And this might be added to it: Less has beea sent to the Oehkosh com panies by the people back home than to any other companies in the regimenL Jearly every day we have seen boxes of orangt-d, buui'bes of bananas, curious of tobacco, baskets peaches, bags of flour, sacks of nuts and so fenb distributed to other companies and we were informed that the stuff came from organizations or individuals in their bouie cities. The com panics have had very little in that line beyond what was forwarded to individuals, and that in the aggregate was only a trifle whes it is borne in mind that every box was "split" seven or eight different ways in the squad teuts.

It will be charged in a formal complaint to be made that tbe regulars here are being treated much better with gard to- food supplies than the state troops. One regiment of regulars returned from the border two days ago and was issued fresh meat the next day according to the couiplaiut made to Sen ator La Follette by the Neenah com pany. They certainly were entitled to it, but the statement I am requested to make in that regard is that the Hecoud Wisconsin really was in need of fresh meat and vegetables after its tedious trip from Camp Douglas. NO CONCLUSIONS DRAWN. The subject matter promises to assume some proportions and the foregoing is presented without drawing any conclusions so that our relatives aud friends "buck home" will know what it's all about.

In order to get out from under any criticism as a soldier, your correspondent desires to state unqualifiedly that be has been subjected to nothing that he is not perfectly willing to stand without complaint for many weeks to come and he believes be left and was used to as comfortable civilian borne conditions as any man among the soldiers and officers at this post. It is a fact, nevertheless, that the general protest throughout the Wisconsin brigade is bitter, sensationally so. A BIT OF ADYTCFi. A good bit of advice to the home guard committee and the people generally is: "It etir regimental officers take care of matters here and don't do anything that will give ns the reputation of having squealed under the very first test of gameness and loyalty." The fact is nobody has faltered or wavered and I am sure nobody is going to, Kennedy. RELIEF FROM HEAT SOON.

DRAW LONGER THAN IT WAS.

Honest) Today's Heat Added ElK-ht Inches i Bridge Iron and Caused Trouble with Spans. The Intense heat of the last few days has gradually lengthened out the Ironwork on the draw of Main street bridge until this afternoon the structure could not be completely closed after the steamer Paul passed through at 1:30 o'clock. A projecting beam at the north and of the draw kept the movable span about six Inches out of Its normal position and thus made it Impossible for street cars to cross. Three or four cars collected at either approach before the span was pried Into position and the tracks aligned. The trouble Is one which recurs In times of great heat, the beam lengthening out almest eight inches accord ing to Superintendent of Bridges Fred Ruhnke, but It will be shortened at once to avoid more delays.

Twelve Hundred Machinists in On Plant and Three Hundred In Another luit Work. (By Associated Press.) Milwaukee, July 18. Twelve hundred machinists employed at the plant of the Allis-Chalmers company and 300 in the Pawling llarnishfeger works left their benches at 10 clock this morning and walked out on strike. as a culmination of the trouble between the employers and employes' associations. The are asking a forty-eight hour week in place of the 524 hours which they are now working.

The atrike is expected to affect a num ber of other plants in the city and may result in the calling out of nearly 6,000 men. The walkout this morning was effected in a quiet and orderly manner. The strike at the Allis-Chalmers plant was originally set for 10 o'clock Monday morning, but through the efforts of Gov. K. Philipp, a postponement of twenty-four hours was arranged in order to give the governor an opportunity to try to mediate.

Following meetings with the employers' association yesterday, the governor last night advised the leaders of the men that the employers, in view of the fact that they had recently reduced the working hours from ba to a week. would not at this time entertain a proposition for further reduction nor would they submit the question to arbitration. When this was learned. the strike leaders Issued the order for the walkout. COAL OIL FOR MOTORS.

Will Replace Gasoline. Save Cleve land Machlniat. CBy United Press.) Cleveland, July 18. Ab6ut a month from today George A. Eynon, local machinist, will begin to market a carburetor that will, it is claimed, gladden the motorist's heart by running his car with coal oil In stead of priceless gasoline.

Eynon ao- cldently discovered the principle by which he devised his carburetor. One day he spilled some oil on a rag and carelessly brought a hot iron near. Vapor was given oft. The problem was solved. Eynon wrapped four inches of thin wire around a few shreds of asbestor and sent an electrical current through the wire.

The asbestos acted as a wick and the heated oil vaporised enough oil to start the engine. As soon as the. engine is started, the electricity is turned off an.l vaporization is maintained by the burning of a little oil In a combustion chamber, A test proved that a car could be driven sixty-three miles on four and a half gallons of coal oil. Heavy cars fitted with the carburetor have made eleven to twelve miles on a gallon of kerosene. NEGRO RELIGIOUS FANATIC.

Christian Convert in Nigeria Calls Him Elijah the Second. (By Associated Press.) London, July has trouble on Its hands In the person of a negro who styles himself Elijah the Ostensibly a convert to Christianity, he has cut adrift from the missionaries and Is running a spurious form of lty on his own account According to an orrtcial wno nas reacneo England from the region where his converts are most numerous, they already number more than a million out of the 17,000,000 natives in Nigeria. He claims to work miracles and does not even draw the line at raising people from the dead. He finds a particularly profitable source of revenue In selling water which he psetends to have en dowed with magic healing powers. But what Is causing the authorities most concern Is the new aoctrme wnicn tne black Elijah is proclaiming.

It is that the blacks are now the "chosen people;" that they are destined to oust whites and inherit the choice places of the earth. HIBERNIANS IN SESSION. Fifteen Hundred Delegate Attend from I'nlted States and Canada. (By Associated Press.) Boston. July 18.

That the German merchant submarine Deutsch-Jand would finish loading her cargo by tonight and be ready to leave within a few hours was the belief today by observers who have been closely watching the boat and activities about here since he was docked here on Monday morning of last week.

Senator La Follette of Wisconsin has received from the officers of the First Wisconsin infantry at SanNAntonlo, a complaint because of an alleged shortage of food supplies.

The complaint was submitted by the Wisconsin senator to the war department. Senator La Follette wag informed by Secretary Baker trmt an investigation of food conditions, as well as other matters complained of by the militiamen, was in progress on the border. General Funston and army officers on the border deny there is any shortage of wholeoome food supplies, and say the militiamen are getting exactly the same rations and allowance given the regulars, and that regulars have not suffered physically or gone hungry. (Special to The Northwestern.) Fort Sam Houston, Texas, July 18. There hasn't been an hour of the day since the Second regiment left Camp Douglas that same one hasn't come to your correspondent with a suggestion or request that he send to The Northwestern a protest against the food that was being served and the transportation facilities.

The writer refrained from sending matter on either subject for the reason that nothing had been said or done by persons who might speak authoritatively for the regiment, that la nothing had been said for publication or done in manner and form as to make it privileged for newspaper correspondence. However, the complaint forwarded to Senator La Follette by the Neenah company of the regiment changes the situation. That action was irregular and improper. There are definite chan nels through which such complaints may and should be made, but it has brought the matter to a head and as more will be heard of it, because regimental officers propose to make com plaint In the regular way, it is deemed proper here, at this time to state the conditions against which a remon strance la to be filed. The writer Is no judge of what Is proper or sufficient food for soldiers making a four day and four night trip in a day coach, but he la prepared to slate what was fed the men of the Second on that memorable drag from Camp Douglas to this post.

Here Is the record: MONDAY. Breakfast Canned corned beef hash. coffee, bread. Dinner Soup and bread. Supper One tablespoonful of canned beans, a smaller spoonful of Jam and bread.

TUESDAY. Breakfast Canned corned beef hash, bread and coffee. Dinner Canned corned beef, hard tack, coffee. Supper Cold canned tomatoes, with canned beans In It, coffee. WEDNESDAY, Breakfast Corned beef hash, bread and coffee.

Dinner Canned corned beef, hard tack and coffee. Supper Canned tomatoes, hard tack. coffee. THURSDAY. Same as Wednesday, portions re duced.

FRIDAY. Breakfast Corned beef hash, hard tack, coffee. Dinner Canned corned boef, hard tack, coffee. Supper Nothing. NO WATER IN CAR.

I Eighteen hours of twenty-four, there was no water in the car for any purpose, One stop was made each day during which the men were exercised for from twenty to thirty minutes and allowed ten minutes for refreshments, which for a vast majority of them meant beer. Very little whisky has been drunk. The charge is not made that the men were hungry for very long periods at a time, because they bought their own food along the route. Watermelons were consumed by the hundred. Many laid In ample supplies of graham crackers, canned beans, canned pineapples, cheese, sardines and so forth, with the net result that probably half of them are now without funds, having spent what they did not send home out of their Monday pay roll, amounting to an average of about thirteen dollars apiece.

During the last forty-eight hours of the trip, those who were without money were helped out either with cash or food by the more fortunate ones who wtre in positions to keep what the gov. ernment paid them. There is no Infor mation on the matter of when another ray day will come. AS TO TRANSPORTATION. As to the transportation facilities.

It is believed that everyone must understand that the day coaches were not even reasonably satisfactory. There was no such thing as real rest In them Every man In the regiment was full of kinks inside of forty-eight hours. There were no facilities aj all for washing utensils upon which food was served. Meat pans and coffee cups were wiped out with newspapers. Net hot water was available.

This un dotibtedly was due to the negligence, or laainess of the kitchen departments. That fact does not detract, however, from the Insanitary conditions that develoDed.

Wb They Will Be Willing to Come Sew Boom la Started for a rVaaavllle Man. (By Associated Press.) St. Paul, July 18. John M. Parker's rallying cry to the surviving Progressives and his call issued last Saturday for a new national convention of the party in Chicago, August 6, was blamed by Prohibition leaders here today for the collapse of their plans for a monster, "get-together" conference at which they had hoped to enroll aa members of their organization scores of men who have been prominent in the Progressive Republican and Democratic parties.

Instead of a "get-together" event, the meeting became a Prohibition love feast and revival service. The leaders had pinned their principal hopes to those Progressives who had refused to admit their party was dead when Theodore Roosevelt declined to lead it in the coming campaign. They had expected such men as William Allen White and Victor Murdock of Kansas, Judge Albert D. Nortoni of St. Louis, and perhaps Colonel Parker himself to meet with them and pledge their affiliation with the only party which thus far has declared In its platform for national prohibition.

But none of these appeared today, Instead. Colonel Parker issued his convention call, Mr. Murdock started for China, Mr. White is silent, and Judge Nortonl's contribution to the "get-together" conference was a telegram to Virgil O. Hinshaw, national chairman of the Prohibition party, in which he expressed regret at his inability to attend the meeting but assured Mr.

Hinshaw he was "with him in spirit" Norton! With Drys. Juries Nortoni added that he is morally bound to support Colonel Parker's candidacy and to assist him in namine a residential nominee. He said i he would werk for the incorporation of a Prohibition plank In the new Progresa-I ive platform, however, and declared him-; self -unqualifiedly in favor of national Prohibition. "Thev're afraid to join with lis until they know we intend to fo after the votes with a ticket every Progressive can snDDort conscientiously," said Mr. Hinshaw, referring- to the absent Pro- gressives.

He denied that the failure of his efforts for fusioa had discouraged him. however and indicated an mten i tlon to redouble his efforts to induce the Parker convention to endorse the ticket which, the Prohibitionists will nominate here this weeak. Altar sending a pna.ie Pan! last night, in which he declared he was not a Prohibitionist, politically, and would sot accept the nomination for president, Eugene Foss returned to the list of nomination possimiities today -with a telegram to Mr. Hinshaw in which he said: "I have thought some- one else might better make the fight, btrt If in the judgment of the convention I seem to be the one to lead, 1 would give the nomination every consideration." Boom launched. Having received no reply to the telegram he and National Committeeman Patton cent last night to John M-Parker, asking whether he would accept the vice presidential nomination, H.

P. Farris of Clinton, treasurer of the Prohibition national committee, inaugurated a boom today for Dr. Ira 1 D. Landrith of Nashville, for president and Miss Ada Brehra of Chi-' cage for vice president. Dr.

Lsndrith is the first choice of many delegates for vice presidential honors, with Sulzer, Frank Hanly or Mr. Foss as the presidential The "get-together" meeting was given up principally to speeches prophesying victory for the prohibition ticket In 1920, if not this year. Among those who spoke in an optimistic vein were: H. Thompson of Ohio, Prohibition candidate for vice president in 1880; Miss Ada C. Brehm, Chicago; and H.
