There are critics of the new parcels
post system because it is not to go into
effect till the first of January-too
late for the carrying of Christmas
gifts. The critics either are deliber-
ately censorious or have not stopped
to think. 1t takes some time to get
a new system as big as the parcels
post into working order. 10 have
started before Christmas would have
been to invite rush at the outset
which would have swamped the post
Office department. 1t was far wiser to
set the date for the opening after the
Christmas season, thus giving the au-
thorities a chance to take care of the
business from the outset. 1t will be
hard enough under any circumstances
to get the new branch of postal work
into smooth running order, and the
public viii do well to be patient if
there are some delays. BY next Christ
mas, without doubt, it win prove a
great convenience, and long before
next Christmas the probability is, ii
viii have contributed in divers direc-
tions to the reduction Of the cost of
living. Evening Wisconsin.

PASSENGERS WALK THE PLANK
Break in Big Trestle of Chicago & Mil
waukee Discovered on Wednesday

Kenosha people who travelled to
Milwaukee on Wednesday afternoon
over the Chicago and Milwaukee Flee
trio road, had a new experience. They
were forced to "walk the plank and
they were tickled to death to do it.
The big trestle just south of the Mil
waukee city limits was found unsafe
for the operation of cars and the cars
were stopped south Of the trestle and
the passengers forced to transfer to
another car after walking over the
high bridge. The break was aiscov-
cred just before noon Wednesday and
La big force of Workmen were at once
put to work to make it safe. It will
probably be several days before the
tracks are safe for the use of the cars.

If the merchants will adhere strict
ly to their declared policy of prose
cutting every shopliftor caught in the
act in their stores they can count on
the heartiest cooperation of the po-
lice department and it will not take
great while to cut down the mum
Der of these kind of crimes to a
minimum. There was time when the
majority of the merchants refused to
appear against this class of criminals
but those days are declared to be
past in Kenosha. Patience has ceased
TO be virtue with the merchants and
they have decided 10 give the thieves
a chance to see what effect a plea of
kleptomania will have on the
judge.

The chief of police is certain that
his order to close the pool rooms at
midnight is a proper exercise Of police
powers, but he is perfectly willing
that any one who objects to the order
should test the matter in the courts.
1t is not improbable that much more

MAY Be HEAD OF BOLD GANG
Men Had Pockets Well Filled With
Bogus Dollars and Had Gone From
Kenosha to Racine on Wednesday,
Plant Found by Local Police.

Lee "A. EOFmdn anu J0Hn McD0ndIQ,
both said to be Chicago walters, were
arrested in Racine late Wednesday
afternoon charged with passing coun-
terfeit money and it is claimed that
the arrest is expected to clear up the
mystery connected with the passing
of large amounts of bogus money in
Racine and Kenosha during the last
few months.
The men had been in Racine only a
few minutes when they were picked
up by Detective Charles Christensen
of the Racine department.. At first
both men claimed to be from Kenosha
but later they admitted that their
home was in Chicago and that they
had spent only a few days in Kenosha
before going to Racine. One of the
men had twelve bogus silver dollars
In his pockets when arrested and the
other one had nearly as good 9, sup
ply. It is claimed that the men came
to Kenosha from Chicago on Thursday
and secret service workers in Chicago
had sought to have them located at
Racine. The Racine police at once
notified the Kenosha police of the ar
rest of the pair and asked that efforts
be made to find out if any of the coun-
terfelt money had been passed In Ke-
nosha during the short stop Of the men
here. The police received no com
plants, but it is said that the men
met several people while in Kenosha
and it is expected that the bogus coins
will make their appearance later. The
police in Racine believe that the two
men live in either St. Paul or Mime
apolis and they believe that they are
at the head Of the gang which has
been circulating counterfeit money in
Kenosha and Racine for the better
part of two years. The men are being
held pending the arrival Of federal Of
ficials and it is expected that wide
examination into their workings will
be made.
In the past year it is estimated
that several hundred dollars worth
of small coins of the counterfeit
variety have beer passed in Kenosha
and even more in Racine. For the
most part Kenosha saloons and stores
in the outlying districts were the vic
TINS of the men who slipped it over. -
Representatives of local police went
to Racine to take a look at the men
but they could not identify them as
Kenosha men.
Local police got the trail of the
two men shortly after they were ar
rested in Racine and it was found
that the men had a workshop at the
Hotel Ortiz ON Park street. They came
| to Kenosha on Tuesday evening repre-
senting themselves as silver platers
and secured room at the hotel. It
is thought that the money passed in
Racine on Wednesday was made in
| Kenosha. When Chief O'Hare and
his men raided the hotel room they
found a melting pot with some metal
in it and a number Of plaster paris
moulds. Other moulds used by the
men were found in their baggage in
Racine. The men were taken to Mil
waukee this morning by the federal
officials and the melting pot and other
implements Of countereeiting found in
Kenosha will be turned over to these
officials.
