JITNEY DRIVERS
In new BATTLE
City is Enjoined from In
terfering With Opera
ton of Buses.
CLAIM LAW IS VOID

Fighting by injunction, the jitney
drivers in Kenosha re-opened their
fight for unrestricted use Of the streets
of the city on Monday afternoon when
Mayor John G. Joachim, City Clerk W.
Harrington, Chief of Police Owen
O'Hare were served with an injunction
issued by Judge Belden in the circuit
court restraining the officials of the
city from interfering with the opera
tons, of jitneys in the city. The Of
fcials were ordered to appear in the
circuit court on March 14th and show
cause why the injunction should not be
made permanent and why the ordinance
under which the city regulates the
operation of this form of common car
riers should not be declared null and
void. The summons and complaint in
suit to test the validity of the city's
right to license the jitney buses was
filed in conjunction with the restrain
ing writ and the officials announced
this morning that the city would de-
fend its ordinance in court action.
Veteran Fighter Leads in Case.
Peter Augustine, persistent and
veteran fighter to establish the rights
OF. the jitney as common carrier, is
one of the plaintiffs in the case and
he is Joined in the suit by Carl
Schwartz. Under the terms Of the in
junction issued in the circuit court the
city is restrained from interfering in
any way with the jitneys pending some
decision on the order to show cause.
The action brought against the city
does not contain any considerable
amount Of new matter and it is the
old "jitney fight" over again. 1t al
leges that the city council acted with
out charter warrant in passing the or
dinance to license the jitneys, that the
ordinance takes away the property
rights of the jitney men, that it is
discriminatory and confscatory and
that it is contrary to public policy. 1t
alleges that the defendants in the ac-
ton have complied with all the orders
of the railroad commission in regard
to the operation of such common car
riers and that regardless of the fact
that proof Of such compliance has
been submitted to the proper offices
the city has declined to issue the
permits to these men.
Aimed Especially at Mayor.
The mayor is made a special target
for attack in the complaint, it being
declared that he has openly and re-
peatedly refused to issue permits to
Augustine and Schwartz and that he
has given interviews to the public
press in which he has sought to curb
the operations of the jitneys. While
Augustine and Schwartz are the only
two plaintiff named in the suit, it is
declared that it is brought to establish
the rights of other men now engaged
in the jitney traffic in the city and
for others who are ready to enter the
business as soon as their right to oper-
ate without interference from the of
ficials of the city is established.
The complaint alleges that in seek
ing to force the operations of the lit
neys the plaintiffs are meeting a de-
mand of the public for better transpor-
tation service in the city of Kenosha.
It is possible that the suit will be
put on the March calendar of the cir
cult court for hearing.

Weird Spectacle
in Electric Storm
Lyman Avenue Residents See Peculiar
Nature Freak When Lightning
Jumps Electric Wires.

Residents of Lyman avenue witness
ed one of those unexplainable freaks
of the elements about seven o'clock
Saturday night during the electrical
storm. At the home of Mrs. Arden
Park, it was said, three balls of fire
were coming at terrific rate when
they were DETECTED for some unex-
plainable reason and crashed into a
tree. All the bark was torn off the
tree and it was otherwise badly torn
up.
The lightning would have completely
demolished the meter box if it had
struck and in all probability would
have set fire to the Park home. The
jumping of the fire was certainly an
act of Providence for the residents of
the Park home. Mrs. Arden Park who
was just coming home, suffered a
shock from her umbrella. Other resi-
dents in the vicinity reported similar
shocks.

Dawn This Morning.
(By United Pressl

With the Allied Armies Allied
trops marched across the Rhine today
In the early morning, when the river
mists were just beginning to thin out
long columns of French, British and
Belgian soldiers, equipped and ration
ed for. war, tramped over the bridges
and into the German cities of Dussel-
dorff, Duisberg and Ruhrort.
Horse, foot and artillery, were ad-
ivanced into the Ruhr valley, Germany

to the narrow streets of the old@cities
people peeped out timidly from win
dows and doorways.. The rumble of
wheels and the clatter of hoofs, the
sound Of shrill whistles giving orders
and the steady shuff-shuff of thousands
of feet over the cobbles, was the
music to which the allied armies
marched deeper into Germany.
The operations were directed by
Gen. Degoutte of the French army
from his headquarters at Neuss, OPP
posite Dusseldorf. The French forces
were under direct commander of Gen
eral Gaucher.
During the night the French ad-
Vanced to the center of the Dusseldorf
bridge where barbed wire entangle-
lment was placed Pioneers went ahead
and threw up earthworks and estab-
lished trench line beyond the bridge
just as of lurking enemy were wait
ing to attack. There was no sign OF
life, however, from the darkened city
and the operations were conducted in
a strange quiet. Meanwhile, more
French troops IL river boats were com.
ing up the Rhine past Coblenz, where
tie United States army of occHnation is
based. They passed Coblenz in the night
Before today's forward movement
started, artillery clattered over Dus-
seldorff bridge and swung into posi-
tion where it could over the advance
of the army at dawn.
Then the French, British and Bel
gians went forward, bayonets fixed and
ready for action but there was no sign
of resistances not even stray shot
from a housetop. Commanding officers

ers, their STATS we're billeted nearby

time the city was completely occupied
At the same time, and in accord with
plans prepared by the allied leaders
when it was seen that the Germans
would remain obsurate, French anc
