VETERAN BUREAU
PROBE NEAR CLOSE
Public Hearings Concluded on Tues
day and Committee Prepares
Final Report.

Washington, D. C.-With the public
hearings virtually ended, counsel for
the senate veterans committee began
today the task of shaping up for the
consideration of the committeeman
the vast volume of information gath
cred in the investigation of the &C
tivities of the veterans bureau. Put
under way last March, the inquiry was
conducted simultaneously in practical
ly every state in the union and cul-
minated in public charges of corrup-
ton, waste, debauchery and intrigue.
With the closing of the public SEES
sion, John F. Ryan of New York City,
general counsel, told the committee
last night that what has been pre-
sented publicly CONSTITUTES but
fragment of what has been developed
both in relation to the neglect Of the
disabled and corruption and waste in
the bureau"
In its investigation, the commit
tee has been assisted by volunteer
field organization of more than one
thousand persons.

Paris-Lord Crewe, the British am
bassador, received instructions from
London this morning regarding the
note to the Allies are to send to Ger
many. 1t was then announced that
the council of ambassadors would
meet this afternoon,
One little word-the word consult"
lis what has been delaying final &C
ton by the council on the note, since
Monday, it appears from today's de-
velopments. The decision reached by
the ambassadors on that day was that
the note to Germany would set forth
the al1iea demand that the miIisary
causes OF the peace treaty be conn
piled with and that if Germany failed
to satisfy that demand the allies
would Consult" as to what action the
situation called for.
Objections to that word we're raised
in the French cabinet meeting Mon
day afternoon. 1t was declared that
the necessity thus imposed on France
to Consult her allies every time
action was required, was just what
Germany was relying on-that no step
forward would be made if after MAX
ing the concession to the British gov
eminent on the elimination of any
reference to penalties the hands of
the French government should still
remain tied.
After consultation between Jules
Cambon and Lord Crewe on that point
the British ambassador suggested an
other word to his government which
he thought might satisfy London, and
at the same time would remove the
objections of the French cabinet. 1t
is understood the British accepted the
modification which amounts to tacit
acceptance Of the French reservation
of the right to act separately if Ger
mans attitude should make action
necessary.

CITY MANAGER
PLAN GROWING
Thirty More Cities Adopt
City Manager Plan Dur
in Past Year.
OSBORN ON BOARD
City Manager C. M. Osborn of
KenOsha Returns to City
From Washington.

The city manager form Of govern
ment is becoming more general
throughout the United States, accord
ing to the report brought back to
Kenosha this morning by City Man
ager c.. NJ Osborn, who has been in
attendance at the national convention
of city managers of the United States
at Washington. During the past year
thirty more cities throughout the
country have adopted the city manager
form of government, bringing the total
above the $50 mark.
The most notable addition to the
ranks was the city of Cleveland, o.,
which is now a fullfedged city
manager-form city. East Cleveland, a
suburb of Cleveland, has been under
the city manager plan for several
years and it was partly due to the
record established there that Cleye-
land adopted the plan.
Kenosha takes particular interest in
this event inasp7uch as City Manager
G.. NJ Osborn of this city swas for
several years city manager of East
Cleveland.
Only Four Cities Left.
The report shows that during the
year only four cities in the country
have reverted from the city manager
form of government to the old alder
manic form such as was formerly
in, vogue in Kenosha. This loss was
more than offset by the many addi-
tions to the ranks.
One of the additions is the city of
GAINESVILLE, Wisconsin, which city with
Kenosha, is the Wisconsin representa-
tion in the league.
Osborn on Board.
City Manager C. M. Osborn of Ke-
nosha, who has served as president of
the City Managers association of the
United States, was continued as a
member of the executive board of the
organization While he made no
formal address at the convention, he
made an informal report of the ad-
vances1 made in Kenosha under the
new regime.
City Manager Osborn arrived in Ke-
nosha this morning. He has not as
yet compiled his formal report on the
convention but stated that this would
be filed later. He declared that many
points of interest to Kenosha were dis
cussed at the gathering, all of which
will be touched upon in his more
formal report to the city council.

Keeps Up the Fight.

Oklahoma City, Okla.-Opening his
fight to regain the goyernorship, J. G.
Walton went into federal court today
to renew his plea for government
intervention in the proceedings of the
senate court by which he was ousted
from office.
The deposed executive seeks re-
troactive injunction to set aside the
action of the senate court and restore
him to office on grounds that he was
denied the right of fair trial.
He charges that a majority of MEM
bers were Ku KluX Klansmen who
acted in furtherance Of a conspiracy
between the Khan and the state legis-
lature to remove him from office.
Should the court again rule against
him, he has announced he will appeal
to the United States supreme court.
Attorney General Short will appear
as counsel for the legislature and
state officials, including Governor M.
f. Trapp, who are named defendants
in Walton's suit. The attorney
general declared early today he would
file a motion to dismiss the deposed
governors action as soon as the
hearing begins.
Meanwhile the state Legislature pre-
pared to go ahead today with plans
for a general "clean up" of the admin
istration and to consider at an early
date anti-Ku Klux Khan legislation, for
which purpose the special session was
called by former Governor Walton.
The board Of managers Of the lower
house which prosecuted Walton at his
trial, expected to file in the house to-
day a bill of impeachment against
Charles H. Ruth, supreme court com
missioner and an intimate friend of
the deposed governor. He will be
charged according to the boards an
nouncement with trafficing in acts Of
executive clemency.

Non-payment of Admission
Tax Claimed by Fed
eraI Officials.
HAD SEVERAL CHANCES
Drastic Action Taken After Flu
tile Attempts to Collect
Tax Have Been Made.

Showing that the federal law. impos-
ing tax on admission to theaters has
teeth-and sharp ones too-agents OF
the collector of internal revenue for
this district placed padlocks today on
the doors of the Strand theater, 210
Rowland avenue, alleging that the
owners have failed to pay to the gov
eminent parts of admission taxes col
lected by the theater since January,
1922. The sum in question together
with the penalties which have been
attached because of failure to pay the
taxes on time amounts to more than
$4,000.
According to the terms of the war
rant in distraint, by which the theater
was locked today, all of the property
of the partnership may be sold within
ten days unless the tax in question is
paid. This according to the federal
officials will be the next step taken by
the government.
The action of the govtf9ment $ in
effect a lien on the Least. equipnl ent
and all property of the theater until
the amount due has been paid. The
theater cannot be opened until sat-
isfactory settlement has been reached
with the government.
An Unusual Case.
The alleged delinquency of the
Strand theater. has been before fed
eral officials for several weeks and
drastic action has been threatened
for some time, according to the state
ments made by the revenue officials
When all of these failed to bring q
settlement Deputies A. w. Foster and
Anthony B. Schnitz were directed to-
day to close the theater. According
ly all doors of the theater were pad
locked just after one o'clock this af-
ternoon and strict warning given to
owners of the severe penalties attach.
ed to breaking locks attached by the
government.
1t is the second instance in the his
tory of Wisconsin that such drastic
action has been taken in enforcing the
theater admission tax law. Two years
ago a theater in Milwaukee was closed
because of similar failure to pay
the taxes alleged to have been collect
ed from patrons by the theater.
Tangle Between Partners.
The case has been somewhat aggra-
waited by reason of a misunderstanding
between the partners, who are oper-
ating the theater, according to reports
that were current today. The theater is
owned and operated by John Kuchma
and Paul Woitowich. 1t is maintained
that Woitowich has paid his half OF
the tax in question but that because
he is partner he is still liable fol-
the remaining half 1t is also alleged
that Woitowich has offered to buy out
Kuchma's share in the theater and
make thereby method for settling
the tax question but that no agree
ment could be reached by the two
partners.
