Sultan of Turkey
Has His Worries
(By Associated Press

Constantinople = Anxiety for the
safety of the Sultan of Turkey has
prompted the local authorities to con.
slider the substitution of a closed
American automobile for the time
honored open barouche in which the
head of. Islam every Friday is borne to
prayer from the Yildez Palace to his
private mosque. This public "goingto-
prayer" ceremony has existed from the
time of Mohommet and is one of the
few remaining Royal spectacles to be
witnessed in Europe today.
Every Friday at high noon thousands
of the faithful, as well as hundreds
of foreign visitors, flock to the out
skirts of Constantinpole to witness the
Turkish potentate followed by digni-
fed encourage riding in a gilded car
riage to do honor to Allah. Throngs
of Turkish soldiers, sailors, fremen
and policemen line the curbstone and
guard with alert and furtive eyes "the
sickest man in Europe"
Some of the palace officials feel that
their sacred Caliph is too exposed to
attack by evildoers, and they have
suggested that the old-fashioned- slow
moving carriage be displaced by
speedy, closed limousine, which will
afford him greater protection.

MEXICAN BANDITS
CAPTURE AMERICANS
State Department is Advised That 40
Americans are Held on Demand
for $4,000 Ransom.

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.)
Washington. Forty American en-
ployees Of the Cortez Oil company near
Tampico and destructible property val
ued at a quarter of a million dollars
are being held by a rebel general until
ransom of $4,000 pesos is paid, accord
ing to message today from the Amer
lean consul at Tampico to the state
department. The dispatch was deliv-
cred yesterday and said that the rebel
general, Gorozave, had seized the COM
pany's property and was holding it
with 240 well-armed, men. Prompt in
structions were sent by the state de-
partment to the embassy in Mexico
City and to the consul at Tampico to
urge the Mexican authorities to take
immediate action for the protection of
American lives and property.
The consul reported that Gorozabe
had demanded payment of the $4,000
pesos within AZ hours from yesterday
morning when his forces seized the
property. The message said also that
there were no federal troops in the
vicinity. The consul's message con-
tanned few details. 1t said in substance
that the Cortez Oil company's Aguada
camp was in the hands of the rebel
general, Gorozave, with 240 well-armed
men; that Gorozave had demanded pay
ment of $4,000 pesos within AZ hours
from yesterday morning and that he
was holding a quarter of a million dol
lars worth of destructible property and
the lives of 40 American citizens as
security.
No Mexican Forces Near.
The message added that there were
no Mexican forces in the vicinity and
that the company had asked for pro-
lection for its American employees and
property. AS the message was dated
yesterday, the time for payment of the
$1,000 pesos fixed by the rebel leader,
probably was due to expire sometime
today. The state department. sent the
following message to the embassy at
Mexico City, similar instructions going
to the consul at Tampico at the same
time:
II urge the appropriate authorities
to adopt vigorous measures to extend
adequate protection to the life and
property Of American citizens reported
held by the rebel general Gorozave and
to punish the perpetrators of this
outrage"
Meanwhile the department was still
awaiting advices from Mexico to action
taken by the Mexican government to
obtain the release of A. Bruce Bielaski,
captured by bandits and held for ran
som not from Cuernavaca. The en-
bassy has communicated no additional
details of Mr.. Bielaslzi's capture since
it received the departments instruc-
tions to press the Mexican authorities
for prompt action in the case.

FARMERS SEEK
MILK HARMONY
Local Milk Producers Are
Hopeful for New Or
ganizatiOn Plan.
SEE MORE PROFIT

Racine and Kenosha county farmers
who are largely interested in the dairy
business, are hoping that the commit
tee of nine will succeed in bringing
harmony into the milk business of the
Chicago district.
The committee is composed of repre-
sentatives of the Milk Producers Co.
operative Marketing company and the
Chicago Milk Producers association,
which represent the two contending
factions, and the farm bureau, which
has interviewed to help bring about
peace. Wisconsin men on the commit
tee are H. c. Hemingway for the
Farm bureau, and "a. C. Stoxen for the
Cooperative Marketing company.
Surplus Production Bothers.
The Chicago territory includes 26
counties, 8 in Wisconsin, Is in Illinois
and 8 in Indiana. Of the milk pro-
duced in this territory about 2,074 900, :
900 pounds is sold as fluid milk in
Chicago and the cities in the district,
but the production is about 1,200,-
100000 pounds more.
1t is this surplus which is the chief
cause of the trouble. Fluid milk brings
higher price than that handled thru
condenseries, cheese factories and
creameries, and naturally there is q
scramble among the dairymen to sell
their milk in the city market. Distri-
butors, the farmers, say, profit from
this competition and the farmers lose
Pool All Milk, Plan.
E. B. Health, director of dairy mar
keting of the Farm bureau, says the
solution is to pool all the milk produc-
ed in the district and to handle it
through a central sales and manufact-
uring agency on cooperative basis
The agency would supply the city mar
ket and manufacture the surplus. The
proceeds from fluid milk and milk pro-
ducts would go into one pot to be pro-
rated among the producers. Each
farmer would get his share regardless
of what was done with his milk.
Another factor in the problem is that
the farmers near Chicago naturally
have an edge on the Chicago market
but in an open market it does not~help
them much because the farmers at a
distance, in order to dispose Of their
milk, undersell in the Chicago market
The trouble, has been to get the
farmers to work together.

Kenosha Minister Declines
to Solemnize Wedding in
County Jail.
FACING PRISON TERM
Divorced Wife of E. F. Hurst
Seeks to Remarry but Minis
ter Urges Her to Wait.

Kenosha county almost had we'd
ding behind the bars of the county Jail
recently. This became known this
morning when an attache of the sher-
ifs office revealed how Kenosha min
lister had refused to solemnize the re-
marriage Of Edward Francis Hurst,
confessed auto thief now awaiting trial
in the county Jail here, and the wife,
who divorced him several years ago
and who came to Kenosha to aid him
when she found that he was in trouble
in this city. The minister advised
them to wait until Hurst was out of
his present predicament and was ready
to Ego straight" as he insists that ne
will do as soon as he has "done his
stitch" in prison. All Of the principals
in the story of the halted Jail wedding
refused to comment regarding it.
Advised Woman to Wait.
The minister named by the attach6
of the sheriff's Office did not deny that
he had refused to marry the couple,
but declined to make any statement
regarding it. The deputy sheriff de-
cared that the minister had urged the
couple to wait to be remarked on the
grounds that it would be bad policy
for a minister to unite them in mar
riage when he knew that the bride
groom was facing a prison sentence Of
not less than a year. His advice that
they wait until this had been completed
and then re-marry and start life over
again was accepted and. is being fol-
lowed by the young peopleA
1t is declared that Hurst and his
former wife are very much devoted to
each other. 1t is said that her deyo-
tion in returning to Kenosha has done
much to influence him towards turning
against his former misdemeanors and
that he is now anxious to get his case
tried and his fate determined in order
that he may get through serving his
time as soon as possible.
Wanted as Auto Thief.
Hurst is being held in Kenosha on a
charge that he took diamond ring
from Miss Ethel Conwell, which charge
he denies. He has confessed, however,
that he is wanted by federal authori-
ties on an auto theft charge and will
probably be turned over to federal Off
Gals after his trial here.
Sheriff Rauen has issued orders to
allow Hurst to be visited daily by his
former wife. Since the time which he
attempted to saw his way out Of prison
he has been model prisoner and the
sheriff has rewarded him by this
privilege.

OVER WET PLANK
State Democrats Divided in
Convention Over Wet

KLLS0SHAN Is NAMED
Attorney Calvin Stewart of
Kenosha Named Member
Resolutions Committee.

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.l
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of the
18th, or prohibition, amendment to
the federal constitution to people
through the medium of constitu-
tional conventions, is called for by
resolution which Judge Martin L.
Lueck of Juneau has prepared and
will bring before the Democratic
state convention here today. He
proposes the resolution as a solu-
ton for the wet and dry division
which faces the party delegates.
The drys have declared their OPP
position to the Lueck resolution
and assert that they will oppose it,
even though the proposal affords
means of compromising. In his
proposed plank to the party plat
form, Judge Lueck says that the
eighteenth amendment was rati-
fed by the legislatures of the sew
eral states without submission di-
rectly to the voters" and expresses
the Democratic stand as "favoring
submission to the people through
constitutional conventions in the
states of a congressional resolution
modifying the 18th amendment to
the end that the people may have
opportunity of voting directly on
that question"
Congress is asked to provide for
the calling of constitutional con-
ventiOns in the states.
At the opening session of the
morning the delegates assembled
for conferences by congressional
districts to work out local political
problems. They then went in gen.
eral conference to organize for the
afternoon convention when full
slate of state officers will be select
ed and platform formulated.
The one consideration that is oc-
cupying attention of delegates is
prohibition, and the party attitude
on that issue. Women delegates
make up large percentage of the
delegations and are standing solid
ly with the drys, while the wet rep
resentatives are attempting to
work out some means of carrying
through wine and beer plank in
the platform.
