MAY PROSECUTE
ON PERJURY CHARGE
Men Seeking to Get Into the Army
are Alleged to Have Fa1siied in
Regard to Dependents.

The most unusual story that has de-
veloped IN connection with the muster
ing in of the national army in Keno
sha, came today when Attorney John
G. Slater, who is attorney for the ex-
emption board, declared that it was
prosecute for perjury men who had
made false statements in regard to
claims for entrance into the army.
The strange part of it IS that these
are men who have not claimed exemp-
tions. Tt is asserted that the men
have made false fsffidavits in that
they failed to state that they
had dependents.
In one case man who claimed no
exemption from army service and who
claimed that he had no dependents, is
found to have a wife and large
family of children. The wife has pro
tested against the husband being in
Quoted into the army without proper
provision being made for her support
and the support of their children.
Three other similar cases have been
brought to light. "These men want
to go to the army, declared Attorney
Slater "but the Investigations which
we have made would indicate that they
should be exempted and left at home
to take care of people dependent on
them. They will be called to explain
just why they made false statements
in the return of the QUESTIONABLE and
it is possible that prosecutions for per
jury will follow.

MAY CALL HALT FOR
FAIR" CONDUCTORS
Kenosha Interested in the Hearing
Before Labor Commission on
Hours for Women Conductors.

Kenosha's "fair'' street railway
conductorettes may be called to halt
or at least half-step. Just the time
that they are getting well acquainted
with the work and only one has had a
chance to distinguish her self for ex-
ceptional service the State Industrial
Commission may draw the line as to
how long they may be legally employ
ed. This was made clear recently in
a letter to Secretary Conrad Shearer
of the Manufacturers Association
from E. E. Witte, secretary of the
industrial commission.
This communication states that the
commission has decided to conduct a
hearing on the hours of labor of women
employees of transportation utilities,
particularly street car lines. This
hearing will be held in the state
capitol at Madison on Saturday be-
ginning at ten in the morning. The
commission will at that time receive
testimonies from any party interested
in regard to the proper limitation
of the hours of labor of women EN-
ployees on the street car lines.
Kenosha conductorettes appeared
this morning to take little interest in
the affair. In fact, in spite of the
implication contained in the call for
the hearing, they maintained that
they were as good as men and some
times a good deal better.

HAS NO APOLOGY
FOR VOLUNTEERING
Lloyd z. Basteen, Now Classed as De-
serter, Writes EXPLANATION to His
Kenosha Friends.

NCuOCl1d < 44C44QOs
Lloyd X. Basteen, member of Bat
terry "E'', 12Oth Artillery, does not
like to be called classified deserter =
even though the appellation emanates
from local CONSUMPTION board. Pri-
vate Basteen in an interesting letter to
the Kenosha Evening News, in which
he declares that his only fault has been
that he volunteered for service for
which he will not apologize, sets forth
the defense of many of the Kenosha
soldiers who have been placed ON the
delinquent list.
"Upon leaving Kenosha'' writes the
artilleryman, "on July 23rd, as only
a volunteer in Troop r., First Wiscon-
sin Cavalry, along with the rest of
the boys was given to understand that
the local board had list of our names,
in case that we should be lucky enough
to fall among those called by the draft.
Since then some of these boys have re-
ceived draft papers and questionnaires
but many of us did not and have there
fore not had the least suspicion that we
were drawn with. the Honor Men,.
Now if the board will be kind enough
to forward QUESTIONABLE, as we re-
fuse to apologize for having volunteered
/ and the rest of US, will be glad to fill
them out and have our names removed
from said list of Classified Desert
ers.
Members of the local boards admit
that it "goes against the grain" to
publish volunteer as delinquent or
deserter but they also say that "rules
are rules" and they have no choice. 1t
is an explanation that will clear up
several cases in Kenosha.

MRS. HELEN METER ASKS DIVORCE
Bill in Municipal Court Charges FIGs-

Desertion

Through her attorney, Calvin Stew
art, Mrs. Helen Meier filed suit in

divorce from her husband, Ricahrd G.
Meier. The couple had been married
and divorced before and the last mar
riage took place at Waukegan on Sep.

wise by the court. The case will be
heard at an early term of the Munich

Sure some one had to be the "goat'
and why not Garfield? He is not credit
ed with having any Presidential aspira-
tions. Of course if this order had been
issued by the Director General of the
Railways it would have been mighty
hard handicap in the next campaign.
Political settlements usually follow &C
acknowledgement of incompetency. Pos
sibly the American people before the
end Of five days will be able to prop
erly fix the blame. It does not make
a great deal of difference to the men
out of employment now who made the
order and whose negligence made the
order necessary. 1t may mean lot
more to them when some men come up
for political preferment later on.

The enemy submarine which has been
foolng about off the coast of Texas is
taking chances. Those Texans have
been under fire so many times that they
are just about the best qualified people
in the country to shoot quick and shoot
true. Possibly the submarine will keep
far enough away from the shore line
to be out of the range of the Texas
Rangers.

Congress has allowed the President
to have his way pretty generally when
