COUNTY LOSES VAST AMOUNT
Report of Auditor Shows that Kenosha
County Estates Paid $4,000 in Two
Years, of Which County Got Less
Than $4,000.

| The report of the audit of the books
| of the county has brought to light
the tremendous sum paid by Kenosha
county to the state in inheritance taxes
during the last two years, and had this
tax been retained by the county the
necessity of a county tx would have
been entirely removed for a period of
ten years. With this tax left in the
Golfers of Kenosha county it would
have been possible to erect a splendid
new court house and Jail and as we'll
build for the county sanatorium for
the care of tuberculosis patients which
would be a model for other counties in
| the state. Officials of the county who
have looked into the matter declare
that this county has paid more inheri-
tance taxes in the state in the past two
! years than any other county in the
state, outside of Milwaukee county,
and that the amount paid by this county
is nearly as great as that paid by Mil
waukee county, which has d popula
| tion of more than fifteen times as
great as Kenosha county. The total
amount of the inheritance taxes col
lected since the beginning of 1911 is
$268 1854. OF this great amount of
money but $20,171.90 has been paid to
Kenosha county and the remainder has
been paid into the state treasury for
the uses of the state institutions. This
statement shows the great interest that
Kenosha people are taking in the move
ment to secure reduction of the
amount of the inheritance tax turned
over to the state. Had Kenosha county
received one-half this amollnt it would
have paid the regular county taxes for
la term of five years, or would have
made it possible for the county to build
the new county building and Jail. The
amount paid in this county is vastly
in excess of the amount paid in any
other county in the first district and
nearly four times the amount paid in
Racine county in the same term.
The list of inheritance taxes col
lected, as shown by the report Of the
auditor in the two years, are as fol-
lows:

pected from Chicago, Milwaukee, Ra-
cine and Waukegan.
The local congregation are to be con

FIND MILLAGER GUILTY.
Fined $50 and Costs OH Charges of
Selling to Minors.

Edward R. Millager, well known Sa-
lem saloon man, arrested On Oct. Is ON
charges of selling liquor to minor,
was convicted of the charges in the
municipal court this morning and sent
enced by Judge Randall to pay fine
of $50 and the costs Of the action. The
fine and costs were paid. Millager
was not represented by IN attorney,
but he took the stand in his own de-
Tense and declared that the drink he
had sold the alleged minor was moth
ing but a lemonade with cherry in
it. Melvin Pease, the main witness
for the state, insisted that he knew the
difference between lemonade and a
whiskey "foat' and that he had Sc
cured the real article in the Millager
saloon The hearing Of the other Sa-
lem saloon cases was continued until
the first Of February. Millager de-
clared today that he had gone out of
the saloon business and it is possible
that another charge pending against
him will be dropped by the prosecutor.

SEND OUT A WARNING.
Police Urged to Warn Peo-
pie OF Swindle With Base
at Philadelphia.
WORK ON WIDOWS SYMPATHY

The police of the city have received
letters from the Philadelphia police
asking them to warn people of the city
against an unusually crafty alleged
swindle that is being worked out of
Philadelphia by a company known as
the Infancy Diamond Company. 1t is
claimed that this company selects for
its victims those people who have been
recently bereaved by the loss of a
member of the family. It is claimed
that the workings of the company have
been almost entirely in cities about
Chicago and the warning is sent to
these cities especially to prevent other
people being caught in the cleverly
laid trap.
The mode of operation is original,
and the long, grasping fingers of the
company, if such a company there
should be, reach into the home. after
the hour of deepest sorrow. 1t is the
plan of the company to send letters,
similar to the one reproduced here, to
the widows OF men who have died
around Christmas time, the letter stat
ing that the deceased had purchased a
ring on/the installment plan, paid a
part of it, the ring still remaining in
the possession of the company.
They ask the widow to send the re-
mainder Of the money, knowing well
that she would spend the money to re-
tain one last keepsake of her husband.
The money once sent, nothing more is
heard of the ring or the money, and
many victims have lost money in this
way. The letter follows:
Philadelphia, Pa, JAM 9, 1912.
Dear Madam-Through our agent we
were informed of the death Of your
husband, to which loss allow us to ex-
press our sympathy. Your husband
has paid here in installments $17G for
diamond ring Cat.-No. 6453, which
he intended as present for you.
AS the price of the ring is 1855
there has to be paid yet $s5, OH re
ceipt of which we will send the ring
by express to you. AS the last term
for payment of the balance expires on
che 18th of JAN, andtaccording to con
tract you have no claim whatsoever
on us for back payment of money, you
have TO make payment at once, else
your claim viii be forfeited and, the
whole money lost to you.
Trusting that you will send $50 by
money order before the 18th Jan, so
that we can send you the 1855 dia-
mond ring by return express, we re
main,
Respectfully,
The Infancy Diamond Co.,
j. Infancy.

ICE MEN ON STRIKE
Men Employed by the Tewes
People at Paddock's Lake
Quit Work Thursday.
OBJECT TO COOKING OF FOOD

The first strike Of the year on the
lakes in Kenosha county occurred on
Thursday when ninety men employed
by the Tewes Ice Company of Chicago
and Milwaukee threw down their tools
on Paddocks Lake and quit the ice
The men had demanded an increase of
wages to the amount of two and half
cents an hour and in addition they had
demanded changes in the management
Of the commissary department. The
men adm tied that they would not
push the demand for increased wages
but that they did insist on the cook
being fred and competent cook in
stalled in his place.
The men had been at work for just
one week and their pay at the end Of
the first week showed that they were
being allowed fifteen cents an hour
They filed protest with the time
keeper first and when the demand was
refused by the management they start
ed the cry against the cook and then
put on their coats and walked out.
Most of the men were from Waukegan
and had been taken to the lake by
the company for the cutting season.
Men from Chicago and Milwaukee
were secured to take the places of the
strikers late Thursday afternoon and
the work at the lake was going for
ward again this morning. One of the
strikers declared that he had both his
ears frozen and that he had been
promised higher wages for the troubles
he was encountering. The men claim
that Tewes furnished them with excel
lent quarters and with plenty of food,
but that the food was not cooked in a
manner TO make it fit for them to eat.
With the moderation of the weather
the ice cutting is going forward very
rapidly and many houses in the county
are being filed. The ice is from II
to 20 inches thick and it is as clear
as crystal. 1t is declared that more
ice will be cut on the lakes of Kenosha
county this year than ever before.

The audit of the county books has
been submitted to the board of sup
.ervisors and as was predicted all of the
records of the county were found to
be in most satisfactory condition.
by the expert accountant. There were
some clerical errors noted, Of course,
and some overpayments found, but
nothing that cannot be satisfactorily
adjusted when the next settlements are
made. The report brought out promin
emily matters in regard to the right of
certain officials to retain fees, partic-
ularly the sheriff and his deputies,
which have been in dispute for some
time and-it will be up to the board TO
make some kind of decision on these
points so that the officials whose dut-
les are to look after the collection Of
these fees will know what is expected
of them. It is probable that no attempt
custom in regard to the fees earned by
the sheriff 5 office at this time, but
that the matter will be taken up and
some understanding arrived at when a
new contract is made with that Off
cial. With the report before them the
board viii be able to lay down some
hard and fast rules in regard to fees
and in the future it is expected That
the reports will show that ali fees have
been paid and collected in Strict con-
fornlity with the law.

1t is said that the beet sugar fac
tories viii endeayor to base their fut-
ure contracts with the growers on the
amounT of sugar shown in the beets
when they go through the refineries,
but the growers in this section do not
seem to be very fayorably impressed
with the plan and if the proposition is
put up to them On that basis it is not
probable that they will sign for very
much acreage next season. Many of
them will want to wait over one sea
son at least aud see how the new
scheme works out in practice from the
standpoint of the growers. Contracts
on that basis would be decidedly ad-
vantageous to the factories, for they
would be able to a certain extent to pro-
tect themselves from repetition of
the disastrous experiences of last fall
when an enormous tonnage Of beets
was delivered by the growers which
showed very low percentage of
sugar.

Moving picture shows, accompanied
BY lectures, are being tried in the pub
lie schools of litchburg, Mass, to
teach moral conduct. The pictures
show fights between boys, the quatrels
of girls and the way in which games
should be played fairly. Explanatory
remarks are made by the teacher on
by some one who accompanies the NOV
ing picture outfit from room to room,
and are intended to impress upon the
pupils the right and wrong OF every
day conduct.
This seems an. excellent innovation
and one that may help to solve the
problem Of how morals may be
efficiently taught in the schools. The
pictures furnish entertainments and
concentrate attention while they teach.
1t has been predicted by Thomas A.
Edison that geography Kill be learned
by children in the future from moving
pictures, and a more delightful way of
learning it can hardly be imagined.
Probably many other studies can thus
be made interesting and highly instruc-
tive. The moving picture outfit seems
destined to become part of the equip
ment of every progressively managed
school Record Herald.

other articles from the Cream City

State officials whose attention has
been called to the conditions in Keno
sha county answer with the argument
that conditions in this county are alb
normal and that Kenosha county will
never in the future contribute so great
a sum in inheritance taxes as it has
done in the last "a months. 1t must be
remembered that previous to this time
the county las contributed more than
$260,000 in inheritance taxes paid since
the enactment of the law. It is safe to
predict that the returns from the coun-
ty to the state by the collection Of this
tax alone will be in excess of 100000
in a ten-year period.
