to furnishing officers service records in
the case Of courtmartial proceedings, and
these frequently are furnished, but the
procedure must not put the department
force to extra trouble. II an accused Of
1cer should desire a copy of his service
record. he Is permitted to inspect the
original and have a copy made. But this
must be done at the expense of the Of
f1cer, for the press of public business and
the limited number OF clerks available
for the work does not warrant the de-
partment in detailing a clerk for the sole
purpose of handling such matters during
office hours.
In response to the request that National
Guard organizations inform the War De-
partment as to whether they will be able
to maintain horses for their field artiI-
lery. cavalry. and Signal Corps units,
should they be assigned to them, reports
have been received from all the States
except Kentucky, Michigan, and Penn
sylvania
AS a result. orders have been issued
by the War Department authorizing the
assignment Of 6475 horses to various
militia organizations. At the time the
National Guardsmen were called into the
Federal service approximately 10000
horses were purchased. The plan for dis
trbution of horses among the militia or
ganizatiOns was suggested as a means of
dispOsing Of these animals after they
Lave served their purpose on the border
II will be necessary early in December
for the War Department to ask Congress
for an appropriation TO provide for the
foraGing Of these animals 1t Is believed
that fully $4,000 will be required, and
an additional $500 900 will be needed for
compensation OF those employed to care
for them. The total amount needed to
cover these two items may possibly ap-
proach N,000,O0O. The expenditures are
authorized by section of the national
defense act.
Work soon will be started on extensive
construction at the Watervliet Arsenal,
Congress having appropriated a sum for
the improvements. The central section
Of the large gun shop will be rebuilt; the
south end and west side OF the large gun

narrowly escaped being seriously in
jured or killed at the corner of Grand
avenue and Seventeenth street, about
FIVE clock Saturday afternoon, in a
collision with a Milwaukee, Racine

Mr.. Veins came up from Kenosha on
his double motorcycle and invited Mr..

were going north on Grand avenue and
failed to see the street car running
east on Seventeenth street.
It was too late to stop when the car
was seen and the motorcycle crashed
into the rear step of the street car,
damaging it considerably, and the
motorcycle was put out of commission
Both riders were thrown off, but
luckily escaped with slight injuries.
The owner of the machine called at
the office of the street railway company

MUST CHANGE LOCAL NOTICE
Attorney General Declares That There
Is an Epidemic of Road Bond Propo-
sitions in wisconsin at the Present
Time County Must Act Soon.

City Attorney John G. Slater, who is
acting in the role of attorney for the
town boards of Somers and Pleasant
Prairie in connection with the election
to vote on bond issues for road work,
this morning received letter from the
Wisconsin state highway commission.
There was enclosed lengthy opinion
from the attorney general, dealing
with the question Of road bonds.
The letter from the commission sug-
gests the correction of notices for the
bond election in order that they may
conform in every way with the opinion
Of the attorney general. The attorney
general in his opinion declares that
many counties in the state are now
figuring on the issuance of road bonds
in order to get highway work com
pleted in the shortest possible time.
He asserts that the counties may issue

than double this number Of men and
women of Kenosha county The
Chamber of Commerce is going to
work for everything which advances
Kenosha and the surrounding territory
and for this reason it is expected that
membership in it will appeal to many
men who may live in the county outside
the corporate limits of the city.
With the charter issued by the state
before the middle Of next week it is
thought that the formal plans for or
ganization will be worked out by the
middle of June and that the association
will be formally launched by the first
Of July. 1t has been suggested that
the Fourth of July would be an excel
lent night to hold the first meeting Of
the Chamber of Commerce.
Full announcement Of the plans fol
organization will be made by Chair
man Goodman just as soon as the
charter is secured.

The Wisconsin militia ranks

continued Its efficiency is recogniz
ed by military authorities In many
ways It is far ahead of other states
This is due in a great measure to the
fact that it has for years been pre-
pairing for just the condition that now
confronts the nation
Colonel Piasecki is Of the opinion
that the compensation feature of the
Hay-Chamberlain act will induce many
men to apply for service in the state
guard who formerly were ayerse t.
taking the step. Under the present
system members of the guard serve
without pay. The only compensation
they receive is while at Camp Douglas
and during active service.

LEADING men INCORPORATE
z. G. Simmons, James Cavanagh, w. Fl
Robinson, DR.. +. E. Kaltenbach and
DR.. George F. Adams Are Men Who
Are To BE Leaders in Incorporation.

Articles of incorporation for the
Kenosha Chamber of Commerce will be
sent to the secretary of state at Madi-
son before the end of the present week.
They are now being drawn by Attor-
ney A. E. Buckmaster and the commit
tee on incorporation named by Charles
III Goodman, chairman of the commit
tee on organization, is composed Of 2.
G Simmons, representing the Kenosha
Manufacturer associations; w. I'll.
Robinson, of the Kenosha Retailer IS
association; James Cavanagh, of the
Kenosha County Bar association; DR..
l.. j. Kaltenbach, Of the Kenosha
County Dental society; Or. George F.
Adams of the Kenosha County Medical
society, and Russell Fl. Jones, repre-
senting the Kenosha Automobile club.
These six men will act as the
fncorporators of the organization.
The final draft of the articles Of
incorporation has not been made,
but it is expected that no capital
stock will be provided for. It has been
suggested that the Chamber Of Com
merce have 6 charter which will pro
vide for nominal capital stock, but
with the understanding that the stock
is never to have any dividends paid
on it and that all money realized by
the corporation is to be expended for
the advancement Of the city Of
Kenosha
The state charter will give the or
ganization wide powers. 1t will have
power to own property and to conduct
various movements for the betterment
of the city. City improvement will be
emphasized in the provisions for the
new corporation. The charter will be
modelled along lines which have work
ed out successfully in other cities of
Wisconsin and it will meet with all of
the provisions of the Wisconsin laws
relating to such organizations,
Chairman Goodman of the commit
tee is hopeful that the charter will be
in his hands within another week and
as soon as the formal incorporation is
completed new meetings will be called
TO complete the work of organization.
There is going to be call for volun-
teers for this work and it is expected
that at least hundred of The well
known business men of the city will
consent to serve on the committee to
secure memberships and pledges Of
support.
The men who have been active in
the promotion of the Chamber of Com
merce believe that it should start with
no less than a thousand members in
Kenosha and they are hopeful to ulti-
mately include in its membership more

such bonds SO long as they follow the
strict wording of the law IN regard to
the elections and the passage Of reso-
lutions. The letter from the highway
commission to Attorney Slater is
as follows:
May 10th, 1916.
J. G. Slater, City Attorney,
Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Dear Sir
Enclosed please find copy of the at
torney generals recent decision in re-
gard to methods to be used in vot-
ing bonds.
Personally, I believe that the best
way to adjust the action so far taken
to the opinion of the attorney general
is to add to the notices already up, the
fact that the polls will be open all day,
giving the hours, and stating that the
vote will be by ballot.
In the meantime the town boards
could adopt the resolution providing
for the issuance of the bonds, the rate
Of interest, denominations, and time of
payment, together. with the necessary
tax levies to pay the principal and in
terest minus contributions received.
In order to pass these resolutions it
will be necessary to estimate very ap-
proximately the cost of the construe-
ton contemplated in each town This
estimate can well be made by Mr.. Her
zog and the town board after it has
been decided what widths will be built
After the entire cost is estimated
I think the best assumption that car
then be made is that the anticipated
states share of the cost during the ten
years will be $3.50 of the total cost
This will leave $500 Of the cost to be
covered BY each of the towns and the
county, and the amount Of bonds is
sued by each and the supplementary
bonds issued in the name of the state
would be in this proportion.
It might be well to state in the reso
luton that the adoption of this reso
luton by the town electors will be null
and void unless the county board o.
Kenosha county, before January l
1917, shall bond in an amount equa
to the amounts of the bonds ISSUED
by the towns.
Yours very sincerely,
Wisconsin Highway Commission,

State Highway Engineer

courts of Kenosha county. There al
ways has to be first defendant for
the enforcement of any law and the
distinction OF being the first defendant
in case where catching crawfsh out
of season was charged, fell to the lot
Of William Boehnke. He was arrested
by Deputy Game Warden Emil Fox on

which Boehnke was charged was COM
mitted out on the banks of Balm
Creek. The defendant admitted that
he caught the crawfsh and declared
his ignorance of the law protecting
them from being caught in certain sea-
sons of the year The law provided i
minimum fine of ten dollars and the
costs and it was paid by Boehnke
He volunteered his opinion that all the
craw dads in Kenosha county were not
worth the amount of the fine, to say
nothing of the costs.
