IF NOT SATISFACTORY
WILL CHANGE BACK
After Lenthy and Spirited Discussion
of Matter City Fathers Finally Ar
rive at a Decision on Long Debated
Question-A Fair Test to be
Given.

After a lengthy discussion at IT'S
meeting last night the Hampton city
council decided to put into effect a
thirty minute schedule over the street
railway lines in Est Hampton Tor
thirty DAYS in order to have through
car from the boulevard line into the
business section of the city. Under
the agreement the trial Is MADE
with the understanding that IL in tnir-
ty days the East Hampton people md
that the new arrangement works det-
rlmentally to their interest the cars
will be put back on a twenty minute
schedule as is now.
The decision OF the council to give
The new schedule trial will mean a.
great deal to the merchants and busl-
ness men of Hampton. as the boule-
ward people are anxious to do their
shopping in this city. but have failed
to do so heretofore on account OF the
transfer necessary under the present
system. At the same time the boule-
ward citizens are not DESTROYS OF work
ing a hardship on the East Hampton
people in order to carry their desires
to success.
Oppose Annexation.
DIR. T. II. Parramore, Colonel
Thompson and r. E. Rollins clme as
a committee from the Wrthe District
Protective Association. Mr.. Rollins
invited the attention of the council
to the action of his association in
opposing annexation of the Boulevard
to Newport News and declared that
the people along the boulevard are
anxious to become more thorough
citizens of Elizabeth City county and
shoppers among the Hampton mer-
chants. The through cars will mean
that the women of that growing Sec
ton can come into Hampton and re-
turn without having to undergo a long
wait at the LaSalle avenue transfer
station. Colonel Thompson and DIR.
Parramore also urged that the thirty
minute schedule be accepted.
Councilman Spratley opposed the
changing of the schedule, declaring
that the East Hampton people are
opposed to a shorter schedule than
the present one of twenty minutes.
He asked that no action be taken on
the request until the next meeting OF
the council
Captain Darling said he did not de-
sire to vote for or against the new
schedule. as he felt that the wishes
of the East Hampton people were
paramount over those OF the Wythe
district He also thought the council
should do its best to bring the boule-
ward trade into Hampton and declared
that IL it could be shown that a ma
jority in East Hampton favored the
measure he would vote for it.

resents one of the East Hampton

The convention of the German Cath
Ollie Benevolent societies that has been
in session at Beaver Dam since Sunday
closed its business sessions Tuesday.
There was resolution presented ask
ing that the next convention be held
at New London, but it was objected
to by some of the delegates, the reason
being that the town was not large
enough TO accommodate the convention.
1t was finally decided to let the execu-

The officers elected were:

Members of Town Board Re-
fuse to Offer. Any Settle
ment for Damage Suits
AUTO OWNERS WATCHING CASE

The town of Salem is planning to
put up a'fght against the suits brought
by John Gibson as administrator of the
estate of the late Harvey Gibson and
Edward Collier, papers in which were
served on Chairman A. G.. Pacey and
Town Clerk William Evans on Wednes-
day afternoon. The members of the
town board had reached the conclusion
that the suits which were based on an
accident which occurred in Salem more
than six months ago had been dropped
and at the recent meeting of the town
board a formal resolution was passed
declining to make any settlement Of
the suits. Chairman Pacey has de-
clared that he does not believe that
any liability against the town of Sa-
lem can be sustained under the eircum-
stances. 1t is expected that the suits
will be brought to trial at the Septem-
Der term of the circuit court and the
Uu"A pooAu VII NC ieduy 10 ugHt CHe
suits at that time. AS yet the mem
bers of the board have taken no steps
to employ attorneys as they had labor
ed under the impression that the suits
had been dropped. The suits will raise
big question of the right of automo-
bile drivers to demand better care of
the roads and victory for the plain
tiffs in the action would go long way
toward forcing towns to improve high
ways. The outcome of the two suits
is being anxiously watched by men
interested in the automobile business.
The town board of Salem has declared
that there are many roadways in Keno
sha county no better than. the one on
which the suits are based The attor-
neys for the plaintiffs in the suit have
had many pictures taken of the road
where the accident occurred and they
feel convinced that these pictures will
go long way toward convincing the
jury that the highway at the point is
insufficient to furnish safe highway
for automobiles or for any sort of con-
veyances.

Alyea, Wanted for Shooting
O'Hare, Indicted yIndiana
Jury AS Horse THIEF
NO CHANCE FOR HIS ESCAPE

| Ernest E. Alyea, alias Herman Beck
charge of shooting with intent to MUIR
der Chief of Police Owen O'Hare, will
not come to Kenosha for trial for many
months as Chief of Police O'Hare re-
ceived a letter this morning from the
officials at LaPorte, Ind, stating that
Alyea had been held and indicted by the
grand jury there on charge of horse
stealing. He will be brought to trial
at the next term of the court at La
Porte and the sheriff of that county
declares that there is no doubt but
| that he will be convicted and sent to
prison. If he goes to prison it will
be from five to fourteen years as this
is the penalty for the crime Of horse
stealing in Indiana. The Indiana Of
icials have sought to secure a confes-
sion from Alyea especially as to wheth
er or not he was the man who shot
10 Hare but notwithstanding the fact
that he has been in Jail at LaPorte
for more than ten days he has absolute
ly refused to make any statement and
insists that he is not guilty of any Of
the charges made against him. The
LaPorte official in his letter states that
Knox County, Illinois, has put in a
claim for the prisoner declaring that
he is wanted on a criminal charge there
but the Kenosha county officials have
the assurance that if he is not convict
ed at LaPorte he will be sent to Wis
consin to be tried on charges of at
tempted murder.
Alyea is expected to make some
statement between this time and the
time he goes to trial and it is prob
able that Chief O'Hare will make
trip to LaPorte to make an effort to
get some story out Of him. As yet no
claim has been made for the reward
offered for the arrest of the man by
Kenosha county, but it is expected that
as soon as he is brought to this county
for trial that a claim for the reward
will be made by the Chicago detectives
who caused the arrest of Alyea. The
amount of the reward is 5000 and the
county board has already made arrange
ments for the payment of it when the
proper claim is made.

The law abiding people of Kenosha
will heartily approve of the investiga-
tion proposed by the district attorney
Of Milwaukee county which has for it's
object the probing of the reports which
continually come in of the existence
of an unlawful organization among the
Italians of Wisconsin and that official
can rest assured that he will be given
every assistance by the officials of Ke-
nosha county. AS far as they are con-
cerned the people of this county will
be glad to have the matter settled one
way or another once and for all for
they are tired of having reports of the
existence of such an organization with
a branch in this city sent broadcast
throughout the country without par
ticle of real evidence to back them up.
These reports are particularly damag-
ing form of advertising for the, city
and if they cannot be substantiated
kenosha would like to have them stop
ped and if, on the other hand, it is prov
en- beyond reasonable doubt that a
criminal organization does exist, meas
ures will undoubtedly be taken by the
authorities to break up the gang and
dispense its members

TO PUT ON NEW TRAINS
N. w. e. r. to Add Trains to the West
With Issuance of June Schedule

People residing in the western part
of the county are to have the usual
summer trains to and from Kenosha
without appealing to the State Railway
Commission as the officials Of the
Northwestern Railway Company in Ke-
nosha have been advised that with the
opening of the resort season in June
two new trains will be put on the
western division from Kenosha. One
of these trains will leave Kenosha in
the morning and run as far west as
Harvard and it will return in the even
ing. The same train will be run on
Sunday thus making it possible for the
people Of the city to spend Sunday at
the various lake resorts in the western
part Of the county. The new schedule
will probably start the second week in
June and the train will be kept in serv-
ice just as long as there is a demand
for it.

GOT VERDICT OF SIX CENTS
Jury Returns Verdict for Plaintiff in
the Suit of Schmorrow VS.. Kneipp

Jury Returns Verdict for Plaintiff in
the Suit of Schmorrow VS.. Kneipp
William Schmorrow secured a YER
dict of damages to the amount of six
cents in the suit he brought against
Mary Kneipp which was concluded in
the circuit court on Wednesday after
noon. The jury also declared that
Schmorrow was entitled to a deed in fee
simple to twelve inches of land which
he claims had been appropriated by the
defendant, The land in question is
located on the north side of the city
and the contest in regard to the fence
line had been so bitter that it was
decided to have it settled once and for
all in the circuit court. It is not ex-
peeted that any appeal will be taken
from the verdict of the jury.

AS is usual when the disease appears
in mild form, doubts are expressed
as to whether or not smallpox has
actually made its appearance IN the
city and there are the usual number OF
people who believe that a mistake has
been made in the diagnosis, but what
ever opinions may be entertained as to
the ability of the physicians to recog-
nize the disease no one questions the
ACCESSIBILITY Of taking every possible
precaution in dealing with every sus-
picious case and establishing the strict
est quarantine regulations until the nat
ure of the disease is fully established.
There is no harm in being on the safe
side. The physicians of the city are
not at all alarmed oyer the present out
break for conditions at this time are
not favorable to the spread of small
pox and always providing that the
proper quarantine is maintained there
is little danger that the disease will
gain any further foothold in the city.

Many people Of the city are inclined
to regard the ordinance abolishing that
time honored institution, the free lunch,
as more or less of joke, but the saloon
men, or rather some Of them, declare
that they are in sober earnest in their
demands and that they propose to see
that the ordinance goes through the
council if it is a possible thing. AS
a matter Of fact other matters which
have come up in that body show con-
clusively that the saloon men are SUI
preme in the council and if they really
are united on this proposition and want
the free lunch ordinance passed it will
be passed but think of the awkward po-
sition in which some of the politicians
who are dependent on the men who live
off the free lunch for their majorities at
elections will be placed when it comes
time to vote, Picture the anguish
of the easy boss who is called upon by
the powers he dare not disobey to de-
prive his most loyal and useful E'con-
stits of their only visible means of
support.
