GRANT NO EXEMPTION
State Tax Commission Holds Bond
holders of Corporations Must Pay.

The Wisconsin Gas and Electric
Company and similar rporations,
who have refused to pay income tax
assessed against bondholders in this
and other cities, will not be permitted
to turn in excess personal properly for
the payment Of income tax assessed
against the bondholders. This was de-
cided on Friday by the state tax COM
mission and while it is probable that
attorneys for the company will appeal
to the courts from the decision of the
commission the bondholders viii be
forced to pay the tax pending the de-
cision of the courts. The tax commits
sion holds that this is not double tax
alton and declares that it is ready to
meet any such contention in the
courts if necessary. Nothing has as
yet been done with the formal protest
against the payment of these taxes.
In kenosha. The city attorney has
been unoficially advised that such a
protest was filed, but he will proceed
to the collection Of this tax the same
as any other delinquent income tax.

MANLY ART NOT DEAD.
Kenosha Club Members Have Interest.
ing Boxing Bouts Friday Evening.

The manly art of self-defense is not
dead in Kenosha and notwithstanding
the fact that Chicago promoters have
been barred from making Kenosha
their rallying ground the Kenosha boys
are still enjoying boxing bouts. On
Friday evening the regular monthly
show of the athletic Club" took
place at the club rooms on Main street,
and although five classy little bouts
were put on during the evening there
was no frantic rush of the police off
GERS to stop the boxers. In fact there
was no effort made to stop the boys who
kept their matches as near within the
law as was possible. The windup at
the entertainment was between Art
Van VIE and Young Lancey and they
boxed six rounds to draw. Four other
bouts were put on during the evening
About hundred people witnessed the
bouts.

NO BACK UP ON STAND TAKEN
Directors Will Insist That Members of
association Sign No Contracts Until
Demands Of AS ociation Have Been
Granted by the Beet Factories.

There IS to be no backing up in the
stand that has been taken by the beet
growers of Racine. and Kenosha county
and the directors Of the Inter-C County
Association in session at the court
house here on Friday afternoon laid
plans for determined fight which had
for its end the forcing of the manu-
facturers of beet sugar to come to their
terms or the end of the beet growing
industry in the two counties. Direc-
tors representing twenty shipping plat
forms and more than 400 of the beet
growers were present at the meeting
and it was declared that the members
of the association were all ready to
stand firm for the original demands
made by the association. The directors
laid down the rule that they would not
consider support for contract offered
by any Of the beet companies which
did not provide that the beets be
weighed and tared at the shipping sta
ton. Every member of the board of
directors agreed to this provision. It is
held that the men who raise the beets
had the right to see them weighed and
secure duplicate weight slips and that
they also had right to know how
muchaof the product was to be lost as
tare. In the contracts that have been
sent out by the companies for the new
year the provision is made that the
beets be loaded on cars at the shipping
points, but they must be weighed and
tared after they reach the factories.
The full proceedings of the board of
directors were not made public but
after the meeting was over President
August Piper of Berryville, said:
GIVE are going to the shippers with
every force we can enlist and we feel
certain that every grower of beets in
the two counties will see the necessity
of standing with the association in the
demands that have been made in regard
to the new contracts. IF there is not
united action the work of the associa-
tion can not succeed. Every demand
that has been made on the beet buyers
is a fair one both to the buyer and to
the raiser of the beets. We have de-
manded nothing that can not be COM
piled with and at the same time allow
the factories to make a legitimate
profit. We hold that the raiser of the
beets is entitled to the same considera-
ton as the man whe buys them. =
Members of the association will be
sent letters showing just what has been
done by the directors Of the organiza-
ton and they will be urged to with
hold their signatures from any con-
tracts until the demands made by the
association are met by the beet fac
tories. It is possible that the work of
the association will result in contracts
being made with entirely new compan-
les this year as the raisers are fully
aroused and enthusiastic over what
they term GA Square Deal Policy

Former Kenosha Man Said
to Have Married With a
Former Wife Living.
FIRST WIFE STARTS SEARCH

Police officials of Waukegan and
Kenosha are making every effort to
locate Ernest Perrotti an Italian, who
on October 10, 1910, went to Waul1e-
gan from Kenosha and secured mar
riage license to wed Louise Goironba,
young woman residing in Kenosha.
A warrant has been sworn out against
him charging him with bigamy as it
is said he had another wife when he
welded Miss Goironba in Waukegan.
Indications are that the fellow has
gone to Detroit, Mich, and the police
officials Of that city have been asked
to keep lookout for him and there
seems to be an indication they will
locate him there.
A brother of the second Mrs. Per-
rotti has been in Waukegan off and on
for the last few days, looking up data
finding when the license was taken
out and when the couple were married.
He came all the way from Georgia to
investigate the facts for his sister.
After being married at Waukegan
Mr.. and Mrs. Perrotti returned to Ke-
nosha and lived here until recently
without any charge of bigamy being
made. Then suddenly Perrotti disap-
peared and nothing more was heard
off him.
A few days later a woman came to
Kenosha from Chicago and claimed to
have been Perrotti Is first wife. She
said she had been looking for him for
some time and had just been able to
locate him. Some think that possibly
Perrotti may have learned that his
alleged first wife had located him in
Kenosha and intended to- make trouble
for him and that possibly he de-.
cided that the best plan would
be to skip out.
The first wife accompanied the
brother of the second wife to Wauke-
gan and helped him run down the
facts in the case. To police officials
she announced she would do all in her
power to see that her husband was
brought to justice for what she claims
is wrong to herself and to the other
woman in the case.
Perrotti is well known to Italians
in Kenosha and has been resident
Of the city for many years.

WANT LATER DELIVERY.
Main st. Merchants Ask Postmaster
for Five O'clock Mail Delivery.

A committee representing the Main
street business men visited Postmaster
Robert Verne Baker this morning ana
asked that some arrangements be made
for later mail deliveries In the down
town districts of the city. AT the
present time there is no delivery Of
mail after three o'clock in the after
noon and mails arriving after that
time must be held until the morning
delivery. The merchants have asked
for a delivery at five o'clock in order
to make possible the filing of orders
on the same day they are received at
the Office. Postmaster Baker will take
the matter up with the department. at
once and he is hopeful that an added
carrier will be allowed 50 as to make
the later delivery possible.

MAY INCREASE PAY
Of County Boards
May Get Higher Salaries
Under New State Law.
COMMISSION FOR COUNTIES

Members Of county boards may be
Empowered to increase the salaries of
the members of succeeding county
boards If the Rosa motion for re-
consideration Of the Hanson bill pre-
walls. On Tuesday the Hanson bill
was killed by close vote. This meas
ure gave county boards the power to
fix their own salaries. Under 20 cir
cumstances was their per diem to ex-
coed So. The rate fixed by the pres
ent law is So per day. The objection
to the bill was that it would allow any
county board to fix its own salary.
This was considered dangerous prece-
dence. Assemblyman Rosa of Beloit
has asked for a reconsideration of
the vote by which the measure was
slaughtered. He will then offer sub
stitute bill. This will provide that
present county boards may fix the
salaries of incoming county boards.
Assemblyman Hurlbut will present
his bill early next week providing for
a commission form of government in
counties. The measure is optional
and permits a county board to sub
nit the question to the vote of the
people. 1t is understood that bill
will be offered by one of the demo-
cratic members intending to make
the commission form of government
in counties compulsory. Both of these
measures will be referred to the COM
mittee on state affairs of which AS
semblyman Axel Johnson is chairman.

HIGGINS HOME BURNED.
Old Land Mark on the Plank Road Is
Destroyed by Fire Friday Afternoon.

The old Fred Higgins home in the
town of Pleasant Prairie, situated two
miles west of the city on the Prairie
avenue road, was completely destroyed
by fire at two o'clock Friday after
noon The house had been rented by
Joseph Christman and his mother-in-
law, Mrs. Valentine Eppers. The two
had considerable furniture in the house
but the fire spread with such rapidly
that it was impossible to save either
the building or the furniture. The fire
is supposed to have originated from a
defective fue. The house was one of
the old land marks on the plank road
and it was built many years ago by the
late Fitch Higgins.

At the same time it does no harm
for the retailers association to stir
up the public service corporations oc
casionally even if the merchants get
no satisfaction other than seeing what
excuses the managers have to offer.
In this connection it may be mention
ed that the excuse that the service is
no worse here than in other cities is
a poor one. The merchants are not
particularly interested in any troubles
Sxcept their own and if they can get
fairly efficient service here in Keno
sha they are perfectly willing to let
other cities fight their own battles.

General Order No. 10.

/. Enlisted men and apprentice sea-
men at this station are reminded that
the articles for the government of the
navy provide that "offenses commit
ted on the shore shall be punished in
the same manner as if they had been
committed at sea-"
.. Misconduct outside the limits of
this station not only disgraces the
naval uniform, but it very properly
subjects the enlisted men to arrest
and punishment by civil authorities.
5. Enlisted men are enjoined to
conduct themselves with strict proprie-
tN at all times while on liberty, and
to carefully avoid even the appearance
of insult, injury or molestation to any
person in civil life.
4. Offenses of this nature should
be Immediately reported to the execu-
tive officer Of this station, and if not
handled by civil authorities they will
be punished to the limit of the naval
regulations.

in Chicago Sought in Kenosha.

Ke4osha police officers were busy
today making an effort to find some
trace of Frank Tolls, a Greek, 30 years
Of age who is wanted in Chicago on
a charge of criminally assaulting a
Chicago woman. The crime was COM
mitted on Friday and it was alleged
that the Greek had bought ticket
to Kenosha at an early hour this
morning. Every train coming into
the city from the south was met by a
police officer, but no one answering
the description of the Greek was
found. Detectives from Chicago are
expected here later to make a search
for the man.
