RUSSIA WON'T YIELD
I'm BRITISH SQUABBLE
Ready TO Make Temporary Arrangement
for Fishing Rights But Insists
On Conference.

Moscow, II Leonid Krassin, Russian
Soviet representative in London is I'M
officially understood to have been in
structed to inform the British foreign
office that Russia cannot yield in prin-
ciple from its recent note replying to
the British, ultimatum. The instruc-
ticnsF it is said, were sent as the re-
suit OLA Soviet government conference
last night. srrs
While willing to make some temper
airy arrangement regarding the fish
ing rights of the British trawlers off
the Murmansk coast, such as limiting
the territorial zone, and adjusting
other secondary points pending gem
eTral. negotiation, Russia still insists
thatI the differences between the two
cogntries can only be adjusted by a
CqafeEenca, particularly on eastern
questions. 1t is pointed out that Eng
land, despite numerous requests from
the Soviet government has never since
1920 stated exactly what the British
policy and interests in Persia and 9TH
er eastern lands actually are.
Only2a conference could reveal this,
1t is cohtended, and mutual concessions
attsuehsa conference might reconcile
the ditferences If Lord Curzon the
British foreign secretary, again de-
clines conference, the understanding
is that Russia feels there is nothing
for Krassin to do but liquidate the af-
fairs Of the Russian trade delegation
in London.

h st. Joseph, Mich.-A warrant charg-
ing Benjamin Purnell, head of the
House Of David colony, with a minor
offense, was in the hands of Sheriff
George c. Bridgman today while the
grand jury investigation awaited the
return tonight of Judge Harry j. Ding
eman. The warrant issued at the re-
quest of Attorney General Andrew B..
Dougherty was sworn to by Helen
Bauschka Couch, former member of
the colony. It is based on the charge
that Purnell made improper overtures
to Mrs. Couch while she was a member
of the cult. The warrant charges COM
mission of a felony. an offense, that is
not extraditable. Atty.-Gen. Dougher-
ty describes it, however, as an emer-
gency measure, that, within the state
would empower members of the state
police to take Purnell into custody.
Judge Dingeman faces busy week,
the fifth of the investigation upon his
return from Detroit tonight He has
intimated that failure of colony leaders
to produce Etidorpha Saith, wanted as
witness, will result in jail sentences
for some of them. A raid upon the

Mrs. Sarah Gregory
Dies in Milwaukee
Former Well Known Resident of Ke-
nosha, Died at the Home of Her
Daughter Saturday Night.

Mrs. Sarah Gregory, aged 81 years
widow of the late James Taylor Gre
CORY, and for many years resident
of Kenosha, died at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Frank Longstaff, 1885
Fortieth street, Milwaukee, on Sat-

suit of natural breaking down due
to advanced age. Mrs. Gregory had
left Kenosha little less than ten
years ago and had since made her home
with her daughter in Milwaukee.
The deceased was native of New
York state, but she came to Wisconsin
as a girl and she had spent much of
her life in Racine and Kenosha. Mrs
Gregory made her home on Exchange
street in Kenosha for many years
and the announcement of her death
comes as personal sorrow to large
circle of friends here.
Surviving her are four daughters,
Mrs. ]. T. Hernsheim, Mrs. Frank
Longstaff and Miss Matilda Gregory
of Milwaukee, and Mrs. Charles Bas-
sindale of Racine, and one son, Wal
ter Gregory of Milwaukee.
Funeral services will be held at the

remains will be brought to Kenosha
for interment in the family plot at
Green Ridge. A short service will be
held at the cemetery at half past
two o'clock.

MISS HANSEN TO
LEAD TEACHERS
County Committee Names
Pleasant Prairie Teach
er Supervisor.
In SESSION TODAY

Miss Anna Hansen, at present a
teacher at the Holt school in the town
of Pleasant Prairie, was named az sup
cruising teacher of the county at
meeting of the county school commit
tee held at the courthouse on shurs-
day. Miss Hansen was one Of the
three of the county teachers sug-
gested for the position by County
Superintendent John j. Kerwin. The
Office has been, rendered to her this
afternoon and it is believed that she
will accept the appointment. Her term
of work will begin the first of next
July and she is to succeed Miss AL
berta Worsley, who will complete her
term of Office with the close Of the
present school year.
The meeting Of the committee was
devoid of other features. Some ques-
tion had been raised as to the right
of Mrs. E. G. Ozanne of Somers, to
sit as a member of the committee on
account of the fact that her election
had been brought about with a vote
of the entire membership of the county
board and the question has been raised
as to the right of the city members
of the board to vote on the election Of
the membership of the committee.
Followed Precedent.
The formal request for an opinion
as to the action of the board was
made to the district attorney last week
by w. A. Upson, former member of
the committee, but there has been no
opinion given by the district attorney.
Mr.. Epson was in the city this morn
ing and conferred informally with the
members of the committee. He has
declared that he has no desire to have
place on the committee, but that he
had asked the opinion of the attorney
at the suggestion of some of the peo-
pie in his section of the county. These
people are said to have strongly urged
the re-appointment of Miss Worsley as
supervising teacher and several petit
tions to this end had been circulated.
1t was pointed out today that Miss
Angelina Tigh of the town of Brigh-
ton was named as a member Of the
committee with all of the members of
the county board voting and that no
question has ever been raised as to her
eligibility as a member of the COM
mittee. 1t is certain that pending
some action on the part of the dis
trict attorney to hold the election lille
gal, that all of the present members
Of the committee will continue to hold
their positions.

THREE NEW LAWS
WILL AID FARMERS

Madison, Wis. Three new laws
designed to help the farming districts
became effective today with Governor
Blaine's signature and official publica-
ton.
One in the measure by Assembly
man W. A. Freehof, Waukesha coun-
ty, which prohibits the use of the
words BUTTER" creamery" or
"dairy" or the name or representa-
ton of any breed of dairy cattle or
any other term commonly connected
with the sale of butter in connection
with the advertising Of any butter
substitute.
The state dairy and food commits
sioner, J. @. Emery, is given the ad-
ministration of this law. Violation is
misdemeanor, and punishable by a
fine of from $25 to $1,000.
The other bill was introduced by
Assemblyman ]. C. Hanson, Dane
county at the request of the dairy and
food commissioner Emery, and gives
him closer supervision over cold-stor-
age products. 1t provides that no food
product which has been in cold stor-
age for more than 40 days can be
labeled or advertised as fresh"
Senator Henry Huber, Stoughton, is
the author of a third bill, which au-
thorizes the formation of non-capital
corporations for the purpose of i'm
proving the breeding of livestock by
educational work. 1t provides that
such corporations shall be directed by
fve-member board, the chairman of
which shall be the dean of the state
agricultural college, and the other
four members of which shall be Sc
lected by the incorporators. At least
three of the four directors must be
Wisconsin livestock breeders.

FIND REMAINS OF
INDIAN WARRIORS
Workmen Excavating in Minnesota
Run Into Remains Believed to be
Those of Indians.
(By Associated Press Leased " irel

(By Associated Press Leased Direl
Aitkin, MINI. Workmen excavat-
ing for summer resort building at
Fort Portage, Aitkin county, northeast
of McGregor yesterday uncovered what
is believed to be remains Of Indian
warriors.
AS nearly as could be .ascertained,
there were bones of eight skeletons
found, with many spear and arrow
heads and knives of beaten copper. No
clothing was found.
The excavation is on an elevation of
such nature as to give credence to the
belief that the bones are those of
mound builders rather than Indians;
but the presence of the beaten copper
weapons points to Sioux or Chippe-
wa Indians Of later date, knowing
the use Of copper for spear and arrow
heads and rude sort of knife, beaten
to an edge, according to officials of
Aitkin county.
Fort Portage is off the railroad and
has no telephone communication. 1t
lies on the old Chippewa Indian war
trail that ran from the vicinity of
Duluth almost due west to Sandy
Lake in Aitkin county, according to
historical records.

Here's Big News
for Small Boys
Industrial Commission Decides to Per-
nit Sale of Chinese Firecrackers
for July 4th.
fBy United Press)

iBy United Press)
Madison, Wis. Big news for small
boys was announced today by the Wis
consin industrial commission.
Chinese firecrackers, the regular lit
tie red kind, not more than two inch
es in length, henceforth can be sold
In all places which handle such
things. Colored fire, if properly box
ed, also can be sold.
Sparklers, "son-of-a-guns" and other
miscellaneous fireworks, however, are
prohibited under the new order, and
cannot be sold in places within 200
feet of another building. These here
tofore have been permitted.
The industrial commission has, pow
er over the sale of fireworks under its
authority to reduce the fire hazards
The aim of the new change is to dis
courage the wildcat" shops and
stands opened in parks, 200 feet away
from buildings, to sell the more dan
gerous fireworks.
''Now that legitimate dealers in
permanent places of buiness are per
mitted to sell Chinese fre-crackers
not more than two inches in length
it is probable that temporary stands
erected in parks and vacant lots will
not find it profitable carrying on the
business of selling more dangerous
forms of fireworks" the commission
said.
Town or municipal authorities are
still permitted to give frework dis
plays as in former years, it is also
announced.

Modern Machines
Lessen Farm Woes
(Bv Associated Press. J

Chicago, Ill-If Farmer Jones loses
nut or bolt from his moving ma
chine, he need no longer crank up the
flivver for q trip to town. He may
replace it with similar one from his
binder, as a result Of the STANDARDIZED
ton and simplification Of farm ma
chinery indicated by survey just
completed by the National Institute
of Progressive Farming.
The programs of simplifcation, as
undertaken by leading implement
manufacturers, are improving repair
and dealer service with resultant saw
ing in time, labor and money for the
farmer, the survey indicated.
Figures furnished by Alexander
Legge, president of the International
Harvester company, were submitted to
the institute as indicative of the lines
along which his company has been
working for implications. He said
that in 1918 the company made one
standard two-horse wagon in 876 types
but reduced the types to sixteen in
1922. twenty-five sizes of plows also
were eliminated, he said. Reports
submitted to the institute by other
manufacturers showed similar proper
tional decreases.
From the humble beginning of Cy-
rus H. McCormick's crude reaper in
1881, the farm machinery industry
grew with such rapidity that short
ly before the war there were thous-
ands of different types of merely one
class Of machinery.
One result was that if a machine
broke suddenly, the farmer, Disguised
by the enforced suspension of urgent
work, hustled into town only to find
that the dealer could not furnish the
needed part. Days Of restless mac
fifty usually followed while the re-
placement was sent from the factory.
This loss of time and labor was costly.
After the world war, where stand
ardization was learned extensively, the
implement manufacturers turned their
attention to recognition of the benefits
of simplifcation as they would apply
to the consuming farmer. Thousands
of types we're eliminated by incor-
porating into one machine the good
points formerly possessed by several
Of the same type. The simplified ma
chine was superior to any of the ORR
ginals, having the best features of all
and the objections of none, the survey
showed, thus enabling the dealer to
have on his floor any standardized
type of machine, and to supply parts
direct from the stock requirements
without sending to the factory.
