COOLIDGE FAVORS
RAIL CONSOLIDATION
Announces From Swampscott That He
Believes Consolidation Only Rem
edy for Railroad Troubles.

Swampscott, Mass - --Volun-
tary consolidation of railroads in Pres
ident Coolidge's opinion would pave
the way to a solution OF the transpor-
tation problem.
While he had refrained from COM
hitting himself on the proposal, the
President is watching with interest
the efforts of the Vansweringen inter
ests to receive interstate commercs
commission approval Of their merger
plan. He believes that settlement of
the points at issue will make it pos
sible for other transportation systems,
now at sea, as to whether they can
proceed with consultations to def
nitely proceed with their program.
Mr.. Coolidge, who in the past has
advocated voluntary consolidation
wherever advisable, is of the opinion
that in this way the vexing rate prob
lem can be solved.
transportation charges, he believes,
could then be fixed at level which
would enable large operating systems
to make fair return on their entire
business and would do away with the
present conditions where some lines
are making an enormous profit while
others are making none.

Binder Irvine
Supply Exhausted

Madison, Wis. - Wisconsin
farmers have exhausted the available
supply of binder Irvine manufactured
at the state prison at Waupun, !. M
Wright, secretary of the Wisconsin
Farm Bureau federation, said today
The state plant is running day and
night to make Irvine available for corn
harvest this fall, he said.
Prices of prison-made Irvine were
fixed at 10 7-8 cents and 13 3D. cents
a pound for the two grades this sea-
son, which the state board Of con-
troll announced was the lowest pos
sible figure, and substantial reduc-
ton from prevailing prices.
"The high quality of the product
now coming from the state prison at
Waupun insures the success of this
undertaking and it will mean vast
financial saving to Wisconsin farm
ers,' Mr.. Wright declared. 'Tn addi-
ton to the low price at which they
are buying this Irvine, about $4,000 of
patronage dividends will be returned
to the county farm bureau organiza-
ton on orders received TO date"

Walker Can't Forsee
Quick Settlement

Chicago, Ill. Mickey
Walker, the welterweight champion
facing indefinite suspension by the
New York State Athletic commission
is not hopeful for an immediate set
Element of the trouble.
Walker came here yesterday to be-
gin training for his ten-round node
cision bout with Billy Wells of Great
Britain next Friday night at East Chi
cago, Ind. At the same time the New
York commission considered suspen-
sion if Walker and Jack Dempsey do
not appear today before the commits
sion and sign articles of agreement
for title matches with their outstand-
ing challengers, Dave Shade and Har-
ry Wills. .a5 4atE
"They can't seem to get US straight
ened out" said Walker. II agreed to
fight Shade. and my manager, Jack
Kearns, signed for the bout. But
that didn't suit.
when they had me before the COM
mission I told them that my manager
would have to sign for me and talk
business for me. That made then,
sore, | guess, because they seem TO
be off Kearns because he tried to pro-
tect Dempsey by ducking Wills. So
there doesn't seem to be much hope
for an immediate, settlement of the
trouble. ~ @
81 fought Shade twice and am ready
to fight him again. Perhaps when
Kearns gets here he will talk matters
over about putting the fight on here.
1.-THE way it looks now, Shade won't
fight me in California, where 1 signed
to meet him, and the New York COM
mission will not let me fight in their
territory because Kearns is my man
anger. So maybe we'll have to come
to Chicago to put the thing over"
Kearns is enroute east from the
Pacific coast and probably will arrive
here tomorrow.

Start War On
Bad Egg Shippers


Madison, Wis. go - prosecution
of egg dealers in Columbia, Sank, Eau
Claire, Dunn and Iowa counties on
charges Of shipping bad eggs has been
started by field men of the Wisconsin
department of markets. The depart
ment alleged that buyers failed to
carefully candle and remove unmer-
charitable eggs from shipments exam
ined by the inspectors.
Similar prosecutions last year re-
suited in convictions.
The majority of egg buyers are CO.
operating in the elimination of bad
eggs from Wisconsin shipments, the
marketing department announced, but
some legal action is necessary to in
sure full compliance with the regula-
tions. Evidence has been obtained
against additional dealers and further
prosecutions will be filed soon, the
authorities said.
Results of the past years work have
been satisfactory and Wisconsin eggs
have a better reputation for quality
on the central markets than formerly,
the department stated. The campaign
for better eggs has been waged for
the past two years.

FIND @WHOOPS"
CONDITIONS BAD
Health Department Issues
Warning of Prevalence of
Whooping Cough.
l27 DEATHS IN 1924

Declaring that the prevalence OF
vhooping cough in the state is reach
ing alarming proportions, the Wis
consin State Board. of Health is issu-
ing warning through the Kenosha
health department, calling the atten-
ton of the citizens of the city to
the condition.
Health Commissioner DR.. Gustave
Windesheim in spreading the warning
in Kenosha indicated that while this
city has not an unusually large pro-
portionate rate of cases of this dis
ease, the warning is equally applicable
here.
"The state board of health" the mo-
tice says ''is receiving some reports
that mild cases of whooping cough
frequently escape placarding to the
risk of exposure Of children. The law
calls for the reporting of all cases and
those reasonably suspected on the
part of the physician in attendance or
by the parent"
Should Report Suspects.
The letter continues to demand that
ly. stages of whooping cough must be
reported as such and that wherever
symptoms are uncovered they must be
treated before the disease becomes
more chronic, and before it has an OPP
portunity to reach other children ex-
posed to it. .tThe early recognition
of cases is the most potent factor in
lessening the prevalence of the dis
ease," the warning adds.
There were $685. cases of whoop-
ing cough reported to the various
boards of health of Wisconsin and 1877
deaths in the year 1924. A perusal
of the mortality from whooping cough
in Wisconsin for a number of years
brings forth the realization that it is
more serious disease than the laity
are aware Of"
DR.. Windesheim adds that in 1920
the deaths from whooping cough reach
ed the high figure Of 299 in Wiscon-
sin-the highest figure ever attained.
The 127 deaths reported in 1924 from
this disease alone represents a con-
siderable drop but the death rate there
Is much too. high, he adds.
The appeal is addressed to all par
ents to watch their children and to
seek medical attention from their fam
lily doctors the moment that their
suspicious are aroused pointing to i'll
ness Of any kind in child.

Outlines Policies
for Dairy Success
Experts Show Best Policies to Be
Used by Those Engaged in the
Dairying Business.


Madison, Wis Five policies
for Wisconsin dairymen to consider &c
enable them to succeed 'tin the fullest
degree" are outlined by Dean H. L
Russell and Prof. Theodore Macklin
Of the University of Wisconsin col
lege OF agriculture in comparison
of dairying methods in Wisconsin and
New Zealand. The British colony was
visited by the two Badger agricultur-
lists, whose study was similar to that
of experts sent by New Zealand to
America, Denmark and the Argentine
to learn the latest improvement.
The five policies recommended for
adoption in Wisconsin, based upon the
observations abroad, are:
Grading of milk and cream at the
butter and cheese factories and the
payment of the highest prices for the
best grade milk and cream and of the
lowest prices for the poorest.
Stopping the causes of law quality
and showing how to produce high
quality.
Testing of dairy cattle to weed out
improbable cows.
Building up capable and efficient
dairy factory management.
The management proposal is essen
tial to a profitable butter and cheese
industry, Dean Russell and Professor
Macklin declared. Development of eff
fective selling, they say, requires
quality products and dependable mar
keting services.
"The difference in the prices of each
grade of milk and cream" the report
states, ''must be great enough to re-
ward the producer Of high grade raw
materials. 1t also must remove the
injustice of conditions that pays the
producer of poor raw material enough
so that he keeps on turning out the
low quality milk or cream. This prac-
tice in New Zealand enables the farm
ers to turn out high grade milk or
cream under more profitable condi-
tions than to produce lower quality
and receive less returns. That this
practice works we'll is further demon
strated by the remarkable experience
of dairymen at Tillamook, Oregon. In
this section grading raw material has
been followed for a number of years
with marked success"

"We didn't get chance to secure
tickets for the dancing" said Lee

However, we did find the slot machine
and two-thirds of gallon of wine.
This morning Mr.. Benedict appear

secured the warrants for Palmer's ar
rest.

''He worked for me and I thought
I would have him take out the permit
this time"
ooh, that's it," said President AL
ford, smelling a rat. "You may have
your answer Immediately. We are
not going to grant permit in a case
of this kind. On the statement this
man has just made, think it would
be useless for this man to make re-

as this are the kind which the council
is trying to eliminate. There is q
plain subterfuge here and we will not
countenance it."
Three Permits Revoked.
The council revoked three permits
for Class A places. These were all
revoked because of violations of the
law in the places in question. The
permits revoked were those Of Nellie
Labanowski, 213 South Rowland ave-
nue., where the bartender, William
Grigalis had pleaded guilty to law vi
olation; of Mike Kitz, 167 Market
street, and Boleslaw Sielewicz, 5A1

the permit holder had pleaded guilty
to law violation.
A Class A permit was granted to

there had been no convictions against
him in the past year.

POLICE RECORD
SHOWS VIGILANCE I
Arrests Have Been On the
Increase During Past.
Seven Months.
TIGHTENING THE LID
Officials Point to Record as In
dicatiOn Lid Is Being Tight
ened On Law Violations.

Clamping the lid on crimes of all
kinds in Kenosha has been done stead
lily during the past seven months &C
cording to the report made public to-
day by City Manager c. M. Osborn.
The report was made by the police de-
partment showing that their has been
increased activity on the part of the
police in enforcing all OF the laws.
A comparison of the report for the
same period in 1924 shows that there
have been 1859 arrests in the seven
months of 1925 as against 1889 in the
1924 period, this being an increase of
ID per cent. 1t is stated by city Of
ficials that this does not indicate an
increase of crime in the community
but rather an increased vigilance on
the part of officials in running down
law violations.
Big Jump in Dry Enforcement.
Of special interest are the figures
showing the activity of the depart
ment in the enforcement of the various
liquor laws. These show that in the
seven month period in 1925 there have
been TIA arrests for violations of the
liquor laws here as against 100 in the
corresponding period in 1924, an in
crease of "a per cent.
Speeding enforcement has also in
creased. In 1924 there were 1870 ar
rests while in 1925 there were 181

have been arrested for burglary this
year as against 8 in 1924, showing
the efforts which the police are max
ing to break up the epidemic Of petty
burglaries here. Kenosha has not
been the only city where burglaries
have increased as all of the cities
along the lake shore seem to have
known this effect of the clamping down
of the lid in Chicago,
Clamp Lid on Gamblers.
The lid is also being clamped on
gamblers as 7s in Kenosha have faced
the judge this year on that charge
while only Is were brought into court
for gambling in the same period in
1924.
That the figures have not been. Jug
gled by filing disorderly conduct
charges is shown by the fact that
the arrests on this complaint have in
creased from 164 to 1913, keeping pace
with the other increases.

Dismisses Case Against Roland Red

to Appear in Court.

A man was brought into court this
morning on rather novel charge.
Roland Redstrom, 11o1 Salem avenue,
was the defendant and Edward Roth

cured the warrant for Redstrom's
arrest
Redstrom was charged with and
did wilfclly, maliciously and wanton-
~ cut down, root up, sever, iniure
and destroy certain personal property
belonging to Edward Rothbart, to-wit,
vegetable provisions, consisting of
tomato plants, carrots, beet plants,
etc., on the premises of the owner
and without. the permission Of Ed

Judge Slater read the charge and
then asked the defendant what he had
to say, guilty or not guilty.
mot guilty" replied Redstrom. He
told the court that he paid the rent
up to August 1, having moved out
at the request of the owner. He said
that he had planted the vegetables
himself, being allowed the plot of
ground to begin with. Redstrom said
that he dug up some of the vegetables
after he had moved, but that the rent
still covered that period.
where is the complaining wit
ness?" asked Judge Slater.
Rothbart's name was called but he
was not in the court room. Judge
Slater then delivered a speech against
issuing complaints like that" and
declared that such cases should be
investigated before a warrant is al
lowed to be issued. He dismissed the
case against Redstrom.

PORCHES.

The modern tendency is toward q
reduction in size of porches, and in
inclosing them with screen or glazed
sash and they are frequently equipped
with radiators for heating. A few
years ago designers went to the ex-
IRENE in adding porches to house
plans with the result that much area
of doubtful utility often was added.
Concrete porches are economical to
maintain.
