JITNEYS CUT
CAR EARNINGS
Manager of Wis. Gas and
Electric Says Earnings
Fall Off $3.50 a Day.
WORK PEAK HOURS

Kenosha's chance of securing ex-
tensions of the street railway system
is in jeapordy on account of the in
roads on the earnings of the Wisconsin
Gas and Electric company made by the
jitney busses, Mayor John G. Joachim
was told by Manager Ora Koenes this
morning. The manager for the COM
pany in 'Kenosha, declared that the
operation of a dozen jitneys in the city
had brought a reduction in the re-
ceipts of the company to the amount
of $3.50 a day and that the managers
of the company would not look favor
ably on plans to extend lines in
neys could be curbed by the city so
that the company would not be forced
to meet unfair competition.
Just Work at Peak Hours.
"The competition is a most unfair
one," declared Manager Koenes "The
iitneys operate right along our lines
and they work only at the peak hours
of the day, taking off the cream of the
business and then go back to their
garages and wait for other busy hours.
They do not offer any continuous serv-
ice on streets on which they operate"
Some of the jitney men asserted that
this statement was false and declared
that many of the cars were being oper-
ated throughout the entire day and late
into the night. Not one of them has
accepted the suggestion of the mayor
to get away from the street railway
tracks and operate on streets not
touched by the street railway company.
Recommends Extensions.
II am not able to speak for the COM
pany," said Manager Koenes, "but
have recommended that we build up
the Kenosha street railway system SO
that it will properly serve the city
and if the securities of the company
can be sold am very hopeful that the
.higher-ups' will carry out the, plan.
The jitney competition is serious
matter with the Kenosha system and
it must be done away with if the COM
pany is to make anything like earn
ings. The earnings of the company
have been hit by bad times and by To-
cal conditions, but we were going
along pretty well until two weeks ago
when we were struck with this cpl
demic of jitneys."
Officials of the city today indicated
that they had not changed their
minds in regard to the operation of
the iitneys and they said that some
action would be taken to force the
jitneys to take other routes.
Jitney Men Full of Fight.
AS has been the case in ither con-
tests with the jitney men they are full
of fight and it is understood that al
ready plans have been made to hire
attorneys and start court actions if
necessary to force the city to grant
licenses to these people. If the court
actions are started it is possible that
the council will seek further amend
ment Of the jitney regulation ordi-
nance in order to curb the operations
Of these carriers.

KENOSHA FAILS
IN SEAL SALE
City in Danger of Losing
Place as Leader in Fight
Against White Plague.
SHOW LOCAL RESULTS

Kenosha is falling down on the sale
Of the Red Gross Christmas seals and
unless some heroic measures are taken
the city will lose its place in the state
as leader in the support Of the battle
against the white plague" Up to
today less than $4,000 seals have been
sold and this is only one-fourth Of
the quota set for Kenosha. The fall
ing down in the sale of the seals
threatens to cut deeply into the sup
port for the local work of the anti
tuberculosis association in Kenoshs.
The local committee receives one-half
of the money raised from the sale of
the seals and the money is going to be
needed to carry out plans already in
augurated.
Local Work Notable.
The association has done a notable
urgent work of this organization that
Willowbrook sanatorium was opened
for the treatment Of local people i'll
with tuberculosis. The local associa-
ton blazed the path for the opening
Of the public clinic which is now
treating more than a hundred people
a month, free of charge. This clinic
has the complete support of the med
ical profession in Kenosha. It was
financed by money secured through the
sale of the Red Cross seals and the
operation of it was then turned over
to the Kenosha Service League.
The local association with the aid
Of the state association put on the
general clinic held at the city hall last
summer. The cost Of this clinic was
in excess of $500.
Foes Seek to Stop Work.
Jealous foes of the Wisconsin asso-
citation are flooding the state with let
tiers and pamphlets seeking to harm
the sale of the seals and in some CT
ties, including Kenosha, this propa-
ganda has been hurtful. Kenosha peo-
pie who believe that this great work
should go on are urged to buy the
Red Cross seals at once and see that
the full quota offered for Kenosha is
disposed of. The sale of the seals
will close on the first Of January.

BULLETIN.

MSAHduheS-11yTnan IL. OOruOn
and Eli Jacobson of KenOsha, were
arraigned before Judge Page in the
district court this morning charg-
ed as accessories after the fact to
the crime of burglary. They de-
clined TO waive examination and
demanded a preliminary hearing.
Judge Page adjourned the hearing
until January 18th, holding both of
the defendants in bonds of $4,000
for the adjourned date. The bail
was furnished and Gordon and
Jacobson, later left for Konosha.
There were no new developments
in the case at the hearing in the
court this morning.
Kenosha kept in the limelight in the
investigation of the theft of $4,000
worth Of liquor from the warehouse
of the Badger Non-Beverage company
in Milwaukee when Hyman r. Gordon
and Eli jacobson, the Kenoshans who
on Tuesday were quizzed by detectives
in connection with the big booze j az
berry, were arraigned this MORRIS
the circuit court at Milwaukee on the
charge of being accessories after the
fact in the affair. The two Kenoshans
appeared on Tuesday afternoon before
the prosecuting attorney of Milwau-
kee county and on the charge men
toned above were released on $4,000
bonds each.
Attorney Walter M Burke of Keno
sha, appeared in Milwaukee for the
Kenosha men on Tuesday and will
continue to handle their case in the
courts. Other attorneys will assist
him in the defense offered to the
courts.
Talk of Grand Jury.
The incident has revived the discus
sion of the call for grand jury in
vestigation in Kenosha county of vari-
Gus alleged illicit liquor dealers in the
county in an attempt to crush the
bootlegging business, which appears to
be thriving in Kenosha county. These
rumors regarding grand jury had no
official weight, however, as no state
ment whatever regarding the affair was
made by Judge E. B. Belden.
Kenosha is also reputed to be the
center of the booze ring which is al
legged to have shipped hundreds of bar
rels of Canadian whiskey into Wiscon-
sin and any grand jury investigation
which might be called would probably
also look into the rumors regarding the
rum fishing boat that is alleged to
have been landed in Kenosha.
Detectives Led to Kenosha.
Details regarding the questioning Of
Gordon and jacobson by Milwaukee
detectives leaked out of the Milwaukee
Office on Tuesday. 1t appears that
Charles Schenkus, a man who was ar
rested in Milwaukee on Saturday in
connection with the robbery, in be-
ing quizzed admitted that he knew
the hiding place of the stolen liquor.
He finally agreed to lead Milwaukee
officials to the cache where the whis-
key had been taken and accompanied
by Detectives O'Gorman and Biersach
came to Kenosha Monday night. Furth-
er information he gave led to the ap-
prehension of Gordon and Jacobson.
