HAVE NO FUNDS
FOR KERENSKY
Secretary of the Treasury Declares
That There is No Reason for
An Injunction.

Washington-Denial that any portion
OF the money advanced to the Keren-
sky government of Russia is still un-
der the control of Secretary Houston,
was made by Solicitor General William
L. Frierson in brief filed today with
the district supreme court in response
to the suit brought by William Ran
dolph Hearst of New York, as a tax
payer, to enjoin the secretary of the
treasury from further financial tran
sactions with foreign governments.
The brief denied the secretary had any
intention of permitting funds under
his control to be paid to the Kerensky
or any other Russian government. Mr..
Frierson declared there was no occa-
sion for an injunction as the defendant
has no intention of establishing further
credits to any foreign government "as
must have been known to the plaintiff
when filed his BILL With regard to
the payment of the unexpended ball
ances now existing in favor of Czecho-
Slovakia, France, Greece, Italy and
Liberia the solicitor general contend
ed 'the faith of the government was
pledgedp because these credits were es-
tablished under authority of Congress.
Describing the transactions between
this government and the Kerensky
government the solicitor general de-
clared the credits were established and
advances made "just as they were made
to any other foreign government, and
when made were entirely free from
the control of the secretary of the
treasury. Tt is not true, Mr.. Frier-
son said, that there is any existing
credit in favor of the Kerensky or
other Russian government, nor that
any funds belonging to the United
States have been placed in the National
City bank, or any other bank subject
to the check of the Kerensky or other
Russian government with the approval
of the secretary.

Harold Sanford of Milwaukee Plays
and Piano Numbers at Gathering.
Several Kenoshans were given an I'M
expected treat Saturday afternoon
when Harold Sanford of Milwaukee
gave an informal recital at the home
of Mrs. C. F. Miller, 1873 Exchange

Saturday to join his mother, Mrs. A.
M. Sanford. district official in the

pianist. He is organist at one of the
largest Methodist churches in Milwau-
kee and has appeared frequently in
recitals. 1t is probable that he will

BELDEN SILENT
ON GRAND JURY
Announcement That
He Has Nothing to Say
Closes Interview.
EVIDENCE HALL READY

81 have no announcement to make
in regard to the grand jury CALL" said
Judge Belden in the circuit court this
morning. "The consideration of the
matter has not been forgotten and
when We have anything of a definite
nature to announce, the statement will
be given out officially" concluded the
judge as he turned away to hear ma
turalization cases.
1t had been expected that there
would be some announcement today,
but the judge let it be understood that
he was not as yet fully satisfied with
the facts which had been presented
to him. 1t was admitted today that
there was a possibility that there
would be 3 lot of prosecutions started
in Kenosha county within a short time
with view of taking care of lot of
surface violations of the law which
have been reported and it is said that
evidence on which to base these prose

officials.

tions had been held up pending the
action of Judge Belden in calling q
grand jury, but it was said that the
facts in the hands of the officials war
ranted the issuance of warrants for
arrests regardless of grand jury ac-
ton. It is thought possible that the
consideration of these cases may bring
to light facts in regard to conditions
in the county. No time had been set
today for the issuance of these war
rants but it was admitted that there
might be a good many of them. It
was said that for the most part the
evidence covered sales of liquor in Ke-
nosha city and county and it was said
that the facts had been collected by
Investigators of local officials. Judge
Belden did not indicate that he had
any objections TO the immediate &C
ton on these matters.

The February meeting of the Cath
Ollie Woman's Club, held at the Knights

tailed plan was not completed.
Rev. James Conway presented a pc
tition requesting that woman scounty
probation officer be appointed, which
received the signatures of the club
members.
Business which was especially inter
esting to the club members just as it
is demanding the special attention of
women throughout the United States,
was the presentation of causes for and
against the Sheppard Towner bill and
the Smith-Towner bill, with the result
that the club wrote to congressional
representatives in Washington urging
favorable action upon the former and
unfavorable action upon the second
measure.
The action Of the club was based
upon facts submitted by Investigators.

Write to Washington.
The decision for non-support of the
Smith-Towner bill, which provides for
a federal department. of education. was
based upon reports from national
Catholic institutions, submitted by
Mrs. Walter White, which declared
that the bill would be detrimental to
the parochial school systems. The let
ter written to Senator'S LaFollette and
Lenroot and Congressman Randall, fol-
lows: "The Catholic Woman's Club of
Kenosha, Wis, at its regular meeting
on February 10, 1921, registered its
unanimous protest against the passage
of the Smith Towner bill providing for
a federal department of education as
a menace to the parochial school sys-
tenn. They urgently request you to
use your influence in congress to legis-
late against the passage of said Smith
Towner bill. Thanking you for imme-
date cognizance of the clubs attitude
in, this matter and requesting your un-
favorable action in the matter of its
passage"
The. endorsement of the Sheppard
Towner bill was sent only to Congress
man Randall as the bill has passed the
senate. The letter read:, "The Catho-
lie Woman's Club of Kenosha, Wis, at
its regular meeting on Febroary 10.
1921, endorsed the passage of the
SheppardTowner bill, senate bill No.
1859, which offers state and federal aid
in prenatal care to needy mothers and
subsequent immediate care to their
infants. The club, while Directing to
the federal portion of the bill, believes
that it ought to be supported and re-
quest you to take favorable action
upon its passage in the house. Hoping
this will be given your immediate at
tention."

MORON ANNOYS
LITTLE GIRLS
Moron on Bicycle Sought
for Indecent Actions
Toward Girls.
is CHASED BY FATHER

Search was being carried on today
for young, man, evidently a moron,
who on Saturday afternoon, about FIVE
o'clock made insulting and indecent
approaches to number of little girls
at the corner of Park street and Ere
mont avenue and who escaped on. his
bicycle from the father of one of the
girls who followed him for several
blocks. A good description of the man
was obtained and it is thought posi-
BILE that he may still be apprehended.
The residents Of that vicinity are up
in arms against the moron and have
issued warning that they will prosecute
the man to the limit in the event that
he is captured.
Came Up on Bicycle.
Three or four little girls were play
ing in a yard when the young man,
wearing long gray overcoat and ap-
pearing to be about thirty years old,
rode up to the curbing on a bicycle.
He jumped off of the bicycle and ran
over to the little girls, none Of them
Ger ten years of age, and began to
make indecent remarks to them. One
Of the girls, realizing the danger, ran
into her home and told her father of
the attack.
The father ran but of his home and
found the man still talking to the re-
mainder of the girls. Before he could
reach the intruder, the latter jumped
on his bicycle and rode swiftly north
on Fremont avenue. The father ran
after him but the moron escaped by
turning down side street somewhere
off Market street
Have Good Description.
The father Of the girl is certain
that he would know the man if he ever
saw him again He declared that the
moron was light Completed, of medi-
UNI height, and appeared to be for
eigner. He spoke only broken English
to the children He wore gray over
coat and soft hat.
Because of the nature of the case,
the names of the little girls who were
approached by the man have not been
made public. The police are on the
watch for the "moron cyclist" and it is
believed that he may be apprehended
before very long. The attack on Park
street is only one of several attempts
which the man is said to have made
to approach small girls.

LLOYD GEORGE ASKS sINN FEIN
TO MEET WITH MEN
OF ULSTER.
ASKS FOR CONFERENCE
BRITISH PREMIER APPEALS TO
De VALERA TO END STRIFE
IN IRELAND.
twes,sn Newspaper Unioo News s.,ics.I

London, June 27.-Premier Lloyd
George has sent letter to both
Eamonn de Valera, the Irish Republi-
can leader, and Sir James Craig, the
Ulster premier, declaring the British
government to be deeply anxious that
King Georges appeal for reconciliation
In Ireland shall not have been made in
vain. The letter appeals for con.
ference between representatives of the
government and southern and northern
Ireland.
The letter Is cOuched in identical
terms to both Mr.. de Valera and Sir
James, except for necessary verbal
changes.
"The British government" it says,
''are deeply anxious that, as far rs they
can assure it, the kings appeal for rec
Onciliation shall not have been made in
vain. Rather than allow another OPP
portunity for a settlement in Ireland
to be cast aside they feel it incumbent
on them to make final appeal in the
spirit of the kings words for Il con
ference between themselves and repre-
sentatives of southern and northern
Ireland"
81 write, therefore, to convey the
following invitation to you as the
chosen leader of the great majority
in southern Ireland, and to Sir James
Craig, premier of northern Ireland:
"First, that you should attend con-
ference here in company with Sir
James Craig, to explore n settlement; j;
second, that you should bring with you
any colleagues whom you may select.
The government will, of course, give
safe conduct to all who may be chosen.
"We make this invitation with tho
fervent desire to end the runous con
flict which has divided Ireland and
embittered the relations of the peoples
of these two islands, who ought to live
in neighborly harmony, and whose CO.
operation would mean so much, not
only to the empire, but to humanity
We wish that no endeavor should be
lacking on our part 10 realize the
kings prayer, and we ask you to meet
us as we will meet you, in the spirit
of Cancellation for which his majesty
appealed
Pleasurable surprise is expressed by
the London newspapers at Premier
Lloyd Georges invitation. 1t is pointed
out that this peace move is the most
liberal made thus far, in view of the
fact that no conditions are imposed
for the meeting.
