ScnWIttay Cannot Practise law
in Wisconsin.
FOUND GUILTY BY STEVENS
Decision Handed Down in Case of
Marnette Lawyer After Trial
SchWittay Seeks Sher-
ifs Office,

Madison.-Albert e. Schwittay, dis
trict attorney Of Marinette county,
was disbarrod from practising law in
the Wisconsin courts by decision of
Judge E. Ray Stevens. Judge Stevens
conclusions were as follows
THAT the defendant does not pos
sess a good moral character, which is
a requisite condition to his right to
continue in the practise Of law
That Judgment be entered abso-
lutely annulling the license OF Albert
f. Schwittay to practise as lawyer
before all the courts Of record Of this
state and absolutely revoking the II"
cense Of said Albert +. Schwittay to
practise the profession of the law out
side the courts of record of the state
OF Wisconsin.
"A discussion of the questions OF
law presented by each of these find
ipSs is not essential to determine
ton of the single issue presented by
this proceeding, which is: Does the
defendant possess that good moral
character which is a prerequisite to
the right to enjoy the privileges which
are possessed only by members OF the
bar? When shown that a member OF
the bar does not possess such character,
1t is the duty of the court to revoke
his license to practise and to deny
him all the privileges that come with
his admission to the bar.
"NO discussion of the rules of law is
necessary TO lead counsel or the court
to tie conclusion that one who has
been guilty of conduct such as that
found by the court is no longer ut to
have a license to practise law
Schwittay is a graduate of the law
school of the University of Wisconsin
in 1901. In that year he was admitted
to the bar Proceedings to revoke his
license were commenced In 1904 and
he was convicted of the charges against
him.
After a suspension Of three years,
Schwittay was admitted to practise
again in 1908, and in the fall OF the
same year began a campaign for the
office of district attorney, charging
"HbItSdlc COI lupllOi anu "AN O'N >
part Of men then In office and a num-
Der who were out Of office. He Sc
cured the nomination and was elected,
and then began action to secure a
grand jury.
One of the sensational events OF
the trial was the disappearance of At
torncy John H. Frankie, who was one
OF the chief witnesses for the state
He was later brought back and testi'
fed against Schwittay The court
fined him $50 for not obeying the SUB
poena which had been served upon
him, and administered a severe rebuke
Before the decision in the disbar
ment action was given Schwittay an
nounced himself as candidate fol
the nomination for sheriff of the coun
ty and filed nomination papers August
s. He stated that If he was not dis
barred he would pull out Of the fight
for the sheriff's nomination. and run
as an independent candidate for the
district attorneys office again.

Qualities Of Marble and Granite.
In chemical composition marble is
essentially calcium carbonate, or car
1nate of lime. AS a consequence, the
stone Is very sensitive to the action
of chemical agents present in the at
mOspheTe On the other hand, while
marble is in this way more rapidly at
tackled than many other stones, its
power to resist the mechanical agents
of Weathering, which are generally the
most destructive, makes it a compara-
lively durable substance. The great
variety of colors shown by marble IS
due mainly 10 the presence of compan-
Ion minerals. Iron, when present in
the ferrous state produces color vary
inc from light to dark green manga.
nese and cobalt involve pinkish hues
Accessory minerals, in short, give rise
TO an almost endless association and
blending of colors, shades, veins and
patterns.
Granite is a crystalline granular az
gregate OF quartz, felspar and mica
and comprises all varieties Of texture
Generally It Is the constituent felspar
which gives the ruddy or the gray ap
pearance fferentiating the rock Tn
like marble, granite cannot be split ur
with saws, and hence the expense and
labor OF quarrying and preparing the
latter material for building and other
purposes is relatively much greater.

"Weatherman's of again." cogitated
the early riser Thursday morning. as

had failed to materialize. But il was

prospect Is that II will continue well

from six to 10 inches. provided the
temperature does not rise above the
freezing point and convert the pretty
fiakelets into drizzling rain. But while
such calamity Is possible 1t Is not
regarded as probable.
The present fall comes to us fresh

vortex. Moderately heavy rain Is re-
ported in eastern Iowa. Missouri anu

Owing to the late start OF the s.orm

Hurlbut believes that parks are a

This year Commissioner Hurlbut

the Belle Isle ferries TO consider but

Named President In Wednesday Even

ned Against Brewers.

Aside from the election OF officers,
which resulted In the choice OF Will
lam X Benson for president, the De-
troit Federation Of Labor meeting on
Wednesday evening. was made inter
esting by the debate on local OPTION.
A complaint was made by the struc-
tural iron workers that one brewery
Is disregarding union labor in the con-
struction of an addition to its plant.
This was followed by declaration
on the part of the metal trades coun-
ell that the Federation should advo-
cate local option as weapon against
the brewers.
Seeing their livelihood endangered.
the brewery workers delegates made
vehement and earnest protest, and the
outcome was an agreement that a
conference shall be held between the
metal trades council and the brewers
before any measures are taken
Notice was received from the Amer
lean Federation of Labor that all un-
ions will be expected to assess their
members 10 cents apiece to aid In the
fight against the steel trust.

GATHER IN PERSONAL TAXES.
City Treasurer's staff Kept Busy Dur
ina Dull Days of Winter.

These winter days are not dull by
any means for City Treasurer Max G.
Koch's clerks. True, there is not as
much work in the office as usual, bu
the city treasurer has found occupa-
ton for his men In sending them out
TO round up delinquent citizens who
have omitted TO pay their personal
taxes. There are a lot OF these, too,
and the personal reminder sometimes
has to be repeated several times.
In fact. the city treasurer has one
regular collector Louis Katz, who
does nothing else but gather in de-
linquent personal taxes The fact thai
he has brought in s7,24763 of 1908
back taxes since July 1, shows some
industry. Just as demonstration of
the fact that IL Is expensive TO be
tardy with taxes. II may be mention
ed that 81 900 in interest was gathered
In along with these collections.
The city treasurer has the right to
levy on the personal property OF any
delinquent taxpayer, but this Is rarely
resorted to until persuasion mas failed
utterly. Then, the sight of legal
paper in the hand of a deputy sheriff
generally brings the city's dues from
a reluctant purse without the neces-
sity of a formal seizare and sale.
Automobiles are the hardest kind
of property on which to collect per.
sonal taxes, because they are hard
to catch up with. Once located. how
ever. Collector Katz can SIT back In
the soft-padded seat and inform the
owner that further speeding Is sub
ject TO payment OF taxes.
AS the 1908 taxes have beer pretty

lectors from the CITY treasurer Of.
fee will now start I'm to garner the
