PICK LITTLE BOB"
AS G. 0. P. LEADER
Robert M. LaFollette, Jr., Slated to
be Chairman of State Republi-
can Committee.

Madison, Wis.-Robert M. LaRollette
Jr., son of the senior Wisconsin sem
ator, will be the LaFollette progress
sive choice for chairman of the Wis
consin Republican state central COM
mittee when members are named at the
platform convention here September
10, it was learned today.
Control Of the platform convention
by the LaFollette forces practically
assured selection of the senator's SON
to head the central party committee,
his friends believe. He would replace
Alvin B. Peterson of Prairie du Chen,
a follower of Senator l. L. Lenroot
Peterson was defeated for the Repub-
lican nomination as congressman from
the third Wisconsin district by Con-
gresham John M. Nelson at the pri-
mary, September 9Th.
The choice of LaFollette to head
the state central committee would give
the progressives control of every poll
tical branch of the state government
and of the Republican party organi-
cation in Wisconsin.
During the primary campaign, La
Toilette, Jr., managed his fathers cam
-paign for denomination as Republi-
can candidate for United States

Captain Alexander Sup
ported by Colonel Quill
at Hearing Here.
CANTEEN IS REOPENED
Most Compartments Fail to APP
pear; Others State Things
Settled Satisfactorily.

Ironing out the difficulties which
have beset Troop E in the past few
days was the accomplishment of Col
James j. Quill, commanding the 105th
Cavalry, who came to Kenosha Monday
evening and held hearing at Camp
Williams as a result Of telephone com
plants filed with him regarding the
management of the troop. The probe
resulted in the complete generation Of
Captain John D. Alexander, who was
supported in every particular by the
commandant after hearing the details
of the affair.
The alleged complaints against tho
management dwindled perceptibly be-
fore the hearing when instead of "ten
or eleven" who were said to be dis
satisfied, only two appeared with ATTY
sort of a complaint.
Their Troubles Were Settled.
These were two nom reconnaissance
officers who had been ruffled by orders
issued for the discipline of the troop
and who had early last week appealed
to the colonel. These men were pres
ent and stated that after elaboration
they realized that their complaints had
been exaggerated. They added that
they were now satisfied with the justice
of the orders.
Colonel Quill called all of the non
commissioned officers of the troop be-
fore him and gave them ample oppor-
tunity to express their views regarding
the situation. They were practically
unanimous in declaring that the whole
affair had been excitement over moth
ing"
Colonel Praises Captain.
After hearing all of the members of
the troop, Colonel Quill gave an oppor-
tunity to any others who desired to APP
pear to speak at the hearing. No 9TH
ers appeared.
Colonel Quill stated that the probe
had been called largely because of u
telephone conference with Major H. j.
Mellum, president of the Troop E Citi-
zens association and regretted that the
latter was not present at the hearing.
In closing the hearing the officer de-
SAoAcO IHdL Tie OEueES III question re-
ferred entirely to troop management
and were too trivial in nature to be
carried beyond the commanding officer
of the troop. He upheld Captain Alex
ander in all of his decisions.
It developed at the hearing that the
Troop canteen, located at Camp Will
liams, had been closed by order Of Col.
Quill on Saturday as a result of state
ments made by the two non-commis-
stoned officers who had complained to
him to the effect that the canteen was
not desired by members of the troop.
Pending investigation the canteen was
ordered closed. Following the hearing,
Colonel Quill lifted the ban on the
canteen declaring that his conferences
with the non-commissioned officers had
shown conclusively that the canteen
was a useful adjunct to the equipment
of the troop and should be reopened.
Many members of the Kenosha post
Of the American Legion attended the
hearing to pay tribute to the work or
Captain Alexander as commander of
the unit.

Edwiga Suanak, Aged
Four, Dies in Strange
Poison Case.
BILLY Is RECOVERING
Third Child Is Past Danger;
Physicians Say 1t Was Form
of PtOmaine Poisoning.

Death claimed it's second poison
victim among the children of Mr..
and Mrs. Victor Suanak, 127 North Ed
ward street, when little Edwiga, the
four year old daughteer, died this
morning lust after five o'clock at the
ISL. GATHERINGS Hospital, where she
had been taken Friday noon in a stu
por. On Wednesday, her brother,
Charles aged three years, was also
claimed by the same malady, an i'll
ness which at first baffled the ply
sicians and which now is diagnosed as
a form of ptomaine poisoning.
The third child, Billy, aged six, who
was taken with the illness on Thurs
day has revived from the stupor, from
which the other two children never
emerged and it is believed that he will
recover. The mother, who was also
slightly affected by the poisoning, is
also recovering.
Mystery Is Cleared.
DR.. S. w. Murphy, who was called
into consultation in the case, after
the first child had died and when
the little girl was at the point of
death, to treat the third victim, de-
clared this morning that the children
had been affected with form of
ptomaine poisoning. He said that the
third child had yielded to treatment
for this illness and was recovering
The cause for the poisoning is placed
upon some food which the children ate
recently but what this was has not
yet been determined 1t was at first
thought that some grapes, purchased
at a Kenosha store, had been over
ripe and because of the hot weather
might have been the cause of the ill
ness. This theory was proven false
when the third child became ill, since
he had eaten none of the grapes.
The children were not afflicted as
patients from ptomaine poisoning are
ordinarily affected and for that rea-
son the illness had baffled the physi-
clans for several days.
Second Funeral on Sunday.
The remains of Edwiga, the four
year old daughter, were taken to the
Pawinsky Funeral Home this morning
where they were prepared for burial.
The funeral services will be held Sun
day afternoon at three o'clock at the
st. Peters Church after which the
child's body will be laid to hest beside
the grave of her brother in the family
plot in the st, George Cemetery.

Death came in strange way Monday
night just after eight o'clock to Julius
Hasler, aged Sc years, whose home is
on Northwest Main street just south
Of Ounce street, when he was electro
cuted while at work in the picking
room at the Simmons company plant.
A wire which he was using in his work
came in contact with an electric cur
rent by the merest accident and he
was killed instantly despite efforts of
fellow laborers to aid him.
Because of the fact that he was en-
ployed in a portion of the factory
where electrical current is not used,
a report that his death had been caus-
ed by grounded wires gained credence.
This was found to be false this morn

She was accompanied by her two small
children, her husband, Ross T. Rich

Mrs. Sailstad- Richardson, who close

at her children. Her husband obvi-
ously was deeply interested in the
court proceedings and he hardly no
ticed his playful step-children, who
in turn paid most attention to their

Mrs. Julia O'Connor, Wife of Peter o.

(From Tuesdays Daily.l

Death ended a long illness this morn
ing when Mrs. Julia, 0'Connor, wife of
Peter O'Connor,, died at the home at
70s Jenne street from complication of
diseases. She had been critically i'll
for several days and death was not

The. deceased was the daughter of

citedly asked that the search of the

find her.
Supposed to Be from Chicago.
Marshall did not reply when asked in
regard to where he lived or his occupa-
ton, but the automobile which he
drove had an Illinois license and from
his conversation he appeared to be
from Chicago. He intimated that a ro-
mantle attraction for another man
might have been responsible for his
wife leaving home and going out to
seek employment, but he did not volun-
teer any suggestion as to whom the
man might be or as to whether or not
he was resident of Kenosha. He was
insistent in his statement that Mrs.
Marshall had been seen in Kenosha on
Wednesday and appeared to have in
formation which led him to believe
that she was teaching school. School
officials suggested that the actions of
the man indicated the possibility that
he was demented.
So far as could be discovered, no one
is teaching in Kenosha under an as
sumed name and no teachers, other
than those who have taught in other
years, who admitted that they had a
husband somewhere, have been en-
ployed by the board to teach in the
schools this year.
The strange request of the man
caused considerable excitement about
the Administration building and it is
probable that it will sbring an inter
esting study on the part of the teach
ers of the city.

Kautenburg has had long period

there were many regrets expressed that
his career of police service should be
cut short by indiscretion. However, it
was considered only the inevitable re-
