HOMECOMING
CELEBRATION
RETURNED SOLDIERS TO BE
HONORED BY MADISON
SEPTEMBER 1S

Madison is soon to have one grand
bigday in honor of all returned SOL
diers and sailors. The date for this
event is September Is. On that occa-
sion it is hoped to have present sew
eral hundred of the boys who went
to the front and to the training
camps, together with their friends
and neighbors, for the reason that an
elaborate program has been provided
The committee on home coming
has been busy the past two weeks
casting about for attractions that will
really interest all, and their labors
have not been in vain. The city will
be gaily dressed out in flags and
bunting and a cordial welcome is ex-
tended to the whole countryside.
Come out and do the boys proud
think what they did for you!
Music for the even will be fur
nished by two bands-our own munic-
ipal organization and a band from
Wat 20 ertown. Music, plenty of it, all
day long, and free rides for all on
the merry-go-round that has been en-
gagged. This is only a part Of the
celebrations pleasures that will keep
everybody happy and interested.
AT first it was desided to have all
sports and speechmaking, but a
change in plans has madeit possible
for the ex-soldiers and their friends
to hear one of our prominent state
officials, Lieut-Governor McMasters.
A platform will be erected on Egan
avenue and from there the gathered
crowds will be addressed.
Chief among the events planned for
Homecoming day will be aerial stunts
by Lieut.. Burke, who comes here
from the Omaha flying field His
nose spins and loops will be thrill
ers from start to finish. He is en-
gagged for three flights, weather per-
mitting, one at one o'clock, another
at and the last at 1880.
Besides the aerial performances a
set of vaudeville acts are TO be put
on for entertainment. Trick BIZ
cyclists and trapeze artists are sched-
uled for nine performances, all of
which will occur in the open, where
all may see.
At p. IN. on the 18th the Safety
First and Winfred ball teams will
cross bats at the ball park located at
the south end of Egan avenue.
Remember that everything is free
| to the soldiers.
At the close of the program big
| dance will be held on the street paw
ing, the music to be furnished by the
| two bands present that day. A plan
is now under way to provide the ex-
soldiers and their families and sweet
hearts with dinner and supper, not q
hand-out of dry bread and stale
cheese, but a fine, full-sized meal
the kind that fills and satisfies.
Come to Madison on the 18th ol
September If you wish to have real
| good time and at the same time show
your appreciation for the Lake coun,
| ty boys who helped put the crimp in
| the Hun.

Seized in Chicago

Chicago, Sept 5.-United States
District Attorney Clyne has ordered
200 tons of sugar, which was seized
by federal agents, put on the market
for sale at price lower than 13 cents
a pound. The sugar was sold by j.
Aaron Co., New York, to a local firm
for $13 hundred pounds, but Mr..
Clyne said he would order a refund
of the purchase price and force the
Aaron company to sell at a low fig
ure.
"Our evidence shows that the
Aaron company purchased the sugar
at $3.50 a hundred pounds" said Mr..
Cline. "We hold that this is a pure
case of profiteering and have so in
formed the district attorney of New
York city"

Would Drop War
Tax on "MOvies"

Aberdeen, Sept. SC. w. Gates,
Of the Strand theater at Aberdeen, is
state chairman of moving picture
theater managers organization hay
ing for its purpose the procuring OF
the abolition of the war tax on ad-
missions to motion picture theaters.
Mr.. Gates Will appoint district chair
men for every congressional district
in the state, and concerted move
ment will be put under way to induce
congress to repeal the tax on admis-
sions, on the ground that motion pic
ture shows are already taxed on their
films and seating capacity of their
show houses, and the admission tax,
although falling on the patrons in
stead of the managers, is an addi-
tional burden on the industry which
they feel is unwarranted

The purchasers do not want their
money back, brit want the lots, and
accordingly have secured the services
of an attorney in an effort to force
the townsite company to give them
valid titles to the lots. 1t is believed
the action of the townsite company

CITY UNDER MARTIAL LAW
Union Men Wearing Uniforms Are
Ordered TO Don Civilian
Clothes

Gary. Ind, oct 6--Major Gen.
Leonard Atwood, in command Of
1000 Federal troops from Fort Sheri-
dan. arrived in Gary at SIS o'clock
tonight to take charge of the strike
situation in the Gary district and
shortly afterward State Adjt. Gen.

ernor Goodrich of Indiana and Gener-
al Wood, declared martial law with
in a radius of five miles OF East
Chicago, Ind.
General Wood, following two-hoU
conference with the Gary authoritiet
and strike leaders, issued proclama-
ton at 1O:45 o'clock placing the city
under martial law. His first act was
to forbid ex-soldiers among the strik-
ers to wear the uniform of the army
The Federal troops are part of the
famous Fighting 4th Division
which saw service in France and were
rushed to Gary from Fort Sheridan
in auto trucks, at the request of Gov
ernor Goodrich of Indiana,
They were called out after thous-
ands of the steel strikers had resort
ed to tactics which threatened to end
in a serious outbreak.
No disturbances occurred during
the early part of the day, but at noon
pickets began pouring out into the
streets by hundreds. AS taunt to
the four companies of Indiana reserve
militia, scarcely 800 strong, several
hundred ex-soldiers among the strik-
ers donned their uniforms and walked
the streets displaying pickets badges.
The strikers were distinguishable
from the soldiers only by the rifles
which the latter carried. The pickets
in some portions of the city, attempt
ed to organize in semblance of mill
tary formation and in some instances
attempts were made to pick fights
with the soldiers on duty
When the crowds began to openly
ieer and hoot the militia Mayor
Hodges hurriedly outlined the situa-
tion to Governor Goodrich by tele
phone and the Governor called for the
Federal troops.
The motor column passed through
Chicago at o'clock and reached Gary
about 9 O'Clock tonight.
The news of the coming Federal
troops had a quieting effect upon the
strikers.
Tension has been increasing since
the arrival of the militia last night.
Today crowds of strikers swarmed
the streets in anticipation of further
troubles.
