A majority report unfavorable to
the bill as passed by the house and
IA minority report favoring it were
presented to the house tonight, and
provoked a long and spirited fight,

| termined stand in support of the bill

| tion today. The minority report was
signed by Woody and Crutchfield.

COLONY SCHEME OFF
Plan To Open Farm Colony for
Italians in Pleasant Prairie
Ends in Suit in Court
SEEK RETURN OF PROPERTY

A rosy scheme to form a farm colony
for Italians in the Town of Pleasant
Prairie started by three of the lead
ing Italians Of the city a short time
ago has been called off and the original
promoters of the deal have filed suit
in the Circuit Court to have deeds to
the property in Kenosha which they
gave in trade for the Pleasant Prairie
property, returned to them The action
was filed with the clerk Of the Circuit
Court on Friday and the plaintiffs are
Mr.. and Mrs. Nichale Molinaro, Mr..
and Mrs. Raffele Molinaro and Mr. and
Mrs. Salvador Ruffalo. The defendants
in the action are Gottlieb Schaeffer, the
we'll known Kenosha contractor, and
his wife. Schaeffer formerly owned a
farm of about hundred acres in the
Town of Pleasant Prairie and he trad
ed this farm to the three Italians for
the colony. In the deal the Italians
transferred to Schaeffer three pieces of
residence property in Kenosha and he
gave them small cash balance on the
trade. 1t is said that elaborate plans
had been made for the building up Of
the farm colony and after the deeds
were passed on Jan. Is, the Italians
made many trips to the Pleasant Prai-
RE farm and had made arrangements
for the erection of number of houses
In the complaint made against Schaef-
fer the Italians claim that he put a
fictitious value on the property at the
time of the sale and relied on the
trusting nature'' of the Italians to
consummate the deal. Baker and Clark
son represent the plaintiffs in the ac-
| ton and Randall and Drury the defen-
dants. It is declared by the defen-
dants that the deal was open and
above board in every way and that the
only trouble with it was that the
Italians got out of the notion Of going
back to the farm.

BLOOM HELD FOR TRIAL
Boy Burglar Will Plead Guilty to
Charges Of Burglary

Stanley Bloom, arrested on Wednes-
day night on charge Of burglarizing
seven stores in the city, was arraigned
before Justice McCarron on Thursday
afternoon on a charge Of burglarizing
the store of the Kenosha Hardware
Company and he waived the prelimi-
nary examination on the charge and
was held to the Circuit Court for trial
His bail was fixed at $1,000. Bloom
was taken back to jail and made no
effort to furnish bond. He told the
officials that he committed the burg
larry with which he was charged and
that he will plead guilty in court, but
as yet he has made no formal appi-
cation to make such plea. AS Bloom
is not charged with entering the other
stores in this complaint he could be
held on other charges should he pos
sibly escape punishment and even if he
should go to prison the other charges
would be hanging over him. Should he
serve the maximum penalty for all of
the charges he would spend the rest of
his life in prison.

Bill! Following Lines Proposed BY
Senator LaFollette Is Now
Before the Legislature
PROVIDES MANY EXEMPTIONS
Law Puts a Premium on Large Fami-
lies by Allowing an Exemp-
ton of 5000 for Each
Child in the Family

The income tax measure upon which
the LaFollette people will make their
stand before the legislature, was pre-
sented in the assembly Wednesday
night by Assemblyman Ingram Of Du-
rand. The bill is an acknowledged La
Toilette measure, and was drafted by
Assemblyman Ingram with the assis-
lance Of former Speaker Ekern and
several Of the LaFollette senators, in
GLIDING Senator Owen.
In the first place, the bill substitutes
an income tax for all other forms of
personal property, and makes exempt
from taxation all personal property,
the income tax being in lieu Of per-
sonal property tax.
The measure is to become effective
Jan. l, 1910. In estimating incomes,
the average income for three years on
evidences Of Indebtedness, business
be considered the basis for the tax de-
auctions. Losses not covered by in
surance are to be deducted from the
income. All persons having an income
ever $500 a. year are compelled, before
March l, 1909, to make return of
their income of all character from all
sources to the state, the matter and
form of this return to be fixed by the
Tax Commission. All persons acting
in trust capacity, are also compelled
to make such returns on behalf Of the
benefciaries of the trusts. On these
incomes thus returned, taxes are to be
assessed at the following graduated

MURDER TRIAL NEXT MONTH
John Bradley to Face Jury on Charge
Of Killing Clifford Smith

There will be one case to relieve the
monotony of the March term of the
Circuit Court and that will be the trial
of John Bradley, which will probably
be one Of the first cases on the calen-
dar. Bradley was charged with the
killing of Clifford Smith at Berryville
more than two years ago and his trial
will be the first trial for murder in the
Circuit Court since the trial of Dan
Avery, who was charged with killing
his negro sweetheart during street
carnival. It is thought that Bradley
will make hard fight for his liberty
but it is said that District Attorney
Baker has been able to uncover a~large
amount of. evidence in the case and that
he will be able to present a strong
case against the accused man. Bradley
has been in Jail for several months hav-

left home that she was coming to Ke-
