DELAY RATE CHANGE
Western R. R. Officials Decided
Not to Make Changes Until
After October LIST
CLERICAL WORK IS TOO GREAT

1t has been found by the railroad
freight officials in the Western Traffic
association that, owing to the tremen-
dous amount of clerical work required
in the readjustment Of all classes of
freight rates, it will not be possible
to have the provisions made in time to
place. the proposed advance of 10 per
cent in effect July l, as originally in
tended. The date has been postponed
to October /, next, at which time of
fcials say the changes will become
operative.
The interstate commerce commission
has not passed upon this proposed gen
eral advance and will not act until the
new schedules are filed. Then the com
mission will confirm or deny the change.
For this reason the transportation com
mittee of the Merchants and Manufact-
urers association has taken no action
with reference to the advance. There
is nothing at this time, that any associ-
alton can do, except to adopt resolutions
of protest, as already has been done in
Chicago.
In an effort to be prepared to answer
questions as to the necessity of any ad-
vance in rates a remarkable photograph
was few days ago taken at Elkhart,
Ind, which is a railroad and shop cen
! er. This picture shows a. string of loco
motives a mile in length, hitched one
to the other. There are 120 in the
string, representing in value more than
$1,OOO,O0 and all at present are idle.
The roads interested will aim to show
that at this one point, alone, there is
a emile of idle locomotives" because
of the lack of traffic. Unless they ad-
vance rates generally, officials admit,
the leading roads will be compelled to
cut down all classes Of employees fully
10 per cent in wages, or lay off many
thousands of men.

.LAUDS WAR VETERANS
Gov. Davidson in AHnual PrOCIama-
ton Urges People To Pay
Honor to Soldier Dead
WH0LESTATE TO PARTICIPATE

Officials Of the Grand Army Of the Re
public in Kenosha this morning receiv-
ed from Governor James O. Davidson
a copy Of his proclamation urging the
people of the state to join in the 0bser-
vance of Memorial Day week from
tomorrow and the proclamation will be
read at the next meeting Of the post
and at other services in connection with
the annual observance of the day of
memories Governor Davidson has re-
peatedly expressed his love for the old
soldiers and in his proclamation he again
calls the people to remember with loving
tributes the brave deeds and heroic
sacrifices Of the men who fought in the
army for the preservation of the Union.
The proclamation of the governor is as
follows:
GA feeling of gratitude to our heroic
dead, finds expression in annually dec
Grating their last resting places with
flowers, thus cherishing and revering
their memories
"The Both day Of May has been set
apart by our people to manifest a
spirit Of gratitude by placing the first
flowers of springtime upon the graves
of those who fell in defense Of our
country. This custom commends itself
to all as fitting tribute to the memory
of those whom we love to honor, and is
an incentive to the living to emulate
their example and deeds Of valor.
cit is due from us as a loyal people
ever to keep in mind, with reverential
appreciation, the sacrifices made by the
men who gave their lives that the Union
might be perpetuated. The participa-
ton in these exercises once each year,
will more than any other act, serve to
remind this generation of the awful
price, in blood and treasure, paid to in
sure national unity.
81 therefore recommend that our citi-
zens join on that day with the Grand
Army of the Republic and other organi-
cations; where they exist, in appropriate
ceremonies, and that all take some part
in the proper observance of the day.
s'In testimony whereof I have here
unto set my hand and caused the great
seal Of the state of Wisconsin to be
affixed.

Madison, this 8th day of May in the

ZION GIRL SUICIDES
Florence FerriO, Well Known in
Kenosha, Found Drowned at
Zion City on Sunday
MYSTERY ATTENDS DEATH

A young woman artist and poet who
committed suicide yesterday. The girl
was Miss Florence Ferrin, we'll known
to many Kenosha people, whose body
was found in Zion City, where she had
lived.
The body of the girl, who was only
20 years old, was found at O. clock in
the morning lying face downwards in
shallow pool of water at Twenty
ninth street, on the border of Zion
City. The water was barely deep
enough to cover her and those who en-
terrain the idea that the girl committed
suicide by drowning say that, if she
did, she must have held her head under
the water until she drowned
Coroner Taylor Of Lake county held
an inquest and verdict of death by
drowning was returned. The coroner
said he did not think a post-mortem
necessary.
The girl had been living at home in
Zion City for several years. Her
father is Bell Ferrin of that place
Berney Ferrin, sister Of Florence, is
the Zion City girl who went to New
York to intercede with Governor
Hughes on behalf of Chester Gillette,
the murderer Of Grace Brown.
About s o'clock Saturday night the
girl went to her room. At midnight
relatives were astonished to find her
missing. A bottle of wood alcohol,
kept for household purposes, also was
gone. The smell of the alcohol per-
meated the house, but the bottle could
not be found
The Zion City police were called and
the search which resulted in the find
ing of the body was instituted. No
trace could be found of the bottle.

PUELIcHER MAY BE NAMED
Milwaukee Banker is Mentioned For
Member Of National Committee

Ever since the election of the Wis
consin delegates to the Republican ma
tlonal convention there has been con
siderable speculation as to who would
be chosen member Of the national com
mittee to succeed former. Congressman
-. w. Babcock. No word has come
officially from Senator LaFollette as
to whom he will favor, but in the
speculation the names of Alfred Rogers
of Madison and Speaker Herman L..
Ekern have figured as possible candi-
dates.
Up to yesterday Senator Stephenson,
who is one of the delegates at large,
has declined to discuss the subject. In
an interview yesterday afternoon, Mr..
Stephenson said he favored the selec-
ton OF ). H. Puelicher of Milwaukee
for the position.
"Mr. Puelicher is now and always
has been loyal supporter of Senator
LaFollette,' said Mr.. Stephenson. elm
my opinion Mr. PueIcher is well quail
fled for the place and I do not see how
any possible objection can be main
tanned against his fitness, ability and
his loyalty to the advanced political
movements that the Republicans stand
for in the state Of Wisconsin,
Mr. Puelicher was Mr. Stephenson s
chief lieutenant in his senatorial cam
paign at Madison year ago. If he
consents to become candidate for Mr.
Babcock's place it is expected an ag-
gressive campaign in his interest will
be made.
Membership on the national commit
tee is regarded as a great honor. A
member will be chosen by the Wiscon-
sin delegates to the national convention.
Mr. Puelicher is a son Of John Pue-
licher, the well known superintendent
Of the N. R. Allen Sons tannery.

HANDLERS DO WE'LL
Aancsha Automobiles Finish With Per-
Yect Scores IN Endurance Tests

AeacsEa Automobiles Finish With Per-
Iect Scores IL Endurance Tests
kilograms received from Boston and
indianapolis today tell of victories for
the Rambler automobiles in the Hart
ford endurance test and in the sealed
bonnet contest held at Indianapolis. At
Hartford two Rambler Roadsters finish
ed with perfect scores. There were
ffty-seven entries in the contest and
but sixteen finished the course with per-
feet scores. The Kenosha company had
two entries in the contest. At Indiana
polls, Ted Collier drove the Rambler
Roadster in the great sealed bonnet
contest, the big event of the year among
drivers in Indiana and it was one of
the few to come through with a perfect
score. The Kenosha machines are win
ming hOnOrs all around the circuit this
year and the proprietors of the big
plant are satisfied that the Roadster
is the best product of the Jeffrey fac
tory. The sale of the machines has
more than justified this claim as it is
said that more Rambler Roadsters are
being sold than from any other factory.

MAIL SERVICE RAPID
Postofice Clerks Find Letters Take
a Month Between Oshkosh & Kenosha

Postmaster John B. Maloney aud the
clerks in the Kenosha Postoffice are
making an effort to solve the mystery
surrounding the travels Of letter and
two postal cards which were mailed at
Oshkosh on April "a and which were
delivered to the addresses in Kenosha
on last Monday. The matter has been
taken up with the postmaster at Osh-
kosh and with the various clerks who
handled the mail along the way, but they
cannot solve the mystery. There is no
doubt of the time of the mailing and
receipt Of the letter and cards, but the
question is. "Where were the letter and
cards from the time they left Oshkosh
till they reached Kenosha?0 Post
master Maloney has given the puzzle
up and it is now being turned over to
the mail clerks for solution.

MAY PAY POSTAL ORDERS
Government to Make Ruling to Extend
the Duties of Rural Carriers

Highest development of the rural
free mail delivery is to be achieved
under new order to be issued by the
department., extending the scope of the
service to include the Payment by the
rural carrier of postofice money orders
on the routes. The order, which will
become effective within few months,
will place the patron of the rural route
on plane of equality with the city pat
ron of the mail service and afford the
farmer all the advantages of city de-
livery. Under the new order the rural
carrier will be permitted to make pay
ments to the extent of 800 and the
farmer and patron may cash his money
order without the necessity of visiting
the postoffice. The rules Of the depart
ment for some time past have allowed
the carriers to accept application
Tor money orders, which were then
brought to the circulating Office,
where the order was issued and then de-
hVered to the purchaser. There will be
no change in this ruling, but with the
new order, the carrier will be able to
pay orders which may be received by
the patron from others. It is not ex-
pected that the new order will be in
effect for some time to come, but proba-
bly, next year will see the service per
fected to this extent.
