Gov. Cats Tries a New Method of
Approach in the Polk County
Fight

Tallahassee, July 26.-Gov' Sidney
j. Cats has removed John A. Moore
from office and appointed DR.. w. L.
Clifton outright, instead of reinstat-
ing him in the superintendent of pub
lie instruction fight in Polk county.
The action has been contemplated by
friends of Mr.. Moore for several day
or ever since Gov Cats visited Bar
tow, following his attempt to rein
state Dr. Clifton.
AS stated before it was after Gov.
Cats reviewed the decision of the
supreme court in sexonerating DR..
Clifton from any irregularity in Of
flee, and after reviewing the evidence
committed to him, on which he remov-
ed Dr.. Clifton, that he decided to re.
instate the former superintendent.
Soon after the reinstatement order
the question Of whether the governor
could reinstate after the senate had
acted on the dismissal came up.
In the order dismissing Mr.. Moore
the governor sets out that it has been
officially made known to him that
Mr.. Moore is guilty of malfeasance,
misfeasance and neglect Of duty, and
that he (Moore) is incompetent to
fill the Office. The order suspending
Mr.. Moore from Office was made
July 1s, and two days later he issued
another proclamation appointing DR.
Clifton.
It was on the day the order was
issued appointing DR.. Clifton that the
governor communicated with the at
torney general seeking advice as to
whether he could issue an executive
odrer to the sheriff of Polk county
and have the latter eject Mr.. Moore
from the offiee. IN reply to this in

tions and other campaign issues, Gov.
James NJ. Cox. President Wilson and
Franklin D. Roosevelt issued the state
ments printed below:
Governor Cox
From every viewpoint the meeting
was delightful. The President was at
his best, recalling any detail inquired
about as bearing upon the interna.
tional situation and enlivening the
whole conferences with a humorous
anecdote now and then in his old-time
characteristic way. We are agreed
as to the meaning and sufficency Of
the Democratic platform and the duty
of the party in the face of threatened
bad faith to the world in the name of
America.
His thought is still OF the war and
the pledges we gave to those who
sacrificed One easily sees that as
the leader Of the Nation who asked
for our sons and our resources upon
very distinct understanding and obli-
cation he is resolved that the faith
shall be kept. To this his thought
and life are dedicated. What he
promised, / shall. if elected, endeayor
with all my strength to give.
President Wilson
The interview was in every respect
most satisfactory and gratifying.
found what indeed already knew
and what Gov. Cox has let the whole
world know in his speeches, that he
and were absolutely at one with re-
gard to the great issue Of the League
of Nations, and that he is ready to be
the champion in every respect Of the
honor of the Nation and the. secure
peace of the world.

Mexico City, July 2S.-General Gar.
cia announced today that the final
terms OF Villas surrender had been
decided upon. The bandit chief will
retire to private life in place to be
designated by the government. He
will go first to TorTeon to disband his
forces, as he viii retain no military

Villa viii come to Mexico City, but
viii proceed from Torreon whereso.

The negotiations for the surrender
have been conducted to the entire sat

obeying all orders.

Old ..Lun on Had
Nothing onKenosha

Kenosha could give old London
cards and spades and get away with
it for the fog record. This morning
was the foggiest foggy morning in the
history Of Kenosha, according to the
old timers. The fog settled down like
q blanket and made it impossible for
pedestrians to see twenty yards ahead
Of them. Automobiles were operated
at speed of five or six miles an hour
and with great caution at that and the
street cars craWled along through the
overhanging mist with great caution
to avoid street corner accidents.
Boats in the harbor kept up a constant
footing for an hour this morning on
account Of the fear of accidents. The
cold wave which was scheduled to
reach Kenosha before the morning has
just been delayed, according to the
weather man, and zero weather is on
the way and should reach Kenosha
some time this evening. The weather
man says that the coal winter weather
will continue over Christmas.

Skeleton Found Tuesday Is
Identified as that of
Mrs. John Mooney.
BURIED IN BACKYARD
In Keeping with Request Wo-
man Had Been Buried on a
Corner Of Family Plot.

The mystery, surrounding the find
in the center of South Chicago street,
where city workmen were making re-
pairs in the roadway, was lifted this
morning when it became practically
certain that the remains were those of
Mrs. John Mooney, a Kenosha county
pioneer woman, who in keeping with
her death-bed wish, was buried in the
backyard of her own home more than
fifty years ago. The mystery was
cleared this morning by Charles Han
sis, Kenosha county pioneer, who
was resident Of Kenosha at the time
that the strange funeral was held and
his statements are confirmed by SINH
lar accounts made by E. D. Goodman
and other Kenoshans who had heard
Of the woman's death.
Her Death-bed Wish.
II am certain this skeleton is the
remains of Mrs. Mooney" explained
Mr. Hansis this morning. II was
young man at the time that she died
here and | remember that the incident
caused no little interest in the COM
munity. The Moneys, John Mooney
and his wife and son, John, came to
Kenosha county and bought an acre
patch, located around the spot where
4he skeleton was found on Tuesday"
They built little house and lived
there happily for several years." he
continued. Then sickness came and
Mrs. Mooney wasill for several weeks,
before she died. 1t was one of her
death-bed requests that she be buried
in corner Of the acre plot where
they had lived
Have Quiet Funeral.
"The husband and son acquiesced in
this last wish of the dead and several
days later the woman's body was buried
in the place where she had directed.
Only few of the intimate friends
of the family attended the funeral and
it is very possible that the grave was
not dug as deep as was the usual Gus
tom. Later the husband planted cot
tonwood tree near the place where his
wife was buried-the same cottonwood
tree which was cut down by workmen
on the street only few days ago.
It was explained that only few
months lates the Moneys moved to Ne
braska where the father and son later
died and were buried. The grave
of the mother was left unmarked
except by wooden slab which dis
appeared years ago.
Plot Far Out of City Then.
The acre plot which the MONEYS
had owned and lived on was far out
side Of the limits of Kenosha fifty
years ago and as the city had grown
and extended to this plot, the strange
funeral of several years ago had been
forgotten.
The remains were ordered buried in
the Green Ridge cemetery by Coroner
Truman T. Parker this morning.

KenOsha Man Picked Up
Tuesday Charged with
Disposing Of Auto.
SAYS CHARGE FALSE"
Deputy Sheriff Strong in Dec
laration as to Purchase from
Local Man at Low Price.

The second arrest in connection with
the Kenosha investigation of the al
legged ring Of automobile thieves who
worked in Chicago and disposed Of
their loot in Kenosha was made on
Tuesday night when William (Bebe)
Lencioni was arrested by Detective
Charles Rock and he is now held at
the city lookup awaiting the coming
of officers from Chicago. Lencioni is
booked on charge of receiving stolen
goods but the Kenosha police this
morning said that he was held for the
Chicago officials and at their request
and that they would seek the indict-
ment of Lencioni in Chicago, possibly
by federal grand jury under the new
law in regard to disposal Of stolen au-
tomobiles. Lencioni was strong in his
denial of any connection with the ring
Of thieves which has worked in Chi
cago. With the arrest Of Lencioni the
Kenosha police received the eighth au-
tomobile alleged to have been stolen
from Chicago.
4Charged Car Sold to Chamberlain.
It was charged by the Chicago Off
Gals that Lencioni had sold National
automobile to Deputy Sheriff Cham
berlain of Kenosha It was alleged
that although the automobile was val
ued at Sf,8a0 that it had been sold for
$3.50 by the Kenosha man. The auto
mobile was found in the possession of
the deputy and taken in charge by the
police pending further investigations
INTO tho matter. Chamberlain and
Lerc' ori met at the police Office and
T.oncioni in the presence of Chamber
ln'n declared that he had never seen
" CIR and that he had never trans
.ferrnd it to Chamberlain. The deputy
sheriff was Just as positive that he had
purchased the car from Lencioni at
the price stated. No effort was made
to secure the release Of Lencioni to-
day.
Car Stolen in Chicago.
The police allege that the car in
question was the property of Max
Wilfraith Of Chicago and it is declared
that it was stolen from the streets of
Chicago on the night Of September
18th of this year. Chamberlain said
that he came into possession of the
car about three weeks ago. 1t was
claimed by the police that this was the
second car to be traced to the Lenconi
place of business, but this also was
denied by Lencioni. Another one Of
the cars alleged to have been stolen
by the Chicago gang was found in a
vacant lot adjoining the place of bust
ness Of Lencioni. He declared that he
had no knowledge as to how the car
happened to be there and that he had
nothing to do with any dealings con-
nected with it.
It was said that complaint might
be made against Lencioni in the local
courts here pending action on the
part of the grand jury in Chicago.
Several other cars sold as second
hand" cars in Kenosha were being in
vestigated by the police department
today and it was said that these cars
might be taken later on.

MANY HEARTS SAD

The bodies Of Mrs. Julia Motiejaitis
and her two daughters, Anna and So
phia, the victims Of the fire at the

that he will provide home for his
little niece, Stella.
Brother Comes for Funeral.
John Rymsza, the brother who has
been at state school at Waukesha,
came home on Tuesday night and he
was granted furlough from the
school to come to the sad breaking
up of the little home in Kenosha. He
was to return to the school next Mon
day, after the Christmas holidays.
At the funeral many people paid
tribute to the little woman who was
burned to death and declared that she
had fought brave battle against
great odds in an effort to keep the
little family together. Little Stella,
the remaining daughter, is assured a
good home and proper care. The
brother of the dead woman, while
single, declared that it would be his
care to see that the little girl had a
chance to grow up right and have the
right kind of an education.
