FOR BETTER SERVICE
Towns Along the New Interurbao
Line Want Limited Trains
To Stop There
MAY ENFORCE ORDINANCES

Cities and suburbs along the north
shore between Milwaukee and Chicago
are complaining of the limited train
service they are now receiving be-
tween Evanston and Milwaukee on the
Chicago & Milwaukee electric line
The road, in order to make the fast
running time of two hours and fifteen
minutes between Second street and
Grand avenue, Milwaukee, and the
Northwestern elevated station at Evans
ton, has been having trains stop only at
Highland Park, Lake Forest, Wauke-
of Importance along the line, including
Wilmette, Winnetka, Glencoe and High
wood, have resented this fancied slight
on their Importance and have been try
ing by various means to stop the trains
at their stations.
Several of the towns are now enforc-
ing their ordinances, which compel the
motorman to stop their trains at least
once within the village limits. Where
this has been done the limited train
comes to stand, but the conductor
does not open the DOORS The motorman
at once turns on the power and the
cars whlsk away.
Now the Wilmette, Winnetka and
Glencoe passengers for Milwaukee must
go to Highland Park before they can
get onto the through trains.
The management of the line objects
to making additional stops because the
schedule on which the trains run is a
swift one under the fewest possible in
terruptions. 1t is pointed out that
there are only four through trains each
way, or eight in all, out of some sixty
which leave Evanston and Milwaukee
during the day.

READY FOR SEASON
Manager Breen of kenosha Base
Ball Team Names Lineup
of Team for New Season
MANY NEW MEN ON TEAM

Manager PeteA Breen of the Lake
Shore League team this morning an
nounced the lineup of the Kenosha
team for the coming season and the
members of the team will report for
work during the present week and if
the weather is in any way favorable
the season will be opened with a. game
with the Union Giants at Artesian Park,
Chicago, on next Sunday. This will be
the first game of the season in Chicago
and it is expected that it will draw
a great crowd Of people. The schedule
for the league has not as yet been
adopted, but it will probably be ready
within another week and the season is
booked to open late in April.
Manager Breen has brought together
strong aggregation of players for the
season, but there will be many new
faces on the Kenosha team. Joe Pulse,
Of Waukegan, is signed to pitch for the
team and Smith, the former Kenosha
pitcher, is signed as an extra man.
Pulse has been working for the past
three weeks and is already in condition
to play. Wallace, one of the old men,
will be behind the bat again this sea-
son. Charles Klose, who is well known
to the fans on account Of the work
that he has done against the Kenosha
team in past seasons, will cover the
initial bag and Lang, the old reliable,
will be on second base. Ray Pulse of
Waukegan, a brother of the pitcher and
himself a pitcher of no small ability,
has been signed to play short stop for
the Kenosha bunch. Pulse is hard
hitter and very careful fielder. AL
Collins, who proved one Of the most
popular members of the Kenosha team
last season, will be back on third base
again this eason. Collins has been Of
fered several places in the big leagues,
but he is willing to stick to Kenosha.
With the exception Of Lynch, who made
good last season, the outfelders are
new men. George Stellman, who is to
play in the left garden, played with
the Chicago Gunthers last season and
Dave Convey "a heavy hitter from the
Coast League, is signed to play center
field.
Manager Breen declares that the
team this year will be hard hitting
team and he has conceded a lot in other
lines in order to get hold Of the hitters.
The team is one Of the highest salaried
teams in Wisconsin and will compare
favorably with any team in the Lake
Shore League. The men will play to-
gether for full month before the reg
ular season opens and they should be
in excellent shape by that time.

Emil Ney. Who Worked a Few
Days in Kenosha, Killed by
a Train at Zion City
JUMPED FROM BLIND BAGGAGE
Dead Man With a Companion had
Started to Beat Their Way
From Kenosha to Chicago
Body Terribly Mangled

Emil Ney, a Chicago man, who had
been working in Kenosha for the past
few days, was instantly killed by
train at>Zion City on Wednesday. Ney
with companion, Harry Wild, were
riding on blind baggage car just be-
fore the accident occurred and Ney
jumped from the platform of the car
directly in front of north bound
train and his remains were terribly
mangled. The two boys had been
friends for years and they had come
to Kenosha from Chicago the latter
part of last week and had secured
work at one Of the Kenosha factories.
The two boys had been accustomed to
lead a rowing life and after couple
of days work they got tired of their
jobs in Kenosha and decided to take
a train for Chicago. Being out of
money they jumped blind baggage
car Wednesday morning.
Their presence on the train was dis
covered by brakeman and they were
ordered to leave the train at the first
stop. The train slowed down just af-
ter it passed Winthrop Harbor and Ney
gave jump off the platform. Wild
was about to follow him when the
north bound train running at terri
fc rate, of speed dashed past. The
train had not stopped at Zion City and
it was running at a speed of more
than forty miles an hour. Ney was
directly in the center of the track
when the tram hit him and the body
was thrown high in the air and into
the ditch at the side of the road.
Nearly every bone in the boys body
was broken. Wild at once ran to the
other cars of the train and notified the
crew of what had happened and they
assisted in picking up the remains of
the dead man and he was placed in
the station at Zion City. AS the acct
dent occurred south of the state line
the coroner from Waukegan was called
to hold an inquest over the remains.
The local agents Of the company were
notified of the killing Of Ney late
Wednesday afternoon and steps were
at once taken to find the relatives of
the man. 1t is said that he has rela-
tives living in Chicago. Wild stayed
in Zion City with the remains and they
will be held there pending further
investigation The inquest, which will
be held this evening, will probably re-
suit in verdict of accidental death.
Ney was twenty years of age and a
native of France.

STATE SENATE SORE
Members of Investigating Committee
Would Continue Stephenson Probe

Members of Investigating Committee
Would Continue Stephenson Probe
After consuming nearly whole day
with a seemingly proftless examina-
ton of ex-senator D. Riordan of Eagle
River, the senatorial Investigating
committee Thursday got itself embroil-
ed in an acrimonious debate which
lasted for nearly two hours. The
scrap was over the propriety of dis
continuing the Stephenson investiga-
, tion, although most of the speeches
were made to motion by Assembly
man Bray that W. w. Powell, former
Hatton worker, be called to the stand.
The upshot Of the whole matter was
that Powell was agreed upon as the
next witness, the three senate members
voting against calling him.
On representations by Senators Nor
ris and Marsh, however, it was agreed
that State Game Warden Stone might
be allowed to finish his testimony as
there are at least three Of his deputies
who wish to refute his statement that
he had paid them Stephenson money.
These three also probably will be
heard by the committee.
A resolution was introduced in the
senate calling for the appointment of
committee of three to finish the ex-
animation Of Stephenson witnesses
with regard to the campaign and also
as to Stephenson election as United
States senator in joint assembly.
Mr. Riordan accounted for the
spending of $4,000 in several counties
on behalf Of Stephenson and stated
that 81 800 of the amount was used
in travelling expenses.
w w. Powell, a newspaper man and
a Hatton worker, occupied the stand
Thursday afternoon. He received $35
per week salary and expenses for work
around the state and was paid about
$1,000 in ALL He did not tell any one
that Hatton was LaFollette' IS choice,
but told number of people that he
ought to be-
Mr.. Powell said Stephenson offered
him an increase in salary if he would
work on his Milwaukee newspaper.
Asked if he thought the money spent
by Stephenson had anything to do
with his election, the witness answer
ed:
tThat was his sole asset. -

LET ROSE Go
Man Taken on Charge Of Sending I'm
proper Letters Not Held by Police

Joseph Rose, the italian taken into
custody on Wednesday by Assistant
Chief Of Police Newhouse on a charge
of sending an improper letter to Mrs.
Jennie Gallo Rose through the post Of
fee, was released from custody on Wed
nesday night, the police having no
order from the government officials to
hold him. The matter has been placed
in the hands of the government authori
ties at Milwaukee and it is certain that
it will be an easy matter for them to
get Rose if they decide that he has
violated any Of the postal regulations.
Some of the italians we're very wrathy
because Rose was discharged, but the
officials are convinced that it will be
an easy matter to get him if the gov
eminent officials decide to prosecute
him.

WILL MAKE PROTEST
Milk Men in Many Wisconsin
Counties Oppose Tubefculo-
sis Test Among Cattle
WILL MEET AT WAUKESHA

Threats of the dairy interests in Ke
nosha, Racine, Milwaukee, .Waukesha,
Walworth and adjoining counties, to
fight the enforcement of the tubercu-
lin test for cattle supplying the sew
eral cities with milk, were accentuated
Wednesday, when G. @. Adams, secre-
tary of the Waukesha Dairymen s as
sociation issued a call for a mass
meeting in Milwaukee Saturday. At
the same time he announced that At
torneys Ryan & Merton, Waukesha,
had been engaged by the association
to carry the injunctional proceedings
ito the Supreme Court.
At the same meeting to be held at
Detrick's hall, Twenty fourth street
and Lincoln avenue, Racine, the report
of the attorneys on the legality Of the
ordinance will be heard At the same
time discussion Of plans for future
action will be held by the dairy inter
ests and a campaign of action mapped
out. The tuberculin test goes into
effect on April 1, and Health Commits
sioner G. A. Bading has declared him
self for the stringent enforcement Of
every provision of the ordinance.
"The dairy industry, one of the most
important in Wisconsin, is threatened
with devastation, l. not complete eX-
termination by the wholesale slaughter
of cattle under the provisions of the
tuberculin test law" said Secretary
Adams. "The problem is assuming
large proportions, and as a. matter Of
mutual protection the dairymen have
joined hands to fight against a common
enemy.
"The1 test is opposed upon the
ground shat it is unjust and not based
upon facts. Under the present method
if an animal does not respond immedi-
ately, and react, the bovine is con
demned. In reality, there may be
nothing wrong. In my own neighbor-
hood, out of one herd of forty-fve COWS
tWenty-four were condemned, and [
have heard Of other cases, where a
similar ratio existed Under the
tubercuin test, fully so per cent of
the dairy herds Of Wisconsin will be
wiped out.
.sThe association has engaged Attor-
neys Ryan & Merton to carry on the
injunctional proceedings. The la,wy
ers already have investigated the le-
gality Of the tuberculin test law, and
will report on Saturday. They are
prepared to go ahead with the injunc-
tion immediately
