The following racy letter from C. D. Hemmiug of Los Augleses will be especially interesting to readers of the Daily Alaskan for the re@- son that the writer is known person ally to many of them, he having mada several trips through the north gathering material and soliciting subscriptions for Folks Aiaska-Yukon Gazateer and Busi- ness Directory, the last edition of which was issued in 1912. NIT. IIemmiug has spent q good portion of hls life in the publicity business and his methods have always brought results; hence, his suEges- tious should receive the serious consideration they deserve.

ADMTrs BURGLARY ATTEMPT.
E. r. Reynolds of Grand Rapids, Mich,
Attempted to Break Into House.

3. r. Reynolds, who claims his home
is Grand Rapids, Mich, is being held
by the police pending hearing on
charges of attempting to break into
the home of w. G. Arnold on West
Prairie avenue. Reynolds admitted to
the police Sunday that he attempted
to enter the house and claimed that
he was working under the orders of a
man in Chicago known as "Dago Cur
ley Philips = He claims that this
man had promised to provide him with
a set of burglar tools if he pulled off
a successful robbery here. Philips
was also alleged to be coming to Ke-
nosha to join Reynolds. Reynolds
came into Kenosha late Friday night
and went to the home of well known
Kenosha doctor. He told him he had
come here to commit burglary, but if
he was given money enough to get out
of town the burglary would not be
marn insane zrfinamerdzF Zdobbnu ct
committed. The doctor, believing the
man insane, turned him over to the po-
lice. Letters have been sent to the
police at Grand Rapids, Mich, asking
for some facts in regard to the career
of Reynolds. He claims to have been
recently released after serving two
and half years in the state reforma-
tory at Ionia, Mich. If Dago Curley
Philips comes to Kenosha he will also
be picked up by the police and held.

UT|L|TYpL FOR BURLINGTON
Company With Plants in Racine and
Kenosha Increases Capital Stock to
Make Possible New Plant-Jitney Bus
Ravages Not Responsible for Bonds.


The Wisconsin Gas and Electric
Company owning and operating the
gas utilities in Racine, Cudahy, South
Milwaukee and the gas and electric
heating and railway utilities in Keno
sha, has arranged to increase the
issue of first mortgage bonds in the
amount Of $35O,0OO, to enable it to
finance portion of its floating debt,
representing new construction under
taken since it's last issue of securi-
ties in 1912.
The company also proposes to in
crease its issue of capitol stock by
$150,000, to place it in position to Sc
cure the electric utility in Burlington
and the gas and electric utility in
Watertown, including a twenty eight
mile electric transmission line serving
power to various cities south of
WATERFOWL.
The price, at which the Burlington
and Watertown properties will be
acquired if approved by the railroad
commission, will be advantageous to
the company. The increase in the num-
Der and diversity of the companies is
of advantage to it's customers, the pub
lie and its security holders alike, as
the strength and stability of the com
pany and the security back of the
bonds, already classed among the best
public utility securities in the country,
is materially increased.
While it is admitted that the rail
way earnings of the company in Keno
sha and Racine have been greatly re-
duced in the past six months, it is de-
clared that reduction in this income
has had nothing to do with the issuance
Of bonds and that the bonds were
planned some time before this big fall
ing off in railway receipts was noticed
Tt is understood that the gas and cleo
trio utilities in both Kenosha and
Racine have shown considerable In
crease in business. It is declared that
the reduction of rates for these utili-
ties is being planned and that such a
reduction will come just as soon as
proper regulation of the jitney bus
business makes it possible for the com
pany to have an even break in its rail
way business. 1t is known that an
application has been made to the rail
road commission for a readjustment of
rates in Kenosha. 1t is said that this
change would be favorable to the con
sumers. No decision has been handed
down in the matter and it is under
stood that the decision is being held up
pending the handling Of the jitney bus
question.
A reduction of rates here is not en-
tirely dependent on regulation of jit-
ney buses, but it is certain that either
state or city regulation would 60 long
way toward having the new scale Of
rates put into effect.

GERMAN PRINTERS HERE.
More Than Two Hundred from Milwau-
kee and Chicago in Kenosha Sunday.


Kenosha was host on Sunday after
noon to more than two hundred German
printers when the annual joint picnic
of Chicago No. and Milwaukee No. 10
OF the German Typographical Union
was held at Schend's Park. Twenty
automobiles brought hundred mem
bers of the Chicago union while more
than hundred and fifty of the German
printers of Milwaukee came down for
the picnic. 1t was great day for the
visiting printers. A program of great
interest was arranged by the committee
in charge and there was something
doing from the time the printers reach
ed Kenosha until they left late in the
evening. Featured on the program were
selections rendered by the German
Mannerchoir of Milwaukee Forty of
as good singers as have ever been heard
in Kenosha made up the organization
and the music was a great addition to
the program of the day. The visitors
returned to Milwaukee and Chicago
late in the evening after giving assur-
ance that the 1916 reunion would be
held in Kenosha.

FOR FREE BATHING SUITS.
Council to be Asked to Furnish Free
Suits at the Municipal Beach.

When the city council meets on next
Monday evening efforts are going to
be made to have the city furnish free
bathing suits for use at the municipal
beach to people who are unable to pay
the small fee that has been charged in
the past. The mayor is urging the
council to take this action in order to
do away with the necessity of boys
going to the cold Swimming Hole'
up on Pike Creek. Tt is declared that
this hole in the creek has claimed more
than dozen lives in the last fifteen
years. The boys go up there to battle
to get away from the cost of buying
bathing suits. 1t is declared that an
effort will be made to have the owners
of the property surrounding the creek
fence it in and put an end to the use
Of the creek for bathing. The total
receipts of the city from the lease of
bathing suits are decidedly small and
it is certain that the city would not
lose a great deal if the suits were
furnished free to all bathers who
sought to use them. In any of the
larger cities free bathing suits are
furnished at all of the bathing beaches.
