NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Postmaster Will Remain in Charge of
the Office Until Such Time as Presi-
dent Wilson Names His Successor
May Wait For Months.

Robert Verne Baker completed his
service as postmaster of Kenosha I'M
der the commission issued to him by
President William Howard Taft at
midnight, Monday night when his COM
mission expired but he will remain in
charge of the Kenosha post Office I'M
til such time as his successor has
been named and has qualified. Post
master Baker was all ready on Mon
day TO make the transfer of the Of
fee to some good Democrat to be
named by President Wilson but the
"good Democrat failed to put in
an appearance and Mr.. Baker closed
and locked the Office as he had done
every night for four years and stuck
the key in his pocket. He has re-
ceived no word from Washington to
get ready to turn over the business of
Uncle Sam in Kenosha and he will
arrange his own personal business so as
to be able to keep house up at the
Federal building until such time as
the Democracy agrees upon man
that the President will appoint. The
retiring postmaster will return to the
practice of his legal profession when
he gives up the service of the gov
eminent and it is probable that he
may give considerable more time to
his practice than in the past now that
his commission as postmaster has ex-

is not going to bother Mr.. Baker to
any great extent and the business of
the Kenosha Office is so thoroughly
organized that it will make no diff
ference if the President waits a year
before he makes the new appointment.

FOUR Go TO GREEN BAY.
One of the Chicago Boys Charged With
Robbing Freight Cars Wins Parole.

John Albrecht, William Kropp, Ed
ward Allen, Steve Laseth and Albert
Beeson, the five Chicago young men ar
rested on last Saturday on charge OF
breaking into a car of the North
Western Railway Company at Balm
Station, filed into the municipal court
this morning and pleaded guilty to
formal charges Of burglary. All of
the quintette with the exception of.
Kropp were sentenced to terms Of a
year in the state reformatory at Green
Bay. Kropp is a married man and the
facts as brought out at the hearing in
dicated that he did not actually parti-
cipate in the burglary. It was shown
that he had never been arrested be-
fore and Judge Randall took chance
of suspending sentence on him and pa
rolling him. He is to report to the
court on the first day of each month
Albert Beeson, the boy who made the
confession, did not win any reduction
in sentence as when his record was ex-
amined it was found that he had been
parolled from an Illinois penal institu-
ton and the court held that under the
circumstances he was not entitled to a
second parole. Tt will probably be a
month before the four can be taken
to Green Bay as there is no room in
that institution for the reception of
prisoners at this time.

CANDIDATES MUST WATT.

Candidates who are just longing for
the Kenosha postofice, are going to
have to wait, for Senator Husting has
put it in black and white that he is
going to send a man to Kenosha to
investigate local conditions before he
makes any appointment. This may not
be his man Friday but some one
is coming and he will probably be here
the first of next week. One thing
seems certain and that is that the APP
pointment will not be made before the
expiration of the commission of Post
master R. V. Baker on next Tuesday.
The senator has not given any indica-
ton as to his choice in the matter but
all applications have been filed and it
is understood that all of them are still
being considered.

in connection with the passing of four
forged checks in Kenosha, were ar.
raigned before Judge Randell in the
municipal court late Monday after.
noon. Both entered pleas of "guilty"
to the charges against them. Grabo
wicz, who had served a term in one of
the state institutions, was given three
years in the state prison at Waupun
and Swiderskiz was sentenced to
term of two years. The latter was the
spokesman for the party in the NUM-
cipal court and he told the judge that
he had been led to take up the forg
ing of the checks on account of the
fact that he had been out of work fol
many months and needed the money.
Grabowicz made no statement to the
court when he came up for sentence
and was evidently prepared to "take
his medicine. The men were taken
to the state prison to begin their terms
this morning.

WANT FACTS ON COUNTY BOARD
Gov. Philip Seeks First Hand Advice
ON Interest Taken by People.

Governor E. L. Philip is seeking
first hand advice on the interest that
the people of Wisconsin are taking in
the county boards of education and to
this end he has sent letter to County
Clerk Jones asking that he be given
all the facts in regard to the recent
election Of a member of the county
board of education in this county. It
is supposed that the information sought
is to be used in connection with the
consideration Of several bills now
pending in the legislature which have
for their purpose the repeal of the
county board Of education law. In
Kenosha county there was but one
candidate for the Office Of members of
the board and he received only small
fraction of the vote east.

Officials of the Union Stock Yards

suggested deals will be closed up.

PARIS, Aug. 21.
French troops in the Argonne drove the
Germans from strong trench position
near st. Hubert by exploding a mine and
then rushing forward and occupying the
trench under hot enemy fire.
The War Office, in reporting this en-
gagement in this afternoons communique,
said the Germans made two feeble at
tempts against French positions at Frise,
on the Somme. and in Lorraine. Both at
tacks wer repulsed.
IAN intense cannonade occurred during
the night between the Disc and the Cham

Vosges."
The text of the communique follows:
There was a cannonade, which was
violent at all times, during tine night in
Artois, between the Disc and the Aisne,
In Champagne and in the Eosges.
THE conflict with mines continued in
the Argonne at Courtes Chaussees and
at St. Hubert, where we had occupied
and prepared the ground broken up by
an explosion.
Two feeble attacks by the enemy's In.
fantry, one at Frise, on the Somne, the
other In Lorraine at the forest of Parroy,
were both completely repulsed."
