What a rosebud garden of girls, !"

But the girls didn't take it very
well. He went around disgruntled

struck him q terrific blow over the
head with the butt of a revolver when
he opened the door.
The recluse was unable to give a

er than that they ell appeared to be of
about middle age.
The only clews left by the five ban
dts were several blank applications
for Michigan boxing licenses, found on

authorities believe indicate that the
assailants are from the state of Mich
igan.
Labim's condition is not thought to
be serious, according to the attending

Kendrick as director of public safety
for PHILADELPHIA is expected today
The brigadier general of marine
corps, loaned" to Philadelphia by
President Coolidge for one year so
the fighting Quaker could clean up
vice, crime and liquor here, will con-
fer with Kendrick today as to his
status. The two officials are no longer
of one mind as to police procedure.
AS result, Butler, it is understood,
will not be retained as head of the
safety department after his leave ex-
pires on jan 10, 1925, and he may
even he asked to resign his post at
once.
Politicians, it is said, have brought
pressure to bear on Kendrick in an
attempt to get the mayor to dispense
with the services of the Marine gen
eral-polce chief.
Butler is accused of being "out of
harmony" with the administration and
with political leaders. This accusation
came when the director began redis-
tricting police stations to kill political
control of the police department.
With the sword of dismissal hanging
over his head, Butler today continued
his work of redistricting police sta
tions. He refused to comment on the
situation. He smili1gly said he had

London.-Unoficia American sugges-
tions on the matter of German defaults
which were laid before the committee
Of the inter-allied conference yesterday
led to the elaboration of various alter
native for1nulae by the experts, espe-
cially by the French, according to the
Daily Telegraph's diplomatic expert,
who says that the American sugges-
lions are ascribed to Owen D. Young,
a member of the Dawes committee.
The Telegraph writer says that the
French formulate was drawn up by
Count Peretti de la Rocca, head of the
economic department of the French
foreign office, and comprised four ar
ticles, the first two OF which combined
parts of the French and British propo-
sails; the third and fourth, however,
are entirely new.
The third article, according to this
authority, was to the effect that in or
der to guarantee the service of the
proposed German loan and to facilitate
its marketing to the public, the allies
declare that in the event of sanctions
being employed following German de-
fault they will regard the service of
the loan as enjoying a first m ortgage
over all those res ources of Germany
which will fall into their possession or
under their control.
The fourth article, it is said, declared
that, subject to provisions Of preceding
paragraphs, all rights now enjoyed by
signatories of the treaty Of Versailles
are reserved.
It was Count de la Rocca's formulate
that occupied the first committee yes
terday, according to the Telegraph.
The newspaper adds that general opin-
ion is favorable to the third article
which was discussed at great length,
but there is considerable opposition to
the fourth as it would leave open the
question Of separate action by the al
lies.

day in giving to others. Today there
is shown above picture of Mr.,
Cooper and bouquet similar to the
one that he sent to every vets bed
side.
Last year Mr.. Cooper made a SINH
lar gift to various Wisconsin hospi-
tails and in the year before that he
made peony way out of the North
Shore line, placing peonies in every
station of the company from Chicago
to Milwaukee.
Mr.. Cooper for many years was
president of the Cooper Underwear
company of Kenosha, retiring from
that position several years ago. AT
his home on the Cooper road, he has
a peiny garden which horticulturists
claim is the greatest in the country.
These experts call Mr.. Cooper the
greatest peony grower in the world.
But he styles himself just "a Peony
Fan"

BARNETT PLEA
BRINGS RESULTS
Railroad Remedies COntin-
uous Ringing of Bell
After Complaint.
TO ALLAY CONDITIONS

Motorists who have had occasion to
notice the continuous ringing of the
crossing bell on the Geneva road, at
the BARN station crossing of the Chi
caeo and North Western Railway COM
pany, will be disturbed no more. Com
plants have been made for several
weeks that blocks of freight cars were
side tracked a few hundred feet from
the crossing and their presence on the
tracks caused the signal to ring con-
tinuously without heralding the APP
proach or departure of any moving
trains. AS a result motorists found
themselves spending everywhere from
one to ten minutes at the crossing
whiting for something TO happen while
the bell was ringing and the alarm
was swinging. Oftentimes traffic all
the way down the road for distance
of hundred yards or more was held
up.
When these conditions were called
to the attention Of Morris Barnett, dis
trict attorney, he Immediately applied
Ito the railroad company for some rem
edial measures to avoid the unneces-
,sary delays.
Order Clears Things Up.
The result of the distrirt attorneys
complaint was a bulletin from the
general superintendent of traffic for
North Western line, P. G. Campbell,
(which was issued under date of July
E19, reading as follows:
"To all Engineers, Enginemen and
sTrainmen:
Eve are confronted with a complaint
ito the effect that trains on the new
lime in the vicinity Of Balm station, re-
main in the circuit for long intervals
land cause the crossing bell on the
Geneva road to ring continuously.
you are cautioned to avoid, to the
fullest extent, leaving your trains in
Ethis circuit"

KENOSHA RULES
STAND THE TEST
Chief Logan Says Ken0sha
Traffic Regulations Are
Up to Standard.
BACK FROM MEETING

Kenosha's traffic regulations are as
good as the best of them, according to
Chief of Police Thad Logan, who re-
turned today from the convention Of
Police Chiefs of the United States and
Canada at Montreal The question Of
the regulation of traffic was one OF
the main points under discussion at
the convention, steps being taken to
bring about Standardization of traf-
fee regulations An all cities of both
countries.
"Kenosha's traffic regulations are as
near as any one of them would be to q
standard set of regulations" declared
Chief Logan. "Should such a-stand-
ard be adopted by all the cities, which
action would be most desirable, there
would be very few changes to put into
effect in Kenosha."
Zoo Cities Represented.
Six hundred of the leading cities of
the United States and Canada were
represented sat the convention. Every
state in the Union had at least one
city represented in the convention.
The police chiefs also discussed the
possibility of using radio more extern
sively in the trailing of criminals,
starting a movement for the adoption
of code which would utilize the air
for the needs of justice.
The association also went on record
as favoring the passage of a federal
law which would prohibit the sale of
firearms to any person without a po-
Iice permit. Such flaw, it is de-
clared, would do much to cut down
crime throughout the country.
