Waltonian Banquet

Tomorrow evening at the
Congregational church par
lOrs in Eagle River, Walton
ians and spOrtsmen and sports
women will hold a banquet
and meeting. Banquet starts
sharp at $50.
F. w. Luening of Milwau-
kee, an out of doors man who
knows the North Woods like
a book, will tell you plainly
just what spOrtsmen, resort
men and business men are up
against in preserving and
building up our recreatiOnal
industries.
This means that every man
and woman, expecting to see
something left for the future
boy and girl, must lend of
their energies toward the
building up of this section.
It's assistance, not money,
that is needed. Letting one
man or woman do all this for
you has passed. You, your
self, must give of your time
and energy.
The WaltOnians ask you to
come tomorrow evening and
be one of them.

ALIEN PROPERTY
FRAUD Case TO
GET QUICK TRIAL
Fraud of $7,OOO,OO0 And
$44l,OOO Bribes Seen
In Case Against For
mer Custodian Miller
(By The Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, NJ Y, Oct. 31.-For
what government regards as a fraud
of S7,000.000 involving bribes totaling
SAL, ,G00, prosecution of Colonel Thorn
as w. Miller, former alien property
custodian. is to be pressed vigorously,
the department of justice announced.
The government is ready for imme
diate trial after investigation of mat
ters involving the American Metal com
pany, begun when Harry NJ. Daugherty
ended his career as attorney general
The occurrences under fire were dur
ing the Harding administration.
AS the result Of payments in cash
and liberty bonds Of $7,000.000 by the
United States to agents of the two Mer-
ton brothers, of Frankfort-onM Main, the
following disbursements were made by
the brothers, it charged:
To John T. King, former republican
national committeeman from Connecti-
cut-$50.00Q. of which he paid $25,000
to the late Jesse Smith.
To Miller, Smith and King-S391 900
in liberty bonds after the brothers
through agents we're reimbursed by
the United States for wartime seizure
VI SUCK VI the AIHcIICdH 4hcIdA SOii-
pany.
The charges are without foundation
in the view of Colonel Miller expressed
by his attorney. His official action
was entirely proper, he insists, and the
grand jury was hoodwinked" by
witnesses in secret. Miller, whose
home is in Wilmington, Del, will ap-
pear here next Wednesday for arraign-
ment.
Miller is the lone American under
indictment. King escapes prosecution
by his testimony before the grand jury.
The two Merton brothers, two Swiss
associates and three corporations
two Swiss and one German-are also
under Indictment.
The foreign individuals indicted can
escape prosecution by remaining abroad
but it is the expectation of the de-
partment of justice that the Merton
brothers will come voluntarily and
face trial because of their extensive
interests in this county. If none of
the aliens appear for the trial the in
dictments will stand on record and they
can be arrested if they should come to
the United States.

COLD
near RECORD
Mercury Drops To AIS;
October Record Is
80, in 1889

A temperature Of 42.5 degrees re-
corded here last night is within four
and one-half degrees of the coldest on
record here for October, according to
reports from the local weather bureau
office, furnished by w. J. Schnurbusch,
meteorologist here.
The coldest temperature on record
for October is SO. degrees, recorded on
October 80, 1889.
The coldest in October last year was
So degrees, recorded on October "a.
A rise in the temperature is expected
tomorrow, Mr.. Schpurbusch predicted,
the cold wave continuing today and to-
night with some moderation in most
parts Of the state and country.
The cold spell is unusual for this
time Of. the year, as shown by the
weather statistics, and the duration is
also unusual. Most northers striking at
this time of the year usually last only
a day or so, whereas the present cold
has held on for almost week.
The weather has been unusually cold
all over the country during the present
spell, Mr. Schnurbusch said Reports
show that it is holding today in most
sections, with predictions for a break
tomorrow.
The slow drizzle which fell yesterday
stopped last night. although cloudy
weather continued here today, with only
traces Of sunshine at times.

FRENCH Chief IN
SYRIA RECALLED
Sarrail's Post To B G
Filled by Civilian;
Cruelty Claimed

PARIS, Oct 31-General Sarrail.
Frances high commissioner in Syria
who has been reticent with regard to
the recent fighting in Syria and espe-
cially Damascus, which underwent
severe bombardment, has been ordered
home by the government to furnish
full explanation of the situation.
He will not return to his post. for
a decision has been reached by Premier
Painleve and his cabinet that instead
of a military commissioner civilian
henceforth will take up the task of su-
pervising the inundated territory.
The French cabinet for several days
has been much perturbed over the rep
reservations reaching it from Ameri-
can and British official sources regard
ing the bombardment of Damascus by
the French artillerists from October
18 to 81.
Lengthy descriptions were given in
these reports Of amazing and extraor-
dnary incidents accompanying the
shelling. The British consul at Da-
mascus in his report to the British for
eign office, which conveyed its con
tents to the French government, de-

rails regime.
The French authorities have not en-
deavored to hide their displeasure over
the trouble between French and Syrian
tribesmen. Before announcement was
made last evening that General Sarrail
wes to be recalled there was direct
indication that this would be the cul-
mination of the killing of great num-
bers of the populace of Damascus and
the razing of large part of the city
by French guns.
The anger of the cabinet is said to
have increased by the fact that Sar-
rail virtually ignored an urgent tele-
gram demanding full report. A short
dispatch saying he had mailed a report
last Tuesday and that this should be
in Paris in day or two was his reply.
LONDON, Oct. 31.-A dispatch to
the Evening News from Haifa, Pales-
tine, says the situation in Damascus,
where the French recently put down
an insurrection, is still critical, while
the surrounding country is "seething

MITCHELL TRIAL
OPENS MONDAY
(By The Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON. d. c., Oct. 31.-
Counsel in the court martial proceed
ings against Colonel William Mitchell
were taking advantage of an adjourn
ment today over the weekend to pre-
pare for the next stage of the legal
tussle. This will be the actual trial of
the officer on the charges of conduct
violating good order and discipline, q
stage of the proceedings barely reach
ed after nearly three days taken up by
efforts of the defense to halt the trial,
when the court took an early adjourn
ment yesterday until Monday to permit
preparations for the offering of evil
dence.
Colonel Mitchell and his counsel
meanwhile are to decide whether they
will ask the court that he be confront
ed by his accuser, meaning either
President Coolidge, Secretary of War
Dwight F. Davis, or both.
If Representative Reid of Illinois,
the defendants civilian counsel, does
decide to ask the court to issue SUBJ
poena for President Coolidge as wit
ness. there was no doubt today that
the move would come to naught. Legal
military authorities have definitely de-
cided, it was said, that court martial
has no authority by which it may sum-
mon thep resident as witness, prece-
dents for such an opinion, ID was added,
being found in decisions of the United
States, supreme court.
A request for the summons OF Sec
retary Davis, however, would present
a question which. IN the absence OF
precedents. the court would have to
decide on its own responsibility.
