The Wisconsin Gas and Electric
company through its railway utility
is making unusual contribution to the
Strengthening out of the Main street
and the building of the new bridge as
the receipts of the company since the
closing of the Main street bridge have
shown falling off to the average of
one hundred dollars a day and the
amount of the deficit is rapidly in
creasing. The statement of the losses
of the company is based on one of the
officials directly connected with the
operation of the lines and it is declar-
ed that some plan must be made for ex-
tension of the service to the west and
the southwest of the city if this loss
is to be made up by increased traffic.
1t was announced that plans for ex-
tensions or rather improvements of the
service on the west and south and
southwest sides Of the city have re-
ceived the approval of the higher
ups" in Milwaukee and that work on
these changes was now being done.
The first Of the changes will be the
installation Of the switch on Sheridan
road between Prairie avenue and
Elizabeth street. The special work for
this has been completed and it Is to
be installed at once.

COMMONER PUTS
WILSON OUT
Declares That President Can Not Be
Considered as Third Term
Leader of Democracy.
(By Associated Press.)

Lincoln, Neb. = Discussing possible
Democratic candidates for the presi-
dency, William Jennings Bryan in an
article in his newspaper, "The Com
moner," published here, declares that
former secretary of the treasury Will
liam G. McAdoo is handicapped as a
candidate "by his close relationship
with the president" while President
Wilson himself, he says, "need not be
considered Asserting that Mr.. Nc
Adoo is also handicapped by "his
silence on the peace treaty" Mr.. Bryan
declares Mr.. McAdoo is unable to call
to his support "those to whom the
presidents candidacy appealed with
special force" and that he would "fur-
nish an easy mark for all Of the presi-
dents enemies" The article says,
however, that Mr.. McAdoo has consid-
cradle strength among wage earners.
Referring to President Wilson, Bryan
says that "while vague hints and sug-
gestions have been thrown out occa-
sionally, no one claiming to speak for
the president or near enough to him
to be assumed to express his wishes,
has announced his candidacy" Her
bert Hoover is eliminated from the list
Of candidates whom Mr.. Bryan consid-
ers available" while Senator Owen of
Oklahoma and Secretary Of Agricul-
ture Meredith are described as being
s'among the few available men thus far
mentioned" To be available this year.
Mr.. Bryan asserts, candidate must
be known to be for woman suffrage,
for prohibition, and against Wall

William Jennings Bryan declared that
no candidate should be nominated by

in Recent Weeks.
CAN'T BUILD TEMPORARY LINES
Statement Is Made that Cost of Extra Work for Rail-
way Crossings Would Make Proposed Tenn
porary Lines Impossible for Co,

leading employees of the company on
Monday night. "Since the bridge was
closed and we have been forced to
transfer passengers the receipts have
showed falling off in excess of one

The suggestion was made that it
might take four hundred days to COM

figure our contribution at lot less
than hundred dollars a day"
Can't See Temporary Lines.
The company can not see how any Of
the plans suggested for temporary
lines to keep the street cars moving
during the building Of the bridge AMI
be worked out. They insist shat the
cost of building the temporary line
along any Of the routes proposed
would mean such big expenditure
that the company would better pocket
its losses and say nothing.

lines would have to cross q net work
Of switch tracks and the special wofk
necessary for such line would cost so
much money that to build it would be
prohibitive. At any rate it might take
months to get this special work The
very same thing can be said IL. regard
to the proposed extension west on
Grand avenue at North Main street.
There are lot of tracks to cross and
no sane person would take the chance
Of running a street car over the Grand
avenue bridge. I would much rather
run over the Main street bridge and
believe it would be lot safer"
Cars Go Over The Bridge
1t was admitted by the officials Of
the company that cars had been oper-
ated over the bridge since it was closed
and that no trouble had been exper-
fenced. eve would not attempt against
the orders of the city engineer to run
any cars over the bridge and we would
not attempt to run a car over the

not object so much, but any way it is
fixed we are certain to lose traffic
and lots of traffic If the people

way most Of them decide that they will
walk all the way"
Interested In West Side.
"The company is naturally more IN
terested on the. west side of the city"
he continued. "If there is any money
to be spent it will be spent in per-
manent improvements in that part Of
the city rather than temporary i'm
provements which will give no ulti-
mate benefit to either the people or

"going through" and they will be an

Londonderry May Be
Old Erin's Lexington
CBy United Press)

London Discomfort in Ireland has
approached the stage Of open revolu-
ton. Dispatches from Londonderry
bring the news that a pitched battle
between British soldiery and Sim
Feiners has been raging since late
Tuesday evening. Firing is constant
with both rifles and machine guns.
The rebels haev barricaded themselves
at strategic points and are sniping
with merciless accuracy. The dead in
both civilian clothes and multi lie I'M
buried in the streets. Reinforcements
from neighboring garrisons have failed
to quell the ardor of the rebels or to
save the British troopers from the bull
let's Of Celtic sharp-shooters. 1t is
probable that martial law will be pro-
claimed throughout Ireland if the
spirit Of Londonderry continues and
spreads to other cities in southern
Ireland.

Tells Commission Kenosha
Is Robbing that City Of
It's Gas Supply.
MAY FORCE CHANGES
Insistent Demand of City Of
Racine May Make Erection
of Plant Here a Necessity.

The city of Kenosha before the Wis
cousin Railroad Commission charged
the city of Kenosha with petty lar
ceny. 1t has alleged that the city OF
Kenosha is robbing it of its gas sup
ply and that on account of the fact
that thirty per cent of the gas made
in Racine is sent to Kenosha through
low pressure lines is responsible for
the, fact that there is shortage of
gas to take care of the city of Racine.
1t is just possible that the demand of
the city of Racine to the commission
may force the Wisconsin Gas and Elec-
trio company to build a larger gas plant
in Kenosha in order to provide for the
supply necessary for this city.
At Informal Hearing.
Racine made her charges against
Kenosha at an informal hearing held
by Commissioner Jackson in Milwau-
kee and City Attorney Cuttings of
Racine, made the charges.
The matter came before the commits
sioner in an informal way, the subject
of gas being foreign to the business
before the hearing which was held for
the purpose of taking the final testi-
mony in the matter Of increased car
fare for the street railway company.
However, as the opportunity was af-
forded him, the Racine city attorney
said today, he took advantage of the
privilege 81 explaining the gas sttu-
alton in Raciney and explaining to the
commission that the company was not
furnishing gas of good quality.
Refuses to Extend Mains.
1t was explained by the city attor-
ney that the company had refused to
extend its mains in Racine and give
service to residents of new sections,
whore large number Of new homes
had been constructed and where there
is no gas service of any kind. Attor-
ney Shaw, of the company, told the
commission that the company was
unable to extend the mains for the
reason that the plant in Racine was
up to it's capacity and for the further
reason that it could not finance the
plan to remodel the plant and put it
an position where the needs of the
city could be cared for.
Blames Racine for Condition.
His contention was that the city's
decision to buy the plant and its delay
in carrying out the plan was RESPONSE
Bile for the company's inability to Sc
cure the funds to make the improve
ments in the local plant. The conten-
tion of the city attorney, however, was
hat the company was doing bust
ness over too great territory and
that # there were no high pressure
lines to Kenosha and other cities.
would be ample capacity SO that mains
could be extended.
He said that if thirty per cent of
the gas were not furnished to Keno
sha there would be no need for a
remodeled plant and therefore no need
of capital, and the company would
be able to meet the requirements Of
tho city.

STATE BOARD
GETS PETITION
R. R. Commissions Sends
North Shore Line
Complaint.
COMMUTERS ARE SAFE
No Change Made in Monthly
and 1000 Mile Tickets in APP
peal for Higher Schedule.


The officials Of the city Of Kenosha
today received formal notice from the
WISCONSIN Railroad Commission that
the Chicago, North Shore and Milwau-
kee Electric Railway company had filed
a petition with the commission for the
permission to increase rates charged
on the portions Of the lines within
the state of Wisconsin. The increase
asked for is the same as has been
asked from the Interstate Commerce
Commission, the announcement of
which was made in the Evening News
on Monday evening. The commission
has invited all people in the state in
terested in the proposed change in
rates to appear at hearing which has
been set for July 14th at two o'clock in
the afternoon. The hearing will be held
at the state capitol at Madison.
All Cities Notified.
Milwaukee, Racine and Kenosha, the
three Wisconsin cities to be directly
affected by the rate change as proposed
have been invited to send representa-
tives to the hearing. It is not ex-
pected that any protest on the pro-
posed change in the rate will be made
officially by the city of Kenosha, but
the matter may be laid before the
common council for consideration at
its next regular meeting and the
council may direct the city attorney
to attend the hearing and protect the
rights of the people of Kenosha.
No Change for Commuters.
Kenosha has a large interest in the
charges made for Communication tickets
on this interurban road as these
tickets are used by many working men
and women of Kenosha who on ac-
count of shortage of houses are forced
to make their homes in Winthrop Har-
Dor, Zion City and Waukegan. The
rates to be charged for the various
forms Of communication tickets are not
to be changed if the petition presented
by the company is favorably acted on
by the state commission. The rate
set by these tickets is as follows:
For 1000 mile book, $4,000 twenty
five ride bearer ticket, .O23 cents per
mile; fifty ride child's ticket, OF per
dividual monthly tickets, .015 per
mile; fifty ride childs ticket, OF per

between Milwaukee and the various sta
tons in Kenosha county under the old
and the new rate, is stated as follows:

ARNESON HEADS
new COMP ANY
Kenosha Iron Expert, Is
Named President Of Ke-
nosha Foundry Co.
A GROWING CONCERN

A state charter was issued by Secre-
tary of State Merlin Hull today for
the organization of the "Kenosha
Foundry Company" new organiza-
ton formed by prominent Kenosha
men, as announced in the Evening
News a week ago. The company has
capital stock of 100000 and it is
to be fully paid in. The company
will engage in a general foundry and
machine shop business.
Ole A. Arneson, president of the
Arneson Foundry company, Frank j.
Kraft and Frank j. Farnam, are
named as the incorporators Of the
new organization.
The new corporation will build a
large modern factory at once at site
not as yet agreed upon. Several loca-
tions are under consideration, but
none of them have been found ex-
actly fitted to the present needs and
future possibilities for the foundry.
Accordingly its incorporators are still
combing the city for an ideal place
to build their new plant.
L
At meeting of stockholders in the
new concern, held in the Offices of A.
L. Drury on Tuesday evening, the fol-
lowing officers were elected for the
ensuing year: President, Ole Arneson;
vice president, Frank J. Farnam;
secretary, N j. Werner; treasurer, F.
]. Kraft All Of the officers are men of
wide experience in the iron industry
and bring the new foundry the profit
and prestige of past achievements.
Allow for Expansion.
The plant will not confine itself to
the manufacture of any one iron pro-
duct. It's equipment will be such as
will allow a change in its commodity
as the market may make change adj
visable In case of a growing demand
for any one of its manufactures it will
be made the staple or possibly the
exclusive product of the foundry.
With such policy it is impossible
for the officers to estimate at this
time how many workmen they will
employ, but conservative estimates
place the number at eighty.
Construction work on the new fac
tory will begin as soon as its officials
have found a site which seems suitable
10 all the needs Of the new concern.
