SOLD BOOZE
TO SAILORS
HOLLAND AND SHIVARS CON-
VICTED OF OFFENSE BUT NOT
YET SENTENCED-TWO MORE
ARE ARRESTED ON CHARGE.

In the prosecution of the case by
the United States against Jessie HOl-
land, alleging violation of the act of
congress prohibiting the sale of liquor
to mambers of the military forces of
the United States while in uniform,
an interesting point of law was
raised in defining the term military
forces" as used in the act.
John P. Stokes attacked the valid
ity of the information of the district
attorney against Holland as he claim
ed it was predicate1 on a stalate
which prohibited sale of LIQUOR to
members of the military Forces and
that the entire tone of the statute in
dictated that the term military
forces" was intended to apply only to
the army, and did not include the
navy.
In support of, this argument, Mr..
Stokes cited passages of the act
which conferred certain supplement
tary powers on the president as com
mander i'm chief of the "arry" and
on the secretary of war, which would
be in full force and effect in all
camps, forts, posts, cantonments"
and officers and enlisted mems clubs"
In doing this, it was attempted to
prove that the sole intention of con-
gress in passing the act was to reg
ulate the army and not the navy,
and that another bill had been pre-
pared to bring the navy under the
rules.
Judge Sheppard ruled that the two
fundamental branches of all govern
ment are the civil and military, and
that all forces not in the one, must,
of necessity, be in the other As the
navy is not a civilian force, it be-
longs to the other great division. At
torney General Gregory has already
construed the act to apply, to the
navy as we'll as the army.
Upon the question Of law being de-
cided the case went to trial, and the
jury returned a verdict against Jes-
sic Holland of guilty, as charged
A like verdict was returned against
J. NJ. Shivars on a similar charge.
Sentence will be pronounced later.
The maximum penalty is a year in
Jail and $1,000 fine.

FINDS MANS BODY IN BRUSH
Boy Attracted by Bark of Dog Comes
Across Corpse of Stranger by
Realistically Be Murder.

Hartford The finding of mans
body in clump of bushes beside the
road leading to Pike Lake, ne>r this
city, has aroused the sherif's Office to
thorough investigation.
The body was discovered by a boy,
attracted to the spot by the barking
of his dog, and had evidently lain there
several weeks. A large hole on the
left side of the skull told of violence.
Outside of coat, shoes and hat the
body was completely clothed.
A pair of automobile goggles was
found hanging on a bush just above the
body and leads the police to believe
that the man was murdered elsewhere
and carried to the deserted spot.
There was nothing in the pockets
but handkerchief bearing the initial
IN" and pearl handled knife.
No definite clew has been developed,
according to Sheriff Frank Schoen-
deck.

GUARDSMEN MAY GO SEPT. is
Wisconsin Troops Preparing to Depart
for Fort Mac Arthur, Texas.
Awaiting Official Order.

Camp Douglas - That Wisconsin
euardsmen on the state military reser-
walton here will entrain for Fort Mac
Arthur. the Waco, Texas, contonment,
on Saturday, Sept. Is, is the rumor
that is going me rounds although as
vet no official statement has been
made that gives backing to the story.
The fact that railroad congestion
has made difficult the movement OF
troops in every section of the country
is more than likely to delay the de-
parture for the south although 1t is
said that the Waco cantonment prac-
tically is completed and ready for the
troops occupation.
It is said that when the order to
move is given, one regiment will en-
train at time. AS result of confer
ences it is estimated that it will take
about 7SO cars to transport the troops
including 500 passenger cars, 100 bag
gage. cars and some 200 freight cars
The run to Waco takes Seventy-hve
hours from Milwaukee.

SEE LOWER COAL
FOR WISCONSIN
FIXING OF PRICES BY FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT WILL CHEAP
EN- FUEL I'M STATE.
TO LIMIT AMOUNT OF PROFIT
Public Affairs Board Investigating
Overhead and HauIage Expense.
Transportation from Mines to
Milwaukee $3.50 Per Ton.

Madison - The fixing of anthracite
coal prices at the mines by the fed
eraI government promises some relief
to the people of Wisconsin in coal
prices, according to information of the
Wisconsin Council of Defense. The
price to consumers will be little low
er. The limitation of the government
would indicate that prices will not be
higher as was feared by many.
The government figures at the
mines, long tons, are: Egg coal, $445;
stove coal, $40; pea coal, 81, where
mines are owned by the railroads
which haul direct to big consumers.
To Wisconsin users of coal the fol-
lowing figures can be added per ton.
according to, data compiled by the
council of defense: From the mines to
Buffalo, $175; docking at Buffalo, 20
cents: boat to Milwaukee, SO cents;
overhead in handling about, $1.5O;
profit, so cents, or total OF $3.50.
This would allow stove coal to sell IN
Milwaukee at $3.50.
The sale price may be even lower
than $3.50, for these figures are based
on the long ton of 2,24o pounds. The
short ton is 1000 pounds. If this one
tenth is deducted coal might sell In
Milwaukee at $40 per ton.
The state board of public affairs is
now conducting an investigation OF the
cost of handling coal in Wisconsin.
Secretary A. H. Melville, of the Wis
consin Council OF Defense, says that
in no case should overhead rates ex-
coed $3.50 per ton. The preliminary
investigation made by the board OF
public affairs showed an overhead OF
from S110 to $3.50. The question OF
what is a reasonable profit on coal has
not vet been determined. In some OF
the investigations made by the federal
and state government this pront was
found to be as high as ST ton ana
above. Men connected with the Coun-
Gil of Defense, however, think that 5O
cents a ton or below would be rea-
sonable profit One coal dealer IN
Madison handles 10000 tons OF coal a
year. This would give him a profit OF
$4,000 above his overhead expenses.
Some time ago Gov. Philip lndl-
Gated that after the federal govern
ment had fixed the price at the mines.
the state would fix the price at which
coal would be sold in Wisconsin. II
a limitation is placed upon the amount
of profits that can be made by local
dealer, coal prices will be much lower.
If the coal is to be transferred into
the state, freight rates must be added
to the figures above. From the lake
ports to Madison, for example, the
freight is $1.25 a ton.

FARMERS ARE HOLDING EGGS
State Council of Defense Concerned
over Dairy Situation - Expect
Big Raise in Milk Price.

Madison-State milk and dairy prod
uct dealers will probably appear before
the State Council of Defense to discuss
their situation with the state food ad-
ministrator The council is much Wor-
ried over the large amount OF milk
which is being used for the cendensa-
ries Milk is likely to advance IN price
between three and four dollars hum
dred pounds during the next few
months and will be at such prohibltlye
prices that it may be almost a table
luxury. At least this is the statement
of milk buyers for cheese factories and
creameries.
The condensarieS are obtaining a
monopoly in every section where they
locate and as result several creamer-
les have had to close in the central
part of the state simply because they
could not compete in the purchase OF
milk. Butter men have written to the
council asking that it take cognizance
of the question and that steps be taken
to assist them in obtaining milk.
The egg situation is also in serious
condition and it is almost impossible
to purchase eggs in several communi-
ties. The farmers themselves are put
ting the eggs in liquid glass and re-
fuse to sell for fear of famine. They
hope to get from sixty cents to one
dollar dozen for the eggs which they
are preserving. There is scarcely a
cold storage dealer who has at the
present time a normal supply of eggs
and large restaurants in the cities are
making contracts for their winter sup
ply. These contracts will practically
exhaust the cold storage supply and
it is therefore likely that the individual
consumer will have great difficulty in
buying even cold storage. eggs during
the early winter months.

COURTS TO DECIDE
0CONTO RAIL CASE
STATE RAILROAD COMMlS SiON
FILES FIRST DISSENTING
OPINION.
INJUNCTION BEING SOUGHT
Menasha Woodenware Company Seeks
Permit to Restrain construc-
struction Of Spur Track
to Logging Property.

Madison-The first dissenting opinion
to be fled by the railroad commission
was recorded recently in the case OF
the Oconto company for the right to
build spur track across property
owned by the Menasha WoOdenware
company adjacent to logging property.
The question is of such Importance that
although a majority of the commission
ordered the spur track constructed on
the Kingston branch Of the Northwest
ern system the matter mas been taken
into the courts.
An order has been sought in circuit
court by the Menasha Woodenware
company for an injunction restraining
the Oconto company and the North
western railroad from constructing
the spur track in question.
When the matter was given a hear
ing Commissioner Trumbower was
against extension of the spur. So far
as the record shows this is the first
time that railroad commissioner has
filed a dissenting opinion. The Wis
consin Northern Railroad company is
also protesting against the railroad
commissions order. 1t contends that
the spur track would tap territory
covered in the proposed route of their
railroad.
The whole case is so complicated
that the attorney generals Office in
Inmates it may take some time to
thresh the matter out in the courts.
The Menasha company has asked for
a restraining order effective Sept. /.

WANTS TO BE EXEMPT
Fer He "PILOTS" PUPILS

of District No 1 has come
across a new one in the way
of claims.

ed under the draft law, asked
for exemption on the grounds OF
being a pilot" knowing that
seamen are exempt under one OF
the provisions of the selective
act.
He was asked several ques-
tons regarding nautical terms,
and not being able to answer
them, was asked how he could
claim exemption as a marine
pilot. He replied that he looked
up the word pilot In the dictlon-
airy and found that it means
lone who guides others" and be-
ing a school teacher, he felt that
Z he should be excused from serV-
ing in the army.
Needless to say he was certl-
fed up for service.

SOLDIERS CANNOT BE SUED
Owen Informs Holway That Men En-
listed in U. S. Service Are Exempt
from Civil Procedure.

Madison - Attorney General Owen
has advised Adjutant General HOlway
that under the new law passed at the
last session of the legislature, men en-
listed in the United States military
service are exempted from civil pro-
cess for a period of three years or dur
ing the term of their service, if less
than three years. The adjutant general
received letters from a number of men
in the federal military service, enlisted
from Wisconsin, that creditors have
threatened to levy on their real and
personal property to secure payment
of debts owned by the enlisted men.
The attorney general advised that no
civil action can be brought against the
Wisconsin men in the military service
during the three-year period or the
service prescribed in the new law.
One soldier wrote saying that he had
bought a home under a land contract,
and was unable to meet payments in
full and the man whom he bought the
pro; cry threatentd to take the proper
ty away from him in accordance with
the terms of the contract.
Another soldier wrote saying that he
had given mortgage on some real es-
tate which he owned and was unable
to make the payments stipulated in
the contract and that the party own
ing the mortgage threatened to fore
close and have the land sold for the
payment of the mortgage. The attor-
ney general said that such civil act
tons could not be maintained against
Wisconsin men in the military service.
