DISCUSS INCOME TAX.
State Supervisor finds Knotty Prob
lens Waiting Him in Kenosha.

State Supervisor Of Income Taxes
K. x. Kennan of Madison, met with
the Kenosha Board of Review this
morning and he had some knotty prob
lens in regard to income taxation put
up to him by local attorneys. The
principal problem was the question of
the collection Of the taxes on incomes
earned in Wisconsin and paid to peo-
pie who were residents of other states.
1t was held by the attorneys that the
law was faulty in that it gave the
state no power to collect this money
save from the person to whom the in
come was actually paid The attorneys
held that it would be necessary to
bring suits against the persons to whom
the incomes were paid in the states in
which they resided. It was stated that
this was one feature of the law which
was slated for amendment if the de-
sires of the state tax commission are
carried out by the next session Of the
Wisconsin legislature. Supervisor
KEENAN, returned to Madison this af-
ternoon.

INQUEST TO Be HELD TONIGHT
Man Had Stopped Auto for Freight
Train and Failed to See Passenger
Which Struck Him When Running
at Rate of Sixty Miles an Hour.

and widely known as a cattle buyer in
Kenosha and Lake counties, was in
stantly killed just after nine O'Clock
Tuesday evening at the Houston cross
ing of the Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul Railway, half mile south of the
Ranney station, when the automobile
in which he was riding was struck by
passenger train, south bound, and
running at rate of nearly sixty miles
an hour. Nearly every bone in Crit
tenden IS body were broken and the
body was hurled nearly two hundred
feet from the crossing. The automo-
bile was demolished and portions of the
broken car were thrown into the field
hundred feet from the scene of the
accident.
The crew Of the train stopped it and
went back and picked up the mangled
body of the man and took it back to
the Truesdel station where it was turn
ed over to Coroner FL. J. Stanton and
an inquest will be held this evening at
which an effort will be made to fix the
blame for the accident.
Crittenden was riding in a light two
passenger automobile which had been
rugged up with cattle box on the rear
of it. He had spent the afternoon in
Kenosha dealing with the local market
men and Late in the evening had started
for his home at Russell, I'LL. He was
driving west and when he came to the
crossing where the accident occurred a
freight train. going to the north barred
the crossing. Crittenden in a hurry to
get home had driven up close to the
freight cars and just as the train pull
ed past the crossing he started for
ward The south. bound passenger train
running at terrific speed had been
hidden by the freight train and the
automobile was struck just as Critten
den was in the very center Of the
tracks. The engineer had no chance
to reverse his engine or set the brakes
and the train was running at it's full
speed when the automobile was struck
The crash of the collision was heard
at farm houses about the crossing and
before the train crew could stop the
train and come back to the crossing a
crowd had gathered The body Of Crit
tenden had been found in ditch nearly
two hundred feet from the crossing.
Tt is certain that Crittenden never
knew what hit him. Tt would have
been impossible under the circumstances
for him to have seen the passenger
train in time to avoid the accident.
Crittenden s wife and three children
were at Russell and they were notified
of the accident. They started from Rus
sell at once in an automobile, but the
automobile broke down and Sheriff
Stahl went out and brought the widow
and her children to Truesdel. Later
the remains of the man were brought to
the Mischief and Stanton morgue in
Kenosha.
Crittenden was popular among the
market men and farmers Of the two
counties and he Lad done large bust
ness in buying veal and other cattle.
He had resided at Russell for the past
five years and before that time he Lad
lived at Wauconda, III.

TURN HOME.

Minneapolis, Jan. Sin Minneapo-
lis according to dispatches from Win
nipeg, two boys, one 10 and one s
years old will plead with their mother
to go back to their home in Texas.
The father of the boys, J. b. Snead,
wealthy cattle owner of Fort Worth.
Tex, will add his entreaties to those
of his sons.
The Minneapolis meeting will be
the sequel to thousand mile pursuit
which started in Texas when Mrs.
Snead left her family and ran away
with Albert G. Boyce of Seattle, son
of wealthy Texas cattle man. Boyce
and Mrs. Snead were arrested in Win
nipeg last week after they had been
found at fashionable hotel by Frank
Colweil of Minneapolis, a private de-
tective. Colwell charged Boyce with
abduction, but the offense is not ex-
traditable. Then Colwell had a
charge Of grand larceny placed
against Boyce, it being asserted he
persuaded the woman to give him
valuable jewelry. This charge too
failed to hold, but dispatches from
winnipeg today say that Boyce and
Mrs. Snead had been adjudged unde-
sirable citizens and will be deported
today.
Snead, who went through Minnea-
polls Saturday, said he would shoot
Boyce. but there has been no shooting
and it is believed Boyce was deported
from Canada by way Of Ottawa.

Big RATE
REDUCTIONS
Freight Tariffs Lowered On
All Western Roads

Washington. d. c.. Jan. s.-Radical
reductions in freight rates on livestock,
packing house products and salt were
toddlb rafFibed by the interstate
commerce c5mndssion to apply to all
western and southwestern railroads
The commission holds the present
rates on livestock from points in New
Mexico, Texas and Oklahoma to Fort
Worth, Tex; Oklahoma City, Okla.
and Wichita, Kan, unreasonable: the
existing rates on fresh meats and other
packing house products from Fort
Worth, Oklahoma City and Wichita
to points in other states unreasonable,
and the rates on salt from the Kan
sas field to Oklahoma City, unjust.
The findings of the commission,
were prepared by Commissioner Prouty
as the result of an exhaustive investi-
CATION and affect the rates to all
points east. The railroads are given
until Feb. 1, 1912 to put in the fair
rate suggested.

The president said he was thorough@
ly aroused to the gravity Of the situa-
ton In the republican party and was
determined to let his attitude be gem
orally known. He declared that un-
der no circumstances will he with
draw his name from consideration by
the Chicago convention next June, and
has asserted that his position with
respect to the nomination has not
changed in any particular since ne
first entered the White House.
Taft has told his friends and the
party leaders from the first that il
he should be called upon TO stand for
reelection he would be glad to do
SO; that he felt under obligations to
the party for having made him presi-
dent and was willing to abide by its
decision in the convention. He ad-
heres to this position according to
the announcement today. and will not

ballots are all cast in Chicago.
The president was urged by a num-
ber Of his closest friends to make a
definite statement as to his position
and agreed to do so in the language
as an inspiration, 1t is said the Taft
supporters will begin an active cam
paign in his behalf at once. 1t was
stated some OF Tafts friends have gone
SO far lately as to advise him openly
to break with Roosevelt and to chal-
lenge the latter to make plain his in
tentions. The president declined to do
this.
The White House has been fairly
flooded with callers lately who have
brought word to Taft that Roosevelt
so far has declined to say that he
would not accept the nomination if
rendered him. 1t is also reported TO
the White House that Roosevelt be-
lieves an organized effort is being
made to smoke him OUT and that he
declines to be smoked out' either by
Taft or the LaFoilette forces.
Taft declined so far to indicate
whether he believes this.

Former Secretary Says Prices
Were Not Fixed
SIMPLY REGULATED SUPPLY
HENRY vEEpER ON CROSS EXAM
NATION SAYS THERE WAS
NOTHING TO REGULATE PRICES
IN AGREEMENT OF THE OLD
PACKERS POOL.

Chicago, Jan. "a fiat denial of
the governments contention that the
old packers pool of the period between
1895 and 1892 attempted to fix the
price of fresh meats or the price to
be paid for live stock, was made to-
day by Henry Veeder, on cross ex-
animation near the close of the MORN
ing session of the trial OF ten Chicago
packers. He declared the only object
CT the combination Of packers was to
regulate the amount of fresh meat
that was to be shipped into the differ
ent states.
The witness said each of the agree
ments made by the packers during the
period described contained provision
that no effort was to be made to fix
prices. The contention OF the govern
ment is that the uniform test cost
method, estimating the value of
slaughtered animals, was the means
used by the packers to fix prices.
The defense also brought out that
under the agreement each member of
the combination frequently over
shipped the maximum percentage al
lowed. The object of this was to re-
flute the charge that the operation OF
the combination had the effect OF re-
straining the trade in fresh meats.
When confronted with letters sem
out by packers referring to the ship
ment and price OF fresh meat during
the period which he said no pool was
in existence the witness denied the
genuineness Of the documents. Dur
ing the morning session, the govern
ment read several letters and tele-
grams purporting to have been sent
out by the combination while VeedeI
was secretary.

WOMEN DEPUTIES
TO AID SHERIFF
NINE. NoRDIcA AND MRS. o. H. p,
BELMONT AMONG NUMBER
WHO WILL QUALIFY.

New York, Jan. 3.-If Sheriff Julius
Hamburger, ardent suffragist himself,
wasn't sincere in his declaration that
he stood ready to appoint large num-
Der of women deputies, among them
some Of the most noted women ri Am
erica, he has gotten himself into a
peck of trouble, for with only one ex-
ception-M Miss Helen Gould-the women
he named have announced their in
tention of accepting the positions.
But Hamburger declares ne really is
sincere and that as soon as the &c.,
600 bonds required are submitted he
viii swear the women and give them
their shields and armament
II shall most assuredly accept the
position, and shall feel honored that it
was offered me-" today declared Mrs.
Young, wife of a millionaire banker,
better known as Nine. Nordica, the
grand opera singer. "It is only right
that women should be given the OPP
portunity' to act as guardians of the
peace
Mrs, o. H. p. Belmont declared that
she would be more than pleased to re-
ceive her commission. 81 think" she
said, women should not be called upon
to raid gambling houses-no one ex-
poets that. But there is plenty of work
for women deputies. The women, you
see, don't want to oust the men; they
want to work side by side with them,
each doing his or her kind of work. .
Mrs. James Lees Laidlaw, chairman
of the borough of Manhattan Society
for Women Suffrage, declared she
would accept the honor Of being a
deputy, while Miss Inez Milholland
society leader, suffragette, law student
land herself once arrested at suf-
fragette meeting said she was per-
fectly willing to serve.

APROBLEM
Mere Breaking Up Of Combines
Does Not End Question
Statement Of Secretary Nagel
In His Annual Report
Certain Degree Of Combination
Essential to Business

Washington. Jan. s.-"The mere
breaking up of large combinations in
to a number of separate parts by no
means meets the whole trust ques-
tion," says Secretary Nagel of the de-
partment of commerce and labor in
his annual report transmitted today
TO President Taft.
Secretary Nagel declares that the
Sherman law has been proved to be an
effective statute beyond all doubt and
that a degree of combination of cap
ital is quite necessary, but he adds
that the supreme court decisions in
the Standard Oil and tobacco cases
have demonstrated that the next step
in the control of great industrial cor
porations will be the creation of a per-
manent federal agency.
How such control shall be exercised,
whether by commission, federal incor-
poration or other means, which have
been advocated recently by Judge Ell
bert H. Gary, George w. Perkins and
