MAY REPEAL SUFFRAGE ACT
Failure of Women to File Campaign
Expenses Renders the Measure
Liable to Withdrawal.

Madison.-Repeal of the measure
submitting an amendment to the
state constitution providing for
woman's suffrage at the special ses-
sion of the legislature, may be the
result of the opinion given the secre
tary of state by Attorney General
Bancroft. This step may be taken be-
cause of the failure of those working
for the passage of the amendment
to file statements of contributions
and expenses of the campaign
According to the opinion of the at
torney general both the suffragettes
and the anti-suffragettes come with
in the corrupt practices law and have
been operating within it's provision
for the last six months. The fail
ure to file the required statements
makes the women conducting the
campaigns liable to the penalties of
the law

PUBLIC OFFICIALS
SALARIES EXEMPT
Are Not Subject to Income Tax
Rules Attorney General.
ASSESSMENT MAY BE MADE
Tax Officials Expected to Disregard
Bancroft's Opinion and Pave Way
for Test of Mooted Question Be-
fore Supreme Court.

Madison-The opinion given by
Attorney General Bancroft that pub
lie salaries are not subject to the
income tax will probably not change
the announced policy of the state tax
commission to assess all such sal
aries.
When the question was first dis
cussed in the newspapers it was
stated by the commission that sal
aries of public officials would be as
sessed, even those salaries fixed by
the state constitution. 1t was ex-
planned that the tax did not neces-
sarily mean a reduction of income,
owing to the many exemptions I'M
der the laws and that in many in
stances, no doubt, the total tax paid
by public official would, therefore,
be less than before.
1t is understood, also, that many
public officials, including judges, had
already turned in to the assessors
their income statements. 1t has also
been argued that a we'll paid public
official would not be likely to invite
the criticism which would certainly
come, if he sought to avoid a tax
which others had to pay.

kOEHLER GOES TO
PRISON FOR LIFE
Confessed Slayer of Anna Mil
Ter Quickly Sentenced.
YOUNGEST TO GET MAXIMUM
Eighteen-Year-Old Boy Recites De-
tails of Crime and Is Unmoved by
Sight of Bloody Ratchet Had In
tended to Commit Suicide.

Milwaukee. - Imprisonment in
Waupun for the remainder of his
natural life was the sentence imposed
by Judge Backus in municipal court
upon Albert Koehler, aged Is years,
after he had pleaded guilty to the
charge of numbering his cousin, Miss
Anna Miller, aged so years, five days
previously.
The punishment followed a COM
plete confession in court by the
youthful murderer, in which he re-
lated detail after detail of the grue-
some crime. His motive was revenge
for having been turned from the Mil
Ter home after quarrel.
Koehler is the youngest defendant
ever given the maximum penalty of
the law in Wisconsin. The lad re-
ceived his sentence in stoical man
ner and without apparent signiti-
canoe as to the length of punish
ment.
In his confession in court, it de-
veloped that Koehler had written a
complete statement of his crime be-
fore he was captured and had in
tended to commit suicide, but lacked
courage to carry out his act.
While on the witness stand Koch
Ter never exhibited trace of emo
ton or the least sign of remorse.
Even the sight of the blood-stained
Ratchet, with which he killed his vic
tim for revenge, did not undermine
his stolid composure.
