Local Shippers Join Others
in District in Kick on
Freight Rates.
FORMAL PROTEST IS FRAMED

Kenosha shippers and merchants
have Joined the Chicago Association of
Commerce in objecting to an advance
of the freight rates in the so-called
/" official classification territory" which
includes Kenosha. This is a resolution
paszed by the committee of the Chicago
Association of Commerce and given to
the Interstate Commerce Commission:
If the benefits arising therefrom
are mutual and of a permanent nature
the increase may be justified. If, on
the contrary, the results are not per
manent and request for another in
crease in rates follows it will demon
strate that advances in rates do not
meet the issues involved nor provide
remedy for existing conditions.
"The committee especially invites
the commission IS attention to the fact
that the movement toward higher
transportation charges in official classi-
fcation territory has in the past fallen
to an undue and unreasonable extent
upon the rail and lake rates. If the
claim Of the carriers be conceded that
increased cost of operation, taxes and
"a return upon additional capital JUST
fed some increase in all rail interstate
rates, we respectfully submit that such
claim cannot and does not apply to the
rail and lake rates, which have been
advanced three times since 1900 with
out any change in the all rail rates
which fact not only debars the claim
that a fixed relation exists between
the all rail ard the lake and rail rates
that requires them to be similarly
changed, but establishes the further
fact that traffic moving under these
rates has already contributed in full
measure to any reasonable ADVANCE

WILD STORIES DENIED.
Just Two Cases of Small Pox Have
Been Found in the City.

Reports have been circulated about
the city to the effect that at the pres
ent time there are more than a dozen
cases Of small pox in Kenosha. These
reports are absolutely without founda-
ton and there are at present just two
cases in the city. Eugene Saftig, the
first to be guaranteed, is rapidly re-
covering from the disease. William
Englehardt, the second case, is not i'm
proving as rapidly and it is declared
that his illness is the most serious case
of small pox known in the city this
year. The report of large number of
cases was a matter Of considerable con-
Germ to the health department and the
health officer is anxious to have the re-
ports denied He declares that the de-
partment has quarantined every case
Of the disease and that no favors are
being shown to any one in connection
with the fight on small pox.

Weather for November Was
Warmest Known Here in
More Than Eight Years.
PEOPLE TIRED OF Rain AND FOG

That the wave of warm weather
which arrived in this district last week
and which has not yet passed over,
broke all records. for heat at this sea-
son Of the year for this district is the
verdict reached by local weather prog
nosticators who kept records last week
of the heat and who had similar records
for the past eight years in their posses
sion.
The extreme warm wave which swept
this section last week lasted for four
days and the temperature at times dur
ing this period registered as high as
SO degrees above zero. This is unusual
ly warm for this time of the year, and
it cannot be remembered that this
mark has been equalled The week
Just past reminded one more of early
spring than of autumn, although the
temperature fell several degrees be-
tween Saturday and Sunday mornings.
The following table shows the readings
for the four days giving the records
at a. M, noon, 6 p. m. and 10 p. m.

BOOST INSURANCE RATES.
Local Steamship Companies to Pay
More After Opening of New Year.

Because of the heavy losses which the
insurance companies will be forced to
pay because of the shipwrecks and gen.
eral marine damage in the recent storm
on the Great Lakes, the local boat com
panies will have to pay a higher rate
Of insurance starting with December /
to protect the insurance companies
against another heavy loss such as
was incurred ii the last storm which
cost them $7,500,000.
American marine underwriters have
announced they will insure ships sail
ing in December at one per cent
for vessels loaded prior to midnight
December and sailing not later than
midnight December 5. For ships load
ed prior to midnight December 7 and
sailing before midnight December 5,
the risk will be carried at one and
one-half per cent.
The English writer's have refused to-
commit themselves, it is said, but it is
expected they will meet the rates pub
lished by the American insurance
companies.
The policies for the extended sailing
will not cover ships going east Of Lake
Erie. For vessels moving from one
port to another on the same. lake, dur
ing the first week Of December the
premium will be one-quarter of one
per cent.
So far no formal applications for De
cember policies have been received by
the underwriters, but owners have ia
quired what the rate will be. III 1t is
likely that some ships will be sent out
during the first week Of December be-
cause of the loss Of tonnage and the de-
lay to shipping in the recent storm.

RAIL RATE WAS TOO HIGH
Commission Orders North Western Ry.
Co. to Make Reparation and at Same
Time Provides for New Schedule of
Rates for Freight to the Coast.

The United Refrigerator company of
this city has won its fight against the
North Western Railway company be-
fore the. Interstate Commerce commits
sion and the commission has handed
down an order directing that the rail
way company make reparation to the
company and at the same time estab-
fishing new schedule of freight rates
for the company between Kenosha and
San Francisco. This is the first time
that Kenosha company has appealed
to the commission against rates estab-
ished by the railway company for cit
les in the far west and it is probable
that the ruling of the commission will
be of great benefit to shippers in Ke-
nosha and in surrounding cities.
For long time the United Refrig-
orator and Ice Machine company has
been shipping a large number of am
monia eompressors, condensers and re.
ceivers from Kenosha to San Fran
cisco. The business of the company
along the Pacific coast has been grow
ing very rapidly in recent months. 1t
was declared that the freight rate
charged on these shipments was dis
criminatory rate, but efforts to secure
an adjustment through the regular rail
way channels failed and more than
seven months ago the Kenosha com
pany filed complaint with the United
State Commerce commission. The com
mission went into the matter to a great
length and has just handed down the
decision in favor of the company and
has established the new rate which
was promptly accepted by the railway
company. This new rate is now in
effect. Officials of the manufacturing
company who were connected with the
appeal to the commission declare that
the railway company was not seeking
to make a rate higher than had been
permitted under the rules of the
commission but that the rate 1kde was
the result of mistake in figuring traf-
fc schedules and that the company
promptly paid the amount claimed by
the company. This amounted to sew
eral hundred dollars.
Manufacturing concerns in Kenosha
have watched with a great deal of in
terest the action Of the commission on
the petition of the refrigerator com
pany as it brought new rate for
many sorts of shipments between Ke-
nosha and the Pacific coast.

BOOST IN RAILWAY TAX.
City Treasurer Receives Check for
S4,023.O2 This Morning as Taxes

Railway taxes along with other taxes
have been boosted this year and this
morning City Treasurer Martin Stein
metz received from the state treasurer
a check for $4,023.02 as the taxes of
the Wisconsin Gas and Electric Com
pany for the Kenosha Electric Rail
way. The taxes against the railway
company are collected by the state in
the form of license and this amount
does not cover taxes to be paid on the
lighting franchise and the investment
of the company in the city. The tax
last year was $3,29S.53. The state
treasurer also collects the taxes of the
Kenosha Home Telephone Company and
it is expected that this tax will show a
corresponding increase.

MUST GET CONSENT or CITIES
Company Has Made no Formal Appli-
cation for Rights on M, r. & X. Road
But This Is Expected to be Urged
During the Coming Winter Months.

The Milwaukee Electric Railway and
Light company is laying plans to ex-
tend the service of the company by
carrying freight on the lines and it is
expected that within short time the
company will seek to secure the right
through commission rulings or through
securing franchises from town boards
and city councils. AS yet no suggestion
that the company would seek to carry
freight has been made in cities along
the lire of the Milwaukee, Racine and
Kenosha line, but the company is now
trying out the plan on one of the short
lines out of Milwaukee and the council
at West Allis has been asked to grant
the company franchise to carry pack
age freight.
( Officials Of the company have de-
clared that this plan must be followed
on all Of the interurban lines if the
service is to be maintained without
increase in fare schedules. The whole
matter was threshed out at meeting
with the commission in Milwaukee
some time ago and at that time it was
understood that the company would ask
for the freight privilege. Attorneys
who have looked into the matter de-
clare that an order from the commits
sion would not be sufficient to permit
the roads to carry freight and that the
concessions must come from the cities.
Kenosha will be the last city in which
the question of carrying freight will
be taken up as before the company s
managers come to Kenosha they must
secure rights through the city of Ra-
cine.
The Racine Commercial club has gone
on record as being favorable to the
granting of such a right provided a
plan can be made to arrange for freight
terminals at the limits of the city of
Racine. The club would oppose the
operation Of freight cars on the princi-
pal streets of Racine. In order to
reach Kenosha with freight cars it
would be necessary for the company to
build line which would not pass
through Racine. It is said that this
would be an easy matter.
President Mortimer of the company
has given out statement in which he
declares that the carrying of freight
is the only way to make the interurban
lines paying propositions and that the
service must be limited if the freight
privilege is not accorded to the com
pany.
It is expected that formal action to
secure the freight carrying privilege on
all lines out of Milwaukee will be taken
up with the various towns and cities
during the winter months.
