Illness.
(From Saturdays Daily.)

Owen O'Donnell died at $50 o'clock

engineers. In this company he served
for his term of three years and at the
close of the war was again discharged.
The words of his captain as to his
character were: "He was good Sol-
dier". In 1868 he came to Wisconsin
and in the fall of that year was married
to Miss Mary Donaghey of North Free
dom. They then settled on a farm
near that little city. He continued
working on the farm until Is years
ago, when he came to Baraboo, where
he has since resided. For several years
he was employed as weaver at the
linen mills. He was a member of the
G.. A. r. and the Knights of Columbus.
His only living relative is his grand.
niece, Miss Agnes Dolan, who came
here from England two years ago and
has since resided with Mr.. O'Donnell.
All who knew him pronounced him
an honest, strictly upright man and he
leaves many friends.

4 DON'T KNOW,
TO NO LONGER GO
Witnesses Are in CONTEMPT of
Court Who Persistently Re-
fuse to Answer

New York, March 9-That a judge
may summarily punish a witness who
answers Il don't remember" to most
of the questions that are asked him
and commit him to Jail for contempt
of court, instead of holding him for
a jury trial on a charge of perjury was
the decision of the United States cir
cult court of appeals today in an opin-
ion written by Judge Coke. Lawyers
say the ruling is one of the most i'm
portant decisions in the interest Of
creditors of bankrupts since the en-
actment of the bankruptcy law.
The decision was rendered In the
case of Schulman & Goldstein, bank
rupts. Schulman was called upon to
testify before referee to explain ap-
parent shrinkage in his assets.
Schulmans' refusal to make an ex-
planation aroused the Merchants
Protective association, whose counsel
made a certificate to the effect that he
was committing perjury. Judge Holt
ordered his arrest and committed him
to Jail for six months for contempt
of court. Judge Coxe's opinion of to-
day, concurred in by Judges Lacombe
and Noyes( holds that the commitment
was proper.

Shooting up of Thoroughfare
by Strike Breakers the
Cause
LABOR LEADERS DECLARE ACTION
Was RESULT OF DESPERATION
Strike Breakers Enable to Arouse ANY
Trouble, Took This Method of Start.
ing 1t So as to Have Excuse for
Remaining-May be Growing

Philadelphia, March 9.-Despite the
excitement created last night by the
shooting up" of one of the principal
thoroughfares by trolly car load of
alleged trike-breakers from st. Louis.
there were no serious demonstrations
against trolly cars in operation early
today.
c. o. Pratt, the organizer of the
carmen, denounced the affair which
occurred in Frankford avenue and re-
suited in three men and 14-year.old
girl being taken to the hospital suffer-
ing from bullet wounds received when
the trolly men fired from the swiftly
moving car into the crowd. He said
it was usually the last resort of des-
perate strike-breakers, who finding
everything quiet, shoot up the town
to incite trouble. The victims of the
bullets are not seriously hurt.
Although many lines were running
today without any sign of trouble,
much apprehension was felt as the
outcome of the feeling stirred up by
last nights attack. TIL police are try
ing to fix the blame for the reckless
gun play. 1t is alleged that the strike
breakers, on learning that one of their
number had been injured by q stone
thrown while he was operating a car,
decided to get revenge and took out
the trolly without permission of the
company. Running down Frankford
avenue they shot into every crowd
they saw and quickly returned to the
barns by the cross-over switch.
Notwithstanding Director Of Public
Safety Clay declares that the general
strike feeling is on the wane, the
labor leaders declare that they are
steadily gaining ground. Many meet
ings of unorganized workers are be-
ing addressed by prominent labor or
ganizers each day and night. The
strike leaders today said they had no
reason to change their estimates that
between 125,000 and 10000 persons
are idle as the resul. of the calling
Of the general strike. Director of
Public Safety Clay sticks to his state
ment that less than 10000 responded
to the strike call.

Scandal in the Management of
appropriated Catholic
Property in France
L|QU|oAT0R CONFESSED TO
HAV|AG STOLEN 100000
Exposure Will Have Tremendous Ell.
fec. Upon the Elections in Which
the Catholics Have Prepared to
Take Active Part

Paris, March 9.-The arrest of NJ.
Duez following his confession that he
had misappropriated something like
$l,OO0OO0 of the funds derived from
the sale of church property for which
he was liquidator, has created q great
sensation. lntimations are freely
made that other liquidators in the
employ of the government are similar
ly involved. The Republican press
find no words of excuse for the dis
graced officials and lays much of the
responsibility for the condition of
affairs upon the immense amount of
work assigned to q single liquidator.
At the same time these papers accord
the government unstinted praise for
its courage in exposing the scandal
on the eve of the general elections,
when the affair is sure to become q
powerful weapon in the hands of the
Catholic adversaries, who for months
have been organizing genuine poll
tical campaign.
The Catholic and Royalist oppose
ttion press generally manifest high
glee over the exposure, which they
declare confirms the suspicious long
entertained that the property of the
cnurcheS, mOnasteries and converts
appropriated by the state. instead of
furnishing $2O0,O0O,O0O for old age
pensions and other social reforms, as
the proletariat had been taught to
believe at the time separation of the
church and state was voted, had dis
appeared into the pockets of trieving
politicians. Besides the admitted
shortage, Duez is charged with having
pocketed rake offs for aiding the gen.
ealogist who acted as his accomplice.
The genealogist sought out the heirs
to the funds which had been left to
the congregations, many of whom
were living at distant points and
ignorant of the fact that they were
entitled to recover anything. From
such persons he obtained contracts,
it is alleged, through which the heirs
relinquished to the genalogist for his
services" fifty per cent Of what was
due.

It WILL BROOK \.
NO OPPOSITION
Idaho Senator Takes q Pro
nounced Stand on Govern
ment Forest Reserves

Washington, March 9.-Hereafter
Idaho will brook no opposition from
the forestry service of the United
States on state school sections with
in the forest reservations Of that
state. Senator Hepburn made an
nouncement to this effect while the
agricultural appropriation bill was
under discussion in the senate today.
Mr.. Smoot raised the contention that
the national authority was supreme It
tn" land had not been surveyed. He
said that even when the forestry serv-
ice had cut timber on the unsurveyed
sections it had turned over to. the
state twenty-five per cent of the pro-
ceeds.
THAT" responded Mr.. Hepburn,
Sounds like chapter from the life
of Dick Turpin, who, when he found
his victims stranded by his depreda-
tions would give them enough of their
own money to buy their breakfasts"
He then went on to say that the re-
cent administration of the forest res
ervations had been utterly regardless
Of law,
<AuV l0t u Uc uuW0IotVOOS uN
thundsted. "that from this time on
Idaho proposes to administer Its own
lands. The authorities have been in
structed Of their competency in this
respect, and they will protect their
interests. II they are disturbed by
the foresters they will invoke the aid
of the state constabulary."
How are you going to locate your
lands If they are not surveyed?" ques-
toned Mr.. Burkett.
Land is always put You don't
have to locate land" he retorted.
God located 1t before the food"
Mr.. Hepburn charged the foresters
with accepting bounty money from
the states for the killing Of predatory
wild animals, Notwithstanding they
are receiving money from the nations
al government for this among other
duties.
The Idaho senator went into detail
in describing instances in which set
tiers had been evicted from their
homes within the reserves for no 9TH
er reason, he said, than that the for
esters wanted the use of their i'm
provements. In reply to Mr.. Shively
he said these proceedings were abso-
lutely arbitrary and without any sane
ton Of legal regularity.
F! In this latter statement, Mr.. Hey
burn was corroborated by his col
league, Mr.. Borah, who said the for
estry officials constitute themselves
Judge, jury and prosecuting attorney
in these proceedings. "disregardine
almost every law for the protection OF
men which has been adopted by civil
lied society" ~
No explanation or excuse was ever
given to the victim of these arbitrary
proceedings, he said.

CORPORATION
TAX AssA|LED
Vigorous Fight on, Constitu.
tionality Being Made in the
Supreme Court

Washington, March 9.-The attack
on the constitutionality of the cor
poratfon tax loomed into prominence
today when brief after brief in oppo-
sition to the law was filed in the su-
preme court Of the United States.
Final argument Of the cases involving
the question is set for next week.
Prominent among these was the brief
of former Senator Joseph B. Foraker
of Ohio, solicitor for Louis w. Jared,
stockholder in the American Multi
graph company of Cleveland, Ohio,
who seeks to have the company en-
Joined from paying the tax on the
ground that it is unconstitutional.
Among several other briefs filed was
one for Oscar Mitchell against the
Clark Iron company of Minnesota.
Senator Foraker says the "indefin-
iteness of the language employed" in
the corporation tax act make it diff
flcult to ascertain just what the tax
is. The debate in the senate over the
provisions, he suggests, warrants the
claim that the Ambiguous character
Of the provision" is due to an effort
to bring it within the courts jurisdic-
taxed must be one of these:
1. The business carried on by the
corporation to be taxed.
2. The entire net income from all
sources.
8. The corporation itself.
4. The franchise to be a corpora
tion.
S. The privilege or facility afford
ed by the incorporation to transact
the business conducted by the cor
poration.
He claims a studied attempt was
made to avoid using language that
would indicate that it is the business,
as such, that is taxed.
An emphatic attack is made on the
publicity features of the provisions.
"The provision is not only in VIOLA
ton of the guarantee against u4-
reasonable search and SEIZURE" says
the senator, "but it is also in VIOLA
tion of all that sense Of justice, and
all that spirit of liberty and freedom
Of action which our institutions are
supposed to secure to our citizens.

CHILDREN SHOW
LITTLE INTEREST
Tell of Plans to Murder With.
out ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Laughs

Rugby. N. D., March 9.-Telling a
story which may send their mother
and brother to the gallows or the pen
itentiary for life. Oscar Moline, aged
IL, Leonard Moline. aged Is, and Jen-
ME Moline. aged IA. appear to be no
more concerned than if they were
telling of their own innocent play.
This morning the last of the children
was examined on the witness stand,
completing two days in which they
told startling stories of the supposed
plotting of their mother and brother
against the life of their father, Frank
Moline.
All yesterday afternoon, while the
children were testifying against him,
Charles Moline sat directly behind his
attorneys, with his face resting in
his hands, laughing. He appears to
have no idea of the enormity of the
crime of which he is charged.
One of the children, in testifying
this morning, told of a conversation
that Mrs. Moline had with her son,
Charles Moline, the day after Christ
mas. On that occasion, Mrs. Moline
said to Charles: Don't use a gun.
That will leave a mark. Use poison
or necktie."
Claim Not Poisoned.
AS a result of evidence introduced
this morning with DR.. Derby of Min
neapolis on the stand, the defense
will raise the claim that Frank Mo-
line was not killed with poison, but
that he died of heart rupture. DR..
Derby said that only .02S of a grain
of strychnine was found in the dead
mans stomach, which is only one
fourth of regular dose.
For the state, DR.. Newlove of Minot
and DR.. Thyng of Willow City, will
testify this afternoon and tomorrow.
They are expected to tell the cause
Of death. Should they claim that
strychnine was the cause, there will
be long seige Of cross questioning.
For the defense. DR.. Collinson of
Rugby and DR.. C. o. Anderson of Will
low City will testify. First they will
tell Of the cause of death, and they
will also be questioned as to Moline's
sanity.
Children Peculiar.
The children who have been ex-
amined, are most peculiar. While
telling their terrible stories. they
showed no emotion whatsoever. To
them it would seem that the story of
their fathers death was no more i'm
portant than the story Of the death of
some dumb animal would appear.

CAM0RRA GRIPS ITALY,
VICE AND CRIME-POLICE
ARE POWERLESs.

Naples, March 9.-The historian
Signor Pasquale Villari contributes an
article to the Nuova Antologia about
the resanitation of Naples, in which
he examines the different causes that
hinder the moral regeneration of the
inhabitants and the industrial devel-
opment of the city. He explains at
length the mistaken policy adopted
consisting in demolishing old houses
and building new ones, which result
ed in the increase of house rents and
in the consequent overcrowding Of
the slums.
After suggesting the proper reme-
dies for the solution of the housing
problem. he concludes by giving some
interesting particulars about the Ca
mora. the scourge that in half GEN.
tury the Italian government has not
succeeded in eXtirpating. Signor Viii
lari contrasts the fact that whereas
under the Bourbon government the
Camorra was something mysterious
which existed only in prisons, where
no doubt it originated and flourished
and people referred to it in whispers,
at present it has extended to all
classes of society and it is topic Of
public conversation.
Fosters Crime Of Every Kind.
Evidently the original character of
the Camorra has been altered and the
institution has become akin to Sc
cret mercantile undertaking, with the
sole object of making money at all
costs, even if crime has to be resort
ed to. The Camorra now fosters
usury. clandestine lotteries, and illeg-
al pawnbrOking.
1t protects vice, organizes burgla-
ries, and actively participates in ad-
ministrative and political elections.
The power of the Camorra increases
daily. The police resort to the Ca
mora to detect crimes, and private
citizens seek its aid to recover stolen
property. A chauffeur ran over and
killed a lady and sought safety in
fight.
"The police will never catch him."
