CLAIM DEAL is FINISHED.
G. and M. Electric to Run Over North
western Elevated.

G. and M. Electric to Run Over North
western Elevated.
The Northwestern Elevated Railroad
after lengthy negotiations, has decided
to permit the Chicago & Milwaukee
Electric Railroad to run trains over its
lines to the center of Chicago. Inter
ests representing the bondholders of
the interurban road have reached an
agreement with President Mason B.
Starring of the Northwestern Elevated
as to the terms and compensation on
which this privilege will be granted.
A contract will be signed as soon as
the Chicago s. Milwaukee receivership
is discharged and the property turned
over to the re-organized company.
Through service to the union loop
district of Chicago is expected to en-
hance the earning power of the inter,
urban company. It has been seriously
handicapped by having no terminal
nearer than Evanston, which has sub
jected its passengers to delay and an
additional fare in coming to and from
Chicago. With the increased traffic
that it win secure from connection
with the downtown loop it can afford
to carry passengers to the heart of
Chicago with little or no extra charge.
The Northwestern Elevated will also
benefit from the change, since the
royalties charged the Chicago & Mil
waubee Electric viii probably be made
high enough not only to Offset the loss
Of travel by passengers who now take
the interulban line at Evanston, but
to give q profit TO tie company.
Those in control Of the interurban
road have also decided to double track
its entrance into Milwaukee, paying
for the work out Of the proceeds of a
part Of the proposed new issue of first
mortgage bonds.

SHOWED GOOD SENSE
Crowd Of 5000 Circus Keep
Seats When Great Tent is
Threatened by Fire
TROUBLE WITH GASOLINE LIGHT

The good sense of Kenosha people
was shown on Tuesday night at the
performance of the Wallace Hagen
beck circus when a crowd of six thous-
and people from the city failed to go
into a panic when there was grave dan
ger of fire destroying the big tent.
The show had been going on for about
an hour when one of the great gaso-
line lights used for lighting the main
tent fell with crash from the middle
of the tent pole where it had been
anchored. AS it fell to the floor there
was an explosion OF gasoline which
had been used in the lamp and in a
second the flames were being communi-
Gated to the tinsel and other trappings
about the rings. The perfectly train
ed men in charge of the rings did not
lose their heads for minute and Fire
Chief Henry Isermann, who was in the
main portion of the tent, leaped from
his seat and led the men in fighting
the flames. There was no actual dan
ger, but a much less fire would have
caused panic in many great crowds.
There was simply a warning "keep
your seats and the band played a
lively air and the people who thronged
the tent began to look on the exiting
uishing of the flames as a spectacle
that was part of the circus rather than
something for them to be afraid Of
In ten minutes the trouble had all been
cleared away and the performance
went on just as if nothing had hap
pened.
The show was show of thrills any
way and the people had been kept
busy looking at the unusual and the
sensational to such an extent that they
simple took the fire as part of the
entertainment Of the evening.
It might be said that the perform
anee given by the Wallace show was
about the best circus performance ever
given in Kcnosha. 1t was a real show
from every view point

TAKES UP WORK NEXT MONTH
Mr.. Maloney and Miss Lois North
way Will Have Full Management
Of the Main Street School in the
FuSure.

John B. Maloney who recently re-
signed his position as postmaster Of
the city, is to remain in business in
Kenosha as announcement was made
today that MIR. Maloney had accepted
the position of principal and head of
the commercial department of the Ke-
nosha Business College and he will be.
gin the duties Of his new position the
first of next month. It is understood
that Mr.. Maloney and Miss Lois
NorthWay, who was recently named as
manager of the Kenosha school have
purchased controlling interest in the
school and it will be entirely under
the management Of the two Kenosha
residents in the future.
Former Postmaster Maloney has had
the matter Of getting back into school
work under consideration for some
time and he has decided to give all
of his time to the business college
in the future.
The Kenosha Business College has
been in existence for several years
and it has gained an enviable reputa-
ton
Mr., Maloney is widely known as an
educator in Kenosha county and it was
in such a capacity that he first came
prominently before the people Of the
county. He began his work as teacher
in the public schools Of Kenosha serv-
ing Cor some time as principal of the
Weiskopf school. Sevsring his connec-
tion with the public schools Of the
city he accepted the Office Of county
superintendent which he held until he
resigned this Office to accept the Office
Of clerk Of the circuit court and later
he was appointed to the Office of post
master which office he held until he
resigned in April
Mr. MaIoney's wide acquaintance
throughout the county and his long
connection with educational and public
institutions will undoubtedly make him
very valuable man for the Kenosha
Business College.
Tie college for the present will re-
main in the quarters on the third
floor Of the Merchants and Savings
bank building, but it is probable that
in the near future new and more at
tractive quarters will be secured.

SHOWS ASSETS OF LARGE SUM
Business of tine Association has Shown
Steady Growth During the Past
Twelve Years-Interest Rate is Re
duceds

The annual meeting of the stock
Iolders of the Kenosha County Build
ing-Loan and Investment association
held at its Office over the First National
bank on the evening of Tuesday, June
20, 1911, was very interesting and a
great deal Of enthusiasm was exhibited
by the members present.
The reports Of the officers showed
that the association is in a prosperous
condition and is making good and
steady growth, The report showed
that the assets Of the association had
made gain of twenty-five per cent
during the past year. The assets OF
the association are now over $4,000.
The total receipts during the year
were nearly 100000.
President Newman in his address to
the members set forth the benefits
that the association is to the communi-
ty at large and dwelt strongly upon
the fact that the association encourag-
cd cooperation, to quote the president,
ga movement which is growing in the
world with every passing decade, a
movement which will one day be recog.
nized as one of the beautiful flowers
of civilization.
The bylaws Of the association were
changed so as to reduce the interest
paid by the borrower from sixty cents
a month on each one hundred dollars
to fifty cents month.
The object of the association is to
encourage people to be thrifty and
save their money and encourage the
building of homes, and provide plan
whereby the man building a home and
borrowing from the association viii
not pay more than the current rate of
interest for his loan and at the same
time by taking stock in the associa-
tion which earns him fair rate of
interest, create sinking fund which
the borrower pays in monthly INSTALL
ments, with the idea that in a few
years the sinking fund is large enough
to cancel his mortgage so that in a
few years he has his home free from
debt and is not obliged when the mort
gage is due, to pay the full amount
of the mortgage in one lump sum, as
is the case when the borrower obtains
straight loan.
Charles S. Jacobs, Louis J. Ham
mond, Michael j. Isermann and Henry
w. Reith were elected as directors for
a term of three years. The board of
directors as now constituted is as fol
lows: Samuel G. Newman, John c.
Johnson, D. J. Harf, A. f. Westin, J.
H. Cantwell, Jr., Henry J. Weinheim.

pose of electing officers for the ensu
ing year.

NOT SLICK ENOUGH FOR HERE
Men Were Working Old Game With a
Man Inside and Man Outside and
Sucker in Between but the Sucker
Squealed.


econ" men who Travelled in the
wake of the Wallace-Hagenbeck shows
in Kenosha on Tuesday left something
over a hundred dollars in the fine fund
of the municipal court before they got
out of the city Tuesday night. Police
and deputy sheriffs were busy all day
keeping a line on the bunch of sleek
well fed grafters who were evidently
following the show and for the most
part the officers managed to keep the
games suppressed.
A half dozen games were stopped by
Chief O'Hare and Sheriff Stahl dur
ing the day, but late in the afternoon
Police officers Newhouse and Wade
got wind of the fact that the old
games were working just outside the
show grounds and inside the limits of
the city. Louis Berkowitz was the in
formant and he insisted that he had
heen trimmed in an old fashioned film
fam game. The game was one of the
marble games with con man on the
inside and another on the outside with
the sucker in between them. Just how
much Berkowitz lost in watching the
marbles roll was not divulged, but the
amount is said to have been decidedly
small. He made a complaint to the
police and Wade and Newhouse picked
up George Lewis, James Martin and
James Murphy, the three men who
were alleged to have been working the
game. The three men were taken to
the municipal court without ceremony
and arraigned on charges Of gambling.
Lewis, who was alleged to have been
the operator of the game, was fined
$50 and costs and Murphy and Martin
who played che parts of Campers
for the game got $25 and costs. Just
to show Berkowitz that gambling
was a bad thing to go against, either
in or out of a circus, Judge Taylor
assessed him with fine of So and
costs. The three men who were strang-
ers, had no trouble raising the money
for their fines.
Alfred Thomas, man employed on
a steamer in the harbor, claimed to the
police that he had been film TANNED at
the circus but the man who was alleged
to have had the artistic touch was not
found and no arrests were made on
this complaint. One man complained
to the police that fortune teller at
the show had defrauded him out of
fifty cents, but the woman was not ar
rested as it was apparent that the
man had given up the half in hopes
of securing some sensational infor9na-
ton. He was simply dissatisfied with
the fortune that the sorceress read for
him.
In Waukegan score of burglars
followed in the wake of the circus. bnt
not a single robbery was reported to
the Kenosha police Office either last
night or this morning and there was no
report of short change or pickpocket
artists working in the crowds at the
circus last night
Police 0'Hare had a number of plain
clothes men in services and the crooks
got wise to this fact and evidently
failed to ply their trade in Kenosha
