mo STATE TAX
FOR NEW CAPITAL
ANNUALLY AUTHORIZED SUM or
$3.50, 900 TRANSFERRED FROM
GENERAL FUND.
ACTION TAKEN BY GOVERNOR,
SECRETARY OF STATE
AND TREASURER.
Madison, Oct. 16.

Madison, Oct. 16.
There will be no tax collected from
the general property of the state this
year on account of the building of the
new capitol. This was determined
yesterday by Governor Davidson, Sec
rotary of State Frear and State Treas
urer Dahl, comprising the board
which makes the formal levy of the
state tax. 1t was decided that the
condition of the general fund, in com
parison with the prospective receipts
and expenditures of the state for the
next year, was such as to warrant the
remission of the tax authorized by
the legislature for the purpose of
building the capitol. This means that
$450,000 will be transferred from the
general fund and placed in the CAPT.
toll building fund, instead of state
tax of $450000 being collected for the
building. The action of the board is
set forth in a resolution as follows:
Whereas, 1t appears that on the
first day of October, 1908, there was
in the general fund balance of
$1,563,457,
And whereas, 1t is estimated that
there will be balance in said general
fund on January 1st, 1909, of $S13,457,
And whereas, 1t is estimated that
the receipts to said general fund dur
ing 1909 will be $5,301,O7O,
and whereas, It is estimated that
n -f.r -
for the year 1909, will be $5,S01, 775,
And whereas, The state tax to be
levied for the ensuing year for capt
tol building amounts to $450,000,
And whereas, Said sum of $45O,000
can, without detriment to the public
service, be used from the general fund
without the levy of state tax for
such purpose.
Now therefore, Be it resolved that
we, the undersigned, Governor, Sec
rotary of state and State Treasurr, in
pursuance of section 1069a of the Wis
consin statutes of 1885, do hereby ap-
ply from the surplus in the general
fund the sum of $45O,000 for capitol
building purposes.
And that no state tax be levied
for the above purpose for the ensuing
year.
'SIn witness whereof. We have here
unto set our hands and caused the
great seal of the state of Wisconsin
to be affixed
Done at the capitol, in the city of
Madison, this 18th day of October, A.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH.
Peshtigo Logger Buried Beneath Ava
Ianche of Logs.


Marinette, Wis, Oct. 16.--Reg
Brouette, a Peshtigo man, had mirac-
ulous escape from death. He was
working on logging landing when
the logs started to roll. His heel be-
came caught and he was unable to
move. Twenty fellow workmen saw
the logs moving toward him without
being able to render the slightest as
sistance. The logs struck Brouette,
knocking him down and ten of them,
or over 1000 feet, rolled right over
his PROSTATE body. 1t was expected
that his crushed and mangled body
would be found, but instead, Brouette
had been buried in the soft ground
and mud and had escaped almost I'M
injured. The logs we're rolling toward
the river at the time.

Claims Policemen Abusive.
George r. Bond, a machinist of Min
neapolis, who was the next witness
called, said that the evening he ar
rived in town he was intimidated by a
policeman in uniform, who wore a
numbered badge. He testified that he
had asked this officer, who was at the
union station, the direction to the
shops He said the officer became
close to being abusive, and warned
Bond. that If he came outside of the
company's property that he was liable
to get killed. Bond said the police
man asked him II he had any money,
and he said that II he did not have he
would rum Bond in for vagrancy
Bond said the policeman's attitude and
conversation indicated that Bonds
presence was repulsive to the officer.
Bond said that three times last week
he had been called vile names as he
was going to and from the shops by
men whom he presumed were strikers.
Elliott Tells Experiences.
Stanley Elliott, a machinist, said he

The taking of evidence before United
States Commissioner H. w. Gleason,
on the application of the Iowa Central
for an injunction against it's striking
sa last Friday, and which was ordered
transferred to this city, was resumed
in the east court room this morning.
Up to noon, when adjournment was
taken for lunch, four witnesses had
been examined. There is no telling
how long the hearing may continue, as
1t may take several days to gather all
of the evidence that is desired.
From all appearances this morning
the hearing is attracting little attention
from the strikers. 1t is possible that
they did not know to what time the
hearing had adjourned, which may ac-
count for none Of them being present
when the hearing was begun.
The attorneys for the Iowa Central
is George w. Sewers, the roads gem
eral counsel, from Minneapolis, who is
aided in his work by S. ]. Beardsley,
the general claims agent of the COM
pany. On behalf OF the strikers there
were present T. F. Bradford and Frank
E. Northup. the latter conducting the
examination.
Four Witnesses Examined.
The four witnesses who were on the
stand this morning were Charles Ty-
ner manager for Peterson & Fell, the
commissary firm that has been feeding
the non-union laborers, George r.
Bond and Stanley Elliott, non union
machinists, and John Sundberg. force
man Of the company's boiler shop.
Practically all of the evidence given
by the witnesses related to conditions
in and around the shops and in the
city, during the strike and relative to
1t.
Tyner Said Men Were Afraid.
Tyner said, as did other witnesses,
that the non-union laborers in the
shop were afraid to go outside OF the
company's property limits He told OF
his knowledge of the assault on Thorn
as Kane, waiter in the shop dining
room, but he had no personal knowl-
edge of the assault, further than the
appearance OF Kane afterwards. Tyner
said he was stopped once, and an un-
cessful assault was attempted the Sec
