WILL DENIILITARIZE
CONTROL MISSION
Allied Council of Ambassadors Decide
That Civilian Control is Better
Than by Army officers.

Paris = The demilitarization Of the
allied military control mission in Ger
many was practically decided uponN by
the allied council of ambassadors to-
day. At a session attended by Mar
shall Foch and with the United States
represented by Sheldon Whitehouse,
counsellor of the American embassy,
the ambassadors received favorable
opinion from the inter-allied military
committee as to the suggestion made
by Prime Minister Macdonald of
Great Britain that the present mill
tary mission be ultimately succeeded by
the allied committee on guarantees.
Considerable significance is attached
to this decision, apart from it's bear
ing upon the relations between the al
lies and Germany. 1t is the first sug-
gestion of the new British cabinet to
be accepted and acted upon by the al
lied body.
The decision means that the control
of Germany's military preparations
will be exercised by civilians instead
of by army officers, although the in
tention is not by any means to relin-
quish the control.
The ambassadors adopted the text Of
a letter on this subject which will be
forwarded to the German government
tonight or tomorrow.

DEMANDS GRAND JURY
in VETERAN PROBE
President Coolidge Demands Washing
ton Grand Jury TO Sift Vet.
Bureau Charges.

Washington, D. G. - Not only the
charges against two members. Of Con-
gress, but evidence relating to other
suggestions of wrong doing by officials
in Washington as well will be laid be-
for federal grand jury here imme-
diately.
White House officials said today
that all phases of evidence adduced
recently by the Chicago jury and not
passed on there because of lack of
jurisdiction, would be gone into by a
grand jury here.
The subjects expected to come I'M
der inquiry involving charges that one
or more high officials used official in
formation for purposes of speculation;
that liquor permits were wrongly pro-
cured through use of money; and that
official government files were turned
over to persons not entitled to them.
For the present no official will dis
cuss details of these charges nor dis
close in what direction the inquiry
may lead. The development has Gre
ated stir in official circles, how
ever, second only to that which fol-
lowed the oil disclosures.
President Coolidge announced last
night that the charges against the two
members of the house, involving ac-
ceptance of money in connection with
the release of federal prisoners, would
be thoroughly investigated by grand
jury. Prior to that the senate veter-
ans committee had held two sessions
to consider the charges and a resolu-
tion for an investigation had been in
troduced in the house.
John w. H. Grim, who was in charge
of the Chicago investigation, has con-
ferred with uembers of both senate
and house but, he has declined to furn-
ish them with the names of those in
volved or any details, taking the posi-
ton that the evidence require further
development before any of it can be
divulged. 1t was developed incident
ally, in connection with the Veterans
Bureau inquiry that resulted in the
Of Charles r. Forbes.
MIR. Grim also has reported the facts
to the White House, leaving to Presi-
dent Coolidge the decision as to what
action should be taken. Today's an
nouncement was Interpreted as an in
dication that the executive was pre-
pared to demand complete sitting
of the evidence regardless of who
might be involved.

REPRESENTED HERSELF
Wins Suit for Annullment of His Mar
riage.-Clafmed She Was From
Socially Prominent Family.

New York City - Beverly B. Harris,
former president of the National

resented herself as a member of So
cially prominent family and falsifed
concerning her moral character in his
suit for the annullment of his marri-
age. Asked to answer six questions,

GIRL RESCUES
FRIEND; Is HIT
Cecile McDevitt Saves Girl
from Being Struck by
Car-Hit Herself.
IS SENT TO HOSPITAL
Driver of Automobile Compli.
ments Girl on Display of
Grit in Fac of Danger.

Cecile IicDevitt, 26 years old, living
at 622 South Fremont avenue, saved
a companion from being struck by an
automobile while crossing Main at
Market street last night, only to &c
struck by the same machine and sent
to St. GATHERINGS hospital.
According to the police the girls
had lust left north bound street car
and were crossing to the west SIDE OF
Main street. They were passing in
front of an interurban car when 1T
sipnaled to start. Both girls leaped
to safety, but directly into the path
of sedan being driven by Nels Lang
mes, of 829 South Lyman avenue.
Miss McDevitt realizing that her
companion would be struck, disregard
ed her own safety and jumped to the
side of the other girl, who she sue
ceeded in pushing out of the path OF
the automobile. The driver of the
car. which was coming south on Main
street at moderate rate of speed,
slammed on his brakes when he saw
that he was about to hit he girl, but
not quick enough, however, to avoid
the accident.
Takes Girl to Police.
AS she was hit, Miss McDevitt had
sufficient presence of mind to grab
the bumper of the machine and keep
from being run over. She was dragged
for about twenty feet and her cloth
ing badly torn.
Langnes Immediately rushed her to
police headquarters where he reported
the accident. The police removed the
girl to st. GATHERINGS hospital and
summoned DR.. o. w. McCluskey. An
examination showed that the girl had
been badly bruised about the ankles
and had suffered minor bruises about
the body.
After being given treatment at the
hospital she was removed to her home.
In a statement made to the police,
Langnes said that the girls action
was one of the coolest bits of bravery
which he had ever witnessed. Had he
been travelling faster, he said, she
would have undoubtedly been seri-
ously injured. He declared that when.
she jumped back to shove her com
panion aside, he did not believe that
she had an opportunity to judge
the speed at which his machine was
travelling.

M. A. Miller, Pioneer jew
eler, Called by Death
This Morning.
EARLY SETTLER HERE
Native of Denmark; Came to
Kenosha in 1859 and Long
Been in Jewelry Business.

Death claimed one of the oldest
residents of KenCsha this morning
when MAIDS Anton Miller, aged "a
years, for more than half century a
jeweler in Kenosha, died at his home
at 720 Dayton street after a long i'll
ness. He had been in failing health
for several years and had been critic
ally i'll for the past month; death was
not unexpected.
The deceased was born May IA, 1889
in Ribe, Denmark, the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Beck Miller, prominent residents
Of that city. He came to America IN
1859 and late in that year came to
Kenosha. He early learned the trade
of a matchmaker and a jeweler and
had been an expert workman in this
business.
In the sixties he had established a
jewelry store on Main street IN ke-
nosha and for many years had been
one of the leading jewellers of the
city. In recent years he had conduct
ed a jewelry business at his home,
having retired from an active bust
ness life.
For more than thirty years the Mill
err home had been at 367 Pearl street,
which home they left two years ago
when the site was sought for the To-
cation of the new courthouse.
When Anton Miller, as the deceas-
ed was known, came to Kenosha there
were but four Danish families living
here. He had made several trips to
Denmark and had encouraged persons
of Danish birth to come to this city,
his efforts having resulted in tie
building up of the large Danish COM
munity now in Kenosha.
Survived by Widow.
While in Ribe, Denmark, in 1877, he
was united in marriage to Miss Maria
Hauscheldt, who returned with him to
Kenosha at that time. His widow sur
wives him. The deceased was also the
brother of the late Beck Miller, for
many wears prominent in the bust
ness life of Kenosha.
Mr.. Miller was one of the early
members of the Kenosha German
Workingmen's Society.
The remains. were taken to the Han
sen Funeral Home where the funeral
service will be held Friday afternoon
at two o'clock with interment in the
family plot in the Green Eidge CEN
etery. Jewellers of Kenosha are to be
the pallbearers at the funeral services.

BANK TAX LAW
TO SUPREME COURT
Original Action to Test Rights of the
State is to be Brought at Once
National Banks Interested.

Madison, Wis. - Original action in
the supreme court to test validity of
the laws authorizing the state tax COM
mission to levy ad valorem taxes
against stock of state and national
banks is likely within a few days, it
became known today. The action will
be brought at the instigation of Gov.
Blaine and the tax commission. 1t is
estimated by tax officials that over
million dollars annually is involved in
the suits. Suits to test validity of the
to laws are now pending in local courts
in Milwaukee, brought by four nation
al banks of the city.
Gov. Blaine has addressed letter to
Atty. Gen, Ekern requesting him to
takest cps to have the state department
directly represented in the action and
suggesting that original action in the
supreme court be brought, if the legal
department deems advisable.
Both state and national banks have
attacked legality of the state laws
levying taxes against stock of such
concerns.

CONGRESS TACKLES
MUSCLE SHOALS TODAY
Bitter Clashes Mark Consideration of
Offer of Henry Ford in
Lower House.

Washington, d. G. - The house to-
day set aside other business to con-
tinue consideration of Henry Ford s
offer for Muscle Shoals, Representa-
tive Longworth, Ohio, the Republican
leader, urging that there be no Interrupt
ton which would prevent vote by
the end of the week.
Under the rules, which were upset,
the day would have been devoted to
other measures, and debate, begun
yesterday on the Ford offer, would
have been postponed.
AS general debate got under way
Representative James, Michigan, a
Republican member of the military
committee, who favored acceptance of
the Ford bid, attacked the minority
report of Representative Hull, Repub-
lican, Iowa.

James continued, ''are attempting to

The announced intention of Ford to
extend power lines in all directions
from Muscle Shoals, Mr. James said,
is the real reason the Alabama Power

TRIAL in APRIL
Many Waive Preliminary
Hearings and Are Bound
Over Today.
COURT VERY QUIET

A number of liquor cases were
slated for a preliminary hearing in
the municipal court oday, but when
the cases were called it was indicated
that the saloon men were willing to

slider the advisability of entering
guilty pleas when the curtain rises on
the jury trials in spring in court.
Following the fashion that has been
customary among the soft drink. pro-
prietors caught with the goods in the
past, it is expected that in the ninth
hour a number of them will seek to
put the court in a grateful mood by
their sparing the county the expense
of a trial and do little late bar
gaining in fines, by entering pleas
of guilty at the critical moment when
the jury is present.
Three Defendants Bound Over.
Peter Buratti, 27 South Newell
street, charged with possession of
ing this morning, but his case was
continued until March 18th. There
was an intimation that Buratti will
enter a plea of guilty some time

street, waived preliminary hearing on
liquor charge and has been bound
over for trial to the April term unoer
bonds of $500.
Steven Grismayer, 900 Park street,

bound over, and Walter Bituates, 20
South West Main street, who is in the
soft drink" business, like the others,
and caught with drinks that were
harder than soft, has likewise waived
and was bound over for trial this
morning.
