4 f.a,uros No definite conclusions were
r. r.ocbad but several salient facts were
: ...,,ba sized AT the close Of tile meeting.
= r.,ess were epltomized in the following
r statement;
The tax is unjust. :,
- There is no similar tax on sales OF
4-cot.on, coffee, grain, metals and dry
!. goods. -,
: The doubling OF the tax will 'undoubt-
g .dly contract the volume OF transao-
: i;ons on the Stock Exchange and the
!. revenue will not come up TO expecta-
: tions.
A very considerable amount OF busl-
; ness will undoubtedly leave the state.
- The market will be narrowed, and as
,r ,rnsrketabIIty m adds to value, ITS loss
: will proporti ionately decrease values.
London has been made the financial
eentre Of the world by its free and un-
restricted banking and Stock Exchange
business.
New York has become the centre OF
th. New World in the same way. This
proposed increase would unquestlonably
prove a blow to the importance OF the
City and State Of New York.

a petition 10 Senators and Assemolymen
at Albany declaring that the passage OF
such bill would greatly harm their in

by ]. F. Bryne of Zeane, Zayas Potts
reads as follows:
We. the undersigned employees of New

spectfully and earnestly protest 70 tht
bonorabl Senators and AssemblYlnen az
Albany against the proposed increase OF
fhe tax on stock transfers as being
against our interests and jeopardlzinS our
livelihood and as being an onerouS anu
oiscrirniuating tax aimed al a single IN

excess exempts other lines OF business
from helping TO defray the expense or
the state, and which should be borne oy
all alike.
Approximately eight hundred signatures
have already been attached 10 this peti-
ton.
In discussing the proposed tax increase
Charles p. Holzderber, of Henry Clews a

The Rev. Theodore Faville
Accepts Call to the First
Congregational Church.
WILL BEGIN WORK IN MARCH

The Rev. Theodore r. Faville, now
located at Greenwich, Conn.,, has been
called to the pastorate of the First
Congregational Church of this city.
| He has accepted the call and will be-
gin his work here about March 1st.
He comes of a family Of ministers,
his father, DR.. Henry Faville, having
been pastor Of the Congregational
| Church at Lacrosse, Wis.,, for the past
twentyfour years, and his father s
twin brother, DR.. John Faville, has
been pastor Of the church in Appleton,
this state, for many years They rank
with the strongest and most success
full ministers Of the Congregations
Church in Wisconsin.
Theodore Faville was born in Wis
consin, educated as boy in the schools
of Lacrosse and later graduated at
Beloit College. He studied at Yale
Divinity School for some time and
then at Union Theological Seminary
New York City, where he took his
degree. For three years following he

Contributory Negligence of
WOrkmen to be Source for
Hard Fight at Madison.
FACTORY men WILL Be HEARD

No action will be taken on the bills
doing away with contributorJ negli-
gence as a defense in all actions be-
tween servant and master providing
that unless a manufacturer elects not
to come under the Workmen s dompen-
sation act that he shall be considered
under the act for some time ito come.
The reason for this is that it has been
decided that so many changes are
necessary in the law that it will be
best to have the whole measure re-
drafted and the bill containing all the
proposed amendments to the law in it's
completed form will be arranged by
the industrial commission.
The clauses proposed by separate
bills, those Of doing away with the
defense Of contributory negligence
and providing for the change as re-
CARDS the election will be Incorporated
in the re-drafted bill There will also
be clauses in the re-drafted bill fixing
a certain amount of compensation for
all classes Of injuries.
The amounts at which the compen-
sation will be allowed will be about
the amounts now granted under the
New Jersey compensation act. Some
slight changes will also be made in
the powers of the commission as re-
CARDS the administration of the law,
these amendments being changes
which the commission considers neces-
sary after careful consideration of
the work they have accomplished in
carrying out the terms of the law.
The new bill will be ready before
the expiration of the time for intro
ducing new business, but despite this
fact it may come in as a committee
bill for the reason that members of
the commission think it is likely that
it should be given committee consid-
Grafton before it's introduction.
There will be opposition to the
clauses doing away with contributory
negligence as a defense and making
an election imperative on the en-
ployer of labor if he does not desire
to come under the law. Several en-
ployers of labor who are not under the
law have already written to members
Of the legislature stating that they
are opposed co the doing away with
the defense of contributory negligence
and also do not consider the plan to
make the election by the manufacture
er necessary to keep him outside the
provisions of the law good move
from their point of view and that they
desire to be heard upon the measure.
It is understood, however, that both
of these amendments to the law are
very likely to be adopted.

SETTLES WITH STATE.
County Treasurer Hartman Made Full
Settlement with State on Saturday.

County Treasurer Philip Hartman, Jr.,
made full settlement of the financial
transactions between the county and
the state on Saturday when he sent to
the State Treasurer a draft for $685.
513.1S, this representing the difference
between the amounts assessed against
the county and the amount returned as
school taxes. The total assessment for
the county was 51,499.11, and the
amount of the school taxes returned was
$27, 1898. This latter sum has been
divided between the towns and the city
and has been added to the various
school funds. City Treasurer Steinmetz
has made the full settlement with the
County Treasurer for the city, the to-
tai amount paid being $5S,612.9s,

charge, will give the measures careful
attention, and there will probably be
some strong arguments made On both
sides of the measure. There is a
strong undercurrent in this legislature
in favor of holding the primary cleo
tion day at time which is more con-
venient for the farmers if a day can
be chosen which is not so far away
from the general election day as the
first Tuesday in April.
There are some also who see objec-
ton to the first Tuesday in April be-
ing chosen as a primary election day
for the reason that not only are the
town meetings held on that day, but
also municipal elections in many cities
Of the state, and they believe this
would be inadvisable and tend to have
the effect of injecting state issues in
to municipal elections.
Save for possible change in time
WACu OnG pl4AucbiAOo IAuJ w llCAO3
there is not likely to be any change
in the primary election law of great
Importance at this legislative session,
as most of the members seem willing
to let well enough alone and do not
seem inclined to tamper very much
with the primary election question as
regards any of the main subjects en-
braeed III the law.
There is some talk of asking a
change in the form Of the notice for
the primary election, but this talk is
not expected to crystalline into legis-
lation. At least there are no very
definite plans on the subject yet APP
parent.

FOUR REGISTRATION DAYS.
Voters Have Plenty of Time to Get

Kenosha is not going to have any

City Clerk Harrington has announced
that under the law there will be four

ing the new registration of the cleo
tors of the city will start on March
10 and the polling places win be kept
open for two days. On primary day
the voters viii have another chance
to register and g last registration day
will be set for March 25th The clerk
believes that this will make it posi-
bic for every voter in the city to see
to it that his name is on the list.

SON SHOOTS FATHER.
Three Year Old Boy Fires Air Gun But

1AI06 ! ear OlQ hoy Tres A1T Guu buG-
let Into Face of B. Antramian.
Kenosha had it's regular shooting af-
fray ON Sunday, but this time the
shooting was accidental. Early Sun
day afternoon while Bedros Antramian
a well known Armenian, was sleeping
on the couch at his home on Edward
street, his three year old son decided
to try out an air gun and pointing the
gun at his sleeping father he pulled
the trigger. His aim was remarkably
good and the bullet struck the father
in the cheek just to the right of the
nose and il came with such force that
it buried itself in the flesh to the
depth of half an inch. Dr. McCrack-
en- was called to dress the wound and
he declared that while it was not dan
gerous it was extremely painful.
Young Antramian was decidedly peni-
tent, but the father has had the air
gun confscated and the boys tendency
to become mighty hunter or gun
man will be checked at once.
