HOTEL NOT RESPONSIBLE
FOR LOSS OVER $500

Circuit Judge Martin A. Lueck on
Thursday gave decision limiting to
$500 the liability of the Hotel Wiscon-
sin, Milwaukee, which was sued by
Jesse Busley, actress, for alleged loss
of a $500 ruby placed in the hotel
safe. The decision says:
An innkeeper is not obliged to ac-
cept from any one guest property the
value of which exceeds $500. This pro-
vision would seem to indicate clearly
legislative purpose to cast upon the
guest who has property of greater
value, the burden of protecting it, a
burden that may be assumed by the
hotel keeper if he choose to accept it.
but which cannot be forced upon him.
There must be some special arrange
ment reduced to writing otherwise the
guest in the event of the loss of his
property will be limited to the recov-
cry of $500 against the innkeeper
There was not\any waiver in this case.
The plaintiff did not inform the clerk
about the value of the articles that
were deposited. The clerk has the
the right to. assume that they were
not of value greater than $500, be-
cause it was the duty of the plaintiff
if she desired greater protection to
bring that fact to the attention of the
defendant or its employees.

COMPANY NOW
MUSTERED
into SERVICE

. The recently organized military
company in Watertown was yesterday
mustered into the Wisconsin National
guard. A telegram to that effect was
received here by Captain A. F. SOlli-
day. The new company has total en-
rollment of 6S men but it is expected
to recruit up to war strength.
The Watertown company is now Co.
E, 9Th regiment of infantry. So far
they have not received their equip
ment but Captain Solliday expects
the necessary blanks soon when the
uniforms will be secured. When the
men have been equipped they will go
into camp at Camp Douglas.
With the exception of the captain,
no officers have been named for the
company. The captain and first and
second lieutenants are appointed by
the governor and the officers of lesser
rank are named by the captain. These
will not be named until the men have
: been drilled SO that the proper Sc
lections can be made for efficiency
and capability.
The First, Second and Third Infan-
try regiments of the Wisconsin Ma
tional guard are expected to mobilize
at Camp Douglas July Is to be follow
ed by the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth reg
iments. The war department announc-
ed yesterday that the guard units of
the nation would be called out in three
divisions July Is, July Is and August
National Guard Officarc fool corfa in
that the entire Badger guard will have
been modified at the state reserva-
ton before August /.

BANNER MONTH FOR Wa
TERTOWN PUBLIC LIBRARY

A record that will stand for years
to come was established by the library
in the month of June through the CO.
operation of the public, press, and
theatres. A total of 745 books were
issued, eclipsing ali previous years,
both in the old and new library The
largest week, and also day, was also
shown by the records in the circula-
ton department.
The flag raising exercises held last
Friday contributed to make the
month banner one in the annals of
the library as MISS NJ Macpherson,
the first librarian, was accorded the
honor Of raising the first flag to float
from the library grounds.
The junior reading circle, which is
now in full swing, was great factor
in raising the circulation to it's pres
ent record-breaking number There
are quite number of young people
in this organization, who each week
hand in synopsis of the story they
have read, one story week being re-
Quired of them. Up to date those who
have dropped the work has been
negligible.

The National Hymn.

No anthem, hymn or musical air has
been recognized by any Federal law as
the national anthem, hymn or air, but
army and navy regulations provide
that the musical composition familiar
ly known as the Star Spangled Ban
ner shall be designated as the nation
al air Of the United States of America.
1t should be stated, however, that
these regulations are binding only up
on the personnel Of the military and
naval service.
Whenever the national air is played
at any place where persons belonging
to the military or naval service are
present, all officers and enlisted men
not in formation are required to stand
at attention, facing toward the mu-
sic, excepting when the flag is being
lowered at sunset, on which occasion
they are required to face toward the
flag. If in civilian dress and uncovered
they are required to stand and salute
at the first note of the air, retaining
the position of salute until the last
note Of the air is played. If in civilian
dress and covered, they are required
to stand and uncover at the first note
of the air, holding the head-dress OPP
posite the left shoulder until the last
note is played, excepting in inclement
weather, when the head-dress may be
held slightly raised. The custom of
rising and remaining standing and
uncovered while the Star Spangled
Banner is being played is growing in
favor among civilians
Old or WORKOUT flags should not be
used either for banners or for any
secondary purpose. When a flag is in
such a condition that it is no longer
fitting emblem for display, it should
not be cast aside nor used in any
way that might be viewed as disre-
spectful to the national colors, but
should be destroyed as a whole, pri-
vately, preferably by burning or by
some other method lacking in any
suggestion of irreverence or disre-
spect due the emblem representing
our country.
1t should be borne in mind that the
views set forth in this article are
merely suggestive and that it is not
the intention of the department to
give them out as authoritative.

LONGER TERMS FOR
COUNTY SUPERVISORS

The bill of Assemblyman GRASS of
Door county, giving the option of ex-
tending the term Of town supervisors,

ton three supervisors shall be elect

nual meeting supervisor may be

YOUNG LADY INJURED.
Miss Minnie Behlke Meets With Acct
dent July 4.

Miss Minnie Behlke, residing at 921
Main street, had both wrists broken
and several ribs fractured when she
fell off a hayrack on the farm of C.
Luttmann, where she in company with
forty other young people had gone to
celebrate the Fourth.
Miss Behlke in stating how the acct
dent occurred, said that Clarence
I.uttmann had just told the young peo-
pie in the rack to sit down as he was
about to start, and that she was just
ready to be seated when the team
started, throwing her to the ground,
and in order to protect her body she
used both hands as a buffer. A mis-
taken impression has gained currency
that the team was started without
warning. Such is not the case and Miss
Behlke absolves Mr.. Luttmann of all
blame.

The BIG BOOK FAIR
: AN INTERESTING SIGHT

A news item from Chicago states
that at the annual book fair" now
being held in that city the publishers
report that almost all late books pub
lished are on war subjects. The pub
fishers also state that business is
good
To one not posted, the '.book fair"
is something of mystery, but it is an
interesting gathering. Plainly it means
that all publishers of note gather at
this time of the year at that great CEN
ter with samples of the output of their
respective houses, and Chicago retail
ers and jobbers call at the hotels
where the samples are exhibited and
make purchases, particularly for the
next holiday season. The customers
ale not confined to Chicago dealers, for
buyers for ste es from hundreds of
miles distant come into Chicago to
make purchases at this time, taking
advantage of the fact that the publish
ers often pay railroad fare and ex-
penses of good customers.
This of course is custom with
4
fair is interesting inasmuch as the
line appeals to the Intellectual as we'll
as the material side Only the head
representatives of the big eastern
book houses are present and in cases
OF some OF the smaller publishers, the
proprietor himself Is On hand. Usually
there are from seventy-flve to one hun
dred publishers represented, and in
the old days, the Palmer House was
the main headquarters. Of late years
however, the publi4lers scatter around
among various hotels, and the big cen
trail office is at A c. McClurg & Co. s
big jobbing house.
The privileged character may wan
der from sample room to sample room
and see old and rare volumes, and new
books and bindings that the public
will not view until next November
when they will be seen on the counters
of the big down town stores
There has been talk of late years of
making the book fair a public exhibit
tion-thus giving the public a chance
to see literature in the making This
plan, however, has been held down by
certain publishers as interfering with
trade and waiting on customers, for
notwithstanding She high standard OF
the business-or profession Of book
selling-there are business rules to be
observed, and competition to be
watched

ing in the public library this evening

chairman of the local organization and
desires a large attendance. In a letter
to the press Mr.. Bacon says:
The purpose Of this meeting will be
to perfect our local organization and
also to discuss ways and means of CO.
operating with Captain Solliday of
this city in an effort to increase en-
listments in our Watertown company
Of the National guard
President James has advised me that
Jefferson county's quota for the Ma
tional guard is ninety-two men short.
The enlistments in various towns are
reported by him as follows: Fort At
kinson liz, Waterloo q, Watertown
68, which shows that WatertOwn is
sadly lacking.
In correspondence with President
James and also in conversation with
Captain Solliday certain plans in
embryo have presented themselves and
these will be discussed at length and
Captain Solliday will be with us at
the above meeting.
This matter you will see is of para
mount Importance and l believe you
will agree with me that it should take
precedent over any social or business
obligations we may have at the above
time and that every one who is ply
sically able to attend the meeting
should do so.

Rowland TO Manage White sox.

Chicago, Oct 30.-EXTRAl President
Comiskey announces there will be no
change in the White Sox management
next year.
This startling information was elicit
ed from the Old Roman today, following
his return from ten days sojourn in
the wilds of Wisconsin, where he was
host to the Woodland Bards.
Comiskey admitted that even if it
did take Clarence Rowland six games
to wallop the Giants in the world S SER
les, he was going to give the "bush-
err another chance next season. -.e
The White Sox boss also said the team
would train again in Mineral Wells,
Tex, providing the natives there coax
little grass to grow on their bald
headed diamond. Otherwise. he intimat-
ed San Antonio will be given the oppor-
tunity to entertain his club next spring
New York and Boston fans will re-
ioice at the news that Comiskey has
definitely turned down a proposition to
take joint exhibition trip with either
the Giants or. Braves during spring
training.
