WEST MAIN street is one Of the
busiest streets in the city and it
should have been paved long ago but
the city could never get the railroad
to agree to stand it's share of the ex-
pense. The company has now agreed
to put up close to $4,000 for this i'm
provement, and we believe that the
city will be making great mistake II
it does not take up with the offer at
once. Ia return for this payment the
road is to have the privilege of laying
tracks across Grand avenue SO that it
can build a freight depot on the tract
of land it owns north of the avenue
and east of the Crib company's fac
tory. Even without this payment the
demand for the extension of the COM
pany's facilities for handling it's i'm
mense freight business would Justify
the council in allowing its tracks to
cross the avenue. Freight that is
urgently needed by our merchants
and manufacturers, and in fact every
body who receives freight, is now
often held in the overcrowded yards
for days simply because there is no
place where it can be un1oaded. These
delays often seriously handicap BUSH
ness and the complaints are long and
loud. The company is power1ess TO
improve matters as things are now,
but if allowed to use it's land across
the avenue for a freight depot the de-
lays will soon be done away with.
Objection is made to the plan by the
Grand avenue residents who live west
of the tracks and who fear that their
street will soften be blocked by the
cars if the freight depot goes north of
the avenue. They say they are an
noyed a great deal in this way now
and that they do not want more of it..
AS matter of fact the plan will work
just the other way. AS things are
now the company often cannot unload
its cars as fast as they come in and
the freight piles up in the yards SO
that there is no place for incoming
trains to pull in and they have to
wait and block the crossing until a
place is cleared for them in the yards.
If the company is allowed to build a
freight depot big enough to handle its
business it can keep its yards reason
ably clear so that there will always be
room for a train to pull in and out of
the way without blocking the cross
ing. The proposed tracks cannot hurt
the avenue much for they will be put
between the two tracks which already
cross it. The benefits which the
whole city will receive from the pro-
posed improvements overweight the
objections hundred fold

THE yarn that John |. Beggs is be-
hind the opposition to the extension
franchise sought by the local street
railway company will not down, but
we have yet to find the man who takes
much stock in it. Frost has had all
the best of Beggs lately wherever
their interests have FLASHED, and there
is no doubt but that Beggs would like
to get back at him, but the men who
are leading the opposition to the Frost
franchise in this city are not the kind
that work for Beggs.

START NEW ACTION
Chicago Members Of Royal Ar
canum Bring Action in Court to
Enjoin Supreme Council
TO PROTECT OLD MEMBERS

The Royal Arcanum has been made
defendant IN another injunction suit,
which will be argued before Judge
Walker IN Chicago today. In a bill
of complaint which was filed Wednes-
day against the society by Frank Gull
yer, member of the order, the SUI
preme council of the organization is
accused of imposing excessive rates
on the older members of the socity.
At the hearing today temporary
injunction will be asked to restrain
the supreme council from putting the
new rates into effect.
Mr.. Culver recites a long story Of
how the rates for the older mem bers
of the order were raised at the last
meeting in Atlantic City in May, 1905.
He asserts that the new rates are
illegal. He declares that the fight is
only an expression of $4,000 other
members who are aroused by the
action of the supreme council. Ac-
cording to his statement more than
$4,000 members have withdrawn from
the order.
The bill says that all members who
have passed the SO year old mark are
affected by the new ruling, which re-
quires the payment of higher month
1y assessment than was designated
under the original contracts. Under
the new regime the rates for men be-
yond the half century mark in age are
almost doubled.
The bill recites that the New York
Appellate court held that the rate
now demanded is illegal after test
case was tried in New York. All
members in Illinois who are interested
in the suit may be invited to join in
the fight against the rates.
The Kenosha members of the order
and especially the older members, are
taking the greatest possible interest
in this action, even more than in the
recent action brought in New York.
Should the court uphold the claims of
Culver the holding will have dis
tinct local bearing as the Kenosha
chapter is in the same province as
the Chicago chapters. Many Of the
older members of the order here have
been paying the increased rates, as
they refused to be left without insnr.

Efforts to be Made to Secure the
Release Of John Marshall from
Green Bay Reformatory
TO USE HABEAS CORPUS WRIT
Man is Alleged to Have Been SEN
fenced for a Longer Term Than
is Provided by the Laws of
the State Of Wisconsin

Friends of John Marshall, a Keno
sha man, who is serving an indeter-
inmate sentence in the state reform
atory at Green Bay, have started a
movement to secure the immediate
release of Marshall and multiplication
will be made before Judge Hastings
at Green Bay for the issuance of a
writ of habeas corpus to this end.
Marshall was sentenced to the re-
formatory in FEBRUARY, 1904, on a
charge of burglary and he has served
little over two years Of the sentence.
1t is alleged by the men who are
seeking to secure the release of Mar
shall that the court erred in sentenc-
ing him. The sentence of the court
was that Marshall be committed to
the reformatory for an indeterminate
sentence of from three to six years.
1t is alleged in the application for the
writ of habeas corpus that the COM
mitment is faulty in that the law pro-
vides a penalty of not more than FIVE
years in prison for the oHense charged
against Marshall.
The man in question was pretty
well known to the police Of Kenosha.
He was arrested on the night of the
9TH of February, 1904, and shortly be-
fore his arrest he had broken into the
saloon of HOLMAN & Wi1lems at the
corner of Milwaukee avenue and
North Main street. The officers had
suspected Marshall Of several similar
crimes, but they had not been able to
get sufficient evidence to convict.
On the night in question, they had
tip that the saloon was to be robbed
and they lay in wait and watched
Marshall open the window and enter
the building. He was caught while
in the building and entered a plea of
guilty to the charge against him.
Marshall it is said has been a model
prisoner and he would probably have
been paro1led within short time and
given chance to return to his old
haunts and lead new life.
This is the third Kenosha man, who
has sought release from the Green
Bay institution on account of faulty
commitments, and it is probable that
if the court sentences any other men
to Green Bay he will see to it that the
sentences will stick. The prisoners
at Green Bay have recently found a
warm friend in one of the at
torneys there, who discovered this
flaw in the law and he has been kept
busy securing writs of habeas corpus.
Kenosha county is not the only one
affected by the work of the attorney,
as prisoners from nearly every county
in the state have secured their release
through the aid Of the attorney.
In one case Kenosha attorneys aided
in securing release, but in the other
cases the work was done entirely by
the Green Bay specialist.

DRIVER RosING OUT

Member of the Staff of the Central Fire
Company Sends in His Resignation
John Rosing, employed as a driver
at the Central engine house of the
fire department, sent his resignation
to the Board of Police and Fire Com
missioners on Wednesday. He will
give up his position TO accept more
lucrative position in one of the Keno
sha factories.
The Board of Fire and Police Com
missioners met this afternoon for the
purpose of filling the vacancy. There
are now six applicants on the roll for
places on the fire department and two
applicants for police positions. The
board is arranging to have an examin-
alton in the near future in order to fill
up the waiting lists for the two de-
partments.

WAS IN SELF DEFENSE
Angelo Mangan Claims He Shot
Jose Retze to Prevent His Es-
Gaping Arrest for Murder
BOTH HELD TO CIRCUIT COURT

Angelo Mangan and Jose Retze, the
two Italians who had a preliminary
hearing on Thursday afternoon on a
charge of assault with intent to muir
der, were bound over to await the &C
ton of the Circuit court. Both men
were held in bonds of $500. Retze put
up cash bond and Mangan gave the
court a mortgage on his property,
which is valued at several times the
amount of the bond required.
Mangan was the first to be exam
ined by the district attorney, and
after Retze had given evidence of
rather doubtful nature, Mangan took
the stand and told the entire story of
the shooting. He insisted from the
first that he shot Retze to prevent his
escape from the officers. Retze, he
alleged, had cut him with the razor,
and that he was bleeding so hard that
he came to the conclusion that he
could live but few minutes, and for
that reason he whipped out the re-
vo1ver and determined to so wound
Retze that it would be impossible for
him to escape from the officials.
Mangan declared that the first shot
was fired in the air and that he ex-
pected that Retze would stop and be
taken into custody by the crowd
which gathered.
When Retze failed to stop Mangan
said he took aim at him intending to
shoot him in the leg but that he was
so excited and was suffering such in
tense pain that his aim went wrong
and that the bullet pierced the ear of
Retze. The evidence of Mangan was
sufficient to bind him over to the
higher court. Retze, on the advice of
his attorney waived examination and
was held in the same bond as Mangan.
There is general opinion that the
two will get together and patch up
their differences before the matter is
taken up by the circuit court and it is
possible that the two boys will get
out of the scrape with a fine. It is
expected that it will be heavy one
and the officials are of the opinion
that little of the thousand dollars
deposited will ever be handed back by
the county.

IT rs easy enough to see that the re-
suit of certain recent municipal cleo
tions has established thefact that the
people will throw the bosses and the
grafters out and down once in while
Tor make determined effort to do it,
and that the municipal ownership
idea, and perhaps the government
idea, are growing in importance as
political issues. 1t is harder to look
underneath the surface of the returns
and describe the real causes why the
bosses and the grafters have been
permitted to go SO far and why so
many thousands of Disguised citizens
are evidently thinking of municipal
ownership, and possibly of govern
ment ownership, as the only a1terna-
tives to which they can repair for re-
lief. The name s'boss" has, indeed,
become odious-not that anyone con-

money or power, is willing to make
deals or even to develop system Of
deals by which the grating seekers

One of the most unusual actions for
tice court was heard by Justice Nc
Carron Saturday morning when Anton
Frank was arraigned on a charge of
sca1ding Leoplin Schon1ey, comely
woman who resides on Ridge street.
The woman had badly burned arm
and breast to show for the encounter
and the court held that Frank should
pay fine Of SIS and the costs Of the
action. It is not thought that the
woman will be marred for life as a
result of the sca1ding but it will be
some time before she RECEIVERS.
Miss Schon1ey is said to be resi-
dent of Milwaukee, but she had been
in Kenosha Tor some time and Frank,
who had been friend of the woman,
went to her home Friday night accom-
panied by friend. The trouble all
came as result of too much hot

IN the investigation of public ser
vice corporations, that is going on all
over the country, the great telephone
monopoly is beginning to receive its
share of attention, and sentiment is
growing that the telephone companies
should pay more than they do for the
use of the streets. There is no reason
why they should not pay for the privi-
1eges they enjoy just as street rail-
ways do. The balance sheets of any
public service corporation furnish
plenty of evidence that the right to
use the streets for any purpose what
ever is a very valuable asset, and the
telephone companies are no exception
to the rule.

GOT HEAVY FINE
Frank Rosetski Fined $50 and Costs
for Stealing Coal

Frank Rosetski was arraigned be-
fore Justice McCarron this morning
on charge of stealing coal from the
Chicago & North Western Railway
Co. The amount alleged in the COM
plant was SIS worth, but the detec-
tives of the company claimed that
Rosetski had securedLcoal enough to
keep his fires going for the better
part of the winter.
Rosetski at first asked for a jury
trial, but later he entered plea Of
guilty to the charges. Rosetski was
asked to produce receipts to show
that he had bought coal and he pro.
duced one receipt which was little
over a year old, and the court held
that this would not serve as a de.
Tense. He was fined $40 and costs,
which he paid.
