rage to Nina Robinson of Dexters
corners, by Rev. Charles A. Kelley Of
the Methodist church of Chicago.
Miss Robinson was graduated from
the Chicago Baptist Training School

come as a complete surprise to many of
her friends in Chicago, as well as in
Kenosha. Only few near friends and
her immediate relatives were aware of
the approaching wedding. Mr.. Aber is
machinist at the Rambler Automobile
factory of Kenosha. They win make
their home here in this city in the very
near future.

Telephone Go. for First Time
in History of City De-
clines Toll Messages
HELLO GIRLS ARE sWANPED

The telephone company reached it's
limits on Friday and it was found i'm
possible to answer calls sent to and
from the city. The company has seven
wires to Chicago, five to Milwaukee
and three to Racine but even with this
equipment the company was unable to
take care of the business. Eight hun
dred calls between Chicago and Ken
osha were completed on Friday and
some of these conversations were over
long periods. For the first time in the
history of the telephone in Kenosha
the company was forced to decline toll
business Friday night the facilities of
the Office making it impossible to ham
die it. All day Friday phone orders
for Chicago and Milwaukee were tax
en- subject to delay. The young women
in charge of the toll boards worked
like Trojans during the day and the
work was so heavy that it was neces-
oRAy w pun vi CllCA SOhSJ opcldGOIS SSN-
eral times during the day. The bust
ness on Friday was seventy-fve per cent
greater than the ordinary business and
this accounted for the office being un-
able to take care of it. Calls were be-
ing taken until midnight last night
and after that hour the wires cleared
up little. The telegraph companies
had the same trouble and the business
done in Kenosha on Friday broke all
records along this line.
More than $4,000 words of press
matter were sent out of Pleasant Prai-
RE and Kenosha.
The young women in charge of the
boards at the telephone Office had trou-
bles of their own, however, as the in
struments were badly. broken and they
were forced to continue with faulty
instruments.
1t is reported that the service of the
company is now fully restored to all
points in the county. Many instru-
ments were broken by the explosion
and eight of them had to be replaced
with new phones.

EVENING NEWS TELLS STORY.
Waukegan and Racine Have First
News Of Explosion Through s'Extras. I,

The Evening News told the story of
The greatest explosion in the history of
the powder making business to the peo-
lple of Southern Wisconsin and northern
Illinois just before eleven O'Clock last
might when a special edition of 5000
copies was issued. Great crowds Of
people thronged Wisconsin street in
front of the News Office waiting for the
| first authentic news of the explosion
and in all parts OF the city people came
out of their houses and secured the de-
tailed reports bringing the first real
facts. The original account in the
News told the whole story of the ruin
that had been wrought by the explos-
ion. 500 Of the extra papers were sent
to Racine and an equal number to Wau-
kegan and in those cities people fought
with the boys having the papers to get
the news of the accident and in a few
minutes every paper was sold. People
on trains secured copies of the Evening
! News extra and carried them to Mil
waukee where they brought the first
real facts of the ruin notwithstanding
the fact that Milwaukee and Chicago
papers had both issued extra papers.
The story in the Kenosha special was
nearly all reproduced by Chicago and
Milwaukee papers notwithstanding the
fact that a score of special writer's
were sent to Kenosha on the first trains
to handle the story.

ARGUE MONOPOLY CLAUSE
City Attorney Stewart Agrees to Give
Companies Clearer Bill of Damag-
es Before Case is Called for Trial in
Court

The attorneys for the city Of Ken
posha and the attorneys for the Ken
osha Home Telephone company, the Cit
liens Telegraph and Telephone COM
pany and the Wisconsin Telephone COM
pany have declared truce in the $780,
600 damage suit recently brought by
the city against the companies and it
was stipulated at hearing on this case
in the Circuit court on Friday after
noon that any decision as to the merits
or dement's of the complaint filed by
the city would be held in allegiance I'M
til after the Supreme court of the state
decides on the suit brought by the city
against the Kenosha Home Telephone
company to enforce the furnishing of
free phones to the city. This case was
decided against the city in the Circuit
court and is now pending in the SUI
preme court and will be taken up at
the August term Of the court.
If the Supreme court sustains the
contention of the city and finds that
it is entitled to free phones under the
old Citizens company franchise there
will be no further cause to push the
matter.
Notwithstanding the stipulation the
attorneys spent several hours arguing
the motion made by the three telephone
companies demanding that the portions
OF the complaint alleging conspiracy
and the forming of a monopoly by the
companies be stricken out. It was held
by the attorneys that even if mon
opoly was established this fact would
in no way have any bearing upon the
necessity of the company taking over
the other franchises performing any
contract claimed by the city. They
held that the question Of monopoly was
in no way relevant question in the
decision of the fight between the city
and the three companies. The attor-
neys for the company insisted that the
claim of the city for $4,000 as dam
ages be made more specific and Attor-
neyi Stewart stipulated that he would
file an amended complaint in which he
would show the nature of the damages,
He declares that the item Of free tele-
phones alone in the term covered by
the contract will amount to a claim of
more than $4,000 on the part Of the
city and that the value of being able
to use the cross arms on poles now
standing in the city for the wires Of
the fire and police patrols will be worth
an added $4,000 to the city. He has
made no claim for interest on these
charges.
The attorneys for all of the compan-
les declared that they were hopeful
that a settlement could be reached in
the case without going into the courts
further and that the companies still
held the position on free phones that
had been originally announced by them.
The attorneys insisted that the com
panies would be willing to grant the
demands of the city if they were shown
the way to get around the laws of the
Railroad Commission.
