TURNS DOWN CR|FF|THPROTEST
Court Declares That Line Has Already
Been in Hands of Receivers Too Long
and Original Plan For the Sale to
Bond Holders May Be Carried Out.

Judges Baker, Seaman and Mack,
sitting in the United States circuit
court of appeals, after an all day ar
gument Friday, affirmed the decree of
United States Judge Geiger, entered
at Milwaukee, March "a, 1914, for the
sale of the Chicago and Milwaukee
Electric Railroad properties.
The case was heard on the appeal
taken by John Grifiths from Judge
Geiger s decree. Griffths moved for
supersedeas to stay the sale, and also
sought an injunction to prevent the
organization committee from bid
ding at the SALE
At the conclusion of the argument
Judge Baker announced the opinion of
the court which was to the effect that
on account of the great extent of the
property involved and the long time
that the receivership had been in ex-
istenee and the necessity for immedi-
ate action the court would not take
the case under Amusement, but would
decide it at once. Accordingly the ap-
peal Of Grifiths was overruled and an
order was entered affirming the decree
of Judge Geiger. Judge Baker an
nounced that the court might file a
written opinion later.
The case was argued by Joseph
Moses for Mr.. Grifiths The Western
Trust and Savings Bank and the
organization committee, of which
NJ. Reynolds is chairman, were re-
presented by Levy Mayer and Leas-
ing Rosenthal.
The case has been among the most
involved organizations in the feder-
al courts of this district. The re-
ceivers were appointed January %,
1908, and have been running the road
more than six years. The proceedings
INVOLVE the foreclosure of two mort
cages aggregating $14,O00,000 of which
100000 is on the Illinois division
and the remaining S1G000,000 is on
the Wisconsin line.

feet of the decision he said "The
decision ended the interminable litiga-
ton. The properties can now be adj

Kenosha Men Fail to Take
Proper Care of Cars Left
at Street Curbs in City.
POLICE OFFICERS GIvEWARNING

The police department kept close
watch throughout the entire night last
night for the appearance of a large
automobile, which was stolen at Mil
waukee and which was thought to be
on the way to this city. The police
received information of the theft at
about 1880 last evening in long dis,
tance call from the northern city. The
automobile was stolen at about S:45
last evening. 1t was a seven passenger
Studebaker machine, painted black and
bore the license number, 2176S-Wis.
The thieves were thought to be head
ed down the north shore and the Mil.
waukee police enlisted the aid of the
local department. to apprehend the
thieves if they passed through this
city. The connecting streets with Mil
waukee road were watchly closely but
the miscreants failed to put in their
appearance. 1t is thought that if they
have passed Kenosha they made the
trip via some road to the west.
Hundreds of cars have been stolen in
this section of the country so far this
spring and motorists even in Kenosha
should exercise great care in looking
after the safety of their machine. A
local police official stated last evening
"Kenosha would be virgin field for
the auto thief for awhile or until the
citizens learned the rules of precau-
tionary measures in regard to the
safety of their machines. [ have fire.
quently noted that auto owners here,
will pull up at a curb, step out of their
machine and then forget its existence
for several hours. Some day they will
be given a costly lesson as to their
carelessness and will awake to find
their car cavorting over the thorough
fares, where, they won't know.''

SALOONS BARRED TO THEM
Saloon Men Warned Against Permitting
Unescorted Women or Young Girls
to Drink in Places--One Arrest Made
and Young Woman Is Held.

Things are doing in Kenosha. Act.
ing under the instructions of the police
and fire commission the police of the
city are seeking to throw more pro-
lection about young women of the
city and along these lines the police
have been instructed to force young
women to get off the streets at
reasonable hour Of the night One
arrest has been made as a result of
the order and the young woman was
held in the county jail for a whole
day to impress upon her the idea that
she was expected to keep off the
streets. The appearance of uneseorted
girls of the city in saloons and other
resorts is to be thing of the past
and these places are being closely
watched nightly. The police have been
instructed to pick up young women
who may be found in these places and
this law especially provides for the ar
rest of minors who may be found drink
| ing in the saloons. No effort has been
made to override the recent order of
the council which put an end to the
use of back bars and dance hall bars
after hours and the police have been
given to understand that this order
must be enforced.
1t is declared that the recent ac
tivity of the department has gone a
long way toward driving young girls
of hayward dispositions out of the
city and the police are determined to
keep these girls out of Kenosha or
force them to change their methods
of living. Girls given to fashy dress
ing and having no visible means of
support are being brought under the
close scrutiny of the police officers and
| the records of these young women are
being carefully tabulated. Saloon men
for the most part have refused to per-
NIT unescorted young women to enter
their places under any consideration
and lot of the saloon men have gone
farther and have barred women from
their places entirely The saloons are
not causing nearly as much trouble
to the police as some of the hotels
and other resorts.

girls and unescorted women to enter
their places or restaurants connected
with them have been under the watch

Expensive Flowers.

The conversation in Washington
club turned to flowers the other night,
when Congressman James L. Slayden
of Texas unfurled gentle smile. He
said he was reminded of the declara-
ton of a certain Mr. Smith.
Smith was walking through the sub
urbs with a friend one afternoon, when
they came to house where the gar
dener was doing the spring planting.
For moment they stood and watched
the work. Speaking of flowers" re-
marked Smith as the pair passed on

along that line is quite SO expensive

QUEER LAND TEXTURES
CEREMONIES OF ANCIENT DATE
OBSERVED IN ENGLAND.
Appear Somewhat Ridiculous In This
Day and Age, but Are Regarded
With Considerable Serious
ness Across the Water.

Our British cousins still cling to
some curious customs with respect to
land tenures. Whenever, for instance.
a certain estate at Chingford, in Es-
sex, passes into new hands, the owner,
with his wife, man servant, and maid
servant, goes on horseback to the par
sonage and pays homage by blowing
three blasts on horn. He carries a
hawk on his wrist, and his servant
leads a greyhound, both supposed to
be for the use of the rector that day.
The new ewner then receives q
chicken for the hawk, peck of oats
for his horse, and loaf of bread for
his greyhound. After dinner the own
er blows three more blasts, and then
with his party withdraws from the
rectory.
Another curious proceeding is known
as 1.-THE Castor Whip Tenure" On
Palm Sunday every year a servant
from the Broughton estate attends
service at Castor church with a new
cart whip, and, after cracking it three
times on the porch, marches with it to
the manor house.
AS the clergyman begins to deliver
his sermon the servant quits his
seat. A purse containing 80 pieces
of silver is fixed at the end of the
whiplash, and, kneeling on cushion,
he holds the purse suspended over the
head of the minister until the end OF
the sermon. Then purse and whip are
left at the manor house.
The Whisper Court" at Rockford,
in Essex, is a strange Michaelmas OBJ
servance held under the auspices of
the steward of the manor. The bust
ness of the court is transacted at mid
night in the open air. The absence
of tenant is punishable by fine of
double his rent for each hour he fails
to be in attendance; no artificial light
except a firebrand is permitted; the
proceedings are recorded by means OF
one of the embers of the brand. The
roll of IA tenants is called and an
swered in a whisper, and then all
kneel and swear allegiance.
In explanation of this odd ceremony
it is said that many years ago the lord
Of the manor, after an absence from
his estate, was returning home at
night. Passing over what is known as
Kings hill. he accidentally heard some
Of his disconnected tenantry plotting
his assassination, and thus warned,
went home by an unexpected route.
He enacted that from that time forth
the tenants on his estate should as
semble every year exactly at the same
time to do him homage round post
which he caused to be erected on the
precise spot where the plotters met

The petition which the town board
of Pleasant Prairie is to make to the
state railroad commission for a subway
at the South Park avenue crossing of
the road, should be backed by every
organization and individual interested
in road Improvement work in the
county. The crossing in question IS
one of the most dangerous anywhere
along the line of the railroads and the
big increase in travel which will fol
low the concreting of the road will
largely increase the chances of acct
dents. The time to build the subway
is when the road is being improved
and before the heavy travel begins.
Conditions are such at this crossing
that accidents are certain if the road
is much used as it will be when the
concreting is completed further south
and the subway should be built before
any lives are sacrificed at that point.
It is realized that it is impossible for
the railway company to comply imme-
diately with all of the demands that
are made for subways and that the
elimination Of grade crossings in cities
must come first, but this is an excep-
tional case.

The leaders of the Kenosha county
democrats are not making any bluffs
in regard to the plans for a state con-
vention They are not getting excited
over any planks to be inserted in the
platform of the party or striving for
prominent places in the proceedings
of the convention. They are strong
in the belief that only fractional fight
can endanger the success of their par
ty at the polls in the coming election
and they do not propose to encourage
any of these fights within the ranks.
The democracy of this section of the
state is very generally strongly in
favor of Kearney for United States
senator and they do not care who
knows it, but they do not propose to go
much further than that at this time.

DON'T DODGE TRUTHS; YOU
CAN'T ESCAPE.

Six years ago man in West Allis,
Wisconsin, consulted a physician. He
complained of being tired and in
somewhat run down condition. He
wanted tonic to brace him up The
physician upon close questioning found
that he had lost some weight and
coughed occasionally. The patient
made light Of his symptoms and insist
ed that he was not really i'll but need.

The physician made a thorough ex-
animation of the patient and finally
concluded that he had to deal with.
case of consumption. He frankly told
his visitor so and advised proper treat
ment. The patient, however, would
have none Of it. He pooh-poohed the
suggestion. 1t was utter nonsense.
Instead of beginning treatment he
consulted another doctor. The latter
told that patient what he wanted to
hear-that he had no tuberculosis and
that he needed only to take care of
himself for time, and he would be
all right Fortified III this manner,
the patient vented his spleen upon the
first doctor, DR.. Blank, who had made
him uncomfortable for a moment.
West AlIis is not large town. The
news that DR.. Blank was crazy on
the subject of tuberculosis" was easily
and rapidly spread. The doctor lost
patients. Many new ones did not wish
to consult a physician who "exagger-
aated the symptoms of a little cold
into dangerous case of tuberculosis, !"
etc.
tuberculosis drags along. Indeed it
moves as slowly and stealthily as
snake. 1t was just the other day that
the patient died-of tuberculosis. It
took six years to vindicate DR.. Blank.
The patient never did apologize for his
Iibelous statements More than that,
/ believe I am safe in guessing that
he never even forgave the doctor for
telling him an unpleasant truth.
Strange commentary on human nature,
that, isn't it?
That story is being duplicated all
over the state many, many times each
year. Indeed it illustrates one of the
most important reasons why tubercu-
losis succeeds in killing so many peo-
pie Ask your family physician, for
instance, if he hasn't had a similar ex-
perience. Some practitioners have had

telling their patients unpleasant truths
for which they are rewarded by abuse
only. Others, of more heroic mould,

sequence in pocketbook and reputation

The invasion of Westchester county
and Long Island by the gypsy moth
constitutes it's first real attack on the
state. It was unknown here until two
or three years ago; though it was raw
aging New England, its outposts were
unable to gain a foothold across New
York borders.
They are veritable Mexican banditti,
these insects. They have done damage
to trees and shrubbery in the eastern
states estimated at millions of dollars,
and millions of dollars have been spent
in fighting them. Every land owner
here ought to assure himself that his
own property is not attacked, and the
vigorous campaign of defense begun by
the department of agriculture should
be pushed to complete victory. The
only safety lies in no quarter.-New

that date some eighty petitions from

hearing until the October term Of the

had petitions for second papers have
asked for a dismissal of the petitions
on account of the fact that witnesses
who were to have testified to their
residence in the city and state have
found that their own citizenship was
in doubt. Only thirty-fve petitions
have been fled for hearing at the
October term, this number being the
