mo SHOPS SOUTH OF KENOSHA
Vice President Ashton Announces that
the Company Will Not Build Repair
Shops on Property Bought Between
Kenosha and Waukegan This Year.

Announcements has been made that
! within the next two OF three days the
Chicago & North Western Railway Co.
| will give out plans for notable improve
ments Of the property owned by the
company at lake shore cities between
| Chicago and Milwaukee and it is said
that the plans Of the company are of
such nature as to be exceedingly
pleasing to the people in these cities.
Mayor Head has been in close touch
with the company and he expects an
announcement Of the plan before next
Monday. The company has purchased
large tracts Of land both to the north
and south Of Kenosha. It has already
announced the erection Of new and
modern station at Zion City and il is
thought that one of the plans for next
year will be the building Of a new and
modern station at Kenosha Car shops
for the repair of cars of the company
are to be built somewhere along the
north shore and it is thought pretty
certain that the shops will be put up
on the land near Berryville. No shops
will be built on the land between Ke
nosha and Waukegan recently purchas-
ed by the company. This has been
made certain by letter sent out by
r. III. Ashton, vice-president of the
company, in response to an inquiry
from Waukegan. In this letter Mr.
Ashton says:
Dear Sir:-Acknowledging receipt Of
yours of the ninth regarding recent pur-
chase by this company Of about sixty
acres of land lying north of the Wau-
kegan city limits. Your information
as to purchase of property is correct.
The prospective growth of the ter
ritory in Waukegan and lying between
there and Kenosha, in our opinion,
warrants the purchase of the property
in question in order to take care Of
the business as it develops. Our
plans are not definitely matured as to
the use of the property, other than
it will be used for a train yard, both
passenger and freight. It is not CON
templated there will be any extensive
car repairing shops or anything Of
that nature in connection with it.
We will be very glad to keep you
advised when it is determined to
Make any expenditures in this direc-
tion, but the probabilities, under ex-.
listing financial conditions, are against
any expenditures in the immediate fu-
ture. Yours truly,
R. Fl. Ashton,
Vice President.

HITS OLD AND NEW
Popular Election of Sena-
tors Results i'm Repeal of
the Oldest Statute.
FIRST TEST TO Be MADE SOON

Two of the Oldest, and one Of the
newest, laws on the statute books
were repealed to make way fol direct
election Of United States senator's
By bringing the election under the
general statutes, campaign waged al
| special election called to fill vacancy
will be greatly shortened. When q
senator is chosen at regular election
the procedure is precisely the same az
in the election of state officials.
Two of the statutes repealed were
enacted in 1S49, when Wisconsin be-
came state. One prescribes the
method of election by the legislature
The other requires the governor to
certify the result to the president OF
the United States senate. Under di
rect election, this certiication will be
made by the secretary of state.
In the 1911 session, it was provided
that the governor might call a special
primary, in case of vacancy, to nomin-
ate a candidate, and convene a special
! legislature to elect. This act has been
repealed. 1t provided that the order
for the primary should be signed not
less than sixty days before the pri.
mary, allowing two months for the
campaign.
Under the general law for filing
vacancies, which now applies to sena-
tors, the governor may order a special
election not less than twenty-five nor
more than forty days from the time
the order is signed. The secretary of
state, when he receives the governor s
order for the election, may order a
special primary, not less than fifteen
nor more than thirty days after the
order is filed. The governor may thus
cut the prediction campaign to
twenty-five days, and the secretary of
state may cut the pre-primary cam
paign to fifteen days.
Special elections may be ordered
when there shall have been neglect or
failure to choose at the regular cleo
ton; when the right of a person to
the office, shall for some reason cease
during the interval between election
and the time the senator takes his
seat; VIXEN a vacancy which might
have been filed at regular election
is not filed; or when vacancy is
created for any other reason not pro-
vided for in the statutes, the governor
may direct an election
A senator resigning must give his
resignation to the secretary Of state.
Should vacancy in the senatorship
occur, from death or any other reason,
it becomes the duty of the cornty
clerk, in the county in which the SEN
ator resided, to transmit a notifca-
ton to the secretary of state.
The first popular senatorial election
will be in 1914, (for Senator Stephen
son S seat and every six years there
after, and also in 1916 (for Senator
LaFollette ) seat) and every six years
thereafter. The second choice ballot
will be used in the primaries.

The avoidance of great railroad
strike is one of the achievements Of the
administration which will be most ac-
ceptable to the country. That de-
sirable change III the Erdman act also
is accomplished makes more than good
measure. There is no industrial con-
troversy in which the innocent bvstand-
err is more seriously hurt than tieup
of transportation, and with financial
stringency throughout the world, re-
adjustment of tariff at hand and other
factors of economic strain now present,
the precipitation of a general railway
fight over wages would be inexcusablo.
The railroad employees are among the
most reasonable and responsible of or
gained labor, as they ought to be, and
without passing upon their claims for
higher pay it may be said that the
economic pressure upon them is not so
great as to excuse peremptory measures.
AS railroad managers are being told
nowadays thst they are quasi-pubhc
servants 50 railroad employees must
realize chat they are likewise and ii
is within the lines of the public in
terest that the adjustment OF their re
spective claims and needs must be
worked out The Erdman act set III
machinery for the consideration of al
phases Of any claim, including its rela
tions to the public interest. The prin
ciple upon which it is founded will b
given wider scope as time goes by

SON or FORMER SENATOR
Had Been Tri7ing to Chicago with His
Wife to Open New Home When
Sudden Death Resulted From Heart
Disease Following Acute Indigestion

One Of the incidents Of the year in
Kenosha was the death Of Frank j..
Eaton which occurred on Thursday aft
ernoon on the lake shore road north
CT Kenosha, mention of which was
made il the News on Thursday evening.
Mr.. Eaton was the son Of former
State Senator Barney A. Eaton of
Cudahy, formerly one of the best
known politicians Of Wisconsin. He
was thirty-fve years Of age and had
made a career for himself being the
general superintendent of the three
tanneries owned by the American Hide
and Leather company in the states of
Wisconsin and Michigan, Death came
to Mr.. Eaton without any warning, He
was riding along the road with his wife
when he was stricken with heart dis
ease and death came instantly. His
hands, which had held the wheel of the
automobile, relaxed their grip and the
wife noticing thai the automobile was
swerving to the side of the road, reach
ed over and caught hold of the brake
and brought it to a stop Near by mem
bers of the First Congregational church
of Kenosha were holding a picnic and
hearing the cries of Mrs. Eaton, Ben
Buckmaster ran to the road. He found
Eaton dead and with others from the
picnic grounds the body was lifted from
the automobile and carried into the
grove DR.. Hastings was summoned
from Kenosha and he went with all
haste to the grove. When he arrived
Eaton had been dead for some time.
The doctor after making an examina-
ton into the history of the case declar-
ed that Eaton had died from heart
disease induced by acute indigestion.
Mr.. and Mrs. Eaton up to a short
time ago had made their home at Mer-
rill Wis, but for the past three weeks
they had been guests of former Senator
Eaton at the old homestead at Cudahy.
They had left this village at II O'Clock
Thursday morning to go to Chicago
where they planned to make their
home and where Mr.. Eaton was plan
ming to embark into business for HIM
self. After eating a hearty lunch at
Racine, Mr.. Eaton had complained of
Indigestion and he had taken a small
amount of soda and water This seemed
to relieve him and he started on the
motor trip for Chicago. He had not
complained before the sudden attack.
The body Of Eaton was brought to
Kenosha and Coroner Millager after
making an investigation declared that
it would be unnecessary to hold an in
quest
Mrs. Eaton was taken to the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. L. M, Theirs and later
former Senator and Mrs. Eaton came to
Kenosha from Cudahy.
Mr.. Eaton was graduate Of the
University of Wisconsin and after his
graduation he went into the offices of
one Of the tanneries Of the American
Hide and Leather Company. His ad-
vance in the business was rapid and
for several years he had been general
superintendent over the western plants
of the company. He was a Mason of
high degree and was member Of
Tripoli Shrine.

Pickpockets- No Names Given Out

a number of Kenosha people are
claimed to have been the victims of
pickpockets who worked in Racine dur
ing the presence Of the circus Oh

legged to have been feeced have been
given out. Tt is claimed that one
Kenosha man reported to the Racine
police the loss of a gold watch. It had
been deftly removed from the chain
and when the man got home he dis
covered the loss. Many reports of
robberies were sent to the Racine de-
partment during the day.

ALIENS AT SCHOOL.
Men Seeking Second Papers in Circuit
Court have Preliminary Examinations

Court have Prellm1nary examinations
H. L. Roethe of Chicago, examiner of
the National Immigration bureau, came
to Kenosha this morning and opened
his school for aliens at the county court
room. During the day more thar a
score Of the aliens who have sought sec
ond papers submitted to the prelimin-
airy examination. Many of them were
ordered to get busy and study up be-
fore they appear regularly before the
court for hearing of their petitions.
The examiner questioned not only the
aliens but also the men who are to act
as witnesses for them when the petit
tions are called for a formal hearing in
the circuit court. The court hearings
will take place early in October.

MAY CANCEL CONTRACT LATER
Agents of the Company Declare that
there Would be no Objections to
Making a New Contract if Council
Sees Fit to Order it at This Time.

All negotiations between the Wis
consin Gas and Electric Company and
the committee on gas and light Of the
common council leading toward the
making of new contract for lighting
the city for the coming year were
abandoned this morning when discov-
cry was made that the contract on
which the city is now receiving light
from the company would not expire
until the Goth of August next year.
The committee and the officials Of
the company had been working with
the understanding that the contract
would expire this year, but an examina-
ton Of the formal document and bond
as filed with the city clerk indicates
that the contract went into effect on
August Goth, 1909. and that it was for
a FIVE year term. Some time ago when
Main street was taken up with the
company, officials of the company sug-
gested that the contract for these
lights be made a part Of the contract
for street lights for new term and
with that the plans for the new con-
tract were started. Of course the dis
covery that the contract does not ex-
pire for a year will do away with all
further negotiations unless the city
council sees fit to make a proposition
to the company to make a new con-
tract.
It is understood that the officials of
the company are willing to cancel the
present contract at any time the city
desires to make new contract. 1t is
possible that this plan will be taken
up. but many of the members Of the
council are unwilling to make any new
agreement until the expiration of the
contract the prices for light are a lit
tie higher than are being paid by many
of the cities Of the state and it is pos
sible that the company would offer a
considerable reduction In the rate if a
new long term contract was made. The
council committee had asked for
proposition covering a two, five and
ten year term. The figures for such a
proposition have been worked out by
the statisticians of the company and
it is probable that the company will
be able TO furnish the prices to the
council at any time the committee is
directed to proceed.
Nothing will be done, however, I'M
til the plan for the decorative lights
has been decided on. The special com
mittees Of the retailers association
are now at work securing signatures
under the new law and if the proper
number Of signatures is secured the
council will undoubtedly act favorably,
on the plan. The members of the COM
mittee are hopeful that they will be
able to have some report ready for the
council at its next regular meeting.
Some of the members of the council
have shown an opposition to a long
term contract and if this opposition
has any considerable following it is
probable that the company will rot
max any decided reduction in the
rates, especially if the contract is for
short term. Under such conditions
the contract would undoubtedly run
for the full term Of years and the city
would probably be forced to appeal to
the railroad commission.
