MANY ATTEND
HEARINGS AT
K~EITHSBURC
All Evidence In Five Cases Before
State Commerce Commission Is
In-Many Testify.
Especial Correspondence

K~eithsburg, Dec. 3.-The Illinois
commerce commission held a meet
ing at Keithsburg Thursday and
Friday trying five cases of inter
est to the residents of Aledo and
Keithsburg and other towns in the
near vicinity.
Assistant Commissioner Kuhn,
his reporter and engineer repre-
scented the commission. The hear
ing of so many cases at one time
here vas a PURGE of much interest
to the citizens, many of whom at
tended as did the senior class of
the high school, to get a first hand
study of civics.
The first case tried was that of
the Western Union and city of
Keithsburg, wherein the city of
Keithsburg asked for the main
tenance of some method by which
kilograms could be received and
transmitted on Sundays. This case
disclosed that there were 500 other
small towns in Illinois. where al
though the same rate is charged,
messages cannot be sent or receiv-
ed on Sundays.
The second case was that of the
city of Aledo VS.. Illinois Northern
Lighting company, on account of
alleged erroneous billing of rural
patrons for light and power. In
this case these patrons asked the
company to establish a method
similar to that used in towns, with
NJ nIAf+Tnnn1 nhar0n NEItnaccnc
from Viola and Windsor FURNISHED
the testimony. but inasmuch as all
of the facts are similar to the Dix
on case now before the commission.
Il decision in that cas- will proba-
bly, answer all of the questions
raised in this case.
The third case was that of the
city OF Aledo VS.. Illinois Northern
Utility company, wherein the city
is asking for the operation of a
standby plant to render service
wiener the transmission line which
brings power from Milan fails. Tes-
timony developed that on Saturday
nights frequently there were light
failures, resulting in poor business
in AIedo. This case is about the
same as the Keithsburg case, which
was tried some time ago, resulting
in a decision of the commission re-
quiring continuous operation in
Keithsburg.
This case resulted in a very spir-
tied hearing, in which some IL wit
nesSes were heard. all business men
of Aledo. including the mayor. Wal
ter Crosslin of Chicago and Oscar
Carlstrom of Springfield represent
ed the company, and r. Z. Watson
the city of AIedo. l. S. Mayer of
keithsburg represented the seven
other towns effected.
From 6 to s o'clock Friday the
commission heard the two cases Of
the city of Keithsburg VS. the c., b.
& @. and NJ. & St. l.. railroad for
the establishment of crossing pro-
lection in Keithsburg. Both of
these cases wer hard fought and
developed considerable ~cross-ex-
animation.

was then introduced by Mrs.
Everett and he addressed his au-
dience on the topic THE Boy
Problem" AS county judge Of

qualified to discuss this topic, bas-
ing his observations and remarks
upon his experiences in that ca
pacity.
Realizing the latent power which
lies in and with the boys of today.
Judge Tel1een emphasized the need
of Dad" seeing or trying to see
his boy from the boys viewpoint
of things and conditions. Pal"
with them is his advice. In all of
any boys errors, or throughout
any act Of crime, a boy still has a
longing to be a man. His ideals
are not shattered. Force is a dan
gerous weapon TO be used in direct
ing a boy: he resents it. but will
open-heartedly meet a friend.
His address made a deep impress
sion upon his audience when in
closing he stated that in his work
in the juvenile court he always
hearing a criminal case, but rather
was dealing in human souls.
