WANT NEW CONTRACTS
Railways Want Better Provisions Made
for Hauling United States Mails

The general mail agents of railroads
representing more than one-fourth of
the railway mileage of the country,
have presented a memorandum to the
postmaster-g general asking his official
Endorsement Of proposed important
changes in the railway mail service
Among the changes asked of congress
are:
First, Specific payment for the post
offices which are furnished, main
tanned and operated in railway cars, an
extra transportation facility.
Second, Provision for annual weigh
ing of the mails and annual adjust
ment Of pay.
The memorandum says that the i'm
preston existing in many quarters that
the railways are extravagantly paid for
carrying mail is erroneous, and reports
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion are cited to show that only one
fifth Of gross operating revenue is de-
rived from such a source A report of
increased earnings is given for the
years 1906 and 1907 to show that the
increased postal earnings are small in
comparison. The freight increase in
two years is shown to be 1888, 265, 343
while the postal increase amounts to
$4,952,839.
"With the tremendous growth in pos
tai revenue,' the memorandum says,
"there would be a natural increase in
the cost of carrying the mail, consider
ing that the railway mileage has
grown from 63,457 miles in 1873 to
207,237 miles in 1907; yet the proper
ton Of postal revenue expended for
carrying mail on railroads is practical
ly the same, and during the last six
years has decreased $3.50 per cent.
while other forms Of mail transporta-
tion have increased"
Representatives of the following rail
way lines, it is understood, favor action
by the postmaster general: Missouri
Pacific, st. Louis, Iron Mountain and
Southern; Texas and Pacific, Denver
and Rio Grande, International and
Great Northern, Cotton Belt, Santa Fe,
Missouri, Kansas and Texas; Rock Is
land; st. Louis and San Francisco
Chicago and Eastern Illinois; Wabash
and Wheeling & Lake Erie.

PASSES $1,000 MARK
Committee Collecting Funds for
Relief of Stricken Italians
Held Meeting Sunday
WORK TO END NEXT SATURDAY

A meeting Of the committee in charge
Of the collection Of funds for the re-
lief of stricken Italy was held at the
Parish house of the Holy Rosary church
on Sunday afternoon and the report Of
the various members of the committee
shows total of $255.35. This sum has
been forwarded to the Italian consul
in Milwaukee and through him to the
Red Cross organization in charge of the
relief Of the suffering. The fund rails
thousand dollar mark as the total
collected in the Evening News fund
now amounts to $776.80, bringing the
grand total for both up to $1032.15.
The work of collecting by the ladies
committee under the supervision of G.
Guattari will be continued until Wed
nesday evening and it is expected that
this part of the work will be closed
up at that time. The managers of all
of the factories in the city have grant
ed permission to have the members
make a canvass in the factories and
this work is to be closed by Saturday
night 1t is thought that the factory
men will give very literally to the
fund and the funds to be collected to-
gether with the amount realized from
the band concert on Saturday night it
is hoped will bring the total from
Kenosha up to nearly $1,000. The
only contribution received today for
the Evening News fund was from
the Jewish Congregation Bnie Zedek
which was 500 as part Of the proceeds
of the recent charity ball given under
the auspices of the congregation.
An effort is being made to have the
theatres in the city unite for benefit
performance some time during the week
probably on next Friday evening and it
is expected that this will prove a great
money getter for the fund Several of
the theatre managers have already Civ
en- assurance Of their support to this
plan. Kenosha is doing nobly in the
work of raising funds for the stricken
people Of Italy and ner contribution
will certainly be proportionately as
large as that given by any city in Wis
consin. Father Augustine Bandizzone
is in charge Of all the funds collected
by the committee and he is keeping
a list OF the contributions at his house
for the examination Of any one inter
ested in the raising of the fund.

FELL FROM A CAR

Leo Krause, residing at the Garfield
House, was badly injured in a fall from
a street car at the corner of Market and
Maple streets just after eight O'Clock
Sunday evening. The man started to
jump off the car and was thrown
heavily on the frozen street. It was
thought that he was very seriously in
jured at the time and the police am
bulance was called and he was removed
to the Kenosha. Hospital. An examina-
ton showed that no bones had been
broken. DR.. Jorgenson was called to
attend the injured man. Krause suf-
fered terribly from severe bruises and
he will probably be laid up for several
days as result Of the injury

cage for the regulation of the milk
supply and declared that the officials
We're working together with the big
milk dealers. He haa a lot of things
to say about the way the farmer was
always getting the worst of it and de
clared that the present plan of Union
was the only solution He stated that
the proposed Union was to be connected
with the Trade Council of the city of
Chicago and that with its organization
the Union farmer would have the same
protection as was accorded to any other
man who belonged to a trade union.
He declared that the Union would aid
the farmers in getting better prices
not only for the milk, but for ali other
farm products sent to the large cities.
He declared that the farmers had
been deliberately swindled year after
year while the city men who handled
their business for them reaped a golden
harvest.
There were lot of impromptu
speeches from representatives of the
various towns and while some of these
men took exception to the statements
made by Ames all of them expressed
a willingness to unite with the Union.
One of the most enthusiastic of the
Union men declared at the close of the
meeting that before the general meet
ing was held in Chicago a round thous-
and of Kenosha county farmers would
be enrolled. There seemed to be some
doubt among the men present at the
meeting if the farmers would stick to
the Union, but it is declared that the
Union will look after this feature and
make it to their advantage to stick.

GOLD THIEF TAKEN
Man Who is Alleged to Have Robbed
Dental Offices Here Taken in Elgin

Edwin c. Williams, a man who is
alleged to have robbed lot. of dental
offices in Kenosha and other cities in
illinois and Wisconsin, has been ar
rested and is now in Jail at Elgin, III.
The man was taken after an exciting
chase. It is claimed that the Illinois
officials have a strong case against the
man, but should he have a chance to
escape it is probable that he will be
brought to Kenosha and an effort made
to have him identified. The man IL is
claimed has been working his scheme
Of robbing dental offices for the past
four years and that it has proved de-
cidedly profitable. The last office to
be entered in Kenosha was that of DR..
w II, Carson. At that time a good
description Of the thief was secured
and it is thought that Williams is the
man.

AFTER MEAT THIEVES
Strange Robbery of Cars Loaded With
Meat Furnishes Mystery for Police

Meat Furnishes Mystery for Police
Continued thefts of small amounts of
fresh meat from Swift cars out of Chi
cago during the night bound for Keno
sha, and Waukegan are the despair of
the company officials and the police of
the two cities.
Traps set to catch the thieves have
thus far failed and the matter has just
about been given up in despair.
The meat disappears in just about the
quantity that would make one or two
meals. Packages are split open or
boxes smashed and generally a loin of
pork or some such piece is taken.
Cars that arrive in Waukegan and
Kenosha sealed are opened by the
proper representatives Of the company
only to discover that small and hard
ly valuable piece of meat has disap-
peared in almost every instance.
The other night a trap was set,
company employees riding in mail car,
next the meat car, but that night the
meat was gone also. The indications
are that the thefts are committed by
clever gang in Chicago, members of
which unseal the cars, take what they
want and then seal them again. This is a
penitentiary offense and Chicago Of
icers have now been asked to take up
the chase for the thieves.
The thefts are especially annoying in
Kenosha where they have been of long
er duration than at other points and
have Melted the thieves more.

Kenosha People To Protest With
Railroad Commission Against
Telephone Rates in County
CLAIM RATES DISCRIMINATE
People Living in the City Believe That
the Farmers Should Pay the Same
Rates as the People Using
Phones in the City

Kenosha people are planning to file
a protest with the State Railroad Com
mission on account of discriminatory
rates for telephone service which are
said to be in use in Kenosha county
for while these rates have been in
effect since the formation Of the Com
mission no attempt has been made on
the part OF the members of the 0om-
mission to take up the matter and
make proper adjustment Of rates.
The main complaint is on the rates
between people having phones on the
lines Of the Bristol Telephone company
and the city Of Kenosha. It is stated
that the rate from Kenosha to any of
these phones is placed at twenty cents
while the people residing along the
Bristol lines telephone to Kenosha at
a rate Of ten cents. This manifestly
! unjust rate has been in operation for
several years. At the office Of the
Kenosha Home Telephone company
this morning it was stated that the
rate from Kenosha to Bristol was ten
cents and that the added ten cents was
collected by the Bristol company for
| the connection on the lines Of that
company. At the local office it was
stated that the rate from any place on
the Bristol lines to Kenosha was ten
cents, This discriminating rate is a
part Of the old fight for the possession
of the Bristol line which was inaugu-
rated years ago by the Wisconsin Tele-
phone company and the Citizens Tele-
| phone Co., and when the original con
nection was made between the lines of
the Citizens company and the Bristol
company the discriminatory rate was
established At that time the charge
from city to county was ten cents and
the rural phone users had free service
over the lines of the city.
1t is claimed that there is SINH.
lar discrimination in rates between
Kenosha and other lines in the county
outside of the control Of the Bristol
company,
The complaint is being made today
on connections going through Union
Grove to places in the town of Paris
it being claimed that the rate from
here to these places was twenty-f
cents while the rate from Paris tC
Kenosha was but fifteen cents. This
is denied at the local office where il
is stated that there is no difference il
the in and out rates. All Of these
rates have been established by con
tracts between the companies and i
is claimed that the Railroad Commits
sion will have hard matter to ad
just the rates. However, the members
of the commission are to be Informed
of the existing conditions and this viii
give a cnance for the fullest posi- blt
investigations of the rates. On thu
face of the rates it would appear clearly
that the rates are discriminating an(
therefore illegal under the ruling 0:
the Commission. In many parts Of thu
state the Commission has taken up thu
question of telephone rates and ha
forced the companies to do away will
all rates similar to those now in exis
tence between Bristol and make a fla
rate for all connections. This rat,
would undoubtedly be placed at al
average price.

GETS OUT ON BAIL
Will Marry Accuser When Latter Sc
cures Divorce From Husband

VIII marry AccuSer Wnen Latter Sc
cures a Divorce From Husband
Joseph Wadopol, who was arrested
several weeks ago on a very serious
statutory charge preferred by Mrs. An
ma Kromal, was released from jail this
morning on bond of 5000 and it is
understood that the case will not come
up for a. hearing. Mrs. Kromal, who
made. the complaint against the man,
has husband but he has not been
seen for eight years and it is said that
the wife will apply for divorce and
that the action in court will be set
tied up by the marriage of Mrs. Kro-
NAL and Wadopol. This course seems
to be entirely satisfactory TO the prose
cutting officials.
