Postpone Conference
in Honor of Dead

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.)
Washington Officials in charge
of arrangements for the armament
conference and those formulating the
program for the American unknown
dead exercises on armistice day are
somewhat perplexed as to how the
two events can be arranged without
having the program conflict.
The military escort for the unknown
dead is scheduled to leave the capitol
with President Harding and cabinet
members at its head at $3.50 o'clock
on the morning of November II. The
exercises in the ampitheatre at Arl-
ington as planned, would continue we'll
into the afternoon and would be fol-
lowed by luncheon for the distinguish
ed visitors.
While the opening session of the con-
ference would, in the opinion Of some
officials, be more appropriately held
in the morning and adjournment TAX
en- out of respect to the American un-
known dead and in recognition of
Armistice Day, it would seem impos-
sible to meet before a. m. in order
to avoid conflict with the other pro-
gram, it was said. Consequently it
was thought probable that the initial
meeting of the conference might be
postponed until late in the afternoon

LEGION OF HONOR
MEDAL TO UNKNOWN
Body of unknown" Soldier to be Hon
ored by America Leaves France
on War Ship.


Havre = The simple lag-draped
casket containing the symbol of Amer
ica's unsung fighters set sail westward
at $3.50 o'clock this afternoon. Repos-
ing in place of honor allotted in the
stern of the United States cruiser
Olympia, the unknown warrior was
taken on his homeward voyage to find
a resting place in the national Gene
terry at Arlington.
Hundreds of punches of flowers,
tokens of esteem from French peas
antry, were banked on all sides of the
casket, around which were held simple
but impressive ceremonies just before
the cruiser put out to sea.
A feature of these ceremonies was
the placing of medal of the Legion
of Honor on the casket.
Major General Henry T. Allen, COM
mander of the American forces in Ger
many, formally reliquished the casket
into possession of the navy by a brief
addressf Three thousand school chill
dren escorted the body to the pier and
scattered flowers before the gun car
riage which bore it. A large military
guard rendered honors and an Ameri-
can band played funeral march as

quietly out to sea. Airplanes circIed
overhead and French warships mark

Movement Started to Sc
cure Building for Army
In KenOsha.
HAVE NEST EGG NOW
Board Votes to Use $4,000 Sc
cured Previously to Find Way
to Secure Budget for Year.

A definite movement towards the Sc
curing of building or home for the
Kenosha Salvation Army was launched
this morning when announcement was
made by the Kenosha County Saliva
ton Army Board that committee
had been named to investigate various
proposed sites for such a building.
This committee consists of G. H. Pfen
mig, chairman, NJ. j. Isermann and G.
C. Brown, as named on Monday after
noon at the regular meeting of the
board.
1t is not the plan of the board to
proceed Immediately in the erection
Of new building but to use the $780,,
900, now held in local bank as re-
suit of the campaign several years
ago, to secure a site which when the
time for building is propitious will be
the location Of magnificent building
and home for the Salvation Army.
1t is hoped that this money will pro-
vide funds for the first payment on
such a site and if possible that build
ing of some kind will be secured for
the temporary uses of the local corps.
Plan Real Building.
The work of the Salvation Army in
Kenosha has long been increasing in
Importance and the national officers
of the organization have several times
indicated that they would back a
movement to erect suitable quarters
here. The plans ultimately provide
for a two or three story building
with store rooms in the lower floor
and with chapel and possibly club
rooms in the other parts of the build
ing. The recent erection of the magni-
ficent Salvation Army Hotel in Wau-
kegan is an example of the ventures
which the Salvation Army are now
planning and this new evidence that
the organization is interested in Ke-
nosha was welcomed by local business
men.
Such building would give the corps
an opportunity to extend their work in
Kenosha to meet the needs of the
growing city.
Plan to Raise Budget.
The Advisory Board also made plans
to raise the budget of $500 a month
which will be needed to carry on the
work of the Salvation Army during the
coming year. 1t is not planned to
stage a campaign such as has been
customary in other years because of
the present industrial situation. Com
mittees were named, however, to in
terview local manufacturers and bust
ness and professional men with an
idea that the funds can be raised
through these sources. The work of
the army has been augmented by the
unemployment situation and it is alb
solutely imperative that it shall not
be hindered by serious shortage in
funds.
Committees. named by the board for
raising the budget for the Army are
as follows, For industrial organiza-
tons: w. H. Afford, chairman; w.
D. Martin, A. II. Lance, James C.
Ferris, R. S. Cooper and Conrad Shear
err; for business and professional
men: George w. Taylor, chairman,
H. E. Barden, Charles H. Pfennig, DR..

julius Laziwik Starts Bat
tie Which Discloses a
Busy Still.
BLACKS HUBBY'S EYES
Laziwik Gives Tony Dubinsky
Two Injured Optics and Then
Raises Disturbance.

Trying to rule the roost got Julius
Laziwik into "peck of trouble" on
Saturday afternoon and dragged Tony,
Dibulski, his landlord, along with him
to the city lookup when the police in
answering disturbance call because
of Laziwik's performances found a
still stewing away in the home at 666
West street and both men are now I'M
der arrest. The episode furnished the
most exciting moment in a series of
raids staged by the police over the
weekend.
Laziwik is the boarder 1T the Di-
bulski home. 1t appears that he has
made himself generally obnoxious to
the family and despite frequent re-
quests that he seek new rooming
place he has continued to stay around
the home.
Blacks Husbands Eyes
The crisis started coming on Fri
day evening. Laziwik, who is "a lit
tie bit of Teller" according to the
police got into some sort of a quarrel
at the home and when it was over
Dubinsky emerged with two blackened
optics while Laziwik was practically
unframed Apparently this was just
the opening round.
On Saturday afternoon the hostili-
ties broke out anew. They increased
in ferocity until the neighbors aroused
by the screams of a woman which
emanated from the house called the
police. Policemen Kautenberg, Long
and McGivern hurried in the patrol
wagon to- the scene of the conflict.
Find Busy Still Too
The reports of the trouble had not
been exaggerated. When the police
reached the home they found that
Laziwik, not content with lambasting
the husband, had also attacked the
wife and according to her reports had
torn much of her clothing off. The
police could not verify the evidence
of how the woman's clothing had been
removed but when they entered the
home they found her sans most of
her raiment and screaming for help.
Laziwik was Immediately arrested
and booked on charge of tearing the
clothing off of the woman. The po-
lice happened to spy gallon of moon
shine on the table of the home and
this discovery kept them on the scene
of the battle
They made complete search Of the
home and found in the cellar large
still stewing away at high speed They
ripped it out and then proceeded to
arrest Dibulski on charge of having
a still in his possession. After TAX
ing their prisoners to the lookup they
returned to the home and confscated
all liquor. In addition they found
three barrels of mash in the basement
of the home and this was kerosened.
