PLANS FOR G. A. r. ENoAMPMENT.
Madison Expects over Thousand Vet
Grams at Camp Randall in June

Plans are being made for the June
encampment Of the G. A. r. which will
be held in Madison. Lucius Fairchild
Post, IN charge of preparations, ex-
poets that at least one thousand vet
Grams will take part in the encampment
and that at least ten thousand more
people will be there for the day of the
big parade. The encampment will be
June 9th, 10th and 18th
mayor A. H. Kayser, in proclama-
ton to the citizens of Madison, urges
that the city be prepared to care for
the crowds and especially, see that the
veterans are made comfortable during
their stay. The mayor says in part:
There will be from FIVE thousand
to seven thousand veterans of the civil
war and members Of their families in
attendance, coming from all parts of
the union, all desiring to see the
capitol and Camp Randall once more
perhaps for the last time.
"No charity is asked for on the
part of the old soldiers. They will
bring their purses with them. They
only ask for an opportunity to pur-
chase comfortable places to sleep and
good, wholesome food to eat at rea-
sonable rates. The citizens of Madi-
son. will be benefited by their coming.
We cannot afford to have them depart
from our city dissatisfied. On previ-
Gus occasions of this kind the impress
sion prevailed that our city did not
show the propert cordiality and appre-
citation of the services rendered our
country by these war SCARED veter-
ans. Let use, therefore, on this occa-
sion, do our very best to show that
Madison is as patriotic and apprecia-
tive of the old soldiers as any city
in the union

Charge But They Fail to Put Up His
Bond and He Is Forced to Go to Jail.

Joseph G. Banaszynski, former police
and fire commissioner, arrested ON
Tuesday noon on charges of embezzle-
ment, spent Tuesday night in the
county jail and he was still this after
noon hoping against hope that some
of his friends would raise the bail of
$3.50 demanded for his release from
custody. Banaszynski was arraigned
before Judge Randall just before noon
on Tuesday and when the bail was fix
ed the defendant expected to be able
to furnish it early in the afternoon.
No formal commitment was issued by
the court and Banaszynski went back
to the police Office in the custody of
an officer to await the response from
telephone messages for aid. He waited
at the police office until after six
G clock Tuesday evening when he gave
up hopes of securing release on bail
and surrendered himself to the police
officers to be placed in a cell. During
the afternoon Mayor Scholey and
Michael Kolosky, both former strong
political friends of the accused man,
visited him at the police office, but
neither of them furnished the small
bail demanded by the court. Banaszyn-
ski was greatly disappointed at the
failure of his friends to save him from
the humiliation of the nigh5 Jail.

money Of the White Eagle Society, the
officers Of which secured his arrest, was
left in his keeping and that some of
this money was used in the regular
business of the defendant. However,
he was bonded to the organization and
he declares that he has always been
ready to make a settlement Of the
claims Of the society against him. The
Banaszynski drug store on Milwaukee
avenue has been closed since the ar
rest of the former commissioner. He
asserted in court that he had no clerk
and that he was planning to dispose of
the store in order to meet his financial
obligations

Elements Of the financial troubles He
declared that he had been sought as

GIVEN HIGH PRAISE.
State Board of Control Declares Keno
sha Jail is in Fine Condition.

The Kenosha county jail has been
given a clean bill of health by the
state board of control and this morning
Sheriff T. w B. Achen received a let
ter from the board containing the re-
port Of an inspection of the Kenosha
bastile made on May 8th by c. A
Shower, one of the inspectors of the
state department. Inspector Shower
spent the better part of the day in
Kenosha and his examination of the
Jail included complete inspection of
every department. In commenting on
the report of the Inspector, Johr P.
Lewis, one of the members of the
state board, SAYS
The report indicates that Kenosha
county has an excellent Jail, well
equipped and well managed, and we
congratulate you on having conditions
worthy of the foregoing report. Z"
At the same time of the inspection
o. the Jail the state inspector made a
visit to the city lookup and the city
poor farm, but as yet no report on
these buildings has been received from
the board of control 1t is certain that
all of them will pass muster. Acting
on the suggestion of the board some
changes have been made in the city
lookup in recent weeks and it is
thought that with these changes the
lookup will meet every demand of the
board.
