RATE HEARING
is ON AT MADISON
City Attorney John G. Slater Repre-
sents Kenosha at Hearing to
Boost Electric Rates.

The Wisconsin Railroad Commission
at its offices in Madison today, took
up the hearing of the petition of the
Wisconsin Gas and Electric Company
and affiliated companies for an in
crease in electric rates for the period
of the war. Kenosha has not officially
filed any protest against the proposed
wartime surcharge."
By orders of the Common Council,
City Attorney John G. Slater was sent
to Madison to look after the interests
of the city in this matter. 1t is de
clared that many of the people of Ke-
nosha have declared themselves in fav-
or of an increased rate for the COM
,pany during the period of the war
through the referendum vote arranged
by the company.
Thirty-four cities and villages Of the
state are interested in the hearing and
it is expected that an early decision will
be handed down by the commission.

ADVISORY BOARD
TURNS OUT SOLDIERS
Many Report Today to Have Question
naires Given the Sanction at
Kenosha Attorneys.

Kenosha's class of 1918 began to
register for service Monday morning
when more than forty of the men who
registered at the June 5th registration
gathered at the council chamber Of the
City Hall to fill out their questionnaires.
More than score of the Kenosha at
torneys had volunteered their services
to aid the f'boys" in answering the
questions asked by the government. 1t
was noticeable that only few of the
men who came to sign the question
naires had any claim for exemption and
a lot of them were ready and willing
to go into the service at once. These
questionnaires will all be returned to
the local board within week and the
work of classifying the men viii go
forward at once. The men will I'M
doubtedly get early service in the army
and it is not improbable that all of
them will be called under the draft by
the middle of November.

William Johnson Of Win
throp Harbor Was Man
Terribly Mangled on the
Electric Line June II.
WIDOW IDENTIFIES Nat

The mystery which surrounded the
identity of the body Of man,
mangled beyond Identification, picked
up along the tracks of the Chicago
North Shore and Milwaukee Electric
Railway on the night Of June 18th last,
was solved on Monday evening when
it was established that the man killed
was William johnson, fifty years old
former resident of Kenosha but more
recently a resident of Winthrop Har-
bor His widow and two daughters
went to the Hansen undertaking par
lors on Monday evening and positively
identified clothing and other trinkets
taken from the body of the man as
belongings of their husband and father.
Billy Johnson as the deceased
was know to his friends was widely
known in Kenosha and Kenosha county.
He was son of the late Charles john
son, a pioneer resident Of the first
ward. He was formerly employed as
driver at the old Kupfer livery stable
and later he worked in a similar ca
pacity for Frank Nelson but for years
he had made his home near Winthrop
Harbor and had been connected with
one of the industries at that village.
Johnson left his home on the after
noon OF June 18th. Nothing was ever
heard of him after that time until his
widow identified the hat and other
personal belongings at the morgue on
Monday evening. When he left the
house at Winthrop Harbor he had
picked up a hat belonging to his son
Robert johnson and this furnished the
cleW to his identity. Mrs. johnson had
been hoping against hope that her
husband would return but when she
heard of the fatal accident on the
electric road she decided to come to
Kenosha and make an investigation.
The body of johnson was buried as
g John Doe in the Green Ridge Gene
terry several days after the accident but
arrangements will be made to have it
removed to the johnson family plot.
Billy Johnson had lot of friends
in Kenosha and in the country about
Winthrop Harbor and to these people
the announcement of his tragic death
will come as a personal sorrow. He
is survived by his widow and several
children all living at the home at Win
throp Harbor.

MONEY TO The RED CROSS
Enters Plea of s'No1e Contendere''-
Members of tne Governing Body
Fix His Penalty by Ballot and
Get Prompt Payment.

Nathan Gordon, Main street retail
liquor dealer paid one of the highest
fines" ever assessed in the enforce
ment of excise rules and regulations
in Kenosha on Monday evening when
he turned over to the Kenosha Branch
of the Red Cross check for 1886, the
penalty imposed upon him for selling a
half pint bottle of liquor over the
bar.
Gordon is member of the Keno
sha Detail Liquor Association and as
such was one of the men to agree to
the pledge against selling liquor in bot
ties. 1t was alleged to members of the
association that he had violated the
regulation against bottle sales and he
was called before the executive body
of the association on Monday to enter
a defense.
The meeting of the board was secret
but it is admitted by members of the
board that Gordon while not admitting
that he had violated the FFHonor
pledge" made statement that he was
willing to pay. The members of the
board held him guilty of violating the
regulation and proceeded to fix the
penalty. 1t was agreed that the pen
atty should be paid to the Red Cross
and the members of the executive board
were instructed to ballot on the amount
Of it. The ballot ran between $500
and $75 and an average was taken
which fixed Gordon s penalty at 1886.
The members of the board assessing
this record fine included Peter R.
Schmitt, Charles Wallig, George Fis-
cher, Jr., James W. Rose, Matt Kirar,
Alex Ritter, M. D. Schmitt, Peter
Neidl and ]. R. Gottfredsen.
GIVE want it understood" said one
of the members of the executive board
following the action, "that all members
of this association violating the regula-
tions adopted will be treated in the
same manner. Men who do not live up
to their pledges must pay and pay
heavily. There will be no lenieney
shown to any one. A violation of the
law will bring prompt action and we
have been assured that the city coun-
Gil will stand firmly behind the exc
cutive board in the enforcement of
penalties.
After Gordon had paid the penalty
to the Red Cross and the check was
in the hands of the Mayor the city
council voted him license for the new
year. 1t is declared that the license
would have been held up had the fine
not been paid.
The action is unique in the history
of the liquor business and it has done
much to show the people of Kenosha
that the members of the local retail
liquor dealers association are going to
insist that regulations made be strictly
adhered to.

May Improve Macadam Roads.

The street committee brought a
unanimous recommendation to the coun-
Gil for the improvement of all the
macadam roads in the second ward of
the city. The plan provides for the
scarifying of the streets and a surface
of sheet asphalt. The report was ac-
copied without division of the city and
contracts for the work will be let just
as soon as the city is assured that it
can secure the materials necessary for
the work. The question Of division of
cost has not as yet been worked out,
but it is expected that the cost will be
in the neighborhood of four dollars per
front foot and the property owners will
probably be assessed for one-half of
this cost with the payments spread
over a period of five years. This plan
would put these roadways into an ex.
cellent condition.
