HAS No COMPETITION
Frank | Wells Buys Valuable,
Patents Owned by Hoefer
Manufacturing Company
CONTROLS MACHINE TRADE

Kenosha is to have monopoly on
the manufacture Of machinery for the
use of bed spring making plants in
the future as on Wednesday Frank L.
Wells closed deal by which his only
competitor IN this line of business,
the Hoefer Manufacturing com pany
of Freeport, ILL.,, was eliminated from
business and in the future ali ma
chinery of this sort used in the world
Will be manufa ctured at the Wells
plant in Kenosha. This arrangement
was completed when Nj. Wells pur-
chased outright all of the patents
owned by the Freeport company.
These patents include patents for the
manufacture of spring coiling ma
chimes, crimping machines, knotting
machines and machines for straight
ening wire. The Freeport company
and the Kenosha company have been
the only competitors IN this line of
business for several years and Mr..
Wells has been manufacturing the
machines on the royalty plan for
several years. These royalties took
up a large portion of the profits of the
business. The Hoefer company will
now give its time to the manufacture
of drilling machines exclusively and
Mr.. Wells will take the other lines of
the business. It is understood that
the consideration for the patents was
in the neig of SIS, 900.
When seen this morning Mr.. Wells
stated that the purchase of the val
liable patents would in no way change
the Kenosha plant more than that it
would insure the employment of a
few more men and the operation of
the plant on a somewhat larger scale.
He finds that the spring coil patent is
a most valuable one. and he believes
that he could keep good sized plant
busy the year round manufacturing
this machine alone.
The Hoefer Company has been
doing large export trade, and all of
this trade will now be brought to Ke-
nosha.

ssJim Crows In India.

Every little while the world is askel
to consider the possibility Of an upris
ing of the natives of India agains
the "beneficent' rule of the British
Things have recently been pictured al
very much unsettled and the possible
ty of another Sepoy rebellion not re
mote. Why this should be SO has long
been mystery. Kipling, who is an au
thority on India, told us in ''The White
Mans Burden" that the Indians are
getting all the grain in the Anglo-In
dian partnership and the white mar
only husks. But from India comes an
other story.
A recent number Of 1.-THE Friend oil
India" published in Calcutta, declares
that arbitrary rule "has converted the
loyalty of the native army into disaf
lection" The Indian army outnumbers
the European soldier element two tc
one. Since the Sepoy rebellion half q
century ago the natives have been
highly equipped and we'll trained in
modern methods. An uprising today
would be something more than riot il
the people have long been nursing a
social grudge. A "frowning gulf Of So
cial intercourse" lies between the
white man and the native in India
says Prathifal Signh, cultivated In
dian, who describes the situation in
the Hindoostan Review. This writer
asserts that naughty attitude, brutal
discourtesy and utter want of discern
ment characterize the behavior Of the
Britisher toward his brown brother.
He speaks Of "the bitter feelings al
ready existing between the rulers and
the ruled in India" British army Off
GERS are not alone in maintaining q
naughty attitude toward the natives.
Raw civilians" sent out as civil serv-
ants lose their heads and put on airs
Of superiority the moment they get

"Jim Crow cars, 'for Indians only, .
and no Indian is allowed to enter cars

discomfort is noted now among the
Sepoys, just as in the days preceding
the mutiny of 1854. Evidently England
cannot afford to disarm her white
forces in India at present.

Peter Yezick, Former EmpIoye
Of Chicago Brass Co., Asks
SIS, 600 for Injuries
COT FOOT IN MOLTEN BRASS
Action is Started in the United States
Court and it is Expected to Come
to Trial at the September
Term of the Court

One of the biggest suits for damages
for personal injuries ever filed against
Kenosha corporation was filed in
the United States Circuit Court for
the Eastern District Of Wisconsin to.
day when Attorney Calvin Stewart of
this city and Wallace Ingalls, of
Racine acting for Peter Yezick of
Waukegan filed an action against the
Chicago Brass Works demanding
damages in the sum of twenty-five
thousand dollars.
The accident on which the action is
based occurred on Sept. II of last
year when Yezick was employed as a
pourer in the foundry of the Kenosha
company and in his capacity it was
his duty to carry the pots of molten
brass from the furnace to the moulds.
1t is alleged in the complaint that in
order to do this it was necessary for
Yezick to work on platform and that
on the day of the accident the plat
form which is alleged to have been
rotten, broke with him and when he
went through it the molten brass in
the pot which he was carrying, was
poured over his right leg. Ia his fall
the brass was also spilled so that por-
tons of it fell on his left leg. The
mans right foot fell directly into the
pot of burning metal and his shoe was
burned off and the foot terribly in
jured He was removed to the Keno
sha hospital where the managers of
the company saw to it that he had
every possible care. It is alleged in
the complaint against the company
that Yezick never recovered from the
accident and that it will now be neces-
sary to remove the right foot and that
it is possible that the left foot will
have to be amputated later. Since
the accident it is alleged that Yezick
cupation. At the time the man was
injured he was earning in the neigh
borhood of sixty dollars month and
the damages demanded are computed
on this earning power. The suit is
brought in the United States Court on
account of the fact that Yezick is not
at this time resident of the state of
Wisconsin. 1t has been placed on the
calendar of the Court for trial at the
September term. The large amount
demanded by Yezick for his injuries
makes the suit one of more than pass
ing interest and manufacturers in the
city will follow the hearing of the
case with great deal Of interest. Il
is expected that the attorneys for the
Brass Company will file an answer to
the complaint within few days. The
summons and complaint were served
upon the officials of the company on
Wednesda afternoon in order that
the suit might be filed in the United
States Court today.

THE Business Mems Association is
a little late with its protest against
the c rails, as far as Grand avenue is
concerned, but it may influence some
of the aldermen to know how the
business men of the city stand when
the railway company asks for the
privilege of using this kind of rails
on other streets. A good many mat
tets directly affecting the welfare Of
the whole city would be handled diff
ferently in the Council than they are
now if we had good, strong, active
Business Mems Association to do a
little personal work now aud then
with the aldermen, and the banquet
of the Association Tuesday night may
be the beginning of better things for
Kenosha. BY the way, how does the
Association stand on the proposition
to give the street railway company an
extension of time on streets that it is
not using?

BEGIN CABLE WORK
Kenosha Home Telephone Co. Begin the
Work of Striuging New Cables

Kenosha Home Telephone Co. Begin the
Work of Striuging New Cables
A force of twenty-five expert tele-
phone workmen came to Kenosha
from Milwaukee tod1y to start the
work of stringing ney cable for the
lines of the local company, and dur
ing the next three months miles of
cable will be strung>in the city. Most
OF the cable lines are to be on the
outskirts of the city, and none of the
cable will be laid underground. The
stringing of this great amount of new
cable has been made necessary by the
recent decision of the company to
operate only two.party lines in Keno
sha, and when the cable is up this
change in service will be possible.
In the meantime the telephone
service will be greatly extended, as
new lines will be strung to the out
skirts of the city where there are
practically no telephones at the pres
ent time. 1t is planned to have the
work completed by the first of next
September.

To Sea In a Hotel.

Columbus crossed the ocean and dis
covered America in a sailing craft
about the size Of catboat The Santa
Maria, his flagship, was sixty feet long.
He went back in the Pinta, which was
forty-five feet long. But that was 415
years ago. About 100 years ago Rob-
ert Fulton ran a boat by steam from
New York to Albany. Since then
aquatic travel has changed considera-
bly,.
A few days ago a seagoing hotel
swept up New York bay under her own
steam. She had crossed the Atlantic
with her guests inside. This hotel is
725 feet long and stands out Of the wa
ter like five story house. She dis
places $4,000 tons of water. On the in
side she is modern hotel, with all the
improvements. She has some improve
ments not found even in the most mod
ern hostelries, for she carries her own
swimming tank. Like landlubber no
tells of the first class, she has passenger
elevators, private dining rooms and
sun parlors. She has private suits,
with dumbwaiter service, just like city
flats or apartment 5, SO that the highly
exclusive family may occupy it's own
quarters and be SHIT off from the rest
of the passengers that is, guests dur
ing the weeks sojourn in this hotel.
Why should anybody want an air
ship? In these days we may step up
to the hotel desk and register in New
York, paying our weeks bill in adj
vance, enjoy all the luXuries Of the land
likewise the sea- and take our de
parture at the end of the week on the
other side Of the ocean. Both Mr.. Co
lumbus and Mr. Fulton were laughed
at by the know-it-alls of their day and
generation, but subsequent events have
proved that they had original ideas
which were well worth testing.

THE Milwaukee avenue property
owners have given the matter careful
consideration and they probably made
the best of a bad matter when the ma
jority of them gave their consent to
having their pavement torn up for the
conduits of the American Telephone
and Telegraph Co., but it is rather a
pity that the company could not have
been made to put down its lines in
some alley or on an unpaved street
No matter how carefully the repairing
is done the pavement is bound to be
damaged to some extent, for it can
never be put back ''as good as new,'
the officials of various corporations
which have. occasion to rip up the
pavements from time to time to the
contrary Notwithstanding. The Mil
waukee avenue people are fortunate
in that the John O. Jones Co. is to do
the repair work under the supervision
of the city engineer, for the telephone
company left the paved streets it had
to tear up on this side of the river in
awful shape, and the ''repaving"
done by the company finally had to be
done all over again by the city.

Commissioners for raise in the pay

we'll take up the question of raising
the firemen at the same time. The

a raise if the police get one, and il
the aldermen raise the pay in one de.
partment, they must be prepared tc
meet demand for an increase al
along the line.

NEW GILLETT STORY
Watchman at the Tannery Thinks it
Possible That Gillett Was Abducted

Waterman at the Tannery Thinks it
Possible That Gi1lett Was Abducted
Interest in the search for missing
John Gillett was revived again Thurs
day night when some of the men most
interested in the search for the old
Kenosha character we're told an un-
usual story by Charles Wilson, the
night Waterman at the tannery. Will
son stated that on the night that Gill
lett disappeared he had noticed a
strange event on the corner just west
OF the tannery buildings. He says
that two men drove up in carriage
and had spirited conversation with
an old man whom he did not recog-
nize. He says that it was evident that
the men sought to have the old man
get into carriage and that he refused
to accede to their demands. The in
cident was ended when the men took
hold Of the old man and pushed him
into the carriage and drove away.
Wilson's story as to the incident is
in no way doubted but it is not
thought that the man forced into the
carriage could have been John Gil1ett.
The utter lack of a motive for any
one to abduct John Gillett leaves little
reason to believe that Gillett could
have been the man forced into the
carriage. The story has been told to
the police and they will look into it
and make an effort to find the driver
of the carriage. The life savers of
the Kenosha station are still watch
ing the river and the lake and they
believe that at some time or other the
lake will give up the remains of John
Gillett.

Upon statistical authority the secre-
tary of commerce and labor, Mr.
Straus, asserts that the percentage OF
Socialists in the organized labor of the
United States has declined from 33 to
s per cent. That there are not more
than per cent of Socialists In the or
ganized labor Of the country may well
be credited. But that they ever reach
ed 80 per cent is not very probable
statistics to the contrary notwithstand.
