TROUBLES CAR LINE.
Interurban Car Line Raised by Road
Workers and Passengers Suffer.


Officials Of the Milwaukee Racine and
Kenosha interurban line are to make
complaints to the town boards of Mt.
Pleasant and Somers because Of work
being done by the J. |. Case Threshing
Machine company in the improvement
If the Lake Shore road. Patrons Of the
interurban line are complaining and I'M
less the trouble is remedied there will
be little if any travel on the interurban
line between this city and Racine. Dur
ing the past two days when interurban
cars passed along the line south of Ra-
cine, passengers would be thrown from
their seats and when they reached Ra-
cine, complaints would be filed. Re
representatives. of the company made I'LL
investigation with the result that they
found that men engaged in improving
the roadway had worked under the ties
and west rail Of the interurban line and
raised the west rail several inches and
had neglected to lower it and the re-
suit was that when interurban cars
passed over the line the passengers
were thrown about and they believed
that the car was off the track.
The railway company is to endeavor
to prevent any persons from working
under the rails and ties unless author
lied to do so.

END CITY HALL EXAMINATION
Contractors and Men in Charge of the
Building Claim That Evidence Show
ed No Cause For Protest to Common
Council.

The examination of William Ball and
David Shostedt two of the men who
signed the affidavit on which Douwe
Gaastra in part based his complaint
struction of the new city hall was con-
cluded before Court Commissioner Jo-
eph R. Clarkson late Friday afternoon
and the testimony given by these two
witnesses was even more vague than
that which had been given by Gaastra
IN the opening session of the hearing
in the morning. Both of the men de-
clared that they had based their claims
on observations made of the work and
Ball insisted that he had watched the
work on September IA, and October 6.
Shostedt Was not so certain of dates
but he was finally brought to set the
dates when he had observed the mixing
OF the concrete as October and S.
Both of the men insisted that they were
convinced by these observations that
the contract between the company and
the city was not being followed and
that this led them to join with Gaastra
IN making the affidavit on which the
complaint was based. The evidence Civ
en- by the two men was very similar to
that given by Mr. Gaastra. They also
told the story of the test which had
been made at the Gaastra home but I'M
der hot fire of cross questions from
District Attorney Baker they finally ad-
mitted that this test was made after
they had signed the affidavit which had
accompanied the protest of Gaastra
when it was filed with the city clerk.
The men declared after this that their
affidavit was not based on any actual
test but On their observations. The
committee in charge of the construc-
ton was elated over the facts brought
out at the hearing and they declared
that this evidence was not sufficient tn
warrant any investigation into the pro-
test filed by Gaastra. Alderman James
Fltben who has acted with Architect
Lindl in the supervision of the work on
the building is in readiness for examin-
alton and the attorneys for Gaastra
have intimated that he will be called
before court commissioner and given
a chance to give his side of the con-
test. Fllben has repeatedly declared
that he is willing to have any test of
the building that can be suggested
within reason and the contractors have
Joined in this declaration declaring that
they are willing to have the building
examined by any reputable architect
at any time he may see fit to enter if.
More than this the building is open for
the inspection of the people of the city
at any time.
The floors against which the protest
seems to have been launched are to be-
tested in accordance with the specif-
cations and contract before they are ac-
cepted by the city and this will show
the claims of the rival parties as to the
safety or insuf6ciency Of the construc-
tion.

Fishermen at Ports of Great
Lakes Want National Fish
and Game Laws
TROUBLED CLOSED SEASON

Fishermen at all ports along the
Great Lakes desire that there be uni
form fish and game laws in all states
bordering on the lakes and it is the
intention to have national law
passed fixing the time When fishing
will be allowed in the Great Lakes.
Such, law is favored by fishermen be-
cause each state has different laws
and the time when fishing is allowed
in the Great Lakes differs in the
states and as result the fishermen 90
to other ports when the closed season
is on in their own state. Fishermen
Of other states object to the foreign
fishermen coming to their ports and
making them the headquarters.
1t is the aim of fishermen in Wiscon-
sin to try to introduce into the national
Legislature at Washington resolution
to MAKE universal fish law that must
be observed in all states.
One can hardly blame the fishermen
when they go from Wisconsin to Michi-
gan to fish when they cannot fish out
side our own cities. They must earn a
living and as long as the chance for
good hauls is right at their doors they
will go there and fish.
The supply of fish in the lakes is
not inexhaustible, although fishing is
still what may be called good, it is not
up to what it was a few years ago.
Some hauls average about 900 pounds
to the net, but such hauls are unusual.

The new organization, plans for which
were completed Tuesday evening, which
is to be known as the Kenosha Anti
tuberculosis and Public Health League,
will take in all the organizations inter
ested in the betterment and safeguard
ing Of the public health in the city and
it is believed that by bringing all of
the separate societies in the city into
one organization, it will be possible to
accomplish more for the good Of the city
along these lines that by having smaller
societies each striving to remedy some
particular evil working alone. The need
of some such organization in Kenosha
is too apparent to require any special
explanation and it is expected that all
good citizens who are interested in the
health and welfare of the community
will unite with the new organization.
The united influence Of a few hundred
earnest men and women could accom-
plisn much, even in the face of the dis
-couraging conditions which confront
those working for Improvements along
any line in this city.

Lights on His Automobile.

Peter Rhode, who disabled his auto
mobile when he ran into the watering
trough at the corner Of Market Square
and Main street on Wednesday night
has notified Alderman John Hegeman,
chairman Of the council committee on
claims that he will claim damages from
the city for the damages to his ve-
hicle. He asserts that the statement
that his lights were not burning was a
Misrepresentation and while admitting
that the vehicle carried no lighted head
light he declares that the two electric
lamps on the sides of the automobile
were burning brightly. He claims that
the council had been advised that the
fountain was menace to public safety
but had failed to take any steps to pro-
tect the public against collisions with

it will be a decidedly profitable fight
for Conley, regardless Of the outcome.

ting as the Kenosha boy will be forced

Kenosha fight fans will watch for the
outcome of this battle with great
deal of interest.

Of assaulting Eddie Vetter with intent
to do great bodily harm. The two men
met on Main street and Wattles is al
legged to have given Vetter terrific
punishment. Vetter was in court this
morning and the hearing of the case
was adjourned until next Saturday. 1t

HELD 81 NEW YORK OFrlv-..jj
Ygi-o> &c Judge Randall Will Be Follow
co By Wife of Man Who Insists That
He Be Brought Back to Kenosna For
Trial

Henry Woehr, former Kenosha man
is homesick and alone in the great city
of New York and with a view of escap-
ing from his inconsistencies and getting
back to the people he knows he has
offered to surrender himself to the DO
lice of Kenosha to answer charge of
abandonment in order to get back
home again. Henry has seen the man
ner in which abandonment cases are
disposed of in Kenosha and he seems to
be willing to take a chance. Henry
also has an idea of the eternal fitness
of things. He disappeared from Ken
osha on October 9th and since that time
the police have been searching far and
wide for him with little results. Thurs
day afternoon Judge Randall received
the following telegram from Woehr,
which promises to 60 down in the an
nails Of the police department as the
most unusual telegram ever received.
1t read:
Judge Randall
Kenosha, Wis
do you want me. Wire police of
New York City. Have just given my
self up to them.'
Henry Woehr.
The charges on the telegram were
paid and Judge Randall at once turned
it over to the police; it is pretty GER
tain that an officer will be sent to New
York to bring Woehr back for trial and
Mrs. Woehr who appeared in court late
Thursday afternoon declared that there
would be no condoning Of the offense
OF which the man is charged when he is
brought back to Kenosha. The Judge
informed Mrs. Woehr that the county
did not want to go to large expense
Of bringing her husband back only to
have her refuse to appear against him
and she not only assured the court that
she would be in court to prosecute but
later informed the police department
that she would furnish money to bring
Woehr back.
Woehr has twice been sought by the
police for abandoning his wife and
little child. About year ago he fed
from Kenosha leaving the wife and
child without support but at this time
he was located in Beloit and brought
back to Kenosha and after a fearful
session with his wife he begged for
giveness and the little woman consented
to let bygones be by-gones and Woehr
was not prosecuted. Three weeks aoo
he got the wanderlust again and this
time it is evident that he managed to
get as far as New York. The wife
caused warrant to be issued for him
and the police in many cities had been
searching for him at the order Of the
Kenosha officials.
If Woehr intended his telegram as a
joke it is probable that he will laugh
on the wrong side of the face as the
police are determined to bring him
back and prosecute him on the charges
brought by his wife.
