Milwaukee Trade Boosters
Will Not Visit Kenosha on
the Trip Scheduled for
Next Tuesday.
PEEvED AT COUNCIL ACTION

The Merchants and Manufacturers
association of Milwaukee has planned
for its booster trip over the electric
lines leading out of Milwaukee for
next Tuesday but the city of Kenosha
is not included on the list of stops to
be made by the visitors. It is just
possible that the committee in charge
of the trip is a little peeved at Keno
sha on account of the action of the
common council in insisting that the
booster stop at the North limits of the
city. Nothing is said in regard to the
action of the Kenosha council in the
announcement of the trip but the stop
at Kenosha has simply been dropped.
The plan for the trip included the pro-
motion of freight business over the
electric lines to and from Milwaukee
and it is not probable that the failure
of the party to come to Kenosha will
make much difference. There is a grave
question as to whether or not the com
pany will seek to handle freight and
express into Kenosha. This was one
of the matters to be taken up on the
trip on Tuesday.
There is wide difference Of opinion
as to the right of the Milwaukee, Ra-
cine and Electric company to carry
freight into Kenosha should the cars
ever be operated into the down town
district. The franchises of the Keno
sha Electric Railway company confer
red no powers to carry freight or ex-
press and any rights to come into the
city that the Milwaukee company may
get in the future must be over the
lines of the Kenosha Electric Railway
company. 1T is claimed that under
decision and order of the Wisconsin
Railroad commission the company has
the right to carry freight in the town
of Somers and south as far as the limits
of Kenosha
Somers people have made no objec-
tion to the carrying of freight and it is
possible that the people living along
the lines north of the city would vel
come new method of transportation
for products. 1t is said that the Mil
waukee company plans to make its
freight business attractive.
In the trip on Tuesday the Milwau-
kee boosters will go to Waterford, Big
Bend, Mukwonago, East Troy and poss-
IDLY, Racine.
1t is said that before the company
makes any effort to carry freight on
any of the lines an effort will be made
to secure the consent of the people liv-
ing on roads and streets over which the
line passes. The freight service is
scheduled to be inaugurated on the first
day Of December.

majesty of the law the young woman
failed to relent and she ordered the
man at the wheel to slet her out. =
Lutter gave another warning and got
a bead on the car with his revolver but
this failed to have the desired effect
He let fire with a couple of shots into
the air but the Kenosha automobile
never stopped. Then Lutter decided
that the night was too cold and the
speed too great for him to trail the au-
tomobile clear into Kenosha. He fol
lowed long enough to get the number
"133" with star after it was the
number. This morning the Racine depu-
ties came here looking for the owner
of the car. 1t was found that the num-
Der in question was one which had been
allotted by the state to one of the gar
ages in the city and with the aid of
Sheriff Stahl the Racine deputies start
ed to find out just who was driving all
of the cars connected with the garage
on Saturday night.
After the deputies had spent consid-
cradle time Charles Barrows declared
his willingness to go to Racine and tell
Judge Shielding what he knew about
just such a sort of proceeding on the
road. Tt was stated that the young
woman who had given the orders to
drive on regardless of the gun was a
Racine girl.

YOUNG WOMAN GIVES ORDERS
Deputy Sheriff Flourishes Revolver in

Morn.ag and Charles Barrows Went
Up to Appear In Court.

Deputies of Sheriff Sam Hollick Of
Racine came to Kenosha this morning
seeking to learn the identity of two
men and woman who were passen-
gers in an automobile on the Lake
Shore road just after nine O'Clock
Sunday night and who managed to es-
cape from DeGrove Lutter, the Racine
county motorcycle policeman, even
though the latter had drawn his re-
volver and made dire threats to shoot
up the tires of the car,
Evidently Lutter had quite an ex-
perience. He was loafng along the
road just after nine O'Clock about a
mile south Of Racine when he saw a
car coming from the north. cit was
coming so fast that I could see nothing
but a cloud of dust, said Lutter.
"The car passed me and then | went
after it. Lutter told the sheriff that
he speeded his motorcycle up to nearly
forty miles an hour before he got III
sight of the car again and he kept
feeding his motorcycle gas until he
managed to get along side the flying
automobile. Lutter gave a command
to halt in the name of the law and the
driver of the Kenosha car slowed down
a little but he failed to come to stop.
The young woman in the automobile
seemed to be the conversationalist for
the party and she advised Deputy Lut-
ter that there would be no stopping
and that emo one was going to be
pinched." Lutter drew his revolver
and began to finger it in a nervous
manner, but even with this show Of the

and he is getting along splendidly.
He has no trouble attending regular
classes and while he does not hear
much the ability to use his eyes to hear
with has given him a chance to go
through the university. The cost of
educating the children in these schools
for the deaf is averaging about one
hundred ninety-four dollars year
and this is just about half what it costs
per pupil at the state schools for the
deaf. These schools are now being
maintained in twenty-five Wisconsin
cities and OUTSIDE of Milwaukee they
have been maintained from year to year
within the appropriation set by the
state. This has removed the burden
of the education of the deaf entirely
OF the local community
The funds for the school for the deaf
in Kenosha are handled in a special
fund and regular reports are made.
Any balance that may remain after
the expenses of the school are paid
from the state appropriation is placed
in a special fund to pay the board Of
children who may be brought in from
outlying districts Of the county
Many Of these children come from the
families of the poor and the payment
Of board for them is necessary in order
to keep them in school.

GREAT BENEFIT FROM WORK
twenty-five Cities in the State Are Now
Maintaining These Schools and En-
tire Cost of Maintenance is Being
Paid from State Appropriation.


Inspector A. B. Cook of the state
superintendent s department, came to
Kenosha from Madison today to make
his semi annual inspection of the school
for the deaf maintained in connection
with the schools Of the city. This is
one school in Kenosha which is wholly
maintained by state support. The
school is located in room out on Ridge
street and is in charge of Miss Kath-
airline Reed. At the present time it has
registration Of ten pupils and for the
education of each of these children the
state pays annually to the board of ed
ucation the sum Of one hundred and
fifty dollars. In addition to this the
state allows the city school board an
added hundred dollars for each nom
resident child attending the school.
The Kenosha school has been highly
praised by the state inspector. It was
opened three years ago and has been
maintained as an ungraded school as it
has done much to take care not only
Of the deaf children in the city but
also Of those suffering from defective
speech.
We do not guarantee to cure STAN
mering like some Of the commercial
schools in this line Of work. said In
spector Cook this morning, "but these
schools about the state are doing a lot
to improve the condition of the boys
who stammer. In the school oral speech
is being taught to the deaf children.
just to show how well this works out
we cite\ the fact that Emil Stern, a
deaf boy educated in the Milwaukee

TIES UP TRAFFIC FOR AN HOUR.
Interurban Traffic is Halted When
Taxicab Skids Into a Trolley
Pole in Racine.

A taxicab belonging to T. Krupski
of 1880 Twelfth street, Racine, was
wrecked and traffic on the interurban
line between Racine and Kenosha was
suspended for more than an hour Fri
day afternoon when the automobile
crashed into one of the poles which
hold up the trolley wires.
The accident took place near Pike
Creek, which is about two miles north
Of Kenosha. The road was very slip
perry because of the rain and snow, and
Krupski's automobile skidded and
crashed into the pole. 1t was going
at a speed sufficient to snap the heavy
pole off the bottom as though it was a
pipe stem, and with the falling of the
pole, trolley and telephone wires also
fell to the ground
Krupski escaped with only a few
bruises, although his auto was so badly
wrecked it had to be hauled to garage.
The trolley and telephone wires were
tangled up, and it was necessary to
send the Racine wrecking crew to the
scene. The crew worked for over an
hour before things were cleared up and
it was impossible for the one O'Clock
interurban car to make the trip to
Kenosha.
