STABBING AFFRAY

Friday night at the saloon of Fred
denke on Second street south about
IL o'clock p. M, there were four per-
sons, M.assrs. Carl Vervoort, Joe Ry-
an, Mar Z Mullen and Eugene Myers,
n said saloon talking together about
The war. While they were thus en-
gagged Paul Swartz, the we'll known
brick layer who resides in the city,
came into the saloon and Immediate
ly took offense at what the first four
named gentlemen were saying. The
four men retorted back and said in
substance that it was none of his bu-
siness and one word following anoth-
ar resulting in Mr.. Swartz drawing a
iack-knife and slashing at his oppon-
ents. The four men scattered, but
not until Carl Vervoort had been
Slashed twice on his right arm near
the elbow. By this time police officer
Louis Painter arrived on the scene and
arrested Mr.. Swartz and took him to
the county Jail for safe keeping for
the night. 1t is generally believed
that all the men had been drinking
some, but none of them were the worse
for the liquor. Paul Swartz allowed
his temper to get away with him and
got in trouble before he fully realiz-
ed what he was doing.
A preliminary hearing took place
Saturday afternoon before justice F.
Calkins, the charge being assault with
intent to do great bodily harm Dis
trict Attorney, John Roberts, appear
ed for the state and Mr.. Swartz gave
bail in the sum of $500 for his appear
ance at 9 o'clock a. m. Nov 10th. His
bond was signed by Messrs. A. P.
Hirzy and J. A. Cohen.
We want to say in behalf of Mr..
Swartz that he has never been arrest
ed before and just how he got into
this trouble is more than his friends
can understand as he is a hard-work-
ing man and one who generally at
tends TO his business. We are sorry
that he got into this trouble.

GOV. Phillip SEEKS
APPOIN1|vE POWER
Believes Best Interests of State
Demand Naming Husting's
Successor.
WOULD SELECT STRONG MAN
No Time for a Partisan Election, and
State Oought Not to Be Put to
the Cost of Special
Election.

Madison.-The position of Gov. E. L.
Phillip on the senatorial situation aris-
ing from the sudden death of United
States Senator Paul O. Husting was
revealed in statement which he has
just issued.
Governor Phillip reiterated his state
ment that he would not be a candi-
date.
Must Stand by Wilson.
He said the man who succeeds Sen
ator Husting must stand with the ma
donal government and that he will not
consider partisan politician.
"Insomuch as the term Of service of
the new senator, in any event, will be
less than year, the people may save
the cost in money and avoid the tur-
moil and bitterness that would be in
jected into such an election at this
time If the legislature will authorize
the governor to fill this temporary
place by appointment" says Philipp's
statement.
Il propose to call a special session
of the legislature in the near future
for such legislation as is necessary to
meet the war emergencies, and I shall
include q recommendation in the call
asking for authority to fill the va
cancy that exists now in the Office OF
United States senator by appointment.
Wants Best Man for Job.
"In order to fOreStall the argument
that will be made that | have some
political advantage in mind, either for
myself or some friend, ] will say that
If 1t is my privilege to make an ap-
pOintment | shall select the strongest
man In the state whom | can induce
TO take the office. He will be Il man
who will stand with the national gov
ernment in our present crisis and not
Il rank partisan politician.
Not Candidate Himself
Personal friends have expressed
the wish and political enemies have
expressed the fear, that / might be a
candidate in case an election We're
held, or, as has been suggested by a
few nervous politicians, that / might
by legerdemain place myself in the Of
fee If the place Is filed by appoint
ment. In reply to all such statements
l wish to say that am not a candi-
date for the office of United States
senator and do not wish the position
for myself. The people elected me
governor of this state and l propose to
serve out the term for which they
elected me. Furthermore, 1t is my
Judgment that | may render the peo-
pie q service during the balance of
my term that they need, and the priv
ilege of which l do not wish to foregO,"
the governor concluded

Urges Accurate Birth Registration
The extreme Importance of birth reg
istratiOn emphasized by wartime con-
ditiOnS was again urged by ID, c. A.
Harper, state health officer, in open
ing the annual conference of field men
of the state board of health. The sit
uatiOn has become so acute, he said,
that aggressive measures are neces-
Sary.
Where wilful violations of the law
are apparent, prosecutions should be
brought, said Doctor Harper. He has
advised the secretary of each county
medical society In the state to make
this known to their members at the
next meeting. No excuses for failure
to register births will be accepted here
after. he declared.
Federal census investigators, said
Doctor Harper, are due to visit Wis
cOnsin shortly to ascertain the extent
Of birth registrations and determine
whether Wisconsin is entitled to ad-
mission to the birth-regiStratiOn area.
The field agents were addressed also
by DR.. w. F. Whyte. president of the
state board of health, and a five-min-
ute paper was presented by each mem
ber of the conference. Round table
