Man and Woman Get Away With Tray

Valued at $500.

the most daring Wisconsin jewel rob-
berry in years were made public here
by the police. The store of Thomas J..
Dale was entered by a thief who man
aged to get away with diamonds to the
value of $500.
Raymond Stark, employed as watch
maker, was alone in the store at the

fashionably dressed woman and asked
to look at cut glass, and Stark took
them to the rear part of the store

vase and made a deposit on 1t, giving
the name OF II, Morgan" and an ad-
dress in Kenosha Five hours after

WORK TO Be SLACK
IN NORTH WOODS
CURTAllMENT IN LOGGING OP-
CREATIONS AND SLACK DE-
MAND IS CAUSE.
BOOM HOME GROWN PRODUCT
Estimated That 4s7S5o,Ooo Feet of
Logs Will Be Cut as Against
545,782, 900 in
1914.

OshkOsh.-Present indications are
that logging operations for the coming
winter will be curtailed to an extent
that only about 4S7, $4,000 feet of logs
will be cut against 545, $4,000 feet cut
last year. That means a decrease of
about 100000 feet for the season of
1915-1916 as compared with the preced-
ing winter
The chief reason assigned is slack
demand for all kinds of lumber. The
large amount of western and southern
lumber being used in the state also
"puts crimp' into the industry.
The announcement that logging is to
be curtailed means much to labor of
Wisconsin and Northern Michigan. At
a recent hearing before the federal
trade commission testimony was given
by one of the leading lumbermen to
the effect that the reduction in output
last year meant an average reduction
OF wages in the woods of Is per cent.
He said: 81 think 1t is fair to conclude
that the labor in our section has suf-
fered loss OF SO thousand on 223,-
100000 feet in work which they have
not had"
1t Is to offset such conditions and to
remedy the evils, by giving employ
ment to as large numbers of men as
formerly, that campaign for more
extensive use of home grown woods
has been inaugurated.

infant MORTALITY
IS FIFTH OF TOTAL
STATE BOARD OF HEALTH DE-
cLAREs 70 PER CENT OF 1T
is PREVENTABLE.
DEATHS AVERAGE IS DAILY
Thousands Succumb at Early Age
Due to the Conditions Surround
ing the First Year
of Life.

Madison. At least 20 per cent of in
FAINT mortality is preventable, declares
a statement issued by the state board
of health
Every day in the year an average
OF l42 babies are born in Wisconsin,
it says. The deaths among children
under one year of age average fifteen
per day. This gives a death rate for
children under one year of age of 1916
for each 1000 children born, while the
average annual death rate for the en-
tire population, including persons of
all ages, does not exceed twelve per
1000
In 1910, 20.4 per cent of the chill
dren born in the state died before they
were one year old: in 1911, 101 per
cent; in 1912. 9,3 per cent. In 1912,
lS.S per cent of the total number Of
deaths were of children under one
year Deaths among children one year
OF age evidently constitute about one
fifth of all the deaths recorded. This
Is not as low as the rate of one-sixth
In some states or as high as the maxi
mum of about one-fourth in other
states
Not all of the poorly nourished dis
eased children die during the first
year of life, but thousands of them
succumb at an early age from condi-
lions directly traceable to the first
year of life

Madison.-The state of Wisconsin,

This is the joint opinion of j. A.
Hazelwood, chairman, and A. r. Hirst,
chief engineer. of the state highway

Brown county voted bond issue of

the people at the April election In
Jefferson county there is agitation for
a 100000 bond issue. In Oneida they

NO CAR SHORTAGE IN STATE
But Two Complaints Have Been Re.
ceived by Railroad Commission
This Fall.

Madison.-Wisconsin has no car
shortage problem, according to the
railroad commission of Wisconsin.
They declare they have had but two
complaints of shortage of cars this
fall. When the railroad commission
was organized the car shortage evil
was one of the greatest problems. The
commission used two or three hours
each day handling these complaints.
Delays on passenger trains are be-
ing rapidly eliminated, says the report
of the commission on the passenger
train delays. One year ago trains
were late on an average of as minutes
for July, compared with 2.6 this year.
Just "a per cent of the trains in the
state operating in July were late.

Vienna (via Berlin and Sayville) =,
Nov. 16.-The Austro-Hungarian ad-
miralty on Sunday issued the following
statement:
The foreign press is spreading false
reports regarding the sinking Of the
Ancona. The incident occurred as fol-
lows:
Our submarine fired one shot before
steamer fled at full speed in compli-
ance with orders from the Italian au-
thorities, which states that ships shall
flee or sink the submarine.
The submarine pursued the steamer
and continued firing The steamer
stopped only after 1t had been hit sew
eral times. The submarine then al
lowed the passengers and crew As min
utes in which to abandon the steamer,
on which panic reigned. However,
only the small boats were lowered and
these were occupied principally by the
crew. A great number of boats-prob-
ably sufficient to have saved all the
ssengers-remained unoccupied.
After fifty minutes tho submarine,
on the approach of another steamer,
submerged and torpedoed the Ancona,
which sank after as minutes.
IL any passengers lost their lives
this was the fault of the crew, because
the steamer tried to escape when 1t
was ordered to stop, and even then the
crew only saved themselves, leaving
the passengers.
Foreign press reports that the sub
marine fired on the lifeboats are in
ventions. When the steamer stopped
the submarine ceased firing.

were being lowered and 100 passen-
gers were still on board.
