MILlTIAMEN NOT EXEMPT

Thn-e Who Serve Isut Three Years Must
 Fay Military Taxes.
 The recent discussion in reference to the collection of military and poll taxes hus caused considerable talk among mIli- tiamen. and inquiry into the subject re- vrals tine fact that guardsmen under the present military law who serve but the regular term of enlistment will hereafter hot be exempt from paying these taxes.
 The law states among other things that men who have served five years c1nsecu lively in the militia of the state shall not be required to pay these taxes. The term Ci enlistment having been reduced to three years, It will be seen that men hon. orably discharged from the National Guard. after serving the regular term. will >tIll be required to pay both military and Isnll taxes
 One of the authors of the new military Law Was asked ii the exemption clause was not an oversight lie sall that on the other hand tLe matter hal received care fUl attention. T he idea of the committed ( hO drafted the law was to purposely leave men who only served three years un- NrmPted. thus making it an incentive to re-iulI~t.
 The object of It ducing the period of service was to protect captains of com l pInIrS from carrying men who after serv- Irg two years or so and becoming dIssatiS- | Ii, q could be honorably discharged nt the 1 rrd of turer years. But the committee 1 felt that these three year men were not entitled to exemption. thus the law in this respect was left unchanged

OIO She TRY TO DIE :?
Mrs. Schmesstinger Drank Poison
by Mistake, She Says
Left Her Husband and Lived with
a Man Who Beat Her.
A Dogs Toothache the Indirect
Cause OF Her Alleged BIunder.

Mrs. Mary Schmesstinger. thirty-tour
years old. OF az East Seventy-f,ft
street. took quantity of carbollc acid.
by mistake, she says, carly this morning,
and Is now under treatment in the Pres
bytcrian Hospital.
Mrs. Schmesstingcr's husband Is a ba
kcr For many years they lived together
and had Angelic Sorra for boarder.
Eighteen months ago the husband began
to drink. and the Sheriff sold all the
household furniture. and Mrs. schmess-
finger went to live with Sorra, the
former boa rider, in the basement Of the
Seventy-hfth street house.
The only thing the woman took with
her that formerly belonged to her hus-
band was big black dog called Rover.
To certain degree this dog IL the
cause of the mistake which has put her
In the hospital a prisoner. and very
sick.
Mrs. Schmesstinger and Sorra didn't
get along at all AS nc sat in his lonely
basement this morning. with Rover
bowling under a chair, he said: She
drank all the time. She was never
sober"
The woman In the hospital said Sorra
wandered widely from the truth
II never drank at ALL" said she. lie
beat me 80 drsadtully that l used to
stagger as | walked"
The tenants in the house say they are
both right and both wrong. According
to their version the man is a carpenter
who never does any harder work than
beat his wife. The woman. they say,
does drink, but she took In ironing and
supported herself and the man.
The troubles OF the two began ycster-
day morning, when the landlord OF the
house told them they would have to
move, az they made too much noise. They
were still discussing the cruelty OF the
landlord S edict when the dog Rover was
taken ILL., He had a toothache.
In the afternoon a barber was called
In and three of tne animals teeth were
extracted. But he howled a great deal
after that, AMI Mrs. Schmesstinger' $
nerves were shaken, so that she though.
a little beer would do her cool. s. she
drank 1t. and then ate hat water
melon.
An hour .ater she was very III. She
went into a dark closet to get some
cholera drops and picked up the bottle
Of carboiic acid, she says. by mis- AXE.
They were In the same style of bottle.
The acid burned her throat and lips
badly. and Sorra called In policeman,
ana the policeman got an ambulance.
The woman was taken to the Presby
tcrlan Hospital, and II Is though; she
vii! be all right in two or three days.
