Litnuanians on North Maple st. En-
gage in Free for All Fight

There was hot time in the Lithu-
anian colony on North Maple street
Sunday evening and as a result of it
there was bunch of badly bruised
men in the Municipal Court this morn
ing. The trouble ali started over one
OF the men applying vile name to
another, but before the fight was over
four of them had been badly bruised
up and several others had been more
or less scratched. In court this morn
ing Tony Grmakowkcz and Antonio
Wycihowicz pleaded guilty to making
disturbance on the street and the
former was fined dollar and costs
while the latter paid So and costs.
Two other men taken in by the police
at the time of the fight declare that
they were simply spectators to the
highland the hearing of their case was
adjourned until later in the week. All
of the men were badly bruised up and
it was evident from their appearance
that there had been scrimmage.

ANNOUNCE THEIR MARRIAGE
E. S. Newell and Miss Bessie E. Lar
gent Of Chicago Married Today

Letters were received in Kenosha
this morning announcing the marriage
Of Miss Bessie E. Largent of Chicago
and Raymond S. Newell of Kenosha
which was celebrated at the home of
Dr. j. Thompson in Wheaton, H., on
last Monday afternoon. Mr.. Newell
lis employed as an assistant in the Fred
Schroeder studio and is well known
among the young people Of the city.
The announcement of the marriage came
as a complete surprise to the friends of
MIR. Newell in Kenosha. He left here
q week ago Saturday for short vaca-
ton, but at the time said nothing of
shls plans to be married and no word
was received from him until this morn
ing when the letter announced his mar
rage. The wedding was very quiet
one, attended only by few dear
friends of the bride and groom. Mr..
and Mrs Newell are now spending
their honeymoon at ct. Madison, Iowa.
but they will come to Kenosha to make
their home in about two weeks. Many
friends of Mr.. Newell in Kenosha will
be pleased to extend congratulations.

SHIPPERS DISAGREE
Question of Uniform Demurrags
Rules Causes Trouble Among
Commercial Organizations
COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE

Shipping interests of the country
are badly divided over the question of
uniform demurrage rules, and repre-
sentatives of various commercial or
CARNATIONS throughout the country are
fastening to Washington to give their
views upon the question.
The matter will be discussed before
a subcommittee of the National Asso.
citation of Railway Commissioners in
Washington. The committee has pre-
pared set of rules to govern the de-
tention of railroad cars by the ship
pers of the entire country and is invit-
ing discussion, criticism and sugges-
tions thereto. The chairman of the
committee is Franklin E. Lane of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, who
has made a careful and exhaustive
study of the subject of demurrage.
Probably few things have caused
such unending discussion and friction
between the shippers and the rail-
roads as the penalties whieeattach to
the detention of freight cars. In the
aggregate millions of dollars are paid
by the shippers annually for the privi-
lege of OBTAINING loaded cars longer
than forty-eight hours, the demurrage
being 81 per car for every day in ex-
cess of forty-eight hours. The rail-
roads insist that they do not assess
such charge because they want the
cars. They would prefer that the ship
pers should not place themselves in
the position cf having to pay demur-
rage.
The demurraoe charges were asses
sed to prevent shippers using freight
cars as warehouses and to compel a
prompt return of the cars. In many
cases, however, the rules work hard
ships and this has led to exceptions
which are wholly within the control
of the chairman of the particular
car service association assessing the
charges. This fact often leads To
charges of favoritism and to dissatis.
faction among shippers. The Inter.
state Commerce Commission, therefore,
took the matter up with the result that
the subcommittee was appointed and
began an effort to secure uniform rules
for the entire country.

Commander Of c. A. R. Urges

Members Reorganization
SOUND TAPS FOR C0MRADE

Department Commander r. B. Lang
of Racine, OF the Grand Army Of the
Republic has just sent out genera
order urging upon all patriotic people
of the state that they take an interest
in the celebration Of Flag Day on June
IA and while the department encamp
ment is scheduled to begin at Eau
Clarie on that day the commander
gives orders that cold Glory" is to be
thrown from the breeze from every
post hall in Wisconsin on that date.
The members of the various posts are
urged to arrange for patriotic services
in the schools and in other public
places to mark the passing of the day
Arrangements are being made for the
celebration of the day In Kenosha and
it is expected that several of the patri
otto bodies of the city will arrange to
carry out the suggestions of the depart
ment commander along this line.
Taps have been sounded again for
one of the members of the department
who was widely known throughout the
state, and in his general order Com
mander Lang says:
"The department commander has
just heard and with profound sorrow,
Of the death Of Major T. L. LETTERS,
who was adjutant Of the Wisconsin
Veterans Home, Waupaca, for long
term of years. Major LETTERS died sud
denly, May 28th, from neuralgia of the
heart. His death will be lamented by
large circle Of friends and by every
comrade in the department who knows
Fof his long, faithful and thoroughly
efficient service as adjutant at the
beautiful home which he has done so
much to render beautiful and make it
| a real home, to every inmate. Major
Jefers was a true comrade, in every
sense of the word, the very soul Of
honor kindly, just, manly and helpful
He served his country in Company E
of the 10th New York Artillery, and
after his discharge from that organiza-
ton was for some time in the Union
navy. He made fine record for him
self all the way through. His ser
vices at the home have been Of the
highest type Of excellence and of the
greatest Importance. While we re-
verently bow our heads at the grave
Of noble comrade who has. passed on,
we send to the sorrowing family ex-
pressions of the department IS deepest
sympathy

saloon man, arrested some time ago on
a charge of having gambling devices

q very few minutes. Niederprim was

The Bill legalizing ten round boxing
masehes has passed both houses of the
Legislature and is Row up to the gov
orAor. 1t is said that the fight
against che bill will be carried before
the goNernor, but it is not probable
that he will exercise his veto power
I'M a matter of this kind. There was
ample time allowed for debate on the
bill aad24f it was to be killed it should
have been killed in the legislature.
The people who are opposed to boxing
need net fear that the passage of this
bifl is going to inaugurate any great
revival Of the boxing game in the
STATE, however, provided Of course
that they keep. up their opposition af-
ter the law goes into eject. All that
they via have to IS to eaectually pre-
vent boxing in this state is to see that
tbe rfevtSions ef the law are strictly
enlarged for the restrictions thrown

Matches conducted strictly under the
law are not likely to draw enough at
tendance to make them paying PROPOSE,

that there viii be no matches unless

RANKS STATE HIGH
Work of State Forester Brings
Wisconsin Into High Place in
Preservation Of Forests
TO SAVE STATE GREAT FUND

Other states may well emulate the
reforestation policy adopted by the
state of Wisconsin according to the ar
ticle in the June number of Hampton s
magazine by John L. Mathews. 1t is
Eentitled '|White Coal Mines and Water
FFarms.' - He describes the work Of
Estate Forester E. M. Gritnth as moth
ing less than marvel in the work al
ready accomplished.
After explaining how the forests
were depleted Mr.. Mathews says, "the
enriched lumbermen, caring nothing for
the future but satisfied with the pres
ent gain, abandoned the burned ever
! land to the state and deserted their
faRen dams. The federal government
spent 100000 in an endeavor to keep
the Wisconsin river navigable, and
then gave up; and until the Railway
Commission came into being, the rail
roads, freed from their competition,
fcharged what they would for carrying
in the coal that was necessary to re
place the wasted water power.
The article declares that Wisconsin
should be rich, but it was not until
Forester Griffith came to Wisconsin
that the era of regeneration was
started.
Sup there in the central highland,
whence all his rivers rise, he has es-
tabhshed his stronghold, and there he
has determined to gather a reserve of
three million acres of trees" says the
article. 1t is then explained how some
Of the men Of the state attempted " to
grab all of the ponds in the state re-
serve for storage AS the result it be-
came necessary for the state to form
the Wisconsin Valley Improvement
Company. The corporation, subject
to the control Of the forester, has the
right of eminent domain over ponds
and lands-lands suitable for water
'farms-in the source region and the
right to use ponds in the forest reserve.
Now let us see what Griffith has
done for Wisconsin with the aid and
cooperation of the mill men, con-
tinues the article. ''There is SO far
developed 1900, 1000, 900 feet of storage
and surveys are made for 100000 0o,-
600. The value and efficiency of every
power on the (Wisconsin) river is al
ready doubled Instead Of shutting
down or buying coal in the low water
season lass year, as the mills on other
rivcrs DID, those on the Wisconsin went
ahead on their stored water. The low
er river which has so long oeen IN
navignble is soon to become a deer
and useful stream, reducing the freight
I rates in large territory
Mathews predicts that with the i'm
provements planned, the state will be
saved many milliens year on it's Goa
bills. He believes the valleys cf al
the principal rivers in Wisconsin viii
become the scene of great manufacture
ing centers that will rival anything il
the olden days

State Superintendent of Schools
Cary's letter to the teachers Of the
state warning them that there is
danger in breaking away from their
"moral moorings' might be supple
mented by another warning to the eff
feet that the foundations of a good
education are fixed also and that no in
tellectual embroidery, no cultivation of
fads and frills and isms can make up
for or conceal any deficiency in the
fundamentals. And it is by no means
certain that any failure to give the
student in the public schools proper
training in the latter is not more dan
gerous to the state. To a certain ex-
tent any lack of moral training in the
schools will be made up to the pupil
in his home, but parents and guardians
look to the schools for the intellectual
side Of the development of their child
rem and knowledge Of reading, writ
ing, and arithmetic-the old three r s
Of our grandfathers-is of infinitely
more value to ninety-nine per cent of
the pupils Of the public schools than
any smattering of the so-called higher
branches that their teachers can give
them. The tendency to what might be
called over elaboration in the courses
of study IN the public schools is the
chief danger to be guarded against.

FREIGHT CHARGES ON
 HOUSEHOLD GOODS
Too Much Care Can Not Be Exercised
 by Prospective Immigrants.

Immigrants coming to Phoenix and the Salt river valley might often spare themselves annoyance. time and ex- pense by exercising greater care in securing the proper valuation on their household goods and the proper as sessment of freight charges. This is particularly true in the traffic districts separated by the Mississippi river There are differing rates in these dis tricts and, naturally, differing rules for the government of agents. More over, the local agents in small places seldom have to deal with other than local freight shipments and are not always well informed on rates to dis
 tant points The railroad companies retain commercial agents who make
 it their special business to confer in matters of this kind. A prospective
 immigrant should, if possible. consult a commercial agent of the company before stating the valuation of his shipment and paying the charges. He can get in touch with such an agent usually through the local agent, who may not himself fully understand the case. and who, using such rates as he
 has at his command, may unintentiOn- ally give the patron transformation,
 or accept his goods and ship them at an improper rate, causing trouble at
 the point of destination, where the receiving agent must apply the correct
 rates.
 In an interview with w. s. Colds
 worthy general agent for the Santa
 Fe, yesterday afternoon, he made the following statement regarding the matter:
 The shipment of household goods. or anything for that matter, from the
 middle west is no small item of eX-
 pense to the immigrant The proper information should be had at the start. The best source for such information
 is of course from the railroad com panys general representative or com
 mercial agent. In lots of instances the local agent in the east does not fully understand, and unintentiOnally gives the wrong assessment of charges as to the territory from which the shipment is sent. This also holds true for the valuation of the shipment. I can not impress tO StrohSly Oh the Hlhd Oi the immigrant the importance of get ting the matter of charges and valua- tiOn properly fixed and placed on the bill of lading covering the shipment before such shipment is released and moved. The declared valuation of & ! per hundred pounds must be shown upon the bill of Iading to secure the ! benefit of the lowest possible rate ] Friends of prospective immigrants
 would do well to notify their eastern ! friends of this fact
