BANQUET SPEEDS

(By Associated Press Leased Wire)
Saltwater, MINI. - Upsetting prece-
dents in Minnesota and nearly refused
admittance to the state penitentiary
here, Clarence Hines, %, an automobile
mechanic of Candy, Mimi, convicted of
manslaughter, surrendered to Warden
Sullivan yesterday afternoon, travelling
unescorted from Candy to the city.
Hines conviction last September fol-
lowed the death of a woman run down
by his automobile. He was sentenced
to serve three years in the states
prison. Appeal for new trial was
denied. Last night, two hundred citi-
zens of Candy rendered Hines a ban
quet and gave him a petition signed
by residents of this vicinity, asking
the pardon board for clemency and a
pardon on the ground that they believe
a hardship is being inflicted in that the
woman's death resulted from an "un-
avoidable accident" When Hines ar
rived at the prison today, carrying
commitment papers, Warden Sullivan
was reluctant to admit him. He com
municated with Lyon county authori-
ties and was assured that Hines had
made the trip from Candy alone. The
prisoner was then admitted.

yAPS SEE DEMAND
FOR NEW CONFERENCE
Hughes Note on Island of zap Causes
Japanese to Consider Asking.
for Allied Action.
(By Associated Press Leased Wire)


Tokio-Newspapers have given great
prominence to the note from Charles
e. Hughes, American secretary of
state to the Allies relative to the SUBJ
ject of mandates in general, and that
over the island of zap in particular.
There has been no official comment, but
in responsible unofficial circles the
opinion is held that the American note
virtually implies another peace confer
ence. Statements made by Vice Ad-
miral Kato, minister of marine, last
month, relative to the Japanese naval
policy, are regarded here as intended
to answer charges that Japan is in
curably militaristic and is insisting
upon naval expansion. These state
ments are also looked on as paving the
way for an international discussion of
naval policies. Representative Japa-
nese declared that if the naval race be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States continues, Japanese must be
obliged eventually to drop out because
of the financial considerations. If the
other powers refuse to curtail their
naval programs and decline to discuss
the matter, the government is liable to
lose the support of the nation which is
clamoring for internal reforms.

GREECE ALARMED
BY ARMY LOSSES
Continued Retirement of the Greek
Army Causes Deep Concern
in Athens.
(By Associated .press Leased wire

= (By Associated Press Leased Wire)
/ Athens-Reverses suffered by Greek
forces in Anatolia and the casualties
inflicted upon them by the Turkish
nationalist, have caused a great de-
preston here. Official statements are
meagre and are interpreted to mean
/ the government may be Withholding
the truth from the people.
There is a decided note of alarm
and pessisimism noticeable here among
all classes of Greeks.
News that the army is, retiring
i towards the positions originally held
near Brusa caused profound disappoint-
ment and sent the drachma tumbling,
quotations reaching IA to the dollar.
The first wounded soldiers arriving
here, would not speak, their lips hav-
ing been sealed by the government.
Several large buildings have been re-
Questioned as hospitals and a number
of the largest steamers have been com
wandered to bring more wounded men
from the port of Brusa. All available
motor trucks in Athens have been
seized and sent to Smyrna.
King Constantine is reported to
have abandoned his plan for trip to
the front. Mobilization is proceeding
slowly, it being reported only % out
of every 100 men have answered the
call to the colors. 1t is said that in
many parts of Greece there have been
flat refusals by reservists to report
for military duty.
In some localities in Greece and in
Crete, pictures Of King Constantine are
reported to have been burned.
The supply service of the army is
being severely criticisized and the in
telligence work is condemned as weak
and inefficient. There is also criticism
regarding the lack of coordination
among units in the field, but the Greek
soldiers have been highly praised for
their bravery.

MANAGER FORM
Voters League to Get Be
hind Big Educational
Campaign Here.
TO BRING SPEAKERS

Members of the Independent Voters
League at their meeting on Friday
evening decided that all the strength
that the league can muster in Kenosha

cure the adoption of the commissioner
manager form Of government for Ke-
nosha and an active educational cam
paign will be inaugurated by the
league to show the people of the city
the benefits of this new form of gov
eminent. Speakers of note will be
brought to the city and definite line
of campaign will be mapped out.
"We want the people to have a
chance to know what the commission
manager form has done in other cities
and then they will know whether or not
it is good for Kenosha. The main OBJ
lection of people to this proposed new
form of government is that the people
do not know anything about it or they
have ideas which have been warped IN
account of statements of politicians"
said leader of the league.
All Meetings to Be Open.
The members of the league have an
nounced that sessions will be held on
every Friday evening during the year
and these meetings will be open to all
the people Of the city, regardless of
their membership in the league. At
these meetings pertinent topics for
civic betterment will be taken up and
discussed and it is the plan of the
league to take an active part in every
movement for the advancement of the
city 1t is expected that a campaign
for new members will result in many
citizens of Kenosha being brought un-
der the league banner.
Members Of the committees of the
league expressed satisfaction at the
outcome of the election just held and
the vote is now being tabulated with
view of making report to show
just what was accomplished.
Recommendations Helped.
Members of the league declared that
they had evidence that the recon-
mendations made had been followed by
many voters and that lists of candi-
dates recommended by the league were
in evidence at every polling place in
the city. Better organization was
promised for future campaigns in the
city and it is certain that the league
work along political lines will become
a permanent addition to the election
machinery of the city and county. Ac-
tive organization of the towns of Ke-
nosha county for the work of the
league is planned in the near future.

MATERIAL MEN
STARTING FIGHT
Paving of Main Street Be-
comes Battle of Peti-
tons Today.
ASPHALT Is URGED

The paving of Main street became a
battle of petitions this morning when
material men started out with petit
tions seeking to get the favor of the
property owners for the various types
Of paving offered in the city specifica-
lions. The asphalt men were the first
on the job and the brick men were
just an inch behind them and the
holders of property on the street are
being bombarded today and the bonn
bardment is expected to continue un-
til the council acts on the bids a
week from next Monday evening. 1t
is pretty certain that the council will
be guided by the number of sigma
lures on petitions. An active propo-
ganda for the asphalt paving is be-
ing urged. 1t is held that the pave
ment will be more easily cleaned and
that the street would present a won
derfully changed condition. The City
Engineer while taking no part in the
fight has declared that in his belief
either type of pavement will give ex-
violent service on the street.
Asphalt Price Lowest.
The men at the office of the engin-
eer have figured out the front cost of
the various types of paving with the
provision that the street railway com
pany will pay for sixteen feet of the
pavement at all places where the com
pany has double track. The front
cost is shown as follows. Old fash
toned vitrifed brick 1887; three inch
vertical fibre brick $685.; 3h inch YER
teal fibre brick $3.50; sheet asphalt
$7.58; 4-inch creosote wood block
$945; 3-inch blocks 1898.
James Cape and Sons of Racine were
the low bidders for the brick pave
ment. The Western Improvement Co.
of Racine was the lowest bidder for
the asphalt and cresote block type of
pavements.
