KING GEORGE TO WAIT
ON GREEK PLEBISCITE
Fenizelos to Let People Decide Be-
tween Monarchy and Re-
public Soon.

Athens - Premier Venizelos today
told foreign newspaper correspondents
that he did not intend to recall King
George before the plebiscite which is
to determine the future government of
Greece.
Il strongly disapprove the sending
away of the king, which I regard as a
slap in the face of the Greek people, y
he asserted. Il am not a dictator or
revolutionist; am a conciliator.
81 have decided on plebiscite as
the best method for giving the people
an opportunity to decide between a
monarchy or a republic. The plebis-
cite will be under my personal direc-
tion, for nobody else could carry out a
referendum today in the. present state
of affairs"
One of the conditions under which
he agreed to return to Greece, Pre-
mier Venizelos said, was that the of
ficers' league which caused the Danish
ment of the king be absolved. Pre-
mier Venizelos has telegraphed Ismet
Pasha, Turkish premier, assuring him
that he will always be happy to coop
crate in the faithful execution of the
Lausanne treaty re-establishing neigh
borly relations between the two coun-
tries and strengthening peace Ismet's
reply reciprocated M. Venizelos' SEN
timehts.

BURT WILLIAMS FOR
MELLON TAX PLANS
Wisconsin Man Speaks for Tax Bill
Before Dry Goods Merchant
Convention Today.

Milwaukee, Wis. w, r. Knauf,
Chiffon, was elected president of the
Wisconsin Retail Dry Goods associa-
ton at the close of the morning ses-
sion of the seventh annual convention
here today. He succeeds J. L. Wilssy,

Other officers elected are;l
Jack Dick, West Bend, vice president;
J. F. Riemer, Burlington, secretary;
r. N. Johnson, Wisconsin Rapids, treas
urer, and o. w. Creep, Chippewa Falls
and H. B. Christy, New London, di-
rectors.
The Mellon tax reduction plan went
before the convention when Burt Will
liams, bank economist, Milwaukee,
gave an exhaustive discussion of the
probable working scheme of the plan.
The principal objective Of the plan,
according to Mr.. Williams was the re-
duction of surfaces and the placing Of
more money in the ordinary channels.
Money has been tight" he added, not
because business was poor but because
men with large amounts Of capital are
placing their earnings in tax exempt
securities.

Nation Celebrates the Fourth Ami

ment Today.

Washington, D. c. = Today the
fourth anniversary of the eighteenth
amendment was celebrated by thirty
year jubilee convention of the Anti
Saloon League of America with adj
dresses by prominent dry leaders, a
reception at the White House and ded-

the Methodist board of temperance

the shadow of the capital
Prohibition Commissioner Roy
Haines declared ''the way of the viol-

day of the get-rich-quick" bootlegger
is almost thing of the past He said
the call for observance of the CON
stitution should be borne to the we'll
TODD and influential citizens who have
been setting pernicious examples of
lawlessness and disregard for all law"
Senator w. N. Ferris of Michigan,
asserted that ''any survey of industrial
conditions in the United States; any
survey of crime, especially growing
out of the use of alcoholic liquors
ought in itself to convince the most
skeptical that prohibition prohibits
politics and lack OF fearless honesty
on the part of some officials" he said,
are among the chief difficulties of en-

LINCOLN CONFESSION
UNDER MICROSCOPE
of Aurora Attorney May
be Alive.

Aurora, Ill. - Although Warren j.
Lincoln, lawyer and horticulturist, who
confessed killing his wife and cremat-
ing her body and that Of her brother
last year, is being held without bail
on two charges of murder, doubt is
expressed that his confession which
he reiterated and signed yesterday is
true.
Mayor Charles Green, who has as
sisted Kane county authorities in in
vestigating the case, declares Lin
coins story is untrue. He said both
Mrs. Lincoln and Byron Shoup, her
brother, who Lincoln says was killed
by his wife, may turn up alive.
Credence of the authorities in the
statements of Lincoln was strengthen
ed yesterday when he signed written
confession and waived examination on
warrants charging him with the pre-
meditated staying of his wife and with
being an accessory to the killing of
her brother. A watch, thought to
have belonged to Shoup, and which
Lincoln said he threw into the Fox
river after the killings, was returned
to the authorities by boys who found
it last summer.
Lincoln has expressed desire to get
his case into a higher court as soon as
possible. The grand jury investigation
will begin next month.

Tor, was accused today in the SEN
ate by Senator Caraway, Democrat
of Arkansas, with 'betraying the
high trust imposed upon him" by
leasing the Teapot Dome, naval oil
reserve, land that for corrupt
consideration"
The Arkansas senator likened
Mr.. Fall to Benedict Arnold. He
demands to know how much more
Infamous" it was to sell "every
gallon of reserve OiI' for the first
line of the nations defense than
it was 'for Benedict Arnold to
sell a rocky fortress on the Hud-

'If it were not for my friend,

KenOsha Advancement Association Want More
Protection for Navigators of Lake
Vessels Here.
DISCUSS SEVERAL IMPROVEMENTS
Meeting Votes FavOrabIy Making Railroad Cross
ing ArteriaI Highway and Endorses New
POstOffice Project.

A move to make the Kenosha har-
Dor safer for mariners, was launched
Tuesday evening at a meeting of the
members of the Kenosha Advancement
association at the st. George hall when
a committee was named to send a
petition to the proper authorities in
Washington to ask that a really eff
fcient fog horn be installed here and
that the breakwater be electrically
lighted to warn navigators of danger.
The discussion brought out that re-
ports had been filed here by captains
of ships to the effect that the present
foghorn is not loud enough to warn
ships of danger and that the absence
of lights on the breakwaters make
them menace to ships.
With the tonnage at the Kenosha
harbor on the increase-it was stated
that it is now in excess of that at
Racine-it is important that steps be
taken to correct these deficiencies.
The action regarding the harbor was
only one of several things done at the
meeting, all of them looking towards
Improvement and growth of Kenosha.

WANT CITY TO ACT

The congressional committee on
public lands and buildings wants to
know just how much it is going 70
cost to get site for public building
in Kenosha and detailed reports of the
committee received from Congressman
Cooper today indicate that the city Is
expected to take early action to advise
the committee on just what can be
done. The formal report of the COM
mittee to Congress follows:
Want Definite Information.
"The committee on public buildings
and grounds, to which was referred
the resolution Oh Res. SD authoriz-
Ing the secretary of the treasury to
negotiate with the authorities of the
city of Kenosha, Wis, to ascertain
terms and conditions upon which can
be secured a site for a federal build
ing located in accordance with the
plan for a civic center adopted by
said city of Kenosha, having duly con-
sidered the same, hereby make report
of it to the House with the recommen-
dation that the resolution do pass.
A hearing was had on this resolu-
LiOHy 4AOAu WHICH II appears lndG the
city of Kenosha, Wis, has adopted a
comprehensive plan for civic center,
necessitating the widening of streets
and the demolition and removal of
many existing structures, including
the county courthouse and the United
States post-office building. The county
Of Kenosha is now engaged in erecting
en- site located in accordance with
said plan a courthouse at cost of
more than $800,000 The present site
and building at Kenosha were au-
thorized by the act of June so, 1905,
at a limit of cost of $4,000, and since
the building was constructed the bust
ness of the post-ofice has increased
approximately 800 per cent The
building is grossly inadequate to meet
the needs of the postal service and
its extension has been recommended
by the secretary of the treasury.
However, the purpose of this resolu-
ton is not to authorize an appropria-
ion at this time, but merely provides
that the secretary of the treasury as

provement and it is probable that the
proposal will soon be laid before
city officials.
A committee was also appointed 10
appear before the city manager and
taken this year to make the tourist
camp on Washington Island one of the
best in the state. Last summer the
camp was we'll established, but not
until late in the season. This year
it is hoped that it will be possible to
open it early in the spring and thereby
put Kenosha on the map as a city
that welcomes tourists and attempts
to provide for their needs. The lack
of hotel facilities in Kenosha was
pointed out as added reason for united
action on this project. 1t will be ask
ed that the city cooperate with the
various civic organizations of the city
in equipping adequate rest rooms and
providing other accommodations for
tourists at the camp so that motor
lists will have some reason for larry
ing while in Kenosha.
Want Crossings Arterials.
The association took strong stand
for safety in motor driving when they
unanimously passed a resolution to
be presented to the council asking for
an ordinance which would make rail
way crossings arterial highways and
would make it compulsory for, all
vehicles to stop before crossing the n.
This would necessitate the placing
of arterial highway signs at the
crossings. This move is in keeping
with the safety campaign which has
been launched by the Kiwanis club
and is now in full swing.
Assistant Postmaster M. F. Zens
addressed the meeting, explaining the
progress which had been made in the
movement to secure new post-office
building for Kenosha. He went into
detail in telling Of all the fred tape"
which must be waded through and
showed that the movement had made
as rapid progress as could be expected.
A resolution was adopted whereby the
association went on record as favor
ing the plan proposed for the new
post-office and offered its services to
further this movement in any way
possible.
The meeting was the occasion of the
regular monthly dinner of the asso-
citation and a large number of the
members of the organization were in
attendance, making the gathering one
of the most enthusiastic in its history.
The new officers, elected at the De-
cember meeting of the association,
were in charge of the gathering.
