Patterson yard formerly part
of the Thompson, afterward the
MacRae, place) lie prone upon
the ground. They had to be
felled because they were dying.
A count of the rings in the
trunks shows the trees to be a.
bout a hundred years old. The
late Oregon Tenney, not long
before his death, told Mr.. Pat
terson that he remembered the
militia in encampment under
these sycamores when Andrew
Johnson, the President of the
United States, visited the Uni
versity soon after the close of
the Civil War. I recall that in
the nineties, when the MacRaes
lived there, the space under
them was a favorite playground.
The McIntoshes did succeed
finally in getting some turnip
greens to their daughter -in-law,
Mrs. Ned Mcintosh, in New
York. After it was found that
the first consignment had gone
to the Dead Letter Office, Rev.
John Caldwell was appealed to
for new supply. He produced,
and this time Mr.. Mcintosh was
careful to address the package
correctly. Word came back
that it had arrived safe and that
the green's had been much en-
joyed.
DR.. William MacNider anna
zed me a year or so ago by tell
ing me how his aunt, Miss Eliza
Mallett, would rise from bed in
the middle of the night and go
downstairs to the pantry and
eat dill pickles. This struck me
as rather daring for a person
eighty-odd years old, and / was
inclined to doubt the accuracy
of the report. But since / saw
her making way with fruit cake
and cheese the other night l
can believe that she would balk
at nothing.
In last Sundays paper / read
of a mail carrier at Burlington
who was celebrating the end of
his goth year on an r. F. D.
route. But Edgar Merritt, here
in Chapel Hill, beats this rec
ord by two years.
Of course the weather is al
ways favored topic of conver-
sation, but it is doubtful if it
has ever been talked about so
much in Chapel Hill, or so
roundly cursed, as in the last
two weeks. The main street,
on both sides Of the central
strip of concrete has been we'll
nigh uncrossable; and as for
Cameron Avenue, the principal
thoroughfare through the cam
pus, not the most violent pro-
family could half do it justice.
The student paper, the Tar Heel,
has been imploring the faculty,
the business manager, the cam
pus committee, and the state
legislature, to lay a good sur
face here. The paving is one Of
the first projects on the next
two-year program, and it will
undoubtedly be put under way
as soon as the legislature acts
upon the institutions request
for funds.

Visiting Judges Hail Kenosha County Court
house AS Masterpiece of
Architecture.
ALL PRAISE EFFICIENCY OF BOARD
County Board Has Provided for Needs of County
In Most Efficient Manner, Is the
Unanimous Opinion.

in for laudatory remarks by both Ke-
noshans and outsiders alike.
Facing Market street between Sheri-
den road and West street, the court
house looms up like giant among
pygmies, yet its proportions soften
the effect upon the eye and give the
building tone Of grace and sim
plicity that offer additional evidence
of the foresightedness of the county
board and its engineers in selecting
the designs for the building. It's
twenty pillars majestically stand out
in front of the building like giant
sentinels, and the entire building is
in perfect harmony with the plans
for the Kenosha Civic Center, of
which this is the first project to BE
completed.
The furnishings, the equipment, and
the apportionment of Offices in the
building are all in accordance with the
most modern conceptions of court
house construction and the arrange
ments were agreed upon only after
the courthouse building engineers,
the architects, and the contractors,
had consulted with the greatest au-
thorities on the subject in the nation
today

BRUCE SOUNDS HIS
CAMPAIGN SLOGAN
"Ten Ocean Ports for Wisconsin" is
Campaign Slogan of Democratic
Candidate for Senator.

Milwaukee, Wis. - - 70 Launch,
ing his campaign for the Democratic
nomination as United States senator
for wisconsin William George Bruce
Milwaukee, declares that his slogan
will be stem ocean ports, for Wiscon-
sim, carrying the meaning that he
favors a Great Lakes to Atlantic
ocean waterway that will open up the
lake ports Of Wisconsin to foreign
trade.
II know of no project that will af-
feet the economic interests Of the
state SO much as the deep waterways
connecting the lakes with the sea-
board. 1t will bring Wisconsin 1000
miles nearer the sea and the markets
of the world" Mr.. Bruce said in a
statement issued today.
Mr.. Bruce said the project was sim
pie and endorsed by engineers Of Can
ada and the United States. He said
it meant the canalization of the St.
Lawrence river for 10 miles, but will
cause saving to the farmers of the
northwest of approximately $200,000,-
600 annually on grain alone. He rec
commended refrigerator ships to car
ry dairy products from Wisconsin to
the markets of the old world, as part
of this program.
The ten ports Mr. Bruce has in
mind for his sea connections are Ke-
nosha, Racine, Milwaukee, Port Wash
ington, Sheboygan, Manitowoc, Green
Bay, Twi Rivers, Ashland and Su-
perior.

DATE SET FOR
MOVING DAYS
Building Committee Sets
Saturday and Sunday
for Moving.
TAKE SEVERAL DAYS
All Offices in New Courthouse
viii Have Been Taken Over
BY Monday Morning.

Orders were given to County Clerk
Iva Russell by the building commit
tee of the county board of supervisors
today that Saturday and Sunday were
to be moving days to move the county
offices from the old courthouse into
the new one which was opened to the
public on Tuesday. The board stated
that the two days named had been Sc
lected because it was believed that
thereby there would be less inconven-
fence to tax payers who might desire
to see county officials. 1t is hoped
that the officials will be installed in
their new offices by Monday and that
by that time all county business may
be carried on there as usual.
In keeping with the order, County
Clerk Iva Russell was notifying the
various county officials today of the
action taken by the building commit
tee.
Some of the officials are doing their
own moving and are taking office
equipment into the new building to-
day. Judge John c. Slater was NOV
ing some of his private law library
into the offices at the courthouse this
morning.
Several of the county officials went
to the county clerk today and asked
why they could not proceed at once to
occupy the building. In these in
stances they may go ahead with the
work of moving with view of having
it completed by Monday morning.
City Takes Over Buildings.
The city has purchased the old
county buildings and will take them
over as rapidly as they are vacated.
County Clerk Iva Russell stated that
it was planned to turn over the old
courthouse to the city not later than
the first of September; the county
Jail building will also probably be
turned over to the city then as we'll
as the municipal court building.
The city is planning to use the
old courthouse temporarily as an Of
fee building, perhaps for school of
acials. The county Jail is to be trans
formed into police station; this will
require considerable remodeling and
will probably not be completed for
several months. No statement has
been made as to what use will be
made of the old municipal court
building.

CHINESE PLEAD
FOR PROTECTION

FEAR TROUBLE HERE

Indications that the Chinese tong
battles that have been cropping up
in every section Of the country dur
ing the past two days might lead into
Kenosha were given to the Kenosha
police on Tuesday night when dele
cation of Kenosha Chinese claiming
to represent the entireN Chinese popu-
lation here came to the police office
with a formal request that they be
provided with protection while the
Chinese horizon in America is colored
with flares Of gun play and murder
out assaults.
The delegation insisted that the Ke-
nosha members were absolutely out
side of any secret societies and that
they had no part in the ramifications
of either the Hip Sing or the On Leone
tongs, but that It was evident that
the vengeance Of both tongs was be-
ing heaped upon Chinese regardless
of their affiliations or non-affiliations

Every Chinese not known to the police
as members of the community will be

!, OF their presence must be given to
the questioning officer before the
Chinese will be released.
While Kenosha has heretofore been
free from any evidences of tong wars
the most recent excitement has been
, seen TO cover smaller cities in the ma
tion where there has beenn no Chinese
trouble, before. The special precau-
lions have been ordered by the police
not so much because there is any rea-
son to believe that trouble is expect
ed here as to prevent any possible
friction thai might result in trouble
later.

The finest in the West!

The finest in the West!
That was the unanimous verdict of
the thousands of Kenoshans who
took advantage of the invitation of
the Kenosha county board to be their
guests on an inspection trip through
Kenosha county's new $1,250,000
courthouse building dedicated today.
That many persons were clicked by
three o'clock this afternoon as having
come in and out of the courthouse and
jail, and they will continue to come
all through the rest of the day and
until this evening at ten o'clock when
the building will be closed until to-
morrow, when inspections will con-
tinue.
There were in the crowds jurists
from the principle cities in the mid
die west and all were unanimous in
their openly expressed praise of the
wonderful building which the county
board has built for the people, The
efficiency of the arrangement, the
precision with which all of the county
affairs have been concentrated in
this building, the foresight of the
officials in providing for every i'm
mediate need of the county for some
time to come-all these things came

Police Continue Round-Up.

New York City - > - Wide
spread precautions were being taken
today by police in nearly every city
of the east and middle west in an at
tempt to cut short new Chinese tong
war in which four Chinese have been
killed and three wounded in the last
"a hours.
Extra details. of police guarded the
Chinatowns of eight cities. More than
100 have been arrested, some being
held in connection with the murders,
and others on suspicion.
The death toll score seems to stand
four to nothing, in favor of the Hip
Sing tong men. Police here learned
that as kilograms to this effect were
sent out from New York and Boston
to Chinese leaders all over the coun-
try. On Leong tongsmen have been
murdered in New York, Chicago, Min
neapolis and Pittsburgh, one in each
city while a former Hip Sing king Of
Chinatown in st. Louis has been
wounded.
To Deport Trouble Makers.
Seventy-fve Chinese were rounded
up in Philadelphia on orders from
General Butler, fifteen being detain-
ed for further investigation. After
telephone communication with Wash
ington immigration authorities, Gem
eral Butler intimated that all Chin
ese without government credentials
would be deported.
Thirty were rounded up in Newark.
Four were suspected of being impli-
Gated in the New York killing but lat
er were held merely on charges Of
carrying revolvers. Minneapolis po-
lice were ordered to disarm all Chin
csc in anticipation of further trouble
during the national Hip Sing meeting
there next month.
More than 100 extra police patroll-
ed New York Chinatown while influ-
entail merchants sought to bring
about peace. In Boston where two
Chinese and white man were wound
ed in gunplay on the street. police
succeeded in calming the Chinese
quarters.

vention at Oshkosh, opening the CAM
paign in his own behalf in an address
delivered here, asserted Republicans
in Wisconsin were now engaged in a
finish fight with progressives to wrest
the reins of power from "a clique of
celf1centered politicians who control
the state from little back room in
Madison" and restore the Republican
party to it's rightful place in state gov
eminent. F1
In the torrid hesA Of the Lake Ge-
neva opera house, the candidate faced
an enthusiastic assembly which packed
demonstration after another as he
shot verbal broadsides into progressive
leaders who are in control of state
government. He attacked what he
termed the lavish expenditure of pub
lie money through the upkeep of an
expensive commission system in Wis
consin and taxation program that
was out Of the bonds Of reason, the
crowd roared its approval
The total disbursements of the state
have increased from $14,469,206 in
1914-1915 to $50, 623,722 in f923-1924,
Mr.. Wilcox asserted.
"At the same time" the candidate
declared, "the state treasurer busies
himself in going about the state re-
counting to the people the huge SUR
plus he has piled up in the treasury,
and ut the same time advocates con-
tinuance Of the control of the ring
which makes taxation possible, SEEM
ingly forgetting that the MONEY wh.ea
piles up in the treasury comes, in the
last analysis, from the pockets Of tie
people Why should government ia
from its citizens money which it does
not need to pay salaries to employees
which the people do not want? ~
at is idle to believe that we can
have proper representation in con-
gress and the senate unless we have
proper conditions in the state from
which these representatives Gene"
Refers to Young La Toilette.
Mr.. Wilcox referred to Robert II.
La Toilette, Jr., his opponent en- ffe
progressive Side by declaring that
successful representatives in the SEN
sire.
There is young man in this cam
paign," he said, "who desires, without
preliminary training, without any rec
ord Of accomplishment whatever, to
step into the most exalted pos ton in
the land, next to that of the president
Of the United States, merely because
Of his desire and the Madison ring
that he should be there"
The candidate paid high tribute to
President Coolidge in these words:
Tribute to Coolidge.
Owe are fortunate at this critical
time in the history of our country
that we have as our national leader a
man who thoroughly believes in and
typifes in his person and daily life
the Fundamental American principles.
Strong and firm as the granite of his
native hills, calm, patient, tolerant and
frugal, entirely lacking in display, adj
vertising or bluff, doing the days work
each day as he see it, with his heart
full Of sympathy for the poor and the
struggling on the farms, in the fac
tories and in the homes
The campaign this year, Mr.. Will
