Only 8 in First
Draft Unit Face
Desertion Charge
% Others, Who Failed to
Report, Thought to Have
Plausible Excuses

Of the thirty-six selected men who
failed to report Monday not more .hsn
eight desired TO evade service in the
National Army in the opinion Of Dep
uty Attorney General Roscoe s. Conk-
ling, director of the draft in this city
Mr.. Conkling said last night that the
indications were that all the rest would
be able 20 furnish plausible excuses
tor their delinquency.
II was also pointed out at Mr.. Conk-
ling'S OAic, that the men who were no.
on hand when the first quota left Tor
Camp Upton are not yet deserters. As
two weeks absence is necessary TO con-
stitute tho CRIME of desertion. Those
who turned up yesterday and who will
give themselves up within the next day
or two will be treated leniently, &C
cording to Mr. Conkling. and 1t Is like
iy, he added, tina: only from five TO
eight drafted men will be court mar
tailed.
At least half Of the delinquents, il
Was said, are aliens, who were certlned
for service because they did not file
affidavits with the local boards to prove
they were ineligible for the draft. Most
Of the others had moved, or were out
Of the city. and therefore did not re-
ceive their red cards notifying them 10
report Monday morning.
As the situation stood last night, al
except twenty had communicated with
the government officials and Of the
score who were missed some were
accounted Tor. Two Of such me-
are out at sea, and, according 70
Mr.. Conkling, are probably eXemp'
from service. Another moved 10 Italy
3 month ago, il was said, and the gov
eminent officials are investigating hi;
case. It was learned that another has
not been in the city for month. and

GET READY
FOR ICE HARVEST
Big Companies Fear That There Will be
Lots of Trouble Securing Men
to Harvest Crons.

The scouts of the big Chicago ice
companies are out in the western part
of the county today making plans for
the opening of the ice harvest in the
county and they are hopeful that the
harvest will start before Christmas this
year and that there will be long sea-
son fit for the cutting and storing of
the product. They are facing hard
proposition in securing workmen for
the ice fields. Employment bureaus re-
fuse to make any promises as to what
they will do for the ice companies this
year and the companies are now at
tempting to line up men for the cutting
season in the localities about the lakes.
Shortage of man power is certain to
interfere with the ice industry and it
is also certain that if the companies
are to have men to work the ice fields
that they will have to pay higher sal
aries than ever before. The houses for
the housing Of the men in this county
are being renovated and placed in con-
dition to open at a minute S notice.

In the Circuit Court in Racine on
Tuesday, Judge Belden heard the plea
of Mrs. Matte Spalding for a reopen
ing Of the Judgment by which she was
granted a divorce from her husband,
DR.. John B. Spalding, in Kenosha coun-
ty many years ago. Mrs. Spalding has
been paid alimony at rate of 500 a
month since the divorce was granted

increased to $3.50 month. In her
complaint she alleges that she needs
this amount to provide properly for her
maintenance. DR.. Spalding did not ap-
pear in court but he was represented
by Attorney r. V. Baker of this city
It is declared that the doctor is now
living in California. Mrs. Spalding is
in poor health and during the hearing
In court she was forced to recline upon
couch. Tt is understood that bitter
contest will be made against any
change in the order of the court. Judge

Of social reunions and it is expected
that family reunions will be held in
many homes with many former Ke-
noshans returning for the day. 1t will
be war time Thanksgiving and this
afternoon scores of men who have an
swered the call to the colors at various.
-ar~ag camps in thaxeomltry are hcme to
spend turkey day. with their parents.
For many of them it will be a greeting
and a farewell as before another great
holiday feast comes they expect to be
on the way to the fighting line in
France.
The military side Of Thanksgiving
will be emphasized in Kenosha this
year. Many soldiers who are tempo
rarily in the city and who have found it
impossible for them to go to their
homes will be guests in Kenosha homes
and take the place at the table of
Kenosha boys who are serving under
the flag in some other state or in some
other country.
The "Kenosha Plan is to be fol-
lowed closely on Thanksgiving lay and
the fact that many peopl e will not
be working is going to allow them to
give some Of their time during the day
to the circulation of the pledge cards.
Of course turkey day. would not
be really complete without foot ball
game to settle the dinner and one has
been arranged for Jeffrey Park where
the Kenosha High School boys will
meet the school team from Delavan on
Thursday afternoon Tt will be the last
game Of the season in Kenosha and the
best.
There will be no lack of entertain
ment for the Thanksgiving Day crowds
as all of the theatres in the city are
offering special and interesting pro-
grams for both the afternoon and even
ing.

NO ACTION BY COMMISSION
Attorneys for Property Owners Ready
to Present Petition as Soon as Hear
ing Is Ordered-Local Managers OF
Go. Say Plans Are Indefinite.

That the Wisconsin Gas and Elec-
trio Company is determined to abandon
the public heating system at the end
of the present season, is evidenced by
the fact that the management of the
company in Kenosha has notified County
Clerk Jones that it will give no assur-
ance that heat at the Municipal Court
will be continued next year. The county
clerk presented the matter to the
County Board this morning and the
matter of providing some other method
of heating the building or of providing
another properly heated building is
now in the hands of the Municipal
Court committee.
Manager Cook declared to County
Clerk Jones that it would be impossible
for the company to give any definite
assurance of the continuance of the
heating service in Kenosha. 1t is de-
clared that when pipes leading to the
Municipal Court building were removed
a few days ago they were found to be
as "thin as paper' and it is doubtful
if they viii last out the present sea-
son. It was admitted that in many
places the equipment of the com
pany for the heating plant was in
similar condition.
The declaration of the manager of
the company will be of interest to all
of the ninety customers of the plant in
Kenosha. No notice has been served
ON them shat the service is to be aba1-
doned since the recent decision of the
Wisconsin Railroad Commission which
directed the company to continue the
service. This order was indefinite and
it was understood that the commission
would later make investigations and
render some decision in regard to the
rebuilding of the system next year.
It is declared that the policy Of the
company in making requirements has
been outlined with the view that the
abandonment of the service will be an
n6unced early in the new year.
Attorneys who are. representing the
property owners with the heating serv-
ice in their homes. are ready to present
