BOOST INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION
May Ask That Central Building be used
as Home of Industrial Work in the
City and That Plans be Made for
Erection of New High School Building

Kenosha manufacturers are conduct
ing quiet investigation in regard to
the necessity for the building of a
new high school in the city and it is
probable that as a result of the inYes-
tigation being made that the manu-
facturers' association will be drawn
into-the controversy among the mem-
bers of the school board as to the best
plan for providing school facilities.
The manufacturers are especially in
terested in the financial end of the
problem as they figure that a large
amount of the cost of the building
Of a new school will fall upon the
manufacturers in the way of taxes.
None of these men is anxious or will
ing to impede the development of the
school system in Kenosha, but they be-
lieye that q little more consideration
should be given the proposition on the
part of the school board and the COM
mon council before the city is commit
ted to an expenditure of quarter Of
million dollars and more.
The manufacturers have held several
informal meetings and several of them
have arranged to make all inspection
Of the old high school building to de-
termine whether or not it is suitable
for use for any extended time. If
the building is found safe it is prob
able that the manufacturers will ask
the council and the board Of education
to make some plan by which the build
ing can continue TO be utilized for
school purposes. None Of the men
who have taken an interest in the
move is opposed to the building Of a
new high school building if such a
building is needed at this time, but
they are objecting to junkingo the
big central building which they hold
might be used with profit for many
years either as a grade building or as a
building for manual training or indus

FLEUKER PAYS EXPENSES.
Silver Lake Man Pays Bill for Care of
Young Woman Injured in Smashup.

Harold NJ. Fleuker of Silver Lake,
who was driving the automobile in
which Miss Elizabeth Blasky was SER
iously injured at Camp Lake. six weeks
ago, has shown a willingness to aid the
young woman in every way possible.
He has paid the entire bin for the med
zeal care of the injured woman at
Camp Lake and has notified the coun-
ty clerk that he will at once pay the
charges connected with the removal of
the young woman to her home and such
other bills as may have been contracted
by the county agent in taking care of
the case. The bill of the physicians
paid by Fleuker amounted to $144.5O
and it is probable that the entire cost
of caring for the young woman will be
close to $500.

the compensation on account Of age,
on the assumption that employees over
silky years old have fever persons de-
pendent upon them. This provision is
also designed to prevent discrimina-
ton against aged workmen. The lick
of such provision in the English law
mas seriously hampered the employment
Of men over ffty-fve OF sixty years
of age. A fourth special provision re-
duces compensation on account Of in
toxication Of employees and increases
it in cases where the employer has
been neglectful in providing proper
safeguards against accident.
Within short time the industrial
commission will be ready to furnish
printed copies Of the new act, with
explanatory notes.

HELD BY KANSAS CITY COURT
Attorney and Director of Railway Co.
There Charges Him With Obtaining
$4,000 on Representations That He
Planned to build large Ballast Plants.

E. J. Davy, formerly of Kenosha
and now secretary and treasurer Of the

arrested at Kansas City on a warrant

Railway Company, under false pre-
lenses. The warrant was issued on the
information of Edward j. Curtin as
sistant prosecuting attorney. Davy
was formerly connected with the plant
on West Grand avenue here, but he
left here three years ago and had been
very active in the business of the com
pany at Kansas City. His arrest will
undoubtedly come as great surprise to
many people in Kenosha.
Hutchings says Davy came to him

build two new plants for the manufac-
ture of rock ballast. One was to be at
Circleville, Tex, and the other at Fred
erick, Okla. According to Hutchings
Davy said he had one plant running at
Sealey, Tex, and had obtained large
contracts with several railroads to sup
ply them ballast.
Hutchings says gave Davy $4,000.

told him Dayy was checking this money
out of the bank. for his personal use and
had not invested any Of it in ballast
plants.

State Tax Commission has
New Bill to Increase Rev
enues from Years Taxes
HITS AT CORPORATIONS AGAIN

The Wisconsin tax commission intro
duced a bill seeking to amend the in
come tax law. The amendments, not
only include important changes in the
operation. of the law as they relate to
administration, but seek to increase
the rate of taxation on incomes deriv-
ed from corporation earnings. Royal
ties derived from mines are included
in the taxable incomes.
An important change relates to the
taxation of the incomes of non-resi-
dents of the state when the income is
derived from property located or bust
ductions on account Of wages or sal
aries paid are allowed in the new bill,
provided they are reasonable in amount
and for service rendered. Exemptions
are allowed upon inheritances which
are subject to and have complied with
I the inheritance tax laws. Provision is
made in the new bill for adding the
sums of wages received by members
of family in case Of children under
age and taxes are assessed against the
head Of the family.
Taxes to be assessed levied and col
lected upon the incomes of corpora
tions, joint stock companies or associa-
tions, after making exemptions are
computed at the following rates:
On the first $1,000 or any part
thereof 2 per cent.
On the second $1,000 or any part
thereof 215 per cent.
On the third $1,000 or any part
thereof per cent.
On the fourth $1,000 or any part
thereof 312 rers cent.
On the fifth $1,000 or any part
thereof 4 per cent.
On the sixth $1,000 or any part
thereof per cent.
On the seventh $1,000 or any part
thereof per cent.
On all incomes in excess Of $1,000
s per cent.
The place Of assessment as stated
in the new bill is the place Of resi-
denee on December 81 Of the income
1 year.
While in part the purpose Of the bill
is to clear up some needed amend
ments which the first year 5 operation
of the law discloses, the main object
to be sought is an increase of revenues
just to what extent this additional
burden will fall upon incomes received
from corporations cannot be stated at
this time, but it is conceded that the
amended bill has this in view.

SHERIFF SEEKS TWO SUSPECTS
Mau was Going to Barn to Get His
Horse When Set on by Man Who
Pulled Revolver and Fired Bullet
Through His Coat-Narrow Escape.

Deputies Of the sheriff S Office are
securing the eastern part of kenosha
county with warrants for the arrest
Of an unknown man who is alleged to
have attempted to murder William
Mau, well known Kenosha baseball
player, at house on South Ashland
avenue on last Tuesday night just be-
fore midnight. Mau had a remarkable
escape from death and while he has
given the entire story of the encounter
to the district attorney and members
of the sheriff s force he has not been
able to give a description of his as
sailant which will aid the officials in
fixing the guilt.
Early Tuesday evening Mau had
driven to house on South Ashland
avenue a short distance from the city
to spend the evening with young
lady friend. He had placed his horse
in the barn at the farm and just after
ten clock he had warning Of trou-
Bile. Looking through one of the win
dows of the house he saw a man az
tempting to peer into the window.
The man was shading his eyes and
his face with his hands and Mau could
not recognize him. He, however, at
once went out and made search about
the house but found nothing and he
returned to the house.
Just after eleven CLOCK he decided
to start from home and leaving the
house he started to the barn to get his
horse. He had gone into the barn yard
when man stepped out from behind
milk house and caught him by the
throat. Mau is an athlete and he at
once gave battle to his assailant.
Not word was said by the assailant,
but as the man went to the ground
he drew a revolver from his pocket
and pushing it close to the left side
of Mau pulled the trigger. Mau was
greatly excited and fell to the ground
and as he did the man released his
hold and fed. Mau got up and started
after him but the man evidently be-
1ieving that he had killed Mau ran for
The road and escaped. As Mau got up
eff the ground he saw a second man
standing in the barn yard and this
ran also took to his heels. The bull
let from the revolver had passed
through the coat of Mau just below
the heart leaving a hole which indi-
Gated that it was thirty-eight cali
bre weapon. Mau at once summoned
friends from the farm house and they
made a search about the house but
could find nothing of either of the
men. On Wednesday afternoon the
matter was laid before the district
attorney.
The case has its mysterious angles
Mau cannot account for the attack
made upon him, but in one way and
that is that it was made by some man
with whom he had trouble some time
ago. This man has not as yet been
found by the deputies. It is declared
that the young woman had nothing to
do with the attempted murder and her
name does not in any way figure in
the case.

Daily Kennebec journal., 1913-12-16

1t is reported, and on good authority,
that the abiding place of two families
on Ganentt street was enshrouded for
a day or two, last week, by an at
mosphere that was rather more dense
than agreeable, and all because of
mistaken identity on the part of a
member of one of the households, re-
garding a representative of the animal
kingdom. According to the story that
has been going the rounds of the
neighborhood, one of the families has
lost several pullets of late from some
unknown source, and the other day,
when the party referred to above heard
commotion out in the stable, they
lost no time in going out to see what
was the cause of the trouble. 1t took
but a glance to reveal the fact that
another pullet had been caught and
mutilated, and the same glance re-
vealed the presence of a small nose
in a hole in the floor to which the
pullet had been dragged. 1t was de-
eided that the slayer of the poultry
must be a weasel, and the head of the
family, bent on revenge arming him
self with fork handle, sat down by
the hole, by which the carcass of the
pullet had been left, to await develop
ments. He did not wait long before
he, too, saw the nose showing above
the edge of the hole in the floor, and
swinging the fork handle with a force
that would have felled bullock, he
smote the intruder between the eyes
and killed it, but it was no weasel.
