John Kennedy for nineteen years a:
resident of Virginia and during all
that time connected with the Water,
Light and Power plant of this city,
has resigned his position as superin-
tendent. ! f.
Mr.. Kennedy's resignation was made
public today. twill be effective next
month, and his successor will prob
ably be c. T. Harding of Kansas City,
Mo. News of Mr.. Kennedy's resigna-
tion will be received with regret by
many friends in Virginia. He has
been connected with the water, light
and power plant ID ) 'Virsirlia= for Sd
long that he has come to be regarded
as a fixture. Mr.. Kennedy came to
Virginia nineteen years ago to ac-
cept the position as superintendent.
He. was an exceptionally competent
mechanic and the fine equipment of
the Virginia municipal plant today is
in large measure due to Mr.. Ken
nedy's foresight.
Since the city Of Virginia became
the owner of the electric light and
water plant Mr.. Kennedy has acted
as superintendent, where he has given
the same uniform satisfaction, that he
did as the virtual head of the plant
under private ownership.
Mr.. Kennedy's resignation is made
necessary by large outside interests.
He is 1nember~of firm which has
recently been granted a gas franchise
in the city of New Ulm and while his
plans for the future are indefinite and
unsettled, he said this morning that it
was quite probable that within short
time, he would change his residence
from Virginia to New Ulm.
On the Mesaba range Mr.. Kennedy
is known as a skilled and practical
electrician and one of the first au-
thorities on the range on the operation
of the electric lighting, power water
and heating plants. :.
Mr.. c. T. Harding; Of Kansas City,
Mo-, who will in all probability sue
ceed Mr.. Kennedy, is called a skilled
technical engineer. Mr.. Harding is
highly recommended to the water and
light commission of Virginia and has
been chosen because he is regarded as
exceptionally well versed in technical
engineering problems, effecting the
operation of the municipal plant.

CAN MONEY FOR ARMORY
, PURPOSES BE USED FOR
ROAD IMPROVEMENTS?

HIBBINts, pr1l off
GERS Of Company M have raised point
in appropriation expenditure which the
village officers are passing along to
the state authorities for answer.
Members of the company are desir-
GUS of seeing a portion of the money
now set aside for armory purposes
expended for road improvements.
While the money is donated by the
village it is given under a state stat
ute, therefore the council members
prefer to have the state authority be-
fore acting in the matter.

his government is concerned.

this government is concerned.
"But we are dealing with facts.
Wherever and whenever the dignity
Of the United States, it's international
rights or the rights Of it's citizens are
transgressed, where it has the right to
exercise it this government will deal
with those actually in control
"It is now dealing with General
Huerta in the territory he controls.
That he does not rightfully control it
does not alter the fact that he does
control it. We are dealing moreover
only with those whom he commands
and those who come to his support
With these people we must deal
whether or not they lawfully repre-
sent the people of Mexico.
"In that fact we rejoice, however,
our fight is not with the Mexican
people and we do not desire to die
tate their affairs, but we must en-
eorce our rightful demands upon those
FOR the present representing the
existing authorities"
After issuing this statement de-
claring that action in Mexico would
be directed solely against Huerta
President Wilson cancelled all routine
engagements to devote the entire day
to the Mexican situation.
Plan to Seize Railroad.
It is learned that the navy depart
ment has made plans for the early
seizure of the railroad from Vera
Cruz to Mexico city.
A reconnoitreing party reported
still intact the two bridges on the
railroad, one ten miles and one eigh-
teen miles west of Vera Cruz.
Officers at Vera Cruz reported that
these bridges must be protected il
Vera Cruz is to be made the base OF
further operations, because the bridges
could not readily be rebuilt, if .des.
troyed.

WILL DISCUSS IDEA
OF COUNTY HOSPITAL

HIBBING, April ga meeting of
the village council will be held to-
night to discuss the proposition of an
nexing town 1921 to the township
of Stuntz, in order that some proposed
road improvement may come within
the province of the township, rather
than the county.
The proposed joint hospital and
work farm for the range district is
another matter which the council will
consider at the meeting. The COM
mercial clubs Of the range villages
are practically unanimous in support
ing the plan, but have not yet got to-
gether on the question of location.

O'Shaughnessy the American charge
at Mexico City has been handed his
passports by General Huerta and is
preparing to leave the city. This an
nouncement made by the state de-
partment early today intensified the
situation and caused sensation as
it was believed to forecast declara-
tion Of war by General Huerta. It is
probable that Charge Algara will quit
Washington when he learns of Huer-
ta's latest move.
Carranza Sends Note to Wilson.
General Carranza has sent note
to President Wilson declaring that the
seizure. of Vera Cruz is violation Of
the rights of the Mexican constitutions
alists and inviting the United States
forces to withdraw. Carranza's note
is interpreted as an indication that the
constitutionalists and federals will
make common cause against the
United States and adds new crisis
to the general situation.
Twelve Americans Killed.
A dispatch from Admiral Badger
says that IL Americans were killed
and so wounded in the occupation Of
Vera Cruz. Eight men were killed
and 80 wounded in yesterdays fight

terday's casualties at two killed and
ten wounded. Badger added that the
city is now under control. ....e-.. -.

the high school.
Jackson Star Athlete

athlete in the Menominee high school.

determine the five best athletes in the
school. His name was placed on a
shield of special design and placed in
the gymnasium.
It was Jackson's great 5O-yard run
for touchdown that made it possi-
bic for Carroll college Of Waukesha,
Wis.,, to score against the fast Law
renee university football team few
years ago. Jackson held the position
of left halfback and during the last
quarter of the game, he caught for
ward pass and after giving the
straight arm to two of Lawrence's
huskies, planted the oval back of the
Lawrence goal.
Jackson was also strong in the shot
put, broad jump, pole vault, high jump
and mile run while he was in high
school and college. In 1911 he was
considered one of the star track men
in the western colleges.

Three Nations Have Promised

Fight for the CoIors.

ST PETERSBURG. Sept. 2.-As
the war develops along the frontiers
of Germany, Austria and Russia the
more tragic becomes the position of
the Poles. In the fighting lines of the
three armies they are forced to COM
NIT fratricide.
All three powers have promised the
Poles the restoration of their rights.
and even independence. Especially
has this been the case in Austria,
where the government encouraged its
Polish subjects to stand by the duca'
monarchy because they have enjoyed
parliamentary autonomy in Galicia
for the last forty years and been
allowed to use their own language
and customs.
The Poles there consequently re-
sponded readily to the appeal of the
Austrian government. Two purely
Polish regiments were formed, wear
ing the old Polish uniforms and car
rying the banners of old Poland. I'm
der the command of their own off,
GERS these regiments easily penetrated
into the provinces of Kielce, Sando-
mir and Lubin, in Polish Russia. With
the forward movement of Russian
troops these provinces are suffering
tremendously.
