MAY GET MILITIA COMPANY
State Officials of National Guard Look
to Kenosha to Furnish One of the
New Companies Which It Is Pro-
posed to Organize at Once.

By an executive order by Gov E. Z.
Philip, an organization for promotion
of military training has been estab-
lished in Wisconsin. The league viii
be semi-oficial department. Of the
adjutant generals department, where
the rolls will be kept. Assistance will
be given by Adjt.-Gen. Holway.
Membership is to be made up of
firms employing men eligible to the
national guard service.
In the order from the adjutant gen.
eral IS department, explaining purposes
of the organization, it is said:
Heretofore, young men who have
desired to join the militia have been
deferred from so doing by the knowl-
edge that absence from their work
was Objectionable to their employers
and by the fact that they could not
afford loss of wages incurred during
encampment and field training.
"Some employers have recently re-
moved difficulties of enlistment by
their men by promising that enlist
ment will not prejudice their present
or future employment and that they
will grant leave of absence of time
required for training and will make
good any difference in wages paid by
the employer and state during such
period of training"
Lett69s soureing the plans of Che
league nave been received by all of
the manufacturers of Kenosha and the
matter VIII probably be taken up at
an early meeting of the Manufacture
er IS association of Kenosha. Officials
of the State National Guard are anxi-
Gus to secure an organization in Keno
sha. 1t is declared that Kenosha is
now the largest city in the state with
out such an organization Plans are
being made for the organization Of two
new companies of the state guard and
the officials believe that one of them
should be located in Kenosha Keno
sha manufacturers have been leaders
in advancing the preparedness -
movement and it is known that many
of them feel very friendly to plans for
the organization of company Of the
state guard in Kenosha. Smaller cities
in the state are strongly urging the
location of companies in those cities.
If Kenosha desires to have one of the
new companies some action must be
taken within very short time.
For months a movement has been
simmering here for the organization Of
military company. It needs some
one to give some assurance that the
company will have financial support.
II is possible that the new league pro-
posed by The governor will be able to
furnish this support to the men who
would be guardsmen and members Of
Kenosha company.
It is thought that company with
at least two hundred members could
be formed in Kenosha with the right
sort of backing. It is understood that
officials Of the National Guard will
visit Kenosha later or and seek to
bring the proposed Kenosha company
into being.

PEOPLE MAY RECOVER FEES
Attorney General Owen Says That Law
Providing Limit for Days Which Go.
Boards May Be In Session Must Be
Observed--Much Due Kenosha.

The "easy fours" of the membefs
of the Kenosha county board are under
fire. Not that any one is going to take
away the salary Of the board members
or have it reduced, but in the future
members of the county board are to be
limited to the number Of "easy fourso
allowed by the law. In past years Ke-
nosha county supervisors may have
known that there was law limiting
the pay Of solons to twenty days in
any one year, but this law has gener-
ally been considered dead letter and
the board members went right on and
held sessions for as many days as they
saw fit and drew pay for them. The
attorney general has just given out an
opinion in which he declares that suits
may be maintained to collect excess
fees paid to members Of county boards
in Wisconsin.
This is the opinion Of Attorney Gen
eral Owen which has just been given
to District Attorney E. S. Schmitz Of
Manitowoc and was presented to the
county board there. The only excep-
ton made by the opinion is in the case
of the members of the poor commits
sion which the commission the attor-
ney general holds, was created by
special resolution of the Manitowoc
board and fixed 9 per diem com
pensation.
In his opinion, which is lengthy, the
attorney general says that all public
officers assume Office with knowledge
of what compensation they are to re-
ceive and of the duties they are re-
quired to perform and section 66S of
the statutes limiting county board
members to twenty days service, is
cited. eff members Of the board can
not perform their work in twenty
days, they cannot receive extra com
pensation," says the opinion, which
holds that the county board has no
authority, in law, to grant additional
compensation.
Section 1919 which was a later en-
actment than 66S, provides for appoint
ment of members Of the county board
to act with town boards on construc-
ton Of bridges, but the attorney gem
eral says that the act provides no addi-
tional compensation and that none can
be collected. However, board members
are liable to heavy penalty for refusal
to serve on such committees.
County boards in Kenosha county
have not been accustomed to pay a
great deal Of attention to the opinion
of the attorney general and it is not
expected that his opinion will meet
with any greater consideration than
those in the past. Up in Manitowoc
county property owners objected to ex-
ira fees being paid. In Kenosha
county no such protest has ever been
filed to put the law to test.

Philip WRITES c. ". TAYLOR
Advises Him of secretary's Desire
That Kenosha County Promptly
Report to italian Consulate
Certain Deaths.

Italy is inclined to scold at the
United States bit on the ground of
Uncle Sans not paying strict atten-
ton, it Is alleged by Italy, to the terms
Of an agreement by which it should
promptly report to the italian consulate
in the United States the death Of any
italian who leaves an estate without
| heirs in this country.
Gov. E. L. Philip has no inclination
to have Wisconsin at fault in this mat
ter and has written the probate judges
of the state a letter on the subject.
Judge George w. Taylor, judge of
Kenosha county, was favored this NOR
ming with a letter, personally signed
by the governor, in which the head of
the state. calls attention to an enclosed
copy of a letter received by him from
Robert Lansing, secretary of state of
the United States.
/ Mr.. Lansing's letter follows:
Department of State,
Washington, April 25, 1916.
His Excel1ency,
The Governor of Wisconsin.
Sir:
Referring to the Department s circu-
lar letters of July IA, 1898, May 26,
1906, and June 5, 1914, I have the
honor to recall to your attention the
fact that Article XVI of the Consular
Convention of May s, 1873, between
the United States and Italy (copy of
which is appended provides that in the
case of the death Of an American citi-
zen in Italy or of an Italian subject in
the United States who has no known
heir or testamentary executor designat-
ed by him the competent local authori-
ties shall give notice Of the fact to
the Consuls or Consular Agents Of the
nation Of the deceased, in order that
the information may be at once trans
mitted to the parties interested.
The Government Of Italy alleges that
the local authorities Of the States of
this Union fail in many instances to
comply with the stipulations of this
article under which it becomes their
duty to notify an Italian consular off
Ger of the death Of any italian subject
without known hers or testamentary
