easy victims for other diseases.
Black measles is the malignant
type of the disease and is fatal. The
blacfish color is due to hemorrhages in
the skin The early symptoms of
measles are the same as those attending
t2e .onset of a severe cold, and the con-
tagion is thought to be present in the
particles of mueus in the secretions of
the mouth and nose.
1t is very contagious before erup-
ton appears and this is one reason why
SO many children and some grown peo-
pie contract this disease who are not
aware of the fact that they have ever
been exposed to the disease at all, so
beware of the child with a feverish
cold, sneezing, running at the nose,
cough, and red, watery eyes.
Carelessness is unquesticnably the
greatest cause for the spread of conta-
gion, and this sometimes reaches a
point which is nothing short Of crime,
but it will not cease to exist until the
people demand that everybody CON
oerned takes every precaution possible.
Most contagion is an offspring of dirt,
relative Of disease, and chum of
death.
''It springs from neglect and is a
result of excuses. 1t jumps at the chill
dren as do all towards, and adds to
their burden of environment and
heredity, by weakening resistance, and
nearly always leaves its mark. It may
be weakened heart, MANNED muscle
or a ner Gus condition etc, and though
not visible at once, it will later in life
become apparent, at which time it may
be too late to effectively apply a
remedy
And since it is the children who
suffer most from contagious diseases, it
certainly behooves the adult population
to render these innocent, helpless chill
dren who are to be our future citizens

earthly existence which since they are
here they are certainly entitled to-

GIVEN DAYS OF GRACE TO ACT
Formal Notice Given by Secretary of
State That Companies Are Delinquent
But they May Pay Penalties of Law
and Retain Charters Still.

Officials of corporations in Kenosha,
that is some of them, have been so
busy counting up the profits Of pros
perity that they have failed to file
with the state the annual report as
demanded by the law and on Tuesday
afternoon Register of Deeds 2. G. Tor
rev received from Secretary Of State
Joseph S. Donald, list of the Keno

nosha Realty Company, Kenosha;
MacComber and Whyte Rope Company
of Wisconsin, of Kenosha; New York

MAYGOBACK TOJOL|ET PRISON
Officers Notify Warden of Prison Of
Release of Hartzell and Prison offic-
ials Are Seeking Him - Wife
Fights for His Release Now.

John G. Hartzell, charged with the
burglary of the Offices of Or. Russia
koy in the Epstein building on the
night of March Sth, was acquitted by
a jury in the circuit court on Tuesday
afternoon, the jury taking less than
forty-fve minutes to consider the evil
dence which had been presented in the
case and but three ballots to decide
upon their verdict. Hartzell was TAX
en- back to the county Jail after the
Z" not guilty" verdict was returned as
the sheriff has warrant charging that
he violated the parole by which he had
been released from the Illinois state
prison at Joliet. kilograms were sent
to Warden Michael thinner, notifying
him of the outcome Of the trial and
directing that he send men to Kenosha
for Hartzell at once. In the meantime
the wife of Hartzell has begun fight
in Chicago to secure his release, hold
ing that the fact that he was found
not guilty here removed any sugges-
ton of his violation of parole. Chica-
60 officials seem to be DESTROYS of hav-
ing Hartzell held and they are max
ing an effort to have him returned
to the Joliet prison to serve out the
remainder of his term.
The case which promised to be
long one came to a sudden ending on
Ffese}st att NJ state rested
its case and INC attorney for the de-
PENDANT moved for his discharge on the
grounds that the evidence did not sup
port the charges made in the informa-
ton. Judge Belden held that the case
must 60 to the jury and Hartzell took
the stand in his own defense. In his
testimony he declared that he had not
been in Kenosha on the night of the
alleged burglary but that he had been
in Chicago. No evidence was brought
in support Of The alibi
The only other testimony introduced
by the defense was a deposition mado
by Jsiler Fred Jacobus of the Cook
county jail, in which he declared that
the Kenosha men who had gone TO Chi
cage to identify Hartzell as the man
they had seen in Kenosha with the
violin on the morning after the rob
berry, had asserted on leaving the
Jail that HartzelI was not the man they
had seen in Kenosha.
Chief of Police Owen O'Hare declar-
ed on the stand that he had instructed
the witnesses when they went to Chita-
go to make no statement as to wheth-
er or not they identified Hartzen.
The jury from the first favored the
release of Hartzell and it is said that
on the first ballot large majority
of the members voted for "not
guilty" verdict
Men who have been connected with
the trial of Hartzen scott at the idea
that he had any part in or any knowl-
edge of the Art Institute robbery in
Chicago. They assert that this was
simply a suspicion on the part of
Chicago detectives and that on account
Of the suspicion they had sought to
hound HartzelI. Tt is expected that
the prisoner viii be taken back to
Chicago some time today and that thu
battle to have him restored to the pa
role list viii be fought out there.

Contagion Is Offspring of Dirt,

Cooperation.

Those who have been calming their
fears in the face of the on-march Of
Kenosha's measles epidemic with the
thought that the disease does not
amount to much, anyway, need only to

Herbert L. Wright, commissioner of
health for KenosLa to come to better

aspect of the condition in which the
city finds itself
"Of al the communicable diseases,
measles is the easiest to catch,'' said
the commissioner in response to ques-
ticns concerning measles. H'It is alarm
ing among infants, it scores many
needless deaths and is often spread by
careless persons failing to observe
quarantine regulations, and by cases
that are never reported and which are
consequently never under quarantine at
all.
3'Ninety-fve out Of every hundred
deaths from measles are among children
under five years of age. Many of the
deaths recorded as resulting from bron-
che pneumonia, are in reality due to
measles, as the child would (more than
likely never have developed pneumo-

PROCLAIMs FLAG DAY.

From the office of Gov. Phil
lipp was issued proclamation
designating Wednesday, June
IA, as flag day, and recon-
mending that the national col
ors be generally displayed on
that day and special exercises
and ceremonies be held in publid
and private schools and such
honors accorded the flag as
the patriotic spirit of the peo-
pie Of the state may prompt,
The proclamation is as follows:
On the fourteenth day of
June, 1776, congress en-
acted the law adopting the
stars and stripes as the ban
ner Of new nation. In re-
cent years there has been
a growing sentiment among
the people toward giving
this day patriotic observ-
ance. 1t has become a time
for the general display of
the flag and for the grow
ing generation in it's history
and meaning.
The flag of our country
is the simplest and most
beautiful expression of a ma
tional ideal. Its red and
white bars, representing the
beginning Of our history,
are fixed in number; but
that part which is called the
union, with it's shining con-
stellation on field of blue,
has always had room for
another star. The flag,
like the nation, stands for
the idea Of growth and
solidarity 1t is the flag of
a country destined to grow,
to take unto itself new
seekers of liberty from al
parts of the world, and not
to become weak and dis
united as it grows. AS our
national motto is cone out
of many" SO our national
motto, by a beautiful sym,
boil, expresses the same idea.
At the time it was adopt
ed the nation for which it
stood did not exist except
in the hopes and determine
tions of a people. 1t stood
for an idea. Out of that
idea, which found express
sion in this inspiring form,
nation was yet to be born.
To keep this idea be-
fore us today, to under
stand it and feel its in
spiration, is as important
as ever 1t was. We can not
go forward as nation and
work out our destiny as a
free people except by the
power of that ideal which
has guided us in the past.
Being such an emblem as
it is, and of all flags the
most significant and the
most beautiful, it is well
for us to fling it to the
breeze upon its birthday and
pause to give consideration
to its meaning.
Therefore, I, Emanuel II.
Philip, governor Of the
state of Wisconsin, in con
formity with custom and a
proclamation issued by the
president of the United
States Of America, hereby
designate and proclaim
Wednesday, June IA, A. D.
1916, Flag day, and recon-
mend that on that day there
be a general display Of the
flag, special exercises and
ceremonies in schools, public
and private, and such hon
ors to the flag as the patri-
otto spirit of our people
may prompt.
The proclamation was signed
by Gov. Philip before he went
to Milwaukee hospital to be
operated on for appendicitis, but
it was not issued until Monday.

The Alaska daily empire., 1916-10-07

Mir. Houston: Why could they not go to the same extent that the Ter ritories of New Mexico, Arizona and others went to?
 Wickersham: For the simple req son that these big interests up there do not want to be taxed for the sup port of government there.
 Houston: That is not the ques- ton. The question is What Is right?
 YOUNG: It is not a question of what any particular interests want; 1t is a question of what is right
 HOUSTON: It looks to me, as suggested by my friend Mir Wetter- meyer here, that you are trying to get as little as you can for fear you cannot get any more. Is that it?
 Wickersham: That's about it.
 In spite of this record, and in spite of the further limitations that were included in the bill with Wick ersham's consent, the speaker said, he had contended for years that we have now full Territorial form of government.

KRAUSE ASKING FOR NEW TRIAL
 ALLEGES ERRORS

Attorney Kazis Krauczunas. attor' ney for Edward Krause, late yes- terday afternoon filed a motion for a new trial. The application sets forth that certain errors on the part of the Court and the District Attorney prejUdlced the case of the defendant and prevented him having Ia fair trial.
 Among the errors alleged were. error on the part of the court in not granting the request for change of venue; error in not allowing certain challenges for cause on the part Of the defendants attorney which caused him to use peremptory chal- lenges; error in refusing to keep the jury under the charge of bailiffs aI- ter starting to examine them for their qualifications to serve; error in refusing the request of the de- rendant for an itemized statement as to the articles taken from the boat of the defendant during his absence and introduced in evidence as having been stolen from the missing man; error in refusing to discharge the jury from further consideration of the case after the opening state ments of the district attorney; error ia refusing to grant continuance of the trial after the prosecution had sprung certain surprises in the way of articles introduced in evil dence and taken from the boat of the defendant without his having been furnished a list; error in refus ing the request of the defendant for an instructed verdict; that the yer diet was unlawful on account of in- sufficient evidence to warrant the verdict returned no evidence to prove venue, Corpus Deficit, time, manner and means of alleged mur- der; errors in law and errors in re- Gusing to give certain instructions to the jury as requested by the defend ant.
 The motion charged that the dis trict attorney was in error when he referred to the high character of the man and many other state ments which were not borne out by the evidence introduced in the case and which were very prejudicial to the cause of the defendant
 The motion will be argued before the court shortly after the finish of the John Pug trial

 Fisheries Record
 What has he done in the matter of fish Legislation since Wickersham went to Congress? When was the last time any law affecting the reg ulation of the fisheries was passed for Alaska9 In 1906 The fisheries are operated today under laws passed in 1906 before Wickersham ever went to Congress. ell says they have been depicting the fish. If so they have been depicting them ey- CT since and are depicting thm to- day. and for all that Mir. Wicker sham has ever done, will continue to deplete them until they are exter- minated"
 The speaker then showed from the record that Delegate Wickersham had consented to the limitations that had been placed on the Legis- lature preventing 1t from interfering with the fisheries. "Horatius at the bridge did not make them even vote on the question"
 Territorial Government Record
 The Speaker contended that Wick ersham sought to secure his Ter ritorial form of government bill as a platform on which to run and not for self-government purposes. He had succeeded in defeating commission bill similar in all essential facts to one that he had written himself for Delegate Gale, and that gave him a platform for 1910. lie wanted a 1912 platform, and wanted a Terri torial Legislature.
 He quoted a statement from Wick ersham before the committee on Ter ritories saying that he was seeking the passage of bill that would pro vide a Territorial Legislature the powers of which would be carefully limited far beyond the limitations of the powers of other Territorial Leg islatures." He wanted a Leglsla- ture that "COULD NOT HARM THE BIG INTERESTS and could not harm the Territory" He showed that members of the committee on Terri tories. notably Judge Houston of Ten nessee, now chairman Of the com mittee. had ridiculed the bill be- cause 1t does not give the people of the Territory sufficient power. He quoted the following dialogue from the record of the committee hearing on the Territorial form of govern ment bill:
 The Chairman: This bill provides for an elective Legislature and llm- its the powers of the Legislature This is the bill gentlemen, that we have today
 Mir. Wickersham: Yes sir; 1t is the least you could do for us,
