Not Enough Expenses


 While the state tax commission turns back, into the state treasury about 50 per contum of the appropriation which Is allowed that department by act of legis- lature. the commissioners find that not enough money is appropriated for them to hold down their office expenses. The condition is brought about by division of the funds which is allowed the depart ment the legislature having arbitrarily set aside certain amount for 'cer- tain division.''
 For instance, the department is annual
 y allowed an appropriation of s25,0Oo, of which amount it is specified, only $lOOO car be used for office expenses, which in cludes printing, stamps, equipment and so forth. Every year the stamp bill. alone, runs to about $500, leaving only about s40O with which to have reports printed and with which to print equip ment Because of this situation an in- teresting table. which has just been pre- pared by w. R. Lloyd, chief clerk in the office, cannot be printed because of lack of funds It is considered probable that a redivision of the appropriation Will be allowed by the 1911 legislature.

Gunter vs. Thomas

Should Judge W. H. Thomas of the city court of Montgomery win out In his contention in the circuit court that he is entitled to office for another two years owing to unconstitutionality of the legis- lative act under which former Mayor Gsston Gunter, of this city, was elected to the judgeship at the recent spring pri- mary. other judges of the state who were appointed to fill out unexpired vacancies will also havee their term of office ex- tended. It is generally believed that the act is invalid in that the caption of the article does not thoroughly include the subject matter
 When Judge Thomas was elevated from the criminal court of Montgomery to suc- ceed Judge A. D. Sayre, promoted to the supreme court of Alabama, the unexpired term of office to which he thought him self appointed would have ended about 1913. By virtue of the recent act, how4 ever, it was thought that the recent cleo tion would provide for election of suc- cessor in such instances. which would be the case but for the alleged sunconstitu- tionality of the act.

ONAWA MURDER AND SUICIDE
John Kratz Kills Mrs. Agnes Mccoy
and Himself Tuesday Night.
WOMAN REFUSED ATTENTIONS
Called at Her Home Late at Night
and Wrested Revolver from Her,
with which She Tried 40

ONAWA, Ia, July 13.-(Special Telegram)
"A double shooting affair last night about
II 80 resulted in the death of John Kratz
and Mrs Agnes Mccoy. Mrs. Kratz, who
year ago was divorced, has been living
with her little daughter in the Skidmore
property. Kratz is a drayman and had
become infatuated with Mrs. Mccoy, and
it was because of her resentment of his
attentions that he took her llfe then his
own.
Kratz went to Mrs. McCoy's home last
night at about 1850 and seeking entrance
she sent bullet through the door. She
then opened the door. and found Kratz on
the porch and was surprised to find that
1t was he who had been seeking entrance e.
She admpnislIeds4 A az ia move on, where.
upon he 'snatched the. gun from her and
threw 1t into q neighbors yard. Mrs
Kratz recovered the revolver and entered
her home. Kratz again wrested the CUR
from her and turning it upon her sent
bullet into her right shoulder blade A
second bullet was sent through her temple
The little daughter rushed to a neighbor'
and implored them to go to her mother
aid, but before they reached there an
other shot rang out and Kratz dropped t
the floor with bullet in his brain in
flicted by his own hand
Sheriff Rawlings was notified by tn,
neishbors and with his deputy arrived OIL
the scene in few moments after tn,
shooting. Mrs. Mccoy lived about twt
hours and kratz one hour but never re
gained consciousness. The bodies wer
taken to the Pullen undertaking rooms
where a coroner's inquest will be held thi
afternoon. But a few weeks ago Mrs
Mccoy was awakened by some one at
tempting to gain entrance to the hous
and she shot through the door to scare tn
night marauder. Soon after Kratz pre-
sented her with a new revolver, and
was with this that the double TRACED

Brother Demands
Charlton's Trial
Dead Woman's Own Words in Letter
to Prove Former Omaha Man
Was Not Insane.

NE wYORK, July 13-In view Of re-
peated predictions that Porter Charlton VIII
walk from jail free man, although he mas
confessed to the murder OF his wife at
Lake Como, Italy, Captain Henry harrison
Scott, Mrs. Charlton's brother, gave out a
statement today in which he asks for faif
play, justice and a trial.
Il believed" Scott said, that when 1
discovered Charlton my country would then
step in and see, not that my sisters death
was avenged, for 1 have not been seeking
vengeance, but that justice be done l
have been asking only fair play, justice
and a trial. that the same conditions
may be allowed to govern this case as all
others when crime is committed and dis
covered.
Il have secured sufficient competent evil
dence, in the opinion of my counsel, to
establish beyond the slightest doubt three
vital points:
First. that Porter Charlton murdered
my sister in cold blood in manner that
required time and deiberation to accom-
pllsh and that subsequent to the murder
every act to hide his crime showed delibera-
tion and forethought.
Second, that at the time of the COM
mission of the crime he was sane.
Third, that Porter Charlton is now sane
and that any attempt to declare him insane
WIS nothing short of a rehearsed intent on
the prt of Charlton"
In proof Of his contention Captain Scott
showed two letters, one of which he says
was written by Charlton twenty-four hours
before the murder and the other from
Mrs. Charlton to younger sister. Charl-
toms letter seems rational and details his
happiness with his bride Mrs. Charlton's
! letter describes her husband. she says ir
one paragraph:
! He is a student, but absolutely full Of
cheerfulness. In fact, in disposition, he re
minds me of ------ a lot except that Porter
| is always sane"
| The word sane was underlined.

WASHINGTON, July 13-Imports ex-

More than 40 per cent of these imports
