Italians Charged With Robbery of
Nicholas Sacchi Fail To
Secure Their Liberty
cATUSO SAVED BY ACE LIMIT
He Goes to Green Bay For Four Years
While Gillotti and Capello Go
to the State Prison for
Five Years
(From Thursdays Daily.)

The final chapter in the trial of
Charles Gillotti, Emauel Cappello and
Joseph Catuso was written in the Cir
cult Court this afternoon when Judge
Belden sentenced the three men to pri-
son. Catuso will go to Green Bay for
a term of four years at hard labor,
Gillotti and Cappello were each given
a sentence of five years at the State
prison at Waupun beginning at noon
today.
1t is understood that the attorneys
for the defendants anticipating the de-
NAL Of the various motions, had made
arrangements for writ of error from
sthe Supreme Court and it is expected
that it will be issued this afternoon and
that it will stand as stay. in the execu-
ton against Gillotti if not against his
companions. Gillotti stands ready to
give bail to keep himself out of prison
pending the decision of the Supreme
Court in the case and the Court will
fix the bail just as soon as the writ
from the Supreme Court is served upon
him. 1t is not expected that the other
two men will be able to give bail and
It is probable that they VIII be taken
to Green Fay and Waupun to begin
their terms at once. Gillotti IS sentence
will start from the time he is registered
at the State prison.
The entire morning session of the
court was taken up with the hearing of
the arguments in this case Attorney
ingalls, made long argument on his
motion for the discharge of the men on
the grounds that the information was
not sufficient to hold them This was
denied by the court and afterward At
torney ingalls, argued motion for new
trial on the grounds that some of the
evidence which went to the jury should
have been ruled out by the court.
The court did not find this point well
founded and over ruled this motion at
the sitting of the court this afternoon.
When the men were called before the
court for sentence neither Catuso OF
Cappello had anything to say as to why
sentence should not be passed upon
them, but Gillotti addressed the court.
He said; Your Honor Notwithstanding
the fact that this jury has found me
guilty | did not have a thing to do with
| the robbery Of that man any more than
other men in the court room - Catuso
was the first to be sentenced

NOT TILL AFTER ELECTION
henosha Case Against Kenosha Gas and
Electric Company Not Scheduled

1t is pretty certain that the hearing
OF the complaint of Mayor German
against the Kenosha Gas and Electric
Company will not have hearing until
after the coming city election as the
calendar for the Wisconsin Railroad
Commission shows that no date has been
set for the hearing Of the Kenosha mat
ter In fact the Kenosha case is not
even mentioned on the calendar IT is
evident that the commission has set no
date for the hearing and it has not made
ne preliminary investigation Of the con
dltlons. 1t now looks as If the ex-
animation will be laid over for weeks
and It may not be brought before the
commission until some time in the sun
mer. The officials of the Kenosha Gas
and Electric Company are preparing an
inventory of the property Of the com
pany on the blanks furnished BY the
commission and this will be ready for
the agents of the commission when they
arrive in Kenosha to begin actual work.

RAISE THE RATES
New Minimum Rate on Interstate Bust
ness Put in Force on Western Roads

The railroads have put into operation
on interstate business a new minimum
package freight charge. Rates are ad-
vanced. Formerly packages under 100
pounds were shipped for 25 cents.
Now the railroads charge at least 25
cents, but apply the rate of the class
to which the shipments belong. This
will bring some freight shipments of
less than 100 pounds to yield 80 OF sc
cents to the railroad company instead of
the old rate of % cents
Freight rates on small lots have been
boosted more than 100 per cent, in
some cases on all classes of goods. The
increase relates entirely to shipments
of less than 100 pounds, in interstate
business, or in business within the
bounds Of the state on which two or
more roads are involved.
Where the minimum rate on this
small business heretofore has been %
cents, the minimum now is made the
rate per 100 pounds in whatever class
the freight comes.
In the third class where the rate on
a Chicago shipment Of less than 10
pounds has been IS cents, it is now A
cents, the rate per 100 pounds in that
class. In the first class the rate now
will be IS cents, the rate per 100
pounds.
The change Of the minimum is an
order of the Western Trunk line asso-
citation, and affects all roads between
the boundary line of Indiana westward
to the Rocky mountains. The railroads
say they have been losing money on
this class of small business, and the
change is the result.
The class most affected by the change
is the country merchant. The jobbers
toes are also trod upon but not to a
startling degree.
It is said that rates on big shipments
may also be raised in the near future.
Railroads all over the United States
are planning an increase in general
freight rates, it is said

Common Council Passes 0rdi-
nances AnOexing Large Terri
tory to City Of kenosha
MUST WAIT NINETY DAYS
Ordinances Have Been Before the
Council For Three Months But
Members Feared Voting Pow
er Of the New Citizens
(From Thursdays Daily.)

Three hundred and fifty residents of
the town Of Pleasant Prairie and the
town OF Somers will have the privilege
OF paying city taxes next year but they
will not have the right Of franchise at
the coming city election. At the meet
ing OF the Common Council held at the
City Hall Wednesday evening the
Council passed the two annexation or
dinances to annex to the city large
tracts from Pleasant Prairie and Somers
but the ordinances contain rider
which provides that they shall not be-
come operative until ninety days after
their passage by the Council and publ
cation.
The property in the town Of Pleasant
Prairie annexed to the city includes the
strip running from the city limits on
Prairie avenue, west to Balm Drive,
thence south to Salem avenue and east
on Salem avenue to Charles street the
west limits Of the city. The piece
taken from Somers is commonly known
as the Hastings property and it ad-
joins the northwest limits of the city.
In the piece taken from the town Of
Pleasant Prairie there are said to be
in the neighborhood of three hundred
voters And in the piece to the north
of the city there are about thirty
voters.
The petitions for the annexation of
Tho 11ronortr 10 Tho o;+xy 1xyo-o
to the Council more than six months
ago and the ordinances making the an
nexation possible have been in the
hands of the Council for more than
ninety days but the members Of the
Democratic majority have thrown the
ordinances over from meeting to meet
ing until they could be passed at time
when it would be impossible under the
state law for them to become operative
in time to give the people annexed the
right of suffrage.
1t is admitted that in both of these
tracts of land the inhabitants have in
the past been addicted to voting the
Republican ticket and it appears strong
ly on the face of the action of the
Council that there was determined
plan to keep these people out of the
city until after a Democratic admins
tration had been elected. The ordi-
nances had been before the Council in
plenty Of time for passage so that the
people Of the new territory would have
the right Of suffrage this year, but the
| Democrats on the Council declined to
take the risk. AS the matter was ar
ranged these people will Re taxed by
the city next year but they have no
voice in the election of city officials
until two years from now.
The passage Of the annexation ordi-
nances was the only business of i'm
portance to come before the Council and
an adjournment was taken until the
next regular meeting on March 16.
The people in the annexed territory
will seek some benefits at once as they
will ask to have the city water mains
extended into the territory as soon as
It is possible to lay the mains.

TACT that she had died did not become
known to the relatives Of the woman
until weeks ago. The county officials
IN the future will demand that these

WANT BETTER SERVICE
Soners People Believe They Are Entitl-
ed To More Trains on st. Paul Road

Residents of the town Of Somers and
other villages along the line Of the
Chicago, Milwaukee and. st. Paul road
are preparing to voice strong protest
against what they denominate as dis
elimination in the matter Of passenger
service. Somers, which has several
hundred inhabitants and which lies
only few miles south Of Corliss, is in
accessible by train, after very early
train in the morning until late in the
afternoon. and although passenger
trains wbizz through its streets all
night and day at hourly intervals, only
two Of them will stop to accommodate
passengers. The milk train leaving Cor
liss at 1870 CLOCK in the morning,
stops at all villages on the line, and
then no other train will carry local pas
sengers until 0 clock in the afternoon,
while the only north bound train from
these places does not return until the
milk train passes by at 6 CLOCK in the
evening. Residents and business men
thus complain that they are completely
shut off from the rest of the world dur
ing the entire day and night and will
frame a request to be sent to the pas
senger officials of the line, asking that
at least one more accommodation train
be put on.
IF the railroad officials fail to grant
this request the Somers people will take
their nrotest haforn tho S+ata Rai1road
Commission.

the commission, to, consist Of the
chairman of the Board Of County Com
missioners, the Mayor of the City of
Reno, and the city engineer or some

would undoubtedly provide for the

the money might be needed, and to
run 20 or 80 years. and to be issued
in a total amount of not exceeding
100000. Such law. properly safe

"If we are to keep up with the

roads generally throughout Nevada
naturally are perhaps better than in

the road between Carson City and

close to the Sierras, is perhaps the
poorest natural road in the State, and
in many places extremely rough and

RENO. November 18.--Judge +. Il.
Dodge. Assemblyman from Washoe
County, intends introducing at the
next session of our Legislature bill
providing for a bond issue In sum
sufiicient to enable the board or COM

greatly improve the roads and high
ways of Washoe County in general,
and particularly to aid In the con-
struction of first-class highway for
wagons and other vehicles between
Carson City and Reno. In peaking
OF this Mr.. Dodge said:
mo doubt II Washoe County shoulo
construct such highway in that
portion of the distance between here
and the capital city lying In this coun-
ty. Ormsby County would extend the
road the few miles that would be nec-
essary to connect the Washoe road
with the Carson road A highway Of
this kind would greatly facilitate
farmers and mining interests on that
road in communicating with both OF
the cities mentioned. 1t would also
encourage great deal of travel by
people temporary in the State, and
also at Lake Tahoe during the sum-
mer season, as the road from Carson
City to the Lake Is now in fairly good
condition. 1t would make a fine run
for automobiles from the Lake to Re

changed his clothing preparatory to
going on shift and, as the evening
was cool, he went into the boiler

supposed that ne dozed and lost his
balance and fell over backward about
ten feet into the pit behind the boil
ers. Fellow miners who were a
short distance away heard him fall

he only gasped few times and died.
His body was taken to the mine Office
and DR.. Suliryan was hurriedly sum-
moned, but the unfortunate man was
beyond all help.
An examination showed that he
had struck something in his descent,
the scalp on the left side of the head
being torn for five or six inches. the
skull was badly crushed at the top
