Lizzie entered in charge of the

so years old, and wore a much
soiled black dress. The hands
which she rested on the judges
desk were large and work-worn.

without being taken by a police
man and brought into a dirty po-
lice station.
Now, the fact that Lizzie was
a hard-working woman was well
known. But this was not the first
visit she had made to the court,
a fact which the judge pointed out
kindly but firmly. Then he re-
marked:
II think the matron can use
you for few days in her depart
ment."
He was about to write the fatal
words in the big book, and Lizzie
was between tears and pleading,
when a big, strong, masculine
voice interrupted.

The court looked up to see John

A policeman moved to eject him,

The court was In good humor.
The court liked to be known as a

There were tears in the wom-

she moved impulsively to where

istic Service in Honor Of Dead
Comrades Sunday Afternoon
ANNUAL MEMORIAL SERVICE

The opening ceremonies in connec-
ton with the annual celebration of
Memorial Day In Kenosha were held
at the Post Hail on Sunday afternoon
when large number of the members
of the Fred S. Lowell Post, gathered
to pay the annual ritualistic. tribute!
to the members of the Post who had
died during the year. The hand of
death fell on the Post members but
once during the year and the only
member to die was DR.. j. l.. Cleary.
In connection with the service of the
afternoon, the name of the dead com
rade was called and short eulogy de-
livered by the commander of the Post
in which he spoke of the military serv
ice of DR.. Clearly and his ardent work
in support of all movements for the
lettering of the conditions Of the vet
Grams, their wives and children
The annual address was delivered by
the Rev. f. S. Dimmock, pastor of the
First Baptist church. In his brief ad-
dress Mr.. Dimmock paid loyal tri-
butte to the men who fought in the
war of the rebellion and declared that
no honor was too high to bestow on
the living and that no tribute too ten
der could be paid to the memory of
the dead.
In the evening the members Of the
Post, accompanied by the members Of
the Woman s Relief Corps and the la
dies of the Grand Army of the Re
public, went in a body to st. Matthews
church where the annual Memorial SER
mon was preached by the Rev. Fred
Ingley, rector of the church. The
service was one of the most appropri-
ate services ever held in the city. Mr.
Ingley preached especially to the old
soldiers praising them for the work
they had done on the field of battle
and later in restoring the Union. He
drew from the occasion an urgent APP
peal to the men of the country for a
higher and better type of citizenship.
Special music appropriate to the ac-
casion was rendered by the choir and
by Mr.. and Mrs Howard.

State Railroad Commission Asked
To Prevent Factories Selling
Light and Power to Others
NO RIGHTSFOR THISBUSINESS
Milwaukee Department. of Public
Works Brings Out Problem of
Great Interest to Factory
Managers in Kenosha

The right of manufacturers in cities
of Wisconsin to supply light and power
to other manufacturers, residences or
public service corporations has been
called into question by complaint
fled with the State Railway Commits
sion by the Board Of Public Works of
the cityxof Milwaukee and the decision
OF the Commission will be of interest
in Kenosha on account of the fact that
number of people in this city are
securing lights for their residences
from manufacturing plants not licens-
ed by the state to seH light or power
For some time the railway company
considered plan of purchasing power
from one of the Kenosha manufacture
ing plants, @but this deal was not car
ried out. The complaint before the
Commission alleges that it is unfair
to permit the factories to act in the
capacity of a public corporation in sup
plying lights or power to people con
neeted with the plants or to people
inethe immediate neighborhood Of the
plants on account Of the fact that
these manufacturing concerns are not
directly under the public corporation
law. The Commission has already
held that the corporations engaged in
.gF
the2sale Of such utilities in Wisconsin
are entitled to the, protection Of the
state against competition from com
paniese not organized under the same
law The further complaint is made
that wires from these plants are laid
without The consent of the cities and
that there is norway to regulate such
companies.
The decision of the Commission will
be- watched with a great deal of in
tefest5bX score ,of@people in,the city
Of .Kenosha. The, factories Tin ques-
tient have tnever claimed4 any right to
sell light o@theirf employees, but. they
have arrangeds theI ,circtiit without any
protests being made agaiKst2it and it is
claimed that the arrangement is of
great value Ito Fthe semployes served.
The@Kenosha Gas aud Electric Com
pany being'th only company in Keno
sha which could make@a complaint be-
fore the Commission on this point has
NOT seen fit to go into the matter and,
in fact, the manager Of the company
would probably take no action even
should the Commission decide that it
was unlawful for these companies to
sell either light or power. However,
if the Commission lays down rule in
regard to the matter it is probable
that any Kenosha violations of the
ruling would be investigated under the
order of the Commission.

The university appropriation as fixed
by the senate bill after an all day
session of the upper house, is the form
in which the bill will pass the legisla-
ture. The university receives over
$b0o0,000 for general purposes.
The appropriation for university ex-
tension was to be increased to $75,000,-
next year. Senator Gaylord made
an effort to have this appropriation
placed at 100000 for each year during
the coming biennial period, but the
amendment offered ON this subject by
Senator Sanborn was lost on tie
