CHANGE POSTAL RATES
Letters to go to Great Britain and Ire
land for Cents After Oct. /.

Postmaster John B. Maloney has re
ceived a communication from the de-
partment announcing that after the
first of next month, the postal rates be-
tween the United States and the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland will be greatly reduced The
present rate between the two countries
is five cents for first class matter, but
after the new rate goes into effect the
letter rate will be two cents the same
as domestic postage. For many years
the postal rates for Canada have been
practically the same as in this country
and the government officials are plan
ming to reduce international postage
just as rapidly as the other countries
will agree to the reduced rates. An
nouncement is also made of a reduction
in the rates of the parcels post to Ger
many and there are similar reductions
to other countries. Full details in re-
gard to these new rates will be made
known at the post Office.

j, {. SLATER NAMED
Democrats Return to Their Old
Love in Naming Officials for
County Committee
OPEN HEADQUARTERS SOON

The Democracy of Kenosha county
showed a tendency to return to its old
time leaders on Saturday afternoon
when John @. Slater, the former leader
Of the party in the county was named
as chairman of the county committee
There was a general demand for the
election Of Slater and in order to keep
within the law 1t was necessary to
have J. Fl. Tully Of the Third ward re-
sign from the committee in order to
get Mr.. Slater place. The law has
been interpreted to demand that both
the chairman and secretary of the com
mittee be named from members of the
committee. Mr.. Slater accepted the
election which came to him without his
seeking it. John DAILY was elected
secretary Of the committee. DAILY had
Ia clearer right to a place on the com
mittee than did Chairman Slater but
he was not elected to the committee
at the primary election. Harry Skinkle
had been elected from the Fourth ward
but he sent his resignation to the com
mittee and DAILY took his place. DAILY
was tied for the second highest number
Of votes cast for committeeman in the
primary, NJ J. Werner of the Seventh
ward was elected as treasurer of the
committee.
There was some kicking on the man
ner in which the committee was manip-
ulated in order to get some of the men
placed, but this dissatisfaction disap-
peared with the election of Mr.. Slater
1t is probable that the Democrats
will provide for the opening of head
quarters at once and Chairman Slater
will appoint subcommittee to have
charge Of the campaign. The Democ-
racy is planning to put up the biggest
fight in a decade this year and the Re
pubicans will have to keep moving to
insure the election of the Republican
ticket.

CRIME MAY BE HALLUcrNAr1oN
Father Bandizzone Makes Statement in
Regard to Madness of Carl Greco

The Rev. Father Bandizzone has ask
ed that an explanation be made in re-
gard to statements attributed to him in
connection with the examination Of Carl
Greco, recently adjudicated insane. At
the time of the examination it was
stated that Greco had killed = man in
Italy and in Chicago and this statement
was made on the authority of the priest.
Father Bandfzzone state that the man s
statement that he had killed man in
Italy and one in Chicago was state
ment made while he was mentally de-
ranged and that he has no other know
legged Of the crime said to have been
committed by Greco. It is possible ac-
cording to the minister that the entire
story of the crime of the man is a pro-
duct of his own diseased mind.
