DISEASE CLAIMS FOUR.
Pneumonia Epidemic Among Mar
b1ehead Quarry Workers.

Four children are dead and several
are seriously ill as a result of an cpl
demic of pneumonia in the town of Mar
blehead. The dead are three children
of John Sass and one child of John
Bartle. A local undertaken who has
had charge of several of the funerals
states that in his opinion the disease was
caused by lack of clothing. Many of
the residents in Marblehead are ltal-
ians employed in the stone quarries, and
although they get good wages, it is said,
they do not pay much attention to their
children. In the summer, it is alleged,
the children are allowed to run about
without practically any clothing and III
the winter are poorly clad Several ply
sicians who have been called to Marble
head say that the disease has taken the
form of an epidemic and that there are
about ten cases at the present time.

forty-three against to forty-two for it.
The La Toilette men made a strong eff
fort to save the measure, and when the

to clinch it's victory, threats were made
that call of the House would be order
ed and an all-night session held. The

The Assembly committee on taxation
Thursday took action to help the State
treasury by introducing a bill requiring
railroads in Wisconsin to pay the taxes
due under the ad valorem act and guar
anteeing that in case the law is declar-
ed unconstitutional the State will refund
the money. The larger railroads have
refused to pay more than the old license
tax of per cent ON gross earnings, and
by claiming that the ad valorem act is
unconstitutional have tied up over ST.,
100000 due the State. A joint resolu-
ton was presented for a committee to
investigate the contributions of railroads
and insurance companies to State cam
paign funds.
