RACED TO KENOSHA
United Metal Selling Company
Claims Wholesale Thefts
Were Committed Here
LOADED CARS lamp Erred WITH
Com pany Claims That Many Thefts of
Copper and Brass Have Been
Found at Kenosha-Effort to
Break up Robber Band

The fact that Kenosha is the home
of large colony of carSthieves, who
have been making large sums of
money during the past two years, has
been shown by the receipt of letter
from the United Metal Selling com,
pany of New York. This letter which
is addressed to the chief Of police
states that after long investigation
the managers of thessscompany have
discovered that cars loaded Cat the
Offices of the company have Seen
robbed while beinga transported
drought Kenosha.
These robberies it is stated, have
been going on for years and the com
pany have been at loss to account
for the continueda short weights com
planned Of by their customers.
Finally detectives weresE employed by
the company, andsafter visiting many
cities and tracing cars for hundreds
of miles, it was found that the
shortages were usuallysdiscovered just
after the cars had been cleared at the
Kenosha station. The company has
several large customers in ,Kenosha
aud this fact first called their atten-
ton to this city.
The company can not make any
accounting Of the amount3 of brass
and copper that has been stolen, but
it is thought that the Chiefs may
amount toshundreds of dollars.
In advance of the information sent
out by the New York company. Detec.
tive Green Of the North Western
detective service has beensin Kenosha
for the past two weeks making an
effort to- break up the gang of car
robbers. Green has unearthed many
thefts, but most of,themshave been Of
a minor nature. Two men were ar
rested for stealing coal and sanother
for stealing brass castings, ssbut none
has been arrested for looting cars
laden with brass and copper. Junk
dealers in Kenosha are inow being
closely watched as it has been learned
that these men have 'shipped away
large amounts of brass land copper
aud it is possible thatssome of it will
be located in Chicago warehouses.
There is little doubt but that the
gang of thieves which has been work
ing in the yards of the railway COM
pany have stolen hundreds if not
thousands of dollars worth of stuff in
the last two or three years. Some
time ago number Of boys were ar
rested by Detective Green and they
admitted that they had carried on a
regular traffic in stolen wares for
some time, but these boys were not
held, as the officials declared that the
real root of the trouble was to be
found in the fact that older men were
engaged in similar thefts.
The boys as we'll as theI older men
had no trouble finding market for
the stuff stolen.
The police of the city with the aid
of the railway detectives have started
work and the officers are determined
to clean out the gang.

TUNNELING UNDER RIVER
Water Commissioners Begin the Work
of Laying New Main for North Side

The Board of Water Commissioners
have started the spring campaign of
work and the first extension of the
mains for the present season will be a
new six-inch emergency main to the
North side. The main is to be laid
under the river near thesMidole street
bridge. It is thought that when this
main is completed it will add greatly
to the efficiency of the service given
to people in the northwestern part of
the city. The work of laying the
pipes is going slowly on account cf
the fact that the commissioners find a
scarcity Of commonla borers.

Of the most important questions
which must be dealt with by the stock

be advantageous 20 consider the plan
