NAMES JAMES e. FULLY
Kenosha Young Man to be Clerk of the
New Municipal Court

Clifford E. Randall, Judge of the new
Municipal Court in Kcnosha which will
begin operations on the first day Of
May, today named James E. Tully as
clerk Of the court. Under the statute
creating the court the judge is given
the right to name the clerk and his
tenure of Office is with the discretion
of the judge. The appointment of Mr.
Tully as clerk of the court will give
general satisfaction. Mr.. Tuily is one
of the best known stenographers in the
city anu is known to be entirely com
experience in court work as for the
past two years he has served In the
capacity Of court commissioner under
the appointment of Judge Belden and
has in that time handled a number Of
important matters. With the accep-
lance Of the Office Of clerk OF the new
court it will be necessary for him to
give up his office as court commissioner
Tully was the only Kenosha man sug
gested to Judge Randall for the office
and he did not feel that he should go
out of the county to- get candidates for
the important office of clerk Of the new
court.
The court will hold it's first session
on the frs Monday in May and by
that time it is expected that a portion
of the county building now used as a
City Hall, will have been fitted up as
home for the court.

TO OBSERVE HOLIDAY

The committee in charge of the de-
dication Of the Lincoln Memorial on
Decoration Day have taken up the mat
ter with the various factory managers
in the city and several of them have
already announced that they will cele-
brate Memorial Day on Monday May
31st and that they will be perfectly
willing to give their men chance to
take part in the celebration. This will
be Of interest to the men on account
Of the fact that many of them are
members Of the organizations in the
city which have been asked to take part
in the parade. The committee has
sent invitations to all the lodges in the
city to take part in the parade and
many Of them have already accepted
the invitation.

Mohammedans Begin PiIlaging ia
City Where Rev. [. 0. Lee
Is Teaching on Monday
NO WORD FROM MISSIONARY
Friends are Hopeful That He Might
Have Been Attending the Mission
Conference at Adana and
Thus Escaped Death

Friends and relatives Of the Rev..
Lucius O. Lee in Somers and Kenosha
are greatly disturbed today on account
| of the dispatches from Marash in Asia
tic Turkey which declare that in an
outbreak in that city On Monday after
noon twenty Christians were killed
and that it was feared that unless inn
mediate relief was sent the massacre
at Marash would be far more wide
reaching than that at Adana several
days ago, All day today the relatives
of the Kenosha County Missionary have
been hoping against hope that they
would receive some cablegram telling
of his safety and they are keeping in
close touch with the American Mission
Board, but no word has been received
from Marash beyond the press telegram
that Christians were killed in the first
outbreak. The friends Of DIR. Lee
think that it is just possible that he
is in Adana and while his peril would
be decidedly great there he might be
able to save his life
DR. Lee went to Adana on last Thurs
day to attend the annual mission con-
ference at which missionary workers
from all parts Of Asiatic Turkey were
represented. It is possible that the I'm,
settled conditions throughout that part
Of Asia caused all Of these people to
remain in Adana. There has been no
list of the dead given out and the
most strenuous efforts of press associa-
tions fail to secure such list.
DR.. Lee has been in the mission field
in Asiatic Turkey for more than thirty
years. He was born in the town of
Somers, educated at s1e Ke1osha High
School and later graduated at Oberlin
college. He studied TOR the ministry
at Evanston and afterward went at
once to Aintab where he remained until
he went to Marash to take charge of
tie Theological college there. DR.. Lee
has one daughter Mary Lee, a former
Kemper Hall student and a former
resident of Kenosha She formerly
was with her father III Marash, but is
now in this country.

ELKS TOURNAMENT OPENS
First Round Of Matches Draws Large
Crowd to Elks Club

The first nights play of the Elks
pool tournament drew a large crowd Of
interested spectators to the lodge
rooms on Monday evening and more
interest is being taken in the tourna-
ment than in any former event at the
club rooms. Only four pairs were able
to play off the preliminary round on
Monday evening and as the number Of
entries was increased at that time it
is probable that it will take full
week to play off the first round. The
results Of the matches played on Mon
day evening. follows:
George W. Taylor defeated. w 7
Marlatt 60 to A; A. Ebert defeated
G. L. Miller 100 to 81; j. R. Gottfred-
sen defeated Frank Jackson 100 to
80 and Harry S. Brown defeated Harry
Bright so to 30.

FEARS Fol: LEE
Well Known Kenosha County Mission
airy Near Scene of Turkish Outrages

Grave fears are felt in the town of
Somers for the safety of the Rev.
Lueius O. Lee of that town, who is
work in the mission field Of Asiatic
Turkey. DR.. Lee is now the president
of the Theological Seminary at Marash,
Turkey, and is within a short distance
of the place where the disturbances
have taken place. He was formerly
located at Aintod, the scene of the
greatest disturbances Reports from
Turkey state that tho uprising against
the Christians is rapidly spreading all
over that part Of Asia and it is pretty
certain that Marash will be one of the
first cities to feel the weight Of the
anti Chri stan feeling.

citizens OF the burden imposed by be-
ing compelled to submit to the demands
Of corporation having monopoly of

"By recent legislation Municipal
Court has been created for Kenosha
county The creation of this court
naturally implies that the city must in
the near future vacate it's present
Council room and city offices.
There are few cities of the size of
Kenosha, and none of it's importance,
that are without thoroughly equipped,
modern, up-to-date city hall.
Our finances are such that we can
do nothing for the present other than
consider the ways and means Of build
ing suitable building for city hall
some time in the future.
In the meantime, [ would suggest
that the present Council room and
clerks office be retained; the Council
room used during the day as a court
room, the engineer IS office for the Judge
or for jury room and that new quart
ers be procured for the city engineer
if such an arrangement would meet the
approval of the County Board and
Common Council.
sNThe most important question for
the present Council to consider will be
the proposed trunk sewer in the south
ern part of the city.
"Our present sewers are taxed to
their full capacity and it would be
useless to attempt to argue that the
trunk sewer is not an absolute neces-
sity; to delay action is to retard the
growth Of the city and to endanger
the health Of those inhabitants sur
rounded by unsanitary conditions and
who cannot avail themselves of the
privileges of the public sewer system.
the outgoing Council and an-appropri-
alton made SO that the construction Of
the sewer could be commenced the
present season. The plan and details,
however, must be considered by the
present Council and appeal to each
member to give this vital and import
ant question his most serious atten
ton.
SsThe mayor is constantly receiving
inquiries from manufacturers and
others looking for locations and seek
ing building sites, and until we can
assure adequate sewerage we are at a
disadvantage and are handicapped by
cities having proper sewer facilities.
Notwithstanding our limited f.
nances, it may be necessary to take
some action for repairing and strength
ening the breakwater along the lake
front.
"By the building Of the breakwater
the property OF our citizens was saved,
and the preservation Of the ~breakwater
insures the protection of the property
adjoining the lake front.
Il urge the committee on break
water to examine carefully it's condi-
ton and I recommend such expendi
lures, if necessary, as the situation
may require.
"The prosecution Of the work to
completion of paving Market Square
and other pavements contracted for,
and the limited funds at our command
will not warrant me in suggesting
further necessary improvements.

GIVE FINAL ORDER
Strange Inscriptions on Monuments
Erected by Lewis Knapp Are
Destroyed and Metal
Thrown Away

KENOSHA, Wis. Sept. 16.-Lewis
Knapp, q late pioneer resident OF
Kenosha, who erected a series Of in
scribed monuments in the Kenosha city
cemetery to hand down his derision OF
the Christian church, will fail of his
purpose, as 1t is announced today that
eight monuments which have stood in
the cemetery for more than thirty
years will be taken down and de-
stroyed, and the razing of them VIII
be done in such q manner that not one
of the 10000 words of inscription on
the metallic columns will remain.
For years Knapp worked on the
composing of the agnostic inscriptions
on the monuments, and when they
were completed they made one OF the
most remarkable arraignments of the
Christian religion known to history
Men have gone thousands of miles to
read and copy the strange inscriptions
and it is declared that when they were
sent to a foundry to be cast upon
monuments of metal which would
withstand fire as we'll as the natural
effects of the elements, the men WORK
ing in the foundry went on strike
because they feared that the handIng
of such matters would call down the
wrath of God upon them.
The surviving relatives of Knapp are
not in sympathy with many OF ms De-
liefs. and they yesterday signed an
agreement that the monuments be
taken out, broken into small pieces and
the debris be buried or thrown into the
lake

POSTAL SAVINGS
BANK APPROVED
CONVENTION OF FlNANCIERS
SHOWS ATTITUDE
LETTER FROM LEAGUE URGES
FAVORABLE ACTION
EplstIe Favorlng New System of Bank
Ing Is Read to Delegates lndl-
ViduaIy, but Withheld
from Assembly
IBv Associated Press. ]

CHICAGO, Sept. 16.-The postal saw
ings bank question came to the fore
today at the meeting of the savings
bank section of the american Bankers
association convention. In the midst
Of a committee report adverse to postal
savings banks and speeches deprecating
the entrance of the government into
the banking business. an open letter
was received from the Postal Savings
Bank league Of the United States.
The letter was addressed to George
M. Reynolds, president of the Ameri-
can Bankers association, and was
signed by julius Goldserer, president
of the league. In part the latter says:
1.-THE recent expressions of officers OF
your association tend to show spirit
of opposition to postal savings banks
which, while contrary to public opin-
ion, is also, as we believe, contrary
to the best interests of your business.
1.-THE dominant party is most sol
emnly pledged to the establishment OF
peoples banks, yet in the same breath
in which you make a proposition in be-
half of the moneyed interests Ga CEN
tral bank under government supervi-
sion), you ask the legislative and ex-
GCuLlNb POWSlo " Ae5AAOAO GNU
the pledges given to the body of the
people in platforms and official doc
uments."
Ask for Assistance
The league calls on the bankers fol-
assistance in securing postal savings
banks in the following words:
Here Is the place and the time when
broad patriotism urges that opposition
to the postal depositary measure fav-
ored by President Taft shall cease, and
that the American Bankers association
win the trust, esteem and profound re-
spect of the American people by pub
licly and frankly indorsing that meas
ure, unmindful of seeming and immedi-
ate self-interest to the contrary.
Experience in other countries has
shown that so far from injuriously af-
fecting the banking business, postal
savings banks have acted as feeders
to banks in easing deposits In num-
ber and volume"
Mr.. Reynolds showed the letter to n
number of delegates today, but no
action was taken. 1t is said the let
ter, If read at all, will fall, for the
most part, on unfriendly ears.
Practically every speech made so far
at the bankers convention has been
adverse to postal savings banks.
This mornings speakers. II. 5.
Henscher of Chicago, John H. Johnson,
president of the savings bank section,
and H. M. Zimmerman, were all
against this form of banking.
