DEMOCRATS MEET AT
BURLIGTON TODAY
Leaders of the Party in the First Wis
consin District Discuss the Con-
gressional Situation.

Democratic leaders are in session at
Burlington this afternoon to take
some action in regard to the nomina-
ton of candidate of that party for
the Office of member of Congress. It
was expected that every county in the
district would be represented at the
conference and it is possible that a
candidate will be named
The men who have styled themselves
as "party leaders, have not taken
kindly to the announcement of the
candidacy of Calvin Stewart of this
city and it is not expected that his
candidacy will be endorsed. The mem
bers Of the conference may insist on
naming some other candidate. Mr..
Stewart announced his candidacy with
out any consultation with these men
and some of them appear to be just a
little peeved at his action. The Keno
sha candidate has suggested that he
will be ready to make the run re-
gardless of the action of the conference
in regard to his candidacy.

Washington, June 12-An Ameri-
can coast patrol vessel has had one
battle from a German U-boat raid
err. From an unquestionable source
today came this fact, together with
the fact that the navy has had
mass of reports from patrol com
manders. None of these has been
made public. Secretary Daniels
has taken the position that only
absolutely authenticated cases OF
sinking or capture will be announc-
ed But the United Press is in
position to announce that one of
the many reports indicates beyond
doubt that patrol vessel fred
on submarine and dropped depth
bombs about her. The effect can
only be conjectured A second
case, not quite so clear cut, yet
believed by some officials to be
authentic, is also on record.
Neither of the above mentioned
incidents includes the case in which
a United States destroyer inter
rupted a U-boat in its attempt to
sink the Radioleine. Both the
cases cited occurred since then but
have been kept secret up to today.

us back upon the Aronde river.
Despite the violence of the shock
and the heaviest enemy losses,
they failed to succe ed.
On the right the Germans, despite
repeated efforts, did not succeed in
debouehing from the south bank
of the Matz, We holding them at
Chevin-court and Maretz-sur-Ma
eta. According to new indications,
yesterdays counter attack pre-
vented a powerful German attack,
under preparation on the same
front. Prisoners taken by a single
French division belonged to four
German divisions. South of the
Aisne, the Germans attacked this
morning between that river and
Villers-Cotterets forest. The most
violent combats are going on along

Stockholm, June 12-The action
of the bolsheviki in putting Mos

due to the uncovering of a plot
which was brewing when I left
Russia, which aimed at the over
throw of the bolsheviki by stimuli
taneous uprisings in Moscow and
Petrograd. Prince Kropotkin, K.
Savinkoff and a member of cadet

RATES JUMP CENT A NILE
Chicago, Milwaukee and North ShorS
Gets Lots of New Business as No
Change Of Rates Has Been Mads aa1
That Line-None for Some Tina.

People who travel out of Kenoshs
over the Northwestern road these days
have reason to know that General Sher-
man knew what he was talking about
when he made his lannon's declaration
in regard to inst what war was
The new passenger traffic rates
creed by the United States Cover 4t
are now in full force and effect ~ icy
became effective ON last Sun6t ight
at midnight and all tickets being
sold under the new rates q rates
demand a payment of cents a
mile for each mile of ON of a
mile travelled and Ken Tanspor-
tation bin is going to Do very largely
order
In addition to this increased fare
the tax on railway tickets is stin N
force. There Is an added burden on
travel as an addition of 1923 percent
is made to all Pullman charges and an
addition of s 1-3 percent is made 10
all tourist ear charges.
Just bringing the incres&s bore the
rate from Kenosha to Milwaukee over
the Northwestern is now $l-05 while
before the new rate went into effect it
was 81 cents. No discount is given on
round trip tickets. The rate to Chi
cage which was formerly dollar and
quarter has jumped up to $1.68 and
the rate to Racine has been changed
from twenty-five cents to thirty three
cents.
The commuter does not escape pay
ing the added tax for railway trans
pcrtation and the ten ride tickets which
formerly sold at 1920 have been ad-
vanced to 5000 and all other com
mutation tickets issued by the com.
pany have been advanced ten percent.
The biggest feature of the changed
rates In Kenosha is the large increase
Of business done by the Chicago, Mil
waukee and North Shore Electric road
as the fares on this road are not eff
fected by the Federal order.
! It is probable that within a short
time the company win have an order
from the Railroad Commission of Wis
| eonsin and similar body in Illinois
granting it the right, TO increase its
fares to three cents mile but up TO
the present time this order has not been
issued.
The rates Of fare to Milwaukee over
the North Shore line remain at SO cents
for the trip and to Evanston the com
pany is still selling tickets at eighty
one cents making the fare into Chicago
over this route ninety one cents. The
rate to Racine over the North Shore
line is twenty cents.
The new freight rates for steam
roads are scheduled to go into effect on
June 25th but as yet the traffic sheets
covering these rates have not been re-
ceived at the Offices of the Northwest
ern company here. These traffic rates
viii provide for very large increase
in freight rates which have been charg.
ed in the past.
