LITTLE CHANGE IN THE FUNDS
Harbor and Breakwater is Cut and
Other Funds VIII be Just About the
Same as Provided Last Year-To
Report Monday.

The Finance Committee of the Com
mon Council met at the city hall on
Thursday evening to frame its annual
report on which the tax levy for the
year will be made and it was practical
ly agreed that the levy for the coming
year will be the same as last year,
thirteen mills. The committee was in
session until nearly midnight seeking
a way to meet the increased demands
of the city without making an increase
in the taxes and at the close Of the
meeting the committee had reached
the decision that an increased tax levy
was well nigh an impossibility Under
conditions in Kenosha and that the
work done by the city in the coming
year would have to be curbed in order
to avoid the taxes being burdensome
on the property owners.
With big increase in the valuation
of the property Of the city the thirteen
mill levy will bring 1886, 651.51 an in
crease of $4,000 over the amount lev
led in 1909. In addition to this the
committee has placed the amount to be
received from all other sources includ-
ing licenses at $57, 900 and this is an
increase of $4,000 over the amount COM
ing from I'll same source last year. This
will give the city total of 1912, 651 81
to meet its demands for next year
which will be an increase Of close to
$4,000. This amount will be demanded
to meet the cost of completing and fur
nishing the city hall There is a de-
crease of more than $4,000 in state
and county taxes from last years fig
ures and this will make it possible for
the committee to make provisions for
the payment of bonds and interest fall
ing due. Under the arrangements
reached with the adjournment of the
committee Thursday night the funds for
the various departments of the city
with the exception of Harbor and
Breakwater will be made about the
same us they were last year. The Har-
Dor fund will be cut and the amount
taken from it added to the other funds.
This will make possible the division
of some $4,000 among the other funds.
The committee has carefully can
vassed the financial condition of the
city and it feels convinced that the
deficit at the close of the city's fiscal
year will not be any larger than it
was year ago and it may be slightly
smaller.
Economy will be suggested along
many lines for the coming year and it
is thought that after another year the
city will be better able to produce more
money and provide for improvements
now pending. The members of the com
mittee have each been given a copy of
the figures made Thursday night and
they Will seek to work out the scheme
of appropriations and a compromise
win be made at the final committee
meeting. The report of the committee
win be made to the council on next
Monday evening as under the law the
annual levy of the taxes must be made
at that time.

Flying Rollers of Benton

HAVE met WITH PROSECUTION

DSACoH aIOoI Htdy 4oSS lIs CoAOAly VA
"Flying Rollers" and some other city
may be chosen as the gathering place
of these twelve lost tribes of Israel.
1t is extremely possible that the
colony will locate near Zion City. There
is community of Flying Rollers, num-
bering twenty, now in Zion City, but
they are not especially prominent or
strong as yet. Benjamin Purnel is the
head of the Benton Harbor colony.
Purnell and his wife, Mary, founded
the colony near Benton Harbor SIX
years ago, and it now has 500 inhabi-
tants. Benjamin teaches the doctri
of immortal life and is esteemed by
his followers, who contentedly farm
the 600-acxe tract of land owned by
the organization, working without pay
except food and lodging and patiently
awaiting the millennium.
BENJAMIN says he will be the ruler
of the twelve lost tribes, now num-
bering about $4,000 persons. and UNI
til a few days ago when reports of
the contemplated removal to some
other location began. Benton Harbor
was accepted by all as the place of
the grand gathering. Now all is
changed and most of the "Rollers
are preparing to move.
When Purnell came there and estab-
lished the "Flying Rollers" home.
small place, he had only hundred or
more converts gathered from many
places, but little by little the leader
has added to his possessions I'M
til now he either owns or leases 300
acres of tillable soil, runs an amuse-
ment park in the summer and spends
the winter months sending mission
aries throughout this country and
abroad. Today Benton Harbor, by the
existence of the Israelite colony, en-
tertains more Australians than will be
found in any other part of the coun-
try. Australia has proved the most
fertile of all lands for Benjamin, for
there his preachings have taken seed
and produced results.
Various reasons are given for the
Israelites contemplating move from
Michigan. The failure Of the fruit
crop last spring brought loss, causing
Benjamin and his subordinates no end
of worry. Fruit has been a big source
of revenue and has contributed large
ly to stocking the commissary depart
ment of the colony.
Litigation has also piled up on Ben
lamin IS hands in the last three years.
Half a dozen rich men and women
have Joined the colony, turned their
possessions over to the Israelites and
then, becoming tired of wearing long
hair and waiting for the rest of the
$4,000 to gather, have demanded their
money OacK- In some instances they
got it and in others the courts had a
case or two to settle.
The climax of this expensive Iiti-
cation came recently when Benjamin
was arrested on a capias. He furnish
ed bond and now jury must pass on
the case of a Minnesota farmer, Mar
tin Swami, who joined the colony,
turned over $3.50 and big herd of
cattle.

a sneak thief on Wednesday. Mrs.

bag containing her papers and her
purse in one of the cloak rooms Of

the pocketbook had been removed from

famous MURDER
CASE IN TRIAL
Famous Murder Case in
Which Wife is Charged
With Crime.

Kirksville, Mo-, Nov. 14-Both the
prosecution and the defense in the
so-called Vaughn murder case are
busily engaged in completing ar
engagements for the trial, which will
take place at the November term of
the circuit court which convened to-
day at Lancaster, near here. The
unusual mystery surrounding the
murder, if murder there-was, and the
prominence of all the praties coz
cenned have combined to attract wide
attention to the case, and the trial
promises to be one of the most not
able of it's kind that has taken place
in Missouri in a long time.
The defendants in the case are
Mrs. Alma Proctor Vaughn. widow
of the alleged victim, and DR.. James
r. Hull, who was Mrs. Vaughn's fam
lily physician. The two are accused
of poisoning Mrs. Vaughn's husband,
Prof. John T. Vaughn, who was one
of Missouri's leading educators and
at the time Of his death filled the
chair of the American history in the
state normal school here.
The death of Prof. Vaughn oc-
Cured Oct IA, 1909. Though APP
parently in the best of health when
he arrived home from church on the
night of his death, he died in con-
vulsions thirty minutes latr. At the
time. however, no one suspected that
his death was not natural or at any
rate accidental.
The frivolous behavior of the wild
ow within a few days after the death
lie suspicion and later led to an Of
lie suspicion an dlater led to an Of
fetal inquiry into the cause of Prof.
Vaughn's sudden death. The body
was exhumed and an examination by
the chemist of Missouri State uni
versity is said to have disclosed the
presence of strychnine. The grand
jury then returned indictments
charging first degree murder against
Mrs. Vaughn and DR.. Hull. who had
ben her physician and on, intimate
terms with her family, who are
wealthy residents of Monroe City.
Eminent counsel have been re-
tanned to defend Mrs. Vaughn and
DR.. Hull. 1t is understood that the
defense will rely upon a contention
that Prof. Vaughn was in the habit
of taking tablets containing strych-
nine and that his death was the re-
suit of an accidental overdose of the
medicine.

WOULD A[LAY
ALL FURTHER
CRITICISM
Will Recommend That Con
gress Authorize Placing
of Case in Court.

Washington, Nov. 14.-In order to
prevent further criticism of the in
terror department for it's handling of
the Cunningham Alaskan coal claims
which precipitated the BallingerPin-
chot investigation, Secretary Balm
ger will recommend in his annual
report that congress authorize the
placing of these cases under the
jurisdiction of the court of appeals
of the District of Columbia.
Mr.. Ballinger tonight issued a
statement containing an excerpt from
his annual report, which was placed
in the hands of the president before
the latter departed for Panama. He
declares that while decision of the
cases by the officers of the land de-
partment would be impartial as a
court decision, it would not have the
effect of putting at rest the vague and
distorted notions entertained by
many as to the wholly disinterested
motives of the department officers on
whom the burden now rests for their
disposition"
The statement continues in part:
1.-The Cunningham entries made in
1907 have provoked wide discussion
and popular interest, largely because
of their value and method of attempt
ed acquisition. Wholly unfounded
charges have been spread broadcast
involving the attitude Of department.
al officers toward these cases.
t'In view of these conditions, |
deemed it OF the highest importance
that all these cases, involving 33 en-
tries, or $3.50 acres of coal lands, be
transferred from the Jurisdiction of
general land Office direct to the court
Of appeals of the District of Column
bia, for consideration and adjudica-
ton, without the necessity of rul-
ing as to the validity of said entries
by the commissioner of the general
land office as is now required in such
cases."

1t was the delay in receiving the
books which delayed the count at
the primary election in September.

the books had not arrived from the
general election. As the county at
torney is member of the canvass

the murder case now on trial, it is
not likely that the count can be made
until sometime next week.
