TAGGERS DELAY COURT.
Charity Workers Invade Sanctum of
Justice at Appleton and Escape
Contempt Charges.

APPLETON, Wis, Dec. 24.-[Spe-
cial Court machinery seldom stops for
outside interference, but it remained for
two ladies in the tagging business here
last Monday to divert the attention Of
the judge, dumbfound the attorneys in
a larceny case and amaze the crowded
courtroom by invading the sanctum Of
justice and selling charity tags TO every
one willing to part with the maximum
price of 10 cents. Ordinarily contempt
charges would have been in order, but all
saw the situation in a jocular light, pur-
chased tags and courteously dismissed
the fair taggers.

OLD CASE IS SETTLED.
Election Controversy Between Judge
Arnin and F. J. Clasen Dropped by
Mutual Agreement.

WAUKESHA, Wis, Dec. 2S.-[Spe-
cial 1.-The famous election contest of
Frederick J. Clasen against @. e. Arnlin
has been settled, a stipulation having
been filed in circuit court today discon.
tinuing the suit without costs to either
party. The stipulation also provides
that all the pleadings of both parties
be permanently withdrawn from the files
of the court. At the spring election in
1907 Mr.. Armin was elected municipal
judge for the eastern municipal district
over Mr.. Clasen, by eighteen votes. Cha.
sen contested the election, alleging fraud
and claiming, among other things, that a
large number of Italians voted illegally
in the town of Pewaukee. The case has
since been pending in the courts and five
or six different circuit judges have fig.
ured in the proceedings.

A MANY Faced Element.

Any one who has Experimental with
melted sulphur knows that at certain
temperature (between 160 degrees and
800 degrees Centrigrade) it assumes the
form of thick, browG, ropy liquid, as
low fluid which it first melts. This is
explained by chemists by saying that
sulphur is ''allotropic,'' that is, it may
assume different forms under different
conditions. Recent experiments in Ger
ma1s show that sulphur exists in no less
t'f;lu four of these different forms. each
of which is its normal condition through

SOUTH SIDE BOY WITH NEW RIFLE
SHOOTS BROTHER AND LAT
TER rs DEAD.
SUFFERS HYSTERIA IN CELL.
Tragic Accident During Celebration
Leaves Mother in Serious Condition
and Beyond Consolation.
FATHER COMES AFTER THE END.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Dec. &c, 1908
Unable to withstand the temptation of
trying a 22-caliber rifle which he had
himself purchased as a Christmas pres
ent, Charles Johnson, aged II years, took
aim at door knob on a shed IN The rear
of his home, fired, and fatally wounded his
15-year-old brother Walter, who was in
side the shed. The little boy died at the
Emergency hospital a few hours later
while the brother, in a paroxysm of an
guish, cried himself into a state of hys-
terra at the south side police station.
Father at Bedside Too Late.
The fatal accident happened at the
home of William Johnson, a structural
steel worker, at 40 Washington street
The father of the dead boy and four
other children was in Green Bay over
Christmas. A telegram from the strick'
en- mother brought him to Milwaukee on
an afternoon train which arrived short
time after the boy Walter died at the
public hospital.
Walter johnson, the victim of the rifle
bullet, was a delivery clerk in the employ
of K. II. Mueller, a meat dealer at
Grove and Washington streets. He with
his brothers had risen early Christmas
morning to admire his gifts, and shortly
after s O'clock had gone to a small shed
back of the house. While he was inside
and unknown to Charles, the latter went
to the back porch with his new rifle.
Disobeyed Mothers Command.
His mother had warned him against
firing the rife until he could go to the
open country south of the city; but the
the door-knOb, he fired. A cry came
from the shed, the door opened and little
Walter, blood streaming from his tenn
pie, staggered out and fell unconscious
Charles, terror stricken, ran to his broth
ers side but received no answer to his
questions. Then he ran to his mother
and the latter carried the limp form
into the house and brought DIR. A. Il. j.,
GrOb to the scene. The child was take
to the Emergency hospital, where he died
at $40 o'clock in the afternoon without
regaining consciousness The body was
taken back to the home of mourning late
in the afternoon and will be buried on
Tuesday.
Brother Held by Police.
Soon after the accidental shooting, the
police arrested Charles and took him to
the south side station. He was released
last night. The boy was grief-stricken
and thought not of his own dilemma but
of his brothers welfare and all day long
asked for news of the patient. When
word finally reached him that Walter
had passed away, his grief knew no
bounds and he became hysterical.
Returns to Mothers Side.
All the facts pointing to the truth of
young Johnson's assurance that the
shooting was entirely accidental, the pc.
lice released him from the south side
station Friday night and he returned to
his mother and father in the Washing.
ton street home. The boy promised to
be present at the coroner's inquest late
this afternoon.

Brussels, Dec. 21-Throngs are ar irving from all parts of Belgium and points outside to attend the funeral of the late King Leopold and the acces- sion of Prince Albert to the throne.

commands are concerned. Such a sys- tenn cannot but be detrimental to the efficiency of our coast defense ln time of war.
 The remedy suggested by the cnief of coast artillery is very simple, and can be easily applied at once. He rec ommends that a war department order be issued creating and organizing three coast artillery departments; that coast artillery colonels be given command of these departments. This is the simple remedy which can be applied at once, without congressional action, by sim pie order from the president. and in vieW of the results to be accomplished is certainly worthy of serious consid- eration. The present ranking colonels of coast artillery are all officers Of longer service than any of the pres- ent commanders of the military de- partments in which these proposed located, consequently there would be no anomaly in giving them such re- sponsible commands, especially since practically all their service has been in the coast artillery.
 It is confidently believed that the system will recommend itself once 1t Is fairly in working order, just as the or ganization of the artillery into corps and the separation of the field artillery
 
 measures the artillery officers them selves worked for years to effect, have recommended themselves to the au- thorities and the country. The recent phenomenal progress in all branches of our artillery has been largely due to these great steps in improving its or ganization and the step now proposed will be even more important in it's re- suits, particularly in time of actual war, the true test of all things mili- tary.
 The above is, however, only part of the system recommended by the chiee of coast artillery, merely the Initial step. He recommends further that the necessary steps be taken by the war department to have suitable bill pre- scented to congress to create a separate coast artillery division and authoriz- ing the appointment of coast artillery general officers to command the three coast artillery departments, as well as one to command the entire coast artil- lery. In fact, the appointment of col onels to command the departments is to be merely temporary in order to, start the system, but these officers are ultimately to have the rank of briga- dier general, as soon as a proper bili can be prepared and acted on by con- gress.
