.HANLEY is CITED
FOR HIS BRAVERY
DR.. w. J. HanIey Is Cited
Tor Bravery in
Belated Orders.
SAVED MANY LIVES

Kenosha today had an addition
made to its list of sons who won cita-
tions for service overseas in the Great
War, when word reached this city that
DR.. W. J. Hanley, captain in the
Medical Corps Of the 32nd Division,
was cited for his bravery under fire in
caring for the wounded in the battle
of the Argonne Forest. The citation,
which is from the headquarters Of
General Pershing, like all citations
from American headquarters, was be-
lated and arrived shortly after the
citation of Colonel Carl Penner, the
commander of the s2nd Division.
1t is probable that some further
recognition of the courage Of the
Kenosha doctor will be made later as
has been the case in various citations
made by the American officers.
Sawed Many Lives.
The words of the citation were "for
untiring care and evacuation of the
wounded under she'll fire undoubtedly
saving many lives" They referred to
the deeds done by the Kenosha doctor
when he was in charge Of Ambulance
Company No. 1875 "the Hard Luck
Gang of the A.EF" when they fol
lowed the American soldiers over the
top and cared for the wounded under
she'll fire. There were days and days
Of the hazardous work and the cita-
ton declares that both officers and men
never flinched under fire.
The dangers which they underwent
is shown by the fact that they had
eleven members off the unit killed
and seventeen wounded, the largest
number Of casualties for any nom
combatant unit during the drive
Mentioned similarly in the citation
was Capt. Sergeant, Milwaukee ply
stefan, who with Captain Hanley, alter
mated in taking command Of the unit
while they were picking up the
wounded and sending them back along
the line Of painted white posts.
Was First to Volunteer.
DR.. Hanley was one of the first
Kenoshans to enter the service in
April, 1917. After volunteering fol
service just after the war was de-
clared, he examined the boys of Com
pany NJ while waiting for orders tc

COMB CITY FOR
YELLED WOMAN
Mysterious Prowler Figures in Rob
berry at the Kubec Home
on Tuesday Night.

"A mysterious prowler in skirts IS
being sought by the local police in
connection with rumored robbery
on Exchange street shortly before
midnight on Tuesday evening. The
woman or man in woman's garb, is
supposed to have been connected with
an attempt to enter the A. J. Kubec
home at 473 Durkee avenue.
The first alarm of the mysterious
incident was given by Mr.. Kubec.
Hearing someone in the rear of his
home he fred shot to attract the
attention of patrolmen. Officer Ohm
stead, who was near the scene at the
time, heard the shot and investigated.
Subsequently officers Amberlang and
Schnlitt were called and made sec
ond tour of the premises. Finding
no evidence Of burglary they returned
to the station.
Shortly after this time pedestrian
on Exchange street saw what seemed
to be woman skulking in the shadow
Of the shrubbery along the sidewalk
near the residence of G. M. Young. AS
he approached, the figure crossed the
street very casually and walked on
down Exchange street.
Little Importance was attached to
the incident until the affair at the
Kubec home was reported early this
morning. Then the episode was con
nected with the rumored robbery
and became evidence for the police
department.
Accordingly Chief of Police O'Hare
is now seeking more data on the man
or woman in black whose capture may
solve the mystery of several recent
burglaries in Kenosha.

City Engineer B. G. Brennan has re-
duced to easy figures the proposed cost
of the street paving now being consid-
cred by the councils street assessment
committee under the bids opened on
last Friday. He admits that it does
not mean much to tell property own
err that street paving is to cost him
$4.39 a square yard so he has figured
out the entire cost and has shown just
what it means for front foot.
On Prairie avenue, if the council
should elect to accept the lowest Of
the bids now before it, the cost for
street paving for fifty foot lot would
be $508, or $16.10 per front foot. The
same costs would prevail on Pine
street. When the estimate of the cost
of paving was made it was figured that
the cost per front foot on these streets
would, be $40. This shows how far
the bids are above the estimates. Of
course it is understood that each side
Of the street must pay the same so
that the total cost for a fifty foot
stretch would be $1,016. Here are
some of the. front foot costs for the
other streets.
Asphalt Costs Lower.
On Tanck avenue the front foot cost
If paved with asphalt would be $3.50
and with brick S7.73, as compared
with an estimate of 1854. On Vic
toria street the cost for asphalt IS
$500 and for brick $10.16 as COM
pared with an estimate of $40. The
cost for South Chicago street under
the bids now under consideration
would be $3.50 a front foot for asphalt
and S9.16 for brick as compared with
the estimate of $6.22 per front foot.
On. Newell street the cost for asphalt
paving under the bids would run to
S7.25 a front foot for asphalt and
S7.73 for brick where the estimate was
but $500. On Charles street and Ra-
cine avenue the proposed cost for a
brick pavement is S9.08 as compared
with the estimate of 1852.
The asphalt pavements are far above
the estimate of the engineers. On
Edward and Grover street the cost
would be $500 a front foot as COM
pared with an estimate Of $3.50, while
on Brockett street the cost if the bids
are accepted would be S8.49 and on
Wescott street the cost would be
S5.O5 a foot with an estimate of S3.49
Expect People to Balk Action.
It is said. that the property owners
on Charles street desire to have the
pavement go forward even with the
costs which have been announced but
it is thought that the great majority
Of the property owners will object to
the payment Of front footage from
twenty to thirty per cent above the
estimate given. The city officials do
not hold out any promise Of reduced
costs Of paving for the coming year
It is declared that instead of the cost
of materials going down they are go

RED LAKE INDIAN BILL
LAID BEFORE CONGRESS.
MINNEAPOLIS HEARS
Measure to Wind Up Tribal
Affairs Puts Chippewas on
Own Responsibility

Minneapolis, March 10.-Legisla-
ton designed to wind up the tribal
affairs of the Chippewa Indian in
the Red Lake reservation in Mime
sofa, placing them on their own res
possibility, was before the Indian
committee of the lower house Of Con-
gress, according to advices from
Washington.
According to the report, Webster
Ballanger, counsel for the General
Council of the Chippewa Indians,
placed charges with the committee to
the effect that the Indian Bureau got
congress in 1916 to create national
forest reserve in the Red Lake Reser-
walton in Minnesota so that the land
could not be divided among the Indi-
ans, and that agents of the bureau
"who wanted to held their jobs" had
created factions among the Chippewa
tribe.
Mr.. Ballinger held that the General
Council of the Chippewas represented
most of the Indians, but Edgar B.
Merritt, assistant commissioner of the
Indian Bureau told the committee
that the Red Lake band of Chippewas
refused to have anything to do with
the election of the council
