 A considerable crowd of automo- piles waited from dawn at the field to witness the departure and the pilots were given hearty cheer as they passed down Boiling field. The world fiiers had an opportunity while here to have their planes tuned up as we'll as to report directly to their commander-in-ch President Coolidge and other high officials.
 They arrived here from New York Tuesday and were held over for the Defense Day exercises In which thelr part was to fly over Washington, drop flowers on the tomb of the un- known soldier at Arlington, and to participate in the parade which was reviewed by President Coolidge and General Pershing.

The planes, accompanied by the big Martin bomber, which will stay with them until they reach &c., attle, were expected to pass over Cumberland, Md, Uniontown. Pa., and near Wheeling, W. Va. The schedule calls for the squadron to remain at McCook Feld until Mon- day.
 A feature of the jump to Dayton was the plan of Naval Lieutenant John B. Kneip to join the f1iers at Moundsville, W. Va. in the diminu- tive plane in which the navy is test ing a new paper composition fusel- age construction. Lieutenant Kneip, who is giving the little plane its first road" test, had arranged to fly to Moundsville from her an hour ahead of the fiiers in order to re-fuel and join them there.

 Recognized in New York.
 The heir to the British throne yes- terday tested his ability to travel in public in New York City incognito. He did not succeed. Riding in a subway, stopping in his motor car to do some shopping in Fifth ave- nue and leaving the Woolworth building after a trip to It's pinnacle, he was recognized. In the latter two places by crowds SO large that heNswerved from his intended course to avoid being surrounded as he was at the Belmont park races on his Labor Day visit.
 In the subway, which in the mid dle of the afternon was able to pro- vide a seat for the prince, Captain A, F. Lascelles, his secretary, and Major Solbert, who were his only companions, two girls gazed long and hard at the royal youth but did not appear sure that they recognized him. In Fifth avenue, where he stopped his car to buy some tobacco, crowd gathered before he had time to alight, and the prince told his chauffeur to drive on.
 / Photo For Fire Department,
 The Syosset fire department feels sure of the success of its campaign for funds to buy a new engine, since the prince has offered an autograph ed photograph of himself to be dis posed of by the department. The picture, in a green and gold frame, was placed today in the window of a plumbing shop.
 The prince seldom gives auto- graphs or pictures of himself. But when Joseph Robinson. superinten. dent of the James A. Burden estate which the prince occupies, told him of the difficulty the local firemer faced in raising $14,000 for a new piece of apparatus, he promptly of- fered to help.

TAKE FIRM STEPS ID KEEP ORDER
Italian Killing Teaches Lesson, Says Rome Dispatch
By The Associated Press.

Rome, Sept. 13,-The assassina- ton yesterday of the fascist deputy Armando Casalini, avowedly as all act of revenge for the murder three months ago of the socialist deputy Giacomo Matteotti, it, is generally believed, will have a beneficial eff. feet on the general political situa. ton in Italy in the sense that 1t may convince the fascist and the opposi Ltion that the time has come to put an end to violence and that a large majority of the country is tired oi suchs an abnormal state of affairs.
 Premier Mussolini has given or ders that energetic steps shall be taken to maintain order. Sporadic demonstrations which have taken place in various parts of Italy, have caused no serious trouble despite the feeling of bitterness among the fas- cisti.
 Carabineers and troops have main- taihed the peace to the best of their ability, in many cases supported by the fascist national militia.
 Among the newspaper offices which some of the extremist fascist have tried to attack was the print ing house of Serene which is owned by the late Deputy Casalinis broth CT.
 It Is generally conceded that since the disappearance of Deputy Mat teotti, the different factions of the opposition had been encouraged by the greater degree of leniency of the authorities notwithstanding the de- cree restricting the activities of the press.
 The most excitable clements of the population, after the staying of Gas alini, prepared for catastrophe events but fortunately the situation did not take the grave turn it might have assumed.
 Yesterdays tragedy had eveA more painful consequences for the family of the victim than the mur- der of Matteotti. The latter was one of the wealthiest men in Italy while Casalini left almost penniless his mother, his widow and five small children.
 Arrangements have been made to hold a public funeral for Casalini on Monday at the expense of the Fas- cist party.

 Milan, Sept. 1S.-The prefect of Milan, on instructions from Premier Mussolini, has organized a strong police and military guard for the maintenance of order and especially for the protection of the offices of socialist newspapers and the office of the Corriere Della Sera which fas- cist sympathizers tried to attack af- ter they had heard of the assassina- ton of fascist Deputy Casalini. Sim liar precautions were taken to prO- tect the home of Senator Luigi AL bertlni, one of the leading owners of the Corriere Della Sera.
 The police are also guarding the leading Masonic lodges because the fascisti consider them as sympathe- tic to the opposition to the present government.

LET CONTRACTS
FOR ROAD WORK
Program Calls for Widen
ing Geneva and Somers
ROads-New Bridge.
WILL COST $4,000

Contracts calling for approximately
$4,000 worth of work on the high
ways Of Kenosha county have just been
let, it was announced today by John
F. Herzog, county highway commits
sioner.
This program includes the widening
of four and two-eights miles of con-
crete highway and the building of a
new bridge over the DesPlanes branch,
six miles west of the city on the Gem
eva road The widening work will be
done from the Kenosha city limits to
the Northwestern freight line on the
Geneva road, linking up with the road
at that point where it was widened
last year, and from the west end of
the town of Somers east two and one
eighth miles.
The contract for the widening work
was awarded to Olaf Jorgensen. His
bid on the Geneva road was approx
mitely $4,000, while he also took the
Somers job for approximately $11,500.g
Roads to be Open.
The contracts call for the work to be
done while the roads are kept open to
traffic. The bridge contract was won
by the White Water Bridge company
at $6,987. The next highest bid on
this job was $1,000 temporary
bridge will be erected over the river
to comply with the .open highway"
clause of the contract
This bridge project has been under
consideration for several years. The
present bridge was built to fit the old
14-foot road. When the road was
widened, it became necessary for au-
tomobiles to drive very carefully. In
the majority of instances drivers
brought their machines to a stop when
car was coming from the opposite di-
rection, rather than take the risk of a
collision. Two cars were damaged by
smashing on this bridge during the
past summer, it was reported.

cut down.
Meanwhile the teachers will not be
compelled to attend summer school.
This is the compromise given the
teachers, and was accepted by them
in a fair spirit or compromise, judging
by the response made to the report.
On this point the recommendation
accepted by the board read as follows !:
a"As recognition of the justice in
volved in the petition at this point,
we would recommend that the require
ment of attendance at summer school
once in three years be dropped, in the
* 1T the voluntary attendance on
the part of teachers and the benefits
to the system therefrom will more
than offset the possible loss in in
creased efficiency that would be Sc
cured under the former plan"
Another Concession to Teachers.
An adjustment of credits given
teachers for advanced study, through
summer school or correspondence
work was the further concession of
the board. Also a teacher who leaves
Kenosha to attend in some other city
will in the future receive the same
credit for teaching elsewhere that she
would of by continuing here, in the
event of her return again as teacher
in the Kenosha schools.
Mrs. Tom Barden, who with com
mittee from the teaching body, was
present to hear the committees report,
said that she believed the board had
made quite concession" in drop
ping the compulsory aspect of sum-
mer school attendance.
II believe it will be looked upon
with favor by all the teachers" she
said. "The great majority are striv-
ing to better themselves and keep up
with the times"
Special Teachers and Men.
One feature of the report was con-
tanned in the recommendation that
teachers not on a salary schedule, in
GLIDING special teachers and men, be
given the same increase provided
for special teachers and supervisors,

Part of the battle of the Kenosha
school teachers has conferred around

Returns Voluntarily After TO Plead Guilty TO Charge
Weeping Willows
With a History

Weeping willows with a history are
soon to be planted in the parks of
Kenosha, probably along the lagoon
at Lincoln Park.
The park department received this
morning several cuttings from the
weeping willows along the Potomac at
Mt. Vernon, the estate of George
Washington, these being the gift to
the city of the director of the estate
as a result of the recent visit of City
Manager G.. M. Osborn to Washington
and its environments when he attended
the city managers convention.
The city managers we're taken on a
personally conducted tour of the estate
by Mr.. Dodge, the director, who in
commenting on the weeping willows
which line that bank of the Potomac,
explained that some of these trees had
been planted there from cuttings from
the weeping willow trees which are at
the tomb of the great Napoleon. He
offered to send cuttings from the trees
whose histories reach across the seas,
to any cities which were interested.
Recently City Manager Osborn wrote
explaining that Kenosha would be in
terested in such cuttings and that the
trees properly marked with bronze
tablets would be planted in one of the
parks of Kenosha. The reply was a
package, containing several cuttings,
sent with the compliments of Mr..
Dodge to Kenosha. The park depart
ment will start the trees and later,
possibly on Arbor Day, they will be
transplanted.
Patriotic associations will be asked
to take part in the ceremony of plant
ing the trees, placing emphasis on the
historical associations which are con-
nected with them.
