EXPECT LONG ADJOURNMENT
Harold L. Giesse, Secretary of Railroad
Commission, Here to Testify But He
Claims the Commission Is Not Exs
pected to Prosecute Cases.

The tWenty-nine eases charging Vfo.
lations of the regulations for jitueys
under the state law were called in the
Municipal Court this morning but an
adjournment was taken until this af-
ternoon with the understanding that
at that time a longer adjournment viii
be taken. 1t was announced that the
cases are to be fought out with view
of securing a final decision from the
Supreme Court on the provisions of all
features of the iitney law. W. r.
Rubin of Milwaukee, and R. V. Baker
of this city, will represent the jitney
drivers in the extended legislation and
the state will be represented by Dis
trict Attorney A. L. Drury and possibly
later by Attorney General Walter
Owen. 1t was stipulated among the
attorneys this morning that one case
representing each form of violation
will be put on trial before the court.
AS both the jitney men and the state
are anxious to get ruling on the vari-
Gus features Of the law it is thought
that the jury right will be waived.
Harold L. Giesse of Madison, secre-
tary of the Wisconsin Railroad Cam
mission, was in court this morning to
represent the commission as a witness.
but he declared that the commits
sion would have no part in the prose-
cution of the eases.
"The position of the commission"
said Secretary Giesse, els wholly a
perfunctory one. We have no powers
Of regulations under the state law and
our duty is simply to pass on the suf-
ficiency of the statements and bonds of
fered by the jitney drivers. The en-
forcement of the regulations provided
by the state law is matter for the
local officials just the same as the en-
forcement of any other criminal
statute. We are anxious to see the test
case made, however, in order that the
commission may know just what pow
ers the state has for regulation
The adjournment until later in the
day was taken to allow the counsel to
confer with Attorney Pubin as to the
admission of certain formal proofs. If
these proofs are admitted an adjourn
.ment will be taken for a week or ten
days to give the attorneys time to pre-
pare the defense. District Attorney
Drury declared mat he hoped to try
the cases SO that the appeal could go
to the Supreme Court for hearing at
the January term so that if the law
should be declared unconstitutional
the legislature at the coming session
could pass a. new law which would
be able to pass the objections of the
courts.
All of the twenty nine defendants in
the cases were called this morning and
none of them showed any desire to
change their pleas. It is understood
that the cases are to be fought out
by the Jitney Union and the officials
of this organization viii have charge
of the cases in the future.

net used in lifting scrap iron, one with
strength enough to lift an automobile
off the street, he realizes what force
electricity is, and it is impressed upon
his mind so he will not again forget it.
"The Chamber of Commerce is a
clearing house for every interest in the
city. 1t is a capitalization of the best
brains and the best impulses of the
community for the good Of the com
munity.
"Kenosha has men conducting bust
nesses that are powers in the world
commerce. These men could not be
hired for money to devote their time
to any other activity than their own
particular line of work. They will,
however, through the focusing point
furnished by the Chamber of Commerce,
give of their ability and by their bust
ness acument, tact and skill help in the
direction of affairs in way that will
mean actual money increase in city
values, great Improvement in communi-
ty conditions and the advancement of
every legitimate interest in the COM
munity, as well as the stamping out of
Objectionable, and illegitimate pursuits.
Schools+arbage, sewage, track ele-
walton, streets and every other varied
interest in the city at large will en-
gage the attention Of the chamber.
Buying in the home town, loyalty to
interests located here is another thing
that will be taken up and ways and
means worked out to advance it.
"The Chamber of Commerce wants
to get into touch with the rank and file
and be in sympathy with the masses
just as much as with more prominent
individuals. The Chamber of Commerce
is composed of the business and pro-
fessional men of the community and it
can readily be seen that in seeking
fifteen hundred members, it does not
consist merely of it's board of direc-
tors"

SOLDIERS TO GET VOTE.
Kenosha Candidates May Have to Wait
for Days to Know Their Fate
If Result is Close.


Kenosha politicians have another
thing to worry them. Governor Philip
announced on Thursday that he plan
ned to call special session of the legis-
lature for some time next week to
make plans for soldiers now with the
Wisconsin companies on the border be-
ing given the right to vote at the COM
ing general election. Probably twenty
men who claim Kenosha as their vot-
ing home are with the soldiers on the
border and every one of these soldiers
will be entitled to vote just the same
as if they were home in the second or
fourth wards. 1t will be necessary to
have special ballots printed and it is
expected that the law will provide that
these be sent to the militia men on the
border. While Kenosha will have only
a very small number of voters among
the militia on the border they will be
just as much entitled to vote as any
of the others and the county will have
to follow out the red tape Just as in
counties where there are several humid
red serving in militia companies. The
date for tire special session has not
been set.

DIED IN MADISON.
Mrs. Caroline Person of Pleasant
Prairie Dies as Results of
Heat Prostitution.

Mrs. Caroline Person, aged thirty
eight and one of the best known Young
matrons of the town of Pleasat1 Prai-
RE, died at hospital at Madison on
Thursday afternoon following four
weeks , illness. Mrs. Person gave birth
to a son early in September at her
home in Pleasant Prairie. On the fol-
lowing day she was stricken with heat
prostration and this seemed to have
effected her mental faculties. Two
weeks ago she was taken to the Madi-
son hospital for treatment and her rela-
tives had been hopeful of her recov-
cry. She is survived by her husband
and six children. The remains will be
brough ito Kenosha on Thursday and
the funeral will be held probably on
Saturday afternoon with interment in
Green Ridge.

more sorrow and suffering is wrapped
up in this branch of the courts juris-
diction than in any other. The inter
ested parties are ordinarily entitled u
all the comfort and sympathy that can
be accorded to them. 1t is the object
and the desire of the county judge
always to handle these eases as deli
cat Y as possible and with as much
dispatch as possible, under the circum-
stances, with a view of safeguarding
both the interest of the patient and the
interests of Kenosha county"

DRAINING CARLISLE
MINE NEAR DUNCAN

DUNCAN, Ariz., March Rapid
progress is being made toward draining
the Carlisle mine. The workings are
now dry down to the 500-foot level.
Water remains to be pumped from that
level, from winZe and about 100 feet
of drifts. A pump of the 3OOfoot level,
which had been under water 27 years,
was found to be in phenomenally good
condition when it was uncovered. A
very little repairing put it in shape for
operation.
Another gratifying determination is
that the timbers are in good condition
and little repair work is necessary. Ac-
tual mining operations will be under
way much sooner than was expected
when the present owners took over the
Carlisle.
A storage tank with a capacity of two
cars Of oil is to be placed at Duncan
by the company, on a tract which has
been purchased especially for the pur-
pose of storing supplies.

be expected to enter the field soon, as
the boys take keenly to the game.
