BREAK BREWERS HOLD.
Suit Started in Milwaukee
Interesting to Saloon Men
and Officials Here.
BREWERS CONTROL. BUSINESS.

Milwaukee has Joined in the crusade
started by saloon men in different parts
of the state to test the validity of the
Baker law relating to the issuance of
saloon licenses by the city councils of
the cities Of the state and the city Of
Milwaukee has decided to make a test
case to secure an opinion from the
supreme court on the question of issu-
ing licenses for buildings other than
those used for saloons in 1907 without
the property owner giving a1written
statement that he has refused to lease
the property for saloon purposes. The
Milwaukee aldermen claim that the en-
forcement of this law makes it posi-
bic for the big brewing companies to
practically control the location of sa-
looms. They assert that in Milwaukee
as well as in all of the principal cities
of the state the breweries has pur-
chased practically all of the property
suitable for saloon purposes and that it
is impossible for q man to get into the
business unless he is willing to submit
to the rules. of the game as laid down
by the breweries.
Kenosha people who have made a
study of the saloon problem/will take
great interest in the suit to be start
ed in Milwaukee 1t is almost identi-
cal with the suit recently started in
the circuit court of Kenosha county to
test the right of the city to transfer
the license from 260 Main street to 541
Grand avenue.
Saloon men in Kenosha are making
a great cutlery against the rule of the
brewers and they declare that even in
Kenosha there is no longer a chance
for man to be independent in the
saloon business on account Of the fact
that the brewers secure leases on build
ings and force the man who wants to
go into the business TO accept terms
which are unfair to him, but always
remunerative to the brewery. In near
ly every one of the saloons recently
established in Kenosha the brewery is
the owner OF the building or the lease
on it, the owner of the fixtures and in
many cases the owner of the license
although it is issued in the name OF
the man who is supposed to operate the
place. This brewery domination is al
ways in evidence aud just as soon as
the saloon man revolts against condi
tions imposed he is out of the business
The saloon men are beginning to ap
preciate the fact that it is necessary
to break the hold of the brewers on
the business in retail lines.

POSTMASTER TO RECOMMEND
New Rule to Govern the Appointment
of Rural Mail Carriers.

A new method governing appoint
ments Of rural carriers is announced by
the postoffice department. Heretofore
rural carriers have been appointed
without recommendation from postmas
tiers, the rule being that the candidates
having the highest examination rating
should receive the appointments re-
CARELESS of moral or other qualifca-
tions. The result has been in some
cases to admit into the service rural
carriers who were not fitted for the
service. The new rule gives postmas-
tiers an opportunity of making recon-
mendations from list Of three elig-
ibles, the top three, as is now the rule
in city carrier and clerk appointments.
The rule was changed on the execu-
tive order of President Taft who also
warns rural carriers from participation
in politics in the following language:
"Persons employed as rural carriers
while retaining the right to vote as
they please, and to express their opin-
ions privately on all political sub
jects, snail take no active part in poll
teal management or in political cam
Ipaigus. Any rural carrier taking such
part shall be removed from the service
or otherwise disciplined, recommends
ton as to the penalty to be imposed in
each case to be made by the Civil Serv-
ice commission -

LOCAL co. WANTS HICKLEs
Local Railway Managers Make Empha-
tic Denial of Charge that Cars Failed
to Take Care of Passengers of West
Side Line at Night

Officials of the Milwaukee Electric
Railway and Light Company in Keno
sha emphatically deny that any effort
is being made by the local manage
ment to interfere with the convenience
of people travelling on the Chicago and
Milwaukee Electric Railway and it is
declared that complaints Of local cars
failing to wait for passengers coming
in on the Chicago and Milwaukee road
are without foundation in fact. The
officials of the Milwaukee company in
charge Of the operation of the local
cars declare that every possible conces-
sion is being made in order to take care
of the passengers coming into Kenosha
on the cars running along the west
limits and Notwithstanding the fact
that there is, community of interests
between the Kenosha Electric Railway
Company and the Milwaukee Electric
Railway and Light Company, operating
the M. r. and K. lines that the orders
from headquarters provide that every
possible effort must be made to take
care of passengers coming into Keno
sha over the lines of the Chicago and
Milwaukee road. The charges are the
same as were made by the patrons of
the M. R. and K. line at the time the
II L. +aI W
interests friendly to the Chicago aud
Milwaukee Electric line.
One Of the officials in charge of the
business of the company said Friday
evening: eve are after the nickels in
Kenosha and the men in charge of the
cars have received orders to get every
fare they can. There is absolutely no
desire on the part Of the officials of the
local line to in any way interfere with
the traffic OF the Chicago and Milwau-
kee and if passengers coming into Ke-
nosha over that line were incon-
venienced and forced to walk down
town it was due to the fact that the
cars Of that line were so off schedule
that it would have been impossible for
the local cars to make their schedule
by waiting for the arrival Of these
cars. There is no fight on between the
two companies and the local company
is trying to handle every passenger pos
sible. Of course there are times when
cars are off the schedule time and at
such times it is impossible for the To-
cal cars to be held The complaint all
comes from the cars that reach the city
Just before the local cars go to the
barn for the night and at such times
it is just possible that the men are a
little over anxious to get the ears into
the barns.
The local officials have promised to
take up the complaint with the proper
officials in Milwaukee. General Man
ager Stearns, who is vice president of
the Kenosha company, has given the
members of the council the assurance
that the schedules Of the local company
are arranged so as to give the best pos
sible traffic arrangements to the people
regardless of what line they are using
for interurban traffic.

FOR STATE RESERVATION.
Boy Scouts of Kenosha Interested in
Movement for Organization.


Kenosha Boy Scouts organizations are
greatly interested in the movement
now on foot to purchase state reser-
walton for the Boy Scouts of Wiscon-
sin, and it is probable that they will
unite in the project.
| Kenosha was one of the first cities to
enter into the Boy Scout movement,
and has membership in the different
organizations of several hundred, so
its cooperation in the movement is
greatly desired.
| One of the sites considered for such
a reservation where the Scouts Of Wis
consin could gather each summer is
Bonnie View, about two and one-half
miles from Valley Junction. A natural
lake and adjoining farm, with a num-
Der of cottages, the site of a camping
resort, are points in its favor.
The purpose is to have in Wisconsin
for the Boy Scouts second "bov
city such as was held last year in In
DINA. The farm, with its thirty acres
iof cranberries, would be worked by
the boys in the summer and would be,
the source of considerable income. Edu-
cationaI recreation would be provided
as in no other place.
Efforts may be made to have the
farm, which is a part of camping
resort, bought by company of men
interested in the Boy Scouts. After
purchase the grounds would be self
supporting. All state patrols of the
Boy Scouts would be welcome to camp
at the farm for one or two weeks each
summer.

SEEK MISSING MAN.
Police Seeking Andrew Kgellen, Miss.
ing Since Last Tuesday Evening.

The police of the city are making an
effort to find some trace of Andrew
Kgellan, aged "a years, who has been
mysteriously missing from his home at
8l3 Erie street since last Tuesday
evening. Kgellen left his home to go
to one of the stores in the neighborhood
and has not been heard from since.
Friends of the man spent two days
searching for him and finally an appeal
was made to the police by Mrs. Kgel-
len. She can gives EMO reason for the
strange actions of her husband and is
inclined to believe that he has met
with an accident or with foul play. It
is declared that there had been no
troubles of family nature and for
this reason it is impossible to assign
any cause for the man leaving his
home.

WAS TRACED into ILLINOIS
Sheriff and Deputies Seeking Man Who
is Alleged to Have Stolen Horse and
Runabout from the Mungen Stables
on Friday Morning.

Sheriff Stahl and posse Of deputies
are scoring Northern Illinois and South
ern Wisconsin in an effort to get some
trace of a bay mare and lrunabout rent
ed at the Mungen livery stables on
Friday morning, which is supposed to
have been stolen and it is thought that
the man who secured it is making an
effort to get into Chicago with it. The
man had clever ruse to secure pos
session Of the turnout and it is believed
that he is clever enough to slip away
from the officials. The mare and the
runabout are valued at $3.50.
Just after CLOCK Friday morning
the man went to the Mungen stables
He gave his name as " Haughton" and
declared that he was a resident of Mil
waukee and that he desired to drive
out to Pleasant Prairie to buy the
grocery store Of HI. "A. King. The story
was plausible one and the man gave
no indication that he was anything ex-
cept what he had represented. How
ever, in order to be safe in the matter,
one of the men went over to the hotel
and found that a man bearing the
name of Haughton was registered at
the hotel The man objected to the
first turnout offered him ard insisted
on having the best thing in the stable.
This aroused suspicion and when the
man drove out into the country he
was followed by one of the men from
the barn. He appeared to be going di-
rectly to the King store, and in fact he
did go there, but stopped but minute
and then took a straight course South.
Mungen finally became worried when
the horse was not returned to the stable
late in the afternoon and he went to
the hotel to find out something in re-
gard to "Haughton. He found that
Mr.. Haughton, who is a well known
salesman had been at the hotel most
of the day, had promptly paid his bill
in the afternoon and had gone to Mil
waukee. Then the case was reported
to the police department and the sheriff
and his men were sent out in all direc
tions in an effort to get some trace of
the horse and runabout and the man.
Sheriff ~Stahl and Peter Mungen
went out in an automobile and this
morning a telephone message received
declared that they had traced the man
as far as Libertyville, but that there all
trace of him had been lost All roads
leading out of Libertyville are being
covered by the officers. No warrant
was issued for the arrest of the man,
but the livery stable owner now feels
convinced that the fellow was a
clever worker and that he used the
name of Haughton to give color to
his story. At the King store no infor-
nation could be secured. King had not
expected any one during the day and
while the man stopped there he said
nothing about purchasing the store.
The police officers believe that the
man is member of the gang of horse
thieves who have worked for years with
q base about Libertyville and they are
hopeful that they will be able to I'M
earth the rendezvous of the gang.
