URGES USE OF GRAVEL.
w. H. Morse Suggests Use of Gravel
in Road Building in This County,

Editor Telegraph Courier:
Dear Sir:-Being interested in the
good roads movement, [ have an idea
| would like to bring before those in
terested. | am informed that it is
| planned to use crushed lime stone at
cost of from 90 cents to $1.25 per
cubic yard f. O. B. Kenosha Why
not use gravel? The answer I got to
/ this question was that it was scarce
and hard to get. | want to say that
we have gravel right here in Kenosha
county to gravel all our roads for a
hundred years and more. Along the
right Of way of the Northwestern,
west near Silver Lake and Bassett s
Station, there are immense gravel de-
posits. If stone crusher with load
ing device was put in so as to crush
this gravel it would make the very
best road material. This gravel is
coarse, it has small boulders or cobble
stones from 2 to inches in diameter.
4 This stone is of a quartsite nature
and when run through crusher with
sand and gravel it has a remarkable
wearing power. I believe this materi-
al for road making is far superior to
any crushed lime stone. What will it
cost. This is important. / figure it
can be loaded on cars at cost Of 90
cents per yard. Freight charges are
u cent per ton per mile. Twenty mile
haul 10 cents per ton. A yard of
gravel weighs less than two tons This
would make the freight 20 cents per
yard, 20 cents for loading, cost 40c.
To be on the safe side we will figure
lit soc per yard, F. O. B. Kenosha or
anywhere III the county on the North
western track. Figuring crushed lime
stone at $l.o0 per yard aud two thous-
and yards per mile of road built, or
\ $4,000, the same amount of crushed
gravel will cost $1,000. Quite saw
ing, To put in d crusher, loading de-
Ivice, purchase five acres of gravel will
cost about $4,000 The saving in ma
terial on three miles Of road would
pay for the outfit. 1t seems as if
there ought to be men in our automo-
bile association who could finance this
scheme, taking their money back with
Interest by charging q small per cent
a haul cost. When they were paid
they could turn it over to the asso-
Beiation.

TO UNDERNEATH BONDS.
Eastern Banks to be Interested in Re-
organization of G. s NJ.


It is understood that the National
City Bank of New York and \. W.
Halsey & Company have underwritten
81, 900 first mortgage bonds of the
Chicago & Milwaukee Electric Rail-
road. This is the first step in the re-
Mobilization of the property. The pro-
eeeds of the sale of bonds will be
used to retire the old issue Of $1,000
600 first mortgages IS which mature
at 1919 at los, and to pay off about
$1,500,o00 of receivers certificates:
The balance will be used as working
capital
In street railway there are some
ambitious plans ahead for the Chicago
and Milwaukee Electric. 1t is the in
tention ultimately to have the, road
operated by interests in the Chicago
Elevated railways. 1t is proposed that
the Milwaukee line shall enter the city
over the Northwestern Elevated on
the north and deliver it's ears at
Sixty-third street over the south side
elevated From the latter point the
traffic will be carried to South Bend,

TO HOLD CONFERENCE.
Politicians Among State officers to
Talk Over Income Tax Repeal Soon.

Al the political conference in Madi-
son next week there will undoubtedly
be considerable talk in regard to the
income tax. Members of the legisla-
ture froa the country districts are
hearing from this tax on every side
and they are anxious that some def
mite stand shall be taken by the party
leaders on the subject which will en-
able them to talk to their constituents
as to what the future policy Of the
progressives will be in regard to the
law.
Tt is understood to be the plan to
collect all the progressive legislative
members in the executive chamber
some night for discussion of the law
in an effort to discover just what the
sentiment is in regard to the measure.
It-is understood that the admins
tration desires to take no backward
step on the law, but the members will
be told that if it is considered de-
sirable. friends of the administration
who have been posting themselves in
regard to the details of the law will
make "a trip around the state and de-
liver lectures on the measure in which
the speakers will endeavor to convince
the farmers and residents Of small
towns that the law will eventually ac-
crue to their advantage.
It will be claimed on behalf of the
law at the conferences that if its>pro-
visions are carried out the result Of
the collection of the income tax will
be lessenipg of the real estate
taxes in the state.
Whether promises of explanatory
lectures Will satisfy members of the
legislature who desire to be candi-
dates for reelection from districts
where there is a great deal Of feeling
among the farmers against the law is
a question. These members know that
the farmers desire the law repealed
and are not likely to be satisfied if it
is allowed to remain on the statute
books.
1t is claimed it is very likely that
petitions will appear in the legislature
next week from farming districts of
the state asking for the repeal Of the
law. Petitions Of this kind have been
circulated, and it has been under
stood it was the intention to present
them at the special session. The pc
titions ask that some kind Of imme-
date relief be given to prevent the
operation of the law. 1t is said that
in districts where these petitions have
been circulated they have been gem
orally signed by farmers. In fact, the
greatest agitation against the law is
heard in agricultural districts. The
sentiment against the law is very
strong in the farming districts.

GET AFTER AUTO DRIVERS.
Police Ordered to Arrest People Driv-
ing Autos Without New Numbers.

The police of the city were given
orders on Saturday that they must en-
force the new state law in regard to
the registration Of automobiles and to
arrest ali drivers of cars Who had not
secured the fred" numbers from the
secretary Of state. Dexter Kent was
picked up by the officers on Saturday
evening and he declared that he had
made an application for a new number
nearly a month ago, but had not as
yet received it. There are many cars
in the city being run under old num-
bers and the police have been in
structed to arrest all of these men.
The law provides that the new NUM-
bers should be secured on the first of
January but the police have given
the automobile owners plenty of time
in which to get the new plates. from
the state.

between the candidates as undignified
and unworthy of men who aspire to
the high office they seek no one can
deny that it is interesting and that the
people are being given more than a
glimpse Of what goes on behind the
scenes before every nomination. It is
seldom that the politicians get mad
enough to tell THO whole truth.

CASE MAY PROVE SENSATIONAL
Weight Arrested in Racine and Brought
to Kenosha Is Released on Recogni-
zance Bond and Efforts Being Made
to Settle Case Out of Court.


edly sensational should it come to trial
was brought to light on Wednesday
afternoon in the arrest of Louis H.
Weight, said to be member of a
prominent fanny at Corliss and en-
ployed as clerk in the offices of the
J. /. Case Company in Racine. Voight
| is charged with attempting to extort
money by means Of threatening let
ter. The letter was written to Law
renee Anderson, a son of Peter M.
Anderson, one of the wealthiest men
Of the town of Somers. 1t bore the
date of April 10th and the contents of
it were of such an unusual nature that
the father of the young man receiving
it turned it over to the district attor-
ney and asked for the arrest Of
Voight.
The young man was taken into Gus
tody by Sheriff Stahl at the Office Of
the Case company in Racine on We'd
nesday and hurried to Kenosha in an
automobile. He was taken before
Judge Randall in the municipal court
and later in the day on second hear
| ing the case was continued for week
and Weight was released on a recogniz-
ance bond of 500. Anderson was in
court at the time and agreed to the
release of Voight and it was declared
that it might be possible that the case
would be settled without the aid Of
the courts. District Attorney III. j.
Hastings offered the two a chance to
settle their differences and they took
a week in which to think the matter
over.
The trouble between Voight and
Anderson is said to have resulted from
the relations Of the two to the same
girl. The young woman is not in any
way named in the complaint, but she
is said to be well known in the town
of Somers.
Voight in his letter to Anderson de-
manded the payment of sum of
money. He did not state the amount
Of his claim against Anderson and. his
letter was of such nature that it
indicated that the man was laboring
under great mental stress at the time
of the writing of the letter and the
whole would not be considered a con-
tribution to contemporary literature.
Anderson is referred to as brute
all through the letter and Voight
reached his climax when he wrote, ct
would just as soon fill your body with
lead as look at you. The father of
young Anderson fearing an open out
break between the boys demanded that
the matter be taken up by the dis
trict attorney and he came to Kenosha
and made the complaint against
Voight.
The court hearing Of the case on
Wednesday was held with as little
publicity as possible and the members
of the families Of the two boys have
been making every possible effort to
avoid publicity in the matter.
Anderson has declared that he is
ready to go into court and give the
full facts in regard to his relations
with Weight, but the Corliss man seems
to prefer to have the matter settled
Under the law should Voight be con
yicted of the charges made against him
he could be given a long term in the
Estate prison, So far as has been
known both of the boys have always
borne a good reputation.

The night was the most beautiful
OF the whole trip. The sea was calm
and the only bad feature was the cold,
due to the fact that we were so near
icebergs. We could see the ship sink
ing and sinking, and it was a fine
sight. The lights, every one on the
ship, were burning until the explo-
sion occurred, and I watched until l
saw the last portfolio go under.
Is Split Amidships
We had difficulty in getting the life
boat off the ship, owing to the fact
that the Titanic had already split
amidships. There were three oarsmen
in the boat, but there was not food nor
water, nor blue light, three things
every life boat is supposed to be equip
ped with. There was only one boat in
the whole bunch that had blue light
and we were forced to burn handker-
chiefs and clothing all night SO that
any rescue ship might sight us.
1t was 1915 at night when we got
into the boat and we had rowed d
mile when the Titanic went all the
way under. The sun rise was beyond
description and it was daylight when
we sighted the Carpathia coming
toward US. The Carpathia was fore
ed to anchor two miles from where we
were because of the icebergs and we
had to row over to her.
In Open for Hours.
=. 1t was 1915 when we got into the
life boat and it was 7:15 in the morn
ing when we were hoisted on board
the Carpathia in sort of a swing.
We were all so nearly frozen and daz-
ed that they had to tie us into the
swing. All the time we were in the
life boat the best oarsman Of the
three sat in my lap, it was SO crowded.
| was paralyzed, but [ was afraid to
move for fear he would give out and
if he quit rowing we would have been
lost.

on this trip to make me death proof
/ remember well how [ bIckled on
Peters and Henry's fife belts, and
how, besides holding the oarsman on
my lap, also held little baby, whose
mother and father were lost, most of
the time we were in the life boat.
Refuse Drowning Men.
1t was pitiful how we had to refuse
to take drowning women and men Into
the boat, but we couldn It because it
was SO crowded. We would see them
in the water, trying to swim and cry
ing and begging, but they had to
drown.
| did not see Major Butt or Mr..
Astor on the Titanic, but I saw Mrs.
Astor and lot of other notable peo-
pie who were saved, after we reached
the Carpathia. We were all together
and it was just like one big family
