Chicago, Dec ga citizen police

regular force, is being formed here

Chicago the largest police force in
the world. According to the plan, sug-
gested by seven nillionaires. members
of the Industrial club of Chicago,
every block in the city will have
a -itiZen policeman serving without
pay. He will work with the police and
health authorities in the district.
1t IS hoped that he will prod into
action the careless cops on the regular
force. The first duty of the citizen
policeman will be to gain the friend
ship of the patrolnan on the beat. His
chief work will be observation. He
will not have the power 20 make an
arrest, but is expected tC report IN

MO. AUDITOR UPHELD
Court Rules Official Was Right in
Withholding state Revenue Funds
From Missouri school Fund.

jefferson City, Dec. 22.-The action
of John Gordon, state auditor in with
holding 100000 of the state revenue
from the school fund was upheld by
the Missouri supreme court today. The
court ordered 100000, which had
been set aside pending the courts de-
cision, to be placed in the school fund.
The court ruled that antitrust
fines. 180,314 excess fees from the
insurance department. and fees from
factory inspection are not Ordinary
revenue, and that, therefore, no part
of these revenues should go to the
school fund.
For several years these funds have
been counted as Ordinary revenue
and a part has been set aside for
school purposes. This year, however,
the state officials decided that the
money did not belong to the schools
and should be devoted to general pur-
poses. The fund withheld originally
was in excess, of $514,503. OF this
amount 1894, 189 was set aside pend
ing the decision of the court. A
friendly suit was brought in the SUI
prane court to determine whether the
funds belonged to the echool fund.

headquarters. Louis p Lockner,
Ford's secretary, notified the students
that the Detroit manufacturer will
contribute $4,000 toward a new uni
versity building.
Mrs. Katherine Leckes, publicity
agent for Ford, issued a statement
addressed to the Norwegian press to-
day, declaring that the opinion of the
American press with regard to the
Ford enterprise had suddenly turned
favorable.
1t Has Cost s125.0OO.
London, Dec; 22.-Henry Ford's
peace trip has already cost him $125,-
900. He gave $4,000 in tips to the
steward and stokers of the Oscar II.
according to a Christiania dispatch to
the Evening News.
Mr.. Ford says he is willing to spend
$1O0,0O0,000 to stop the war, but he
has given up all idea of getting the
boys out of the trenches by Christ
mas"
Mr. Ford is still quite i'll.
A Christiania dispatch to the Lon
don Times says:
The general impression is that
Ford is an idealist and dreamer A
sort of Tolstoi, whose honesty and
unselfishness are beyond question
so far the party has not succeeded
in recruiting many Norwegians, some
of whom have demanded the exclu-
sion of Madame Schwimmer as an un-
uncertainty as to the intentions OF the
party.
TT seems likely, however. that the
pilgrims will spend Christmas IN
Copenhagen. Only a small delegation
is likely to go to The Hague.
One Delegate Died.
LLOYD M Bingham, husband OF
Amelia Bingham, well known actress.
and a member of the Ford peace
party, died here today of pneumonia.
Bingham, one of the first to accept
Ford's invitation, accompanied the
expedition as an official entertainer.
He made many friends among the
peace delegates, but his Bohemianlsm
offended some of the more Puritanical
of the yoyagers. They succeeded in
having called off the concert Bing-
ham had arranged to be held in mid
atlantic and urged that he be left be-
hind at Christiania.
Bingham became ill in the midst of
his disapprobation. He contracted
pleuro-pneumonia ABOARD ship and
was removed to a hospital the day
after the Oscar II reached Chrtstiania.
Arrangements are being made to ship
his body back to New York.
Shadow Over Party.
The death of the party's chief en-
Ford peace arrangements today and
it is possible that meetings scheduled
for this afternoon will be cancelled.
The Norwegian press became more
friendly toward the Ford enterprise
today. They commented favorably on
Ford's peace pledge of a gift of $10,-
900 to the Norwegian students for
university building.
Bingham was the husband of Amelia
Bingham, the actess. who is now with
a movie company. He was formerly
a stage director and has acted as his
wife's manager since their marriage

ANC0NA WRANCLE
Confined from Page One,


tro-H Hungarian admiralty with regard
to the sinking of the steamship An
coma in which it was admitted the
vessel was torpedoed, after her engines
had been stopped, and when passen-
gers were still on board
This admission alone, is, in the
view of the government of the United
States. sufficient to fix upon the COM
mander of the submarine which fired
the torpedo the responsibility for hav-
ing wilfully violated the recognized
law of nations and entirely disregard
ed those humane principles winch
every belligerent should observe in
the conduct of war at sea. In view of
these admitted circumstances the gov
eminent of the United States feels
justified in holding that the details of
the sinking of the AncOna, the weight
and character of the additional teSti-
mony corroborating the admiralty re-
port and the number of Americans
killed or injured are in no way essen
tial matters of discussion. The culpa-
bility of the commander is. in any
case, established and the undisputed
fact is that citizens of the United
States were killed. injured or put in
jeopardy by his Iawless act
Debate Unnecessary.
THE rules of international law and
the principles of humanity which were
thus wilfully violated by the comman-
der of the submarine have been so
long and so universally recognized
and are manifest from the stand
point of right and Justice, that the
government of the United States does
not feel called upon to debate them
and does not understand that the i'm
perial and royal government questions
or disputes them.
1.-The government of the United
States therefore finds no other course
open to it but to hold the imperial and
royal government responsible for the
act of it's naval commander, and to re-
new the definite but respectful de-
mands made in its communication of
the 9Th of December, 1915.
''It sincerely hopes the foregoing
statement of its position will enable
the imperial and royal government to
perceive the justice of those demands,
and to comply with them in the same
spirit of frankness and with the same
concern for the good relations now
existing between the United States
and Austria-Hungary which prompted
the government of the United States
to make them
