believed to have started from cigaret
butt tossed into trash pile Sunday aft
ernoon, destroyed the north side plant of
the Kokomo Steel and Wire Company and
the Kokomo Lumber Company, with an
estimated loss of 100000.
The fire started in the lumber com

of flames before the fire department ar
rived.
The firemen were handicapped in fight
ing the fire by poor water pressure.
The fire soon spread to the brick
structure which housed the Kokomo Steel
Wire Company and this building, too,
was soon a mass of flames.
The heaviest loss was suffered by the
steel plant, as It's entire fence factory was
destroyed.
Tanks of oil stored in the vicinity OF
the two plants made the fighting eX-
tremely hazardous.

SENDS PETITION
TO COMMISSION

City Attorney John C. Slater this af-
ternoon forwarded to Madison the
formal petition of the Kenosha NUM-
cipal Water company to the railroad
commission of Wisconsin, asking the
commission to give sanction to the in
crease of water rates in Kenosha.
The proposed increase in the rates
suggests an increase of $4,000 a year
in the operating revenue of the muni-
cipal company and it is declared that
this increase is necessary for the COM
pany to properly meet the demand for
extensions and the proper upkeep of
the plant. Agents of the commission
who have visited Kenosha have indi-
Gated that the commission would grant
a slight increase in the rates charged
for water here but that the increase
granted would not be one affecting all
customers of the company.
Suggests Scale of Increases.
With the petition, the water COM
pany has filed with the state commits
sion a table to show the proposed in
creases in rates which the members of
the commission believe will furnish
money enough to meet the needs of
the company.
"No change is made in the minimum
rate" said Judge Slater in discussing
the petition. at is the plan Of the
company to increase the returns from
the sale of water somewhere in the
neighborhood of $4,000 and to do this,
some of the rates have been increased
in the neighborhood of 2O9o. 1t is the
plan of the water board to have rate
which will be fair to every class of
customers of the company"

ALEC TO LEAD
CAVALRY TROOP
Kenosha Troopers Elect
]. d. Alexander to Cap
tain Their Outfit.
OFFICERS ARE CHOSEN

John D. Alexander, the Kenosha who
was one of the officers to lead the boys
of Battery E away to war, was unani-
mously chosen on Monday evening to
captain the Kenosha Cavalry troop of
the Wisconsin National Guard at the
meeting of the organization held in
the offices of the Kenosha County Red
Cross Association. George A. Flad,
formerly a sergeant in the regular
army, was elected as first lieutenant
of the outfit and Claus Anderson, a
sergeant in Battery E, was chosen as
the second lieutenant. The report OF
the elections was forwarded this morn
ing to Adjutant General Holway at
Madison for confirmation and the COM
missions are expected to reach Kenosha
before April LIST, the date set for the
federal inspection of the troop.
All Saw Real Service.
The election assures the Kenosha
troop of the leadership of men who
have been trained in service in the
United States army. Captain Alex
ander was second lieutenant of Battery
E when the outfit left Kenosha. He
was rapidly advanced to a silver bar
in the Field Artillery and lead an out
fit in the 3O9th Field Artillery over
seas. Sergt. Flad is a regular army
man. He served with the regular army
against the Apache Indians in the west
and. was in the first trouble with
Mexico. Sergt. Anderson was one of
the best "non-coms" of Battery E and
when the war closed had been recon-
mended for training at the Officers
Training School for the Field Artil-
lery at Samur in France. He was in
charge of the horse drawn batteries
at this school.
Much Enthusiasm Shown.
More than ninety per cent Of the
members of the troop were present at
the meeting last night. Final reports
from the examining physician showed
that the troop had lost only three men
by physical defects and two recruits
were added last evening, so that the
outfit is practically back over the top.
The members are preparing for a great
jubilee when they are mustered in fol-
lowing the federal inspection on the
evening of April the 1st.
