IS NOT DISCUSSED
Commission Gives It's Session in the
City to Discussion of Crossing Pro-
ject When Attorney for Northwest
ern Gould Not Get to the City.

The Wisconsin Railroad Commission
probed deep into the necessity of better
protection of the crossings Of the
Chicago and Milwaukee Electric road
in Kenosha today and Commissioner
Walter Alexander of Madison, presided
over hearing at the city hall which
promised to take up the entire day.
The railway company was represented
by Attorney Bull of Chicago and while
no statement was made as to the nature
Of the objections that the company
would make against gates and flag men
it was evidenced from the questions put
to the witnesses that the company is
going to contest any order of the com
mission. City Attorney John G. Slater
had charge of the presentation of the
case Of the city. The city demanded
crossings at Selleck avenue, Salem
avenue, Prairie avenue and Grand
avenue. It is thought that single
set of gates can be made to take care
of the two crossings at Selleck and
Salem avenues. Commissioner Alex
ander lie to Kenosha early this morn
ing and an hour before the time set for
the hearing he was out making a per-
sonal investigation Of the conditions
along the electric line. He visited
every one of the crossings and made
many notes of conditions.
The city based it's demand for cross
ings on the large number Of people
crossing the tracks of the company
daily ard on reports of accidents which
have taken place in the past few
months. On account of the fact that
the commission stenographer failed to
reach Kenosha the actual work of the
hearing was not taken up until just
before the noon hour Alderman Viii
| liam Goodman, chairman of the trans
portation COZ mittee Of the common
council, was called as the principal wit
ness for the city. He presented figures
showing the traffic over the crossings
where gates have been demanded.
These figures were made by police of
fcers on last Wednesday and Thurs
day On Thursday it was shown that

EAGLES CLUB HOUSE scoRcHED.
New Building Has Narrow Escape
from Destruction by Fire Just
After Noon on Sunday

The new club house of the Kenosha
AeFie of the Fraternal Order of Eagles
had a mighty close call from being de-
stroyed or badly damaged by fire just
after noon Sunday when flames which
were probably caused by some one
throwing a lighted cigar between the
walls, caused damage of more than one
hundred dollars. The fire was discov-
cred by members of the committee who
went over to inspect the building. The
flames had found way along the side
Of the building and were rapidly de-
vouring the floor Of the handsome east
club room. The department made run
to the new building and managed to ex-
tinguish the blaze with a small tank
Of chemicals. Had the members Of the
committee not reached the building just
about the time they did there would
have been very serious fire. Work
men were busy this morning restoring
the floor of the club room. It is prob
able that much Of the floor will have
to be relaid. In the future men with
cigars will be kept out of the building
until it is completed.

HALLOWEEN QUIET.
Boys and Girls of Kenosha Have Merry
Time but Police Supervision
Stops Vandalism.

Kenosha got away with quiet Hal
lowe ZEN this year and although the
boys and girls had two nights Of cele-
brating no serious damage to property
was reported at police headquarters
and no arrests were made as result of
the observance of the double festival
night. The soap artists managed to
evade the watchful eyes of the special
police officers and in many parts of the
city windows were soaped, but in most
cases this was the work of small boys
and girls. The old timers who were
accustomed to make HalloWe ZEN some
thing of terror to the police and to
property owners failed to turn out in
force this year. There was, however,
the usual number of out buildings turn
ed over and the usual number of gates
and chairs taken from yards and
porches. The special police officers on
duty Saturday and Sunday night all
reported that everything was com
paratively quiet" While there was a
large number of defendants in the
municipal court this morning none of
them were charged with violating the
police regulations in regard to Hal
lowe ZEN.

Saturday night the streets in front Of
windows in which the displays had

especial interest to the crowds and the
sidewalks in front of these exhibits

features during the week and these

FIXES VALUE AT $4,000.
Commissioners Named to Appraise the
Value of Karnes Property Make
Return to Circuit Court.

J. H. Charles, Samuel G. Newman
and Frank Waldo, named by Judge
Randall as commissioners to appraise
the value of property belonging to the
Misses Sarah f. Karnes and Mary M.
Karnes, sought for the industrial tracks
of the Chicago and North Western
Railway company, under condemnation
proceedings, fled their report with the
clerk Of the circuit court today. They
fix the value of the property sought by
the railway company at 81 400 and to
this is added damages in the amount
Of 800 to other property known to be
owned by the Karnes sisters. The com
mission adds further damages of 5000
for property to the east of the prop
erty sought by the company with the
proviso that the two sisters prove their
right to title to this land. 1t is not
known what further steps will be filed
in the matter. No notice of an appeal
frol- the decision Of the commission
has been fled with the clerk.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1915-11-04

nearly seven thousand men, women and
children crossed the tracks at the three
CROSSINGS and on the same day there
were eighteen hundred vehicles The
heaviest traffic was found at Prairie
avenue, but that at Salem avenue was
nearly as great.
In addition to these statistics the
city had large number of witnesses
ready to be heard this afternoon.
These were people who had been par
Elephants or witnesses to accidents due
to lack Of protection of the crossings.
In addition to this evidence the city
was ready to submit copies of court
dockets showing that large judgments
had been entered against the company
on account of accidents which had
taken place on crossings within the
city of Kenosha.
There was some suggestion of pos
sible early change in management of
the lines of the Chicago and Milwau-
kee, but no mention was made on this
in the formal hearing before Commits
sioner Alexander
It was admitted that traffic at Tanck
avenue and Avery street would not at
this time warrant the installation Of
gates and the employment of flag
man and the city was fair enough to
admit that the fact that the station
of the company was located at the
Elizabeth street crossing had made it
unnecessary to install gates at this
crossing.
Commissioner Alexander declined to
discuss the possible order of the com
mission in regard to the crossings. He
was busy, however, figuring out the
cost of the changes to the company.
1t had been expected that the city
would have large number of people
wiz live on streets crossed by the rail
way as witnesses but these people did
not show interest enough in the mat
ter to wait when it became necessary
to adjourn the opening of the hearing
until nearly noon.
No hearing was held on the elevation
plans today as Attorney Wheeler of
the North Western company found it
impossible for him to come to Kenosha
It is expected that this matter will be
taken up later time.
