ARE DIVIDED ON MOVE
Railroads are Split on the Pro.
posed Advance on Freight
Rates on August LIST
THE SHIPPERS win A ROUND

Will Oct. l, or Dec. l, or possibly a
later date, be the signal for the long
threatened general advance in freight
rates by the railroads of the east and
middle west Will the advance really
be made in the face of united opposi-
ton on the part Of manufacturers and
shippers throughout the country, or
have the roads overestimated their
strength and unanimity of purpose and
are they now taking an easy method
of receding from their positions?
Manufacturing and commercial as
sociations are waiting answers to
these questions, but they are slow in
coming. The conference between the
heads of the great railroad systems
which was held in New York Thursday
and Friday of last week for the pur-
pose of deciding upon an advance in
rates was expected to determine the
issue and to give the commercial and
industrial interests an answer to their
protests. However, Notwithstanding
the presence of such railroad leaders
as E. I'll. Hartman, George f. Bear,
president of the Reading; James Nc
Crea, president Of the Pennsylvania
FL. A. Delano, president of the Wabash ;
w. I'll. Truesdale, president Of the Lack
awanna; Oscar G. Murray, president OF
the Baltimore and Ohio; F. D. Lorse,
president of the Delaware and Hud-
son, no agreement was reached upon
a settled program for raising rates and
the conference adjourned without ar
ranging for another meeting.
| The result Of the conference appar-
emily is first blood for the shippers
The conference was divided into two
strong camps. Hartman and his as
sociates in the Erie, Delaware and
Hudson and the Baltimore and Ohio
standing in favor of advancing rates
and Baer and McCrea vigorously op-
posing the move on the grounds of in
expediency. Facts and statistics were
marshaled to show why the rates
should be advanced, but when it came
to settling upon general advance
harmony and unanimity received set
back.

Coroner's Jury Urges Reforms in
Building industry at Investi-
cation Into Accident
MAY BE NAMED
Coroner Jury Finds that Death of
Two Men Was Due to Faulty Con
struction of the Vault in
Which They Met Death

"That the said Charles A. Dickhaut
came to his death from injuries caused
by an accident, resulting from the fall
ing &C the ceiling and walls of con-
crete building being erected for Dun
nebache and Company on Market
street, Kenosha, Wisconsin, said cell
ing and walls being part of concrete
vault within the main building. And 1t
is our further opinion that the acei-
dent was wholly due to faulty and in
correct construction. We recommend
to the Chief of Police, The Chief of
the Fire department. OF the District At
torney, whose ever duty it may be, to
see that all parts of the said building
be Immediately examined by compe-
tent architect or builder and that any
faulty construction then be Immediate
ly torn down or made safe. We are
further of the opinion that a reasonably
competent officer, having as his duties
the inspection of the construction of
building generally would have prevent
ed this accident and we therefore
recommend to the Common Council that
they consider the advisability of Great.
ing the office of Building Inspector for
the city of Kenosha, Wisconsin. /"
The above is the verdict of the coron.
er s jury called to investigate the cause
of the death of Charles A. Dickhaut,
who died as a result of injuries receiv-
ed IL the collapse Of the -four vault at
the Dunnebacke building. A similar
verdict was brought in regard to- the
death of Antonio Giacomazzi who met
death at the same accident.
copy of the coroner s verdict will
be sent to the City Council and it is
possible that some action vii be taken
10 secure the election Of such an of.
fetal as is suggested by the coroner s
jury.
Many Of the members of the Council
seem to be in favor Of the passage Of
an ordinance for the regulation of all
buildings in the city and as such an
ordinance has been considered at other
times it is possible that it will be taken
up and that provision will be made in
this manner for the naming of an III.
spector for all buildings. Already
there are number Of candidates in
the field for the Office Of building in.
spector and the Council will probably
hear from a number of candidates this
evening.

STILL WORK FOR PAPER
Democrats of City Seek Long Time Sub.
scriptions to Get Paper Started

The Democrats Of the city have not
as yet given up the idea of starting
daily newspaper in Kenosha and
subscription lists are now in circula-
tion about the city in an effort to
secure support for the paper. It is
proposed to raise the funds for the
enterprise by seeking advance subscrip-
tions and it is claimed that quite a
number of the party leaders have
agreed to aid in the PLAN There is no
fixed plan in regard to the paper. It
is possible that it may be decided to
purchase the plant of the Kenosha
Daily Press which recently suspended
publication. If this plan does not ap-
peal the Democracy will purchase an
entirely new plant and allow the plant
of the former paper to be shipped back
to Chicago. It is considered possible
that the plant of the Kenosha Union
will be taken over as the Democrats are
anxious to have paper in circulation
throughout the county during the cam
paign. It is said that the state Dem.
ocratic committee has promised to give
liberal support to the movement for
the publication of the paper.

Leading Employees Of C. & N.
Claim That Road will Soon
Revert to A. c. Frost
TEN DAYS GIVEN AS LIMIT
Thought That Stockholders in Other
Countries Will Insist That the Road
Be Turned Back TO Frost
AS Guiding Head

That Albert O. Frost will soon be
enabled to gain control of his former
property, the Chicago and Milwaukee
Electric Railroad Company and it's as.
ISOLATED corporations, is the general be-
lief among the employees Of the road
and men acquainted with its affairs.
What basis there is for this belief
on the part Of the men cannot be
learned as they will not state, but they
unite in asserting that there is "some
thing doing for A. c." to quote their
exact words and appear to have all the
confidence in the world.
Mark what I say" said one ex-
official this morning, ten days will not
have elapsed ere Albert G. Frost is
again president of the Chicago and
Milwaukee Electric Railroad Company
and in complete charge, a better man
with the people than he was before.
He is up in Alaska now, I hear,
and 1 have also heard that he is COM
ing back with more money and nego-
table assests at his beck and call than
any or all Of his assailants could muster
up in hundred years.
There is something big doing young
man, and it is coming quickly too.
cit is my belief from the palpably
ignorant and dangerous steps that have
been taken by some of the present Of
fcials of the road that the Northwest
ern is back Of this entire miserable
affair anyway in an effort to stife COM
petition that it knows will eventually
get the bulk of it's Chicago to Milwau-
kee business, which is one of it's prin-
cipal assets. "
Several Waukegan men heard the re-
marks quoted above, and from more
than one mouth, and are waiting for de-
velopments.
Says the Inter Ocean:
"Bondholders of A. G. Frost s bank
rupt Chicago & Milwaukee Electric
Railroad Companies held important
conferences in Chicago yesterday to
determine upon plans for the foreclos-
ure of the properties.
Representatives of the foreign bond
holders have suddenly become particu-
larly active, and it is now reported
that the foreclosure suits will be start
ed as soon as the majority Of the bond
holders can be brought into line.
The bondholders of the $4,000
issue of the Illinois corporation, on
which the interest has been defaulted,
reside principally outside of the
United States. Henry G. Osborne, L.
goldman and Lloyd Harris of To-
ronto, Canada, held conference yes
terday with A. G. Frost, who now has
an Office in the Corn Exchange Ma
tional Bank Building. They discover
ed, however, that the bondholders in
Holland hold majority of the bonds,
anu Mr.. Goldman is now making an
attempt to secure their approval of
the committees plans.

ATTEMPTED HORSE THEFT
Mungen Livery Stable Entered Sunday
Morning But Fail to Get Horse

Report has been made to the police
that an effort was made to steal a horse
from the Mungen stables on Sunday
morning. The men entered the barn by
q rear door and took one of the horses
out of the stall and placed it in another
building connected with the barn. 1t
is evident that they planned to return
for the animal later in the night. Po-
lice Officer Henry Feldschau saw the
men after they had left the barn and
gave chase, but they managed to get
away from him and as yet no trace of
them has been found. It is thought
that the men were professional horse
thieves who thought that they could
pull off a job in Kenosha, but when
discovered managed to make their get
away.

FALL KILLED HIM.
While He Was Trying to Get Out of
the Wilderness.

Tacoma. Wash Oct 2S.-A special
from Hot Springs, Wash. says:
The body of Fred w. Kloeber,
which was found a mile from the spot
where the remains of julius Kumle
were discovered last Sunday was
the searching party members of
which attribute the discovery to the
pack of bloodhounds employed on
Sunday last.
That Kloeber was killed within
short time after leaving his COM
conclusively shown. When found he
was lying face downward with his
head crushed against the roots of a
tree where he had been thrown by
his foot catching on log covered
with snow, probably while making
great speed in his efforts to get out
of the mountains before dark. He
had never moved from the position in
which he fell and his gun was still
grasped in his left hand and under
him. His gloves were on and not in
the slightest drawn. as would have
been the case had he been suffering
from pain. Mr. Klober's body was
found at a point directly opposite to
that he should have taken He had
evidently become confused while at
tending his dead companion and in the
snow storm taken the wrong direc-
tion.
Mr.. Kloeber was born in Marion.
Va, in 1873 and his early work was
in the newspaper field, having been
connected with the Washington
bureau of the Associated Press. the
United Press association and having
acted as special correspondent for
leading Chicago daflfes. He after
ward went to Chicago and in 1901
game to Green River, Hot Springs to
associate himself with his brother.
