Governor Philipp Returns.

Milwaukee, Dec. 24.-Gov. E. L.
Philip returned from the annual con-
ference of governors, held this year at
Annapolis, Md. The conference lasted
three days and the governor reports
that q large number of subjects were
considered but were simply discussed
and no attempt to formal decision
was made. On the way back to Mil
waukee the governor stopped off at
Camp Sherman, O., for a days visit
with his eldest daughter, who is
nurse in the camp hospital there. '"The
Seventh regiment, organized after the
Wisconsin National Guard was called
into the federal service, will be con-
tinued," said the governor, when asked
if Wisconsin would follow the exam
pie of Nebraska and muster out the
home, or state guard. "The regiment
is not part of the National Guard,
but was organized under the state mi
litia law and could not be called out
side of the boundaries of Wisconsin,
in which respect it of course differs
from the National Guard. There is
no intention of dispensing with the
service of the state guard, or militia,
as at present organized"

Madison, where it had been sold to
Henderson & Baldwin, dealers in Sec
ond-hand cars. The car had been sold
for 5000 and from the description given
by the people who bought the car and
the banker who cashed the check, our
local police were satisfied that the car
had been stolen by local talent, though
the man who sold the car gave his
name as j. Hoffman. The more the
matter was looked into the more salts
fled were the police that Hugh James,
a young man from this city, had stolen
the car and sold it. AS he was out of

RAIL BODY STUDIES PHONES

Madison, Dec. 24.-The railroad
commission has been making a very
careful and detailed study of the tele-
phone service throughout the state OF
Wisconsin. During the period OF the
war the large numbers of operators
called to other lines of activity natu-
rally reduced the quality of the serv-
ice The commission has been aware
of this fact, but has felt that the COM
panies were unable to apply the prop
er remedy without perhaps harming
other lines of industry in way that
would not be to the interest of all con-
cerned. Since the signing of the arm
istice conditions have improved slight
ly, but the commission felt that it
should make a careful study of the sit
uatiOn to ascertain whether the i'm
provementS being made were common
surate with the necessity. 1t is well
known by all that telephone service,
as well as all other business activities,
has not been as efficient during the
last year and the public are interested
to know whether the same aggressive
attention to efficiency is now being ex-
ercised as had been prevalent before.
With this in view, a conference was
held at the Office of the commission
for the purpose of canvassing thor
eughly the general situation and for
the purpose of determining whether
reasonable progress was being made in
returning to normal standards of serv-
ice insofar. as the Wisconsin Tele-
phone company was concerned. The
rules laid down by the commission in
1914 as to what should constitute
standard telephone service have been
very generally adopted as reasonable
and as a matter to be depended upon.
In attendance at this conference were
III. @. Seymour, general manager; f. &.
Chandler, traffic superintendent f. NJ.

and T. n. Moore, district manager for

How to Recognize chapIaIns.

The war department has again
changed the insignia for chaplains,
and again the cross will give way TO
the shepherds crook, which was the
chaplain'S insignia up to 1898. Under
the former regulations Jewish chap
lalns in the service had the option of
wearing the cross or dlscarding the
Insignia altogether. Representatives
of the organizations Of Jewish rabbits
protested that an insignia could be
found which would be symbolic and
free from criticism Of believers in any
creed and that the adoption OF the
crook would obviatc all controversy on
this subject. The size and design
Of the crook are now under consider
alton and will be announced at an
carly date, but 1t Is said that no reg
ulaiion will be made requiring a chap
lain TO wear any insignia.
The only chaplain Of the Jewish
faith in the navy says that he is sat
isied with the naval insignia and has
made no application for a change.
