City Official Writes The Leader Saying

ASKS THAT LAW BE ENFORCED

A correspondent, who, by the way,
is city official, and a personal friend
of Mayor Mulberger and Police Com
Dent, and who is also we'll
acquainted with Police Chief Block,
writes THE LEADER regarding the
action of those gentlemen in lowering
the age limit of boys entering pool
halls and bowling alleys, and init
mates strongly that these gentlemen
are endeavoring to place themselves
in the position of being larger than the
state of Wisconsin in that they repeal
the state laws for Watertown and
create an Interpretation to suit their
own private whims.
The city officials letter follows:
Watertown, Wis, May II, 1916.
To Editor of the Daily Leader
In your last evenings issue of the
Daily Leader | noticed an article that
minors may play pool, billiards or
bowling in this city, while the statutes
of this state say NO
And in reading the article l wonder
ed if Mayor Mulberger, Chief of Police
Block and Police Commissioner Robert
Dent were larger than the State of
Wisconsin and it's statutes, and if so

HON, ". ". REED
DIED At JEFFERSON
4 PIONEER PHYSICIAN OF THE
STATE WHO ADVOCATED
ADVANCED PRACTICES.
IN THE LEGISLATURE IL YEARS
Was the Author Of Many Excellent
Laws Which Affected the States
Institutions.
two DAUGHTERS SURVIVORS

jefferson, May 10.-Special to THE
LEADER-Hon. William w. Reed, a
pioneer physician, not only of this
county, but of the entire state, died
at his home in this city at 200 o'clock
this afternoon.
Dr. Reed has been in failing health
for some time, and had been uncon-
scious for the past three weeks, arous-
ing at intervals when food could be
administered, but even in those NOM
ents he did not recognize those at his
bedside.
When it is taken into consideration
that the doctor was past 81 years of
age, his hold on life was most remark
able.

from Europe. This branch, added to
farm an ideal stock farm, which neces-
STATED his visiting European countries
IN pursuit of the best breeding stock
available This naturally broadened
his mind along the agricultural and
| live stock lines and he became more
and more familiar with the care and
treatment of farm animals.
While boy of Is years, he ex-
pressed his desire to become veterin-
arian that he might learn how to re-
| lieve dumb animals from their all
ments, but as he could not be spared
was necessarily deferred until he
became of age and could plan his own
future.
In 1891, when the horse market was
at its lowest ebb and business in this
line became dull, he concluded to make
use of his time by taking up the
study of veterinary science With
this end in view he visited the vari-
Gus European veterinary colleges to
| determine which one would be the
most desirable for an American to at
| tend. Comparing them with the Ameri-
can colleges, he concluded to take up
his studies at Chicago, it being the
live stock market, where subjects of
every description could be obtained
upon which to study
In March of 1905 he completed
his studies and began to practice his
profession at Watertown, opening ar
Office at 211 Market street, and re-
NAMED in that location until May,
1897, when he moved to 900 Main
street, and in 1907 he established
his Office on Fifth street, his
present location, and where he has
just completed his twenty-frst year
in successful practice and coming in
daily contact with the farmers of
Dodge, Jefferson, Dane and Waukesha
counties.
At the same time that the doctor
started his practice on Market street
he established a hospital near the
North Western station, and it quite
probable that the cramped quarters
there were the factor which induced
him to go to Fifth street, where he
could not only have his hospital and
Office in close touch, but where he
could also have more room for the
accommodation of his increasing prac-
tice and fit up, as he did, the most
elaborate operating room for surgery
in this part of Wisconsin.
In the twenty-one years of the doc
tors practice here he has not de-
voted his time exclusively to his pro-
fession, but has found time to engage
in other activities, the most promin-
ent, possibly, being politics, and has
been honored both by election by
popular vote and by appointment.
He was alderman from the Second
ward for six years-three terms.
He was deputy oil inspector two
years.
He was a game warden two years.
He was state veterinarian from July
1,1911, to January 1, 1912.
He is now Senator La Follette's
political manager for the Second con-
gressional district.
Besides his political activities he
has welded the editorial pen, at one
time being editor of the veterinary
department Of Hoard's Dairyma1, and
later publishing for number of years
The Farmers Veterinary Advisor.
All in all, Dr. A H. Hartwig has
been an active citizen and enjoys a
wide acquaintance, not only in this
community, but throughout the state.

Carranza's communication was

not entirely mapped out what course
they would pursue in dealing with

There are few officials who do not

American troops entirely out of Mex
leo, most of the militia, if not all, back
home, and the border under the pro
lection of a strong force of regular
soldiers. This military movement
will be fastened by evidence Of de
