ROB TERMINAL STATION AGAIN.
Burglars Enter Store of Mrs. Belle Will
son on Milwaukee Avenue Today.

The store of Mrs. Belle Wilson, ZIG
Milwaukee avenue, which is used as
the terminal Of the Milwaukee, Racine
and Kenosha Electric line, had another
visit from burglars some time after
midnight this morning and the burg
lars who took out one of the windows
leading to the little building reaped a
rich harvest. They secured gum and
candy and other sweet meats to the
value of close to a hundred dollars.
Mrs. Wilson had closed up the store
just before midnight last night and
at that time no suspicious characters
were seen in the neighborhood. The
tracks left in the soft earth under the
window which had been taken out in
Dictated that both men and boys had
been connected with the robbery of
the place. Sheriff Stahl was notified
Of the burglary early this morning and
he searched all over that territory in
an effort to find some cleW to the gull
ty parties, but found nothing 1t is
probable that new band of boy burg
lars is working over on the north side
as it is thought that the work was
certainly the work Of local talent.

Governor Appoints Commission to Find
Out and Suggestions are in Order.
Who is Wisconsin s most distinguish
ed citizeng
This question is to be decided by a
committee appointed on Friday by
Gov, Philip, of which the Rev. E. G.
Updike of Madison is chairman. The
other members of the committee are
Theodore o. Vilter of the Vilter Man
ufacturing company of Milwaukee,
George H. Gordon, attorney of La
Crosse; Prof. L. d. Harvey, head of
Stout Institute at Menomonie; DR.. H.
A. Sifton, surgeon of Milwaukee,; A.

awarded a testimonial of distinction.
Some person distinguished in states

CAN'T GET MEN HERE.
Sewer Contractors Forced to Go to
Other Cities for Sewer Diggers.

There may be idle men in Kenosha
and lots of them, but if such is the
case these men are refusing to work
in the trenches for big sewers now be-
ing laid in the city and the contractors
are being forced to import men from
other cities in order to keep construc-
ton work moving. 1t is declared that
efforts have been made to get men to
work at the rate of two dollars a day,
but that Kenosha men who have been
found have refused to accept this rate
of wages. Contractor Kennedy, in
charge of the building of the inter
cepting sewer, has been in the market
for men right along, but the few ap-
plications that he has had were not
from men who really wanted the work.
1t is probable that when the cold
weather comes and the drain on the
pauper department. gets stronger that
there will be lot of men who will
insist that they could not get work.
The attention of these men is now be-
ing called to the fact that men are
wanted for sewer work and wanted
badly.

REVIVE OLD PROJECT.
Electric Line Through Western Part
OF County Again Being Considered.

With more favorable financial condi-
lions it is declared that the project of
building an electric railway from Wood
stock, Ill. to the northern part of Wis
consln to connect with Lake Geneva
Is again being considered. The route
OF the line as surveyed some years ago
included a line through several of the
Kenosha county towns. The plans of
the company are admitted to be very
indefinite. It is said that the company
is to be organized by capitalists from
Chicago, Waukegan and Woodstock and
that the ultimate aim of the company
IS not only to build line to connect
Woodstock and Lake Geneva but a
line will also be built into Waukegan.

EXPLOSIVES ON LUs|TANIA /?
Former Kenosha Woman Demands
Heavy Damages for the Loss Of the
Lives of Her Husband and Father
And Opens Interesting Controversy.

Mrs. Sarah Lund, former Kenosha
woman and the wife of Charley Lund,
a former telegraph operator for the
Northwestern Railway in Kenosha, who
lost his life when the steamer Lusitania
was torpedoed by German submarine,
is plaintiff in suit filed in the United
States district court in Chicago on Fri
day afternoon in which she demands
damages to the amount of $4,000 for
the loss of her husband and her father
William Mourrisey, of Chicago on the
steamer. The suit is brought against
the Cunard Steamship company, w. T..
Turner it's captain and Dudley Field
Malone, collector of the port at New
York City and it is based on violations
of the federal regulations which pro-
hibit the transportation of explosives
on steamers carrying passengers. The
suit of the former Kenosha woman at
once brings international attention as
in her action she has raised many ques-
tions regarding the cargo of the Lusi-
tania which have been raised by the
German government in connection with
efforts to have peaceable settlement
of claims of Lusitania victims.
Other results are not at all unlikely
in view of some of the charges which
are included in the bill but not pressed,
and the quotation of law tending to
form the basis for wholesale charges
of manslaughter and "high misdemean-
orr Penalties in fines and imprison-
ment are high.
The bill makes several charges not
hitherto preferred. Among these is the
definite charge that the Lusitania car
ried sections of submarines intended
for assembling and use in the Euro
pean war. A later bill is expected to
charge the transportation of aeroplanes
as we'll.
Another allegation already known
fixes the amount of ammunition carried
at upwards of SAL cases of cartfid-
ges and ammunition, gun cotton, dyna-
mite, nitroglycerine, camphene, naph-
tina, benzole, as well as large guam
tity of other highly dangerous explos-
ives
So far as the cartridges are concern
ed, Germany has already made that
charge, and the president has denied
that the carrying of fixed ammuni-
tom where cartridges classify is a
violation, the law referring to high ex-
plosives, like dynamite. Germany new
er answered the president challenge
to prove an American official negligent.
Hence Washington announces that the
government will assume the defense of
Collector Malone.
Still another count charges the carry
ing of British soldiers and recruits.
Others charge failure to protect the
safety of passengers.
The inclusion of Collector Malone in
the suit is explained by liberal quota
tions from the statutes providing pen
alties for the false certifying of car
goes by the responsible port inspector.
The carrying of explosives alone on
passenger ships brings penalty of
$500 against the vessel, of $500 and
six months Imprisonment against the
inspector, of $4,000 and eighteen
months Imprisonment against the
shipper.

Contractor Prang Throws
Up His Hands and Would
Transfer His Contract.
TO POCKET LOSS OF $4,000

Work on tt, extension of the trunk
sewer on the southwest side of the
city has been stopped and A. III. Prang,
the Grand Rapids contractor, who had
the contract, has thrown up his hands
and has asked the sewer committee of
the council for the privilege of trans
ferrinA his contract to another. j. T..
Kennedy of Fargo, North Dakota,
who had the contract for the intercept
ing sewer now under construction, has
been asked by Contractor Prang to
finish the extension of the trunk sewer
and he may be willing to take over the
contract if the proper arrangements
can be made with the city for the ex
tension of the time for the completion
of the work.
Prang has failed to meet the de-
mands of the street assessment COM
mittee. An appeal was made to his
bondsmen and new start taken on
the work, but the contractor now ad-
mits that it would be impossible for
him to complete the work by the time
named in the contract. This was the
first day of January. No other con-
tractor could complete the work in that
time and if a transfer of the contract
is made to Kennedy the council will
be forced to grant an extension of time
for the completion of the work.
Chairman Sullivan of the sewer COM
mittee of the council, in discussing the
question this morning, said: We are
convinced that Prang can not complete
the work at the rate he is going now
in two years. He wants to get out
from under and is willing to pocket a
considerable loss in order to get out
of Kenosha. / thinks that he has lost
no less than fifteen thousand dollars
up to this time and he is ready to
abandon all work that he has done on
the sewer to new contractor and
leave his machinery here to be used in
the completion of the work. Prang
viii be forced to lose lot of money if
the city insists that he complete this
contract He has made plain state
ment of facts in the matter. We have
no objection to the transfer of the
contract to Kennedy, but if the trans
fer is made Kennedy will undoubtedly
insist ON an extension of the time for
the completion of the work The mat
ter will be one for the council to de-
eide. One thing is certain and that is
if the sewer is to be finished some
new provision must be made. There
has been no objection to the nature Of
the work done by the Grand Rapids
man, but he is unable to get the work
moving fast enough. I understand that
Kennedy has shown willingness to
take over the contract
Contractor Prang has never present
ed an estimate to the council and he
has not been paid a cent for the work
that has been done up to the present
time. Members of the council were
hopeful that the work would be COM
pleted so as to insure sewage to the
people in the newly annexed territory
early in the new year, but there is lit
tie chance now that these sewers will
be ready for use before late in the
summer of 1916.

In an opinion to c. j. Smith of Viro-

that an automobile that makes regular

the jitney law. He points out that the
services rendered is not similar to
that afforded to q street railway

ably see in this opinion a considerable
change in the usual construction of the
