Business Conditions Said to
Have Affected Plans of
North estern Ry. Co.
BIG CROPS TO BRING MONEY

The work Of elevating the tracks of
the Chicago and Northwestern Railway
Company through Kenosha may not
be started this year even should the
railroad commission issue an order for
elevation as it is said that the falling
off in the rail business has been so
great that the company may have
trouble financing the proposed improve
ments. r. S. Quayle, superintendent
of motive power for the company, was
in Waukegan on Friday and in speak
ing of the proposed elevation Of tracks
in north shore cities, declared that the
advancement of this work would de-
pend on the business done by the COM
pany. He is quoted as saying:
"The possibilities Of elevation along
the north shore or other improve
ments on the lines of the railroad rest
mainly on the receipts Of the railroad
during the present fiscal year. Al
thought the North Western is doing as
well if not little better than any
railroad in the country, nevertheless,
business conditions are very bad
throughout the country. There is lit
tie hope Of the condition of factories
in the country, improving. Nature
will step in though within few weeks
to assist the nation to again gair its
trend Of prosperity.
To prepare for the coming
large grain crops which will
this fall the North Western has I'll
an order for five thousand more box
cars. The order Of the railroad for
forty new and modern locomotives has
also stirred the commercial world
There are no more additions to the
rolling stock, in view
When asked about the attitude Of
the railroad in regard to the great
amount of recent discussion in the city
Of Kenosha to force the railroad col
pany to elevate through there he refus
ed to make any comment and actually
stated that he hadn It heard about it. y

From present indications there will
be no extensions of the local street car
lines this summer. Petitions for extern
sions in several sections of the city have
been presented to the officials and have
been carefully checked up by repre-
sentatives Of the company, particularly
one for an extension of the lines north
and west of Grand avenue, but no IN
timations have been given by the Of
fieials that any improvements might
be expected in the near future. The
falling off in the receipts Of the com
pany as shown by the last report may
have something to do with the re-
luctance of the company to invest in
extensions in territory where the bust
ness Of the company would have to be
built up and where there is little
likelihood Of the cars paying running
expenses for a time, but it is more
probable that all problems connected
with securing extensions have been
subordinated to the big problem now
occupying the attention of the officials
that of securing an entrance for the
through cars Of the company to
the down town sections of the city.
Just at present there is an absolute
deadlock in the negotiations to get the
cars into the business district Of the
city, but the business men who are
losing trade-and they are losing lot
of it--because of the present situation
may be expected to make some kind
OF a move before long. The city can
not afford to shut out business and
that is what barring the cars out
means. There is no sympathy for the
street railway company. It's officials
brought about the present situation by
being pig headed in matter that
ought to have been settled in ten
minutes conference between intelligent
business men. It is simply a case Of
the city not being willing to cut off
its own nose to spite its face very
much longer.

John Elvermann Prominent
Randall Man Charged with
Having Threatened Priest
SEEK TO FIND HIM INSANE

John Elvermann, aged fifty five
years, one of the most prominent of
the residents of the town of Randall
and brother of Anton Elvermann,
town chairman Of the town of Randall
was brought to Kenosha this morning
for an examination into his mental
condition. ElYermann has been act
ing queerly and his friends and rela-
tives now fear that it is dangerous
for him to be at large and petition
has been fled in the county court ask
ing that he be sent to the state hos
pital at Mendoza.
Elvermann is alleged to have threat
ened to kill the Rev. J. III. Schiefen,
pastor of the st. Alphonse church at
New Munster. His antipathy for the
priest is said to have grown out Of
his demand on Father Schiefen that
he refuse to officiate at the marriage
of Joseph A. Kerkman and Miss Lena
Smitz, both residents of the town of
Wheatland. The bans for this marri-
age were announced some time ago
and license for the ceremony issued
in court. Elvermann is in no way a
relative of either of the contracting
parties, but since the announcement Of
the approaching marriage he is said to
have declared himself the guardian of
the young woman and had protested
strongly against the proposed marri-
age. He is said to have not only
threatened to kill the priest, but has
also threatened violence to the young
woman if the marriage ceremony is
performed.
The case is one Of the most unusual
on record in Kenosha county. Elver-
mann is bachelor and he is alleged
to have been strongly opposed to mar
rage. In recent years, according to
stories told by friends and neighbors,
he has made repeated protests against
the marriage Of young people in the
neighborhood in which he resided. He
is alleged to have made the threat
against Father Schiefen at the home
of the priest and the manner in which
the threat was made was such that the
priest feared that the threat would be
carried out.
Elvermann was brought to Kenosha
this morning with the idea that he
would be given chance to investigate
the license under which the marriage
of Miss Smitz and Kerkman was to
have been performed. He insisted
that the license be vacated Elver-
mann has made his home with a sister
in the town of Randall for number
of years and he is alleged to have
been so abusive to the members of the
household that his relatives feared to
permit him to remain at the house
longer. Physicians are making an ex-
animation of Elvermann this after
noon and it is declared that he will
probably be sent to Mendoza for treat
ment. 1t is stated by interested parties
that he had similar attack twenty
five years ago, but he was thought to
have entirely recovered his mental
balance. The condition of Elvermann
has caused profound sensation in
the western part Of the ,unty.
After the physicians had begun the
examination into the mental condition
OF Elvermann the latter demanded that
ne be given a formal hearing in the
county court. He was committed to
jail pending the court hearing.
