THURSDAY NOVEMBER 6, 1913.

The taxpayers of the city will be re-
lieved and possibly surprised to find
that the depression ON Lyman avenue
which was Immediately reported to be
a cave-in Of the trunk sewer, turned
out to be nothing more serious than
sand pocket Of the kind that is likely
to be found anywhere in that section
of the city and the territory adjoining
and that the city engineer after a
thorough inspection reports the sewer
to all appearances, to be in as good con-
dition as when turned over to the city.
The readiness with which the report of
cave-in of the sewer was accepted as
the truth by all property owners who
heard it, is an indication of the i'm
preston that prevails among the tax
payers of the city of the kind of a job
they got on that sewer. 1t is to be
hoped that the impression is mistak-
en- one and that the sewer stands up for
years to come in manner to defy
criticism A lot of people will be sur
prised if it does, but they had rather
he surprised than pay for repairs.

CASE BRINGS BIG PUZZLE
Jury Which Had Heard Evidence
Against Man Charged with Violating
Weights Law finds Defendant Guilty
After Unusual Instructions

Probably the most unusual ending of
a criminal trial ever known in Kenosha
county was seen in the circuit court on
Saturday afternoon when James John
son, hay salesman, was convicted by
a jury of selling hay under the weight
charged for. The case was by no
means an important one, but the out
come of it was decided unusual under
the circumstances.
just before noon Saturday the case
had been given to the jury under in
structions from the court so strong
that it appeared certain that the de-
PENDANT would be declared ''not
guilty by the jury on the first bal
lot. The judge had seen in the evil
dence reasonable doubt as to the
guilt of the defendant and his instruc-
tions were such that even the district
attorney, who had tried the case with
all the vigor possible, declared that he
expected an early verdict for the de-
PENDANT. johnson, the defendant,
fingered in the court room to receive
his vindication from the court. Two
hours passed and the jury brought in
no verdict. The judge then directed
that the jurors be brought into court
for some more instructions and the
court instructed the jury that it must
not hold out against a majority but
must seek to secure verdict.
1t was thought that this second in
struction would bring results and it
did. While the jury was back in the
jury room discussing the case plans for
a directed verdict for the defendant
were discussed, but before this matter
was fully threshed out the jury reach
ed verdict. This verdict declared for
the conviction of the defendant on the
charges contained in the information
Attorney Norman L. Baker, who repre-
sented johnson in the trial, at once
made a motion in arrest of Judgment
and for new trial and this motion
will be argued on Wednesday morning.
1t was declared after the verdict had
been rendered that regardless Of the
instructions of the court the jury had
been eleven to one for conviction on
the first ballot. The second instruction
of the court caused the one man who
had prevented an agreement to go over
to the side of the majority. 1t is de-
clared by the defendant that the case
will be appealed to the supreme court
if necessary.
incidentally the verdict of the jury
increases the batting average of the
district attorney to $50, he having won
three of the four criminal cases tried
at this term of the court.

With the announcement that the
supervisors of the town of Pleasant
Prairie are about to proceed in the
courts to stop the dumping of garbage
from the city on land leased by the
garbage companies for that purpose,
the question of garbage disposal is
likely to become an acute problem
again at any time. 1t is the invaria-
BILE custom of the courts to incline to
the safe side and uphold the decisions
of health boards in all matters affect
ing public health and if the town of
Pleasant Prairie goes ahead and or
ganizes health board under the law,
as it is declared it is the intention to
do, and this health board declares the
present dumping ground in that town
nuisance, Pleasant Prairie has a
much better chance to come out ahead
In any action instituted in the courts
than have any of the garbage companies.
That being the case it is none too soon
to begin planning to meet the emer-
gency that may arise at any time. It
is said that the garbage companies are
ready to combine and erect a garbage
reduction plant if assurances can be
given that the city does not intend to
60 into the garbage collection business
IN the near future. In the present con-
dition of the finances of the city and
considering the demands of the state
and county taxes and the acquisitions
of the school board that must be taken
care of, it does not look as if the city
would be in q position to embark in
any new enterprises for some time vet.
That being the case the easiest way out
might be to encourage the contracting
companies to go ahead with a reduc-
ton plant. Proper guarantees could be
exacted from the new garbage COM
pany, under penalty of the cancella-
ton OF any agreements the city might
make not to embark In the garbage
collecting business, that first class
reduction plant would be erected that
would be approved by the board of
health and that the people would not be
charged an exorbitant price for the
service. A scale of fees depending on
the number of calls required weekly
and the length of haul could be fixed
for the whole territory to be served by
the plant and the people protected
against overcharges in that way The
garbage disposal question will never
be settled until reduction plant is
built and the indications are that the
city cannot wait much longer for one.

North Western Railway Co.
to Give up Spotter System
After Present Month.
PUT OFFICIALS ON HONOR NOW

To create a better feeling among
conductors and trainmen the manage
ment of the Chicago and North
Western Railroad will, on November /,
abolish the detective system Of the
White Auditing Company, which has
been operating over this road for a
year or two. The White is an outside
concern, contracting to furnish detec-
tives or checkers, as they are call
ed, to surprise conductors on all parts
of the system and go over their ac-
counts on the spot.
Being employees of an outside con-
Germ the management Of the Chicago
and North Western had no voice in
their employment and could not pass
on those hired. The trainmen of the
entire system strongly protested at the
checkers, and it is said that several Of
the older conductors We're discharged
as a result of the surprises, the train
men alleging that slight discrepancies
in amounts were used as grounds for
dismissal.
We are disseminating the service
of the White Auditing Company for
two or three reasons, said an officer
of the North Western road. We be-
lava +bo+ mo con r,;4b o,,n 49,, -,
carry on the work of checking the con-
ductors' accounts better than an out
side concern. By using our own men
we believe there will be better feeling
toward the company on the part of the
trainmen. Another reason is big
financial saving to the company.
There is no intention on the part
of the North Western road to abandon
the practice Of auditing the accounts
of it's conductors The new auditors,
about twelve for the system, will
report directly to the general super
intendent.
Various plans for keeping tab on
conductors have been tried. The old
"spotter' system was the first and
most fearful to the trainmen. Under
this detectives reported conductors and
the latter were discharged without ever
facing their accusers. This method has
been practically abandoned by all big
systems as result of vigorous protests
by the railroad brotherhoods. A num-
Der of the roads use uniformed collec-
tors, who take up and handle all tic
kets, leaving the conductor free to
operate the train.

The attitude of Indifference to public
opinion assumed by the university
authorities is giving much concern to
the true friends of that institution
throughout the state who realize that
the feeling of hostility to the univer-
Bity, Enthusiastically growing stronger all
over Wisconsin every day, will result
in making the institution political
issue and seriously interfere With it's
usefulness in the future. The running
the state' attitude of the university
authorities will not go down much
longer, for even the graduates and
friends of the school recognize the fact
that the university is the creature not
the master of the people of Wisconsin
and that all its affairs are as much
subject to the regulation and supervi-
sion Of the people of the state as those
of any other institution supported by
money raised by taxation. AS slight
indication of the great change in SEN
timent towards the university it will
be noticed that the opposition Of what
is known as the university clique has
very little effect in political circles
nowadays. Time was and not so very
long ago either when member Of the
Legislature who incurred the,enmity of
shat faction at Madison for any cause
whatever might as well retire from
public life, but unless there is a great
change the next Legislature will have
a number of members who will accept
no dictation from the university ele-
pent.
