WRONG IMPRESSION.
Majors Interest in Traction Company
Is Not of Financial Sort.

Cleveland. O., Aug.-In the dispatches
handled by The Associated Press July

proceeding over the street railway sit
uation in this city. the statement was
made that the railway line of the Cleve-
land Electric Railway Co. on Fulton
street was torn up by men acting I'M
der the orders Of Mayor Tom l.. John
son, aud that this action was owing to
the pending controversy in behalf of
the Forest City Railway, 3-cent-fare
line ana which under certain conditions
can come under the ownership and con-
troll of the municipality.
In addition to relating the facts as to
the tearing up of the rails of the
Cleveland Electric Railway Co, the
additional statement was made that
Mayor Johnson was credited with be-
ing largely interested in the Municipal
Traction Co" This statement was I'M
warranted is believed to be entirely un-
true. if in it's reading it tended to ere

had any financial interest whatever in
the Forest City Railway Co. and is
cor trary to every public statement
made by that Official, he having Speci-
fically anticipated by public announce

been interested in the success Of the
company, as an ultimate municipal
ownership proposition, but primarily to

TO ABOLISH CASTE
The Rev. Floyd Tompkins, Form
er Rector Of St. Matthews
Plans Social Revolution
SOLVE SERVANT PROBLEM

The Rev. Floyd Tompkins, former
rector of st. Matthew's church in this
city, and now rector Of the Holy
Trinity Episcopal church in PhiIadel-
phia, is gaining national reputation
on account of his efforts to effect So
cia1 revolution. Mr.. Tom pkins is
rector of one of the most exclusive
churches in Philadelphia, and for this
reason his actions are attra citing wide
attention among the leading people of
not only Philadelphia, but of New
York and other Eastern cities. Mr..
Tompkins proposes to abolish caste in
his church and in the nation, and to
this end he will take the lecture plat
form to secure the carrying out of his
ideas. The servant problem has long
been one of the hardest problems for
Philadelphia people to deal with, and
the Rev. Mr.. Tompkins claims to have
found a solution for it. His solution
is to treat the servants employed in
his home with the same consideration
that he treats any other member or
guest of his household. No longer are
the servants in the Tompkins home
forced to eat off Of broken plates in
the kitchen, but they are invited to
sit at the family table and to be in
every way a member Of the family.
This elimination of the servant
caste has solved the servant girl prob
lem IN the Tompkins family, and the
minister claims that this solution may
be made universal one. Mr.. Tomp-
kins also insists that servants in his
home shall be given every possible
chance to secure proper educational
advantages.
The idea may be good one, but it
is hardly possible that it will be put
into use by the former parishioners of
the minister in this city.

Sidney Leonard, Kenosha County
Soldier Who Took Part in Cap
ture Returns For a Visit
HE GOT PART OF BIC REWARD
Story of the Famous Capture is Re-
called Among Grand Army Men
by Return of Former Res
ident of Bristol

Sidney Leonard, former resident
OF the town of Bristol, and Kenosha
soldier known to fame on account of
the tact that he took part in the capt
IRE or Jefferson Davis, the president
OF the Southern Confederacy, is here
from Lakewood, n Y, for visit
with his relatives in different parts of
the county.
This is the first time that Mr.. Leon
ard has been in Kenosha for more than
tWenty-three years and his visit is of
especial interest to the members Of
the Grand Army in the city and coun-
ty. The return of Mr.. Leonard has
started many an interesting story of
the war days among the members of
the Grand Army, but Leonard has the
story that is more interesting than
all the rest. There were $50 men in
the detail which captured Jefferson
Davis, but nearly all of them have
answered the final muster and the few
that remain count this feat as one of
their greatest claims to fame as SOL
diers during the war Of the Rebellion.
The honor for the capture of the
president of the seeding Confederacy
has been given to the First Wiscon-
sin Cavalry and Leonard, who enlist
ed from the town of Bristol, was a
private in the Cavalry. He was one
of the men awho were selected to go
with General Harnden to capture the
Ifamous'prisoner, and he was one of
the menSwith the detail when Davis
finally surrendered and turned his en-
tire party over to the Union soldiers.
It was on May 6, 1865 that General
Harnden was selected to head de-
tail to go into Georgia to make an eff
fort to capture Jefferson Davis and he
was given the privilege of selecting
| the $50 men who went with him.
! Leonard was one of the first privates
to be selected, and under the com
mand of Harnden the detail moved
south into Georgia.
On the morning of the tenth came
the famous clash with the Michigan
troops in which several Unic sol
diers were killed by other Union sol
diers. On the same day Genera
Harnden land detail of ten men, OF
which Leonard was one, came upon
the camp of Davis and his party. The
arrest of Davis was made without fir.
ing shot, and in few minutes the
remaining amen of the First cavalry
were on the spot, and the song "We'1l
Hang Jeff Davis to Sour Apple
Tree" was given it's birth.
After Davis had been released the
Michigan troops attempted to claim
the honor of the capture of President
Davis, but years afterward the war
departmentsdecided that the honor be-
1onged to the detail of which Leonard
was member, and directed that the
500, 900 which had been offered for
the capture of Davis be divided among
the members of the detail.
Mr.. Leonard will be in Kenosha for
several days, and it is probable that
there will sbelsevera1 reunions of the
Kenosha soldiers before he leaves for
his home in the East.

"UNQUESTIONED AND UNQUES-
TIONABLE SOLIDITY.o

In an editorial in the Sunday mill
waukee) Sentinel, December 8, 1905,
condemnatory of former president
McCurdy, the words which are the
heading of this article we're used to
characterize the Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company of New York. It was
therein further said of the company
that it has an enormous surplus, and
that "every dollar owing to policy
holders will be paid at maturity
All this has been fully realized by
ninety-fve per cent. of the policy
holders Of this great company, who,
while regretting that former defects
in it's management existed, fully real
ize that no corporate institution in
this world of imperfection can be
perfect, and that all such institutions
would be improved IN conduct by a
searching investigation of their
methods.
Great benefit will accrue to the
Mutual Life and its po1icy-ho1ders as
result of the work of Inquisitor
Hughes, and the new management
is resolved that the work of the COM
pany shall hereafter be carried on so
fairly, openly and economically as to
defy criticism.
The company feels deeply indebted
to its policy holders for their loyalty
and steadiness. Everywhere they
are of high average of intelligence,
thrift and character. No efforts will
be spared to ''make good" for them
and ali new members to be admitted.
For the later decades of the sixty
three years of its history the Mutual
Life has been recognized as the great
est company in the world. When
judged by the comparative measure
of it's good works it has pre-eminently
justified its reputation, and now it is
pleasure to assure its policy holders
and the public that it is having a re-
birth of it's illustrious ideals, and TAX
ing on methods of economy superior
to those of any other company. Since
it's resources are greatest its results
to policy holders will be highest.

Former Kenoshan is Being Spoken of
as Candidate for Governor
Louis G. Bohmrich, of Milwaukee,
a former superintendent of the M. H.
Petit Mailing company's plant in
this city, is being boosted by his
friends for the Democratic nomina-
ton for governor of the state, and it
is stated that Bohmrich has been
given the assurance that he can have
the nomination if he will accept it.
The former Kenosha man ran for
governor against LaFo1lette FIVE
years ago, and was badly worsted. At
that time Mr.. Bohmrich was living
in Kenosha, and he was practically
unknown in other parts of the state.
Since that time he has been practic-
ing law in Milwaukee, and has gained
something of a reputation as an ora
tor. He is strong with the Mi1wau-
kee Democrats. Mr.. Bohmrich has
not as yet announced his candidacy.

Carl Fredick and Mrs. Frank Mach
acek Said to be Located in Far West
The district attorney and chief of
police have been notified that Carl
Fredick and Mrs. Frank Machacek,
who were charged with clipping from
kenosha many weeks ago, have been
located, and they are now living in a
small town in California. The couple
were located by Frank Machacek, the
husband of the woman, and he has
received letters from friends in Cali
fornia giving the information in re-
gard to the couple. These friends
the streets several days ago and at
once notified the husband. Machacek
has turned his information over to the
police officers, but there is some
doubt as to whether or not the couple
will be brought back to Kenosha. 1t
will cost the county some $500 to get
Fredick and his paramount back for
trial, and it is hardly possible that
either Machecek or Mrs. Fredick will
be willing to contribute this sum of
money to bring the two back for trial.
Warrants were issued many weeks
ago for the arrest of both the man
and the woman, but it is possible that
the warrants will be withdrawn. The
daughter Of Machacek is with the
clippers, and it is possible that he will
