Local Railway Agent Gets
New Orders Today PrOvid-
ing For Conservation of
the Coal Shipments.
mo CONFISCATION OF COAL
Agent Directed To Tell People That
Coal Is Not Held For Railways But To
Secure Distribution Of It To the
Most Necessary Users.

With the announcement of posi-
bility of the resumption of the mines
not later than Thursday, hope is held
up by railway men of an improvement
of the coal situation, but it is admitted
that the railways viii not take any
chances on turning over coal in Keno
sha and other cities until after the
danger of tieup of the mines is defn-
itely past. The railway administration
has today sent out statement in re-
gard to the confscation of coal, copy
of which was received this morning by
W. J. Kiltz, agent for the administra-
tion in Kenosha.
Coal is Not Confscated.
The statement declares that no coal
has been confscated for railway use
but that coal has been held in order to
insure its proper delivery to the most
necessary uses of the product. The
statement follows:
cit is highly important that no mis-
understandings with regard to the
handling of the coal situation by the
railroads in the present emergency be
permitted to grow up or exist.
"The true facts of the situation are
that the railroads have not confscated
coal in transit, but acting under the
instructions of the fuel administration,
did just prior to the date of the strike,
hold on their rails all coal then in
transit, which coal is being delivered
where necessary to avoid suffering.
81 believe that the railroads are
rendering real public service in this
situation and it would be most unfor-
tunate indeed, if through a misunder-
standing on the part of the public, criti-
cism of the railroad administration
should be the result.
II think it essential that federal
managers and everyone connected with
the railroads, who comes in contact
with the public should be fully pre-
pared to explain the situation as to the
necessity for the action taken and why
the work of distributing the coal has
been assigned to the railroads.

Father With the Man.

Schulman s father was with him and
accompanied him to the hospital after
his terrible injury. 80 why did you
do it, Max" the father moaned to the
boy as he lay in the ambulance on
the way to the hospital. "There must
have been some reason for it ALL"
The man and his father had left Mari
nette on Wednesday evening to go to
Chicago and when the train pulled into
Kenosha the younger man left the
coach and came out on the platform
He walked up and down the platform
until the train started to move and
then, according to witnesses, he threw
himself between the cars. Dellos Kahl
Of Milwaukee, an eye witness Of the
injury of the man, saw him crawl be-
tween the cars and he told the of
fcers that Schoen had said that he
wanted to kill himself

Two More Express Trains
On Northwestern Driven
From Schedule By
Miners Strike.
MORE MAY FOLLOW SOON

More trains on the North-W este
road between Chicago and Milwaukee
fell before the coal mime strikers this
morning when orders were received
disseminating the '|Second 1872 which
arrives in Kenosha at 3:15 A. M.
and the "Second FOG" which was
accustomed to pull up at the local sta
| ton at 1850 a. m.
Both of these trains are express trains
used to help out the regular trains in
bringing the newspapers and express
packages to the north shore towns in
the early morning and at noon. The
work that has been done by them
| will now be laid entirely on two other
trains which arrive in Kenosha at
about the same hours daily.
Not to Effect Service.
II do not believe that this action
will seriously affect the express service
of the city, declared one of the Of
ficials of the company this morning.
"These trains were both extra trains to
help out with the big business and the
other trains must carry this bust
ness. Really the express will arrive
in Ksnosha just little earlier on
account Of the change"
No other trains were ordered off the
schedule this morning, but it is regard
led as certain that passenger service
will be further eliminated as result
Of the demands for conservation of
coal. No, further coal has been con-
fscated in the Kenosha yards on ac-
count of the fact that none has arrived.
It was said that the railway coal condi-
tions in Kenosha today were flair !"
Chafe at Changed Schedules.
Some people who were denied the
privilege of taking trains they had ex-
pected to run, from Kenosha to Chicago
and Milwaukee on Wednesday, chafed
at the delay in traffic, but others took
the matter philosophically. It meant
a long wait for few passengers, but
| it is believed that the eliminations Of
the schedule have been pretty well not

Tried to Borrow a Revolver.

In connection with the case the po-
lice were told a story by Clifford Mat
thew, former soldier, who resides at
Madison and who was ON the same train
with Schulman. Matthews declared that
some time before the train reached Ke-
nosha, the man had come to him and
had asked to borrow his revolver. He
said that the man appeared to be labor
ing under great mental strain and that
he had declined to let him take the re-
volver 1t was shortly after this con
versation that the boy left the train
as it stopped at Kenosha. Matthews
after making his statement to the po-
lice went on to Chicago.
The father of the boy was evidently
greatly distressed. He went to the
hospital and urged the surgeons to do
everything possible to save the life of
the young man, but he did not offer to
give to the police any solution as to the
cause of the strange actions of the
young man. It ssaid that the Schul-
man family is well known at Marinette.

TRUTH OF CLOCKS SOUNDS
Real Reasons Why Large TImepieee 10
Always Considered to BE Saying
Tick, Took"

Why do we always regard q clock
as saying tick, tock," and not stick,
tick" like watch' Is there really
any distinction between the alternate
sounds. or is II matter of psychol-
ogy? Attention to the problem has
been given by an investigator, whose
conclusions are most interesting.
The general opinion, according to
him, has always been that II was mere
ly matter of chance whether the
tick" accompanied the left and the
took" the right beat Of the pendu.
lum or vice versa. The first impor-
tant discovery this authority made was
that the tick" always marks the mo-
ment when the pendulum reaches the
extreme point Of defamation from the
perpendicular on Its beat to the right,
while the reaching Of its swing limit
to the left is marked by the stock" in
pendulums Of all lengths. He found
that owing to the fact that the anchor
Of the escapement mechanism Is above
the rotating escapement wheel and In
the same plane with IL, the conditions
under which its arms strike the cOgs
OF the wheel are not the same for
both arms.
One Of the arms OF the anchor
strikes a cog Of the wheel moving up
ward, In direction opposed to that
Of the anchor, while the other arm
strikes against the cog while II Is
moving downward, nearly in the same
direction as the anchor. The result
Of the unequal conditions under which
the two arms Of the anchor engage
the cogs of. the escapement wheel is
naturally an acoustic difference In the
sounds produced by the contact Of the
parts.
