CHICAGO DOCTOR REFUSED TO
OPERATE ON CHILD.
Declared That Infant Was Deformed
and Braves Criticism for His Act
Big Problem.

Chicago, Nov. 19-Baby Bollinger is
dead. Deformed, partly paralyzed
and subnormal of brain, the human
mite, whose life was held in the hand
of DR.. H. ]. Haiselden, was allowed to
slip back peacefully into the shadowy
mystery whence he came.
Five days was the span of his life.
He came as do all humans, breathed
the breath of life, partook Of food,
then slept the unending sleep at the
German-American hospital.
Yet he left behind him nation agi.
tated by his existence to degree few
full lives bring to pass.
His going crowded before the eyes
of every living parent the burning
question:
Has a physician the right to judge
whether life appearing on earth has
by reason of deformities and physical
handicaps. right or no right to be
saved?
Doctor Haiselden says he could have
saved the baby by an operation to
complete its digestive system. But
the partial paralysis. the current NAL
formations, he declared. were so great
bar to happiness or attainment that
he did not feel justified in saving the
baby from the death which nature or
dained.
Chicago, Nov. ga jury of Chica
go physicians decided on Friday thai
society has the right to refuse life tt
baby born hopelessly defective. DR.
Harry ]. Haiselden was exoneratet
from blame.

MAKING BID FOR LEAD
WOOD COUNTY STANDS HIGH IN
STATE AS DAIRY CENTER.
Has Twenty-eight Cheese Factories
and Nineteen creameries-Far-
mers Keep Testing Records

Grand Rapids.-Some twenty
years ago Dean Henry of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin caused a small sem
sation in the southern part of the
state by making the statement that
great dairy community would be
developed in central Wisconsin that
would rival that Of the southern
counties, and it has proved to be the
case. At the present time the CEN
trail Wisconsin district is as good a
dairying section as can be found any
where.
The soil of Wood county, which is
in the heart Of the dairying section,
is in the southern portion a marsh
land and on this territory is raised
some of the best cranberries of the
world. In the northern three-quar-
tiers is a heavier clay soil and makes
an excellent dairying community.
Corn, grains, alfalfa, clover and po-
tatoes are good crops on this soil and
the dairy COW is found here in album
dance. Nearly every corner supports
a creamery or cheese factory and sell
dom is farmer found who doesn't
get his monthly cream check.
The territory supports two breed
ers associations, the Central Wiscon-
sin Holstein Breeders association and
the Central Guernsey Breeders asso-
citation. Regular testing records are
kept and every farmer knows just
which cows are paying and how much
they pay. With twenty-eight cheese
factories and nineteen creameries,
Wood county is making strong bid
for the leading dairying section of
the state.

GORITz FORTS RAzED
AUSTRIAN DEFENsEs REPORTED
SHOT TO PIECES BY ITALIAN
ARTILLERY.
FALL OF TRIESTE is NEAR7
Bombardment of Fortifications and
Battle Along Isonzo Has Been In
Progress for TWO Weeks-Germans
Capture NovIpazar, Says Berlin.

Geneva, Nov. 90, via Paris.--It is re-
ported unofficially in dispatches from
Laibach, Austria, that the fortifica-
lions of Goritz have been almost de-
stroyed by the Italian artillery.
Intense bombardment of Austrian
position in the Goritz zone of Italian
artillery continues, according to the
official statement issued at Rome. A
successful attack was begun north
west of Oslava and Italian infantry
obtained a firm footing on part OF the
summit of Monte San Michele.
The bombardment of Goritz and
the battle which has been in progress
on the Isonzo front for the last two
weeks has been marked by some of
the bitterest fighting on any front
during the war. The Italians already
hold Monfalcone, and this. with the
capture of Goritz, which seems near,
probably means the early fall of
Trieste to the Italians, which would
give the best part of Austria's coast
line to Italy.
The Serbisn town of Novipazar,
which is only twenty-five miles from
the Montenegrin frontier, has been
taken by the Germans. This an
nouncement was made by the war of
fee at Berlin, which reported also the
capture Of 4,400 Serbians on Sunday.
The Serbian legation at Rome re-
ports an important Serbian victory at
Leskovats, in the Nish district, after a
battle lasting several days. The Bull
garian losses, the legation adds, we're
enormous.

TAX BOARD ECONOMIES
State Commission Drops Four of
Seven Investigators Who Were
Digesting Figures.

Madison.-The tax commission is
dropping four of the seven investi-
gators who have been digesting fig
ures from real estate sales to give a
basis for valuation for taxes. The
work will be done by income tax as
SCISSORS from now on. The three in
vestigators retained will visit the as
SCISSORS and explain the work. The
system consists in making an aver
age of the ratio of sale prices to as
sessed valuation for five years run
ming, and applying this ratio to all
property in the county. The five
year period is long enough to eIimf-
nate results in local fluctuations in
real estate.

MUNDAY IS GUILTY
CONVICTED AS WREcKER OF CHI
cAco BANK AND ITS sU5sI-
DIARIES BY JURY.
GETS FIVE YEARS IN JAIL
Associate of Former Senator LorImer
on Verge of Nervous Collapse az
Verdict ls Rendered--Jurors Out
Six Hours-Two Others Face Trial.

Morris, ILL.,, Nov. 22.-Late Friday
Charles B. Munday was found guilty
of having conspired with former Sem
ator William e. Lorimer and others to
wreck the La Sale Street Trust and
Savings bank and its four Chicago
subsidiaries.
The jury fixed his punishment at
five years in the penitentiary, the
greatest sentence it could impose.
Although the jurors were out for six
hours. it required only few moments
for them to fix the guilt of the indicted
banker. Only two ballots was taken.
They were unanimous In their belief
that Munday, as vice-president of the
LaSalle Street bank, conspirsl with
William Lorimer. erstwhile United
States senator, and H. w. Huttig OF
Muscatine, Ia. to loot the bank and
its allied concerns out of more than
100000.
Munday was pale and nervous when
the verdict was being read and gazed
pitiably at Judge Slough. He refused
to discuss the case.
Arguments on the motion for a new
trial will be deferred for ten days 1T
was announced. States Attorney
Hoyne announced that the trials of
Lorimer and Huttig on similar indict-
ments will take place the first part Of
next year.
Under double guard and behind
locked doors the Jurors began their
deliberation shortly after 4 p. m. on
Friday.
The evidence included bank records
and letters between Munday, William
Lorimer and H. w. HIttig. The lat
ter two were indicted with the defend
ant on charge of conspiracy to de-
fraud depositors and others out Of
more than 100000.
Assistant States Attorney Hayden
N. Bell closed his plea for conviction
at the noon recess. His address con-
tanned the startling charge that not
only had Munday and his fellow con-
spirators wrecked the La Sale Trust
and its subsidiary banks, but also that
$92S,000 Of the alleged loot had been
traced directly into Mundays pockets
and not word of explanation had
been offered as to its whereabouts.
Following the prosecutors final
argument, Judge Samuel C. Slough
read his instructions to the Jury.
The instructions were in some re-
spects unfavorable to the indicted
banker, while in others the prosecu-
ton was hit herd. 1t required near
ly two hours to read those instruc-
tons, which covered every count In
the indictment.
The heaviest blow dealt the defense
was when Judge Slough declared that
the law provides that the capital
stock and surplus of banks about to
be organized must be paid in cash
and not In notes or other securities.
The mere failure of the banks.
causing enormous losses to deposit
tors and others, the court declared.
would be insufficient evidence upon
which to base verdict of guilty.
