telling me all the interesting
things DR.. Perisho told them

we had given US in the Lyceum
course this winter.
The 7th grade girls gave a st.
Patrick party at the school

tertained very nicely the young

WOULD DECLARE MILK
A PUBLIC UTILITY
Hansen Bill, Passed by the Assembly,
Gives Cities Wide Powers
Over Milk Supply.
(Bv Associated Press Leased Wire.l

(By Associated Press Leased Wire)
Madison-Acquisitio of milk dis
tributing agencies by cities to provide
for efficiency and economy is called for
in the c. E. Hansen bill, passed in the
assembly this morning, 65 to %. The
measure permits cities to declare milk
companies public utilities and then
take them over to municipal owner
ship. Six amendments offered by As
semblyman Freehoff, tempering many
of the provisions of the proposal, were
adopted before it's acceptance. The
bill calls for creation of a milk COM
mission in cities to take direct con
troll of the management, should they
adopt the plan. Municipal marketing
of food products other than milk met
defeat in the lower house. The Pier
son bill, first of several local market
irg measures, was killed At to 43, af-
ter it had been disowned by its au-
thor A similar proposal introduced
by Senator Kleist and passed by the
senate was declared unconstitutional
in an opinion of AttyGen. Morgan, on
the ground that it allowed expenditure
of public money for a private purpose.
Assemblyman Pierson said that his
bill was in the same class.

Home Run King
Sentenced to Jail
AZ Aasociated Press Leased Viz

New York City-"Babe" Ruth, home
run king of the New York Americans,
today was sentenced to one day in the
city prison and fined 500 in magis-
trates court for automobile speeding.
1t was Ruth's second appearance in
court for speeding. At his first trial
he escaped with a nominal fine and
promised to observe the laws. Six
days ago he was caught speeding on
Riverside Drive.
Babe lost some of his famous sunny
disposition when he heard the magis-
trate pronounce the Jail sentence. He
had come prepared to pay heavy fine
and had peeled off a 500 bill from
a roll to close the financial of his
sentence.
In sentencing Ruth the magistrate
said; Owe been sending many chauf-
feurs to Jail for from five to fifteen
days, as we'll as fning them. Chauf-
feur's earn little and have families de-
pendent. Therefore, it does not seem
fair to allow prominent merchants or
society men or an outstanding figure
in the sporting world as you are, to
come into the court and be given
small fine and 90 away"
Then he was led from the court
room by keeper to begin serving hi
fine. Officially his day in Jail ends Fl
four o'clock this afternoon.
Asked if he expected to play today
against Cleveland, the ball player
replied:
Glow can II"
Then after reflecting for a moment
he frightened up and said:
"Well, may play half game"
Ruth was released from city prison
at four o'clock this afternoon.

hquiring Reporter
TODAY's QUESTION:

Do you think Kenosha should have
municipal coal yard, managed by
city officials?
ANSWERS:
c. Petersen, 167 Maple court, bag
gageman.-If 1 understand it right, the
n. unicipal coal yard would assure the
laboring classes of Kenosha that there
would be no coal shortage for them in
particular this winter. | think that
is very good idea and it should be
carried out. 1t involves no expense on
the part of the city that they won't be
repaid, and it is a splendid thing for
the city.
John Krogh, 259 Congress street,
merchant.-Yes, I think there ought to
be municipal coal yard in Kenosha
Kenosha has not always been in the
best of shape when it comes to a sup
ply of coal and this would be a good
starter. The time to buy the coal
would be right now while it is cheaper.
If everyone followed that plan, there
would not be lot of complaints about
service in the winter time.
Mrs. Hugo Clemens, 571 South
oSA co., hIiIGS1s y nave pOuRnJ our
coal for this winter already and we are
not worrying much about that end of
it. 1t certainly is a good plan to in
sure the city against any shortage that
might arise if there should be a cold
winter.
J. M. Nelson Albion place, driver.
If they can save $4,000 as they re-
port, the city should take advantage
of the opportunity and buy an entire
shipload of coal. They will have
plenty of occasions to use it, and if
there should be any left over from the
amount the city uses, it could be sold
to the public.
Jim Hutton, Waukegan, ILL., hard
~ know whether it would do your city
any good or not, but the proposition
sounds reasonable and 1 don't see any
objections to it. 1t would be a good
suggestion for Waukegan too. It's
pretty early though to be talking about
winter. I think baseball is more in
line at this time.

HERCULES TAKES OVER
AETNA EXPLOSIVES co.
Company With Plant at Pleasant Prai-
RE Gets Control of Great
Powder Making Industry.
lBy Special Correspondent


New York-Rumors of the proposed
purchase of the Aetna Explosives COM
pany, Inc, by the Hercules Powder
company, received definite confirmation
yesterday when the Aetna stockholders
sanctioned the sale OF its properties,
assets and business. This marks the
elimination of transaction that has
interested financial and business cir
cles for the past two years.
BY this purchase the Hercules COM
pany will acquire high explosives, or
dynamite, plants near Birmingham,
Ala; Emporium, Pa. Sinnamahoning,
Pa; Ishpeming, Mich, and Fayville,
ILL.,; two black blasting powder plants,
one at Goes Station, O.; and the other
near Birmingham, Ala, plant for the
manufacture of blasting caps and cleo
trio blasting caps at Fort Even, n. Y,
and plant for the manufacture of full
inmate of mercury, for use in blasting
caps, at Prescott, Ontario Canada.
with the Aetna company's business,
the Hercules Powder company becomes
a much larger factor in the explosives
business of the United States" said J..
T. Sicily, vice president of the Hercu-
les company. "The company is now in
a position to compete for business in
all parts of the United States, and will
be greatly strengthened in important
fields which have hitherto been closed
to us on account Of freight rates from
our plants"

Mystery Surrounds Blaze Which Completely

Early Hour Today.

A Woman and Two Men, All Under Influence of Liquor,
Believed to Have Entered Home Only Short
Time Before Fire Destroyed it.

the cold grey dawn of the early morn
ing, lighting up both of the lakes and
calling the summer cottagers from
their beds. Many of them made a trip
about the lake from Indian Point to
watch the fury of the flames as they
destroyed the house and the furnish
ings, while others came in boats on
the lake and watched the fire from the
open water.
Mysterious People Seen.
The building was so completely de-
stroyed that it was impossible to make
even suggestion as to where the fire
started OR the cause of it. The loss
is estimated at more than $4,000 and
the loss is partially covered by insur-
ance. Frank Deits, who lives in a
house adjoining the burned home, was
awakened little before the fire was
discovered and he noticed a light in
one of the rooms of the house. Know
ing that the members Of the Hoefe
family were in Chicago, he dressed as
hurriedly as possible and started to
make sn investigation. BY the time he
reached the house, is was so enveloped
in the Games that it was impossible

Drunken Woman and Man.
People in the neighborhood who
were awake late in the evening, de-
clared that a woman and two men who
appeared to be strangers in the neigh
borhood, were seen about the house
late in the evening of Tuesday All
three of the people appeared to be
under the influence of liquor. They
were walking along the road singing
songs and they appeared to be so
drunk that they did not know where
they were going. Deitz said that be-
fore the fire consumed the Hoehe home
he discovered that one of the screens
had been pulled from a window and
that it appeared that the window had
been opened. 1t is thought possible
that the drunken men and woman were
seeking a place to sleep and that they
went into the house. After the fire
was over, search was made all about
the lakes, but no trace of the woman
and the men was found. Many people
believe that they were in the house
when it was destroyed Search of the
ruins was being made today, but it
was said that the destruction was so
complete that it was impossible to
solve the mystery.
The two men and the woman are
thought to have been Chicago people
who came out to the lakes on vaca-
ton, but no facts could be found as
to where they had been staying or as
to where they had been earlier in the
evening. 1t is believed possible that
they had come to Twin Lakes from
some of the other lake resorts in the
neighborhood.

Mystery attends the fire which early
this morning caused the complete de-

Hoefe, we'll known Twin Lakes man,

two men and woman were burned to
death in the building, but nothing has
been found to confirm this fear.
The members of the Hoefe family
were in Chicago on visit at the time
of the fire. They had gone to Chicago
on Monday, expecting to return to
Twin Lakes on Saturday evening and
reopen the house to be used for sum
