Government I1dicts
BerryUille Onion King

W. J. Harsche, of Berryville, widely
known as the "Onion King" of this
section of Wisconsin, is named in an
Indictment voted, along with eighty
seven other indictments by the United
States grand jury at Botson on Thurs
day. Hansche has been one of the lead
ing producers Of onions in the country
and he has made Berryville one Of the
great centers of the onion supply.
United States District Attorney
George W. Anderson, in discussing
the indictments, said:
The gist Of the charge is that the
defendants have maintained a national
onion association, composed of large
onion dealers who buy up bulk Of
the onions Of the northern states dur
ing the summer and early fall, storing
them in warehouses owned or controlled
by the various members and putting

WOULD ENLIST m ARMY
Federal Officials Are Advised of Action
of Man Who Is Not Citizen and He
May Be Taken to U. s. Court
for Trial Later in the Week.


There may be a lot of slackers'' in
Kenosha, but the people Of the city
will not stand for insults to the
American flag. Frank Kosack, twenty
nine years of ago, who resides at the
European Hotel, found this out on Sun
day afternoon and he is now in the
city lookup waiting for the coming Of
federal officers who are expected to see
to it that his case is attended to
in the higher courts.
Kosack was talking loud in a Main
street saloon just before his arrest and
he broke out with fHTo hell with
the American fag.'' Standing Just
near him was G. DIETRICH of the hos
pital corps of the United States Naval
Training Station at Great Lakes and
in a second DIETRICH had taken issue
with Kosack while other people in the
saloon were calling thepolice. Police
Officer Rock went down and arrested
Kosack and took him to the police
office. Before he was confined in the
Jail Kosack was forced to make
a public apology. A great American flag
was brought out. "Now you get right
down on your knees and kiss that fago
was the order Of Secretary Meissner.
Kosack lost no time obeying the
order for there was crowd about. the
office which looked ugly and it looked
as if these people would be willing to
take the matter right into their own
hands. Then Kosack. began to plead
his loyalty. II am for the United
States,' he shouted out. elf thes-
want me to, I'll enlist in the army

right now Meissner brought out an
enlistment blank and told Kosack,
!" just sign itright on that line y Then
kosack crawfshed and declared that
ne was not citizen and that for this
reason he could no the enlisted. eff
you are not citizen you are at least
expected to keep your mouth shut, !"
was the statement of the police officer
as he ordered Kosacks taken down below.
The police department have the
names of many witnesses to the dis
loyal statements of Kosack and there
will be no trouble showing what he
said and done when the matter is TAX

them upon the market from September
to April. The government charges
that this association has had donin-
ating and illegal control of the onion
trade for the last three years.
"The government expects to show
that as early as September, 1916, at
least seventy-fye per cent of the year s
crop, then harvested, was in control of
the members of this association.
"For the 1916 crop the producers
probably received less than two cents
per pound. In mid-winter many of
these onions were sold to retailers and
through them to consumers at ten to
fifteen cents a pound. -

Hansche Pleads Ignorance
OF Onion Trust in Nation
Berryville Onion King Gives Out State
ment in Regard to Indictments
Voted in the u. s. Court.


W. J. Hansche Of Berryville, known
as the "onion king Of this section,
has given out statements in regard
to his recent Indictment by "a federal
grand jury at Boston in which he makes
strong plea of innocence to any wrong
doing. In his statement he says:
This is entirely new to me- There
is a National Onion Growers and
Shippers Association, of which I am a
member, but I do not know anything
about any attempt to monopolize the
onion business.
IT have been a member Of the as
ISOLATION since January, 1914. I have
attended several meetings and during
this time I have no knowledge of any
attempt having been made by the asso-
citation or any of its members to fix
prices on onions, either to buy or SELL
The objects of the association
have been to keep members informed
with regard to crop prospects and
conditions and production and quanti-
ties in storage.
So far as my personal knowledge
goes prices and methods of distribu-
tion were left with individual mem
bers at all times.
ION occount of the prevailing good
prices during the harvest time and the
early part Of the storage season, I had
my entire crop and holdings sold and
marketed during the fall months, being
entirely sold out before December l.
In conclusion, l have not the
slightest knowledge of any existing
combinations, either by members of the
association or otherwise, to control
prices or markets, and, therefore,
have nothing to Ifear from the
charges and indictments, as / am
perfectly innocent. =

The final drive is being made to re-

strength. Just fifteen more men are to
be privileged to serve under the ban
ner of Kenosha in home company of
the cavalry. Captain Coney is closing
up the books and getting ready to lead
his men away for service on June 18th
and up at the Coliseum, afternoon and
evening, he is busy taking care of the
final recruits. If any Kenosha man
wants to enlist for the cavalry his
enlistment must be made before the
registration a week from tomorrow
After the one hundred and FIVE men
have been enlisted the troop will
be subject to call at any time
between now and June 18th.
While the cavalry like the infantry
has the first great need of fighting
men" there is going to chance for a
few civilians to get into line with
Captain Coney and his men. The troop
needs a horse sheer and the pay of the
men who VOLUNTEER for this place will be
the same as that of sergeant.
