COUNTY EXPENSES GROW.

County Clerk Jones has made his semi
annual report of county orders paid for
the county and this shows that the run
ming expenses for the six months show
an increase of more than $4,000 over the
expenses for the same period of last
year. The total county orders paid in
the first six months of the year were
$lS,033a3 as compared with S15,5O1. 43
last year. The largest item in the in
crease is $3.50 which was placed in
the special bridge fund. These figures
do not include the court costs as these
have not as yet been made up by the
clerk. They will be little less than
the court expenses of the previous ear.

AFTER THE MINORS |PLAN INVESTIGATION
Common Council Seeks to
Prohibit Minors Entering
Saloons of the City
PROTECT THE LIQUOR DEALERS

The common council may adopt an
ordinance which will protect the liquor
dealers of the city being imposed up
on by minors as an ordinance has been
drafted which makes it a misdemea-
nor for any person under p years of
age seeking to purchase liquor in a
saloon and for any person under that
age being about places where liquor
is sold, unless employed there.
It has always been claimed that in al
most every instance where arrests have
been made for the sale of liquor to
minors the person selling the liquor has
been imposed upon. The minor would
enter a saloon and calling for liquor
would declare that he was of age and
on that statement liquor was sold to
him.
The title of the measure is can Or
dinance to prohibit the sale of liquors
to minors and is as follows:
IL dLy PClnOA IL y6TS Olu
shall misrepresent himself to be 81
years and over and shall procure malt
spirituous or other Intoxicating liquors
by reason of such misrepresentation he
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
Further, no person who is under 81
years of age shall ask for, buy, obtain
or drink any Intoxicating liquor in any
saloon or other place in the city of Ke-
nosha, nor shall any such person enter
saloon or other place where liquors
are sold, unless such person is an EN-
ploye, or bonafde ledger or boarder
on the promises he so enters. Any per-
son who shall violate the ordinance,
upon being convicted, shall be subject
to fine of not less than So nor more
than 800 and costs Of prosecution or
by Imprisonment in the county Jail for
a period of not less than five nor more
than thirty days.

State Game Warden's Dept. to
Fall Under Searching Eyes
of Legislative Com.
WOULD CORRECT ALL ABUSES

a searching investigation of the state
fish and game department is to be made
by a special legislative committee and
it is claimed that startling conditions
will be found to have existed in this
important department. 1t is understood
that certain documents are in the pos
session of persons which if presented
to the committee will result in a COM
plete change in the department.
Ever since John A. Schotles Of Sparta,
the tagged justice Of the peace" be-
came lead of the department. succeed
ing George w. Riekeman of Racine,
there have been many rumors relative
to the management of the department.
Deputies have been ousted merely for
political reasons, it is claimed, in an
effort to build up powerful political
machine. Employees in the game war
den's department at Madison, despite
the fact that they were under civil
service rule and they were removed
without being given hearing, it is
charged. A resolution offered in the
assembly by w. j. Bichler, democrat
and which was adopted, calls for ap-
pointment of a special committee of
this legislature to institute the investi-
CATION and to report its findings to the
next legislature. It the resolution is
adopted by the senate and the com
mittee is named several persons, resi-
dents of Kenosha, will be summoned be-
fore the committee and questioned
The resolution is the outgrowth Of
frequent and persistent rumors which
have been aired throughout this session
that things are not just right in the
game warden's department, in the
words Of the author. A number of
times it has been stated on the assem-
bly, floor that game wardens and their
deputies have violated the law and that
they spend more Of their time election
eering than in attending to the duties
of their offices.
Mr.. Bichler, in explaining the meas
ure, said that he had knowledge of NAL
practice in the ranks of wardens and
that he had heard Of many other flag
rant violations Of the fish and game
laws which wardens had committed.
He spoke of one instance where it was
claimed that warden and another Of
fetal conspired to arrest a hunter and
divide the money received from the
fine.
The resolution directs that the presi-
dent of the senate shall appoint two
members of the special committee and
the speaker three members of the as
sembly. 1t gives the committee the
power to investigate everything con-
nected with the fish and game depart
ment, to subpoena witnesses and to adj
minister oaths. The resolution was
adopted by an overwhelming vote.

Aurora 8, Kenosha 7.

The Aurora team of the Wisconsin
Illinois League nosed out Kenosha on
Monday afternoon, but it took ten inn
ings to do it and bad Judgment in base
running on the part of the local play
ers was alone responsible for defeat.
The crowd of 100 people in the grand
stand did not offer any great induce

teams put UP as pretty q ball game
as has been seen in Kenosha this year.
Kenosha led up to the ninth inning
when the Aurora hitters got busy and
brought in runs enough to tie the score.
Kenosha tried hard to win in her half
of the inning but failed to make good
and in the tenth Aurora hit the ball
over the lot for three more runs. Ke-

and they died but died hard. Two Ke

half Of the tenth, but this was not
enough to tie or win. The score fol-

Sensations Expected in Northern Min
neeota Scandal.
Superintendent Fielding, the st. Paul
Pinkerton man who has had charge of
the Dumas case, says Mike Davis, the
alleged robber who escaped during the
midnight battle at Puposky week
ago, has been found and will be under
arrest within forty-eight hours.
On top of this comes the news that
Billy Behan, the wounded robber in
Jail at Bemidji, has completed a con-
fession of several typewritten pages,
which he is said to have signed at the
county jail in the presence of wit
nesses and in which he is alleged to
have made clean breast of every
thing, duplicating others.
This confession will not be given
out until after the arrest of Davis.
Other men were put through the

record with new evidence, according
to the detectives. A man implicated in
enc of two robberies committed at
Puposky prior to the attempt of a

DECIDES ALASKAN
COAL LAND CLAIMS
Secretary Fisher Rules Against
Cunningham interests.

Washington, June 27.-The famous
Cunningham Alaskan coal land claims,
through which it has been alleged that
the Morgan-Guggenheim syndicate had
planned to extend their vast interests
in Alaska and to control one of the
most valuable coal fields in the world,
were finally disallowed by the depart
ment of the interior.
Secretary of Interior Walter Fisher,
having approved the departments de-
cision, as handed down by Fred Den
nett, commissioner of the land Office,
the last door is believed to have been
closed to the Cunningham claimants.
The attorneys have threatened an ap-
peal to the United States supreme
court, but such appeal can be based
only on some point of law involved
and not on the findings of fact as an
nounced by the department.
The Cunningham claims have been
in the public eye constantly for more
than two years past. They brought
about the Ballinger-Pinchot investiga-
ton by congress and the dismissal
from the public service of Chief For
ester Clifford Pinchot, Louis R. CLAWS,
chief of field division in the land
Office, and several minor officials. Both
Pinchot and CLAWS we're dismissed for
characterization incident to their at.
tacks on former Secretary Ballinger,
whom they alleged was favorably dis
posed toward the claims.

noN0RS the FIRST MINNESOTA
Flftteth Anniversary Of Regiments
Departure for War Celebrated
at st. Paul:

The celebration at st. Paul of thu
fftieth anniversary Of the departure OF
the First Minnesota regiment was one
of the greatest lessons in patriotism
ever taught in Minnesota, an anniver-
sary of a vanishing generation of
fighters that went straight to the
heart of every citizen. To the veteran
thus honored it was more.
The veterans were appreciative of
the honors shown them and at the
Auditorium Samuel. r. Lilly, former
president of the First Minnesota
Regiment association, said never be-
fore in the martial history of the Unit
ed States had military organization
been so honored as the First Mime
sofa regiment in St. Paul.
From early morning until late at
night the veterans were entertained
at anniversary events and it perhaps
was the most strenuous day some of
them have witnessed in recent years.
There was reunion of members of
the First Minnesota at the old capitol
and Mrs. James J. Hill presented the
regiment with a counterpart of the
regimental colors given the organiza-
ton at the time of it's departure fifty
years ago. Colonel Josiah R. King,
the first man voluntarily to enlist in
the army after the firing on Fort
Sumpter, was crowned with a laurel
wreath. Following the beetowal of
these honors the business session of
the regimental association was held
and new officers were elected.
In the afternoon the members of
the First regiment participated in a
parade which traversed the principal
streets of the city, all gaily decorated
for the occasion.
At the Auditorium informal greet.
ing was extended the survivors of the
famed regiment by Governor Eberhart
and Mayor Keller and D. w. Lawler
former mayor, delivered the anniver.
sary Grafton, lauding the great men OF
Minnesota who played prominent
parts in the Civil war.
