The Adjutant Generals Department

partment at Washington that the ma
neuvers of the regular army of the
Department of the Lakes and the mill
tia of those States, including Wiscon-
sin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio
and Kentucky, will be held in Septem-

acres and was originally purchased by
the government for artillery practice.
During the maneuvers from 10000 to
10000 troops will be on the range and
as many as 5000 or 5000 at one time.
There is an appropriation bill pending
before Congress for the extension OF
the range for rifle practice and the
progress of the bill is being followed
with much interest in Wisconsin as
possibly affecting the use to be made
by the government of the range at

Aged Man Can't Tell SIS Bill from

Gabriel Zingsheim, for whom petit
ton was recently filed to have him
placed under guardianship, was sub
mitted to an unusual test in county
court in Waukesha to show that he
could not distinguish the denomina-
tion of money. The aged man was
unable to distinguish $40 bill from
SIS bill. The Zingsheim family is di-
vided in their opinion as to thsir
fathers incompetency. Ten of his
eleven children allege that he is incom-
petent to handle his financial matters.
AS a contract has been made for the
sale of his farm for $4,000 they desire
a guardian appointed for him before
the money is paid. The other son,
George, with whom the aged man re-
sides, claims his father is competent
and is fighting the petition.

Heirs of George BuIIen, Ex-Chica-

An effort on the part of George
Bullen, the Chicago millionaire, to
avoid the payment of 100000 in
heritance tax to the State of Wiscon-
sin, is in progress in Juneau in the
form of an appeal to Judge Lueck OF
the Circuit Court from the Waukesha
County Court. Mr.. Bullen owned a
summer home at Oconomowoc, and
the inheritance tax is assessed against
this property on the ground that it
was his real residence. The estate
contends that before his death prac-
tically all of his property was placed
in trust in Chicago for his family, the
result being that, technically, Mr.. Bull
len was penniless for months before
his death. The authorities claim this
was an evasion of the inheritance tax.
