LONG SERVICE FOR SERGEANT
Sergeant Sorrensen Who Enlisted at
Time of Spanish-American War Has
Seen Long Service and His Nephew
is Winding Up His Enlistment.

The Sorrensen family of Kenosha is
doing its share in the chase for Villa
and two members of the family are
now on the borders of Mexico just
waiting chance to get into the front
rank of the battle which is to follow.
First Sergeant S. P. T. Sorrensen,
matured as a soldier by more than
twenty years of campaigning, is with
Troop G. of the First Cavalry at Doug
las, Arizona, ready for border service
and he has seen lot of it. Sergeant
Sorrensen from the point of years
served, is one of the oldest, if not the
Oldest, man in the army from Kenosha.
He has served a total of twenty-four
years. Just a little while before the
Spanish-American war recruiting Of
ficer came to Kenosha and Sorrensen
was interested. He had travelled
around considerable and he drifted
west and managed to enlist as one of
the famous Rough Riders who served
under Col Roosevelt and he was in
the famous charge at San Juan hill.
Later he got into the regulars and saw
3 number of years of service in the
Philippine Islands while the American
troopers were fighting the guerrilla
warfare against the natives before the
islands were pacifed. Ten years ago
he returned to the regular service in
this country and much Of his time has
been spent on the border. Letters re-
Gently received from him declare that
he is expecting to leave in a short time
to join the expedition into Mexico.
The other member of the KenOsha
Sorrensen family who is going to help
in Mexico is Magnus- ]. Sorrensen.
He has followed the Stars and Stripes
as a member of the naval forces for
the past four years and while he is
but nineteen years of age letter re-
ceived from him on Thursday states
that he has been raised to the rank of
quartermaster. He is now on the
Cruiser Raleigh which is on the west
coast Of Mexico loaded down with
ammunition for use in battling the
Vlllaistas or any other troop Of the
Mexieans which may be mixed up with
the United States. Young Sorrensen
will have served out his term Of en-
istment in December and he plans to
return home at that time if the brush
with Mexico is over. Like his uncle
OF twenty-four years service he likes
the service of Uncle Sam and he has
already declared that just as soon as
his first term is over he will enlist in
the navy for another term.
The Sorrensens have many friends
and relatives in Kenosha and the fact
that they are with the army and navy
on the border adds interest to the dis
patches from the field.

BRIGHTON SETS RECORD.

Pauperism is an unknown word in
the town of Brighton for this morn
ing the officials of the town made their
annual report "Out Door Relief for
the year of 1915. Not a single cent
was expended by the town in caring
for paupers and the answers to long
column of questions are "none" with
out a single exception. The fact that
NO money has been spent in this work
in the town of Brighton does not indi-
cate that Brighton is forgetfpl of its
duty to the unfortunates. Not sim
gle application for relief was received
during the year 1915 and not an APP
plication thus far in 1916 The rec
ord is one that has not been made by
the other towns of the county, but
most of the towns report very few
requests for relief

SEND EN- ALONG ORDINANCE
City and County Officials Asked to
Join in Big Movement for the
Elimination Of Tramps.

Members of the city council and
members Of the county board are be-
ing asked to join in the "Move EN-
AlongO movement that is now work
ing in many parts of the country as a
solution of the tramp problem. The
plan proposed is the passage of an or
dinance which will give pauper officials
the right to furnish money for the
transportation of Migrants to the
cities or towns in which they have a
legal residence. The ordinance has
been approved by many civic associa-
tions and it is being strongly urged
by the charitable organizations of Ke-
nosha. The plan proposed is not to
furnish transportation to any vagrant
until after an examination has been
made to find out just where the man
has o legal residence and then he is to
be sent to this place to be cared for
by the proper officials. In Kenosha
it has been the plan to furnish such
people with transportation to the south
limits of the city and many Of the Of
fcials are inclined to believe that this
plan is just as good as the one pro-
vided in the proposed ordinance.

GET sREAKwATER BIDS.
North Lake Avenue Breakwater to be
Built at a Cost Less Than the
Amount of the Bond Issue.

The street assessment committee of
the city council in special session on
Friday afternoon, opened bids for the
Lake avenue breakwater and the job
will probably go to Greiling Brothers
Of Green Bay, now in charge of lay
ing the new intake for the water COM
pany. The low bid Of this company
was $4,000 for the construction Of
thirteen hundred feet Of breakwater
from the north limits Of the city to
the south limits Of Garfield street. As
the city has made an appropriation of
$4,000 and bonds for this amount are
now being issued it is probable that
the committee will plan for an extern
sion of the breakwater to the south
line of Garfield street extended. All
of this work can be completed within
the $4,000. Other bidders for the
contract were: McMullen and Pits of
Manitowoc, $4,000; Peter B. Gallo
way, Racine, $32,580, and The Great
Lakes Dredge and Dock company of
Milwaukee, $38,750. The members of
committee regard the bid Of the Green
Bay firm as very favorable one and
it is expected that the contract for the
work will be let by the council at the
meeting on Monday evening. The
contract will provide that the work be
completed by the first of August.

CARRIERS SERVE NOTICE.
Men Will Not Work After the Fist
Day Of April Unless Some Formal
Appointments are Made.

Three rural mail carriers now work
iEg out of the Kenosha postofice have
served formal notice on the postmaster
that their services as temporary car.
riers must come to and end with the
completion of the trips tomorrow. The
postmaster today wired Washington
asking that appointment Of regular
rural carriers be made by wire at
once in order that the work of get
ting the mails to patrons may not be
Interrupted. Examinations for these
carriers were held many weeks ago
and the standings of the carriers have
been made public. Some Of the temp
orary carriers did not make the high
est grades in the examinations and for
this reason they do not expect perma-
nent employment. Now that the roads
are getting decidedly bad they are I'M
willing to continue in service only to
give up the work to some appointe of
the department. when the weather gets
more favorable for this class of work.
Il is expected that the appointment of
the carriers will reach the local
office some time this afternoon or
tomorrow morning.

SEES SUCCESS IN FIVE YEARS.
National Speaker Talks of Movement
to Secure Constitutional Amend
ment in United States.

The Rev. Howard III. Russell of New
York, spoke to one hundred and
seventy-fve men at the Congregational
church last night following luncheon
which was given through the courtesy
of the National Anti-Saloon League.
DR.. Russell was the founder of the
Anti-Saloon League in Ohio, twenty
three years ago and has been promin-
emily identified with the movement
since. He spoke on the industrial
phases of the temperance question,
calling attention to the fact that it
has been scientifically proved that
drink causes ineficiency, accidents and
sickness among laboring men and is an
expensive proposition for the employer.
The speaker outlined the movement
being carried on now for the adoption
of an amendment to the constitution
of the United States prohibiting the
manufacture, sale, importation and
transportation of alcoholic liquors for
beverage purposes and predicted the
success of this movement in five years.

IS Il s. 3 s. s. s.

This is the message from the border
received by the henosha Evening
News this morning. Mr.. Whittier was
one of the members Of the last band
OF Kenosha men to 80 to Mexico and
he is in close touch with just what is
going on along the border. His story
of how Keuosha boys are making good
working the two hundred mile trail in
the wake Of the army in Mexico is
supplemented by lot of letters which
have been received in Kenosha Of
fetal dispatches also mention the
Kenosha truck units. The big Jeffrey
"Quads" are proving Of real service
to Uncle Sam and they are now
thoroughly organized into the supply
train for the army pursuing Villa.
When the first battle Of the Mexican
campaign was fought on Thursday the
Kenosha truck drivers were within a
few miles of the battle line and they
got a chance to hear the booming
of the musketry and to get the
smell Of the powder.
Of the more than eighty Kenosha
men who have gone to Mexico but one
man has returned He came back be-
cause he did not like the employment
offered by Uncle Sam. The army of
fcials have made no effort to enforce
contracts and the men who are not in
touch with the enthusiasm, which
marks the movements of the army
IN Mexico are not being detained
against their will.
A lot more Kenosha men are in
training for service in Mexico. Just
al present, according to letters from
the front, the main thing for the men
to learn is how to tow in some of the
trucks not made in Kenosha. One let
Ger declared that one truck was towed
In for a distance Of one hundred and
thirty-fve miles and that the big
Jeffery Quad brought in the truck
and carried it's load of empties at
the same time
Bids for added motor truck equip
ment for the army were opened in New
York on last Wednesday and it is ex-
pected that contracts will be awarded
the first Of next week, possibly on
Monday. 1t is certain that the Keno
sha company will get its share of this
business as the army officials have I'm
qualifedly endorsed the work of the
Jeffery trucks over the almost impossi-
BILE roads in Mexico. The truck trains
are now close to two miles in length
when the drivers take their distance
to keep away from the dusts of the
Mexican deserts, but the trains are so
well guarded by regular troops that
it is declared that none of the Keno
sha boys are in danger.

NOT FOR GRASS WIDOWS.
Divorced Women DO Not Come Under
Workings of Mothers Pen

sion'' Act in the State.
The mothers pension law, which
has been in operation in this city and
county since the first of the year,
seems to have been misconstrued in
some counties, but the ruling of the
state board of control made at the re-
quest of Judge Kreiss of Appleton has
cleared up the situation and made it
plain that divorced women do not come
under the workings of that law. The
ruling was obtained by reason of the
fact that the state refused to reim-
burse the county for money paid to a
divorced woman and her four children.
There has been no misunderstanding
regarding the provisions of the law in
this county. Local judges stated
this morning that the law is plain and
that only widows, and wives of per-
sons serving time in a prison or the
dependents Of missing husbands are
eligible for support. There have been
no applications for aid in this county
by divorced women, and should there
be any the application will be refus-
ed, as no mention is made in the law
enabling court to dispense the funds
for the support of such cases.
