NEW COMPLICATIONS IN SIGHT
wisconsin Bond Holders May Seek to
Kick Over Agreement for Final Dis
position Of the Lines of the Com
pany. Early Action Sure.

j. A. EDoane, former clerk in the of
fees of former Superintendent J. j.
Downs of the Chicago and Milwaukee
Electric railway company has been
named as Superintendent Of Transpor-
tation of the road and he will take up
practically all of the duties formerly
in charge of the general superinten-
dent. Doane has been connected with
the operation of the road for several
years and is we'll acquainted with all
the demands of the company upon the
Superintendent.
He will begin the duties of his new
office at once. The new receiver of
the road has not as yet made any an
nouncement of the policy in regard to
entering Chicago but it is understood
that something will be done along this
line within the next few weeks. While
it was generally believed that there
would be no division among the bond
holders OF the company it is declared
now that there is still possibility of
a division of the road. The Wiscon-
sin division bond holders while they
have pooled interests with the Illinois
bond holders have shown signs of with
drawing their consent for reorganiza-
zion. 1t is expected, however, that
Judge Grosscup in the United States
court will hold the bond holders to
their original agreement and it is ex-
pected that he will hand down some
decision just as soon as the present re-
ceiver for the company makes his sug-
gestions as to the final destiny of the
road.
The Investment Registry company,
limited, of London, the owner of the
Kenosha Electric Railway is one of the
heavy holders of bonds of the company
and 1t is possible that the Kenosha
road may be brought into the muddle
before it is settled, The London com
pany has been in charge of the Ken
osha road for nearly three years and
it is understood that the operation of
the line has been entirely satisfactory
to the London capitalists interested.
The reports of the company for the
past three years do not indicate the
paying of any large amount in divi-
dends but in that time considerable
work has been done in extending the
lines operated by the company and the
investment at the present time is at
least a third larger than it was when
the London company took over the pro-
perty from A. G. Frost. 1t is declared
that while there is a community of in
terests between the Chicago and Mil
Waukee and the Kenosha Electric Rail
way companies that the business of
the Kenosha company has been kept
entirely separate from the business of
the through line.
Judge Grosscup has declared that he
will call for final settlement Of the
affairs of the through line early in
April and it is pretty certain that some
thing will be done at that time. Of
course the recent troubles of A. G.
Frost may eliminate him from any con-
sideration in the reorganization of the
company.

The order doing away with the Sun
day deliveries of mail at the carriers
windows was a general one covering
all of the post offices in the country
and hereafter all the Sunday work the
carriers will be required to do will be
to make the regular collections. The
postal service is being reorganized
from top to bottom and this latest gen
eral order is along the line of others
issued since the work of putting the
department upon business basis was
inaugurated designed to relieve employ
ees of the different Offices throughout
the country of lot of unnecessary la
Dor. A short time ago all of the post
offices were required to furnish the de-
partment statistics of all of the work
performed in each Office Of whatever
nature and the order stopping the Sun
day deliveries at carriers windows
which will give each carrier in the ser
vice three Sundays a month off duty
is probably one of the first results of
a study of the information obtained
by the chiefs of the postal service from
these statistics. Most of the mail de-
livered on Sundays goes through the
boxes or the general delivery window
and the conclusion was evidently
reached that the benefits to the pat,
rons of the post Offices through the de
liveries at the carriers windows were
not commensurate with the amount of
extra labor making them entails on the
carriers

The passage of more stringent mar

The passage of more stringent mar
riage laws by the state of Michigan is
likely TO restore to kenosha all its old
glories as Gretna Green for couples
from all over this section of the coun-
try. For time the passage of the
five day license law by the Wisconsin
legislature put a complete stop to the
coming of outsiders bent on matrimony
TO the city but it was soon found that
a special license could be obtained
without too much trouble and the num-
Der of couples coming to the city has
been steadily increasing for the past
year. Now business in this line is ex-
pected to boom and the people who
make little something out of the com
ms Of the couples are preparing to ex-
end welcoming hand to all corners.

There may be some popular crit
cism of the heads of the Milwaukee
Fire Department following the disaster
of Friday but there will be none from
the men in the department.. Their duty
is to put out fires and they know that
in doing it they must often go into
positions of extreme peril. They ac-
cept all these chances without question
as part of the regular daily routine of
their lives.

Good work in getting in delinquer

Good work in getting in delinquent
city taxes before the books were turn
ed over to the county treasurer cut
down the outstanding Indebtedness to
about the usual amount. When the
books were closed on the last day set
for the collection of taxes it looked
very much as if the sale of tax titles
in May would be record breaker.

STRIKES ADD TO
GENERAL TERROR

Mexico City, Nov. Ito the wave
of revolution that has menaced the
welfare of Mexico for the past eigh-
teen months now is added the threat
Of general strikes throughout the
country. Economic conditions have
been far from good for some time
past and the general hard times, par
ticularly in Torreon, San Luis Potosi
and Puebla, have precipitated strikes
in these places.
Troops have been ordered to Tor
reon, the principal strike center. Re-
ports from there today state that the
situation is becoming more serious.
The employees of the electric light,
rubber and smelter plants owned by
Ernesto Madero became dissatisfied
and struck for higher wages and
shorter hours. II Is understood that
Ernesto Madero was here a few days
ago, the government troops being
sent to Torreon Immediately after
President Madero today reiterated
his statement that he would crush
the rebellions throughout the repub-
lie saying that the time for tempor-
izing has passed.

FIGHT GOMPER'S
IN CONVENTION
Labor Delegates Don't want
Him Allied With Civic
Federation.

New York. Nov. 17.--It was said
today in labor circles that deter
mined effort was to be made at the
present convention Of the American
Federation of Labor at Atlanta, Ca,
TO force President Gompers to sever
all relations with the National civic
Federation. II he fails to comply with
this demand a resolution Is to be in
troduced by the radical element OF
the federation demanding his retire
ment as vice president of the civic
organization.
Gompers will be advised, II ssald.
that II he insists upon remaining an
officer OF the civic federation he will
not be reelected president of the la
Dor federation.
Like Demand on Mitchell.
The labor element which is oppos-
ed to Gompers acting as an officer of
both bodies is made up of machin-
lists and the men Of kindred trades
who so vigorously approved the ae-
tion Of the United Mine Workers
when that organization gave John
Mitchell the choice Of losing his $3.-
600 a year job as its president. or Civ
Ing up a $4,000 a year job with tho
Civic Federation, as chairman of the
trade agreements department. Mr..
Mitchell decided to remain with his
own people.
The case with Mr. Gompers is diff
ferent| lie receives no pay from the
Civic Federation, but is on precisely
the same footing as the other officers
among whom are Seth Low. the presi-
dent; John Hays Hammond. Alton b.
Parker, Nicholas Murray Butler and
Ellison A. Smith
The feeling among some Of the la
Dor leaders Is that constant association
with the rich and influential will
finally cause Gompers TO shift his
sympathies from labor to capital.

In 1888 he bought the New York
World from Jay Gould. He was elect

In 1887 he suffered nervous break
down, which was followed by total
blindness. From that time, although
he continued TO guide and control the
policy of his newspapers, Mr.. Pulitzer
lived In practical retirement. He had
one of the most expensive households
in America. He had n home in New
York. a fine estate at Bar Harbor and
another country place on Jekyl island,
off the Georgia coast; also he usually
had two or three places abroad under
lease and a 1900 ton steam yacht that
added 100000 a year to his expendl-
lures.
His blindness made IL necessary for
him 10 have large personal staff. No
man kept more closely in touch with
