MAY BE MASSACRE
Authorities Taking Active Meas. ures to Put Down Inc Law.
 less Ones.

l Constantinople, Nov 27.-The
 lawless activity of the Kurdish tribes
 in the Armeno-Kurdish districts oi
 Erzerum, Bitlis, Van, Kharput and i| Diarbekir is causing lively concert al the porte, particularly as the for. . eign embassies are urging that prompt measures be taken by the government to prevent a possible massacre:
 Under the protection of the mo- torious 1braham Pasha, who is known as the "despot of Kurdistan," Kurd- ish horsemen are making raids with out discrimination, Turkish villages suffering equally with Armenian homesteads on the plains around Dfarbekir and Jezireh-Ibn-O Omar. Sixteen villages have been pillaged and burned within the past month in these districts and eight villages in the Sert district have met with the same fate. Several of these villages were composed entirely of Moslems and in most cases the lives of the in- habitants were spared, though they were deprived of all their posses sions.
 Hunger is already being felt, as everywhere there is scarcity of food, fodder and fuel. The mission aries are doing their best to mitigate the misery, but outside help is ur- gently needed if the danger of se- were famine is to be averted.
 The movement in favor of auton- omy is gaining ground in Asia Minor as the popular disaffection against the Constantinople government is very strong. But at the same time there is a great degree of loyalty among the Moslems, and this consti- tutes a powerful support to the pres- ent regime. A,.
 Mass meetings are being held at which the removal of Ibraham Pasha is being demanded. At a meeting at Van, a denunciation of the "venal and corrupt government at Constan- tinople." and the suggestion that Asia Minor should declare it's inde- pendence thereof, aroused great en- thusiasm, and 25,000 Moslems and Christians in the audience are re- ported to have pledged their lives to the movement in favor of autonomy.
 The porte has ordered troops from Kharput and Aleppo against the re- fractory Kurds, and it will endeavor to induce Ibraham Pasha by friendly persuasion to come into Aleppo. Some of Ibraham's villages were shelled recently by Turkish troops and sixty Kurds were killed.

 Ghost Stands In Way.

Ghost Stands In Way.
 St. Paul, Minn., Nov 27-Declartng that "the ghost of Andrew Jackson" is the only thing that stands in the way of the repeal of laws that will give the United States safe banking system, A. B. Stickney, president of the Chicago Great Western railway. spoke before the Roosevelt club in this city. MT. Stickney said in part:
 No legislation whatever is required except to repeal the provisions of the national banking act which prevent banks from doing business except at one specified office and which prevent national banks from depositing their reserves in another bank in the same city, to repeal the laws as to reserves and the subtreasury laws and to di- rect the tax collectors to remit direct ly to designated central reserve bank. The genius of commerce inherent in the American people, thus made free, will do the rest"

POOL LICENSES.
Superintendent Beach Getting After
 the Tardy Ones.

The time for taking out licenses for pool and billiard rooms being drawing to a close, Superintendent of Police Beach sent officers after the tardy ones few days ago. It seemed that almost every store keeper on Bank street between Grand street and the Naugatuck depot runs pool room, and scarcely one of them, except those who run saloons as a side issue, pretended to be aware. of the ordinance relating to this business. This ordinance, which was designed to keep boys at home nights, compels every pool room keeper to pay $1O for a license to do business. The consequence of the visit of the police to those places was stampede on the city clerks office the past few days for licenses for pool rooms.

EVERY automobilist who drives a
car anywhere in Kenosha county is
going to suffer from the deplorable
accident which resulted in the death
Of William Dreyer last July. The cir
cumstances surrounding the case have
very naturally intensified the bitter
feeling against the machines which
existed in certain sections of the
county and no matter how careful
they are or considerate of the rights
of others all automobiles who travel
Kenosha county roads are going to
hear from that affair for years to
come.

EVERY paved street in the city
should be given thorough overhaul
ing this spring by repair gang
in charge of paving expert and the
cost of the work should be charged
up to the various corporations and
individuals responsible for the numer-
Gus breaks. If the paving is to be
made to last it will have to be care
fully looked after and on some streets
repair work has been so neglected
that it is going to cost lot Of money
to put the streets in shape again.

AN official opinion from the Attor-
ney General on the right of cities to
transfer liquor licenses will be well
coined by some Of our city fathers
just at this time. Such an opinion
might give a pretext for delay, and
that is what they are looking for. #
it is possible thing some Of the men
who are going to be candidates will
not touch this license question in any
way until after the election.

THE discovery OF tuberculosis in
cattle in widely separated sections of
the county is making the farmers un-
easy and with reason. The losses 10
the farmers from the disease have al
ready been heavy and the indications
are that there are further losses to
come. A general and systematic test
for tuberculosis of all the cattle in
the county is the only way to check
the further spread of the disease and
for their own protection it is believed
that the farmers would be ready and
willing to assist the state authorities
in making such test in every way
possible. The losses already suffered
are nothing in comparison with those
that would have to be faced should
the disease become general through
the county and the only way to pre-
vent this heavy loss is to go systemat-
ically to work to stamp out the
disease.

RACINE is also wrestling with the
question of the right of it's Council to
transfer liquor licenses and an inter-
esting point has been raised there
which seems to have been overlooked
by the parties who are questioning the
right Of orr own Council to transfer
any license in this city, but which
may have direct effect on the matter
nevertheless. The Racine city char
ter provides that mo member of the
Common Council shall vote upon any
question, matter or resolution in
which he may be directly or Indirect
1y interested" and if there is similar
provision in our own city charter it
is possible that the right of some of
our aldermen to vote on any question
affecting the saloon interests might
be successfully challenged. The at
torney general has held that Councils
have no right to transfer licenses but
until the opinion of the attorney
general is backed up by court de-
cisions it is probable that some APP
plications for transfers will be con-
sidered by our City Council: That
being the case it might be jrst as well
to make certain that all Of our repre-
sentatives IN the Council have right
to vote on these applications before
they come up.

WATER AS AN ISSUE
Rebuilding Of Artesian Water
System in Kenosha to be
Fought Out
DOCTORS TO LEAD IN FIGHT

The rebuilding of the artesian
in the coming municipal campaign,
and an effort has been started in
several portions of the city to secure
the election to the Office of aldermen
of men who will be in favor of the re-
building of this system in order to as
sure pure water for the people of the
city.
DR.. G. Windesheim, one of the best
know physicians Of the city has taken
the initiative in this fight fol purer
water, and he is using all of his own
influence and is rapidly securing the
influence Of other physicians and
prominent citizens in the crusade.
In speaking of the matter DIR. Wind
esheim said that he had gone into the
subject with great deal of care and
that his Investigations had shown that
the city of Kenosha~ could secure a
supply of artesian water for table use
at remarkab1e low cost. He stated
that in many cities, wells had been
drilled to the depth of five thousand
feet in order to get artesian water,
and that the deepest of the artesian
wells in Kenosha was only 1900 feet,
and that it had been proven that a
good flow of artesian water could be
secured at depth of 1900 feet.
Dr.. Windesheim stated that even if
the cost of repiping the city for
artesian water should be 100000 the
money would be well spent and that
he was of the opinion that larg e
number of the people of the city
would be willing to vote for such an
expenditure. DIR. Windesheim has
the support of a majority of the physi-
clans of the city in his fight to secure
the rebuilding of the artesian plant.
If the matter is to be made an issue
in the coming campaign, the promot-
ers will have to get decidedly busy as
only fortnight remains in which to
get candidates into the field who will
be in favor of such large municipal
improvement. In order to rebuild
this water system, it would be neces-
sol ~ A0NO q OOA0 ASSuC duu lnAS
would have to be submitted to the
people before the city could issue the
bonds. DIR. Windeshein claims that
it would not be necessary to put in a
pumping system for1handling the ar
tesian water, as if sufficient number
of wells we're drilled, they would force
the water without pumps. 1t was
stated short time ago by the city
engineer that it would cost $1OO,0 at
least to build a pumping plant and
put in artesian mains, but without the
pumping plant the cost Of the system
would be greatly reduced.
Many people in the city are anxious
to have the artesian water restored TO
its former place, and DR.. Windeshein
will undoubtedly have great deal Of
support from these people.

For a measure on which SO much
time, thought and hot air was ex-
pended, the primary election law is
one of the most mixed up messes that
ever got on the statute books of any
state, but such as it is, the people
voted for it, and the legislature should
let the law alone until it has been
given a fair trial. The people will
indicate clearly enough what changes
they want made as soon as they have
made up their minds.

KENosHA has had enough expert
ence with the naturalization of for
eigners on the eve of an election to
appreciate the improvements in the
methods of making citizens that the
new naturalization laws have brought
about. More than once in the past
the hordes of ignorant foreigners
rushed up for naturalization just be-
fore an election, with the fees for
their papers paid by a campaign COM
mittee, have defeated the will Of the
majority of the intelligent, taxpaying
citizens at the polls, and all good citi-
zens must rejoice that those days are
gone. The new laws cannot fail to
raise the grade of the applicants for
citizenship, and it is pity that leg
islation of this kind was not enacted
long ago.

MAY SELL WINTHROP

It is thought that another effort is
being made to dispose of the property
owned by the Winthrop Harbor and
Dock Co., just north of the Illinois
State line, and this morning there was
filed with the Register of Deeds COM
plete file of allthe actions taken in re-
gard to the land in the United States
court four years ago. These papers
show that the property is now in the
hands of Receiver Edwin Day. The
officials of the company had refused
to execute quit claim deeds to the re-
ceiver and the deed was finally made
by Master in Chancery at the de-
mand Of the United States Court.
It is not known what new move is
to be made in the case, bat it is
thought that purchaser has finally
been found for the site of the famous
Dream City,"

IT is admitted even by it's friends
that the bill providing for municipal
court in Kenosha was not in satisfac-
tory shape when it was introduced in
the legislature, but it had to go in
when it did or not at all at this ses-
sion, and as there was no time to put
the bill in shape here, it was decided
to send it in and let the revision com
mittee work on it. The bill will prob
ably be an entirely different measure
when it is reported from that com
nittee.
