FOR BITTER FIGHT
Senate Not To Confirm Appoint
ment Of Edward [. Tracy
as Oil Inspector
OFFICE MAY BE ABOLISHED

There will be very bitter fight be-
fore the Legislature. this week over
the con 6fmation of Edward L. Tracy
of Milwaukee as oil inspector.
The senatorial contest is likely to
have SOME effect on this fight, though
members of the judiciary committee
say that if possible political prejudice
will be eliminated from the matter
and that unless good reason is shown
why Mr.. Tracy should not be con-
firmed that they will report this APP
pointment of the governor to the SEN
ate for confirmation
1t may be, however, that if Mr..
Tracy is confirmed his life in office
will not be of any great duration, as
there is plan now before the legis-
1ature for the drafting of a bill to
wipe out the whole system of oil in
spection in Wisconsin. 1t is said
that oil inspection is no longer peces-
sary as there is no danger now that
all oils sold anywhere will not be of
required test.
By products which can be manufac-
tured from extracts of kerosene have
rendered the question of oil inspec-
ton unnecessary. These products
are now too valuable not to demand
the best possible refining of oil and
it is declared that when oil goes to the
market with these by products ex-
tracted it always is better than the
test required in this state.
This bill for the abolition of the oil
inspectors will probably be intro
duced this week and it is likely to be
the subject of ny-exciting debates
as that great army of partisans will
not be wiped out Of existence without
making hard contest to save their
political heads.

Mayor German Finds 1t Hard to
Secure a Good Engineer to
Build kenosha Plant
MAY SEEK NEW CONTRACT
Present Lighting Company May Offer
Large Concessions to the City in
Event Another Contract
Is Made With 1t

Notwithstanding the fact that the
people voted in favor of a public
lighting plant at the recent city cleo
ton the plans for the plant are just
as immature IS they were before the
election and Mayor German is find
ing the task of securing an engineer
to design and build the plant hard
one. The city is beginning to re-
ceive applications for the position
from all parts of the country but no
action is being taken on these app1i-
cations as the matter of the employ
ment of an engineer has been left en-
tirely in the hands of the Mayor and
as yet he has not found the right
party for the job. The Mayor is seek
ing to secure man from the A1lis-
Chalmers company in Milwaukee and
there has been considerab BILE cores
pondence IN regard to the business
but as yet nothing Of positive ma
ture has been done. 1t is patent to
even the best friend of municipal
ownership that the plans which were
made by the Milwaukee Engineering
company before the matter was sub
m1tted to the voters will have to be
revised and there is little doubt but
that quite sum of money will be
added to the estimate of the cost when
the new plans are made. Mayor Cor
man when asked in regard to the
progress of the work stated that at
the present time he had absolutely
nothing to announce but that he
would have something in the near
future.
La the meantime the City Council
has taken no steps to provide for the
money for the plant and this will not
be done until the plans and specifca-
tons are made and the Council has
formally decided to go ahead with the
project.
In the meantime it is certain that
the Kenosha Gas and Electric com
pany will make a proposition to the
City Council for new contract within
the next six or eight months. It is
not known what this proposition will
be, but it is certain that the company
will make some large concessions to
the city and it is possible that the,
rate offered by the company will be
lower than the rate estimated for
municipal plant. IF such should be
the case the Council may very seri-
ously consider the proposition of ac-
cept1ng the bid of the company.
However the members OF the Council
are opposed to any ten year contract
and if new contract is made with
the company it will certainly be for
much shorter period.
It is very possible that the City
Council will again submit the ques-
ton of municipal plant to the voters
in the way of referendum for bond
Issue. This could be done at the next
city election and it would make mum
icipal ownership a campaign question
for another year. However if the
plant is to be installed in time to take
up the work when the contract with
the Kenosha Gas and Electric COM
pany expires, the Council must get
busy at once.

1t will be noticed that some enter
prising advertisers are beginning to
daub up the walks even in the resi-
dent districts with their painted signs
again and the city should put a stop
to this form of advertising right at
the start. We had more than enough
of it in the last municipal campaign.
If one advertiser is allowed to use
the walks for advertising purposes
all can do it and there is no limit to
which advertisers may not go if they
are not checked right at the start.

NEWELL WILL FILED
Will of the Late Frances c. Newell
Filed for Probate in County Court

Filed for Probate in County Court
The will Of the late Frances c..
Newell was filed for probate in the
County Court for Kenosha county on
Tuesday afternoon and it will be adj
mitted to probate at an early date.
The will not only provides for the be-
quests announced on Monday after
noon, but it directs that the trustees,
Frank S1osson, Charles C. Brown and
James ]. Hoyt shall, at their discre-
ton, draw from the fund of twenty
thousand dollars and make requests
TO Anna Norton of Pasadena, Cal I,
Ella VanZandt Cutler of Los Angeles,
CAL, Mrs. G. D. Hackathorn and Miss
F. Harriet Newell of Kenosha. The
will also provides that the residence
now occupied by Ella VanZandt
Cutler shall be decided to her.
Mrs. c. D. Hackathorn, one of the
women mentioned in this clause of the
will, died several years ago. The
will was made on December Is, 1901.
BY ifs terms the main body of the
estate which is left to the son and
daughter shall be held in trust un-
til the son, Edward Newell, has at
tanned the age Of thirty years and the
daughter, Miss Moyca Newell, has
Eattaired the age Of thirty-fve years.

For measure of such far reach
ing Importance, the local option bill
which gives residence districts Of
from 100 to1, 1000 people the right to
decide by vote whether or no they
will admit saloons, has attracted little
attention. If the bill becomes a law
and there is every indication that it
will pass, it will be possible to abso-
lutely check the invasion Of any resi-.
dence district by saloons and it will
be impossible for City Council to
extend the saloon limits without the
consent of the people directly inter-
ested.

STOPS COMPETITION
Alleged That Steam Roads Band
Together to Eliminate EIec.
trio Freight Carriers
COMMISSION HEARS FROST

Interstate Commerce Commissioners
James S. Harlan and Edgar e. Clark,
at Chicago Tuesday, heard the evil
dence yesterday IN the complaint of
the Chicago and Milwaukee Electric
railroad, which seeks to have an order
issued by the commission compelling
the Illinois Central to resume traffic
relations which it is alleged to have
can ce1ed at the behest of other lines,
competitive to the electric railroad.
Fayette 5. Munro, representing the
electric road, said it was built with
the intent of conducting freight as
well as passenger business, and for
that purpose the line is laid with 80
pound rails. The freight equipment
OF the line consists of three freight
cars, which are used in local business.
The line does not possess any refrig-
orator cars.
Charles w. Merrilles, traffic man
ager of the electric road, gave de-
tailed account of the relations exist
ing between his line aud the Wiscon-
sin Central and the Elgin, Joliet &
Eastern, and said the tariff with the
Illinois Central was in connection
with the Elgin line.
1t was alleged that the Il1iro Gen.
trai agreed to furnish cars for haul
ing cabbage and did furnish the first
three ordered and then failed to fill an
order for twenty five cars, and shortly
afterwards Cancelled the tariff arbi-
trarily. Asked if the Illinois Central
notified him of the cancella ton, Mr..
Merril1es said.
NO; Learned of the cancellation
through letter written to the Elgin,
Joliet q Eastern, in which the Illinois
Central said the tariff was Cancelled
because the Chicago & North Western
did not want the competition"
Blewett Lee, attorney for the Il1i-
nois Central, asked that the case be
dismissed, as the Elgin, Joliet &
Eastern was not made party to the
suit, and it would be impossible for
the Illinois Central to have any con-
nection with the electric road, except
over the rails of that company.
Commissioner Harlan ordered the
case to go on and said the Elgin, Jol-
let q Eastern would be brought in
later in the proceedings. .
w. E. Keepers, general freight
agent of the Illinois Central, claimed
at the time the twenty-five cars were
ordered there was car shortage all
over the country, and it was impossi-
bic to allot cars for. the service and
further the electric road, not possess
ing any rolling stock, was not in
position to reciprocate. He said the
assertion that the shippers were en-
barassed because of the cancellation
Of the tariff was not borne out by
facts.
9rrSty s4s Isl ~
The case was continued until some
future date to be named by the COM
missioner when the formal entry of
the Elgin. Joliet & Eastern road into
the case will be contaminated and
then considered by the entire COM
mission.

IT is of course impossible to say
what a lawyer might be able to read
into that Ashland avenue franchise
ordinance recently granted to the
Kenosha street railway company by
the City Council. There may be
sleeper" in it somewhere which will
permit the railway com pany to build
the line in the time specified in the
ordinance or not just as it pleases, but
it is difficult for the ordinary layman
to see why the fact that the company
has failed to file satisfactory bond
and has asked for further favors from
the city should operate to give the
company any extension of time under
the ordinance as it stands. l. IS the
business of the managers of the COM
pany to get all they can from the city
for as little as possible, but even if
the Council turns down the T rail
proposition the Ashland avenue prop
erty owners need not worry for fear
the line will not be built in the time
specified by the ordinance. 1t does
appear that the managers of the COM
pany take slightly different view Of
the ''crying need for the immediate
extension of the local system" now.
than they did when the ordinance was
up for consideration in the Council,
but the rights given them on Ashland
avenue are much too valuable for
the company to run any risk Of losing
them by any failure to comply with
the terms of the ordinance.
