PRIVATE MARX
DIES IN FRANCE
Private Stephen ]. Marx
Dies in Hospital in France
From Wounds Received
On Battle Line.
WAS REPORTED MISSING

Relatives and friends of Private
Stephen J. Marx need watch the cas-
ualty lists no longer for trace of
this Kenosha soldier, who has been re-
ported 1smissing in action Mrs.
Theresa Marx, mother of the Kenosha
soldier, received official notification on
Monday afternoon that her son had died
| in a hospital ins France from wounds
received in action in the fierce fighting
that marked the close Of the war on
the Western front. The death message
was the first word which had been
heard concerning the soldier for sew
eral months and the relatives had some
time ago given up any hope that he
might still be living.
At the home at 1854 Orange street,
Mrs. Marx told the few known details
in regard to the supreme sacrifice made
/ by Private Marx. The last information
came through the American Red Cross,
when nurse wrote to the family in
Kenosha that Private Marx was in the
American hospital at Tours suffering
ITum SeV6EC WUuuuS ltC6lNSu III dCl1Ou
early in July. 1t is known that the
| Kenosha soldier was IN the 140th In
fantry and because they participated in
the bloody fighting in the battle around
Fesmette, it is believed that Private
Marx was wounded there This letter
had followed the government report on
the casualty list that Private Marx
was "missing in action' and for a
while brought hope to the family that
| the Kenoshan might still recover. The
fact that no letters have been re-
ceived lately had long ago dissipated
all hope.
Private Marx, while he enlisted to
serve the flag at Milwaukee, was ma
tive born Kenoshan and had lived here
practically all Of his life. He with his
brother, John Marx, was sent to Camp
Custer and the brothers remained in the
same company for several months train
ing. When they reached France the
unit was broken UP and Private Steph-
He had written but one letter since he
1 reached Europe and this had merely
stated that he had arrived safely and
was anxious to get into the fight and
help win the war for democracy. Priv
ate John Marx has not heard OF his
brothers. death as he wrote several
weeks ago from the point Of embarka-
ton in France asking of his where
abouts.
The death of Private Marx in
France will place the seventy second
gold star in Kenosha county's service
| flag. He is survived by his mother, by
| four sisters and FIVE brothers, all of
Kenosha. 1t is believed that the War
Department will later send to the rela-
tives a more complete account of
the way in which the Kenosha patriot
received the wounds which caused his
death.

SYNOPSIS OF COLONIAL COUNCIL
MEETING OF TUESDAY
JUNE 10. 1919.

The meeting was called to order at LOU
o. m. and the minutes OF the previous
meeting so far as published in the st.
Croix Avis and the conclusion read out
out by the Councils Assistant, tacltly
adopted. The order of the day was then
proceeded with and there was at first
little discussion raised, except on the
matter of one or W. clauses IN the VITA!
statistics bill to which amendments mao
been proposed by LIST elected member for
Christiansted country district, Stakemann;
one, to delete from section 8 OF the draft,
%theprovision to hold post mortem examln-
atoms in cases where there was reason to
believe that the individual died OF a qua
rantinable disease. The speaker argued
that if it was ascertained beforehand that
the patient had died of a Quarantinable
disease, the poStmortem examination was
unnecessary and useless except In the in
terest of science, a reason which did not
Justify autOpsies in the United States, ac-
cording to authorities from which he read
to the house. Upon being put to the
vote, however, the amendment wal lost.
The other amendment referring to par.
2. sec. IL of said draft and Directing
to the responsibility imposed on house
holders or owners to report births Oc-
curing on their premises, was strenu
ously deliberated upon by the speak
err who demonstrated the burden amount
ing to impossibility, of fulfilling this re-
ouiremert. End appointed member Noll
made known that the provision objected
to was embodied in the old ordinance
which had been for a long time and was
still, in force. To this 1st elected mem
Der for Christiansted country district
Stakemann showed that the provision
as it applied formerly was almost negligi-
bic owing to there having been district
midwives whose special business in
Guided the report of births, which it
was evident they were in a more in
formed position to undertake than the
house owner. The midwives however
had been removed from their districts,
by what authority he did not know,
and consequently the duty to report
births will devolve upon the house or
, 1919-06-12

FrederikSted Town Coulter informed
the Council that although not officially
authorized or inspired to say 80, he had
reasons to believe that the old system
as regards the district midwives would
be ~re-eStabliShed in the near future.
After some further discussion the
amendment was put to the vote and
carried. The budget next became the
subject of discussion and the expendl-
lures, especially those for road repair,
were threshed out in detail by 4th APP
pointed member BIackwood whose re-
marks in connection with the at
tention needed on certain roads were
replied to by 9Th Appointed Member
Lunney who advanced sundry 1for-
nation on that question. lst elected
member for Christiansted country dis
trict Stakemann thought the formality
of presenting the budget for the ap-
proval of the Council might as well be
dispensed with in view of the fact
that there was a large deficit and no
one knew how it would be covered,
and wherefore he di1 not see how the
Council could vote money which was
not on hand. He referred to the
amount of the immigration Fund ap-
pearing among the items OF reve-
nue. on the budget, and questioned
the transfer of that fund to the gen
eral funds of the municipality, quot.
ing from official correspondence be-
tween the United States and Denmark
when concluding the sale treaty, an i'm
piled agreement that all public funds
found in the treasury of the ISLANDS
should remain separate and be used only
for the purposes for which they had
been established. The speaker showed
that in view of the decreasing labor in
the island the immigration Fund may be
required to obtain labor, for even though
it was against the policy of the United
S. ates Government to import labor,
it might be found advisable to waive that
policy in the amelioration of the con-
di:ions peculiar to this colony. 1st elect
ed member for Frederiksted country dis
trict Andersen and others concurred in
this opinion.
At close of that discussion the Gov
ernor and Secretary left the meeting.
Then followed resolution from LIST elect
ed member for Christiansted country
district Stakemann on the question Of
eligibility of 9Th. appointed member
Lunney. After reading the resolution
which will appear in extenso when the
proceedings of the meeting are officially
published in this paper the speaker
prefaced his remarks by explaining that
he was not animated by any personal
motives but considele ed it proper that the
