No ACTION NDW ON
CITIZENS PETITION
CITY COUNCIL PERMANENTLY TIA.
BLES COMPLAINT OF TAXPAY-
ERS on WALKERS MOTION.
DOGS MAY RUN FREE.

The city council at it's meeting last
Tuesday night voted to indefinitely
lay on the table the petition Of a
number of business men of the
city asking for reconsideration Of the
counclIs action on day and night po-
lice
Alderman Walker stated that after
getting advice locally and from Mad
lson he was convinced that the previ-
Gus action Of the council was legal. He
therefore moved that the petition be
tabled indefinitely The motion car
rled with one dissenting vote-that of
Croft.
An ordinance relating to the keep
ing OF dogs on owners premises and
not allowing them to run at large
was voted down by all present.
Fire crackers may snap and other
explosives boom on the Fourth by mo-
ton OF the council acting on a query
OF John Mankel who sells fireworks.
The council moved that road laws
governing use of automobiles be
strictly enforced. The street corner
posts will remain as before although
they have received numerous knocks
and all drivers must heed their silent
rules.
A complaint Of property owners
regarding Interstate oil tanks was
heard. Compliments feared that fire
or lightning might cause disaster to
property lying below the tanks. The
matter was thoroughly discussed and
then tabled.
In regard to the police matter Dus-
tin Pierce employed at a salary of
$50 per month as night watch volun-
tarily agreed to accept a salary of
$40 the same being paid to John Tay-
lor, the former officer. This does
away with at least one contended
point against the new system.

Twelve arrests UP to last Wednes-
day night marked the action of the
U. 5. MarshaPs Office taken on the

eral grand jury at Superior, under
the espionage act. Perhaps the most
prominent man arrested was Judge

counts against the ledge" are based
upon remarks alleged to have been
MADE before the Green county board

Among the statements charged to
Judge Becker are: that the fuel short
age was ridiculous; that the alleged
shortage OF food was equally ridicu-
lous; that the war with Germany was
a rich mans war; that men seeking
higher salaries instigated the war;
that the alleged shortage of seed in
Green county was false; that the
farmers should disregard statements
sent out by the government and that
they should not pay excessive war
taxes.
Becker stated some time ago that
he intended to run for governor and
fully endorsed La Follette's views.
He was released on $4,000 bail.
Former Assemblyman F. x. Schill-
ing, town of Cassel, Marathon county,
was arrested on Monday by United
States Marshal P. OConnor on a
charge Of aiding selectmen to make
false replies to questions in filling
out their missionaries. He also is
charged with having been too liberal
as member Of a local board, in
granting claims for exemption from
military service.
Schilling is teacher and farmer.
He formerly was president of the
Marathon County Telephone company
and for one year was treasurer of the
G. c. G. Germania, benevolent So
ciety.
Heinrich Williams, a resident of the
village of Marathon, also was arrest
ed on Monday and taken to Madison
to answer to a charge of having made
an alleged threat to shoot President
Wilson.
Woman Is Arrested.
1t was on a charge of a similar ma
ture that Mrs. A. E. Gebert, wife of
prominent merchant at Milladore,
Wood county, was arrested and re-
leased on, bail of $4,000.
Gustave Sternburg, Wausau, also
indicted by the grand jury on eighteen

service act.

FOOD CONSERVATION

A bulletin to the Herald states that
wheat conservation is extremely i'm
portant. The estimates place about
100000 bushels of wheat on hand
to last until harvest. The actual
needs not allowing for the allies are
120,000,000 bushels. From this will be
seen the urgency for wheat conserva-
ton.
Dealers handling binding twine are
allowed 2 cents a pound cash or 21A
cents a pound time. Farmers are
urged to place their orders early.
Mondays and Wednesdays of each
week are wheatless Gays. One wheat
less meal a day must continue to be
observed.
The food administration has moth
ing to do with wool as the Wool Di-
vision Of the War Industries board
has this in hand. The prices will be
fixed in accordance with July Both,
1917 values at Atlantic seaboard mar
ketS.
