BY Milton Bronner.
Washington, Sept. 24:-When a dis
tinguished mission is expected, in a
capital especially wher the
countries are or were monarchies; the
question of housing them is simple.
Some executive in the. department
for foreign affairs presses. a button,
a f~unctionary, yawns
YEARLY and says: (Which palaces
are unpccupied?"" y
He gets the list, picks M and says:
Prepare this one for use by the
mission next week" /
And the thing is settled-no worry,
no furry nice old palace, with.
traditions and spooks and secret
chambers, all ready for occupancy.
But it's different here. We do not
own palaces. We.give our president
a nice white colonial house ina. mod!
est park. compared to what our mil
lionaires own. And we say to our
vice president and cabinet officers,
Go chase yourselves. We pay you
$4,000 a year. Find yoursown home
and furnish it."
So, when we went into this war and
al food of missions came to our

hampering the. administration in the
effort to bring the war to a successful
conclusion. When discussing the act
of these men, Rev. Watson said:
we hear a great deal in these days
about free speech, but the right is
not all on one side, and I say to you,
that when LaFollette, and Gronna and
Townley say that this is a war for the
benefit Of the rotten RICH they are
despoiling your son and daughters
and are no more worthy of respect
than is the German kaiser, himself.
The only difference between LaFol-
lette, Gronna and Townley and the
capitalists, whom they call the rotten
rich,' is this: the capitalists may be
rich and rotten, but these men are
only rotten. However, when the Ger
man money has been equally divided
among those who have helped her,
these men may be both more rotten
than they are now and a little more
rich.
"I hope that the day is not far dis
tant when these men whose disloynl
u~tterances have proved them to be
what they are, traitors to their coun-
try, will be branded as such.
"This is a righteous war, and any
man in this country who will stand.
up LII say. LlldI IL Is. uOL, Is 0lLIOT' a
traitor or an ignorardus."
When the drafted soldiers left the
banquet hall to proceed to the depot,
they were accompanied by, Company
M, the Machine;G Gun company and the
Grand Forks Military band. Thousands
of people followed the boys to the
station. S
The demonstration was s%ynbolical
of the patriotism of Grand Forks
county. The departure of the So men
was the first time since the outbreak
of the war with Germany that this
city has been called upon to witness
the departure of a&large contingent Of
men. On mex Wednesday similar
demonstration will take place and
again on October third. The fact that
the United States is in this war has
been brought home with force, rs only
the departure of the young men OF
the community could bring this TACT
into prominence.

amount up to $356.25.
With the $500 mark thus brought
near, it is expected that subscriptions
made today and tomorrow will reach
that figure.
Yesterday, employees of the postof-

fund of $3.50, which aided materially
in swelling the days donations.
Subscriptions yesterday came from
every section of the Red River VAL

Health Board
Lifts Quarantine
New Rule of Seven Day Quarantine for
German Measles Goes Into
Effect on Friday Afternoon.

The new health board rule provid-
ing for seven day quarantine for
German measles, went into effect in
Kenosha on Friday and during the day
and this morning more than one humid
dred and eighty quarantine signs were
removed from houses in the city.
Members of the health board held that
the two weeks quarantine for German
measles was too severe and ordered
that the period for isolation be reduced
to one week. There has been a large
number Of complaints on account of the
guarantees for German measles and
the members of the health board are
convinced that week is sufficiently
long quarantine. AS a very few cases
of the disease have been reported in
the past few weeks there are now only
few signs left in the city. The
health commissioner is convinced that
reduction of the time for quarantine
will not result in spreading the disease

Fractured Skull Is
Cause of Death
Coroner Millager Gets Facts in Regard
to Man Found Dead in Twin
Lakes Ice House Wednesday.

Coroner H. G. Millager has COM
pleted an investigation into the death
of Thomas N. Malusek, found dead in
one of the ice houses of the Consum-
er's Ice Company at Twin Lakes on
Wednesday morning. 1t was found
that the man died from a fracture at
the base of the skull. He had been
alone in the ice house at the time he
met the injury, but it is thought that
he fell from one of the pieces of ma
chinery in the building. Malusek was
in the neighborhood of fifty years of
age and he had been employed by the
Consumers company for the past twelve
years and had lived at the Twin Lakes
boarding house. The body will be
buried at Twin Lakes probably tomor-
row. County officials are now making
an effort to locate relatives of the I'M
fortunate man, but as far as can be
learned he had no relatives in this
section of the country. Coroner Mil
lager declared that there was not the
slightest suggestion of foul play in
connection with the death of Malusek.

'Sldckers" Find
Ne1O Difficulty

If you are twenty-one and neglected
to register on Tuesday last you may
have trouble buying drink in any one
of the saloons of Kenosha, according
to the agreement of the Kenosha Retail
Liquor Dealers at their meeting on the
north side Thursday afternoon. To avoid
selling "boozeo to minors the novel
plan of asking all, whom they suspect
of being under age to show their blue
registration certificate as a proof of
their majority, has been suggested and
will universally be used here in the city.
"The Stacker who thought he could
get by without registering, if there
are any in the city," said one dealer,
"may find that he will have to go with
out a drink until the time when he gets
a call from the federal officials and it
will serve him right, too.''
Another action at the meeting on
Thursday was that the dealers made up
a black list all their own where they
expect to list all habitual drunkards
and seat-warmers not now named on
the official list furnished by the police.
They have gone so far in this reform
as to ask wives and mothers
Of men, who are h a b |
drunkards to re p o r to the
saloon-keepers that they wish to have
them listed and action will be taken
to prevent them buying liquor at Ke-
nosha saloons.

KEEP WINNING GAIT.
Commercial Students Again Capture
Hcnors Friday Afternoon at Mil
waukee Commercial Academy.

The commercial students OF the Ke-
nosha High School added new laurels
to their credit Friday afternoon when
Miss Reeba Goldberg took first honors
in the shorthand contest between four
schools held at Wisconsin Commercial
Academy on Grand avenue in Nilwau
kee. The schools of South Milwaukee,
West Allis, Wauwetosa and Kenosha
were each represented by four repre-
sentatives in each contest giving Miss
Goldberg first out of a field of sixteen
contestants, with the remarkable score
of 100 per cent. The other representa-
tives for the Kenosha school were the
Misses Anna Sorenson, Irene Gustofsen
and Florence Schulz. In the typewrit
ing contest, where the same persons
contested for Kenosha with the excep-
ton that Miss Goldberg was replaced
by John Young, fourth and fifth honors
fell to the local typists with record
of seventy-five words minute less the
number Of errors.

SCHOOL EXHIBIT AT wERvE's.
Manual Training Work of Freshman
Boys Now on Display in Downtown
Store Window.

A variety of articles, both useful and
ornamental, designed and made by
freshman students in the manual train
ing department of the local High
School, is now on display in the win
dows of the Werve Furniture Company.
The exhibit includes library and sewing
tables, fern stands, hall trees, piano
benches, medicine chests and step lad
ders. The work was done under the di-
reetion of Mr. Kopplin and reflects a
great deal of credit not only upon him
but also upon H. W. Kim, the head Of
the manual training department in the
Kenosha schools. The public is cor
daily invited to examine the articles
which arc an indication of the practical
efficiency developed in high school stu
dents by the more utilitarian subjects
of the present day curriculum.

new REGULATIONS TO HELP
No Action Taken in Regard to Election
of. Fire Chief and Members of Com
mission Declare They Are Satisfied
With the Present Conditions.

Revisions of the twenty year-old reg
ulations which have governed the fire
and police departments Of Kenosha, was
taken up at special meeting of the
Fire and Police Commission held at the
Office of the mayor in the city hall on
Friday evening and the members of the
board will probably be kept busy for
the next month completing the work.
Way back in 1897 when the police
and fire commission was organized,
these rules were promulgated and in the
twenty years many changes have been
made in the demands for service for
fremen and police officials. In that
time the departments have done away
with the use of horse drawn vehicles
and taken on automobiles and duties Of
men employed have been changed in
many ways.
The departments in Kenosha have
been "shy'' on regulations according
to the belief of members of the depart
ment and too much of the work has
been done without system. In making
the revised rules the members of the
commission are taking as models regu-
lations proposed for some of the best
police and fire departments in the coun-
try and when the regulations are ready
for publication they will provide for
model organization of the two depart
ments.
1t is just a little early for us to tell
just what these regulations will pro-
vide,o said one of the members of the
commission this morning. "We have
for a long time felt the need of proper
rules and regulations for the two de-
partments and it is our plan to work
out just such a set Of rules. Many sug-
gestions have been made from men i'm
the departments themselves and these
suggestions will undoubtedly be incor-
porated.~ Other cities have gained the
highest degree of efficiency by proper
regulations and that is what we are
seeking for Kenosha' -
The board did not take up the inter-
esting question of the election of a new
chief engineer Of the fire department
Members of the board insist that they
are entirely satisfied with the way in
which things are moving along at this
time and that there is no reason to
MAKE any change at this time. It is
probable that the election of the new
chief viii not come UP until some time
in the fail.

FOOD SUPPLY MAY DELAY
Only Question of a Few Days Until
Kenosha Recruits Will Entain for
Camp Douglas-Hike This After
noon Led by Army Officers.

That the infantry and cavalry units
of the Wisconsin National Guard which
have been formed in Kenosha will prob
ably be sent to Camp Douglas to pre-
pare to go to training camp in the south
on next Friday was the content of
message from Major Mccoy to Captain
Dayton yesterday. The only eventu-
atty which would prevent that early an
entertainment would be the fact th.s
the state would not be able to furnish
supplies but that seems only a bare
possibility at the present. The order
was that the captain should have his of
ficers and men ready for report on the
10Th of June.
1T will only be question of four
or five days after Friday at the out
side, said infantry officials this NOR
ming, until the special train for the
Kenosha VOLUNTEERS will carry them to
the camp. - Cavalry troop "E" has
received similar notification and is
preparing to have everything in readi-
uCoo W NC vi uduNo III oullS DIT bN6
time designated. The fact that they
are to be called so soon has led the in
fantry company to postpone the regular
muster-in of the recruits until they
shall reach Camp Douglas.
AS part of the regular drill this aft
ernoon the infantry is to have a short
hike under the personal supervision of
] ieutenants Dake and Bartol, two
regular army men, who will give praeti,
cal suggestions to the officers and pri.
Yates of the company as to how they
csn make the best showing possible
when they report for service at Camp
Douglas
Both companies are anxious that any
who contemplate volunteering should
investigate Immediately in order that
they may have the benefit of the train
ing of the coming week and that the
companies may be as uniform as pos
sible.

John Haag
Pulls His ReUoluer

After they had practically cleaned
out the place, Gordon Bloyer and G. H.
Ward were arrested on Friday after
noon by Undersheriff John Haag at the
saloon of John Zimanni on Alberts
street. Before Haag made the men
understand just what he meant when
he started to restore order he was fore
ed TO flourish revolver. The two
men were held on charges of resisting
an officer this morning and fines of
twenty-five dollars and costs or sixty
days in. Jail were imposed on each Of
them. They expected to pay the fines
before the day is over.
Ward and Bloyer got into an argu-
ment with Dennis Gertis, contractor,
and the argument ended in a fight in
which Gerits was pretty badly beaten
up. George Wavro, the bartender in
the saloon, went to the aid Of Gergits
and one of the assaulting party grabbed
a billiard cue and made vicious launch
at Wavro. Wavro fled and called the
police and the sheriff. When the
undersheriff arrived things were going
pretty lively. Gergits had been badly
beaten. Haag told the men they were
under arrest. One of them shouted:
"Well, if we're going to pay a fine
we are going to finish up the job, -
and they started in after Gergits again.
Ry this time Police Officer Wellmann
had come to the aid of Haag and the
two officers managed to get the men
out of the saloon and to Jail.
It is not improbable that the two
men will be arrested later for the as
sault made on Gergits and Wavro.

Wilson Case
Goes OUer Again

The preliminary hearing Of the case
of the state against George Wilson,
arrested ten days ago on charges Of
assault, regardless of human life, in
connection with the terrible injury of
Anton Bredek, Pleasant Prairie pow
der worker on the Geneva Road on the
evening of May 10th, was to have
come up in the Municipal Court this
morning, but an adjournment was
taken to June 18th. The adjournment
was made necessary on account Of the
condition of the victim of the accident
who is still in the Kenosha Hospital.
Bredek is threatened with blood poi
son and surgeons attending him declare
that his condition is not nearly as
favorable to a recovery as it was a
few days after his leg was crushed
under an automobile. 1t is intimated
that Bredek may yet die from his in
juries. District Attorney Peter Fisher
will insist that the preliminary hearing
of Wilson be held over until Bredek
is able to come to court Wilson was
released today on continuing bond.f

Russell Ell. Jones, the county clerk, is
in receipt of the foregoing telegram
from Governor Philip, who is very
anxious that the state Of Wisconsin
should not appear a Stacker in the per-
Torrance of it's national duty. The
message indicates that the nation as
we'll as the state will temper its mill
tary policy with mercy, but will toler-
ate no violation of the rules for regis
tration provided by the national con-
scription act. Mr.. Jones anticipates no
difficulty such as is suggested in the
telegram and reports that the work of
enrolment is almost complete
A, R. Davies, secretary of the general
registration board for the city, when
consulted Friday morning stated that
only thirteen men had registered since
Tuesday from the city proper and an
examination of the county reports show
that only one had enrolled from outside
the city in the same time This is
doubtless an indication that most of the
Kenosha county people who fall be-
tween the ages provided by the draft
have performed their patriotic duty and
are now registered for military service.
Although it has been said that no
registrations would be received after
five O'Clock Friday afternoon, the local
boards have been given no official noti-
fcation of this fact and will continue
the work of enrolment as long as there
are applications or until authoritative
instructions are sent from the govern
ment prohibiting further registration
