G. & M. E, CO., AFTER STUB LINE
Reported That Railroad Right of
Way is Desired

In railway circles today there is a
report current that the Chicago & Mil
waukee Electric Railway Company is
after the stub lineof the Chicago Mil
waukee st. Paul railway, from COrliss
to Racine and that if a successful deal
can be made for either the lease or sale
of the line, the same will be equipped
with electric cars and that they will
operate every hour between Racine
and Corliss. Another report is that
the Beggs interests would like to secure
the stub line and that would do away
with the contemplated move to build
a new electric line to Corliss.
The fact that Corliss has grown
largely the past few years and that a
100000 automobile plant is soon to
be established there, giving employment
to three or four hundred men, ma
iority of whom reside in Racine, makes
it necessary that better passenger serv-
ice be inaugurated between that place
and Racine
Railway men seen pretend that they
know nothing of such a deal, but of
course if it were on, only the high of
fcials would be ON the inside.

SEEKS HIS LIBERTY
Chas. Dodge Serving Term in State
Prison at Waupun Asks for Parole

Charles Dodge, familiarity known as
l"Chalky" Dodge in Kenosha, who is
serving a term of eighteen months in
the state prison at Waupun, has made
application to the state board of par
dons for parole and this morning agents
of the state came to Kenosha to investis
gate the record of Dodge at his sugges-
ton. 1t is not thought that there will
be any strong opposition to the re-
lease of Dodge on the part Ct the Of
fcials of Kenosha county.
Dodge was sent to Waupun in the
month of May of last year after plead
ing guilty to charge of burglarizing
the store of Scholer and Funck. His
term of eighteen months will be reduc-
ed to fourteen months by good behavior
and it is claimed by the prison officials
that he has been model prisoner. The
only thing that may prevent Dodge
from securing his liberty is the fact
that previous to his being sent to Wau-
pun he had served term in the state
reformatory at Green Bay.

Railway Commission Starts
Probe Into Troubles of
Moving Freight Cars
SENDS OUT CIRCULAR LETTER

The railroad commission Of Wiscon-
sin has entered upon searching in
vestigation of the subject of rules and
charges concerning demurrage and car
service rules. It is said the result
may be an order requiring the COM
panies to revise the present rules, and
some people are preparing to ask the
next legislature for law requiring
the railroads to allow something when
they delay a shipment, the same as
they charge when a shipper delays un-
loading car. The railroad commits
sion is now seeking information and
will hold hearing on these subjects on
February 5. A letter of inquiry was
recently sent out by the commission as
follows:
"Owing to the fact that we have re-
ceived many informal complaints with
respect to the present car service and
demurrage rules in this state, and
owing to the further fact that it has
come to our notice in. various other
ways that there is some dissatisfaction
with these rules on the part of many
shippers, it has appeared to us that it
is our duty to enter upon general in
vestigation Of these rules and of all
the conditions, regulations and charges
connected Herewith, for the purpose of
determining whether they are just and
equitable or whether they are such as
to require amendments, additions, or
other changes. Notices Of such in
vestigations have therefore been is
sued and a hearing in the matter will
be held at an early date. All who are
interested in this question are kindly
requested to furnish us with such per-
tinent facts and arguments, as they
feel will throw some light upon the
problems involved and thereby aid us
in the solution of these problems. Such
facts and arguments may be presented
either verbally or in writing at the
hearings, or in written statements or
briefs at the earliest convenient date
GA circular is enclosed which gives
side by side the present rules in this
state and the rules recommended by the
National Association of Railway Com
missioners and promulgated by its com,
mittee on Gear Service and Demurrage
Rules. Careful comparisons of these
two sets of rules will be of material
aid in understanding the nature of the
information which we desire"

Managers of Base Ball Teams
Asked to Enter Into a New
Lake Shore League
PUT TWO TEAMS IN MILWAUKEE,

A new effort is being made to revive
the Lake Shore Base Ball League with
Kenosha as one of the cities represent
ed on the circuit and to this end a
meeting will be held in Milwaukee
probably on next Sunday. It is
planned to make the new league one
composed entirely of Wisconsin clubs
and to give it some standing in Mil
waukee it is proposed to have the Mil
waukee team use the grounds Of the
American Association team on such
Sundays as this team is playing in
some other city. 1t is thought that
this will give team of the proposed
league a powerful prestige in Milwau-
kee
The deal for the organization of
the league is being boosted by the Mil
waukee followers of the team and al
ready four of the magnates who had
teams in the league in other years have
been called into the deal and they have
expressed willingness to come in.
The teams now being selected for the
new league include Milwaukee, Mani
towoc, Sheboygan, Port Washington,
Kaukauna, West Bend, Kenosha and
a second team from Milwaukee. This
would give an eight team circuit and
the Milwaukee teams would alternate
between Milwaukee and the road. It
is claimed that the money made in
Milwaukee would be sufficient to bear
the majority of the expenses of the
league and that the other managers
would benefit greatly by having the
games played at the Milwaukee park.
Manager Breen has as yet given no
answer in regard to Kenosha going in
to the league again, but it is known
that he is not deeply impressed with
the plan. In the last two seasons the
Lake Shore League games did not
prove paying proposition in Kenosha
but it is possible that with the new
circuit and a good bunch of teams that
the Kenosha fans would get a better
quality of games and that the venture
would prove a paying one.

EXPECT MANY ENTRIES
1000 Chickens to be Entered in Wis
consin University Poultry Show

The premium list with rules and
classes for the sixth annual exhibition
of the Wisconsin Poultry Association,
to be held January 1928 at the live
stock pavilion at the College of Agri-
culture Of the University of Wisconsin,
is now being distributed by Secretary
L. B. Rowley of Madison. The plans
for the show are rapidly being com
pleted, and everything points to a
record exhibition for the Badger state.
Advanced entries show that probably
1900 birds, including many of the best
in the northwest, will be shown.
Aside from the cash prizes very
attractive list of silver cups will be
awarded, ranging in value from $40 to
$25. Commercial poultry men who may
not be interested in fancy stock will be
interested in this show, since the new
equipment of the poultry department of
the College of Agriculture will be ready
for inspection. Poultry men of the
state will have an excellent opportunity
to get in touch with the university and
also with the leading poultry men of
Wisconsin.

MUST CHANGE PLASTER
Ornamental Work at Postofice Must be
Torn Down on Account of Error

On account of an error on the part
of the workmen much of the ornamen
tai plaster work which has been done
on the new postofice building will have
to be torn out and replaced. Inspector
Boyd this afternoon was busy with the
contractors directing the removal of
the plaster and the discovery Of the
defect will probably add another month
to the time necessary to complete the
building, but the inspector still insists
that the building will be ready for oc-
cupancy by the first Of April Contrac
tor James Cullen declared this after
noon that the changes demanded in this
ornamental work would not delay the
completion of the building and that
the WORK Of making the change demand
ed by the inspector would be started
at once and completed by the time the
remainder of the work was ready for
| the final finishing touches.

Those in Favor of Trunk Sew
er WillSeek to Bring Cues
ton Before the People
CLAIM BENEFITS WILL Be LARGE

Property owners in Kenosha interest
ed in the building of the trunk sewer
are talking over plans for the forma-
tion of an organization to push the de-
mand for the sewer before the special
election is held on the first Tuesday
in April. This election will probably
decide the fate of the big sewer and
the people who feel the demand for the
immediate construction of the sewer
are planning to do everything in their
power to bring the matter properly be-
fore the people of the city in order
that the voters may vote intelligently
on the question. Plans for an organi-
cation for this purpose were discussed
at an informal gathering on Friday
evening aRd it is expected that they
will be followed up at once.
1t is the plan of the men interested
to send an appeal to every voter in
the city showing the demand for the
sewer and the necessity for acting at
the coming election. Leaders in the
movement declare that the plan for the
building Of the sewer has never been
properly presented to the people of the
city and they assert that if the people
knew the vast territory that will be
benefited by the construction of the
sewer much of the opposition to it
would be removed. These men con-
cede that there will be opposition to
the sewer in the north wards of the
city, but they believe that the south
and west sides should be more than
able to overcome the opposition to be
found in other wards.
The question will be submitted on a
separate ballot and if the people can
be brought to look for the little bal
lot and the city get proper expression
of the will of the voters it is thought
that the proposition to issue bonds for
the sewer will be carried. At the
same time as the submission of the
sewer question the question of issuing
bonds for the building of the proposed
city hall will be submitted to the peo-
pie.
The, plans for the new trunk sewer
have recently been completed by the
city engineer and if the people of the
city vote in favor of the issuance of
bonds to provide the money needed for
the completion of the work the sewer
could be started early in May and a
good portion of it could be built dur
ing the present year. 1t is not
thought that there will be any opposi-
ton on the council if the people of
the city vote in favor Of the sewer
as representatives of the north wards
in the council have announced that
they will be governed in their future
action by the vote of the people at
the polls. 1t is certain that every
possible effort will be made to have
the Question of the big sewer proper
ly laid before the people.

Efforts Being Made to Find Marie
Hanson Who Disappeared Wednesday

Efforts are being made to find some
trace of Marie Hanson, a seventeen
year old girl who has been missing from
the home of Danish farmer near the
village of Winthrop Harbor since last
Wednesday afternoon. At the time
the girl started to come to Kenosha it
was showing very hard and she started
to walk to a station of the Chicago
and Milwaukee road mile from her
home. While it is possible that the
girl is visiting with some friends in
Kenosha her former employers are
alarmed about her and fear that she
may have fallen in snow drift some
where and persisted. A search was
made for her last night but no trace
