KenOsha Man Is Given the Position of
Inspector Of immigration at
Detroit, Michigan.
A SPLENDID CHRISTMAS PRESENT
Former Sheriff of the County Receives a
Him of His Good Fortune,

There may have been many Christ
mas presents of worth in the city but
the most fortunate man in the city was
John ]. Abel, who received in his
Christmas stocking a telegram from
Washington notifying him that he had
been named by the Secretary of War
as inspector of inning alton at Detroit,
| Mich.
The position is one Of the best in the
lgift Of the war department.. It is
practically six years position aud
carries with it a salary OF $4,000 a
year.
| Mr.. Abel will undoubtedly accept the
position and will take up the duties of
his new Office at the beginning of the
new year. For the present he will
probably be stationed at the Office of
the internal revenue department at
/ Detroit.
| The appointment came largely as a
isurprise to Mr.. Abel, for although he
had been an applicant for the position
he had received no word that he was to
be named. The appointment was
made several days ago but it was not
ANNOUNCED until Wednesday night in
order that it might come to the lucky
man as Christmas present.
The duties of Mr.. Abel's new Office
will be of varied nature. He will be
in charge of the regulation of imni-
grants coming into the country over
the Canadian border. The fact that
the Kenosha man was able to speak
ieight different languages was d strong
point in the fight made by his friends
for his appointment.
The position, while in the gift of the
treasury department., was portion of
the patronage accorded to Senator
Quarles and he directed that Mr.. Abel
be named. The Kenosha mans nomi-
nation was also seconded by Senator
Spooner.
The new inspector will probably go
] to Detroit next week to make arrange
ments for his work.
Mr.. Abel is well known among Re-
publican politicians in Wisconsin and
he came into prominence year ago
VsAA@@A la was uO POSSA AAOAA tAC OAAAO VI
assistant game warden by Governor
La Folle.te. He has been one of the
most active politicians in the county.
He has held the Office of sheriff and
has been considered one of the leaders
of his party among the Danes of the
lefty.
Mr.. Abel was quite active in the
work of Cthe Wisconsin Republican
League and for this reason it was
feared that his appointment to so high
position would be opposed by many
of the friends of the governor but
there was no such opposition and he
had practically the united support Of
the Republican delegation in Wash
ington.

In this connection IT Is pertinent to
note the great interest which the crea

active but friendly rivalry In the
