MYSTERY rs SOLVED
Body of Thomas Gallagher Found in the
Kenosha River Wednesday Afternoon

The mystery surrounding the dis
appearance of Thomas Gallagher who
disappeared from the tannery on last
Saturday night was solved late Wednes-
day afternoon when the remains of the
old man were taken from the river near
the Main street bridge. The remains
were found by Lieutenant Mahaney of
the Kenosha Life Saving crew who had
been aiding in the work of dragging
for the remains since last Sunday. It
is thought that the body had been
caught in something at the bottom of
the river and that for this reason it
had not caught in the books of the
life savers before. The remains were
removed to the Miller and Cosgrave
morgue and DR. F. e. Andre summoned
jury which is holding an inquest over
the body this afternoon. Tt is thought
that verdict of accidental death will
be returned by the jury.
The funeral will be held from St.
James Church on Friday morning with
interment at st. James Cemetery.

THE WAR OF THE CLASSES
Mrs. Mary Vincent Writes Interesting
Paper For Woman's Club


The war of the classes (the Guelphs
and Ghlbbelines) was the subject Of an
interesting paper furnished by Mrs.
Mary Vincent for the regular meeting
Of the Woman S Club March 25. In the
absence of Mrs. Vincent the essay was
read by Mrs. Lance.
There was a careful delineation of
the gradual changes of principles fought
for under the old names Of Guelph and
Ghibbeline from the time Of the i'm
perialist and anti-imperialist parties in
Germany, which then controlled Italy,
down throught the struggle of papacy
and empire, of rival noble factions, of
the middle class or guilds against the
aristocracy, and finally of labor against
capital.
The growing power Of industry and
the rise of the masses to political i'm
portance burst the bonds Of feudalism
giving to the world a new Italy where
life was enriched by liberty, knowledge
and art.
The usual discussion by club mem
bers followed. The music Of the after
noon was furnished by Mrs. Amy Fisher.

CREEDS MAY STAND
Methodists Do Not Favor the
Proposed Changes in the
Church Constitution
TO MEET IN BALTIMORE

Leaders in Methodism believe that il
is likely each Of the proposed chang
es in the constitution of the Methodist
Episcopal church will be voted
down at the general or quadrennial
conference which will convene in Bal
timore on May 6.
-Four of the most important questions
which will be put before the confer
ence, and which, according to the pre-
vious vote Of the conference, will be
defeated, are:
Bishops for races and languages and
foreign missions.
Iowa conference change Of ratio and
representation from twenty-five to
ninety
West Wisconsin conference change
of ratio Of representation from four
teen to sixty.
Illinois conference change Of ratio
of representation from twenty-five to
Isevtnty-fve.
The question that has created more
than ordinary interest is that of ap-
pointing bishops for different races
and in the foreign fields. This prop
position conferred more or less on the
possibility Of having colcred bishops
in the church. The voJes Of the sep
parate conferences which recently have
been compiled by the Northwestern
Christian Advocate, an official organ
of the church, reveal the surprising
fact that the colored preachers and
laymen themselves voted against the
proposition.
Another interesting feature Of the
conference will be the appointment of
eight new bishops, some of whom prob
ably will be Chicago men. The Rock
River delegation, which conference in
cludes the Chicago churches, will rec
ommend the names of two and possibly
more for this high honor, It is pre-
dicted that the Rev. William A. Quayle
of ST. James Methodist Episcopal
church will be appointed as bishop,
and the name of the Rev. Polemus III.
Swift of the Austin Methodist Church
will be introduced for an appointment.
The Rev w. w. Stevens will be one
of the four representatives of the Wis
consin Conference at the big meeting.

A. c. Frost Sends Out Statement
Denying Story That Work on
Road viii Be Stopped
RUSH LINE INTO MILWAUKEE

President A. G. Frost Of the Chicago
& Milwaukee Electric railway is out
with a denial of the report that the line
between Racine and Milwaukee will not
be completed this year. He states that
the publication Of these reports was
instigated by enemies of the corpora
ton. lie further said that application
would be made in Chicago for the issu-
ance Of receivership certificates to pro-
vide funds with which to complete the
work as soon as possible. lie was hope
full that the petition would be granted,
saying that he knew there was no in
tention to drop the" work
This morning dispatches from Chica-
go are to the effect that a petition for
authority to issue 100000 of re-
ceiver S certificates for the completion
of the Wisconsin division Of the Chica-
go & Milwaukee Electric railway will
be presented to Judge Grosscup by the
receivers Of the line in two or three
days.
Attorney Howard M. Carter, repre-
senting the receivers, has made the an
nouncement that the affairs of the COM
pany are now in such shape as to place
the matter in the hands Of the court.
A public hearing will be held probably
the first Of next week, though so far as
is known the plan to complete the line
has no opponents.
Supplementing the contemplated &C
tion of the receivers, it is announced
chat the holders OF bonds representing
over $5,000,000 of the $10,000,000 issue
of the Wisconsin corporation have made
deposits of their securities with the
bondholders' committee, agreeing to the
certificate issue.
Farmers along the line of the road
between here and Milwaukee are great
ly interested in the outcome of the
trouble of the road. They are in hopes
that the road can be finished before
next winter.
It is admitted that large salaried Of
fcials of the company are being re-
tired, and that cheaper men will be
hired to conduct the affairs Of the com
pany.
At Milwaukee the people are consid~
erahly worked up over the contradic-
tory reports that have been sent out,
because Of the viaduct building in that
city depending upon the final decision
Of the Chicago & Milwaukee road to 60
ahead this year.

KENosHA MEN PAIL FINES
Men Arrested in Racine For Violating
Anti Splitting Ordinance

Three Kenosha men were the first to

sha. The following are the provisions
of the ordinance.
It is unlawful for a person to pur-

The mayor is authorized to issue IL
censes to persons of good character and
reputation.
An applicant for license is required

A person so licensed may sell or loan
his weapon only to another licensed per-
son and shall within tWenty-four hours
report all details Of the transaction to
IIG superintendent OI pCIICG.
An owners license may be revoked
by the mayor whenever satisfied the
regulations have been violated.
In case an owner becomes a person of
bad reputation or is indicted or con-
victed of crime the mayor is directed
to revoke his license and not to restore
it inside of two years.
1t is unlawful to sell, loan, or give
away weapons to minors.
In addition to the revocation of IL

punishable by fine not to exceed 5000
for each offonse and every day of vio-
lation constitutes separate offense.

NO FREE SERVICE
Commission Holds Telephone Companies
Must Not Discriminate in Rates

AS 81 result of conference between
the railroad commission and representa-
tives of the telephone companies Of the
state yesterday, all free telephone SER
vice will soon cease. The commission
announced that it would make CLASH
fication whereby it would be necessary
for every subscriber to s. telephone
company to pay. This will cut out all
free service to public officials, munich
palities, ministers, charitable institu-
lions, social and fraternal clubs, and to
officers, stockholders and employees Of
telephone companies.
The confer ence was attended by about
$50 telephone men.
Alonzo Burt, H. O. Seymour and At
torney Mack explained how the inequal-
ties in rates and differences in classified
lions OF service had grown up, and how
the general tendency of the big com
panies was to readjust their methods
and rates so as to bring them clearly
within the provisions of the general
utilities law. The Wisconsin Telephone
company it developed at the hearing,
has readjusted it's affairs so that it can
easily comply with any reasonable or
der that may be promulgated by the
commission This will be much more
difficult with the smaller companies in
the state.
The biggest problem confronting the
, commission seems to be that of making
classification of service that will be
satisfactory to both the companies and
their patrons. Many of the rural com
panies have no just basis for their rates.
/ Some subscribers are heavily taxed,
while others get largely reduced rates,
and some stockholders get practically
!, free service. It developed at the hear
ing. that the determinations among pat
rons Of rural telephones were consid-
erably greater than generally supposed.
The commission viii probably not be
able to make report on the conference
and Issue orders regarding classifcations
Of service and other questions involved
in the regulation of telephone compan-
les for several weeks.

CRETELLO DISCHARGED
Man Alleged to Have Tnte1fered With
Work Of Election Board Released

Man Alleged to Have Inte1fered With
Work Of Election Board Released
Ancello Cretello, the man arrested at
the Third ward polling place at the
order of Mayor German on Tuesday
evening on a charge of having inter-
fered with the work of the election
board was discharged in Justice Dona-
hue court this morning, the District
Attorney holding that the evidence
against him was not sufficient to war
rant a prosecution. Mayor German
stated that there would be further
prosecution of the man, but the dis
trict attorney said later that he did not
think the charge against Cretello could
be sustained in court.
The Mayor insists that he did not
personally assault the man and that all
he did was to order the proper officials
to arrest him. The matter has been
placed in the hands of Attorney Ran.
dali by former Alderman Alleman who
acted in defense of Cretello and it is
possible that the matter may be taken
into the courts by the Italian.

WAY FREIGHT LEAVES TRACK
Engine and Two Cars Are Piled in
Ditch at Truesd&le

AS the result of an open switch at
Truesdale, Thursday, way freight No.
9 on the Chicago, Milwaukee and St
Paul railroad, was delayed for two
hours and its engine and two freight
cars were piled in a ditch.
No one was injured and the miracu.
lous escape of the fremen and engineer
can be accredited to the fact that the
train was moving slowly at the time.
When the accident happened the
train was not moving mere than six
miles an hour. A wrecking car was
sent down from Milwaukee in record
time and the tracks cleared SO that the
last morning passenger was delayed but
few minutes.

Business Men Considering Plan
To Continue Work Started
To Aid Political Game
WOULD GET PRIVATE FUND
Proposed to Have Regular Agreement
Among Business Men a Fund
to Keep Streets Clean
Ali the Time

The business men of the city are learn
ing something from the spasmotic street
cleaning that has been going on for the
past week and it is probable that
strong organization will be formed
among the business men on Main street
to make an effort to keep the street
clean by private expense. 1t is admit
ted that it will be impossible for the
city to keep up the expense Of cleaning
Main street as the work has been done
in the past ten days. The fearful cost
Of street work during the past year has
about been all that the traffic would
stand and it is certain that after the
election is over the streets will become
Uttered up and there is no reason to
believe that such united effort for
cleanliness will be made until the next
primary election.
The business men have been discus
sing the matter for several days and
they seem to be of the opinion that the
work could be done with small cost
to each Of them. It is figured that it
would cost about ten dollars week to
keep a block of pavement in perfect
condition and the plan proposed is to
levy IN assessment Of fifty cents on
people using the corner buildings and
twenty-five cents a week Oh those who
have the interior stores. This same
plan has been adopted in other cities
and it is said that it has proved a very
successful one. The merchants in some
cities claim that they save hundreds Of
dollars annually by keeping the streets
in front of their places in clearly con-
dition.
In Kenosha in the summer time much
is lost on account of the dust and dirt
of the street getting into the stores and
damaging costly products
1t is expected that the city would be
willing to furnish a team to haul away
the dirt from the streets after it has been
swept up by the men employed by the
merchants and it is also expected that
the street will be kept properly sprin-
killed., The Main street business men be-
Heve that if they would give this plan
a thorough trial it might lead to the
adoption of the same plan by the mer-
chants of other paved streets in the city.
The people on Milwaukee avenue and
on Prairie avenue have tried this plan
in the past and they find that it is pos
sible to keep the streets in good CON
dition with small amount of work
each day. On Milwaukee avenue the
plan has been followed by some of the
property owners for nearly two years
and there is little doubt but that they
will continue it when the spring and
summer dust begins to fly again.
This is a plan that has been agitated
by the Kenosha Outdoor Art Associa-
ton and it has met with a good deal of
support.
The plans are now being laid for call
ing meeting of all the Main street
business men to take some definite ac-
ton in regard to carrying out the plan.

NO MORE BONDS
Attorneys for Gillotti Announce That
They Will Not Seek His Release

(From Thursdays Daily.)
Charles Gillotti and Emanuel Capped.
10 must remain in the county jail until
after the Supreme Court Of the state
has decided the appeal from the decision
Of the lower court in regard to new
trial for the two men as the attorneys
for the Italians this morning notified
Judge Belden that they would make no
further effort to get bond for Gillotti
and his companion. In the past two
weeks several bonds have heen prepar-
ed, but none of them has been salts
factory to the court. 1t is not thought
that the Supreme Court will take up the
appeal until some time next month and
if it is against the Italians the men will
simply have lost the two months of
service. While sent to prison for four
years their sentence will not begin until
after they are received at the prison.
