PROPHESY LEADS TO INQUIRY
MRS. LiNLOFF ACCUSED OF PRE-
DIETING EXACT DAY OF DEATH
Inquest Also to Be Held Over The
Bodies of Her TWO
Husands.

Chicago, July "a. - Accuracy of a
prophecy of death, alleged to have
been made by Mrs. Louise Lindloff, a
spiritualist, under indictment for the
murder of her 17-year-old son, Arthur
resulted in a new inquiry being under
taken by the police.
They began all investigation of the
circumstances connected with the
death of Mrs. Eugene Clavett, who
lived at 1913 South Western avenue,
four years ago.
Mrs. Clavett is alleged to have died
after having been treated by Mrs.
Lindloff.
Immediately after the woman's
death. Mrs. Lindloff is alleged to have
made an attempt to induce Mrs. Cla-
vets 16-year-oiddaughter, Mabel, who
was heir to $1,000 to leave the home
of her aunt, Mrs. Mary c. Nelson. Miss
Vlavett refused 10 live with Mrs. Lind
loft, although repeatedly urged to do
so according to the story told the po-
lice by Mrs. Nelson.
Mrs. Lindloff came to our house
frequently to see Mrs. Clavett, my Sis
ter" said Mrs Nelson. She told
her she should not take the medicine
the doctor prescribed for her. Mrs.
Lindloff predicted the next day my sis
ter would die. I believe that the last
few days prior to her death my sister
was induced to take medicine other
than that prescribed by the physi-
cian.''
Attorneys representing Mrs. Lindloff
announced last night that defense
fund of $1,000 had been obtained for
their client and that they would make
an effort to have her realised on bail.

TARIFF BOARD IS
GIVEN A CHANCE
YEARS WORK BY EXPERTS Is
MADE POSSIBLE BY ACTION
OF THE SENATE.
1925, 900 rs ALSO PROVIDED
Whether Appropriation Is Finally
Made Depends on House
Democratic Plan
Defeated.

Washington, July "a. President
Taft's tariff board has secured the
promise of one more year of life from
the senate.
After short fight that body, by
vote of "a to 20, authorized in the
sundry civil appropriation bill an ex-
penditure of $225,000 for another
years work of investigation by the
tariff experts.
Whether the appropriation is finally
made will depend on the strength with
which the house resists the senate's
demands. The house refused to pro-
vide for the tariff board when it franz
ed the sundry civil bill and it's con-
ferees are expected to fight the pro-
vision when the big supply measure
is sent into conference between the
two houses.
Democrats opposed the triff board
provision with but three exceptions
Senator Chamberlain, Newlands and
Thornton, while the regular and Pro-
gressive Republicans were united in
it's support.
The first move by the Democrats
was an amendment by Senator Stone
and Bacon for congressional tariff
commission to consist of five senators
and five members of the house. This
plan was defeated by a straight party
vote of 81 to 81.
The presidential tariff board was
made for subservient to congress, how
ever, by an amednment of Senator
BristOw's accepted by the senate with
out vote and which requires the
board to report to congress once each
year. An attempt by Senator Stone to
reduce the appropriation from $225,000
to 100000 was defeated.
The senate practically completed
the sundry civil bill, but the passage
of the measure was delayed until
this morning. The most important
changes affected by amendment in adj
dition to the adoption of the tariff
board were
An amendment restricting the en-
ployment of ex-employes of the federal
department Of justice as private coun-
compensation.
An amendment for 100000 addi-
tional appropriation to the pension Of
flee to aid the commissioner in handl-
ing the 100000 claims arising under
the new law.
President Taft's tariff veto message
and the work of some of the experts
in the tariff board, were bitterly ar
raigned during the debate in the SEN
ate.
Senator Overman declared President
Taft's veto message On the cotton
chemical schedule was "one of the
most remarkable documents ever
penned, or ever sent to congress" He
declared the president had been mis-
led by an expert of the tariff board
who had made calculations on false
basis of prices" and using the short
instead of the long ton in his work of
estimation. On this authority, said
Senator Overman, President Taft had
sent veto message as to the chemi-
cal schedule that was full of errors
and misstatement of fact

BADGER ELECTORS
ARE AGAINST TAFT
RriIIion and Oshkosh Men Will
Not Vote for President.
GENERAL BOLT PREDICTED
Oshkosh Editor Says All Wisconsin
Electors Are Opposed to TAFT, But
Have No Thought of Voting for Will
son-Suggests Meeting be Called.

Fond du Lac.-In a letter ad-
dressed to William Mauthe, member
of the republican state central COM
mittee from the Sixth district, OTTO
J. lander of Brillion, republican cleo
tor from this district, states that II
elected he will be unable to cast his
vote for William H. Taft. He de-
clares he must cast it for Robert M.
La Toilette or some other progressive
candidate upon whom the republl-
cans might agree.
IF this determination on my part
does not meet with the approval or
your committee" Mr.. lander writes,
81 shall be glad to submit my reslg-
nation at your request.
Mr.. lander gave as his reason Tor
his attitude that President Taft "for
the last four years has engaged IN
vendetta against several states and
that Wisconsin has been one OF the
worst sufferers.
THE republicans of our state, he
declares, ARE literally up in arms
against Mr. Taft
Col. John Hicks, publisher OF the
Oshkosh Northwestern and one OF
the republican presidential electors
at large, has given out statement
that in his opinion all the thirteen
republican electors from Wisconsin
would cast their votes against Presl-
dent Taft. He added there was no
thought of throwing the vote to
Woodrow Wilson. He believes the
electors should meet and decide on
plan of action.
Il think there is no question but
that all the republican electors in
Wisconsin will bolt Taft" said Mr..
Hicks. Il know | shall not vote for
him, and | believe the others feel the
same way. The only question is as
to whom We are to vote for. IL
has been suggested that the thirteen
votes be cast for Senator La toilette,
but we have no knowledge as to
whether that would be agreeable to
him. What the electors should do
is to meet and decide upon some plan
of action. Mr. Zander's proposition
to vote for La Toilette or some other
progressive republican meets with
my approval. There would certainly
be no thought of voting for Wilson.
1t is understood here that {. O..
Cuttings, Racine, a republican presl-
Dental elector, has decided to resign,
as he has declared that he will not
vote for President Taft if he is
elected.

attempt to raise this bean in Wiscon-

$50 acres given up to the product in
the vicinity of Big Suamico, and if
the yield is successful the acreage
will be increased to 500 acres in
1918.

MINE ROYALTY UNDER TAX
State Commissioner Holds Fact It is
Depletion of Capital Makes
No Exemption.

Madison.-Mine royalties are tax
able in Wisconsin as income after al
lowing for depreciation. This deci-
sion by the state tax commission is
the elimination of a series of hear
ings in which mine owners from all
sections of Wisconsin appeared be-
fore the commission, claiming that
mine royalties were not income tax
able under the income tax law.
The directors asserted that royal
ties were a depletion of the original
capital.
"Certainly the day laborer is ex-
hausting his capital every day he
works, yet his wage or salary is
plainly subject to tax says the
opinion.
