SEEK STOLEN CASE.

The police of the city have received
a letter from G. =. Bernecl1er of She
boygan asking that they make an effort
to find a sample case stolen from the
Northwestern train in Kenosha On last
Saturday. Bernecker was a passenger
on the tain and had left the case con-
tanning an electric water heater in one

SCHOOLS TO PAY FULL RATE
State Commission Gives out Interesting
Decision in Answer to Request From
Kenosha Water Board on Tuesday
Afternoon.


The Wisconsin State Railroad Com
mission has put it's foot down on any
effort on the part Of the Water Commits
sioners of Kenosha to furnish free wat
er to schools or other institutions and
a formal ruling in the matter has been
sent to the board by the secretary OF
the commission. The point was raised
in connection with petition from the
German Lutheran church in which it
was asked that some concession in water
rates be made in supplying water to run
the fans of the new Lutheran school.
At the time the board was inclined to
grant the concession but on advice of
attorneys the matter was taken up with
the commission. The ruling of the COM
mission will make it impossible for the
commission to supply free water to
any institution in Ker osha and it is
not improbable that the question of
supplying free water to the schools of
the city will be taken up later. In or
der that the people may know just what
the railroad commission has held in re-
gard to such free service the officials
of the commission have made public
the ruling which follows:
Madison, Wis.,, Dec. %, 1910
r. H. Moth, Superintendent Water
Works, Kenosha, Wis.
Dear Sir:
Replying to your letter Of end. inst;
in which you ask whether the city Of
Kenosha can furnish water to parochial
schools at rates other than those charg-
ed to the general public for like service,
will call your attention to the provis-
ions Of Section 1797m-S9 of the public
utilities law, which you can find on
pages 45 and 46 of the pamphlet which
we are sending you under separate COW
er. We wish particularly to call your
attention to the following extract from
the section in question:
If. any. officer of any munich
pality constituting public utility.
shall, directly or Indirectly, by any de-
vice whatsoever or otherwise, charge,
demand, collect or receive from any per-
son, firm or corporation, greater or
less compensation for any service rem
dered or to be rendered by it or affect
ing or relating to the. 49,. delivery or
furnishing of. 49,, water. such
agent or officer so offending shall be
deemed guilty Of misdemeanor, and
upon conviction thereof shall be punish
ed by a fine of not less than fifty nor
more than one hundred dollars for each
offense.
In view of the plain wording of the
statute, we think it would be unwise for
the city authorities to furnish water
to any private individual at less rate
than that provided for the general pub
lie. This law can only be modified by
action of the legislature.
Truly yours,
Railroad Commission of Wisconsin.
J. M. Winterbotham,
Secretary.

No plans have been made for any
ceremonies to mark the dedication of

there may be no set ceremonies it is
certain that the hospital viii be opened

city before the patients are received.

FURNITURE COMING THURSDAY
Directors Receive Many Gifts During
the Holiday Season But $1,000 is
Still Needed to Complete Furnishing
of Hospital


The cherished plan of the board OF
directors of the Kenosha Hospital as
ISOLATION to have the hospital opened
for tile use of the people of the city
next Monday has been aba1 doned as
the members of the board have found
that it viii be impossible to have the
institution ready at that time and Mrs.
JaiQes Cayanagh, the secretary OF the
board announced this morning that it
would be at least two weeks before
the new institution would be ready for
the reception of patients. The work OF
getting in the plumbing at the hospital
was concluded today and the building
will be formally turned over to the di-
teetors of the hospital association be-
fore the end of the week as all the work
THAT remains to be done is little
painting in several of the rooms and
the directors feel certain that this will
be completed on Saturday. The first
consignment of the furnishings for the
new hospital will arrive on Thursday
but it is expected that it will be ten
days before all the furniture has ar
rived Much of the furniture has been
made to order and for this reason there
has been some delay in getting the
contracts carried out. The directors had
worked hard with view of having the
hospital opened on New Year s Day
but several days ago they gave up this
plan finding that it would be impossible
to get the hospital settled and it was
the plan of the directors not to open
the new institution until every portion
Of it was ready for the reception of pa
TENTS. Christmas gifts have been com
ing in to the association during the last
few days and as result of these gen
ercus membranes the fund for the
furnishing of the new building has been
increased by nearly thousand dollars.
In the coming two weeks the directors
are hopeful that money will be secured
to complete the fund. A little over
$1,000 is needed to insure the opening
Of the new institution without debt.
Among the Christmas gifts for the
hospital are the following:

NAVAL INVESTIGATIONS.
Courtsmartial and Courts of Inquiry to
Be Settled This Week.

Washington, April 24.-Several courts
martial and courts of inquiry which have
been drifting along for weeks are eX-
pected to be terminated this week. Most
notable among them is the inquiry into
the differences between General Elliott
and Col Lauchhemer of the Marine
Corps. This proceeding had gone far be-
yond the scope originally assigned to it
and it now appears that it will involve
the succession to the command OF the
Marine Corps that will result from the
retirement of Gen. Elliott next fall. Some
of the developments during the investi-
CATION are believed to have seriously at
fected the chances of officers who mad
been regarded as in favorable position for
selection.
Next Thursday the same three retired
admrals who have been working hard
on the Lauchheimer case for SIX weeks
will turn their attention to the charges
that have been made against Commander
Frank X. Hill that he maintained ms

THE ENGLISH COMMENT.
All Hands Agree That Roosevelt's Talk
Will Help Mankind.

London. April 25-Theodore Roosevelts
Sorbonnel address is presented extern
sively i'm the British newspapers and is
the subject of much editorial comment
All make reference to the triteneSs of the
eX-PreSident's theme, which the Stand
ard considers better suited for a plat
form audience than for the flower of
Partisan intellectuals. At the same time
all concede that the sound and healthy
gospel is doubly welcome, as the Daily
Graphic remarks, because the worad is
waking to the consciousness of intellect
ual and moral hunger which only these
truths can satisfy"
In the same strain, the Chronicle dis
cusses the source of Roosevelt's unques-
toned power and influence. 1t says: "He
is not a. subtle thinker, but knows that
the ajority of mankind like to hear the
eternal verites Numbered at them
through megaphone. He knows also
that his preachngs if universally prac-
ticed would mean a regenerated world,
and a large part of the effect they pro-
duce comes from recollecting that Roose-
welt does practice what he breaches and
that the qualities he recommends he has
himself placed before all mems eyes with
astounding results"

from the fact that a number OF young
pitchers will make good IN The two

have already made satisfactory show

many of them will stick throughout
the season. Then again, their efforts
may be mere flashes in the pan. Young
pitchers have started out before under

Link held the Tigers to four hits in
10 innings and stopped Sam Crawford
from hitting, something that Addie
joss failed to do the day before. Meth
CT Mullen nor Willett could beat the

stripping in stature. prevented them
from scoring more than one run in
nine innings. Vaughn got away with a
tie with Boston, while young Frill has
