CAR COMPANIES LEARN LESSON
Claimed That Railway to the Lake Reg
ions Would Not Prove a Paying
Proposition Unless Very Low Rates
of Fare Were offered by Company.

Jitney traffic out to the lake regions
and to rural districts Of the county is
failure and the half dozen automo-
bile drivers who have been trying out
the trip to the lakes declare that it is
a 3frost.o All of the jitneys and other
BUSES which sought to get the lake
traffic have given up in disgust and
when these motor driven buses go to
the lakes now it is with the assurance
that they are going to have a full load
of passengers with sufficient for the
trip to insure payment of expenses.
The fare to the lakes is too large
for the people and too small for the
drivers Of the automobiles, said one
of the drivers today. A man could
not earn his salt making regular trips
to the western Kenosha county line.
About one trip in ten the load would
be enough to pay for the gasoline con
sumed and the rest Of the time the
business would be run at loss,
Country people do not take kindly to
the idea of the jitney bus. They seem
to think, that a JItney is nickel and
that when any one wants to charge
them more than nickel to ride, even
if they are going to ride twenty miles,
that they are being robbed. The people
in the city who want to go out to the
lakes look a long time before they
will pay a dollar to ride in an automo-
bile when they can go out on train
for fifty cents. People are not nearly
as anxious to ride in automobiles now
as they were when the first automobile
was put into service and a man can
make a lot more money just running
the car about the streets of the city
than he can running out to the lakes
OF course, nearly any Of the iitney
drivers will agree to take a party out
to the lakes for specified amount,
but none of them will take a chance

and establish regular routes out there.
In order to run a car with anything
like profit it is necessary to get seven
cents a mile and it is mighty hard
getting this out of these trips out into
the country.
The failure of the jitney business in
the rural districts has been watched
with lot Of interest by the street
railway men and they claim that this
shows pretty conclusively that an cleo
trio railway run through the same ter
ritory would have the same sort Of
failure. OF course the railway trains
would rrn on regular schedules and
possibly the rate Of fare would not be
as large as has been charged by some
of the automobile drivers and this fact
might make the cars more appealing
to the people in the rural districts.
However, the railway men do not seem
to be willing to take a chance and af
ter watching the experiment of the
auto BUSES they have declared that
they are convinced that it will be
good many years before rural cleo
trio railway to the west from Kenosha
will be a paying proposition.

that I will do everything in my power
to make the Kenosha post Office the
best office in the country and 1 want

Many of the men who had been can

first to congratulate Mr.. German on
his appointment this morning and there
was no open sign Of bitter disappoint-
ment among any Of the candidates.
M. T. Zens, the present assistant

MAKE UP ANNUAL REPORT.
County Board of Education Members
Send Report to State Supt. of Schools

A. G. Pacey of Wi1mot, president Of
the county board Of education and
Raymond Powell of Bristol, the secre-
tary, were busy today making up the
annual report of the board which will
be forwarded to the state superinten-
dent of schools later in the day.
The report covers all the activities Of
the board during the year and on it
the state will make an appropriation
of five hundred dollars for the ex-
penses of the board during the coming
year. The report shows that the board
has held fourteen meetings in the
year, eleven of which were called for
the purpose of acting on proposed
changes in school district lines. The
members of the board have spent CON
siderable time keeping in close touch
with the actual work of the schools in
the various districts Of the county.
Every school in the county has been
visited by one of the members of the
board and suggestions have been made
to teachers and district officers for the
betterment of conditions. In Kenosha
county the county school board plan
has been given a hearty endorsement
of the officials of many Of the school
districts and it has been given the
hearty support of the county superin-
tendent. The repeal of the law MAX
ing possible the handling of the school
work by a county board has been given
little consideration in this county.
The report sent to the state superin-
tendent today will be filed with the
county board of Kenosha county be-
fore the opening of the November
session.

PRESENTED BYINVENTOR's sON
Old Model Over Which the Late G. L.
Sholes, Former Kenosha Editor, Toiled
for Years Is Made Part of Histori-
cal Collection at Capital.

Earlier history of Kenosha is re-
called in a gift which has just been
made to the Wisconsin State Histori-
cal Society by F. G. Sholes, a son of
G. Latham Sholes, one time Kenosha
editor and one of the best known of
the pioneers of Kenosha and South
port. Up in the museum of the his
torical society at Madison place of
honor has just been given to the fam
Gus old Sholes typewriter model. It
was the first typewriter ever made in
the United States and it was made in
Kenosha. It is declared that all of the
thousands and millions of machines
now in use are made along the same
principle. There are still few pio-
neers in Kenosha who remember the
early efforts OF G. L. Sholes to make a
writing machine. These same people
remember how a lot of people thought
that Sholes was wasting his time, but
the former Kenosha editor was of the
inventive mind and he kept working
right along regardless of the discour-
agements that came to him in the
early days.
Just after the war was over G. L..
Shoies, who was then the editor of the
Kenosha Telegraph, found that writing
editorials and "copy" with quill
pen or even a new tangled steel pen,
was a nuisance and he began to give
his attention to the building of ma
chine that would write. He worked at
the invention for years in the old Of
fees of the Kenosha Telegraph and it
was not until 1868 that he completed
his first model It was a little crude,
but it was a typewriter just the
same and on June 23rd of 1868 the old
model was sent to the patent office at
Washington and the Kenosha man Sc
cured a patent on it. A few years
later when Sholes needed capital to
manufacture typewriters he entered
into a contract with E. Remington
and Sons, who up to that time had
manufactured nothing but firearms,
and in the factory of this company the
first twenty-five thousand typewriters
ever used in the world were made af
tie rthe Sholes model Then they be-
gan to make improvements and in a
few years the manufacture of the ma
chimes had passed almost entirely out
of the hands of the Sholes family.
The Sholes patent, however, was the
foundation for the Remington ma
chine and for dozen other practical
machines which are now on the mar
ket. While the typewriter is now one
Of the necessities of the business
world the Sholes family did not make
a fortune out of the invention.
The old model made in Kenosha in
time became the property of F. G..
Sholes, son of the inventor and he has
now sent it to the Wisconsin Histori-
cal Society Museum. It will be one
Of the most interesting Of all the ex-
hibits Of the museum for Kenosha
visitors to Madison in the future.

SAME OLD STORY.

baseball game from the Kehlor team
and when the scorers quit work the
score was IS to 2 in favor of the sheriff
and the men he had behind him. John
NJ. Kehlor was in the box for the OPP
posing team and he was hit all over
the field. In the other sports put on
Ben NJ. DeDiemar won the 100 yard
dash for fat men; DeDiemar and John
Wallig won the three legged race and
Wallig won the 80 yard dash. Hand

Barring few saloonkeepers in the
vicinity of the grounds on which these
shows are held the business men Of the
city will generally approve of the move
made by the council to limit the num-
Der of carnival shows TO be held in
Kenosha. AS the rule these shows are
the reverse of high grade attractions
and their visit to the city almost in
variably result in an increase of bust
ness in the courts. The small amount
that the city gets as license fees falls
tar short of paying the extra expenses
N the way of policing, street cleaning,
stc., that must be met as result of
The visits of these shows and every dol
ar they take out Of town is gone for
aver.

FISCHER-HANSEN'S
SUIT DISMISSED
Claim Against Brokaw Estate of
100000 for Legal Services
Denied by Court.

The heirs Of Isaac Brokaw won their
FIRST battle with Carl Fischer Hansen
Yesterday. in the Supreme Court. Rock
land County, when his sui, against
the estate for legal services. which ne
valued at 100000. was dismissed by
Justice Mills without going to the Jury:
On Monday the dsbarred lawyer VIII
be the defendant in an action 70 re-
cover S22. 200. alleged loans made 20
HIM by Isaac Brokaw.
Fischer Hansen was formerly the
son-in-law OF the clothier. but was d.
vorced by his wife, Elvira, who has
since Secome Mrs McNair. She was
one Of the defendants. The others
were her mother and three brothers,
Howard, Irwin and George. They were
made executors of the will. although
Fischer Hansen maintained that he was
to handle the estate. He was so named
in a former will.
Part Of the plaintiffs efforts yester-
day was 10 show the value or the es-
tate so that his percentage as an eX-
ecutor might be fixed. Against the
argument Of Howard Taylor, attorney
for the heirs, Justice Mills admitted
testimony by Roy Gasker, lawyer,
concerned in the administration. Gas
ker set the value at S12,270, 1889. or
this total s4.20S. 700 was in real es-
tate and s492.197 in cash.
Justice Mills said that the flaw IN
the plaintiffs case was his failure 20
produce evidence Of a contract for
loyal services THE whole situation
warrants the inference" he added,
that everything was gratutous.'
