JAPANESE CABINET
TO DECIDE TOMORROW
japanese cabinet 500. $3.50.
Conversations with Secretary Hughes
Paves Way for AmicabIe Action
Toward Disarmament.
(By Associated Press Leased Wire)


Official circles tonight were
disposed to forecast definite action by
the Japanese cabinet tomorrow in ac-
ceptance of President Harding's sug-
gestion for a Far Eastern conference.
Apparently the talks between Ambas-
sador Shidehara and Secretary of State
Hughes in Washington have gone far
towards clarifying the situation.
According to Japan's understanding
of the American viewpoint, Americas
idea is to make the basis of the con-
ference a broad discussion of policies
and principles rather than of specific
topics, although each participant would
have the right to introduce specific
subjects if they were germane to the
principle under discussion, and if the
powers generally in the Pacific were
affected. The idea is said to prevail
that questions affecting two powers
should be left, wherever possible, to the
powers concerned.

Half of Kenosha
Taking It Easy
Census Report Shows that Only 45.2
Per Cent of Population are Engaged
in Gainful Occupations.

The extent of the numbers of Keno
sha people who are not listed in the
government census books as being
employed in "gainful occupation" is
larger than recent accounts have re-
ported it to be. The Census bureau
at Washington gave out. figures Fri
day covering Wisconsin which stated
that Kenosha with a population of
40, 470 has in it's ranks ,54.8 or 18,308
of that number that are not occupied as
heretofore described, or in other words,
plain, common, everyday jobless.
Kenosha is not alone in this respect,
however, since figures given out for
other cities in Wisconsin show prac-
tically the same conditions but not to
such an extent Superior with a popu-
lation of 1851 has 1858 workers or
416 per cent; Madison with popula-
ton of 38,378 has 18,464 workers or
42.9 per cent.

At least that's what the Magnusson

Bids for Pipe Show Big Reduction
from the Peak Prices De-
manded Last Year.


It's going to cost little less to
make extensions of the water mains
this year as the water board on Mon
day evening let contracts for one
hundred and eighty tons of iron pipe

forty dollars per ton less than the
peak price charged for the iron pipe
in the former year. The board ordered
extensions of the mains on Sixth
avenue north of Wayland avenue.
There is to be no shortage of chlorine
for the publication of the water as the

pounds of liquid chlorine at price
of six and one-half cents pound.
This, is also reduction from the price
charged last year.

have brought $4,000 back to Kenosha
with me instead of just story about

(By Associated Press Leased Wire
London.-General Jan G. SHUTS, the
South African premier, is expected to,
leave London for Ireland early next
week, probably Monday, to place his
services at the disposal of both Fam
onn de Valera the republican leader,
and Sir James Craig, the Ulster pre-
mier, during their critical considera-
tion of the Irish peace proposals, made
by Premier Lloyd-George. This state
ment was made today in a quarter
close to the South African statesman.
Home Rule Likely.
In circles which are closely observ-
ing the developm ents of the Irish stu
alton much satisfaction is expressed
at the prospect Of General SHUTS re-
entry int othe negotiations in the man
ner indicated. This is particularly the
case in view of the persistent reports
that the British prime minister's offer
submitted to Mr.. de Valera Includes
provisions for dominion home rule for
Ireland on the lines of the South Afri-
can. constitution. Concerning the work
ings of this form of government, Gen
eral SHUTS, it is pointed out; will be
able to give information of the great
est value.
Peacemaker Once a Rebel.
Perhaps even more important, in the
view of many students of the situation,
is General SHUTS reputed influence as
a mediator due to his former position
as one of the anti-English leaders in
thehSouth African war. This, it is held
by these observers, has established a
common bond between the southern
Irish leaders and General SHUTS which
renders his advice more acceptable to
them than that of almost any other
leader. Before Premier Shuts pro-
jected trip to Dublin, it is expected
Mr. de Valera will have submitted the
British prime minister's proposals to
the Irish republican parliament, or at
least have canvassed the situation with
the Sim Fem leaders.

Grace Missionary Church Of Zion. The

and city clerk of Zion TO issue a permit
to the members of the independent fac
ton to proceed with the erection of

for injunction, asking that Voliva and
his followers be restrained from inter
fering with the independents in the
construction of the church. The court
refused to grant the injunction, holding

this as a place to hold their services
On March 4th of this year they ap-
piled to the city clerk for permission
to complete the church and also to add
wing to be used as gymnasium. Ac-
cording to the charges in the bill, the
clerk gave them verbal permission to
proceed. Work was started on May 9Th

ders were received to desist because it
was held no permit had been obtained.

SAYS FOGARTY
SLAPPED HER
Mrs. Ben Stone t of Cos Gar
den Street Alleges Neigh
Dor Slapped Her.
HE DENIES THE CHARGE

Glove thy neighbor as myself" isn't
written in the bibles around on Garden
street. At least this was the impress
sion to be gathered from the records
of the municipal court this morning.
Mrs. Ben Stone appeared in municipal
court and declared that her neighbor,
Mr.. Lyle Fogarty who lives in
the flat downstairs slapped her face,
and instead of following the injunction
of the Bible where it says "turn the
other cheek" had him hailed into court,
on a charge of disorderly conduct. The
story as told by Mrs. Stone runs the
gamut of causes for neighborly dis
agreements, The cause for this par
ticular disagreement is hard to de-
termine and it perplexed the court Of
fcials not little. y
Brings in Bathing Beach.
} Mrs. Stone alleges that on several
occasions the boys in the neighbor-
hood had picked on her little four-year-
old daughter and that when she took
pains to correct the youngsters for
their ungentlemanly conduct, was in
turn picked upon by the neighbors.
Mrs. Stone declares that she has lived
in her present home for the past FIVE
years and there has never been dis
agreement that the action of Fogarty
was entirely reprehensible. Mrs. Stone
also brought into the story something
about being on the bathing beach and
intimated that jealousy on the part of
some individuals could cause whole
lot of trouble. "My actions have al
ways been those BETTING any married
woman. It is true that l go to the
bathing beach frequently but my hus-
band always accompanies me. My hus-
band works nights at Simmons and
goes with me in the afternoons before
he reports for work"
Fogarty Denies Slaps.
Mr.. FogartY was especially strong in
his denial that he had struck Mrs.
Stone. Il never touched her., he de-
clared this morning.

Points Prophecy
From Heat Wave
Voliva Sees in the Heat Wave Another
Reason to Think the Millennium
Is Now at Hand.

Zion-The present heat wave, accord
ing to Voliva, is just shadow or type
of the great heat that is in store for
this world AS soon as the saints de-
part from this world, heat will destroy
two thirds of the inhabitants Of the
earth, he says, and the dead will lie
from one end of the earth to the other.
"It may be that this summer is just
q little shadow of the great heat that's
coming" said Overseers Voliva, in a
sermon delivered Sunday. "The last
year of the Gentle Times blows its
hot breath upon us. There is nothing
ahead but universal chaos and anarchy.
Society is doomed. The present civil
ization is doomed!
Universal peace!" sneered Voliva.
beautiful peace! Peace, peace, beauti-
full peace!!
"-When they shall say. Peace and
safety; then sudden destruction COM
eth upon them, as travail upon a wo-
man with child; and they shall not
escape"
voliva quoted Paurs Epistle to the
Thessalonians, 5:5.
According to Voliva, the churches
will federate. and Rome will boss the
whole shooting match. The man is yet
to appear who will boss the League of
Nations, or revived Roman Empire,
and he will make a covenant with the
Jews. About that time, Christ will
appear in the clouds and catch His
saints out of this world for seven wears.
Then He will come back with the saints
and establish His throne at Jerusalem
from which city the entire world will
be ruled with a rod Of iron, the saints
acting as joint rulers over cities, states
and nations.
The Throne of Davrd-wiIl be restor-
ed at Jerusalem and kings will be sent
out under the direction of Christ, the
King of Kings. The Theocracy will
then be established throughout the
whole earth, and the Millennium proper
will have begun.
