Ten Kenosha Boys Aboard the Tus-
corora Declare They Are in Dire Need
of the s'Makin s.

That the tackles " believe that they
are entitled to some of the smokes that
are being lavished on the Sammies is
shown by letter which has been re-
ceived by the Evening News from ten
Kenosha boys who are aboard the rev.
enue cutter Tuscorora which is now on
war duty. The letter is dated Some

where in t. 9 Atlantic as the base is
Newport, Rhode Island. Chester A..
Isermann, son of the late Henry Iser-
mann, former chief of the fire depart
ment, is the premier signer of this
petition of the Jackies. In their petit
ton the buys say:
EFWe read. an issue of your paper
from the twelfth Of October stating
that Palica s cigar store was wiling to
furnish Uncle Sam s soldiers with to-
bacco.
FAs a special request from ten Ke-
nosha boys who are doing duty in the
u. S. Navy, we would like to say that
if at any time they have little to-
bacco left over and don It know where
to send it these ten boys will appreci-
ate it.
GIVE go out on cruises that keep us
out for weeks without seeing land and
there are times when our smoking to-
bacco runs out and not being able to
get ashore little extra on hand would
come in handy. Smoking tobacco is

NEW SHOW ROOMS
ARE OPENED TODAY
Greiner Nash Company Has Formal
Opening With Great Showing Of
Nash Cars at Park st. Garage.

At last Kenosha motorists may have
that look at the new Nash Six, for
which they have been waiting ever
since the first announcement last
September. Two of the new cars, the
five passenger touring car and five
passenger Sedan, may now be seen in
the show rooms of the Greiner- Nash
Company, 313-315 Park street
This is the first time the Nash
Motors Company new line of pas
senger cars has been represented in
Kenosha county. A very attractive
setting has been given the Nash Six
by the Greiner-Nash Company, the
salesroom having been entirely re-
decorated. Every effort has been
made to provide a splendid home
for Nash cars.
81 wanted to do justice to the new
car, for it is certainly beauty said
George Greiner, who resigned his posi-
tion as secretary of the Nash Motors
Company to become the local distribu-
tor. 'fIt will be real privilege to
show the Nash Six to any one inter
ested. / am very enthusiastic adj
mirer of our new product, as is every
one else who has seen or driven one
Of the cars. We shall be very glad to
show the many fine points Of the new
models, which are extremely good
value. 1t is needless to point out the
advantages Of buying a Nash Six with
out having any freight to pay, and Of
being close to the factory so that
splendid service is assured.
The Greiner- Nash Company is unusu-
ally we'll equipped to give prompt and
efficient service to owners of Nash and
Jeffrey passenger cars and trucks. A
complete line Of motor cars and trucks
will be handled, including a four
passenger roadster, five passenger tour
ing, five passenger Sedan, seven pas
senger model GIL, one ton truck, two
ton truck and the famous Nash Quad.
The three new models Of the Nash
Six are all equipped with the Nash
perfected valve-in-head motor that is
attracting so much attention all over
the country. This is an extremely
powerful motor, whose best feature is
it's unusual power. The ready response
to The throttle is accomplished by pro-
viding deep breathing facilities, that
is, ability to fill the cylinders quickly
an dcompletely with gas.
The Nash Six has very pleasing
lines, and is deep blue with cream
wheels. Around the top of the body
is a gold hair line. 1t is upholstered
in real leather and equipped with
speedometer and clock in addition
to the usual accessories.
Reasonably prompt delivery will be
made of all Nash models, according to
the Greiner-Nash Company. There is
every evidence that the Nash Six is
going to be the most popular car on
the road during the coming sea-
son, and this will be especially true
of Kenosha county.

POLICE TO OPPOSE RELEASE
spina Was Convicted in the Circuit
Court Here Four Years Ago This
Month After Bitter Fight Has
Been Model Prisoner at Waupun.

Frank Spina, Kenosha man convicted
on charges Of assault with intent to
murder, in the Circuit Iolsrt Of Keno
sha county on November /, 1913, and
sentenced to term Of eight years in
the state prison at Waupun, has ap-
pealed to the State Board of Control
for parole and his case is to be heard
by week from tomorrow. Spina has
served four years and nine days in the
state prison and the application for
parole bears the date Of the completion
Of just one-half of his sentence.
Spina was convicted of an attempt
to murder Police Officer John Cyzak,
now night sergeant of the Kenosha
police department., and the case was
one of the most sensational in the his
tory of crime in Kenosha. Cyzak was
shot and frightfully wounded but later
recovered. When Spina was arresed
after the shooting of the police Off
Ger, he had barricaded himself in a
second floor room Of a house over in
the Italian district of the city and a
number of police officers had been sent
to arrest him. Spina opened fire on the
officers as they came up the stairs to
break in the door. Cyzak showing
great bravery under fire led the posse
of officers and was battering away
at the door at the head Of the stairway
when a bullet from Spina's revolver
dropped him on the stairway.
Later Spina surrendered to other Off
cials. At the trial Spina declared that
he believed that he was about to be
assassinated. He declared that he had
been warned that he was to be killed
and that when the police officers came
to the house he feared that he was to
be attacked by enemies. He claimed
that he did not know that it was police
officers who were seeking to force their
way into the house and make the ar
rest. Cyzak was in the hospital for
many weeks.
Members of the police department
showed a desire to oppose the release
Of Spina today. t3That man should
serve the full term said one of the
police officers. eff he is released, a
lot of people will believe that they can
shoot up a police officer with impuni-
ty.' Alfred L. Drury, who was dis
trict attorney at the time Spina was
convicted, may be asked to appear in
Madison and state the cause Of the po-
lice officers in opposition to the parole
Of Spina. 1t is declared that since en-
tering the prison Spina has been a
model in every way. 1t is understood
that the prison officials have strongly
recommended the parole of the prison
er. Judge Belden has been asked to
make a statement to the State Board
Of Control in regard to the case and it
is expected that the board will be
largely guided in its decision by the
recommendation Of the presiding judge.

RECRUITS TO fight CHARGES
Federal Attorneys Coming to Kenosha
on November 22nd and Police Hope
full Understanding as to Conduct of
Sailors Can Be Secured Then.

The old question as to just how far
a man in the uniform of the United
States Navy is permitted to scott at
the civil law of cities, was raised in
the Municipal Court again this morn
ing when three recruits from the
United States Naval Station at Great
Lakes were arraigned on charges of
intoxication. All of them entered
pleas of not guilty and the hearings
were continued until November 22nd.
They gave cash bonds in the sum
of twenty-five dollars.
The men gave their names as p. L.
Dean, H. L. Gardner and A. H. Griffin.
They were arrested in front of the
Coliseum on Sheridan Road at half
past ten O'Clock Sunday night by Po-
lice officer Charles Amberlang, who
later was threatened by other men in
uniform and forced to draw his revol-
yer for his own protection. Amber
lang declares that the men were not
only intoxicated, but that they were
making disturbance on the streets,
that they and others of the party
were very abusive to him, and that
they had made threats to assault him.
These facts were all denied by the
three men under arrest. They asserted
that they had not been drinking dur
ing the evening and that they were
simply having little innocent fun on
the streets. The police assert that
the innocent fun was CROUCH
stuff" and that any citizen of Kenosha
who had attempted to do the same
thing would have been promptly
landed in Jail.
w. j. Frazier, who is looking after
the interest of the naval training boys
in Kenosha, offered bonds for them
but they were held until this morning,
The city was over-run by men from
the navy on Sunday and most of them
conducted themselves like gentlemen.
Some of them were noisy. A petty
officer had been sent up from the train
ing station to take care of the boys,
but the police officers insist that he
had part in the trouble on Sunday
night but they absolve him from
blame, declaring that after the men
had been picked up the petty officer
came to the police Office and apologized
for the part he had in the trouble.
Frazier, who gave bonds for the
three recruits, took them back to the
station this morning. He declared
that federal attorneys would be sent
to Kenosha to appear for them at
the adjourned hearing.
CT am hopeful that the federal at
torneys and Captain Moffett himself
will come to Kenosha at that time, =
declared Chief of Police o. Hare. 81
feel certain that the commanding Of
ficer is not properly advised in these
cases. We want to be patriotic and
all that, but our officers must insist
on maintaining order in Kenosha. We
cannot allow the boys from the station
privileges that are not accorded tt
civilians. / am certain that if Captain
Moffett is properly advised as to the
facts in this case that he probably
would have been of the opinion that
more members of the party should be
detained. We want the boys to come
to Kenosha and we want them to be
have like gentlemen. Many of them arr
welcome guests to the city every week
The others must behave or stay away

. Representative government naturally
implies that the man who is named to
office represent the majority of the
people of the state naming him. This
implies to United States Senator as
well as any other official. If Wisco1-
sin is so entirely forgetful of her duty
to the Union of the states as to pick
out Senator who would stick knife
in the back of the nation the sooner
the nation knows it the better. It's The
fact that these disloyalists are kept
under cover that makes them hard to

Gen. Crowder's Statement.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
issued the following statement:
"The QUESTIONABLE which is the basis
of the new system is collection of
questions bringing out the essential
facts upon which all classifcations are
made. 1t is the only printed form
which any registrant needs to use,
either in making claims or fling proof.
At first sight, it may seem little
formidable but reading of the ques-
tions shows that they are simple
enough for any person who can read
and write understandingly to answer.
The President s message lines up
the whole legal profession of the
United States as assistants of the Sc
lective service system and as impartial
advisors to registrants in filing out
their questionaires. Under the new
regulations a place is to be provided
convenient to every local board, where
registrants may go for free advice
and assistance in making out this
document.
Would Supply Lawyers.
"The county judge or other judicial
officer Of similar court is placed at the
head of committee of lawyers in each
vicinity and this committee is charged
with the duty of seeing that there are
always plenty of lawyers and other
volunteers present to help registrants
in filling out the QUESTIONABLE.
"Questionaires are to be mailed by
the local board to five per cent Of the
registrants each day. The principal
work of the legal advisory boards will
thus be over in twenty days, by which
time all the questionaires should be
returned to the boards. Every man
has seven days in which to return his
