FARMERS REFUSE
TO SHIP MILK
Shipment of Milk from Kenosha
County Points to Chicago
Practically Cut OFF.

Shipments Of milk from Kenosha
county points to Chicago were prac-
tically cut off today and pigs through
out Kenosha county were eating the
milk which had formerly been shipped
into Chicago to feed Chicago babies.
1t is admitted that it is great for the
pigs but that it is pretty hard on the
babies. Kenosha county farmers seem
to be united in their decision not to
ship milk into Chicago at the prices
which have been set by the Chicago
Milk Commission and it is not expect
cd that there will be any resumption
of shipments from Kenosha county
points until such time as the price
for milk is placed somewhere nearer
what the farmers are demanding. The
possibility of new order fixing prices
was very strong today and it is ex-
pected that the order will be issued
tomorrow. This order is expected to
increase the compensation of the pro-
ducers, but it is said that it will be a
compromise price rather than the price
which the producers have demanded.

aEd broke his leg and we want an adj
iournment until he is able to be in

as he told the court that the princi-
pal witness for the city, Mrs. M. Pru-
lone, 42S Charles street, had been
Fgassed y while at work in the kitchen
Of her home on Monday evening 1t
Was stated that the woman had been
unconscious for some time and that her
condition today was such as to make it
impossible for her to appear in court.
With both sides pretty well tied up
md no chance of the defendant or the
prosecuting witness getting to court,
he judge ordered an adjournment.

ASK SPECIAL Administrator
Estate of Former Kenoshan Is Divided
Among Relatives It Is Made Up Of
Proceeds of Fortunate Investment
Ia Stock of Dairy Company.

One of the most unusual estates ever
filed for probate in the County court
consists of an unendorsed check for
the sum Of $25,964.00. It is the es-
tate of the late Hiram G. Tourtelotte,
late of the city of Kenosha and the
will disposing of it was filed for pro-
bate in the court on Monday afternoon.
Special administration has been asked
in order to make it possible for some
one to endorse the check and collect
the money.
Mr.. Tourtelotte was for many years
prominent among the farmers of the
town of Bristol but years ago he went
to Milwaukee and became one Of the
founders Of the Gridley Dairy Company
one of the largest distributors of milk
and dairy products in this section Of
the country. He invested $4,000 in the
company and out of this two thousand
dollars he reaped a Large fortune and
left at his death the estate in excess of
twenty FIVE thousand dollars. Two
weeks before death came, Mr.. Tourte-
lotte arranged for the sale of his in
terest in the Gridley Dairy Company.
The check for the amount Of the sale
reached Kenosha after the old man
was on his death bed and he was never
able to endorse it. 1t was found among
his private papers after his death and
turned over to the Northwestern Loan
and Trust Company which is named as
executor of his will.
Mr.. Tourtelotte was the last surviv-
ing member of his family as his wife
died less than q year ago. His estate
is left to close personal friends and
relatives and Mrs. Emmett r. Shields
of Bristol and Frank Tourtelotte of the
same town will receive the bulk Of
the estate.
Remembranees of many kindnesses to
him caused Mr.. Tourtelotte to make a
large number of small gifts to close
friends and relatives. The will pro-
vides that legacies of one hundred dol
lars each be paid John Karnes, Will
liam Kingman, Mary Gibson, Walter G..
Tourtelotte, Charles B. Tourtelotte;
legaeies of two hundred dollars each
to William K. Packman, William K.
HoIlenbeck and William Austin and
one Of five hundred dollars to William
G. CFosbey.

FEW GERMAN ALIENS
SEEK REGISTRATION
With Hundred and Fifty Registered on
Monday Clerks Have Little to
Do at Council Chamber Today.


German aliens in Kenosha are not
rushing to be registered today and up
to ten o'clock this morning but four
had presented themselves at the coun-
ell chamber to answer the questions in
regard to their lives and make their
finger prints on the blanks supplied by
the government. Nine clerks were in
waiting to take care of the rush =
but they had little to do.
A hundred and fifty of the German
aliens from Kenosha and the rural
routes leading out of the city were
registered on Monday and the day
proved a busy one for the clerks
in charge.
Information furnished to the police
department by the aliens must be held
as confidential and no one except the
clerk taking the answers and the de-
partment of justice officials viii be
permitted to examine the blanks.
The police officers expected at least
hundred seekers of permits today
and the small fcrowd' which appear
ed was distinct disappointment. 1t
is thought that there are some four
hundred of the German enemies in
Kenosha, but the police have no power
to enforce registration of these people.
They must volunteer:

Need ENGINES FOR FREIGHT
Newspaper Distributors Make Great
Cry When Afternoon Newspaper
Train Is Cancelled and North and
South Papers Will Arrive Later.

Further curtailments of passenger
train service with view Of releasing
engines and other rolling stock for
freight movements, were announced as
effective today at the Offices of the
North Western Railway Company in
Kenosha and three trains which have
been in regular operation north and
south of Kenosha for considerable
time were taken off. The trains taken
off include the north-bound trains
leaving Kenosha at 1921 p. M, 5:20
p. m. and 9:22 p. m, and the south
bound trains leaving Kenosha at 1858
q. m, 1858 p. m, and 1852 p. m. All
of these trains have been run daily
except Sunday. No time limit is set
for the elimination of these trains
and it is declared that they may be
taken off indefinitely.
Considerable complaint is made
against the taking off of the train
which has reached Kenosha at 1921 in
the afternoon. This train was known
as the afternoon newspaper train and
the train which now brings the papers
into Kenosha is not scheduled to ar
rive until 4:10, With this train late
many days in the week the delivery
of papers in Kenosha is going to be
made much later than in former times.
Newspaper distributors are complain
ing bitterly on account of this cut
in the service.
The order eliminating these six
trains from the Kenosha schedule
makes no provision for the stopping
of what have been known as the
"through trains and Kenosha will
continue to be flag station for the
"North Coast" and the North
Shore" limited trains unless the recent
action of the council can force the
stopping of these trains.
Little could be said in regard to the
order at the local station more than
that it was a part Of the conservation
movement connected with the govern
ment operation of the railways.

They may be German aliens and alien
enemies, but most of the fellows who
came to the City Hall to register APP
peared to be wiling to support the
country. That is lot more than some
of the native born are willing to do.
The only trouble with the registration
is that we should register Germans in
heart as well as those who were born
