EXPENSES PAID BY COUNTY
Collection of Taxes to Cost the
County More Than Double the
Amount Paid in the Past-Dalton
Urged for the New Office.

The position Of income tax assessor
for Kenosha county which is to be
handed out by the state tax commits
sion between now and the first of Janu-
airy of next year will be job worth 60
ing after as the salary of the office will
be in the neighborhood Of $4,000 year
and the income tax commissioner will
be the best paid of the county officials
outside the sheriff and the Judge of the
municipal court. The new assessor will
take the place Of Joseph E. Dalton who
at present holds the position of super
visor of assessments in the county and
many people believe that Mr.. Dalton
will be named for the new Office al
though it is certain that there will be
long list of applicants for the office
before the appointment is made by the
state commissioner.
| Under the old plan Supervisor of AS
sessments Dalton received a salary at
the rate of So a day for It's days, total
salary amounting to 1925. Members of
the county board hold that no official
could give better service than Mr.. Dali
ton has given at any salary as he has
taken real interest in the work and
there is no doubt but that he would be
almost the unanimous choice of the
members of the board and the various
assessors of the county for the position
of income tax assessor.
AS yet the state commission has not
named any of the men to administer
the new income tax law, but it is
thought that the appointments will be-
made before the first Of November in
order to give the new officials a chance
to get acquainted with the duties of
their offices. The present suit to test
the validity of the income tax law may
have a tendency to delay the making
of the appointments as the state tax
commission is inclined to await legal
settlement of the tangle before commit
ting itself as to the validity of the
statute.
Under the law which created the
Office of income tax assessor the salary
is fixed on basis of cents on every
$1,000 Of valuation and it is presum-
ed that the first years salary will be
based upon the assessment of the coun-
ty as returned by the state tax com
mission.
The valuation Of all property in Ke-
noha county last year was $4,000, 000.,
IT, the salary Of the income tax assessor
is fixed on a basis Of cents on every
$1,000 of valuation then the salary of
of the income tax assessor for Kenosha
county would be about $4,000. All ex-
penses to which the assessor meets
with in the performance of his duties
are paid by the. county. 1t is believed
that the work can be done by one man
and it will not be necessary to employ
assistants so that whoever is appoint
ed income tax assessor for Kenosha
county will receive the entire alary al
lowed for his work The new county
official will retain some of the duties
of the county supervisor Of assess
ments which Office will soon be
abolished.

lived for more than three years it was
declared that che woman had so con-
cealed her condition that the members
of the family had never suspected that
she was expecting the birth of child.
Mrs. Magdolen came to Kenosha
three years ago from Hungary and it
IS declared that her husband, John
Magdolen, IS living in Chicago. Mag
dolen is alleged to have returned to
Hungary for his wife and two children
after a year S residence in Kenosha and
is alleged to have found that she had
three instead of the two children that
he had left with her several years be-
fore. The woman discovered that her
husband was on his way to Hungary
and fed from that country and came
to Kenosha. Since that time she had
lived in Kenosha and after the discov-
cry of the third child it is stated that
her husband refused to live with her
or to have anything further to do with
her. The three children of the woman
are all in Hungary.
Mrs. Magdolen has been well known
in Slavish circles in Kenosha and her
arrest under the circumstances proved
very sensational in Salvish circles. The
woman was taken to the Office of the
district attorney this morning and an
effort was made to have her tell what
was done with the child and it was ar
ranged to bring both her and Halmo in
to court late this afternoon.
The police have found the place in
the bark piles where the birth of the
child is alleged to have taken place,
but all search for the infant or its body
has been futile. Halmo insists that he
had not been with the woman for some
time and that he had not known that
the birth of the baby was expected.
The woman just before noon made a
statement to Justice John Wells in
which she declared that the child was
born just after three CLOCK Sunday
morning. She declared that she fell in
a faint and was unconscious for some
time and that when she revived she
found no trace Of the body. The
woman declared that she then fled from
the place and had not confded her trou-
bles to any one until the doctor was
called to attend her.

NO TRACE OF CHILD FOUND
Woman and John Halmo Who is Alleged
to Have Been Her Companion Ar
rested, While River is Dragged for
the Body of the Child.

One Of the most unusual cases in the
police annals of Kenosha was brought
to light Monday evening by the arrest
Of Mrs. Anna Magdolen, aged 90 years
and John Halmo, both Hungarians, who
are held at the county Jail on possible
charges Of homicide. The arrest of
the woman followed the alleged birth
of child to her on Sunday, but the
child is missing and although the police
have searched the city and dragged the
river no trace of the child or its body
has been found. The woman has adopt
ed sullen mood at the county jail
/ and has refused to give out any story
| in regard to the case. Halmo declares
that he is innocent of any wrong doing
and insists that he is not the father of
the child. He claims to have absolutely
no knowledge that the child was born.
| The woman did not select any fitting
Surroundings for the arrival Of the stork
and it is claimed that she gave birth
to the child in the bark piles adjoining
the river on Grand avenue. Earlier in
the day she had attended a wedding
celebration and she was on her way
home from the wedding when the stork
came. She was taken on Grand avenue
bridge and according to her story made
her way to the bark piles where she
waited alone for the coming of the
baby. After the child had been born
she went to the home of John Modery
in the west end of the city where her
condition was afterward discovered and
DR.. j. 3. Spalding was called to attend
her. DR.. Spalding at once informed
the polic3 Of the condition of the wom-
an and the facts surrounding the alleg-
ed birth of the child. Search was at once
made for the child or its body, the po-
lice laboring under the impression that
the infant was thrown into the river
Immediately it was born. The woman
refused to make any statement and she
was arrested.
