Charles P. Taft Is NogU Looked Upon
As Certain to Succeed J. B. Foraker

That Charles P. Taft. OF Ohio. the
brother of the President-elect. is going
to be the next Senator from the
Buckeye State to succeed Joseph Ben
son Foraker is looked on now by know
ing politicians here as weIl-nigh a Ger
tainty.
Two Senatorial situations IN the
United States have in recent months
attracted the widest general notice IN
all parts OF the country. These are the
New York and the Ohio situations.
The New York situation is looked on
as practically settled, EIihu Root be-
ing destined 10 succeed Thomas c.
Platt next March. The selection Of
Mr.. Taft cannot be said to be as
nearly an accomplished fact as that Of
Mr. Root but there can be little doubt
he has been making much progress in
recent weeks. and is now far in the
lead IN the Ohio Senatorial situation.
Mr.. Taft has not formally an
nounced himself a candidate 20 succeed
Foraker, but his attitude when ne was
here last week left no doubt whatever
that ne was a candidate. Without max
ing a formal announcement, he IS IN
effect an avowed aspirant for the Of
E-- in question.
c. P. Taft Ambitious
He does not conceal that he has an
ambition for the Senate, and it IS true,
furthermore, that his friends are busily
engaged In lining up votes for him in
the Legislature. The Ohio Republican
organization Is extremely friendly to
Brother Charley" Most of the mem
bers OF that organization. and espe-
cialIy the Republican State officials
and their political Heutenants, look on
Mr. Taft as the man that ought 10 be
in the Senate. At the same time they
oppose Representative Burton
A sign Of what is likely TO occur in
the Ohio fight over the Senatorship is
seen in the attitude taken by Gorge
B. Cox. 7. has long been recognized
that Cox. as the boss Of Hamilton
county, would be I'm position of mucl
influence in controlling the Legislature,

Man VIM Stole Shoes to Amount
of $500 Taken on Evidence
Given by Chief 0'Hare
Edward Rossini Trusted Employe of
Hillman in Chicago Taken After
Great Trunks of Shoes Are
Found in Kenosha

Chief of Police Owen O Hare of Ke-
nosha covered himself with glory on
Saturday when evidence which he dis
covered in Kenosha resulted in the I'M
earthing Of a wholesale robbery of the
Hillman department store in Chicago
and the recovery of nearly $500 worth
Of stolen goods On the information
furnished by the Chief Edward Rossini
of Chicago an employee of the depart
ment store is under arrest in Chicago
charged with grand larceny.
The Kenosha chief had been inform
ell several days ago that six heavy
trunks had been stored for some time
at a house on Garden street and early
Saturday morning he went out to solve
the mystery of the stored trunks. He
discovered that they had been sent to
Kenosha six weeks ago BY Rossini who
had paid ten dollars for the privilege
Of storing the trunks in Kenosna. The
chief with this information broke into
one of the trunks and found that it
was packed with shoes There were all
/ oO1 10 VI Ol1OCO IIOul DdUy SINUS up 10
brogans for the adults and the chief
lost no time in notifying the Chicago
detective bureaus of his suspicious In
regard to the man who had stored the
trunks. Rossini was arrested Saturday
morning just as he was leaving his
home to go to work at the department
store. His brother August R0ssini was
also taken into custody.
AS soon as the men had been arrested
U. S. Brown, the manager of the big
department store hurried to Kenosha
and after looking at the booty de-
clared that it was all the property Of
the Hillman store and directed that it
| be shipped back to Chicago Rossini
after his arrest admitted that he had
been stealing shoes from the company
in a systematic manner for the past
six weeks and it is supposed that many
other trunks of shoes have been stored
in other parts of the country. Tt is
claimed in Chicago that his thefts Will
go as high as $500.
The accused man had been employed
at the department store as a shoemaker
but he had provided himself with skele-
ton keys by which he got into the
store building and carried the shoes to
his home from which they were shipped
in due time to cities in the neighbor-
hood. It is thought that Rossini and
bis brother planned to go into the shoe
business.
The discovery Of the stolen goods
opening the way for he arrest of
Rossini is one of the biggest victories
for the Kenosha police force and Chief
| 0 Hare has been congratulated by
Chief 0'Brien of Chicago for the
splendid manner in which he handled
the case Chicago detectives had been
watching Rossini and he was arrested
some time ago, but had to be released
on account of the fact that the officers
could not get evidence strong enough
to hold him. Tt is claimed that the
Kenosha man who aided the work by
storing the trunks had nothing to do
with the crime and Chicago detectives
have not asked for his arrest.

Northw stern Ry Co. Shows Its
Belief in Returning Prosper.
y Of the Country
1000 CARS NOW BEING BUILT
Company Declares that Every Bit Of
Rolling Stock Possible Will be
Needed TO Move the Bump
er Crops This Fall

0IDcals Of the Northwestern Rail
road company firmly believe that in
side OF six weeks every bit Of equip
ment and power that company pos,
sesses will be needed in transporting
to nl5Iket the abundant crops of the
" est and Northwest.
Ihs statement was made yesterday
and vas coupled with another to the
effect that the railroad is backing
UP It's opinion of a speedy return Of
ample tonnage by an order for LOCO
freight cars. The road s belief in re
turning prosperity is further evidenced
by tie lact that it's equipment has been
Kept up-to-date as to repairs throughout
Inc d pressed period of traffic.
In this respect the company has been
liEereAt from many railroads which
Lave permitted their cars and locomo-
tiEes to join the chad order" list in
the promotion of what the Northwest
ern officials believe to be false econo.
my 1t, therefore, the interstate com
merce commission is right in issuing its
warning t2 the effect that there will be
a car shortage ere long, the Northwest
ern will be in a better position than
most roads to take the full measure OF
profit from returning prosperity.
The new order for freight cars is
rot large one, but is especially signi
Ecant at this time. The order was dis
tributed between the Pullman company
the Haskell & Parker Car company and
the American Car and Foundry com
pany. Three companies were selected
50 that an early delivery could be as
sured It is understood that the com.
pany secured the lowest price on its
order that has been obtained in several
years. In this way it expects to save
considerable amount on the order.
Once before and during the last per
iod of depressed equipment prices, the
Northwestern took a similar advantage
Of the market. At that time an order
fer 5000 freight cars was placed and
by the time tonnage picked up and
other railroads were ordering cars, thf
Northwestern s order represented ST.,
100000 saved to the company.
During the entire period Of business
depression the Northwestern has main
tanned It's current repairs both or
equipment and on power. The rail
reads of the country, taken as a whole
however, have more than per cent Of
equipment which is not in a condi
ton to use.
This means that fully 100000 freight
cars are in the shops, where they
have been for some time, owing to the
fact that the shops have been closec
periodically or running under short
hours in the interest of the rigid econo
my which was put into effect when ton
mage began to fall off.

Pres. of Civic Federation Charges
Him With Leasing Building
at the Four Corners
MORE TESTIMONY TO BE TAKEN
After Several Witnesses Were ExaJnin
ed on Monday Hearing Was Adj
journed to Permit the Sum
monn1g of More Witnesses

Mayor M. J. Scholey was under the
FIRE of the Kenosha Civic Federation
Monday afternoon when III. H. Mad
deck, the president Of the Federation
filed complaint before Court Commits
sioner A. e. BuckmaSter charging the
mayor with having leased the building
Fat she Four Corners to Mrs. Rose Park
Ter Of Milwaukee. The president Of the
Federation in his complaint declares
that the mayor leased it with know
ledge that it was to be used for i'm
moral purposes.
The complaint of the president Of the
Federation was not considered suf-
fcient for the issuance Of warran;
for the arrest of the mayor and an
examination of witnesses to see wheth
e1 a warrant should be issued was held
in the office of the court Commissioners
Oh Monday afternoon. Mrs. Parker
ard many other people connected with
the resort at the Corners were examined
but the court commissioner did not
hold the evidence given by these PEG
Ile as sufficient to issue the warrant
fer the arrest Of Scholey and the hear
ling was adjourned until this afternoon
When the leaders of the Federation
| VIII bring more witnesses before the
commissioner 1t is said that a mum
Der of people from Milwaukee have
been summoned to- appear this after
noon and it is expected that some sen.
sational evidence will be brought out
Scholey in speaking Of the matter de
clared that he had no fear Of the out
come Of the case and that the facts
would entirely exonerate him of the
charges Of the Federation He stated
that he had leased the building to Mrs
Parker but that the lease had beer
drawn showing that the building was tC
be used only for saloon purposes. This
lease is now in the mayor s pocket
and with it taken into consideration
the evidence now on hand is hardly sucf
as would convince a jury as to the
guilt Of the mayor on the charge made
by Maddox.
There is considerable hard feeling
over the matter and it is pretty GER
tain that there will be something do
ing if the court commissioner decides
to issue the warrant.
Tt is certain that there will be g
great deal of side stepping to prevent
any charges of this sort being taken
into the Circuit Court. Under the law
there is no fine for this offense and II
the mayor should be found guilty under
the charges brought by the Federation
the lowest sentence that could be i'm
posed would be a jail sentence of six
months while the maximum penalty is
two years in the state prison.
The officials of the Federation de
clare that they will use every possible
means to get the desired evidence tc
secure warrant for the arrest of the
mayor.

BODY is FOUND
Supposed Remains of Jean Decent
Taken From Waters of Pike Creek

Shortly after 10 O'Clock this morn
ing the members of the life saving
crew under the command of Capt.
Fountain recovered the remains of
drowned man from the waters of Pike
Creek The remains are supposed to
be those Of Jean Decent as the dis
covery of clothes marked with this
name on the banks of the steam is
what led to the search for the body.
The search for the remains of the
drowned man has been kept up con-
tiIuously since Sunday evening by the
life saving crew and their efforts were
rewarded this morning by the dis
covery Of the body in one of the holes
in the bottom Of the creek.
The remains were clad in swimming
trunks and the man probably was over
taken by cramps while enjoying a soil
tary bath in the creek early Sunday
Although there were many people in
the vicinity all day Sunday, no one has
been found who heard any cutlery and
the swimmer must have gone down
without a struggle. The coroners in
quest is being held late this afternoon.

SYSTEM COMPLETED
Wisconsin Telephone Co. Begins Using
Underground Telephone System

The underground system of the Wis
consin Telephone company between
this city and Milwaukee is completed
and today the overhead system used
messages between this city and Mil
waukee was abandoned and all mes
sages now go through the underground
system which is as perfect as any
such system now used in the country.
The system was tested last night and
this morning and was found to be in
perfect working ordr Several Keno
sha parties held conversations with
parties in Milwaukee and while these
conversations were carried on in the
natural tone of voice as though con-
versing with some one in the same
room each word uttered was as dis
tinctly understood as though the par
ties were seated side by side.
The Wisconsin Telephone company
has invested an enormous amount of
money in building the underground
telephone system between Kenosha and
Milwaukee and the system is now com
plete between Chicago and Milwaukee,
4 right of way between these two
cities was purchased and hundreds Of
men were employed in digging trenches
IN which conduits were placed and the
underground cables were carried. This
improvement was found necessary be-
cause of the great expense incurred in
repairing wires and poles damaged by
storms and the inconvenience to which
patrons were put to in holding CONVEX
sations during rain, sleet or wind
storms. It is expected that the over
head system Of poles and wires will
now be done away with and the under
ground system used entirely.
