MUST WATCH THEATRES
Spread of Small Theatres Demands OBJ
servance of Fire Laws in Cities

Spread of Small Theatres Demands OBJ
servance of Fire Laws in Cities
The coming of the fvs-cent electric
thcaters and the manner in which
they are increasing in numbers
throughout the country is calling for
great restrictions regarding the means
provided for taking care Of the peo-
pie in case fire should break ont and
cause panic. If such thing should
occur there is but one place that it
could start and that is in the operat-
ing room where the large picture ma
chine is lighted up by electricity. In
case. fire does start there it would be
an impossibility Tor the people inside
such theater with 40 rear exits
to get to the street without going
through the FIRE, and this would not
do. Consequently many cities are
passing rigid ordinances regarding
the exits in.the rear of these theaters
so that large crowds can be taken
care of in case of fire.

A WOMAN SCORN
Woman at Van Vert, Ohio, Offers
Evidence in Regard to Rob-
berries in kenosha
NAMES HUSBAND AS GUILTY
william Mau, according to the Story
Told by the Ohio Woman, Was
Connected With Robbery
of the Dale Window

The hatred of woman scorned may
result IN number of mysteries con.
nected with sensational robberies in
this section Of the State during the
past two years being solved, as the
! police of Kenosha and Van Vert, O.,
are now investigating story told by
a woman living in the Ohio citys The
woman gives her name as Mrs. Ben
Gleason, aud she accused her former
husband, William Mau, former resi-
dent of Kenosha, Of having been con-
nected with at least one sensational
robbery, and she insists that the man
is an all roundAcrook and would stop
at nothing but murder.
The story Of the woman was first
brought to light through letter sent
to 7. J. Dale, whose jewelry store was
robbed many months ago in a most
daring manner. The robbery took
place on Sunday evening just ate.
O'Clock. The window in the front of
the store was broken and jewelry and
watches said to be valued at from
$50 to $500 were taken. The police of
the city never found any clue to the
guilty parties. The woman, now liv-
ing at Van Vert, volunteered the in
formation. Mau is no longer living
in the city, but Chief of Police O'Hare
of this city, and Police Chief Charles
E.. Jackson aret at work on the case
aud it is possible that Mau will be
located.
The Gleason woman claims that she
formerly lived here with Mau, but
that they separated and that she went
to Van Vert, and that shortly after
she left Kenosha she had been advised
that Mau had married a girl by the
name of Sally Dykes, who had for
merry lived IN Kenosha or in one of
the towns in Kenosha county. She
claimed that the couple are now liv-
ing at a small town in Michigan. She
alleged that her husband that was
had protection from officials IN the
Michigan city and that it would be a
decidedly hard matter TO arrest him.
From the story told by the woman
the police believe that they have
struck lead which will result in
clearing up many mysteries in both
Kenosha and Racine, as Mau formerly
lived In both cities. The woman,
however, is so vindictive that the
officials will closely look into her story
before they seek to make any arrests.
The name Of Mau does not appear
in the city directory and noeone can
be found who knows the man. The
former wife came forward and offered
her assistance on the case without
any urging from the officials, and
they seem to be of the opinion that it
is possible that she is seeking revenge
on the man whose name she formerly
bore. The case will be closely inves-
tigated, however.

WANTS BIG DAMAGES.
Magnus Miller Sues Railway Com.
panies for Touching q Live
Wire in kenosha
CLAIMS PERMANENT INJURY

In the Circuit Court this morning
MagnEs Miller, through his attorney,
Wallace ingalls,, of Racine, instituted
a suit for five thousand dollars
against the Chicago and Milwaukee
Railway company and the Kenosha
Electric Railway company. Miller
seeks to recover damages for personal
Injuries received by coming in con.
tact with live wire at the corner of
Elizabeth and West Main streets on
the evening of Oct. 20 of last year.
lie claims that he was permanently
disabled by the injuries received at
that time.
The accident, which has resulted in
the suit, attracted considerable at
tention at the time. Miller was on
his way home from the Brass Mills
where he was employed and when he
crossed the railway at Elizabeth
street it is alleged that he fell against
the live wire which was hanging from
the pole owned by the Kenosha Rail
way company. Miller was knocked
down and seemed to be slightly in
jured. Officials of the company called
an ambulance, but Miller ran away
and went home and would not permit
the company to send him to hospital.
In his complaint Miller declares that
the company had negligently left the
live wire in the street for hours with
out its being properly guarded. The
agents of the company declare that
the wire was properly guarded and
that Miller was urged not to touch it.
It's claimed hat they even used
force to prevent his being injured.
Nhe suit is the first one to be
brought against the Kenosha E1ec-
tricaRailway company or the Chicago
&sMilwaukee in this county and the
outcome Of it will be watched with
great deal of interest. The case has
been noticed for trial at the March
term of the Circuit Court.

FIGHT OVER MERGER.
First Clash Comes Before Bay State
Legislative Committee.

Boston, June 4-rhc first contest over
the New York, New Haven & Hartford
and Boston & Maine merger proposition
came up late today before the joint rules
committee of the Legislature in q petit
ton of Senator w. r. Hayes Of Spring
field ordered to the committee by Rep. J.
Meyers. the petition calling for action to
prevent the merger.
w. d. Lawrence, representing the Law
renee fanliIy. which has large holdings OF
1;oston & Maine stock, appeared before
the committee urging the need Of im,ne-
date legislation and expressing the opin-
ion that the Meyers order was Of little
valUe. Mr.. Lawrence said it was the
general verdict that the BOSTON and Al
bany merger with the New York Contra!
road had been a mistake He opposed
the committees referring the matter TO
tic new commission on commerce and in
dustry appointed by the governor.
I Representative Meyers said if the pres
idents of the two roads would come be-
fore the commission and say they had no
intention of consolidating he would with
draw his order
Mr. Mcy ers asked that he be allowed TO
offer a substitute order eliminating the
word ''rlmor'' and giving the committee
power to make n partial report to the
governor with the recommendation tina
he call the Legislature in special session
to consider the merger proposition. He
also asked the committee for further
time that he might bring Boston business
men before the committee. Senator Vahey
of WATERFOWL opposed the order. He de-
clared that if the present Legislature dill
not prevent the consolidation it would be
effected before the next session and ex-
pressed the opinion that the order would
help the merger by delaying action.
Mr. Valley charged that the proxy law
had been deliberately omitted from the
statutes at the last revision for the eX-
press purpose of permitting mergers.
Representative Blanchard of Somerville
asked if it was possible that the merger
had already been accomplished. Senator |
Valley replied that he thought it improb- |
able, as he did not believe such an i'm /
portant financial deal could be concealed
from The public. The committee then
went into executive session and later adj
journed until Thursday.
