Total Tax Must Be Greater

The future tax budgets of Wisconsin will have to be much
greater time passes continue building better plants

would be the agreeable solution goes without argument
and raises the question; How may this be doneY

developed Their full agricultural and industrial development

SS|ONERS
WILL NOT RESIGN
Although Harbor Board Did Not
Receive An Appropriation.

1t is not the intention of the
Board of Harbor Commissioners to
resign their positions even if the
Board of Aldermen did omit the
board in its budget passed on its
first reading at the council meeting
Monday night. according to Presi-
dent Richard A. Bolger. In refer
ring to the matter he said: "It is
a pity, but we will continue to do
our work as far as possible, and 1t
will be up to the council II we fail
to accomplish anything of import
ance." He said he thought the COM
missioners would go before the
council at an early meeting and ex-
plain to that body exactly the status
of the case.
Mr.. Bolger thought the harbor
board could not carry out its plan
to employ a harbor master for the
coming year, unless an appropria-
tion were made in the city budget
for the boards expenses. Mr.. Boil
ger considered that the real useful
ness Of the board would be altogeth-
er handicapped If the council con-
tinues to persistently desist from
allowing them money for working
purposes.

Washington, Dec. 4:-President
Wilson's cold was reported to be
yielding to treatment today, but his
physician, DR.. Perry NJ. Grayson, in
sisted the executive should not visit
his offices. This means that the ma
tional convention of women suffra-
gettes, now in session, will be unable
to resort to the militant methods
they have threatened, so far as the
President is concerned. The commit
tee named by the convention to up
braid the President for his failure to
declare for suffrage in his annual
message will have to take it all out
on Secretary Tumulty, and as Tumul-
ty said he favors the cause it is un-
likely that any of the windows of the
executive offices will be broken.

Quick Action by PatroIman
Jensen-CampbeIl Jailed.

Pluck and quick action probably
saved Patrolman Andrew Jensen
from serious injury when he was at
tackled from behind by a burly negro
whom he arrested at IL o'clock to-
day. The man, Frank Campbell,
thirty-eight years old, of At Cutter
street, Newark, sprang upon the Of
ficer and bore him to the ground
In the tussle that ensued, Jensen
came out on top. His trousers were
badly torn, his uniform otherwise
mussed up and he was bruised about
the legs.
The officer was sent in response to
repeated calls from residents about
New Brunswick avenue and Ogden
place. They began to arrive at po-
lice headquarters shortly before noon
The negro was accused of molesttng
white women in their homes about
that section. In one instance, 1t Is
claimed, he pushed a door into Wo-
mans face, In vain effort to enter
her home. In another, woman mar
rowly prevented him from entering
her home by slamming door in his
face.
Patrolman Jensen was telephoning
for the city patrol from the police
call box at New Brunswick avenue
and Amboy avenue, when he was at
tackled. His call for the auto was
cut short by the grasp of Campbell.
Jensen was pounced upon unawares
and pushed to the ground. Follow
ing a battle, the negro was oyerpoW-
cred and held captive.
Charges of disorderly conduct and
resisting an officer were made
against him. The compliments were
Anders Jensen, Mrs. Mabel Mccoy
and Patrolman Jensen.

Peculiar Side Lights in Strug-

dray Refuses to Furnish Fuel
Oil to Mexican Railroads.
ADDRESS NOT PUBLISHED
To Save Oil Tanks and Wells
for u. S. Plans To HoOdWink
Rebels Are Afoot-InSpired
BY Oil Companies.
Special by United Press Wire.


Mexico City, Dec. peculiar side
lights on the struggle of giant forces,
which is going on in secret to force
Provisional President Huerta out of
power, came here today when discov-
cry of the true inwardness of the
announced refusal of Lord Cowdray' s
company to longer furnish fuel oil
to the national railroads OF Mexico
on which Huerta relies to keep his
trains moving. To save the great oil
tanks and wells at Tuxtan the United
States, it now neems. has acquiesced
in a plan to hoodwink the rebels and
protect British investments. The
first news of abrogation of the fuel
oil contracts by the British oil COM
panies with the Mexican railways,
was given out by Nelson O'Shaugh-
messy, American charge d'affaires. 1t
now appears that this statement was
inspired by the oil companies. The
rebel commander at TuXtan Is said
to have promised immunity from at
tack if the company would cease
furnishing oil for the railways In
present control. The abrogation
statement, it is now said, was given
out solely for rebel consumption
while Huertas lines will get the
necessary oil.

Last Regular Session Of Year
Is Held Tonight.

The Board of Excise Commission
ers will hold its last regular meet
ing of the year tonight in the coun-
Gil chamber of city hall. 1t is not
expected that proposed changes in
the rules and regulations of the
board will be taken up until the
following meeting in January, when
Commissioner-elect John A. Bird
will take his seat. Provisions will
probably be made tonight to nullify
all existing permits for cabaret
shows after January /.
1t is the intention of the commits
sioners to maintain an open ballot
and to vote in a like manner on
all applications for permits to keep
cabaret shows and other entertain
ment In drinking places. Heretofore
such permits have been granted pro-
miscuously by one or more Of the
commissioners as they saw fit. Shows
licensed to be conducted next year
must be run strictly IN accordance
with rules governing them, such as
1t is intended to lay down. 1t is
expected that the hours will be
shortened, that the performers must
be of good character and that they
must confne their performances to
a platform, stage or roped space
within the cabaret hall. AS sub
stitute for such action, the COM
missioners may decide to eliminate
cabaret shows altogether.
Among the applications to be
acted upon tonight is one of John
J. Farrow Jr., for the hotel license
of Frank Guile in the Raritan Bridge
hotel, at Market and Prospect
streets; one of Benjamin Pawlosky
for the saloon license of Joseph

Emmeline Pankhurst was arrested

Majestic on which she returned from

By clever ruse the police took Mrs.

sighted outside the harbor a police
boat put off to her. At the same
time the suffragettes started out by

government boat had met the Ma
jestic off Devonport and Mrs. Pank-
hurst had been taken off and sent
on her way to London. Nevertheless
the Plymouth militants solemnly
boarded the Majestic followed by the
militant body guard. They went to
Mrs. Pankhurst's stateroom and not
until then did the women know they
had been forestalled.
Great crowds thronged the quays
