Charging that the primary consid-
Grafton of a corporation was the de-
claring of dividends, and that the
protection of lives of the people it
served was but secondary consider
alton, Mayor Lachmund last evening,
in urging the passage of his ordi-
nance pDoviding that the doors of the
street cars of the Portland Railway,
Light & Power Company must remain
unlocked, and that the company must
provide conductors for all of it's lines,
left the mayors chair long enough
last night at the meeting lof the coun
Gil to remind that body that it was its
duty to look after and protect the
lives of the people.
Just at the close of his scathing
remarks concerning the company's
conduct, in directing its employees to
lock the rear door of the cars when
the conductors left them at the
switches.in charge of the motormen,
Roland Page, manager of the COM
pany, wandered into the chamber.
When the mayor had concluded he
asked permission to address the
council, but the mayor interposed an
objection, and, as it requires unani-

the floor. After the ordinance had
passed he again asked per1ission,
but again the mayor objected, and
again he failed. Laboring under the
impression that the corporation man
ager might seek to have the ordi-
nance resonsidered, the mayor, just
moment or so after it had been passed,
reached over to the clerks desk and
affixed his signature to it, and it is
now law, and can only be nullified
by being repealed.
No Conductor; Door Locked.
For some time the Portland Rail-
way, Light & Power company has
pursued the policy Of having the reg
ular conductor abandon its cars at
the switches of its different lines,
leaving the car in charge of the mo-
torman. Recently the company
adopted an order directing that when
the conductor should leave the car
and it be left in charge of the mo-
torman that the rear door should be
locked and the entrance and exit be
made through the front door.
The ordinance introduced by the
mayor and passed, makes it compul-
Sorry upon the company, not only to
leave all doors unlocked, but also to
maintain conductors upon all the
lines.
What Might Happen.
After declaring that the primary
object of a corporation was gain
not only the Portland Railway, Light
d Power company, but all of them,
and that they care nothing about the
safety Of human beings, and that it
devolved upon the council to look af-
ter the safety of the people the
mayor pointed out what might hap
pen with no conductor on the car and
the door locked.
Suppose when the car is without
a conductor and the back door Is
locked" he said, that the motorman
Should lose control of his car, what
would be the result. The car moves

would be through the front door or

Should be burned out and the car be
enveloped in smoke and flames and

would be the result with this soli-
tary exit?"

HARSH WORDS TO HIDE HIS
TEARS.

Councilman Waring had the tenn
Gritty to arise in his chair last even
ing and ask what was the present
status of the movement to secure
mountain water for the city of Salem
and he was soundly reprimanded by
Councilman purbin, which was as it
should be because who really has any
right to talk or ask questions on that
subject but Durbin.
Still Waring was hardly to blame
he was the creature of circum-
stances for the moment. Council
man Elliot had reminded the coun-
Gil that the old water committee had
bill from McNary & McNary for
services in connection with the legal
phases of the movement for securing
pure water. He had had 1t for six
months or more he said and it had
been held on the theory that it was
to be paid out of the water fund, but
it did not look now as though the
city would ever have one and he
wanted to know what he should do
with it.

Revives Memories.

Now that little discussion revived
in the mind of Councilman Waring
memories of the remote heretofore,
in regard to a movement having for
its object the purchase of the water
plant of the Salem Water company,
and he wanted to know what the
committee was doing in regard to 1t.
He reminded the council that the
committee had made a majority re-
port suggesting that certain sum
be offered for the plant and that he
had made a minority report which
had been lost, and he naturally,
therefore, thought that the majority
members had confidence enough in
their own convictions on the subject
to try and carry them into avecution.

NNEs, ORCHESTRAL BAND.

The opening attraction at the Coli
scum Music Hall will be the Innes Or
ehestral band of New York, which with
a large chorus now being organized
and the two soloists, Beatrice Van
Loon, soprano, and Litkowski, the great
Polish tenor and st. James Episcopal
choir of Milwaukee, fifty voices, will
give two performances on the nights of
Monday and Tuesday, June 20 and q.
This band holds a unique position in
the world of music. The organization
is the only one of lis kind, occupying
as it does field midway between the
Symphony Orchestra and the usual So
called Concert Band. This result is
brought about partly by novel com
bination of instruments, but in the
main it is owing to the original meth
obs of Innes himself. Even as a young
lad, playing an instrument in the band
of Her Majesty's First Life Guards,
Innes had in him the undeveloped MAX
ing of great director. He was a tire
less worker and restless thinker and he
soon began to see that there were great
possibilities in band that appealed to
all classes, to those who love music for
the rhythm and brightness it brings as
well as to the scholarly musician who
enjoys the technical side and perfec-
tion of the performance.
Innes resolved to have such a band
of his own some day and so when the
opportunity came it found him prepar-
ed for the evolutionary changes which
have earned a worldwide fame for his
organization.

CAPPELLE PAYS FINE.
Man Charged With Looting Restaurant
Till Pays $40 and Costs Monday.

Louis Cappelle, arrested on Sunday
on charge of having 'Etouched the
till at the City Restaurant was ar
raigned before Judge Randall late
Monday afternoon on a charge of petty
larceny and was fined $40 and the costs
of the action which he paid. Before
this time the entire amount of money
taken from the restaurant till had been
returned to Proprietor S. E. Walker
and lie did not desire to prosecute the
man on higher charge. The attorney
found that the money had been taken
"a small amount at a time during
the night and for this reason the lighter
charge was made against Cappelle.
The police are still looking for the
men who are alleged to have gambled
with the restaurant man and it is claim
ed that they are Waukegan men. If
they can be found they will be arrest
ed on charges of violating the gambling
laws.

GETS GOOD POSITION.
Dr. NJ. A. Bernstein Named as Senior
Physician for Big Hospital.

DR.. M. A. Bernstein, the latest adj
dition to the force Of Kenosha doctors
and who has been in practice in the
city for the last two months, was mott
fed this morning that he had been
named as senior physician for the Cook
County Infrmary at Oak Forest and
he will leave for Chicago at once to
accept the position. The institution is
one of the largest institutions of Cook
county, having more than 5000 patients.
DR.. Bernstein was formerly connected
with the board of health in Chicago and
previous to that he was one Of the
physicians in charge of the Dunning
hospital for the insane. The position
to which he has been appointed is one
of the best in the gift of the officials
of Cook county. DR.. Bernstein grad
uated from the Northwestern Medical
school three years ago and he is one
of the youngest men to be appointed
to such a high position of trust in
Chicago.

sewer would be more satisfactory con-
structed entirely of concrete. The re-
port of the committee was adopted by
unanimous vote of the council and
later motion was made by which the
clerk was directed to change the speci-
hcatlons to meet this change. The
change is said to be entirely satisfac-
tory to the contractors. Superintendent
Green in charge of the work declares
that he will be ready to lay concrete
within the next few days. The con-
tractors had complained that it had
been hard for them to get the lines for
the work, but from now on there will
be no delay along these lines. The
council took up the question of just
where the sewer is to be laid on streets
where a portion of the street is in the
city and a portion in the town of Pleas
ant Prairie and it was decided that the
sewer should not be laid in the center
of the street, but on the property of
the city.
1t is now thought that all the minor
details in connection with the sewer
have been closed up and that the con-
tractors can proceed with the work
without further delays for any purpose.
The machinery to be used in digging
the sewer is all in Kenosha and it will
be started just as soon as the sewer is
completed over Durkee avenue. 1t is
probable that work will also be started
on the west end of the sewer where
there will be lot Of tunnel work to
be done and the Cleary, White, New
man company will sublet this work to
some other contractor. The officials
of the company insist that they will
have no trouble completing the work
by the time set in the contract and
that means that the big sewer will be
opened from the west end of the city
to the lake by the first day of Deem
Der.

TO Be ENTIRELY Of CONCRETE
City Council Votes to Change specifica-
lions and Contract Price is to be
Reduced by ss,2oo-Will Not De-
lay Work.

City Engineer Robert III. Moth is to
nave just one thing to demand his at
tentlon during the next six months and
that is the new trunk sewer. Believing
that the sewer was the biggest piece
OF construction work ever done in Ke-
nosha the city council at it's meeting
on Monday evening decided to take the
city engineer away from all other work
OF his Office and leaving it in the hands
OF his assistants. Engineer Moth was
instructed to go on the trunk sewer
and remain there all the time until the
the big project is completed. Mr.. Moth
has been connected with the making
OF the plans for the sewer since the
hrst start was made and if there is
any one in Kenosha that knows lust
what is demanded for the sewer it is
the city engineer. The work Of the
department in the past has been pretty
heavy, but it is the plan of the council
to turn all of this work over to Assis-
tant Engineer Brennan and other as
sistants in the office and permit Mr..
Moth to see to it that the sewer is
built along the specifications and that
the plans are carried out to the letter.
This will give the sewer the highest
possible grade Of inspection. The fact
that Mr.. Moth is to be on the Job will
not interfere with the work of Inspec-
tor Hoban as Mr.. Moth goes to repre-
sent the city as an engineer and not
as an inspector.
The council finally decided against the
lnvert for the sewer and the big sewer
will be built entirely of concrete. The
street assessment committee brought a
report to the council in which it was
stated that the engineer of the city and
the engineers of the contractors had
agreed on the amount to be deducted
from the contract if the change was
made and that the amount was $4,000.
The committee recommended that the
change be made declaring that it was
the opinion Of the committee that the

The first drowning accident OF the
season gives solemn warning of the
hangers always attendant on wading or
swimming in unknown waters and par
away from swimming holes" and Sc
cluded places along the river and lake
front and do their bathing at the NUM-
cipal bathing beach where they are
supposed to be under some sort of SUI
pervision all of the time. The bathing
beach is one of the busiest places in the
city most of the day and far into the
night and it is almost impossible for
any swimmer to get into trouble with
out attracting the attention of the
other bathers, the spectators, or some
OF the attendants. The chances of
swimmer who has been suddenly seized
with cramps or who gets beyond his
depth being rescued and resuscitated
are better at the municipal bathing
beach than anywhere along the water
front for besides the regular attendants
the services of the members of the life
saving crew can be obtained without
any delay. 1t is true that charges
were made at times last summer that
proper order was not always maintain
ed at the beach and that it was not
always proper place for young child
rem to go, but these evils can be RENE
died in short order if they appear again
this year. If the fathers and mothers
of the children of the city make up
their minds that the municipal bathing
beach is the safest place for them and
will give very little time and atten-
tion to seeing to it that the surround
ings at the beach are what they should
be they can soon make and keep the
beach at all times what it was intended
1T should be, a clean and safe place
for the people of the city, not resort
for hoodlums. The beach belongs to
the people of the city and they can
have the best of order maintained
there the coming summer if they insist
upon it. The beach should be for the
children of the city and their elders
who know how to behave themselves
and all who go in swimming" should
be strongly urged to use it and they
should also be given the assurance that
they will have no unpleasant expert
ences if they do. Then we shall get
through the summer with fewer of these
distressing and unnecessary drowning
accidents.

If irl>75 years the present supply OF
timber In this country willsbe exhaust
ed, at the present rate Of consumption,
the admonition toaplants trees becomes
eloquent with meaning. There is
great value inatrees, says the Kansas
CitY'Tfmes. The big lumber fortunes
have been made in The main, not in
buying and selling lumber, nor even
in manufacturing lumber for sale, but
jim buying vast tracts of timber land
and holding them for the inevitable
advances In timber prices incfdent to
the rapidly decreasing supply. Now,
it would not profit any man or cor
poraticn to buy large areas OF land
that could be profitably used for agri-
culture, fruit growing or grazing, and
set them in trees; but 1t would be
profitable for all who own timber
lands that could not be proftably
used for other purposes to maintain
them as permanent forests, using
only the matured trees and cutting
them and clearing the slash in such
way as to give the best possible pro-
lection to the immature timber. Al
so, it would be profitable to every
owner OF land to plant trees on any
part Of it that cannot be utilized for
other purposes. Ii this great nation
could inspire It's landholders with
this one purpose for given time, to
the end that all land that should be
planted with trees would be SO plant
ed, the problem of the future lumber
supply would be solved.

warden at Madison had been sold and
that they were served on Madison
tables on Monday evening. The game
warden has explained that the fish
were taken on account of the fact that
there were more than twenty pounds

Work ON the Trunk Sewer
Started; Large Force of
Men Being Put to Work
CONTRACTORS ARE OPTIMISTIC

The'r off for the big sewer. In
keeping with the demand of the re-
leases secured by the city, the actual
work of construction for the big sewer
is now on and force of men with
plows, picks and shovels have begun
the work of digging the big ditch.
The work will go slowly during the
opening stages of building the sewer
on account of the fact that the nature
of the land will make it impossible
to get in the big machines for digging
until after the ditch is completed TO
Ashland avenue.
Under the terms of the contract the
company must have the sewer complet-
ed by the first of December or pay the
city penalty of fifty dollars a day
and the provision of the penalty is
counted on to keep the contractors
busy rushing the work. The forms for
the building of the concrete are on the
ground and the big machinery to be
used in digging and mixing will be on
hand by the time the contractors are
ready for it. The completion of the
outlet will be the first thing to be taken
up and as soon as this is completed
the contractors will be ready to start
pouring the concrete for the main sew
err People in the south and west sides
of the city were holding praise meet
ings Wednesday night when it became
known that the actual work of con
struction had been started on the big
sewer.
In the meantime the contractors are
making an effort to get some settle
ment of the question as to whether
brick or cement shall be used for the
invert of the sewer. City Engineer
Moth and the engineers for the COM
pany have held several conferences and
they have reached the agreement that

factory to both the contractors and to
the members of the common council,
but it will not be necessary to take
any action in the matter until the next
meeting of the council. It is probable
that the contractors would be able to
work out way to get brick if it is
determined by the council that it is
necessary to use the brick. The city
engineer has been in communication
with the brick men and it is declared
that if it becomes absolutely necessary
the big brick makers will strain point
to get the brick to Kenosha 1t is
probable that the work Of digging the
ditch will be far enough advanced in
ten days to make possible the use of
the brick for the invert. A majority
of the members of the council have
expressed themselves in favor of the
concrete invert if the company makes
the pro rebate to the city.
