If You See Bad Road
Just Tell Randall
Brown About Where

II you have tears prepare to shed
them now" said Marc Antony. with
Randall Brown II is different. for IL he
has pick ard shovel he must prepare

Commercial club member is to report
bad roads, chuck holes. mud and broken
pavements anywhere in Douglas county
TO Randall Brown. 1t is said that In an
tieipation of this flood of complaints,
Brown is considering secretly having his
telephone number changed

SELLS ADULTERATED
 MILK AND IS FINED
Samuel Renier of Cherry Street Pays Fine of $14 and
 Costs.

Samuel Renier who has been in business at 50 Cherry street for the past four months was arraigned be- fore Judge John H. Kirkham in po- lice court this morning, charged on two counts with selling watered milk. Milk and Food Inspector Burdette Radcliffe made the complaint, this being his first arrest for such a vio- lation of the law. Renier was fined $14 and costs.
 Lawyer Frederick B. Hungerford appeared for the accused and enter ed a plea of nolo condere. Renier insisted that he buys his milk from J.. Bayer and knows nothing about it being adulterated.
 Frank Kitson, who told the judge that he lives at 10 West street but who told the policeman that he has no home and sleeps in Shapiro's barn, was arrested by Officer Walter Ma Iona on Stanley street at 12:3o o'clock this morning. The man was drunk and was in such a helpless con- dition that had he not been arrested he would undoubtedly have frozen to death. He was sent to jail for twenty days.

AsQU|7H TO RUSH
 COMPULSION BILL
British Government Hopes to Pass
 Measure in Two Weeks

London. Dec. 3l.-An audience which Premier Asquith had with the King yesterday gave rise to reports of actual cabinet resignations. 1t is stated, however, on the best of au- thority that this was not the case, and that Premier Asquith saw the King with reference to the general situation and the New Years honors.
 It was announced last evening that Premier Asquith would introduce in the House of Commons next Wednes- day, a bill dealing with compulsion. The draft committee of the cabinet, which is said to include Sir John Simon, engaged in preparing the pro- posed bill, is reported to have rejected two or three drafts already, but to have virtually settled on the method, which will make the Derby scheme statutory and only for the duration of the war. The men who have not at- tested will be ordered to enroll them selves within a given period of fort night or three weeks.
 Government Confident.
 It is said that the government is confident of it's ability to pass the bill through all stages in a fortnight; that is, several days before Parlia- ment would die natural death but for the bill prolonging its life. This bill has still to run the gauntlet of its final stages, and if obstructive tac- tics should be adopted with regard to the compulsory recruiting measure, it might still be possible for the minis ters to resort to general election as an exit from a difficult situation.
 This, however, is not regarded as probable. In fact, the feeling in political quarters last night was more confident than ever that the crisis will entail no resignations of importance. The fact that the King returned to Sondringham last night seems to con firm this view.
 Supporters Among Laborites.
 There are indications that Premier Aequith will find many supporters of laborites. An official report of yes- terday's conference says:
 'The details of Lord Derby's re- port were submitted at the meeting together with a general outline of the cabinets proposals for bill to meet the situation. The number of men of military, age who remain unattested, took the conference by surprise, and they were no less surprised by MT. Henderson's description of the methods by which the government proposes to apply compulsion to these.
 "So frank was the information vouchsafed by MT. Henderson that practical unanimity was shown by those at the conference"

NEW CASES UNDER
 COMPENSATION ACT
Recompensc Allowed For Deaths From SunstrolSe and Heat
 Exhaustion.

Hartford Dec. 31.-The first cases of sunstroke and heat exhaustion de- cided under the Connecticut work mems compensation act are found in three decisions filed in the superior court today by Commissioner George B. Chandler. Mrs. Anna N. McGarva, the death of whose husband was due to sunstro oke, is awarded s10 a week for 312 weeks. McGarva was a brick mason and was in the blazing sun most of the day fronting" a white brick wall which reflected the heat.
 Mrs Tela Wajtenick is awarded s6.75 a week for the same period. Her husband was a foundry man and died of heat exhaustion.
 Compensation is refused in the claim of Mrs. Angelina Jaskulka, whose husband was a ship carpenter and was at work in the hold of a barge. Heat exhaustion was alleged, but the commissioner did not find that the heat was excessive in condi- tions under which the man worked.
