SEVEN BICYCLES FOUND
IN ONE MANS POSSESSION

H. J. Myers was booked at the
Central police station yesterday on a
charge of grand larceny.
1t is alleged that he stole seven
bicycles. Myers says that he lives
with his wife at 1914 South Grand
avenue and is solicitor for pianos.
Two years ago he came to Los An
geIes from Santa Cruz where he carried
on a bicycle business.
Myers says that whenever he finds
anyone who wants to sell a wheel he
buys 1t from him and sells it later at
a profit. That is how he accounts for
the possession of the seven bicycles
found by the police yesterday.

SAM sCHENCK.


Police Commissioner Samuel Schenck
last night rendered his resignation as
commissioner to Mayor Harper.
Presiding at the board meeting yes
terday afternoon the mayor announced
that he held the resignation, but said
he had not accepted it, as he wanted
to look up certain features of the case
among other things a successor. An
hour or two afterward the mayor an
nounced that the resignation had been
accepted.
The police board dropped from the
department Patrolman Edgar M.
Barnes who arrested Kenneth Preuss.
The ground for the action was that
Barnes lacked the qualities needed to
make him good patrolman. AS he
has served less than six months of his
probationary period this action was
within the province of the board.
Officers Under Fire
Charges were preferred against Lieu.
tenant George H. Williams and Desk
Sergeant George H. Sparks.
The men are charged with lack ot
mental energy on the evening of June
2S with reference to the arrest ant
detention in the city jail of Bradner w
Lee and Kenneth Preuss.
Acting Chief of Police Paul Flammel
had previously suspended these mer
and the board ratified their suspension
setting Tuesday night as the time for
their trial.
Mr.. Schenck later appeared at the
mayors office with his brother, Attor-
ney Paul Schenck. They gave out a
statement throwing the former official
on the charitable forbearance of the
community.
Schenck made only one request-that
he and not Lieutenant Williams, Ser
geant Sparks and Patrolman Barnes be
blamed for what he characterized as
the indiscretions of few nights ago,
which are said to have threatened to
revolutionize the entire police system
of locking men up in Jail and holding
word to their friends.
The board meeting was a short one
all commissioners attending except the
one under fire. Attorney Lee did not
appear, though he and Mayor Harper
had conferred over the case.
In the open meeting of the board
there was no comment by any of the
commissioners except the mayors an
nouncement. Attorney Lee and the
commissioners talked the case over
earlier in the day at an executive ses-
sion.

SPIRITED HORSE
AFRAID OF AUTO
Runs Through Wire Fence and
is Badly Cut-Happened
on North Road.

An exciting runaway occurred Sun
day morning on the North road. a
short distance out of the city. The
owner Of the rig was William Pitzner,
a farmer residing near Columbus, who
was on his way home, having been
here visiting relatives. According
to the story as told by Mr.. Pitzner it
was as follows: When he had reached
the North road cheese factory, he
noticed an automobile coming around
the bend; going east. He jumped
down and grabbed the horse by the
bits, the animal being naturally
spirited. Either the driver of the
automobile did not see the signal, or
paid no attention, coming on at a
lively clip. The horse took fright
and broke away from Mr.. Pitzner,
running through a barb wire fence
with the rig and all. It continued
across field and came to standstill
when 1t ran into another barb wire
fence. The horse was cut in fright
full manner. So much so that DR.. A.
H. Hartwig, the veterinary surgeon
was called on. While it Is expected the
horse will live, it Is doubtful Of it
will ever be of much service.

WATERFOWL AS A
DIVISION TERMINAL
MORE HEARD As TO RUMORO OF
MILWAUKEE ny. CHANGE.
La Crosse Division May Be Marked
BY an Important Change
Blame Attitude Of Portage To-
ward COmpany-WOuld Boom
This City.

The following excerpts from dis.
patch from La Crosse to the Miiwau-
kee Sentinel will be read with interest
by the readers of The Leader, the
same having appeared in the Sentinel
yesterday morning.
"The rumor that Portage is to be
cut off as terminal of the La Crosse
division of the Milwaukee road is being
perslstently talked OF among the en-
ployes OF the La Crosse division and
for the first time since the report
was originally circulated number of
years ago the people of Portage are
becoming alarmed.
cit is said on good authority that
the railroad company is considering
two plans: one to move the Portage
freight yard and its terminal appur-
tenances about eight or ten miles
west In the town of Lewiston, so as
to divide equally the distance between
La Crosse and Milwaukee,: the other
to make Watertown division term
inal and have the freight and passen-
ger crews run between Watertown
and La Crosse without change at Port
age and between Watertown and Chi
acgo without change at Milwaukee.
"The reasons given for the proposed
change Is the need of more yard room
at Portage and the difficulty of get
ting in the present location and the
unfrienGly and unfair attitude of the
city authorities of Portage toward the
railroad. The company Is incensed
over an order compelling them TO lay
cement Sidewalk along their property
where there are no dwellings,; also an
order demanding that viaduct be
constructed over the Portage freight
yard. The railroad company claims
that it will cost practically $50, 900 to
construct the viaduct and argues
that amount could be used to help
defray the cost of moving the yards
inasmuch as they have been dissstis-
fed for years with the terminal at
that polnt.''

VICE PRESIDENT
D|TTEMORE HERE
VISITED WATERFOWL YESTER-
DAY TO SIZE UP SITUATION.
Milk From l.4OO Cows Now Con-
trdCted FOr-LdCkS 400 OF Re-
quired Number-Still Hope OF
Securing Van Camp C0ndensing
Plant-To Send Representative
Here to Canvass.
(Frorn Sundays Dsily.)

Still there is hope Of securing In
Watertown the establishment of 9
condensing plant by the Van Camp
Packing company of Indianapolis, Ind.
John V. Dittemore, the vlce-president
of the company, was visitor in the
CITY for few hours yesterday for the
purpose of sizing Up the situation here
and ascertain what progress had been
made in the way of contracting fol
milk. Mr.. Dittemore arrived on the
noon train from Belolt and left on the
80 Milwaukee train for the east.
While Mr.. Dittemore was still
determined as to the number of cove
that must be contracted for-2, 600
in order to assure the location of the
industry, he still held out q ray OF
hope that WATERFOWL might be sue
cessful, NIB is evidenced III the fact
that the gentleman agreed to send q
representative here next week to go
into the country and canvass among
the farmers III further effort to
bring the contracts up to the required
amount. Mr.. Dittemore was very
positive in the statement that the
1000 cows contracted for on the start
must be in close proximity to the city.
He said that in two years from the
time of the completion of the plant,
the concern would expect to receive
100. 900 pounds of milk daily.
Thus far Watertown is making a
creditable showing, although we are
quite q ways from the required
number of cows. An investigation
of the contracts yesterday shows that
the milk from 1,400 cows has been
contracted. AS this leaves but GOO
to secure, it would seem that this
number could BIZ secured the coming
week, providing good hard work is put
in. There should be nc tagging on
the part of the enthusiasts who have
been putting their shoulders to the
wheel thus far IN the game. The bird
il nearly in hand and can be landed
by continuation of the effort. The
Van Camp people have shown that
they are favorably disposed toward
Watertown on account of the excel
lence of this as dairy section and
also on account of the shipping tacil-
tiles here. But it should be re-
membered till the last contract il
signed that the Van Camp Packing
concern is wealthy corporation and
decidedly Independent because OF
that fact and because many other
cities are clamoring for the industry
which WATERFOWL CAN get by =
little more exertion.

FEDERAL BUILDING
SITE AGAIN TALKED
misunderstanding on Part OF
Government OffiCidlS-Will
Now Perfect Titles.

The Leader Ii reliably informed
that the question involved regarding
the site in Watertown for the proposed
federal building is row settled and
the indications are that the deal
affecting the purchase of the property
at the corner of First and Madison
streets will soon be closed. 1t appears
that there has been misunderstood
ing on the part of the government
authorities, who were of the belief
that the options on the property at the
purchase price of 1850 would not
provide for permanent alleyways on
the south and north sides of the pro-
perty, which is 100 x 100 feet. 1t
now appears that the authorities at
Washington are satisfied that this
provision has been made and the assur-
ance is given out that the transfers to
the government will SOON be MADE.
The delay has hinged on settlement
of the question of the alleys. The
attorney general at Madison will at
once investigate the matter to the end
that the government be given per-
feet title. while minor details are
being looked after by G. A. Kading.
The properties chosen for the.federa'
building are owned by Edward Gnatzig
and Edward Rack. This property,
however, would not provide for the
alleys which the government demands.
Fred Miller owns the ID foot alley on
the west side, while on the south side,
the property necessary for Is foot
alley is owned by F. G. Keek and
the Cole estate. In addition to the
appropriation by the government. the
expense arose in that of providing for
the alleys. These owners have asked
TO be reimbursed for their property,
the claims amounting to about $500 in
excess of the appropriation. AS the
government does not provide for the
additional expenditure, it will be
necessary tor the property owners
adjoining the proposed site and WIN
will be benefited to make up the
amount by subscription. At least that
ia the plan proposed.

EVERY MAN HIS OWN DOCTOR

EVERY MAN HIS OWN DOCTOR.
The average man cannot afford to
employ a physician for every slight
ailment or injury that may occur in
his family, nor can he afford to neglect
them, as so slight an injury as the
scratch of a pin has been known to
cause the loss of q limb. Hence every
man must from necessity be his own
doctor for this class of ailments. Sue
cess often depends upon prompt treat
ment, which can only be had when
suitable medicines are kept at hand.

POWER COMP ANY IS
ORGANIZED IN CITY
OIL. HUE PRESIDENT OF NEW
100000 CONCERN.
P. L. Utley is Secretary and Treas
urer-Will Develop Water Power
Recently Secured on EsCanabd
Rivera Large Pulp Mill is
Contemplated.

Several days ago, The Leader
called attention 20 the fact that
Escanaba Electric Pulp, and Powe,
company had fitted articles of incor.
poration with the secretary of state,
also stating that several WATERFOWL
people were connected with the new
concern. An organization was
perfected yesterday at meeting held
in this city when the following officers
and directors were elected: President
0. L. HUE, Marinette; secretary
and treasurer, P. L. Utley of this
city; John Strange, Menasha.
It is the intention of the company,
which is incorporated for 500, 900,
to improve the valuable water power
on the Escanaba river, between
Escanaba and Gladstone for electric
power and later erect large pulp
mill in this territory in the upper
peninsula of Michigan.
AS The Leader previously stated.
Mr.. Strange is largely Interested in
the Island Paper company of Menasha,
Wis, also in the John Strange Paper
company Of Sioux City. Mr.. Utley
is a practical electric man and Mr..
HUE was formerly in the employ of
the WATERFOWL Gas & Electric COM.
pany and later with the Menominee
Light and Traction company. The
association of Mr.. Utley with the
new concern does not mean that he
is to sever his connection with the
local Gas and Electric company. He
will remain here just the same.
The other stock holders are exper-
fenced men of capital who will devote
time and mouey to develop the power
recently acquired from the /. Steph
enson company.
1t is expected they will place the
two cities, mentioned among the fore
most ones in Upper Michigan AS water
power cities thereby enabling them
to extend their manufacturing plants
and offer inducements to all new
manufacturers to locate in the cities
by furnishing cheap power. We re-
peat that when these men enter an
enterprise of this kind we can assure
the people Of Escanaba that they are
patriotic men and can be counted on
to hustle for the interest OF their city.

MAGAZINE SECTION
ABSENCE EXCLAIMED
Old Concern Goes to Wall
Arranging Same Feature
From Another Firm.

1t is with many regrets that The
Leader is obliged to drop its magazine
section tor today, but the management
is in hopes and confident that arrange
luents will be made to continue
next Sunday, securing the magazine
section from another publishing house.
The following letter will explain
the absence of this feature of The
Leader today.
Chicago, June 13, 1907.
Leader,
WATERFOWL, Wis.
Gentlemen -
IL is with the greatest regret that
We are compelled to advise you that
we have found it impossible to con-
tlnue the publication of the magazine
section The assurance on which we
went ahead after April were an
absolute guaranty of advertising
sufficient to cover the deficit in cost of
production, but our circulation has
been steadily falling off and we find
ourselves unable to make good on our
end of the advertising matter.
Yours very truly,
American Mutual Newspaper Ass n.
The management of The Leader is
negotiating with another concern to
furnish magazine section and in all
probability will have them in time to
send out a week later. The best is
none too good for the readers of The
Leader.

DORNFElD-KUNERT
CO. BID LOWEST
Only Two Bids for COnStruC-
ton of Rough and Ready
Bridge-ChiCdgO Firm.
(From Sundays Daily.)


The members of the board Of public
works met yesterday for the purpose
of opening the bids for the construc-
ton of the proposed Oconomowoc
avenue BRUCE. Strange as it may
seem, there we're only two bids pre-
sented, the lowest being by the Dorm
feld-Kunert company OF this city,
whose figures were $l2, 800. The
other bid was the Sterling Engineer
ing xnd Construction company OF
Chicago, their figures being SIS, 831.
In all probability the borad will re-
part favorable to awarding the con-
ract to the local concern. whose bid
was over $4,000 lower than the
Chicago firm. The length of the
proposed bridge will be 256 feet.
