MONEY FOR ROAD
BANKED FRIDAY
Treasurer and Clerk Bring
Back S167,O61.34 from
Sale of Bonds.
FOR THE GENEVA ROAD

The fact that the banks Of Kenosha
were opened on Friday night was a real
convenience for the county officials last
night and the county made one of the
biggest deposits of the day in banks Of
Kenosha long after normal banking
hours when County Clerk Charles l..
Holderness and County Treasurer Tom
Scott came back from Chicago, bringing
with them total of $167,06134 as
money realized from the sale of the
county issue Of road bonds issued to
provide funds for the completion of the
paving of the Geneva road to Fox River
bridge. The bonds were sold sometime
ago to the Minton-Lampert company of
Chicago. They are for $165,0O0 and
the amount extra received represents
the accrued interest on the bonds.
No Delay in Work.
The securing of this large sum of
money insures that the work on the
Geneva road will go forward without
interruption. Contractor James Gill
lespie of Oshkosh has large force of
men at work on the grading of the
road today and it is expected that the
whole of the nearly six miles of per-
manent paving will be completed by
the first of September and that the road
will be opened for traffic as far west
as the Brass Ball corners by July 4th.
The total cost of the road will be in
the neighborhood of $150,000 and the
money which is left over from the
bond issue will be placed in the fund
for the continuing of the improvements
next year. The towns through which
the road passes have not as yet made
any provision to pay their share of
the road, but taxes will be levied in
the next tax levy and the money will
be secured for the retirement of the
bonds as they come due. The bonds
are payable at the rate of $16,500 a
year.
In order to make as much of the
Geneva road available as possible.
Highway Commissioner Herzog is plan
ming to open the road south of the
Foster hill for traffic over to the viii
mot road. Every effort is to be made
to have the improvement of the road
90 forward with as little inconveni-
ence to the public as is possible.

County Rich Harvest for State.
This bill shows that Kenosha county
tax gatherers have yielded rich har-
vest for the state in the collection Of
theiincome and special taxes. In fact,
the bill which the state has sent to
Kenosha county IS the largest sent to
any county in the state with the ex-
ception of Milwaukee county. 1t was
asserted today that the total of the
bill to be paid by this county would
be greater than that paid by some
thirty other counties of the state. 1t

Genoa The Genoa conference is
drifting toward the rocks again.
Whether it can be kept from wreckage
depends upon the possibility of adjust
ing the new demands of the Russian
Soviet delegates with the position Of
the Allied government, Who declared
they will steadfastly stand by the res
olution adopted at Cannes, on which
the conference is founded.
The situation is made more critical
by the French premier's frank warn
ing in his address at Bad LIE Due yes
terday that France will withdraw from
the conference if she is unable to see
that the ideas expressed by the
French cabinet before parliament can
triumph.
French Insist on Demands.
These French practical demands in
clude maintenance of the war repara-
tions figures, disbarment of all dis
armament discussion and no changing
of existing treaties at Genoa. In adj
dition France insists on rigid adher-
ence to the Came resolutions which
call for the payment of Russia's pre-
war debts and the restitution by the
Soviet of foreigners property in Rus
STA.
The conference of experts on the
Russian question broke up yesterday
and adjourned sine die because the ex-
perts representing the powers found
the Russians new set of proposals alb
solutely in contradiction to the Soviet
note accepting the Allies terms as a
basis for future deliberations.
Bolsheviks Want AnnuIment.
Instead of accepting the Allies de-
mands for the payment of war debts
with the understanding that these
debts be scaled down and the arrears
in interest either postponed or remit
ted in part the Bolsheviki had an en-
tirely different proposition. They ask
ed the complete annument of all war
debts.
Under these conditions, Said Sir
Laming Worthington- Evans, chairman
of the meeting, 1--WE cannot discuss any
fur ther. We must refer this matter
to our respective governments" 1t
was then decided to adjourn the sit
ings sine die. All the experts except
the Russians arranged to meet today
and go over the entire situation.
Despite the serious outlook, the
heads of the various delegations have
not abandoned all hope. Some, how
ever, frankly informed the Associated
Press last night that they saw no pos
sibility of making an arrangement with
the Soviets unless the latter radically
modified their program.

was cNhed out by the high tension de-
veloped over Russia's claims which are
considered in some quarters as threat
ening to disrupt the conference. He in
sisted, however, that it was the eff

right to nationalize property and their
attempt to infringe upon her sover-
eighty in that connection that were
holding up the work of the experts and
delaying the conferences progress.

George Fischer Pleads Gull

THREE COUNTS NOLLED

Another chapter in the history of
the grand jury cleanup of Kenosha
county was written quietly on Monday
afternoon when George Fischer, pro-
prietor of the, Fischer hotel on Market
street, entered plea of guilty to a
grand jury Indictment of selling IL
quor and was, fined $500 by Judge E. B.
Belden. The pleading took place in the
chambers of Judge Belden, the other
rooms of the court being occupied by
other cases.
Fischer was indicted on four counts
by the grand jury all on charges of
selling intoxicating liquor. When the
case was called the state by the dis
trict attorney nolled, the first three
counts of the indictment and the de-
PENDANT, when arraigned on the fourth
count pleaded guilty. He was SEN

the grounds that since the municipal
court was organized to care for such
cases, the grand jury cases were all
without the jurisdiction of the scircuit
court. This point of law, which was
involved in all of the cases, was bit

finally the supreme court handed down
a decision declaring that the circuit
court had full jurisdiction in the case.
The decision was of vast Importance

dISSQ W q
On January /, 1917, the National
tuberculosis Association began a
demonstration with fund of 100000,
donated by the Metropolitan Life Insur-
ance Company in an effort to show
whether tuberculosis may be controlled
in an average American town. Fran
ingham is just that.
DEATH RATE LOWERED 1919
The death rate from tuberculosis for
the ten years preceding the demonstra-
ton with resident and certihcation cor
rections was l21 perl100,000 If Fran
ingham had been a town of 100000 in
stead of $4,000 the 10 year death rate
would have been 121 per 100000. In
five years these death rate figures have
been reduced to 40 per 100000, or
nearly 1920.
To accomplish this result the Nation

leadership of DR.. Donald B. Armstrong
