TAKEN TO OSHKOSH
Morris Kriter Well Known Here Charg-
ed With Defrauding an Inn Keeper

Morris Kriter, a man we'll known
about Kenosha, was arrested on Tues
day afternoon by Chief of Police
O'Hare and this morning he was taken
to Oshkosh by Sheriff J. H. Rhymer of
Ninnebago county to answer a charge
of defrauding an inn keeper. Kriter
was formerly resident of Oshkosh and
the complaint on which he was arrested
alleges that he left that city without
paying board bill to the amount of
$50. Kriter, who has been living in
Kenosha for the past six months and
who has seemed to be pretty well sup
piled with money, declares that there is
to the charges against him and
that he paid every cent due before he
left Oshkosh. The hearing of the case
will be held in Oshkosh tomorrow morn

The insurance companies can have
no objection to paying money into the

of men worn out in the service of the

orphans of the fremen killed on duty

with reason to being taxed to make

the old volunteer companies who now
DO little or no work in return for the
money. The volunteer companies have
a, perfect right to keep up their organi-
cations if they have any sentiment in
the matter, but it does not look right
for them to hang on to premiums paid
by the insurance companies when they
render no service in return.

SCHLEYER TELLS ALL
Defendant ..in Attempted Murder
.oa Case Again Recites Story Of !.
81. Domestic Unhappiness
STORY LOSES IN THE TELLING


! Martin Schleyer for the second time
in a1year told the story of his unhappy
married life to jury in the Circuit
Court today and it must be admitted
that the story was not SO impressive
-as it was when he told it first. How
ever, there were times when Schleyer
wept copiously and the jury was visibly
affected by some portions of the story.
iSchleyer did not hurry with his story
but at that his direct examination last
ed only couple of hours. He was
given vigorous cross examination by
the district attorney, but he held to
his original story pretty well. The dis
'trict attorney had the notes of the pre-
Vious examination of Schlever to go
by and these aided materially in bring
ing out the. story. This afternoon the
jurors will be given a chance to listen
to the sensational letters produced on
the former trial and it is. expected that
they will be made part of the evil
dence.
Neither Mrs. Schleyer nor Herman
Koehler, whom Schleyer is alleged to
have shot, were in court during the
morning session of the case and they
seemed to be taking little interest in
the trial. It is certain that Koehler
will be witness for the state after
the trial Of the insanity issue and Mrs.
Schleyer may be called. The defense
claims that the evidence of Mrs. Schley.
er aided materially in securing the
acquittal Of Schleyer on the former
trial and it is possible that she will be
called as a witness by the defense if
not called by the state. The hangers
on about the court room are not tax
ing the interest in this case shown in
the former trial Of Schleyer and this
lack of interest is even apparent in
the defendant himself. The only PEG
pie who seem to be taking the great
interest in the case are the attorneys.
Tt is thought that the testimony of
Schleyer will be concluded early this
afternoon and as he leaves the stand
several of his fellow workmen will be
called to testify to his actions just pre-
vious to the shooting The attorneys
hope to have the case submitted to the
jury on Thursday evening in order that
they may return verdict before the
opening Of the new year. a

All ordinary means of communica-
ton having been destroyed the reports
of the losses in the great earthquake
in Sicily and Southern Italy are neces-
sarily meagre and incomplete-it will
be weeks before any accurate estimate
of the loss in life and property can be
made-but everything seems to indi-
cate that the disaster was the greatest
in history. With the San Francisco
earthquake fresh in the memory the
sympathy of all Americans will go out
to the stricken people of Italy and
should the Italian government appeal
for help in this crisis that sympathy
will take concrete form in the shape
of a prompt and generous response. In
this connection it should be borne in
mind that in cases of this kind he gives
twice who gives promptly. The first
relief will do more good than that
which comes later for if the destruction
is any where near as complete as pres
emit dispatches indicate the people of
the stricken districts must have help
at once or they will be past all help.
All contribution from this country will
probably be distributed by the agents
of the Catholic church or the Red Cross
society and that is sufficient guarantee
shat All the money raised will be wise
ly used solely for the benefit Of those
for whom it is given. Those who had
friends and relatives in San Francisco
at the time Of the earthquake when
communication was established almost
Immediately, can best appreciate the
narrowing. burden of suspense that the
Kenosha Italians who came from the
devastated districts must bear until
they can ascertain the fate Of those
near and dear to them. Many of them
came from the provinces that were laid
waste and the uncertainty that, is more
wearing than even the knowledge OF
the worst is theirs. It is believed thai
few Americans were caught in the
earthquake. This is not the tourist
season in Southern Italy and many Of
the contributions that will be made tt
the relief fund, should one be called
for, will be in the nature of thank Of
ferings that the disaster did not come

American Wireless Telegraph Co.
TO Establish Station Here
During Coming Year
CONNECT WISCONSIN CITIES
Kenosha Station to be One of $50
Ordered Put in for Territory in
the Middle West-Compe-
tition in kilograms

Kenosha is to have a new means of
rapid communication with the outside
world before the close Of the year
which opens at midnight Thursday
night as the United States Wireless
Telegraph company announces that
with the beginning of the new year
the company will begin the work of
installing 250 new stations for the com
panles in cities west of Buffalo, New
York and east of the Mississippi river.
The Wisconsin cities in which the sta
tons are to be erected include, Beloit,
GAINESVILLE, Madison, Portage, Lacrosse,
Kenosha, Racine, Milwaukee, Fond du
Lac, Oshkosh, Appleton, Manitowoc,
Green Bay, Marinette, Grand Rapids,
Wausau, Eau Claire, Chippewa Falls,
Ashland and Superior.
1t is claimed that the work of in
stalling this Wisconsin circuit of sta
tions will be started early in April and
that they will be operation by late in
the summer. These stations will be
part of the thousands Of stations now
operated by the company and they will
offer wireless service to every part of
the United States east of the Missis-
sippi river.
AS rapidly as these stations can be
put in they will be put in operation
with the stations now established. The
stations will handle commercial mes
sages and press matter and will com
pete with the old telegraph companies
in every line Of business.
This is the largest order ever placed
for wireless apparatus, and to manu-
facture erect and put the stations into
operation, will require an expenditure
exceeding 100000. The majority of
the. stations will be of only one or two
XIV. capacity. with a range of from
100 to 300 miles, but some, which are
intended for long distance service will
be of from to 20 XIV. to transmit
wireless messages, under all conditions
of weather, for range Of from 500 to-
1900 miles overland and from 1000 to
5000 miles over the water.
The United Wireless Telegraph com
pany's manufacturing department. en-
bracing three complete factories, two
of which are located in Jersey City,
N. j., and the other in Seattle, Wash,
have a combined capacity of over
ST 100000 worth of wireless apparatus
per year The larger part of the en-
tire output of these factories has here
tofore been needed in filing orders from
various governments and for the
United Company's Marine Department.
It is probable, however, that with an
extension of this factory equipment,
which will be made in the near future,
the $50 sets will be completed and the
new stations be ready for operation
in 1909.
The Operating Department of the
company is now organizing it's forces
to begin the selection of locations for
these new stations. Contracts and
leases will be entered into and the ad-
vance work completed, ready for the
installation of the apparatus, as rapidly
as suitable sites can be secured and
satisfactory arrangements made.

CLAIM ROAD UNNECESSARY
Attorneys for Frost Company Looking
Carefully Into Plan to Parallel
Road Between Kenosha els
and Waukegan

The Chicago, Kenosha and MilWau-
kee Electric Railway company may
strike snag before the Wisconsin
State Railroad Commission gives per
mission for the building of the new
line as it is said that attorneys repre-
senting the receivers Of the Chicago
and Milwaukee, Electric Railway com
pany may appear before the State Rail
road Commission and make a strong
protest against the granting of certi-
ficate Of necessity and convenience
for the new line. The officials of the
company have as yet receiVedano reply
from the application filed with the
Wisconsin Commission and it is thought
that nothing will be done by the Com
mission until other companies interest
ed have chance to be heard. Il The line
that is asked for will run parallel to the
Frost line and just mile will separate
the rights of way of the two roads
It is claimed by the receivers. for the
Frost line that the building of new
road in this territory wouldr greatly
damage their business and that it
would not furnish any better railway
service for the people residing in the
territory passed through. A. &C. Frost
has made fight against every forward
step made by the officials of the Chi
cago, Kenosha and Milwaukee road and
for long time the efforts of the com
pany to get straight right of way
through Kenosha were blocked by the
Kenosha Electric Railway company
which holds lease on piece of prop
erty now used as a. car barn which is in.
the very center of the route the new.
company has planned today out
through Kenosha. The courts. heard
the argument of the two companies, in
regard to this piece of property and
Frost lost in the Circuit Court and the
new company was given the right to.
condemn. The case was appealed ito
the Supreme Court, but when it was
called for hearing the attorneys for
Frost failed to appear and the Supreme
Court dismissed the appeal. sy Y9,-
The activity in regard to this line
has been renewed all along the line
and the agents of the company are
actively working for right Of way, not
only in Waukegan and cities south of
KenQsha, but even in Milwaukee. It
was announced last Friday that agents
of the. company would be in Kenosha
last Monday morning seeking options
for right of way, but it is stated that
these men can not begin the work un-
til after the Railroad Commission has
acted on the petition for the license for
the company, but that they are ready
to start work just as soon, as this, is
issued. Property owners in Kenosha
owning property along the Proposed
route of the new line have been get
ting together since the announcement
that the compay would condemn. and it
is certain that they will be ready to
go into court if necessary to get the
equitable value for their property.
Some of them, however, seem to be
favorable to saving court costs if they
can get a reasonable settlement with,
the company for the actual land taken.
