COMPANY 70 MAKE CHANGES
Northwestern officials Notify Commits
sioners That Causes for Complaint
Have Been Removed by New Order
Continue Electric Road Hearings.

The railroad commission has not
moved its offices to Kenosha, but Com
missioner Harlow of the commission
held an all day hearing at the city hall
today at which complaints of the
town board of Pleasant Prairie
against the Chicago aQd Northwestern,
Chicago, Milwaukee and ST. Paul, and
the Chicago and Milwaukee Electric
Railway Companies were taken up.
The complaint against the steam roads
from the officials of the town demand
ed better protection of crossings at
the Geneva road and Holt road
and that the commission issue an or.
der which would put an end to the
blocking of highway crossings on the
part of the employees of the two steam
roads.
The hearing against the Chicago
and Milwaukee Electric was a demand
for protection of two grade crossings
in the town. Officials of the North
western Railway Company were or
hand to defend that company, but the
st. Paul road was not represented. 6.
W. Daley, general superintendent OF
the Northwestern informed the COM
missioner that a formal order had
been issued by the company which
would put an end to all blocking Of
the Geneva road and that in The fut-
ure no trains would be left standing
at this crossing. He decfdfed that the
company had put in an automatic bell
at the Geneva road crossing and that
should the commission order il bell
would be installed at the Holt crossing.
Commissioner Harlow declared that
he was hopeful that this statement
on the part of the company would
bring a settlement of the trouble
without formal order of the commits
sion. Most Of the complaint had been
against the Northwestern ard it was
said that the st. Paul had shown a
willingness to make changes which
would meet the demands of the town
officials. &
Commissioner Harlow in speaking Of
the protection of rural crossings said
"The commission has three grades of
protection starting with the bell and
passing along to the building of gates
or the stationing Of Waterman aud
the last resort is the separation of OBJ
structions where traffic is heavy and
the dangers emphasized. cit is our
desire,' said the commissioner, "to
settle these little matters without a
formal order if necessary and we frd
that in many cases the people and the
companies are able to get together just
as soon as the facts are brought to the
knowledge of the companies.
The hearing this afternoon will CON
elude the hearings on the electric
railway crossings in this county and
it is thought that within a month
some order will be issued by the COM
mission providing for the proper pro-
lection of these crossings.

Health Board is Most Active
in Efforts to Prevent Scar
let Fever Spread.
INVESTIGATE ALL DEATHS
Investigations Show That Ignorance in
Handing Disease is Cause of Many
Fatalities Officials Ordered to Arrest
Every Person Breaking Quarantine.

With a record of three deaths from
scarlet fever on Tuesday the health
board and the commissioner of public
health have taken greater steps to
stop the spread of the disease in Na-
nosha and the most stringent me- ~ s
are to be applied to prevent spread
ing of the disease. Physicians who
have failed to report suspicious cases
are no longer to be warned, but they
will be prosecuted to the fullest ex-
tent Of the law and demand will be
made by the board that the physicians
themselves use every possible care in
handling the disease in Kenosha.
DR.. G. Windesheim, head Of the
board of health, held long conference
with the commissioner of health on
Tuesday and he declared that every
thing possible was being done 60 pre-
vent the spread of the disease in the
city. Careful investigation was made
of the causes of the deaths on Tues
day. The little Clark child, who died
out on Harry avenue, had been i'll less
than tWenty-four hours and in fact
she died before the physicians were
fully certain that she was suffering
from scarlet fever, but a quarantine
had been put on the home. The little
Kalinowski child which died on Lin
den street is declared by the quaran-
tine officials to have been the victim
of failure of people to properly under
stand the methods of handling the
disease. There is a question as to
whether or not the fever caused the
death of Asel Madsen, % years of age,
who died out on Newell street after
being afflicted with the disease. Mad
sen had left his bed a short time be-
fore his death and while under the
effect Of a high fever had secured a
bottle of alcohol and had taken a
large amount of it into his system.
Ignorance is proving one Of the big
gest handicaps to the physicians and
health officials in fighting the disease
and general call is issued to all the
people of the city to aid the officials
in securing the right kind of quaran-
tine. No expense will be spared by
the city and if necessary special men
will be employed to watch every one
of the seventeen houses under quaran-
tine to prevent people entering and
leaving these houses. The board has
given directions that every yiolator of
quarantine be arrested and prosecuted
in court and that this law in regard
to quarantine be enforced without
partiality. The factory owners have
dropped from the pay roll men who
have broken quarantine and the fac
tory managers will work with the
health board IN securing the arrest and
prosecution of such people.
The commissioner of health holds
that while there is no great cause for
alarm among the people that the de-
partment must have the support of
every man, and woman in Kenoshs in
the effort to stamp out the disease.

Judge Sadler was not partial in his
onslaught and he went after candidate
Wilson without gloves. He said that
Wilson was nice fellow and mex
perienced in craftsmanship and that
jolly Roger Sullivan Of Chicago had
beer the man who had Topped the
democratic convention to Wilson.>-.He
declared that with Roger Sullivan as
sponsor that the people could not be
lieve that Mr.. Wilson in his inexperi-
ence could bring any government that
would be acceptable to the people.
He spoke of the aggressive honesty of
Col. Roosevelt, hit the third term
charge and closed with an appeal to all
people to vote for the Colonel. In
closing he said: "Don t be a worship
er Of the past. Let the dead bury its
dead. No right thinking man is going
to live on the reputation Of his grand
dad and the party that does not de-
serve support for performances in
1912 does not deserve your support for
what it did thirty years ago"

progressive organization, acted as
chairman of the meeting and among
the men on the platform were Rev. S.
