Chicago Cops Capture Man At
tempting to Pass Spurious
Bank Notes.
BY international News Service.

CHICAGO, Aug. 9.-What police
and Federal authorities claim was a
tdaring attempt to flood Chicago
with thousands of dollars in coun-
terfeit bank notes today had been
frustrated, they said, by a series of
raids within the past forty-eight
hours, in which they captured man
they believe is identified with an in
ternational counterfeiting ring.
The man, who is held in $4,000
bond to await action of the Federal
grand jury, gave the name of Will
liam K. Kokalas, a vegetable and
fruit peddler. He is charged with
having counterfeit money in his pos
session.
According to police, Kokalas prob.
ably, received $4,000 in counterfeit
$50 Federal Reserve bank notes
from Anna Brandt, long-sought
leader of disbanded Chicago coun-
.terfeiting gang.
OF this amount, $2,700 has already
been found, $1,750 in Kokalas' safe
by deposit box in a bank and $3.50
hidden in his garage.
Discovery of photograph in Ko-
kalas' possession closely resembling
Mrs. Brandt has started renewed
search for her which lapsed some
time ago when she fled the country
with her. husband. Later she was
reported in various parts of Europe
and subsequently was reported haV-
ing been sent to prison.

Housewives In War
On Watermelons
At 81 Each

CHICAGO, Aug. 9.-Chicago
housewives are refusing to pay
a dollar each for watermelons
and are establishing a boycott
of the fruit that in former
years they purchased for half
that amount.
Rumors regarding an attempt
to corner the market on water
melons by a commission house
in South Water street were de-
clared today to be groundless
by w. II. Hall, in charge Of
the fruit and vegetable division,
Department of Agriculture.
"The reason the melon market
is glutted this year," he ex-
planned, "is not the fault of
the commission merchants but
that of the house-to-house ped
dlers, who handle the bulk of
the fruit retail"

lin TO Coach Bagshaw

h Navy, while an excellent team
| does not compare with some OIL the
eleyens that have represented the
Annapolis institution. 1t had only a
fair season, but managed to bring 1t
to a close in a fitting manner by
holding the Army, a strong favorite
to win, to a scoreless tie. .
The n big blot on the record of
the Navy eleven was the outcome
of the game with Penn State. The
Navy was defeated, FL to g.. At
that, the final result was not in keep
ing with the general play, as the
Navy was anything but outclassed as
the score would indicate.
The seemingly one-sided defeat
Of the Navy by Penn State was ac-
complished by the individual effort
of Halfback Wilson. In the matter
of ground gained there was little to
choose between the two elevens, Will
son excepted. On three occasions,
assisted by excellent interference, he
managed to get free and scored a
touchdown each time.
Surprised Colgate Team
Princeton figured to trim the Navy,
but the best the Tiger could do was
to get q 3 to 8 draw decision. In
this game the Navy showed much
improvement.
Then followed the surprise party,
the Colgate game. Despite previ-
GUS reverses Colgate was known to
have a strong team. The defeat of
Syracuse a few weeks later, Is to Z,
proved It. Yet the Navy beat Col
gate, 8 to o.
The Navy isn't a world beater this
year, but it's an average good team
that should maintain the standard
Of eastern football.
The only defeat suffered by Wash
ington in the nine games played was
a 9 to 0. reverse at the hands Of
California. In this game Andy
Smiths great California eleven was
pressed to the limit to win.

Value so pronounced that you are justified
in looking upon the purchase of a Dodge
Brothers Motor Car as the soundest possible
investment in transportation.
Not a dollar is added to the purchase price
to support a free service policy; nor to
cover the costliness of numerous body or
chassis types; nor to pay interest on bor-
rowed money nor to maintain a multiple
organization of middlemen.
Dodge Brothers finance themselves. They
sell directly through a single organization
of dealers to you, They do not believe in
charging in advance for service you may
neve need. They have developed re-
markable economies, and a time seasoned
product, by concentrating on standard
types.
These facts are reflected, not only in the
price of the Car, but in the quality Of
workmanship and materials that enter into
its construction.

 "We have been sitting on bomb in this city" said Mayor Cauffield, and it almost exploded last week when two of our policemen were killed and four others so badly wounded that one of them has since died and two others are so danger ously hurt their deaths may be eX- pected at any time. This was done by negro who had quprelled with his wife.
 T was away and when 1 came home and found the city in a fer ment I decided that the only thing to do was to send these newcomers out of town and keep them out, Resent ment was running high. No less than @ dozen flaming crosses were burned on the hilltops around the city and I feared an outbreak against the ne groes unless l acted promptly. swore in lot of extra policemen, arranged to have the state police come in on short notice and then be- gan disarming negroes"
 The old negro residents are "all right" said the mayor, but many of the newcomers are bad people" in- cluding ex-convicts. q have no ob- jection to the negro because he Is a negro" the mayor added but the situation was such that we had to act quickly"

Baker, county superintendent of education, that the capacity of the buildings were taxed and that an increased staff of teachers was needed to prop erly instruct the boys and girls en- rolled
 That the opening was suspicious and presages a season of unusual progress was indicated by Professor Baker, who said the teachers and children had spent a profitable vaca q ton and that there was energy and enthusiasm indicated in the renewal of the eduS<cional work
 In addition to the schools under the direct superintendency of the county authorities, the schools oper- ated by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company also opened dur Ing the present week and have start ed off with increased enrollments, it is stated, indications being that the capacity of the buildings maintained by that company will also be taxed to take care of the enrolment.
 Tn Ensley there is a deep interest in the work of the Minor High for the reason that the students and teachers have been drawn close to Ensey business men from cooperative measures of last winter Merchants of this sectiQ1 have come to feel that the Minor High is a part and parcel of this comIhunity, ana as such en- titled to all tue consideration and in terest that can possibly be shown.

E'y-


 GENEVA, Sept. 14.-(By Associ- ated Press. )-Progress was made to- day in the work of the League of Nations assembly on the proposed international pact of mutual assist ance, the aim of which is mainte- nance of world peace, when several more articles were approved by the commission on reduction of arma- ments
 Amendments to Article II of the pact, suggested by Christian l.. Lange of Norway. secrtary of the in- -parliam entary union, were re- jected after long discussion. This article is practically a duplicate of the famous Article x in the cove rant of the league which aroused so much debate in the United States Senate.
 As approved today it calls upon the signatories to furnish assistance to any state which is attacked, on the condition, however, that the country attacked has conformed to the pact stipulations concerning the reduction or limitation Of arma- ments.
 NJ. Lange's amendments provided that all international treaties should be filed with the league for regis tration and publication and that all the signatory states should accept the compulsory jurisdiction of the permanent court of international justice. Countries refusing to abide by these conditions would not be entitled to help from their fellow countries
