DISABLED BOAT
RESCUED HERE
Coast Guard Rescues "The
Search" Disabled Off
Kenosha HarbOr.
FIVE MEN ABOARD

Alertness on the part of the crew Of
the Kenosha coast guard station re-
suited in the rescuing On Sunday morn
ing of "The Search" fishing smack,
which was disabled about mile and a
half off the Kenosha harbor. A crew
of five men were aboard the stranded
ship when it "went dead" in the lake,
and they were all rescued from drifting
hours aimlessly by the quick work of
the Kenosha coast guard men.
"The Search" is owned by Captain
Pat Chambers Of Fish Creek, village
near Green Bay, who with four others
came to Kenosha last week on fishing
expedition. Early Sunday morning they
set out for their first lift in the Keno
sha waters.
/ Machine Became Crippled.
About two miles out from shore their
engine suddenly became crippled and
they were left to drift on the lake.
There was as yet no real danger when
they were discovered by the coast
guard man who was on the lookout, as
the lake was very calm, and the boat
could easily keep itself afoat. 1t was
helpless, however, and the, only hope of
reaching land was to attract the atten-
ton of the coast guard or of some
passing ship.
The emergency launch of the coast
guard station went to the aid of the
disabled fishing tug and brought it into
harbor. 1t is declared that it will take
several DAYS for it to be repaired.
The coast guard crew which went to
the aid of the ship was headed by Cap
tain w. J. McGraw. They were praised
by the crew Of the fishing boat for
their quick work in picking them up
land bringing them into harbor.

COUNTY ROADS
IN GOOD SHAPE
Report of Road Commit
tee Shows Progress
Made in 1922
SOME PAVING FINISHED

Showing that a record amount of
work has been done during the past
season to improve the roads of Keno
sha county xthe report of the Kenosha
county state road and bridge commit
tee was presented to the county board
by Supervisor Dowse, the secretary of
the committee. Itlreviewed briefly the
work done on the roads under the SUI
pervision of the committee, revealing
that both in the line of increasing the
paved highway and in the line of i'm
proving the gravel highways through
out the county the year has been a
record one.
Prominent in the report was the
statement Of the paving of the long
strip on the Geneva road at a contract
price of $105, 596,25, and of strip of
the Kilbourn road through Paris and
Somers at a contract price Of sac, 697 40.
Both of these strips are now complete
and open for travel. The report also
shows that the Sheridan road was wild
ened by the addition of shoulders
throughout it's entire length in the
county, exclusive Of the city streets.
Many Highways Graded.
A total of sixteen miles of county
highways was graded, culverted and
surfaced with gravel in the towns as
authorized by the county board. All
of this work has also been completed.
The gravel used in the work was Sc
cured from the pits purchased by the
county, which pits, according to the
report, have proven to have been an
economical purchase. Through the
Wisconsin Highway Commission, two
tractors and other machinery were
purchased at a large saving to the
county.
1t was also reported that, for, the
sake of the public, additional land had
been acquired for the widening of cor
ners on the Kilbourn and Burlington
roads, on the Union Grove andi Bristol
roads, on the Brighton-Kansasvil
road and on the Geneva road in the
town of Salem. Special mention was
made Of the liberality Of Charles
Choak, who donated piece of road for
the use of the county in widening the
brlRnLQu-A anSaSVllLS ROAD.
No Snow PlOws Needed.
The committee reported that the past
winter was SO mild that it was not nee
essary for the county to spend any
money for the removal of snow. The
committee had, however, gone to Fond
du Lac for a demonstration Of the ro-
tary snow pillow manufactured by the
Whittier Motor Company of Kenosha
and believes that the machine will be
of great value if winter should come
which would demand its use.
The report also recorded that the
members of the committee together
with patrolmen on the roads had at
tended the various road schools held
in the state during the past year.
Especial mention was made of the
efficiency of County Highway Commits
sioner John Herzog, whose direction
of. the projects carried out by the
board was declared to have been large
ly responsible for making the year one
of the most successful in the history of
road making in Kenosha county.

tBy Associated Press Leased wire.)
Washington Replying to the ad-
dress By Governor Blaine OF wisconsin
before the meeting of progressfves on
Saturday, Secretary Mellon declared
that the Wisconsin governor @distorts
my statement and endeavoYs to portray
an injurious situation which does not
exist" With reference to the collection
of incomes and sur-taxes on excess
profits. Mr.: Melf5n said THERE was no
basis whatever for the charges and sug-
gestions s6ughb to be conveyed in the
speech by Governor Blaine.
"Criticism Of public officials and Of
their administration" which attacked
the secretary for alleged discrimina-
tions in protection of wealthy tax pay
ers, said Secretary Mellon, as COM
mendable and useful to the people
whree there is laxity and ineffective
service in the conduct of Office. But
when wholly unjustifable, and without
any basis Of truth, 1t is harmful, as in
this instance, and can only be under
stood as an appeal to class prejudice
in selfish effort to obtain some poll
teal capital"
The internal revenue bureau is adj
ministering the revenue law impartial
ly, Mr.. Mellon asserted, and is applying
1t to large corporations and wealthy
individuals as we'll as to others.
The treasury secretary referred to
the letters he had written to Repre-
sentative Frear Of Wisconsin some
weeks ago and declared they had defn-
ite1y explained the question of taxation
as applied to stock dividends and cor
poration SURPRISES to which Governor
Blaine particularly referred in his
speech.
"The taxes imposed by existing law
are being completely enforced to the
fullest extent which the law pre-
scribes," the secretary added, "and any
further action in this respect would
have to be in the nature Of new taxes
levied by congress-"
