FEAR AN ADVANCE
The Shippers Expect That the
Western roads Will Raise
the Freight Rates
OFFICIALS MAKE A DENIAL

In spite of the fact that the eastern
railroads have agreed to postpone any
general increase in freight rates until
after the presidential election, ship
pers are becoming alarmed over re-
ports regarding the western roads.
These lines, it is said are quietly
checking up their rates with the idea
of making considerable advances with
in the next lew months It is under
stood the transcontinental roads al
ready have decided on number of
advances in rates to the Pacific coast
to be made effective on Dec. 1. While
no official announcement has been
made, it is said tariff sheets are now
on the press, which include increases
in commodity rates amounting to from
Y to 10 per cent. The rates on steel
from Chicago to the coast are said
to have been raised from rs to so cents
per hundred pounds
Railroad officials deny any general
increase in rates is contemplated, but
it is admitted some Of the commodity
rates will be raised at some time in
the near future and that many changes
have been made by readjustment Of
classifcations, etc. Shippers say sim
liar increases to those on steel are in
Guided in the tariffs now under pre-
paration.
I'VE know that the rates are to be
raised, said an industrial traffic
manager yesterday, "but we are kept
guessing as to when they are to be
put into effect. That puts US in a
hard position when it comes to making
contracts for future delivery, as we
don t know what rate to base our
prices on. There was never so much
uncertainty in regard to rates as
within the last three months

on Lake Ave. Just Before Ten
O'clock Thursday Night
LONG ARESIDENT OF KEN0SHA
Was Among the Earliest of the Ger
man Pioneer Residents of the
City and Had Resided
Here Since 1848

Frederick Fisher, father of William
F. Fisher, the well known Main street
merchant and one Of the pioneer resi-
dents of Kenosha, died at his resi-
dence 40 Lake avenue just before ten
0 clock Thursday night at the age of
s. years. Death was due to natural
breaking down due to advanced age
Mr.. Fisher had been growing feeble
for the past four weeks and had been
confined to his bed for that time. His
death was not unexpected among the
relatives who had been watching at
the bedside.
The death Of Mr. Fisher marks the
passing of one Of the earliest of the
German pioneer residents of the city.
He was native Of Prussia and was
born on Sept. 20, 1928 He was a son
Of Rudolph and Katherine Fisher He
was left an orphan when very young
and was reared ~ an uncle living at
Dissen, Hanover. In 1847 after work
ing for several years on farm near
the home Of his uncle, he came to
America, landing in New York in No
vember of that year He worked for
a short time in buffalo and in 1848
he came with his bride to Southport.
He landed here on July and at once
began to work on a farm in the town
of Somers. Later he purchased small
farm and built himself log house.
In the years which followed he pur-
chased more land, but in 1883 he
traded his farm and came to Kenosha
to live and has since resided in this
city.
Mr.. Fisher was one of the best
known Republicans Of the city in the
earlier days. He cast his first vote
for John G. Fremont and since that
time he had been Loyalty supporter
of the Republican party. He took a
great interest in the city and it's de-
velopment and did much to advance the
interests Of the part of the city in
which he resided for so many years.
Mr. Fisher was twice married. Just
before coming to Southport in 1913
he was married in Eden, Erie County,
New York. to Miss Mary Francesca
Schneider, who died in Kenosha in
1853. Later Mr.. Fisher was married
to Miss Eva Barbara Englehardt, a
daughter of the late George Engle
hardt, one of the pioneer residents of
Kenosha, and their married life
which was extremely happy, extended
over a period of more than fifty years.
The deceased is survived by his wi
dow and two children, William F.
Fisher and Mrs. Louisa Pitts.
Mr. Fisher was man greatly be-
loved among his friends and neigh
bors and his death will come as per-
sonal sorrow to many homes in the
city.

.B|ENNEMANN IS OUT
Former Night Desk Sergeant of
the Police Force Removed
by Chief 0'Hare Friday
NEGLECT OF DUTYIS CHARGED

Joseph A. Biennemann, for mum
Der Of years night desk sergeant Of the
Kenosha police force, was suspended
from duty by Chief Of Police O'Hare
just before midnight Friday night.
Biennemann had been at work until
that time and the chief demanded that
he turn over his star and gun. The of
fcer turned over his badge of office
without a word and Immediately left for
his home. The removal of Biennemann
came as a surprise to many Of the
members Of the force, but it was
known to the police and fire commits
sion that the chief had been consider
ing the step for some time. This morn
ing the chief stated that formal
charges against Biennemann alleging
neglect of duty would be filed with the
commission this afternoon and the
sentence of suspension will not become
permanent until after the commission
has had chance to hear the facts
in the case and decided in regard to
the wisdom of the chief in the removal.
Biennemann has been member of the
force for long time and this is the
second time that he has had trouble
with the chief. It is known that the
Biennemann case was discussed by the
Commission and the chief some time
ago and it is thought that the chief
acted under instructions from the Com
mission. These instructions did not
mention the name Of the officer re-
moved, but, the chief was directed to
remove all men whom he did not think
were doing their full duty toward the
city.
The removal of Biennemann is said
to be only the beginning of an up
heaval among the members of the force
and it is limited that other members
will be let out before the end Of the
coming week. Chief O'Hare refused
to discuss the removal of Biennemann,
stating that the matter was now in
the hands of the Police Commission
and that the formal charges would
show the reason for his action on Fri
day evening

i'll at his home $40 Exchange street
as a result of stroke of paralysis
which he sustained on Wednesday
evening. At the time of the stroke
Mr.. Faulhaber was riding on load

in an unconscious condition. He was
taken to his home and since that time
his condition has been very serious.
Physicians were with him most Of the
morning and grave fears are enter
tanned for his recovery. It was at
first thought that the patient had been
injured by falling from the hay, but
an examination showed that he had
probably been stricken with paralysis
before he fell.

TAKE UP NEW WORK
Kenosha County Medical Society Seeks
Better Hygenic Condition in Schools

Better Hygenlc Condition in Schools
The Kenosha County Medical Asso-
citation at it's meeting at the home of
DR.. A. Van Westreinen on Deming
street Thursday night, took steps to
secure better hygenic condition in
the, school buildings of Kenosha and
to this end the society will hold a
meeting with the members of the Board
OF Education to consider the question
and if possible secure the Inauguration
Of certain reforms which the physi-
clans deem necessary for the welfare
of the children of one city. The presi-
dent Of the society will appear before
the Board of Education at its next
meeting and ask that conference be
arranged for the discussion Of the
questions raised by the doctors. The
matter was generally discussed by the
physicians at the meeting Thursday
evening, addresses being made by doe
tors j. R. Eastman, G. F. Adams, g..
H. Ripley, G. Windesheim, ]. B. Spald-
ing, G. III. Gephart and H. A. Robin
son. The physicians have not declared
that the present conditions Of the
school buildings of the city are IN
sanitary, but they suggested that it
would be well to make a general in
vestigation of all buildings and if pos
sible make plans to secure the better
protection of the children. The dis
cussion was along the lines of better
ventilation for the school and on the
elimination of all children as pupils
whose physical condition was such as
to make it impossible for them to keep
up the work prescribed in the schools
It was urged that many children now
in the schools should be at home under
the care of their parents and the physi-
clans were Of the opinion that child
rem were started to school in Kenosha
entirely too young. Some of the doc
tors were Of the opinion that the child
rem should rot enter the public schools
until after they had attained the age
Of eight years. DIR. Bacon spoke of
the fact that a large number of child

with their eyes and this was partially
attributed to the fact that they
started into school SO young that close
application made the development of
the eyes impossible.
There is little doubt but that the
Board of Education will be willing and
ready to work with the physicians in
an effort to improve the conditions
under which the children are educated.
Following the same lire of work the
city health department has requested
the Board of Education to place Gus
pidors in the halls. Of all the school
buildings and provide. one for each
school room and to demand better ven
tilation of the rooms during the hours
of recess.
The meeting proved to be one Of
the most interesting held by the medi-
cal society during the year and out
side of the discussion of the school
building question the doctors had an
interesting discussion of the subject
of "Preventitive Medicine" follow
ing paper by DR.. J. R. Eastman.
At the close of the literary program
DR.. and Mrs. Van Westreinen enter
tanned the physicians at luncheon.

In answer to Bryan s attack on the
policy Of the Republican party in the
Philippines, Judge Taft has riddled in
speech to visitors to his home in
Cincinnati all the Nebraskan's asser
tons. He charges Bryan s influence as
the cause of year s bloodshed in the
island possessions.
In the course of the speech Judge
Taft said: "In 1900, in the first
presidential campaign after the close
of the Spanish war, Mr.. Bryan an
nounced that the paramount issue was
anti-imperialism. He and those who
supported i'm in that campaign and
who had indicated their policy even
before the campaign came on, con
demned the course of Mckinley with
so much vehemence as to convince the
Filipinos that it was wise for them
to continue in open insurrection, and
Mr.. Bryan and his followers were re
sponsible for the cost and suffering and
loss Of life on both sides which arose
during al unnecessary year Of war;
Mr.. Taft very pointedly shows that
Bryan advocated Immediately indie
pendence for the Filipinos directly af-
ter the Paris treaty, and was in favor
of having them shift for themselves
and then interfered as much as pos
sible with the efforts which were being
made to bring tranquility to the
islands. Mr.. Taft submits that there
lis not the slightest resemblance be
tween the policies urged by the two
parties in respect to the Philippines
and says: Hence, I say, that one OF
the great reasons for keeping Mr.
Bryan out Of the presidency and his
party out of Congress is that they are
pledged to abandon the islands, to ae
cept the policy Of scuttle, to rid this
government of the burden it has as
sumed with respect to this people, an6
to halt the spread Of civilization il
that part of the Orient Mr.. Taft
believes it will be a generation or two
before the Filipinos are fully ready fo1
absolute independence.
