interstate Commerce commiss.
ion to investigate Switch In
vented by Harry Raymond
COMMISSIONERS ARE READY
Many State officials Anxious to See the
Workings of the Safety Device Pat
ented by the Kenosha Man-Com
pany Expect Large Profits

Harry Raymond of this city, inven-
tor Of the Safety Railway switch, for
which he was recently given a patent
by the United States Patent office,
has received letter from the secre-
tary of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission notifying him that the COM
mission was ready to make an exam
ination Of his invention, and in d
short time M. Raymond will be sum
moned to Washington to explain the
workings of his invention to the COM
mission. Should the appliance of the
Kenosha man be approved by the
commission, his fortune will be as
sured, as we'll as fortune for the
men who have taken an interest in
the work of securing the patents on
the device.
The commission if it finds that the
appliance is all that is claimed for it,
may ask congress to pass a law MAX
ing the use of the Raymond safety
device general on all roads in the
United States. Raymond has also re-
missioners of half dozen of the states
in the Union assuring him that they
are interested in his invention, and
asking that some arrangements be
made to give it a practical test. Mr..
Raymond will leave in few days for
Detroit, where he has an engagement
to meet number of we'll known rail-
way men, and GRobert Brown, the
head of the Vanderbilt systems Of
railways, has promised to give him a
chance to show the workings Of his
switch later in the year.
Special Cmode1s of the switch are
now being made, and the promoters
are little anxious IN regard to the
working of the switch when placed on
regular railway. Raymond is con-
WINGED that the device will prove all
that he has claimed for it, and if such
is the case in the future a misplaced
switch will beian itnpossibility. The
Kenosha railway men who have
looked into the device claim that it
will do the work.
The letters patent which have been
received by Raymond show that he is
not infringing on any other patent,
and there has nothing been filed in
the patent office that is in any way
similar to the device made by Ram
mond.
The patent is now owned by the
Kenosha Safety Railway SwitchScom-
pany, and thee men interested in the
company are expecting to reap a
great fortune out sof its manufacture
and sale. If it is found practical the
sale of thespatent will be sufficient to
make all of the men independent for
life. The officials of the company
are: E. H. Frandsen, president; julius
Pabst, vice s president; and Harry
Raymond, secretary and treasurer.
Other stockholders in the company
are John Pabst sand Frank ]. Kipp.
The recent death of the wife of
Secretary Raymond has made it i'm
possible for him to give his time to
meeting the railway men, but it is
probable that the meetings will be
arranged in the very near future.

BAN ON POST CARDS
Postofice Officials May Arrest People
Who Mail Improper Ones

Postofffce Officials May Arrest People
Who Mail Improper Ones
Owing to the vicious misuse that
hundreds of persons in all parts of
the country have been making Of post
cards in order to vent their spite on
enemies, whom they are afraid to as
sault personally, the postoffice au-
thorities have inaugurated crusade
that promises to land these same ven
omous individuals behind bars and to
have assessed against them heavy
fines, the postal laws providing a
double penalty of not more than $4,000
in fines and imprisonment not to ex-
coed five years.
Col. James E. Stuart, postoffice in
spector in Chicago, has inaug urated a
crusade that he announces will not
stop until the practice has been broken
up, and the local officials are inter-
ested for the reason that they are in
receipt of daily complaints from this
source. The cards in question are
suggestive, at times vicious, and al
ways offensive, and the results, so it
is stated, have many times narrowly
escaped becoming tragedy.

Dr. Fletcher, the chewing expert
thinks he appeals to the pocket when
he declares that the American nation
could save cool million dollars a day
and be as well fed by merely masticat
ing properly. He figures out that each
individual could forego one-half a
pound Of food daily and keep up steam
by chewing well whatever is eaten, and
that morsel is each ones contribution
to the million dollars daily waste. But
the busy man who bolts his dinner in
five minutes looks at table economies
from different viewpoint. To him
slow eating is waste of good time
and death to hustling.

THE assessment for Kenosha
county promises to be just about the
same as last year. The assessors
seem to have seen ''what was written
in the book" in most cases and let it
go at that. 1t is admitted that this is
a decidedly easy way to assess prop
erty, but the assessment is not very
liable to be anywhere near the true
value,

BRISTOL MAKES REPORT
Only One Town ia County Getsin Assess

only one Town IN county JetSIn Assess
ment Roll in Time Specified by Law
County Clerk Crosby is being badly
handicapped in getting out his au-
tumn work on account of the fact that
as yet he has received the assessment
rolls of but one town in the county.
The town of Bristol had this honor.
Ali other towns are still figuring on
the result of the work of the assessors.
The town officials are not entirely to
blame for this condition Of affairs as
the blanks from the secretary of state
were sent out only yesterday. The
state official has been kept busy get
ting out blanks for the primary cleo
ton and on account of the rush OF
work in his Office, the assessment
blanks were overlooked. The city as
sessment rolls are now being footed
up, but they will not be ready for an
other week at least.

Kuropatkin,s New Job.

Although his military successes were
achieved years ago, General Kuropat=
kin has kept UP with the progress of
his profession and is well qualified for
the important task recently assigned
him-the reorganization Of the cars
army. Kuropatkin met with a hard
fate in the recent war. Nevertheless
his experiences in Manchuria were
valuable. He had chance to observe
the woeful deficiencies of that army
which he is now called upon to put
into fighting shape, and these were
noted in actual contrast with the SUI
perb preparation and mastery execu-
ton of an enemy the most thoroughly
up to date in military matters of any
power in the world
In point Of fact Kuropatxin passed
through the ordeal in Manchuria of re-
organizing q demoralized army under
fire. When he reached the front the
Russians were in retreat before the
irresistible Japs. He saved the army
from humiliation and welded out
much Of the poor timber in the corps Of
officers. The general is past the age
when commander may be expected
to show energy in the field, but he
knows the shortcomings of the estab-
lishment and merits the confidence and
support of both the government and
the troops

No Reduction in Rates.

There are no inquiries for Western
rates at the railroad Offices these
DAYS, especially to California. One
man thought that possibly he would
go out there to take a look, and &C
cordingly asked the price of round
trip ticket to San Francisco. The
agent replied that it would cost him
for fare alone about 1920. Nothing
more was heard of his proposition to
go west and see San Francisco. This
is the off season for low rates, and
the regular round trip tickets are be-
ing sold, with no reduction.
