Rural Delivery of Mail to be
Extended Throughout the
Entire Country Soon.
P0sTMlsTERs TO REPORT NOW

Extension of the rural delivery serv-
ice in connection with the postoffice de-
partment is announced in a formal or
der just sent out from Washington,
copies of which have been received in
Kenosha. No new routes have as yet
been ordered cut of Kenosha but it is
understood that reports are now being
made up and it is probable that there
will be readjustments of the service in
this county so as to make the service
more efficient and more satisfactory.
In connection with the rural service
the postmaster general makes the fol-
lowing statement:
" Every petition pending in the post
Office department for the establishment
of rural delivery service has now been
approved by the postmaster general.
Orders have been issued which will put
all this new service into operation dur
ing the present fiscal year.
Extension of Delivery.
g As the next step toward the expan-
sion of the postal service on terms of
equality throughout the United States,
the postmaster general has directed his
fourth assistant, who has charge of
rural delivery service, to provide for
the extension of delivery to all patrons
reasonably entitled to it, regardless of
whether or not petition for the serv-
ice is on file in the department.
"This introduces new policy in the
administration of postal affairs. The
department therefore will move for the
extension of postal facilities and not
wait for requests therefor. Investiga-
tion will be made to ascertain the To-
calities where necessity justifes the es-
tablishment Of new routes or the ex-
tension Of old ones.
''To this end postmasters, in local.
ties where it appears that present serv-
ice is not adequate will be instructed
to make detailed reports to the post
master as to whether the establishment
of new rural routes in their vicinity
would not be desirable.
Postmasters Will Report.
Tin fine, these postmasters will be
expected to furnish the department.
with information as to how the exist
ing service can be enlarged to meet the
requirements of all prospective patrons.
During the period from April 1 to
May S, 1915, readjustment of the rural
service reduced operating expenses
$292,052. This sum has been utilized
in the establishment of 439 new routes,
serving approximately 254, 435 addition
al persons. From May to May 5, a
reduction in operating expenses of
$120,408 resulted, This sum was util-
lied to establish 176 new routes, serv-
ing approximately 99,230 additional
persons"

GRANTS USE OF THE STREETS
Committee With Assurance Of Backing
of the City Feels Certain That All
Plans For the Big Gathering Will be
Carried Out.
1zmzzxnzzsszznuaAaBm

The Home Coming celebration in
Kenosha, beginning on June 22nd, is
to have the full sanction of the NUM-
cipality for at the meeting of the com
mon council on Monday evening the
council by a unanimous vote gave its
sanction to the plans of the Kenosha
Retailer s Association. It went furth-
er for an appropriation of $500 from
the general funds of the city was made
to aid in paying the expenses of the
four days celebration. Members of
the council appeared to be enthusiastic
over the plans that have been made to
entertain the former residents Of the
city at the big festivities and nearly
every suggestion for assistance on the
part of the city was unanimously pass
ed. The city gave to the committee in
charge of the Home Coming the right
to place decorations on the street, the
right of selling concessions was also
given and the city gave permission for
the members of the fire department to
stage fire run FOR the benefit of the
Home Coming. Permission was given
to the committee to hold public dances
on the streets and to use the parks Of
the city for band concerts and for pub
lie gatherings.
The only thing that the council OBJ
jected to was the proposed appearance
of the police force of the city in the
parade which is to be held on one of
the days. of the celebration. The al
dermen held that if there was to be a
crowd in the city that the police ofic-
ers should be on duty to see to it that
the pockets of the Home Coming Ke-
noshans were not picked and that for
this reason no considerable number Of
the members of the force should march
IN the parade. The question of police
officers to lead the parade was finally
referred to the chief of police and he
was instructed to use his own judy
ment in the matter.
With the assurance Of generous fnan-
cial aid from the city the plans of the
committee are to be carried out with
out change and the committee is now
busy placing its contracts for decorat-
ing the streets of the city and for mu-
sic to play during the three days. The
decorations will be the most elaborate
ever arranged for any celebration in
Kenosha. The work will be in the
hands of experts. In addition to the
decorations planned by the members
of the committee, assurance has been
given that nearly every one of the
business men of the city will do his
part to put the city into holiday attire
for the Home Coming.
Committees in charge of the various
features of the big celebration are now
fully organized. The committee in
charge of the invitations is receiving
scores of replies to letters sent to diff
ferent parts of the country. Many Of
these come from men and women who
were formerly prominent in the city
and they breathe message of frater-
nal greeting and give assurance that
these people will be in Kenosha for the
full four days of the Home Coming and
that they will personally see to it that
other former Kenoshans are invited.

JUST RETURNED FROM A PARTY
Body Is Recovered Within Half Hour
After it Had Gone Into the Water
and Pulmotor Is Used in Vain Eff
fort to Save His Life.
(From Saturdays Daily


George Werner, aged 20 years, son
of Mr.. and Mrs Ernest Werner Of the
town of Bristol and for several years
working as a machinist in Kenosha, was
drowned in the waters of the Kenosha
harbor at an early hour this morning
when he is supposed to have fallen
from the deck Of the yacht Pathfinder,
which was moored to the Morgan docks
The body was recovered half hour
after Werner had fallen into the wa
ter through the efforts of Captain Bar
bour and other members Of the crew of
the yacht. The pulmotor was brought
into service and for nearly an hour
friends of Werner worked over him in
an effort to restore life, but these eff
forts failed and the body was removed
to the Hansen morgue.
Coroner III. c. MilIager is making an
investigation into the drowning Of
Werner this afternoon and as yet no
announcement has been made of the
time of the funeral.
Werner was we'll known in Kehosha
and his tragic death brought a profound
sensation. He was formerly employed
in the bicycle repair department. of the
store of w, II. Robinson, but for some
weeks he had been employed on the
yacht,
The details of the drowning Of Wern-
er will probably be shrouded in mystery
nc hn oil tho -
Pathfinder when he fell into the water
He had come aboard the yacht only a
few minutes before. During the early
hours Of the morning he had attended
a dancing party at Schlitz hall and
he had been one Of the merriest mem
bers Of the party. He had gone to the
party with other members of the crew
of the Pathfinder and just after two
0 CLOCK the members of the party had
left the hall and had walked to the
yacht, only short distance away.
Werner and the other men had gone
TO their hunks and Werner had I'M
dressed to retire for the night. The
other men were undressing when Wern-
Ell strolled up to the deck of the
yacht. One of the men followed him
and got to the deck just in time to
hear great splashing in the water.
He called for assistance and Captain
Barbour, who was asleep at the club
house, was called to the yacht. With
the aid of pike poles the men began
to search for the body of Werner and
their search was rewarded in few
minutes.
When the body Of Werner was taken
from the water it was noticed that he
had bad wound on his head, but it
Is thought that this was caused by his
striking the rail of the yacht when he
fell into the water.
Before the body was taken from the
water a call had been sent to the po-
lice department and officers went, TAX
ing the pulmotor with them in antici-
patton of the finding of the body. No
time was lost in getting action with
the pulmotor, but it is thought that
Werner had taken so much of the water
of the harbor into his mouth and into
his lungs that it was impossible for the
pulmotor to restore life.
The parents of the unfortunate man
came to Kenosha from Bristol this
morning and are aiding in the investi-
cation of the drowning of their son.
