TROUBLE FOR FROST
Promoter and Builder of Chicago &
Milwaukee Electric May Have
Trouble With 0therLine
ALASKA PROJECT UNDER FIRE

Fresh troubles in the affairs Of A. c..
Frost, whose banking company and
Chicago and Milwaukee electric road
are in the hands of receivers, cropped
out in Chicago yesterday. This time
they appertain to the Alaska Central
Railway company, of which he is pres
ident.
The unpleasantness materialized when
John E. Ballaine, brisk, determined
young man, arrived in Chicago from
Alaska bent on eliminating the Frost
interests from the railway. When the
two men met there was a stormy inter
change Of invective, in which a personal
encounter was narrowly averted after
a policeman had been summoned Bal
laine threatened to "smash' Frost, and
Frost threatened to "brain' Ballaine
with heavy bronze ink stand.
The man from Alaska arrived in Chi
cage armed with all kinds Of legal bills,
which he threatens to file against Frost
One was bill for receivership for
the Alaska Central, in which Frost is
charged with juggling the finances Of
the road and defrauding the stockhold-
ers In addition he said he was having
Chicago attorneys draw up bill de-
handing 100000 damages of Frost
on charges Of breach of contract and
milking the road.
Ballaine is the original promoter of
the railway. He interested E. A. and
Charles Shedd in the undertaking and
twenty miles were constructed. Then
Frost bought out Ballaine's construc-
ton company and continued the con-
struction, ffty-two miles having now
been completed running north from Sc
ward Ballaine, who was to have re-
ceived payment in stock of the road.
charges that Frost has not lived up to
the agreement
Ballaine alleges that he constructed
and equipped out of his own resources
twenty miles of road at $16,25O mile,
whereas Frost has charged $4,000 a
mile for the construction of the last
thirty-two miles. Ballaine issued $780,
900 bonds and stock for his work and
Frost $4,700,O0O for his.
''This is laughable," said Frost IS
comment on this portion Of the bill.
Ballaine never had any but other peo-
pies money for that twenty miles of
road. Besides, he built it so cheap be-
cause he laid the rails right on the snow
and when it thawed the road came down
with bump. The road I have built is
through the mountains and cheap at
$4,000 mile.

MUST RESET CURB
Property Owners on Rowland Ave.
Demand That Changes Be
Made in the Curling
TROUBLE WITH CONTRACTOR

The street assessment committee is
being kept pretty busy these days re-
pairing defects in paving jobs and
Thursday the members Of the commit
tee held special meeting with the
property owners on Rowland avenue for
the purpose of considering objections
to some of the work done by Contrac-
tor John o. Jones on that street and
as a result of the conference it will be
necessary for the contractor to take
up some of the work and do it over
/. The property owners on Rowland
avenue organized for a fight some time
ago and it is pretty certain that they
are going to continue fighting until they
get the pavement to their liking. Tt
was alleged yesterday that some of the
curb was already out of shape and that
in other places it had sunk until it was
decidedly unsightly. Some of the
property owners declared they will
not pay the assessments levied
against the property until the work is
entirely satisfactory to them or strictly
in accordance to the contract. Con-
tractor Jones was at the meeting on
Thursday and he agreed to do the work
demanded by the property owners.
The city engineer states that the work
can be done in two days and that the
agreement reached seemed to be entirely
satisfactory to the property owners. It
is stated that there was some tendency
on the part of the property owners to
hold up the contractor for a money
settlement but this is denied by the
property owners and they declare that
they want nothing except what the con-
tract between Jones and the city calls
for.
AS yet no investigation has been
made of the charges made by Alderman
Pirsch in regard to the manner in which
the curb was laid on Wisconsin street
but it is expected that this will be
taken up and investigated when the
work of paving the street is resumed.

PASS THIS LAW

The president IS recommendation for
a law to penalize the publication of
seditious matter should be acted upon
promptly. No debatable question of
principle is involved. The wise ieal-
ousy of the American people of their
right to free speech and free press is
not affected. Only the extreme and
dangerous abuse Of that right is aimed
at.
A federal statute prohibiting infam-
matory indictments to violent acts is
necessary because, though such acts are
seditious libel at common law, this does
not make them punishable by the fed
eral government. The terms Of such a
statute should be strict and unambigu-
GUS. They should avoid fatal general
ties which would be pretty certain to
bring the law within the prohibition of
the first amendment, but they should
provide within constitutional limits for
all powers incident to it's effectnal en-
forcement.

CARDS MAKE TROUBLE
Senders of Tinseled Post Cards Keep
Clerks at Postoffice Busy

The obliging manufacturer Of tinseled
postcards Of the souvenir variety, which
cannot be transmitted through the
United States mails without an en-
velope, who have met the emergency
by providing patrons not only with
transparent envelopes, but ones with
round hole in the upper right hand cor
ner, so that a / cent stamp can be af
fixed to the post card after it has been
enclosed in the envelope, are causing
employees of Uncle Sam no end of
trouble In stort, Of late they have
proved the bane Of the lives Of those
in charge Of the mailing division.
And the Kenosha postofice is no ex
ception to the rule While casing al
phabetically some 20 or 40 of this kind
of postcard following the completion of
the work of addressing cards to the ad-
dresses, apprising him or her that a
postcard was being held for cents
postage, the Superintendent of the mail
ing division Of the postofice was ad-
dressed on the subject Of misuse of the
mails.
"Well the greatest evil we have to
content with at the present time as re
CARDS the misuse of the mails are the
tinseled post cards which must of neces-
sity be encased in an envelope,0 said
the postmaster. But the simple fact
that they are enclosed in an envelope, if
there is any writing upon them other
than the address, requires the regular
letter postage for transmission.
"Users of the tinseled post cards
seem to be OF the opinion that because
the manufacturers supply them with
transparent envelopes with round hole
in the upper right hand corner, that
only / cent postage is required. In this
they are mistaken, and some 80 to 40
of these cards find their way to the
desk daily.
"Even in cases where q 2 cent stamp
is attached to the post card, if there
is writing on it, does not meet the re-
quirements of the law, which provides
that the stamp must be attached to the
envelope. So you can readily see that
the hole in the upper right hand corner
of the transparent envelopes, put there
by the manufacturers for the convent
ence of patrons, is no convenience at
all, and a sad inconvenience for those
who have to handle them in the post

1t looks as if Mayor German intended
to tie up the police and fire commission
pretty tight, but he probably considers
that the people will hold that he is
justified in taking any kind of action
under the circumstances. Theoretical
ly at least the police and fire depart
ments are not part of the spoils of poll
tical success and places in either of
them should not be dependent upon the
whim of any political boss.

There are lots of idle men in the city
who need work now more than they are
likely to need it later in the year and
we see no reason why the work on
those streets where the contracts for
paving has already been let should not
be pushed forward at once. What is
the excuse for the delay? Our own
people need the work and they should
not be kept out of it to accommodate
outsiders. How about the Grand aven-
ue paving? That contract has been let
and the gas company has it's pipes
strung along the street ready to lay
but naturally that company will not go
ahead until the city makes some move
to go ahead with the paving. Of
course Mr.. Frost who will have to pay
for his share Of this work is cup a
tree so to speak at present, but if he
is unable to go ahead with the work
at this time he should say so and then
the city authorities cannot be blamed
for any delay.

some of his followers that his election
in any ways alters the laws and ordi-

proceed to carry out some of their pres
ent schemes on that hypothesis. All Of
the powers that the law gives to the

1t would be good plan to cut down
the number Of aldermen to one from
each ward at the same time the number
Of wards is increased and also provide
for three or five aldermen at large to
be elected by the whole city. This
plan is working well in cities where it
is being tried and it has been found
that aldermen at large are very valu-
able addition to city councils. Repre-
senting the whole city as they do these
aldermen at large are more apt to be
free from sectional bias in any contro-
versy that arises in the council and bet
ter able to act Independently for the
best interests of the city as a whole
than a representative of a single ward
who must to a great extent represent
his constituents only in many matters
With eleven wards and three aldermen
at large let us say the city would, have
a council Of fourteen members which is
plenty large enough The city would
also save $1,000 a year by this arrange
ment which is worth looking after.

In the light of recent events it seems
the height of foolishness to even sug-
. gest that the no license sentiment that
is sweeping over the rest of the country
could ever reach Kenosha but the vote
of Illinois shows that stranger things
than that have happened practically
right next door to us and that it is not
beyond the bounds of possibility that
one of these sudden inexplicable changes
of public sentiment that have worked
such havoc with the liquor business
elsewhere may yet strike Wisconsin.
This the summary Of the vote on the
local option issue in Illinois and in it
will be found much food for thought
for the man who has any money invest
