Green Bay.

Word was received in Kenosha on
Sunday of the death of Mrs. Joseph
Bedore, former resident at 726 Pearl
street, having moved to Green Bay only
a few weeks ago. On last Thursday she
was stricken with paralysis at her home
in Green Bay and she never recovered
from the attack, dying on Friday. She
has many friends in Kenosha to whom
her death comes as a real sorrow.

Kenosha as the woman who had the
honor of leading the peace parade by
reason of the fact that she was the
mother of five sons, all Of whom were
in the service. She is survived by her

Palestine Population
Muchly' Decreased
(By Associated Press)

London-There are now barely 700,-
600 people in all Palestine, a popula-
ton much less than that of Galilee
alone in the time of Christ, says Sir
Herbert Samuel, the British High Com
missioner there, in report just made
jublic.
Ten thousand immigrants arrived in
Palestine in the seven months between
September 1920, and May, 1921, he re-
ports.
Sir Samuel attributes the scarcity Of
the population to lack Of development.
The financial condition Of Eastern
and Central Europe, and internal diff
culties within the Zionist organization
of the United States, says the report
have prevented the Zionist movement
from providing, as yet, any large sums
for enterprises of development or col
onization. AS a consequence, while
there had been much pressure to admit
Jewish immigrants, there had been lit
tie expansion in the opportunities for
employment, he declared.
The water supply for Jerusalem hav-
ing been found to be insufficient, the
government is bringing into use some
ancient reservoirs of vast capacity
named the Pools of Solomon, but of I'M
known date, possibly Herodian, stu
ated eight miles away.
The garrison of the country has been
reduced to 5000 combatant troops
imposing a charge of a2,500,O0O on the
British exchequer, or at the rate of
$500 for every fighting man.

Stranger Attempts to Pass
Worthless Check at
Lumber Company.
ON A RACINE BANK
Clerk Gets Suspicious and Tells
Stranger to Come Back
Later for Shingles.

Attempting to pass worthless check
for $3.50, a stranger was almost
nabbed by George Anderson and Dan
o. Head Of the Kenosha Lumber com
pany, late Friday afternoon. Accord
ing to the story as told by George An
derson, who, was making the sale of
a negligible quantity of shingles which
the stranger said he wanted to repair
the roof Of his home on Milwaukee ave-
nue., the stranger acted very queerly
throughout the entire procedure.
Besides the nervousness of the
stranger, Anderson became suspicious
when he looked up the number of the
house at which the stranger wanted
the shingles delivered and found that
there was no such number in the city
directory. Covering up his suspicious,
Anderson retired to another room and
gave all the available information to
Dan O. Head, who Immediately got in
touch with the First National Bank Of
Racine, upon which the check had been
issued. Anderson in the meantime
stalled along with the stranger but
finally advised the stranger to come
back in a short time and the check
would be cashed.
Takes Check and Goes.
The stranger appeared relieved and
took the check and left the Office of
the lumber company. He did not show
up the remainder of the afternoon and
it was then that word was received
from Racine that the check was worth
less. The check was made out to the
order of "John Kline" and was coun-
tersigned by "Thomas Karney," The
cashier of the Racine bank stated that
Thomas Karney was unknown to the
bank and had not at any time kept an
account at that bank,
Police On Job.
The police this morning were inves-
tigating the case and have very good
description Of the stranger to go by.
The stranger was Of medium build,
wore a brown suit and soft brown
felt hat. Other merchants Of the city
are warned about cashing any checks
for any individual answering to the
description Of the stranger for whom
the police are making search.

Engineer Suggest Foot
Elevation Over Tracks
at Marion Avenue.
WOULD BUILD AT ONCE
If Plan Is Acceptable, Company
! Could Complete Work Be-
fore Fall Is Over.

The Northwestern Railway Company
has offered a half loaf to the people
on the west side Of the city who have
been demanding the opening of cross
ing over the network of tracks which
divides the Mckinley school district
and at the close of a long conference
with the mayor, city engineer and
transportation committee of the coun-
ell on Friday afternoon Engineer Pole
the elevation expert of the Northwest
ern line announced that he would rec
ommend to the company the erection
of an elevated foot bridge over the
tracks at Marion avenue. While this
was not satisfactory to the COMMITTEES
the statements made by the engineer
gave them the idea that this would be
all that could be expected from the
company under the present conditions
of railway finances and it is expected
that the council will be asked to act
fayorably on the installation of such a
crossing of the tracks.
Will Do Work This Fall.
Engineer Pole was not in a position
to make definite promises but he said
that he believed that the company
would be able to install this "foot ele-
walton" over the tracks this fall. He
estimated that the cost of the work
would be in the neighborhood of ten
thousand dollars and he said that he
thought that the company would be
able to secure money for the work.
Pole told the officials that the only
other possibility he could see for meet
ing the situation was elevation of the
tracks. He insisted that this elevation
was a part of the work proposed for
Kenosha but he could not say when ii
would be done. He said it was his
understanding that the elevation of a
portion of the tracks of the Western
division would follow Immediately the
elevation of the mail line tracks
through Kenosha but he did not hazard
a guess as to when this work would be
carried out. It was admitted that the
engineers of the Northwestern were
ready to go ahead with the elevation
work in the spring of this year but the
financial problem proved too hard a
one Tor the company TO solve and the
work was laid over again.
Vehicle Crossing Would Cost 100000.
The members of the transportation
committee were strongly in favor of
the installation of vehicle as we'll as
foot elevation over the track but the
railway engineer said that he believed
that this would be out of the question
on account of the prohibitive cost. II
was asserted that to put in such an
elevation over the tracks would cost
at least 100000. Pole gave it as his
opinion that such an expenditure. in
the face of the proposed elevation
would never be countenanced BY the di-
recting heads of the company or sane
toned by an order of the railroad COM
mission.
Much talk has been of the installa-
tion of the crossing at Balm avenue but
after a close examination of the streets
the engineer declared that the cross
ing at Marion avenue would offer less
engineering problems. This street is
just one block east of Norman avenue
on which the Mckinley school is To-
Gated.
} The engineer promised the city of.

Text of Presidents Initiation
TO Nations on Disarmament

President Harding's formal in
vitation to the great powers for
conference here, beginning Novem-
Der II, on disarmament and far
eastern problems were made pub
lie yesterday afternoon by Secre-
tary Hughes.
The text of the invitation is as
follows. the only difference being
in the name of the government:
THE President is deeply graft
fled at the cordial response to his
suggestion that there should be a
conference on the subject Of limita-
tion of armament, in connection
with which Pacific and far east
ern questions should also be dis
cussed.
Productive labor is staggering
under an economic burden too
heavy to be borne unless the pres
ent vast public expenditures are
greatly reduced. 1t is idle to look
for stability. or the assurance OF
social justice. or the security OF
peace, wfrile wasteful and unpro-
ductive outlays deprive effort OF
its just reward and defeat the rea-
The enormous disbursements in
the rivalries of armaments mani
festly constitute the greater part
of the encumbrance upon enter
prise and national prosperity; and
avoidable or extravagant expense
of this nature is not only without
economic justification, but is a
constant menace to the peace of
the world rather than an assurance
;tc
would seem to be no ground to
expect the halting of these in
creasing outlays unless the pow
ers most largely concerned find a
satisfactory basis for an agree
ment to effect their Limitation.
The time Is believed to be OPP
perfume for these powers to ap-
proach this subject directly and
in conference: and while. in the
ment, the question of naval arma-
ment may naturally have first
place, it has been thought best not
to exclude questions pertaining to
other armament to the end that all
practica BILE measures of relief may
have appropriate consideration. 1t
may also be found advisable to
formulate proposals by which in
the interest of humanity the use
Oh ne" agencies u "dIIdie HdS
be suitably controlled.
1T is. however. quite clear that
there can be no final assurance
of the peace of the world in the
absence of the desire for peace.
and the prospect of reduced arma-
ments is not a hopeful one un-
less this desire finds expression in
a practical effort to remove causes
of misunderstanding and to seek
ground for agreement as to princi-
Piles and their application. 1t is
the earnest wish of this govern
ment that through an interchange
of views with the facilities afford
ed by a conference. it may be pos
sible-to find a solution of Pacific
and far eastern problems. of un-
questioned Importance at this
time-that is, such common un-
derstandings with respect to mat
ters which have been and are OF
international concern as may
serve to promote enduring friend
ship among our peoples.
1T is not the purpose OF this
government to attempt to define
the scope of the discussion in rela-
tion to the Pacific and far east,
but rather to leave this to be the
subject of suggestions to be ex-
changed before the meeting or

PLANNING POLICE GAME.
Gessford Tells Men Selling Tickets
to Describe ORGANIZATION.

Plans for the annual base ball game
between teams of the police depart
ment and the Home Defense League
Labor day have been completed. The
proceeds of the event will be applied
to the police relief fund. Maj. Cess
ford. superintendent of police, has
issued a bulletin to the force telling
the policemen engaged in the sale of
tickets what they should be able to
tell of the association while dispos-
ing of tickets.
1t is stated in the bulletin that the
relief association is cooperative
organization with no paid officers. its
purpose being to give immediate
financial relief to widows and orphans
of policemen. The association is one
Of the oldest organizations of it's
kind in the United States. having been
organized more than fifty years ago.
such an organization is necessary
because men fail to accumulate much
money" Maj. Gessford pointed out.
"and without relief association it
would be necessary on the occasions
of many deaths of policemen for mem
bers of the department to go down
in their pockets and make contribu-
tions to save a patrolman's loved
ones from actual want and destitu-
tion'
