HOME IS QUARANTINED
Antitoxin Is Administered and No
More Fatalities Are Expected
TO Result.

Infection from the disease which
caused the death OF little Florence
Armstrong yesterday morning has at
tackled four other members of the
family and cultures show that the
germs OF the diphtheria have settled
in their throats. OF the four who are
I'll, Ellen, G years old, is critically SO.
and her condition today is dangerous.
The others, Frances, aged s, Myrtle,
aged 5, and Mildred, aged 3, are suf-
fering from light attacks. The ply
stefan who was first summoned ad-
ministered antitoxin TO cure the one
suffering most, and as a preventive
TO those who are only slightly i'll.
THREE HOMES GUARANTEED.
DR.. g. G. Craig, Commissioner
Archie Hart and Health Officer VIII
Pratt worked yesterday afternoon on
the case. Three houses were fumi-
gated and placed under quarantine
They include the Armstrong home at
ZOE Fourth street and the homes at
1907 First street and 1908 Second
street The West End Settlement
was fumigated. II was Mrs. Barker
OF that institution who first reported
the case 10 the city authorities.
CULTURES MADE
The propagation of bacteria for
scientific study was conducted under
the direction OF DIR. Craig and the
culture was placed in an incubator
Investigation OF the cultures taken
from the thronts OF those who had
been subjected TO contagion showed
that only four we're affected by the
disease. The case OF the one girl,
Ellen. showed that the case had pro-
crossed 30 far that short time
longer without treatment would have
resulted in the death Of the girl.
DESTITUTE CIRCUMSTANCES.
The family Is in destitute circum-
stances and resides in hovel OF two
rooms. Until the death OF the baby
yesterday there were seven children,
the Oldest Of whom Is years. She
did what little she could to help her
sisters. The case was reported to the
visiting nurse yesterday. and as It
was a case OF contsgion, she. herself,
could not attend 10 those who are i'll.
But she provided another nurse
through the association and the fam
fly is being given every attention pos
sible.

DESIRE REPORT OF CASES.

While rules OF the visiting nurse
association state that she can not han
die contagious diseases, yet 1t is the
desire OF the association that every
physician report such cases to the as
sociation and another nurse for that
especial case will be provided. When
ever occasion arises the committee in
charge will gladly procure a nurse.

LA TOILETTE CONTROLLED.

The republican state convention met in Madison
Tuesday and controlled to its minutest
details by Senator LaFollette. Senator George e.
Scott of Barron county elected chairman of the
state central committee. JOIN King county
treasurer was honored by being placed upon the
state central committee to represent the Eighth
congressional district.
The platform is very ELUSIVE in its praise of Sen
ator LaFolette. Gov. McGovern term was endorsed
of course, not in extravagant language but
theless recognized. The state income tax law of
which the half breed crowd is in control its
trainers, was given prominence and it will be the
main question in the state campaign. The platform
goes to cite the various laws enacted by the half
breeds while under the LaFolette regime. A plank
was put in concerning water powers, which means
that the present administration desires to have
law passed which will preclude the possibility of any
sane business investing his money in any such
enterprise and If successful, will be blow to North
ern Wisconsin and will stop growth and prosperity.
There was no endorsement of the administration
of President Taft, or the running qualities of the
bull moose. In fact the state republican platform
is painfully silent on the national issues. In this
regard E. L. Philip said:
UNLESS that convention endorses the President
and the platform on which he will run, they read
themselves out of the republican party, and it will
be up to the Presidents supporters in the state to
see that there is state ticket and platform endors
ing his stand. If action is taken call for a
meeting of state republican leaders early next
week will be issued within few days.
Tn feeling in republican circles against LaFolette
and his crowd for refusing to say anything about
the Taft administration is very bitter all over the
state

OBNOXIOUS REPUBLICAN INCOME
TAX LAW.

The present Attorney General of Wisconsin, Levi
H. Bancroft, is a bitter opponent of the state
income tax law. His ideas boiled down are
'The Wisconsin income tax law imposes no
burden upon idle capital, it taxes only earnings
including wages and interest 1t is therefore a
burden upon industry and enterprise. The tramp
and the loafer pay no income tax
''There is neither reason nor excuse for any form
of taxation except to meet the expenditures made
necessary by the general welfare. 1t this theory
of taxation is right, the Wisconsin income tax law
is fundamentally wrong;
''It violates the law of uniformity
cit encourages the withholding OF capital from
industry and enterprise.
cit discourages investment
cit includes the iniquity OF taxing the home
owner upon the rental value of his residence.
'sAuv system which encourages idleness is essent-
ally wrong and incapable of defense.
HCapital living idle and dormant produces IN
dustrial paralysis"
'sIn such cases tonic is better than an emetlc.
''No act of legislature could be more repre-
hensibe or uniustfable that the enactment OF a
law which places the citizens of its state at DIS
advantage in competition with the citizens OF
foreign state.
1.-The ruling powers in any state or nation are
specifically charged with the duty OF seeking ao-
vantage for their own people.
1.-The law makes Wisconsin a penal colony lot
those who have builded homes and engaged IN
industrial enterprises within its borders.
'sSuch law has proven failure in twenty states
outside of Wisconsin.
''Capital is withdrawing from Wisconsin and any
one who denies this is either ignorant or dishonest

THE Record Herald has tried to
throw another fit over the panic of
1893. It should remember that the
panic of 1893 occurred under the
Mckinley bill, passed in 1890 and in
force until Aug. 1894, when it was
superseded by the Wilson bill,
which made but little reduction in
rates except the admission of wool
free of duty.
The Record Herald should re-
member that every panic in our
history has occurred under a high
protective tariff. There has never
been time in our National life
when we have not had protective
tariff.
The tariff of 1889 adopted the
principle of protection. The duties
levied under it were equivalent to
an advalorem rate of 81 per cent.
The next year the duties were
raised to an equivalent of IL per
cent. advalorem, and in 1892 they
were raised to 49, per cent Be
tween the tariffs of 1889 and 1916, a
period of twenty-six years, seven
teen acts were passed affecting the
duties and steadily raising them.
During the last three years under
the tariff of 1916 the rates were
equal to 30 per cent. on duitable
imports.
Under this law occurred the panic
of 1919, the first in our history, the
second panic, that of 1887, occurred
under protective of 81 or s per
cent. The third panic that of 1857
occurred under a protective tariff
OF 254 per cent.
The panic of 1878 the most
severe in our history, occurred un-
der tariff rate of 3Sl per cent.
Then came the panic of 1898 under
the Mckinley bill with an ad valor-
cum rate of about 30 per cent.
Under the Wilson bill of August
1894 the average duty upon dutiable
imports actually imported for the
year ending July 1, 1897 was AZ. Il
per cent. July !, 1864 near the
close of the civil war the advalorem
rate was 1868 per cent. The duties
under the Wilson bill we're Is per
cent higher than the rate at the

-. We reafirm the declaration

80. We reaffirm the declaration
made in the state platform of 1910
10 favor of municipal home rule.
a. We favor the passage of a
general law which will encourage
the development of the undeveloped
water power in the state, and which
will adequately and fully protect
every public interest of the state
in the navigable waters of the state
and which will vest in the railroad
commission, or other competent
body, authority to regulate and
control the development of such
water power and to regulate and
control water powder now developed
and that hereafter developed to the
extent necessary fully to protect
and promote every public interest
and the general welfare.
So. We pledge our support to
the constitutional amendment
passed by the last legislature pro-
viding for the adoption of the init
alive, referendum and recall.
SO. We declare in favor of the
principle of the guarantee of bank
deposits and we commend the efforts
being made by the bankers Of Wis
consin to establish a satisfactory
and efficient plan for insurance of
deposits.
''7. We favor national income
tax as proposed in the platform of
| the national democratic party
adopted at Baltimore.
"We are opposed TO the present
state income tax, forced upon the
people of the state by the republi-
can party at the last session of the
Legislature. 1t is admittedly defec-
tive, unjust, unfair and inquisitorial
and discriminating against the in
terest of the entire people of this
state. 1t works out to the interest
of the tax dodger and not to the
interest of the taxpayer. It's rati-
fication by the people was refused
bv the party in power. We promise
its immediate repeal.
"We pledge ourselves to submit
to the people of the state at the
time of holding the spring elections
in April, 1913, the question whether
or not it is their desire that state
income tax law be enacted, thus
giving the people an opportunity,
after full years trial of the law,
to express themselves upon this
subject directly and disconnected
with any other question. We pledge
ourselves, if such question is decided
affirmatively, to prepare and to
vote for as fair and equitable a state
income tax law as possible before
the adjournment of that same ses-
sion of the legislature.
SO. We favor the repeal of the
Mary Ann second choice election
law.
SO. No especial interests Of any
kind should find political refuge in
the democratic party. We partic-
ularly approve of the action of the
Baltimore convention in excluding
from the control of the party all
those who undertake to use it for
their private gain. We believe the
party within the state of Wisconsin
to be free from such control and
never more so than at the pres
ent time. We congratulate the
democratic voters on the fact that
they have not nominated any candi-
date for state or legislative office
whose record or whose backing is
such as to encourage the use of the
democratic party for personal and
selfish ends, or whose nomination
and support by the democratic
party would detract from the high
standing which the party has at
tanned"

was iniquitous and unjustiiable
but it did not cause the panic of

THEIR FATE MONDAY
Famous Case Involving New
York Gangsters Will Go
to Jury Then.
DAGO FRANK STARRED
Cirofici Made Il Good Witness in His
T''-e Own Defense ana May. a,e
Get OF.

New York, Nov 15.-Monday night
will bring with it the fate OF the foul
gunner, charged with the murder Of
Herman Rosenthal. Today witnessed
the completion of the case for the de-
tense. Tomorrow the state witnesses
in rebuttal will be heard. AND Justice
Golf ordered when adjournment was
taken tonight that both SIDES &c pre-
pared to sum up on Monday in order
that he may charge the jury and turn
the case over to it by nigntrall.
In this situation. one might almost
say, critical stage OF the entire Roa-
enthal case has been reached. In the
desperate fight which he has been
making to save the lives of HIS four
clients, Judge Wahle, counsel for the
defendants, has for the first time fore
ed the state into defensive position.
Jack Rose, Bridgey Weber, Harry
Vallon and Sam Schepps nave been
granted immunity from prosecution for
the murder of Rosenthal on condition
that it he not known that they partici-
pated in the actual killing-that they
fired no shots. For rcucOns of his
own, the district attorney did not call
Weber, WALTON and Schepps in the
presentation of his main case. And
the defense went on and built up their
case on the testimony of half a dozen
witnesses who swore that the actual
shooting was done by Weber, WALTON
and the mysterious stranger who has
been frequently referred to.
Wnhh0r and Vo11nn
must take the witness stand tomorrow
nominally as witnesses against the &C
cused gunner, but in reality to refute
the charge that they did the shooting
and save themselves from being forced
to trial for murder. 1t is Wahle's
plan in striving to create reasonable
doubt in the minds of the jurors to
argue that his clients are as worthy
of belief as the men who accused
them.
The final desperate blows in this
last stand of the gunpen of New York
will be struck tomorrow therefore

The closing scenes in the preSenta
ton of the case OF the defense were re-
plete with all the picturesque incl
dents Of the preceding days Of the
trial. With the acceptance OF "Daso'
Frank, who made a really excellent
witness for himself-it was the day Of
the supernumeraries in this striking
drama Of the underworld. Wahle dug
deep down into the heart OF the ten
derloin and produced cast OF char
acters Including bar;enders, gamb-
lers, nighthaWk hackmen, news ven
ders, district messengers-a distinct
types of the night life of New York.

day. He put the finishing touches to

built up for him and otherwise he
followed closely the story which "Gyp'

1t was on cross examination that he
showed to best advantage. He admit
ted having been sent to Elmyra for
being found with gun and slung-
shot on his person. That he sWears,
was the orly time he has been sent
to prison. But he frankly admitted
having been silent partner in an
opium parlor town. He admitted
also never having been married, but
denied that Jean Gordon supported
him. He claimed to have been at her
flat when the shooting took place.
The girl had been arrested and 1t
was while he was trying to secure
bail for her that he heard Herman
Rosenthal had been killed.
Justice Gcff next put series OF
questions, but the witness deftly
side-steppcd every attempt to impli-
cate him in any feature of the killing
of the gambler or any guilty know

smiling and then there followed a
procession of tenderloin habitues.
