EMERGENCY FUND
NOT AVAILABLE
Governor Blaine Tells Heads of State
Departments to Pare Their
/ Expenditures.

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.l
Madison, Wis. - Governor Blaine has
sent a formal letter to the heads of
state departments and of state institu-
tions advising them that they must. not
rely on the emergency board to take
them over if they have deficits in their
departments. The governor indicates
Mn his letter that he is opposed to the
emergency board method of giving
funds to state departments. The let
ter which has been sent out under date
of August 2 by his private secretary
follows:
"The governor directs me to advise
you that there will be no meeting of
the emergency board to consider appli-
cations for sectional appropriations
under section 20, "a, by reason Of any
emergency that might be alleged to
arise through any act or fault of any
public official
"In fact, there will be no meeting
of the emergency board to make any
appropriations under that section, un-
less an emergency in fact arises over
which public official has no control.

Congress Slate Makers
Are Busy With Taxes
Congressional Committee Starts Work
of Rebuilding the Federal
Tax Laws Monday.
(By Associated Press Leased wire)

Washington-The real work Of re-
vising the 1918 revenue law was begun
Monday by Republicans of the ways
ton that they would have the new bill
ready for the House of Representatives
by the end of next week.
The big problem was said to be dis
cussion of the cuts to be made in
present taxes. There are almost as
many views, at least on some parts of
the subjects as there are members of
the committee and it was believed
that the harmonizing of these would
require some little time.
One difference revolves around trans
portation tax. Some committee men
favor immediate repeal of all of this
levy while others believe it would be
the part of wisdom to follow the treas
ury suggestion that one-half be cut off
now and the remainder next year.
Treasury suggestions for new taxes,
except possibly an increased levy on
cigarettes and tobacco products appear
ed to have few supporters. 1t has been
explained, however, that to revise or
repeal some Of the taxes regarded as
particularly Objectionable or burden
some it might be necessary to impose
some new or additional levies.
These questions together with that
Of whether the excess profits tax is to
be repealed as Of last January l or
next January i, remain to be worked
out. Irrespective of the effective date
Of the excess profits repeal and the
substitution of an additional five per
cent tax on corporation income, treas
ury exerts have estimated that the cor
porations will pay approximately $780,
100000 less during the next fiscal year
under this revision than they would
under the present law.
Allowing for the expected shrinkage
in corporation returns as result OF
business depression, treasury officers
have figured that the corporations
would pay $9OO,OO0,OOO in the fsca

IN MEMORY OF HEROES

IN MEMORY OF HEROES
Seventeen states have about matured their
plans for memorial buildings to perpetuate the
memory of the American soldiers who died IN
the World War.
Unlike memorials erected after previous
wars those now contemplated will serve some
useful purpose They will combine beauty and
reverence with usefulness.
This same trend is evident in memorials that
have been proposed in England and France.
The strictly monument type of memorial ap-
pears to have nearly run its course It's place
is taken by memorial libraries, hospitals, audi
forums, stadiums and amphitheaters.
Two years from now, the University of ILL
nois expects to open $2,000,000 athletic sta
dunn and recreational field 1t will seat $4,000
- the largest athletic plan of it's kind in the
country.
While this stadium is being financed by the
universty's students and alumni, without state
aid, it will be memorial to every Illinois SOL
der that died in the war.
The University Of Kansas is erecting SINH
lar memorial stadium. It's first section is ex-
pected to be completed in time for the Kansas
Missouri football game in November.
The University of Nebraska, with state and
public aid is erecting a memorial gymnasium.
Connecticut, for her state war memorial is
considering placing mestones on her highways,
each stone engraved in honor Of an individual
Connecticut man who made the supreme sacri-
flee
Pennsylvania plans giant memorial bridge
connecting the two parts of the city of Harris
burg
In6f&napolis, which already has one of the
worlds SiVo greatest war monuments, will be
the site Of a 100000 state memorial. Prob
ably Coliseum, with memQial halls, auditor
iums trophy scpms and American Legion
headquarters.
Massachusetts Mn brlild similar structure
in Boston, in additAM t. 1nCaumelfts on the
battlefields of France and arrangements for
permanently taking care of graves there.
Colorado has appropriated large sums for
erection of memorial armories.
Virginia will build a 100000 memorial IL
brary. Utah contemplates the same.
Some cities have planted shade tree for
each of their soldier dead. This idea is spread
ing. One plan, now gathering much support,
proposes lining the Lincoln Highway from New
York harbor to the Golden Gate and the Dixie
Highway from Chicago to Florida, with memoir
ia trees.
When Attila the Hun died, he was buried in
an unknown river in triple tomb with alter
nate walls of gold, silver and iron. Slaves who
buried him were executed to keep the grave
secret.
Romans, concentrating their war dead
gave the world memorial arches.
That the memorials we are building in honor
of our war heroes are tending toward useful
structures is evidence of an increasing spirit
uality.
The boys who died in France need no marble
or bronze.
Pheir real memorial will be in the Soul of
America.

NEW SIMS LETTER
MADE PUBLIC TODAY
Admiral in Letter to Irish Friends Says
He is Supported in

Belfast-A letter from Rear-Admiral
William S. Sims, acknowledging re-
ceipt of congratulation from the Bel
fact Comrades of the Great War on his
recent speech before the English
Speaking Union in London in which
he criticised activities of Sinn-Fein
sympathizers in the United States was
made public here today
The letter dated July II reads as fol-
lows:
~ can assure you it is matter of
great qualification to me to find that
the loyal men of Ulster hold the same
opinions as | do as to the English
speaking peoples. 1t may interest you
to know that practically all of the rep
utable newspapers in the United States
are now in thorough approval of our
condemnation of the activities of
Sinn-Fein sympathizers in the United
States.
"This has been brought about by a
remarkable expression of opinion by
the American people in the form of
showers Of letters and kilograms to all
concerned. 1t would almost seem as
though the incident were about to be
transformed into an issue. Ate all
events, it will apparently have consid-
cradle effect in the future. 1t is my
hope that it will exercise a very con
siderable influence upon the relations
between our two countries"

RAID CLUBROOM
GET EVIDENCE
SchoIey and Moore POunce
Down on Danish Broth
erh00d Clubhouse.
SLOT MACHINE - BEER

Officials of the Kenosha Lodge of
Danish Brotherhood were today facing
the probability of being arrested on
warrants charging violation of the pro-
hibition and gambling laws as a result
Of raid carried on Monday afternoon
by Constable John Scholey and Deputy
Ralph Moore on the clubhouse operated
by the order at Lily Lake. The raiders
dropped in on the clubhouse just be-
fore one o'clock Monday afternoon;
thew found no one at home with the
exception of woman, who explained
that the man who operated the club
rooms was in Kenosha.
The raiders showed their credentials
and continued their raid. In the ice
box they. found large number of bot
ties, unlabelled and bearing liquid
that looked very much as if it were the
old time beer. Three samples of this
were confscated.
Other Interesting Discoveries.
This was not all of the evidence of
violation of the prohibition law. Six
bottles bearing physicians prescrip-
tions but emptied Of their contents
were found in various parts of the
room, where drinks were served and
it is believed by officials that patrons
of the room had used it to drink up
their hip-lquor. These bottles were
also confscated.
In one corner of the room, slot
machine, very similar to the ones which
Constable Scholey seized in one of his
first raids more than year ago, next
attracted the attention of the raiders.
"Just used to sell chewing gum" the
woman in charge offered as an explain
alton "No money paid at all"
"WeIl see about that" said Deputy
Moore. He drew a nickel from his
pocket and played the machine. He
was lucky and from the slot came out
eight nickels.
Funniest chewing gum I ever saw"
said Scholey. load that machine up
in the wagon.%
The evidence was placed before the
district attorney this morning but no
statement was given out as to war
rants Constable Scholey declared that
it was probable that any warrants arts
ing out of the case would have to be
made out against the officials Of the
Danish Brotherhood Lodge, which or
der built the clubhouse recently and
is in charge of it.
The present officials of the order are;
Thorvald Jensen, president; Emil Lar
sen, vice president; Christ Sorensen,
| secretary and Ole Rasmussen, treasur-
err Members of the order declared to-
/ day that if anything irregular was be
! ing carried on at the clubhouse, it was
done without the sanction of the lodf
/ and without it's knowledge.

morrow in the trial of Roscoe c.

manslaughter growing out of the
death of Miss Virginia Rape. mo-

others under defense subpoena, were
expected to be present from Los An
geles prepared to testify, but the de-
fense has not actually indicated
whether it will call Miss Lake.
The defense is endeavoring to
prove the injuries which caused Miss
Rappe's death did not result from the
attack Arbuckle is alleged to have
made on her in his rooms in the Hotel
st. Francis. but may have been pure
~ internal or spontaneous in char
acter. One defense expert testified
on Wednesday that, under certain
conditions, the injuries could be
caused by hysteria, intoxication or
shock.
No decision has been reached as to
whether Arbuckle shall take the
stand. Gavin McNab chief defense
counsel, announced today. The de-

CURZON WARNS
FRANCE: AGAINST
ISOLATED POLICY
English Foreign Minister Says
Frances Safety Lies
Not in Her Own
Strength
BY Associated Press

London, November 24-One of the
most outspoken warnings ever ad-
dressed by the foreign minister OF
one nation to another friendly nation
was delivered publicly today at a
luncheon by Marquis Curzon of Ked-
lesion to France The British foreign
minister declared that If France pur-
sued an isolated and individual policy
she would not in the long run injure
Germany and would fall to protect
herself.
1t was warning couched, If any
thing in palmer terms than a similar
speech delivered by Premier George
last May at the time when France
was proceeding to occupation of Ger
many's Ruhr towns, which created
sucn a tremendous sensation.
Lord Curzon's address was directly
primarily to the Washington confer
ence on the Limitation of armaments
and far eastern questions. but it was
clearly an intimation to France on
the effect of that country's attitude
hau VII uiSdi HidiiicHt ~ 50 dppiitu
with equal force to the French policy
in the near east.
Peace will never be achieved =
said Lord Curzon. III any one power
tries to steal a march on another
and conclude an arrangement on it's
own account"
The foreign minister bluntly re-
minded France that her safety lay
not in her own strength, but Inc the
confidence OF the world. and he eau
toned France that she could not sue
coed by a revengeful policy toward
Germany or be permitted by isolated
action to Illustrate the work OF the
ma tons at Washington.
The speech. which occupied only
half an hour in delivery but was
filled with striking matter, was re-
markable for the expressed deter
i'mination to bring Germany into the
comfy of nations and for its enun-
citation of Great Britain's duty in the
new world which succeeded the war.
Abiding to the new struggling ma
tons which have arisen from the
ashes of Germany. Austria and Tur-
/ key, Lord Curzon said:
I'VE, as one of the great powers,
arc largely responsible for the crea-
ton Of these new nations. Therefore,
| it devolves upon us to do our best
| to curb their rivalry. help their pro
gress and make them instruments not
! Of renewed disturbance and warfare,
! but OF future peace"

to British View

Washington, November 24.-Look-
ing forward to a unanimous agree
ment among the eight powers re-

among members of the delegation as
to how the terms of the arrange
ment may be realized.
The final convention. or under
standing. as the case may be, is ex-
in detail respecting tariff questions.
the pooling of operation of railway
concessions and other subjects. For
this reason considerable informal in
quiry has been made as to what sort
of supervision could be set up to
carry out the agreements and har-
monte varying interpretations.
In this connection the question IS
frequently asked: is all the after

notes and kilograms among the nine
participating governments, including
China, or is new international or
gan to be created 10 observe. inter
pref and execute the agreement sub

listers of the various governments i'm
