EQUAL SUFFRAGE DANCE

The Kenosha Political Equality
League last night took the initiative
in giving an equal suffrage" dance.
Guild Hall was tastefully decorated
in yellow and white to receive those
eager to dance for suffrage The stage
was banked with palms, the balcony
festooned with yellow chrysanthemums,
the lights subdued with yellow petals,
while hanging baskets gave a general
Woodsy appearance to the hail. The
American flag was everywhere in evil
dence. In the dining room a large
bouquet of yellow chryanthemums
stood in the center of the table on
either side of which steamed a silver
coffee urn. Ice cream, cake and cof-
fee were served by women whose
gowns were decorated with broad
hands of yellow ribbon bearing the
words "Vote for Women
AS the guests arrived they were re-
ceived by Misses Thomas, Wells, and
Bacon of Kemper Hall.
The Benson Orchestra Of Chicago
furnished music and rendered among
other numbers the Suffrage Two Step
The guests were so enthusiastic over
the dance that they employed the or
chestra for an additional hour and
danced into the wee small hours of
the morning.
Among the patrons and patronesses
appear the following names. Mr.. and
Mrs. Harry Baldwin, DR.. and Mrs.
Farr, Mr.. and Mrs. Morgan Price, Mr..
and Mrs. a. ]. Palica, Mr. and Mrs.
Roy Dorr, Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Barden,

AIKEN GETS PATENT.
Winthrop Harbor Man Gets Patent
for Cement Construction.

Although the device has been in use
for some time, Robert Aiken of Win
throp Harbor has just received word
from Washington that he has been
granted patent on his method and
apparatus for constructing concrete
buildings. Mr.. Aiken Of the Aiken En-
gineering Company; already has used
his method and device for constructing
several concrete buildings since he fl
ed an application for a patent. One
of these buildings is the Methodist
church in Zion City.
The device which Mr.. Aiken patent
ed makes the erecting Of concrete
buildings much easier. His idea is to
have each Of the four walls of build
ing constructed fat upon the ground,
and then to raise them into vertical
position upon the foundations. When
the Methodist church in Zion City was
erected in this manner it called forth
considerable comment as the idea was
completely new. It is claimed that
the device can be erected much quick
Ell and better in this manner than by
the old fashiored way of putting up
concrete buildings.
The device is arranged in such a
way that the concrete wall may be
raised into place very easily after it
has been formed. After the four
walls have been put in position they
are cemented together, solidly and
roof put on in the usual manner In
addition to the church in Zion City It
is said that several of these concrete
buildings have been built in various
cities along the north shore.

CORNER STORE SETS RECORD.
Play Given for st. Thomas Church Fills
Opera House Second Time.

The Corner Drug Store the farce
given by the St. Thomas Dramatic
Club had its second production in a
month at the Rhode Opera House on
Thursday evening and it drew to the
house one of the largest audiences of
the year. The performance was even
more clever than at the first produc-
ton and many new features had been
added. The songs and dances given
by the young people won a continual
round Of applause. The st. Thomas
Club is now planning TO go on the road
and performances are to be given in
Racine and Milwaukee during the
next few weeks. One thing is GER
tain and that is that the production
is by all measures the best ever put on
by amateurs in Kenosha.

Nothing is known here as to the

The loss involved in a general strike

would be tremendous. The strikers
themselves would suffer the irrecover-
able loss Of wages unearned, many
Unions would deplete their funds, the
railroads already feeling the effects
of slack business would find their re-
coyery seriously checked, the general
business of the nation would be seri-
ously clogged, and consumers, the in

as usual, would repay the eventual

10 OPEN PLANT EARLY IN MAY
Plant at Goa, City ILL.,, win Be Kept
in Operation Until New Plant at
Kenosha Is Hope to Move the
Entire Plant by Middle of June.

The first meeting Of the stockholders
of the Macomber and Whyte Rope
Company of Wisconsin was held at the
ofnces OF Cavanagh and Barnes On
Thursday afternoon and the formal or
ganization of the company was com
pleted with the election of officers.
George S. Whyte was elected presi-
dent of the company and he will be
the resident manager of the big plant
to the north of the city. T. B. Ma
comber was named as vice president
and secretary, and j. w. Johnston as
treasurer. The last two named officials
will be in charge Of the general. sell
ing offices of the company in Chicago.
These Offices will not be removed to
Kenosha at this time.
President Whyte was seen after the
meeting and he declared that the work
at the new plant was going forward
SO rapidly that the company expected
to begin the work of moving shortly
after the first of May and that it was
expected that the entire plant at
Ropeville would be in operation by the
middle of June. More than a hundred
men will be employed at the plant
when it is opened and it is expected
that the number will be largely in
creased within a few months.
"We shall not close up our plant at
Coal City until the Kenosha plant is
fully ready for operation, said
President Whyte. "What we plan to
do is to start operations in Kenosha
and keep the Coal City plant in opera
ton so that the change in location
can be made without seriously inter
fering with the business. Much Of the
machinery for the new plant is new
machinery and it can be set up and
be placed in operation before we start
moving the machinery from the other
plant. We shall abandon the plant at
Coal City just as soon as we have clear
sailing in Kenosha. do not know
how many Of the men now employed
at Coal City will follow the plant to
Kenosha, but we expect quite a num-
Der Of them to come with us. We
expect to build up great industry
in Kenosha. y
The buildings of the new plant are
being built Of brick and concrete with
tile roofs and they are to be as near
fire proof as possible. The main fac
tory building which is expected to be
in operation within the next thirty
days is 100x500 feet in size and it will
be used for drawing wire and making
the wire rope. It is declared that the
business of the company is increasing
very rapidly and it is certain that adj
ditions Will be made TO the Kenosha
plant within short time after it is
put into operation.
President Whyte will remove his |
family to Kenosha at once and he |
expects to become personally identi-
fed with the life of the city within
the next few weeks.

Hence, were the ordinance in question

Ii is clear the ordinance in question

had no consideration to give for such

Much reliance is placed by the plain
tiff upon the case Of Superior v Doug
gas County Telephone Co. 14l Wis.
1863. That was . case where the city
Of Superior in its proprietary charac
ter entered into contract for free
telephones with an existing telephone
company operating under a charter
from the state. No attempt was made
by the city to confer any franchise, or
right to operate any telephone system,
upon the telephone company. The
city and the telephone company, prior
to the passage Of oh. 400 Laws of 1907,
entered into contract--not part Of
any franchise granted or attempted to
be granted whereby the telephone
company, for a valuable consideration,
agreed to maintain certain number
of free telephones in the city Of Super
ior. The city had paid the considera,
ton by permitting alterations to be
made in its city hall and buildings as
requested by the telephone company,
and it was held the passage of the
public utility law did not affect the
contract, since sec 1897 81 thereof
expressly provided that the furnish
ing by any public utility of any pro-
duct or service at the rates and upon
the terms and conditions provided for
in any existing contract executed
prior to April !, 1907, shall not con-
stitute discrimination within the
meaning specified" 1t is obvious ,the
case at bar does not come within the
Principle applied or the section re-
ferred to in the Superior case.
The trial court held that the defen-
dant was not the successor of the
Citizens Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany and, therefore, was not bound by
the terms Of the franchise even if
they were valid. We express no opin-
ion on this branch. Of the case.
