THE MULTIPLEX TELEPHONY.
Several Conversations May Be Oar
ried on Simultaneously Over the
Same Wire.

Washington, Jan. 3-General
Allen. the chief signal officer Of the
army, today announced that as re-
suit of recent experiments by the sig
nal corps, multiplex telephony is
now practicable, whereby several in
dependent conversations may be car
ried on simultaneously over the same
wire circuit.
Another important discovery, cal
culated to double at least the capac-
ity of the existing telephone lines, is
that it is no longer necessary to use
the wires or what is known as the
return wire" for efficient telephon-
ing, but that single wire with "sil-
ent earth" connections can be used
for multiplex telephony. All of the
necessary instruments required in
multiplex telephony are already de-
veloped and can be purchased from
dealers in the open markets.
1t is a remarkable fact that a
super-position of additional tele-
| phone conversations upon wire does
not interfere in the slightest de-
gree with the operation Of the pres
emit telephone installation which re-
main unchanged. That the new sys-
tenn is instantly practicable and that
it has long passed the experiments
stage, is evidenced by the fact that &
single wire circuit between the re
search laboratory of the signal corps
of the bureau of standards on thu
heights north of Washington, and ths
signal corps construction laborator!
at ITO Pennsylvania Avenue, is nov
daily used for the independent trans
mission Of two simultaneous tele
phonic conversations.

NO MORE TAX REBATES.
People of City Must Make Objections to
Board of Review and Not Council.

The taxpayers of the city are to be
given a formal notice within a few
days that they must make all complaints
in regard to assessments to the board
Of review and the city council commit
tee on taxes has served notice that in
the future no recommendations will be
made for the rebate of taxes. Attor-
neys for the city have notified the COM
mittee that the council has no right to
make any rebate of taxes and that II
the assessments are to be cut they must
be cut by the board of review and not
by the council. In past years the coun-
Gil has gone directly contrary to the
law and given rebates galore but this
year the people will be forced to take
the proper legal steps if they desire to
make any successful attempt to secure
reduction in their taxes. The board of
review will begin meeting the last
Monday in June and continue to hold
meetings until the books of the asses
sers are turned over to the city clerk
for the annual tax levy.

TO PASS THROUGH HERE SOON
Postmaster Baker Takes Matter Up
With Secretary Of President With a
View of Having Him Stop in Keno
sha for an Hours

Prominent Kenosha Republicans are
making plans to arrange for a short
visit from President Taft during the
closing months Of the summer when the
president has arranged to take trip
through the middle states visiting sew
eral cities in Wisconsin. He is booked
ITO make a short address at Appleton
and Racine has sent an invitation for
him to make a short stop in that city.
President Taft has made a promise to
come to Kenosha and it is possible that
he will elect to keep that promise at
this time. During the last presidential
campaign when the president made a
short address III Racine more than two
thousand Kenosha people went to Ra-
cine to hear him and at that time
prominent Republicans of the county
urged him to visit Kenosha. Mr.. Taft
was at that time a private citizen but
he gave assurance to the Kenosha
county people that he would arrange
to visit Kenosh asome time during his
term as president. The promise was
given with a smile, but contract is a
contract and if the Kenosha people
insist on visit from the president
there is little doubt but that he will
make good his part of the contract.
Postmaster Robert Verne Baker who is
also head of the Republican county COM
mittee is being urged to take the mat
ter up with the president s secretary
and urged the president to make short
stop in Kenosha. The present arrange
ment for the trip to Wisconsin provides
for the president passing through Ke-
nosha and it is urged that it would be
an easy matter for him to stop his
train long enough to make a short ad-
dress from the platform of the train.
If the president can see fit to give a
longer time to the city there is no doubt
but that Kenosha will give him a
tremendous welcome and that no hall in
the city will be large enough to hold
the people who would want to hear the
nation Is chief executive. The details of
the trip of the president will not be
arranged for some time yet and there
is plenty of time for Kenosha people
to get in their invitation. 1t has been
a great many years since Kenosha has
had the honor of entertaining presi-
dent. Near presidents have been here
in nearly every campaign in recent
years and Mr.. Bryan, the perennial
candidate has made repeated visits to
the city. The movements Of the Re
publicans in seeking to secure short
stop Of President Taft in Kenosha will
be watched with interest by the people
of the whole city regardless of politics.

Change in Trains on the N.
W. Proves Bad for Service
From Kenosha to Cities
SEEK CHAEGES

Mail service out of the Kenosha post
office has been hard hit by an order
received from Washington this morning
which effects both the north and south
mails and Postmaster Baker has taken
the matter up with Washington with a
view of securing immediate changes.
The new changes in the schedule which
are to go into effect at once will make
it almost impossible to have letters
mailed in Kenosha at noon delivered
in Chicago the same day and letters
for Milwaukee mailed in the early
afternoon will not reach the resident
districts of that city until the follow
ing morning The changes provide that
the mail which was formerly dispatched
to the north at 6:18 will leave an hour
later and this will not go into Milwau-
keo until nine O'Clock making it i'm
possible to secure the delivery of it
in even the business districts Of that
city. The mail to the south which
formerly left Kenosha at 1925 a. m. is
to leave an hour earlier. This will
make it impossible to send out mail
picked up in the morning collections on
this mail and it will not go down until
the noon train. The mail car on this
train is placed on local train at Wau-
kegan and it does not get into Chicago
in time to secure delivery the same
day. This means that all of this mail
will not >be delivered in Chicago until
the day after it leaves Kenosha. The
mail received will not be distributed in
the evening before the closing hours at
the postoffice and this will be 8 new
source for complaints. Postmaster
Baker and Assistant Postmaster Zens
have been at work on the problem and
they have wired the department asking
for the privilege of expressing pouch
to Milwaukee on the afternoon train
leaving at 4:10 and to. Chicago on the
train leaving at $3.50 a. m. This would
take care of the matter SO far as the
early mail is concerned and would
bring improved conditions in the serv-
ice. 1t is thought that the officials will
be able to show the officials in Washing
ton the justice of granting these re-
quests.

With the close of the successful ne
gotiations for the location of the plant
of the McComber, Whyte company in
Kenosha, President Dan o. Head of the
Kenosha Industrial association is re-
ceiving letters from many companies
now seeking new sites for plants and
an early meeting of the board of direc-
tors of the Kenosha Industrial associa-
ton will be held at which these offers
will be taken up. The plants now seek
ing locations are not in Chicago, but
located at cities in Wisconsin. The
most interesting proposition now before
the association comes from a plant now
located at Lacrosse and engaged in the
manufacture of automobile accessories.
This company has sent a letter to the
association asking that it make a prop
osition for the removal of the plant to
Kenosha. The company employees a
large number Of men and is seeking to
get into the Chicago freight district.
The officials Of the company have an
nounced their intention of visiting K-e-
nosha in the near future and it is ex-
pected that they will have some prop
osition to make at that time.
Another company seeking a site and
bonus is a concern engaged in the
manufacture of cream saparators in Mil
waukee. This company employees rs
men and the officials believe that about
$1,000 and site would be sufficient
to get it to remove to Kenosha. The
offer is undoubtedly liberal one, but
the industrial association is looking for
bigger concerns. An electric plating
concern now at Oshkosh would also re-
move to Kenosha if given proper en-
couragement.
The directors of the association have
not matured their plans for the future
but it is possible that they will decide
on another subdivision purchase if a
piece Of land can be secured that is
well located and the same methods will
be used in disposing of it as were used
with the subdivision just closed out.
The directors of the association feel GER
tain that there will be no trouble over
the contracts made for the lots to the
north of the city and that the same
plan will prove just as successful with
a second subdivision. Nothing will be
done with haste, however, and the peo-
pie will have chance to rest up little
before a new movement is started.

A bill designed to strengthen the ex-
isting laws for the protection of the
consumer against false weights and
measures is now in the legislature with
every prospect Of passing and when
this measure becomes a law something
should be done to protect Kenosha pur-
chasers and to guarantee their getting
what they pay for. Nothing has been
done under the present state laws and
the city ordinances on the subject for
the protection Of the people and it is
e.me that there was thorough investi-
cation of the weights and measures now
in use in this city. Unless our expert
ence is different from that of every
city making this kind OF an investiga-
Yion and these tests are to be made
after the laws on the subject have
been allowed to practically lapse for a
long period Of time, there will be revela-
tions which will astonish the consum-
ers. 1t has been years since there was
"a check up on all the weights and meas
.ures in use in this city principally be-
cause to properly enforce the laws
would necessitate the purchase of a full
set of tested standard weights and
measures for the use of the officials
and the county board objected to the
expense involved, Judging from the
complaints of short weight and cheat
ing continually being made matters
cannot be allowed to run along as they
have been much longer. There is a
well defined suspicion, amounting almost
to certainty, that standard weights
and measures would save the purchasers
the full cost of the testing set, which
will have to be bought to make the
investigation effective, many times over
in very short time.
