.CRESH GIRL HERE.
Child Who Disappeared From Ke.
nosha Is in Keeping Of HUI.
name Society Now
CLAIM FATHER ABUSED CHILD

The mystery surrounding the disap-
year old daughter of John Gresh, has
been totally solved and it is found that
J. H. Karnes, the agent Of the Kenosha
Humane Society has for some time held
the key to the mystery. The little girl
is in Kenosha and under the Watchful
eye Of Mr.. Karnes and it is certain that
she will not be returned to her father.
Agent Karnes when seen in regard to
the matter admitted that he knew that
Irene Gresh was in Kenosha and that
he had talked with her repeatedly in
the past few weeks, but he declared
that he would not make known her
hiding place without a demand from
the officials of the city. Mr.. Karnes
stated that the society was protecting
the little girl and that it was possible
that it would take steps to secure the
custody of the fourteen months old
child of Gresh. This is the "Little John
ny" that the missing girl referred to in
her letter sent here from Racine some
time ago. It is thought that the child
has been in Kenosha all the time, but
Agent Karnes refused to make any
statement to this effect. He declared,
however, that the little girl had been in
good hands and that a suitable home
would be found for her in due time
The child fed from her home at two
o clock in the morning and has since
been under the protection of the HUI
name Society's Agent Agent Karnes
stated that the child had been treated
most brutally by her father and that the
Humane Society's attention had been
called to the case before she left her
home in such sensational nature. The
little girl could finally stand the treat
ment no longer and sought protection
elsewhere. Gresh has returned to Chi
cago and he has not been in Kenosha
for several days, but it is thought that
he will return and take some action to
secure the custody of the child. It is
certain that the child is we'll hidden
and should Gresh seek to secure her
custody again it is probable that she
will leave the city and conceal herself
so that even the officials Of the Humane
Society will not be able to locate her.

Railway Companies 0VeraWed by
Protests Of Shippers Put Off
Date for Rate Schedule
MAY NOT MAKE CHANGES

Alarmed at the cutlery which has been
raised throughout the country against
the proposed advance in freight rates,
the eastern railway presidents have de-
cided to postpone the changes until
Oct. l, and possibly until Jan. 1.
Heads of the commercial organiza.
tions in the west have been given to
understand that this was the action
taken last Friday at meeting of pres
idents held in New York and confirmed
at a second meeting held there yester-
day. The original dates set for the
operation of the advanced rates were
July for the class rates and Aug.
for the commodity rates.
! 1t was stated yesterday by presidents
Of roads entering Chicago that the post
ponement was made in the hope that
by fall business would recover and
there would be no occasion for an in
crease in rates, or that business would
be so much better that the shippers
would not protest if the railroads tried
to better their revenues.
All of the rates between New York
and Chicago, and the Twin cities, both
east and west bound, have been
"checked in" and are ready for publ
cation in tariffs. Likewise all Of the
rates from the eastern edge of the
Central Freight association territory,
which is a line drawn north and south
through Pittsburg and Buffalo, have
been "checked in The intermediate
rates, however, have not been worked,
out, and probably will not be for some
time, so great is the labor involved.
The change in the plans Of the rail-
roads will not change the campaign
which has been inaugurated by the Hi
nois Manufacturers association. The
mass meeting called for Friday of this
week in Chicago will take place.
Secretary J. M. Glenn of the association
as received favorable replies from fully
forty commercial organizations in Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and other
cities.
Before Judge Kohlsaat at Chicago,
yesterday in the creamery cases the
jurisdiction Of the courts to enjoin the
raising of freight rates was called into
question and may have some bearing
ultimately upon the proposed general
advance in freight rates. It was argu-
ed by the railroad attorneys, who are
defending against move to enjoin the
putting in force of increased rates on
cream, that there is no form to which
the shippers could go for the purpose
of preventing increases in rates.

TOOK NO ACTION
Federal Grand Jury Hears Evidence
Against Kenosha Clerk

The federal grand jury in session in
Milwaukee Wednesday afternoon heard
the evidence against Harvey T. Wells,
the missing Kenosha bank clerk, but an
indictment against him has not as yet
been announced. The witnesses before
the grand jury were W. III. Purnell, A.
W. Frantz and J. II. Blair and no furth-
er evidence was presented. The Unit
ed States district attorney has in addi-
ton to this evidence a statement from
the National Bank examiners. It is
thought certain that the Indictment will
be returned, but following the custom
of the federal grand jury it will not be
made public until after the United
States marshal and his deputies have Sc
cured the arrest of Wells The bank
officials state that no trace Of Wells has
been found as yet, but that they are
making every possible effort to locate
and arrest him.
