Madison. Dec. 80.

Madison, Dec. 80.
A writ of error was issued yester-
day by Clerk Clarence Kellogg of the
state supreme court according to
which Albert Ullmann, convicted of
having shot and attempted to murder
his daughter Will be allowed to have
the court examine into his case and
trial with a view to ascertaining
whether or not he is properly under
conviction.
Ullmann's attorney, c. E. Malone Of
Juneau, filed petition for writ, citing
several alleged errors in the trial.
Ullmann was charged with having
made an assault upon his daughter,
Ida Ullmann, the weapon being a re-
volver and the intention of the father
being to commit murder upon the wo-
man. The assault did not cause the
death of the daughter as is alleged to
have been intended. The petitioner
claims that the trial court, Judge J. ].
Dick Cf the Circuit for Dodge county,
erred in the manner of making up the
lists for the jurors and in the selec-
llOu u luG JuAblSs Nudl tuClG was CT
ror in the admission of the testimony
of DR.. Clasen as TO the direction in
which the bullet came when it struck
the woman. That there was error in
admitting the testimony of Emil Roes-
Ter, Herman Creep, Mr.. Rumble, ST.,

Hathaway. Mr.. Lewis, August Burk-
holtz, Thomas Mccullough, Thomas
Pluck, to establish or attempt to es-
tablish that the defendant had tam
pered with the daughter to get her to
leave the state and fail to be present
and testify against him. This testi-
mony was afterwards stricken out on
motion but the defendant alleges that
it must necessarily have injured his
chances with the jury. Errors are al
so alleged in the charge to the jury.
The date of the shooting was August
8. 1908.

An Evil in Food the Law Should
Reach.

nCdIHs
In reference to the use of alum bak-
ing powders Prof. Schweitzer, of the
State University of Missouri, says:
THE deleterious effects of alum and
human system, even when used in
small quantities, are too well known to
need relating; their use in baking pow
der is dangerous, and should be re-
stricted."
The effects of the continuous use Of
alum baking powders are thus summed
up in a medical publication
"Alum taken into the stomach re-
tards the digestion of the food.
ut is an irritant which inflames and
irritates the stomach and intestinal
canal.
cit is an astringent and tends to con-
stipate the bowels, which interferes
with digestion.
at renders the albumen of the food
partially insGluble, and therefore takes
away from its nutritive value.
SIT is absorbed into the blood, which
IL tends to thicken and cOagulate. The
free flow of the blood through the or
cans of the heart is thus retarded.
'Tts continued absorption into the
system causes some forms of nervous
prostrations and many of those affec-
tons of the nerves from which both
women and men suffer.
Fourteen grains of alum have
caused the death of a child. Larger
doses have frequently resulted fatally
in the case of adults.

matter in what proportions it may be
employed, can safely be used in any
article of food"

In many cases the extent Of idleness be-

labor disputes are In progress, and steel
producers look for much new business
early next month. Engagements Of
gold were checked by sharp recovery
In foreign exchange, although receipts
have raised treasury gold holdings far
above all previous records, and money
is unusually easy for the season. Owing
to the decrease in speculation, bank ex-

a gain Of five per cent
Leading interests In the iron and

any further reductions In quotations.
and there are numerous indications that
prospective purchasers do not intend
to delay placing contracts beyond the
season of inventories and repairs. Ex-
