WISCONSIN CHEESE MEN WIN
National Weight Board Favors Recon-
mendations Made by Badger
Manufacturers.

Washington, D. C.-Although the net
weight board has promulgated its reg
ulations under which manufacturers
of food must mark the packages with
the weight of the contents, it is stated
at the bureau of chemistry that the
protests of the Wisconsin cheesemak-
ers had not been considered in final
form, and that for the present cheese
makers could consider themselves in
the same position as before the regu-
lations were promulgated. Exceptions
and further specifications under the
net weight rules will be drawn up
and Wisconsin cheese will be includ-
ed. Members of the Wisconsin delega-
ton believe the net weight board will
comply with many of the requests OF
the cheesemakers, and not force them
to mark packages of easily shrinking
cheese with a figure supposed to in
dictate a net weight.

MIMIC WARFARE Is FATAL
Son of Winneconne Minister Is Fatally
Wounded by Playmate While
Playing Soldier.

nneconne.-Frederic Codd, 9
years old, son of the Rev. F. Codd,
was killed by Virgil Smith, u years
old, son of F. ]. Smith, grocer. The
tragedy was the result of playing with
an old broken rife, young Smith play
ing he was the American troops in
yading Mexico
The rife was given to Smith by a
blacksmith, so he might play soldier
with it. The trigger had been broken
of, and so far as known the rife was
not loaded when given the boy. By
using nail for trigger, the boy got
the hammer so it would snap. Young
Smith invited Codd to play soldier
with him. Pointing the rife at Codd
with the muzzle close to Codd's nose,
Smith said, Smell this" and then
snapped the hammer There was re-
port and the Codd boy fell to the floor
morta1ly wounded. The bullet en-
tered the nose and took an upward
course to the brain, where it was i'm
bedded. He died within fifteen min
utes
Following a coroner's inquest, young
Smith was arrested and taken to Osh-
kosh by the sheriff and District At
torney Mcdonald, where he is held on
a charge of murder The district at
torney said that the evidence shown
at the inquest was such as would lead
to the belief that young Smith was of
vicious nature, having previously
threatened to kill three or four people
with the same gun before he shot and
killed young Codd

MUST NOT SOLICIT
IN DRY TERRITORY
RULING ON WISCONSIN LIQUOR
LAW MADE BY ATTORNEY
GENERAL OWEN
FILLING OF ORDERS LEGAL
Order Direct to Dealer and With
out SoIicitation-Hoids Drug
qists Can Sell.

Madison.-It is unlawful for an
agent to solicit liquor orders within
dry territory, according to the opinion
of Attorney General Owen to District
Attorney Bogue, Columbia county. Mr..
Bogue asked whether a person at
Milwaukee or in Minnesota could ship
liquor into dry territory in Columbia
county, and whether breweries at
either place could establish distrib-
ritory.
The question whether a shipment
from Milwaukee into Columbia coun-
ty is lawful or unlawful depends upon
whether the individual made the or
der direct to the brewery in Milwau-
kee and whether the liquor was there
upon shipped direct to such purchas-
err says the opinion. If the sale was
obtained by an agent of the brewery
soliciting the order from the individ-
ual in dry territory, the sale would be
consummated within dry territory and
both the person who is securing the
order and the brewery will be Grim
inally liable for the unlawful sale Of
intoxicating liquors in a dry terri
tory"
That there is no law forbidding the
village board of any village to issue
a license to pharmacist to dispense
liquor for medical, scientific or me-
chanical purposes when the voters
have determined that no saloon IL
censes shall be issued, is held in an
opinion by Attorney General Owenw
to District Attorney Munson of Craw-
ford county

Witness at Court Martial Says Militia
men Were Shot at Before They
Began Assault on
Ludlow.

Denver, Colo, May ia resolution
calling upon Governor Ammons to re-
tire from Office was introduced in the
senate by Senator Robinson Thursday.
The resolution did not use the word
resign" but requested him ito retire

ernor, in spite of having supreme
executive power and full control Of
the military forces, has been unable
to preserve the peace, execute the
laws or protect the lives and prop
erty Of the citizens"
The resolution recites the cost from
public funds already, with the end
not in sight, and says concerning the
governor, THE strong animosity
against him and the doubt in the
minds of many people of his ability
to perform the duties Of his office
will make it very difficult, If not I'M
possible, for the governor to preserve
the peace, execute the laws or protect
the lives and property Of the citizens"
Senator Adams moved for an imme-
date consideration, but under the
rules the resolution went over at the
request of Senator Robinson.

been arranged, national, state and

miners will not respond to subpoenas

court-martial no win session near
Golden to try guard officers and pri-
Yates in connection with the destruc-
ton Of the strikers tent colony at
Ludlow, where nearly a score of men,
women and children lost their lives:
Labor leaders insist the officers in
charge of the court-martial are OBJ
sessed with militarism and that the
investigation is not being conducted
along impartial lines
The state militia fired directly into
the tents at Ludlow where two women
and II children were suffocated by
fire and smoke April 20, according to
the admission by First Lieut. Maurice
G. BigelOw, one of the chief witnesses

tial at Golden.
