TO INSURE DEPOSITS
At the Present Session of Con-
gress a Law May Be Passed to
Protect Patrons of Banks
STATE WOULD ADOPT LAW

At this session of congress a law
may be enacted esta blishing a system
of insurance against loss by deposit
tors in national banks as such law is
being urged throughout the country.
If such a law is enacted this state
would have to follow suit and estab-
fish a system of insurance against
loss by depositors In state banks. II
is certain that this would be a neces.
sary measure of protection for the
state banks, which would suffer dis.
astrously In competition if the federal
banks were provided with the pro.
posed depositors' insurance system.
Gov. Davidson, in an interview at
Madison Friday, said:
II am convinced that the next ses.
sion of the legislature may have to
consider some method of insuring
depositors in state banks. The fed
eral government will have to consider
it before long, and should it adopt a
plan year or more ia advance of the
adoption of one by the state govern
ments, state banks would suffer from
the loss of patronage or be forced out
of business. That would be little less
than calamity
''No state in the union has a
sounder lot of state banks, believe,
than Wisconsin. The report of Com
missioner Bergh, the summary Of
which was published last week, shows
what tower of strength the state
banks constitute.
Sin justice to them, in justice to
the business of the country, and IN
justice to the thousands of bank de-
positors, this state should adopt some
plan of insrring depositors in its
banks if the federal government pur-
sues that policy. know the objec.
tions sometimes raised to such insur-
ance-that it might tend to promote
careless banking but under our
Wisconsin system of close scrutiny
and supervision, that danger is large
ly eliminated, and should not stand
against the great benefits to be de-
rived from having the state guarantee
every depositor that he cannot lose a
dollar he lad put in state bank. /
am not prepared to present specific
plan for such insurance, but should
the national government in the mean
time adopt such policy of protection,

officials some feasible plan will be

Fight Between Frost and Grover
Lines TO be Settled in Su-
preme Court of the State
ROAD BUILDING is DELAYED
Tie Attorney For the Company An
nounces That Condemnation will
Not Be Pushed Until the
Case Has Been Decided

Announcement was made this
morning that the suit of the Chicago,
Kenosha and Milwaukee Railway
company VS.. The Kenosha Electric
Railway company, for the condemna.
ton of the land now used by the local
company, as site for car barns would
be appealed to the Supreme Court by
the Kenosha Electric Railway COM
pany and the attorneys for the Frost
line are now preparing the papers to
be sent to the Supreme Court. 1t is
expected that the case will be argned
at the January term of the Supreme
Court.
The case is the most important sent
up from Kenosha county IN some
time, as on the outcome of the case
depends the building of the Chicago,
Kenosha and Milwaukee road on. the
route recently laid ont by the com
parry.
Should Frost beat the Grover COM
pany in the Supreme Court it is ad-
mitted that the company would be
forced to abandon the route that has
been selected for the road through
Kenosha, as the piece of land in
question is in the very center of the
proposed right of way. When the
case was tried in the Circuit Court
Judge Belden in a long opinion de-
cided that the Chicago, Kenosha and
Milwaukee company was through
line and that as such a line it would
have the right to condemn land even
though it was used by a local electric
railway company
The Kenosha Electric Railway COM
pany had also started an action to
condemn the same land on the grounds
that it was needed as a car Darn for
the company and that the company
had repeatedly make an effort to pur-
chase it and that the deals had all
been interfered with. The property
is owned by people residing in the
western part of the county, and it is
claimed that they are ready to sell
the land to either company at the di-
rection of the court. The petition of
lA4C NA4AGdS W 4AOAOSAAG dhN
company had the right of priority as
it was filed some time before the
petition of the local company.
Attorney James Cavanagh, who
represents the Grover line in Kenosha,
in speaking of the matter said:
''Should Frost win this fight in the
Supreme Court our plans will be badly
interfered with and it would be nee
essary for us to lay out new route
for the road through Kenosha. The
piece of land in question is in the di-
rect route of the main line proposed
by our company, and as a straight line
is necessity for fast time, we would
have to delay the building of our line
until such time as we can lay out
and condemn another right of way"
The condemnation of the right of
way for the new road which was
started several months ago is not be-
ing pushed and it is evident that the
managers and attorneys for the COM
pany will not go into this until after
the Supreme Court has decided as to
the ownership of the car barn site.

WILL CONTEST CONTINUED
Many Witnesses Declare That They Be-

The hearing of the contest of the
will Of the late Leander Merrick took
up the entire time of the County Court
Oh Thursday, and when court ad-
iourned late in the afternoon Judge
Slosson did not render any decision in
the matter and an indefinite post
ponement of the matter was taken IN
order to allow both the proponents of
the will and the contestants to put in
other evidence.
Many of the former neighbors of
Merrick were placed on the stand by
the attorneys representing the con-
testing heirs and nearly ali of these
people declared that they had for
years regarded Merrick as man of
unsound mind. All of them stated
that Merrick had been acting queerly
since the stroke of apoplexy in 1898.
However, all of these men admitted
that they had transacted business
with Merrick and that he seemed to
be shrewd business man. The date
for the continuance of the hearing
will be arranged by stipulation among
the attorneys interested in the case,
but this date will not be set until next
week.

Two officers were sent to the house,
but when they arrived they found
everything perfectly quiet and the

SEEK BANKER HERE
Man Wanted for Looting Bank in Swe-
den May Be Hiding ia Kenosha

Chief of Police O'Hare Friday morn
ing received a letter from Holm
quist, governor of Fa1un, Sweden,
asking that he make an effort to find
some trace of Tor August Peterson,
former clerk in the Swedish Nation
al State bank there, who is alleged to
have distracted large sum of money
from the bank and then concealed the
shortage by making false entries in
the books of the bank. 1t is thought
possible that Peterson may have come
to this city, as it is alleged that he
had friends here and may have for
merly resided in Kenosha. Peterson
is thirty-two years of age and man
of high educational attachments. 1t
is thought that his wife is with him.
The police have been watching about
the city, but have found no trace of
the much wanted banker. A reward
of $500 is offered for the arrest Of the
man.

ANOTHER WALKING MATCH
Illinois and Milwaukee Athletic Club
Members Will Tramp to Chicago


In spite of the fact that the walk
from Milwaukee to Chicago proved
too much for five Of the members of
the Illinois Athletic club, who essayed
the task, the Chicagoans have not
given up their walking proclivities.
The |. A. c. has accepted the chal-
1enge of the Milwaukee Athletic club
for another journey between the two
cities aud the event will probably
take place before the holidays.
According to an agreement between
the clubs, two teams of FIVE men each
will undertake the journey. The
teams have not been picked, out the
officials of both clubs are busy select
ing the men. One of the interesting
phases of the race is that athletic
members will not compete. Young
sters and trained long distance rum
ners will be barred.
Aid. Badenoch, who finished the
long walk yesterday, will lead the
Chicago team, and Mayor Becker will
lead the local five. The older mem
bers of the NJ. A. G. have been stirred
up and the athletic committee expects
to be swamped with entries for the
walk.
