ed that these were not loaded with
perishables. 1t was declared at Trues-
dell that cars were being moved with
just as much dispatch as was possible.
Local railway men at Truesdell and
in Kenosha secuted the idea that there
was any deliberate tie up of shipments
of any kind and it was declared that
all cars were moving with just as much
rapidity as was possible under present
business conditions.
Tt is exceedingly difficult to get any
facts in regard to the alleged tie up
of the traffic ON account of the fact
that local men are communicative
and the only information given out is
that business is being operated under
normal conditions. That no formal or
ders for the holding of cars of wheat or
perishable goods have been issued seem
to be certain from the local reports.
1t. was declared in dispatches from
Chicago that federal agents were COM
ing to Kenosha to investigate. A
deputy United States marshall was in
Kesosha on Tuesday afternoon and
this may explain his presence here.

sweet charity wore similar fur when
she got on the train at Somers. The
sheriff and the district attorney were
out at Corliss until midnight trying to
get some facts in regard to where the
woman had gone, but they returned
empty handed. cit is just possible

MoTHERLY CARE LACKING.
Judge Taylor Sends Little Stella and
Josephine Stacewicz to the State
School at Chippewa Falls.

Heart strings of people who were in
the County Court on Tuesday after
noon, were touched by the recital of
the wrong against childhood in the
case Of Stella and Josephine Stacewicz,
aged seven and eight years, who were
committed to the state home at Chip
pewa Falls. The evidence showed that
motherly care had been lacking in the
case, and that the children had lived
under conditions of squalor which
should not be permitted in a civilized
country The mother admitted that
the husband had made adequate provi-
sion for the children, but that they
had lived in two basement rooms and
that she had not given them the care
they needed. The evidence showed
that the children had been given beer,
that at times they had been fed corn
meal and chicken feed The two little
girls had a transformation when they
were taken in charge by DR.. Helen
Harbert and cleaned up and they will
go to Chippewa Falls this evening
The mother made no effort to deny the
facts as presented to the court.

RANNEY WANTS CLEAN BILL
Kenosha County Shipping Points Fail to
Bear Out Report That Food Had Been
Shipped Here to Avoid Danger of
Federal Inspection in Chicago.

Railway officials in Kenosha deny
emphatically the report that vast
shipments of foodstuffs and wheat
have been stored in railway yards about
Kenosha Local officials of the company
declare that while there may be slight
congestions in handling cars that there
has been no deliberate attempt at
storage. The report which was sent
out from Chicago on Tuesday after
noon was that a hundred and fifty cars
loaded with wheat had been sent up
into wards just north of the Wisconsin
state line to be held until the price Of
wheat touched the two dollar mark
The yards at Balm and Ranney, the
two principal switching plants on the
North Western and the Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul lines in Kenosha
county, are both badly congested with
cars, but it is declared by officials that
this condition has existed for some time
and that they have paid no particular
attention to the fact at this time. It
is admitted that there may be ship
ments of wheat tied up at both places,
but local officials assert that they have
no way to tell the contents Of some
of the cars which have been brought
III from other divisions and that
these cars are being handled just
as rapidly as possible.
The report il regard to the pifing up
at Ranney declared that hundred car
loads Of perishable vegetables and
products had been held at Ranney to
get away from the federal investiga-
tion in Chicago. An Investigation at

true. There was a considerable mum

A west side saloon in Kenosha proved
something of Road to Jerico for
Peter Doulecu, a Superior, Wisconsin,
Austrian on Tuesday night and late in
the evening he reported to the police
that he had been robbed of savings
bank books with deposits of eight hund-
red and fifty dollars in real cash at the
saloon operated by Stanley Bitaustis
at the corner of Jenne and West Main
street. The robbery is alleged to have
occurred early in the evening and the
police are searching for Julian
Gwiszdwski, a Kenosha man, who is
alleged to have shown an unusual in
terest in the visitor from Superior and
who is missing. The missing man
formerly lived on Milwaukee avenue
and it is declared that he was arrested
at Chicago Heights at one time, charg-
ed with similar offense.
Peter Doulecu reached Kenosha on
Tuesday morning. He came here seek
ing work and he brought with him his
money and his bank book. Both were
in the pocket of his outside coat and
shortly after he reached Kenosha he
met Gwiszdwsl1i. He offered to take
him over to the home of a friend who
he said lived on Garden street, but the
route TO the home of the friend was a
circuitous one and Doulecu told the
police. that the pair stopped at many
saloons and that he was possibly just
little under the influence of the
liquor. When they reached the West
Main street saloon Doulecu hung up
his coat and vest and went into the
toilet. He returned to the saloon to
find that his pocket book and his
bank book had been taken from his
pocket and that his new friend of the
day was missing.
Doulecu could not give the police g
great deal of information. He declar.
ed that he knew that his savings had
been deposited in a bank at superior
but that he did not know the name OF
the bank. Up there he had done bust
ness through saloonkeeper and while
he had gone to the bank with the
saloonkeeper to make deposits he never
knew the name Of it. He wanted the
police to stop any possible negotiation
of the savings account and the police
at once took the matter up with the
police at Superior and it is probable
that any effort to get money on say.
ings account there today is accom-
panied with considerable difficulty.
Dou1ecu had little change in
one of his pockets and he told the
police that he did not need aid to get
a night lodging. It is thought that
the man who is charged with the crime
ran out of the saloon just about in
time to catch train for Chicago. The
Chicago detective bureau has been
asked to look for him and to make an
effort to recover the money.

The step of one of the cars struck
him in the head fracturing his skull
and he died shortly after. Mr.. Pierce
was on his way to the station to watch
the train and he had thought that he
had ample time to cross the bridge.
The train was, however, coming at a
high rate of speed and when he saw
that he had no chance to get off the
bridge he lay down on the side of the
bridge along the rail. He had expected
that the train would pass over his body
in safety. One of the steps hung be-
low the rest of the train and it struck
him in the head throwing his body
off the bridge. AS soon as possible the
train was stopped and workmen picked
up the bruised and mangled body and
carried it back to the tracks. He was
not conscious again bfore death came

Chief Of Police Owen O'Hare has
iecided to stand on the saloon lid and
to see that regulations for saloons In
Kenosha are enforced to the letter in
stead of to the "near' letter as has
been the rule in Kenosha for The past
four or five years and when the police
officers left for gtheir regular beats on
Tuesday night they carried a formal
notice to every keeper of saloon in
the city which told them that in the
future IL o'clock meant II O. clock and
not fifteen minutes after eleven and
that every every saloon in Kenosha
would be expected to close at eleven
prompt. All minutes or hours of grace
have been withdrawn by the police de-
partment and saloons are to be closed
and closed tight at the hour demanded
by the regulations.
Police officers were not ordered to
make arrests but they were ordered to
watch violators Of the rule and get the
evidence against them showing care
fully the number of minutes the places
were kept open after eleven 0 o'clock.
One report was made this morning of
violation of the regulations and it viii
be promptly transmitted to the license
committee to be used in an appeal for
revocation Of licenses.
The order to the police is the most
drastic ever given to officers on the
beat In addition to directing the off,
GERS to get evidence against keeping
open after eleven the order also directs
that they must enforce to the letter
every rule in regard to the saloon.
Saloon men were in a quandary hen
they got the new order and their inter
est was sufficient to have them close up
the doors on the tap Of eleven. There
was lot of fretting and tuning among
the night owls who had been accus-
toned to linger about the mahogany
for half hour or so after the time
really set for closing, but there was no
consideration shown for these fellows
in most of the places.
Chief of Police O'Hare plans to dem.
onstrate to the council that if the sa-
loon order is to be enforced with the
eleven O clock provision that it can be
done without the extra services of a
fly cop" The license committee has
no intention of putting on its detective
at this time. In fact, it may be some
time before the special man is put on
to gather evidence against the viola.
ton of saloon regulations.
A lot of saloon men are accreditino
the new movement to the fact that a
new effort is being made to get a
license for the saloon at the corner of
Church and Park streets. This move.
ment is very unpopular among saloon
men. They assert that the men engin.
eering the deal should have been willing
to let well enough alone and they as.
sert that there are saloons enough in
the city now without questionable
legal Interpretation which would per.
nit the licensing of the new place.
One saloon man declared this morn.

in the city was sought, that they would
