STEWART FOR DELEGATE.
KenOsha Attorney May Represent the First
District at Democratic Convention

Calvin Stewart of this city is being
prominently mentioned as "a delegate to
the National Democratic Convention to
be held at Denver. Mr.. Stewart is on
the right side of the fence for Wiscon-
sin Democrats this time as he is an
ardent supporter Of William Jennings
Bryan and it is generally believed that
the Wisconsin State Convention to be
held next week will declare in undoubt-
ful language in favor of the Nebraska
man. Mr.. Stewart has been one of the
most ardent supporters of Bryan since
he came into the political life Of this
county and it is certain tha he will have
the support Of many of the Democrats
in Kenosha and Racine County. The
Democracy of Wisconsin seems to- be
IN a fighting mood this year and there
are many men coming out as candidates
for places on the Wisconsin delegation.
The Kenosha man may not be able
to attend the convention at Milwaukee
as at that same time he will have an
important case in the United States
Court. The members Of the Kenosha
delegation are seeking to make some
arrangement so that Mr. Stewart may
be in the convention for the opening
session.

FROST HOPEFUL YET
Declares That the Road to Mil.
waukee Will Be Opened by
the First of May
RECEIVERS COME TO KEN0SHA

President A.. G. Frost and the receiv-
ars Of the Chicago and Milwaukee
Electric Railway Company spent few
minutes in Kenosha late Saturday af-
ternoon inspecting the property owned
by the company in Kenosha. The
members of the party came down from
Milwaukee on a special car and reached
the Kenosha station just before five
O'Clock. The property here consists Of
the station and surrounding ground and
quite little land along the road owned
I'by the company and by Mr.. Frost.
The stop Of the party in Kenosha was
exceedingly short and short time af-
ter the car pulled into Kenosha it left
for Ravinia Park where the members of
the party had dinner
The receivers of the road had no
statement to make in regard to the
future OF the road but after a conversa-
ton with the receivers, Mr.. Frost gave
out a statement in regard to the plans
for the future. The Kenosha road was
not mentioned by either Mr.. Frost or
any Of the members of the party
| The statement Of Mr.. Frost was as
follows:
| you can state that the entire road
will be completed and put into opera
tion just as rapidly as the work can be
done, following the trip by the receiv-
ers and their report to the court as to
what is needed" said President Frost.
| Speaking further for the receivers, and
at their suggestion, President Frost
added:
"The object Of this visit is to give
these gentlemen all information posi-
bic with reference to the property of
the company in Milwaukee and other
points along the line; the progress of
the work, up to the time this step was
taken, and to enable the receivers to
formulate their report to the court.
This report will present the situation
as they find it, and will refer the mat
ter of funds needed to complete the
work to the court for it's action When
this is done, it is expected that the
|
vlgor, with view of completing the
line and getting it into operation to
Milwaukee at the earliest possible time,
probably by May l.
"Owing to the present conditions,
the contemplated permanent terminal
Improvement in Milwaukee, at Wells
and Second street, will be delayed
somewhat. But that expected part of
the work will be carried through later
The great desire of the stockholders at
this time is to have the line completed
to the business center of Milwaukee,
and | think this will be realized when
the Sixth street viaduct there is ready
for it, or very soon thereafter. The
general wish is to finish everything
necessary to the operation of the road
as rapidly as possible, under direction
| Of the court. -

WILL ACT AT ONCE
Western Railways To Take Steps
To Find Use for Idle Cars
Now in Many Yards
TO STOP PER DIEM RULES

A special meeting Of the American
Railway association has been called
for Chicago Feb. for the purpose of
adopting measures to stop the tremen.
dous loss occasioned by the present
movement Of empty cars on the rail-
roads, of the country.
1t is, the first special meeting in the
history Of the association, and the
emergency is regarded as great. 1t
is stated that since the falling off in
traffic began several million dollars
have been wasted by the railroads in
their frantic efforts to- send the empty
cars of other railroads home and there
by escape the penalty of so cents a
day for the use of foreign car This
penalty was imposed by the associa-
tl0n less than one yet accom-
plish the very thing which the rail
roads are now anxious to stop At the
time that the 50-cent penalty was i'm
posed, however, the railroads were
more than 10000 cars short of the
number required to take care of the
traffic offered. It was therefore, de-
sired to insure the speedy return of
freight equipment to the road owning
the cars and to prevent roads which
were short of equipment from retain
ing and using ears belonging to other
lines.
Now the situation has so materially
changed that there are at least $780,
600 idle freight cars in the United
States, and no road desires the speedy
return of it's equipment. It is stated
that fully one-ffth of the entire
freight car movement recently has
been that of empty ears being hur.
ried to the owning or home roads
The movement costs an immense
amount of money, and the railroads
have come to the conclusion that it
would be better to permit the cars to
remain where they are until they are
needed.
1t is therefore purposed to suspend
the operation of the per diem rules,
beginning March 1, and continuing
until the situation again demands a
penalty. 1t is also recalled that it
was less than three months ago that
the railroads were planning to impose
a penalty of S. for every car which
was diverted or loaded in the direction
opposite to home. Now the roads are
beginning to permit one another to di-
vert and to use thousands Of cars which
are no longer needed on the home road.

SIX WEEKS MORE WINTER
Gsound Hog Had Good Chance to Look On
His Shadow in Kenosha Sunday


The fendish smile on the face of the
coal man is broader than ever for if
there IS any fact in that old story of
the ground hog and his shadow, Keno
sha will have the full six weeks more
OF winter weather Sunday morning
was the brightest sunniest day of the
month IN Kenosha and if the ground
hog was able to dig through the snow
drifts to the surface it is certain that
he looked on a shadow. He found the
thermometer lingering about the ten be-
low mark and it is pretty certain that
the wise ground hog ducked into. his
hole again without waiting for second
look at the shadow. Notwithstanding
the prediction of the ground hog the
other weather prophets declare that
there will be an early spring and hot
summer.

RAMBLER TO ENLARGE

The February number Of the Rambler
Magazine which has just been issued
announces that the Thomas B. Jeffery
Company has just purchased six acres
Of land and that it is the plans of the
company to further enlarge the home
Of the Rambler" during the coming
spring and summer. No plans have
been made for the enlargement to the
plant but. it is supposed that the new
buildings will be of the same form as
the buildings recently erected. Not
withstanding the bad season the Ram
bier factory is now being operated to
it's capacity and it appears that the
usual large number of Rambler ma
chimes will be sold this year. The adj
vance sales have been very large.

IN TIE CITY COURT
Wa!chwsn Catches Men Slesl.
 iDg Iumb,r From Mill.

A cry of ''Watchman, help!' drew Herbert Brown to the door of the engine room in the Waterbury brass mill in the west end last evening and there he saw a dump cart backed up to the door and two men working hard filling it with pieces of wood. Brown is the watchman of the prem ises and he responded promptly to the call. With help he caught Michael Caputo, the other fellow got away. In court to-day Caputo was charged with theft of lumber worth $1. The lumber was wooden form used in the construction of concrete wall which the Brass company is building. Caputo's defense was that he thought the lumber was of no value. He was fined $3 and costs.
 Rocco D'Avino, a grocer on small scale at 116 Railroad Hill street was up" on two counts of violating the liquor laws, selling without a license and having the reputation of selling. Last Sunday the police found seventy bottles of beer in his place. A few Sundays before he had four kegs, and he admitted having them for use at a christening. His defense was that the seventy bottles of beer were for the use of his family, himself, his wife and five children. The charge of reputation was not proven and he was discharged on that count, while on the other he was fined $10 and costs.
