BULLEN ESTATE MUST PAY.
Estate of Descendant of Founder of
Kenosha to Pay Large Tax
to the State.

The United States Supreme Court in
Washington handed down decision on
Monday afternoon holding that the
estate of George Bullen, one of the
descendants of John Bullen, Jr., the
founder of Kenosha, must pay the
state an Inheritance tax of $4,000,
Notwithstanding the fact that the
100000 estate of Bullen was made
up of property owned in other states.
The case of the state of Wisconsin
against the estate of George Bullen,
who died September 10, 1908, at
Oconomowoc, and the trustees of the
estate, involved the question of the
right of the state of Wisconsin to tax
securities in the form of bonds and
mortgages, owned by Bullen and kept
In bank in Chicago. The state of
Wisconsin sued the trustees for inheri-
tance taxes on the securities, which
amounted to about $1,000,000, and
recovered judgment for $4,000, Trus-
tees and the benefciaries Of the
estate commended that the securities
were not taxable under the inheritance
fax law, because they had never been
in the state of Wisconsin, but had al
ways been held in Chicago. Five or
six years before Mr.. Bullen died, he
transferred to the trustees, for the
benefit of the members of his family,
these securities to be held in trust.
Mr.. Bullen spent only part of the
year at his home in Oconomowoc
The Supreme Court of Wisconsin held
that the securities were taxable under
the inheritance law of Wisconsin I'M
der the rule that personal property of
that character follows the person
of the owner and is taxable at his
domicile.

MRS. MCNEIL ASKS DIVORCE.
Well Known Woman Charges Husband
With Infidelity in Suit Filed in
Municipal Court Monday.


Charging infdehty and cruel and
inhuman treatment, Mrs. Luella Me-
Neil, through her attorney, George ".
Taylor, on Monday filed suit in the
Municipal Court, demanding a divorce
from her husband, Jay w. Mcneil.
The couple were married in Racine
twelve years ago, but they have spent
much of their married life in Kenosha.
Mrs. Mcneil bases her complaint on
the assertion that the husband at one
time pleaded guilty to a statutory
charge in the Municipal Court. At
this time the court suspended sentence
and Mcneil and his wife had been liv-
ing together until short time ago.
The name of the woman mentioned in
the criminal action against Mcneil is
not mentioned in the divorce action.
Mrs. Mcneil asks that she be awarded
the custody of the one minor child and
that she be given alimony for the sup
port and education of the boy. 1t is
probable that the case will come up
for an early hearing in the Municipal
Court and it is stated that the hus-
band will not contest the granting
of the decree.

FINDS HARD PROBLEM.
Judge Taylor Has Trouble Assessing In
heritance Tax in the Estate of
c. D. Holt

Judge George w. Taylor in the coun-
ty court this morning had a hard prob
lem presented to him in connection with
the assessing of the inheritance tax to
be paid on the estate Of the late Chris
topher d. Holt. The estate is valued at
$4,000 and it will be expected to pay
a considerable of inheritance tax. Pro-
visions of the will make it difficult to
assess the amount of the tax at this
time. Under the will the entire prop
erty was left to Frank Holt, the son,
provided he should survive his present
wife. Should he die first the will pro-
vides that the property goes to grand
children. The ultimate destiny of the
property has considerable to do with the
amount of the inheritance tax to be as
sessed. Judge Taylor took the matter
under advisement and will later confer
with members of the state tax commits
sion. This is the first time that just
such situation has been presented to
the local court.

BELDEN LOSES TO EsCHwETLER.
Milwaukee Man is Named Justice of
the Supreme Court by Plurality
of from 5000 to 10000.

Milwaukee Man is Named Justice of
the Supreme Court by Plurality
of from 5000 to 10000.
--latest returns from the judicial
election on Tuesday show conclusively
that Judge E. B. Belden of this cir
cult, has been defeated for the office
OF Justice of the Supreme Court by
Judge Franz Eschweiler of Milwau-
kee, and it is probable that the plur-
atty of the Milwaukee man will be
between five and ten thousand votes.
The latest returns indicate that Judge
William J. Turner Of Milwaukee ran
second in the race with Corrigan of
Milwaukee and Fowler Of Fond du
Lac finishing in the order named.
There is little reason to believe that
any belated returns will change the
order of the candidates in the race.
The returns from practically the entire
state show that Judge Eschweiler has
received in the neighborhood of
$4,000, Judge Turner $4,000 and Judge
Belden $4,000. Large gains from the
northern part of the state failed to
make possible the defeat Of Esch-
weller by Judge Belden. The defeat
of Judge Belden has come as a great
disappointment to his friends in
Kenosha.

ASKS FOR HUSBANDS PROPERTY
Mrs. Helen F. Seybold, Wife of Man
Shot Here, Seeks Personal
Property of Deceased.

The first letter from any of the
members of the family of George j.
Seybold, who was shot in Kenosha a
week ago last Sunday night, was re-
ceived by Chief of Police Owen
O'Hare this morning. 1t was from
Helen F. Seybold, the widow of the
man. She is living at st. Paul, MINI.
Mrs. Seybold expressed no criticism on
the action of the police officers, but
she asked that she be furnished with
all information possible in regard to
the tragedy. She also asked that all
of the personal belongings of her hus-
band be sent to her at St. Paul Sew
bold had trunk which is supposed to
have contained his personal effects, but
Sc far as the police know this trunk
was never sent to Kenosha. After the
death of the man a letter was sent to
the police department stating that a
trunk belonging to Seybold was held
By the Wells Fargo Express company
in Milwaukee. The company was
ordered today to ship this trunk to the
widow at St. Paul In her letter Mrs.
Seybold declared that she was desti-
tute. Chief O'Hare will have copies
of the evidence taken at the coroner IS
inquest transcribed and this win be
sent to Mrs. Seybold.

KEEP DISEASE FROM kENOSHA
Local Health Board Asks State Board to
Send Representatives to See That
Proper Quarantines Are Maintained
Many Cases Being Reported.

Officers of the Kenosha board of
health on Monday afternoon made a
formal complaint to the Wisconsin state
board of health asking that repre-
sentative of the board be sent to the
south limits of Kenosha county to make
an investigation of the epidemic of
measles now prevalent in that part of
the county and it is expected that some
representative of the board will reach
the county today or tomorrow.
Thus far few cases of measles have
been reported in the city, but there is
grave fear that the virulent type of the
disease now so much in evidence near
the state line will be communicated to
Kenosha.
In the infected district several deaths
have resulted from the disease and two
of these deaths have been among adults.
Two schools have been closed by or
ders of local health officials and the
closing Of two other schools is being
considered. Four students of the Ke-
nosha High school who reside in the
district where the measles are raging
have been ordered to remain away
from Kenosha until the epidemic is in
hand
GIVE asked the state board to make
an investigation, said DR.. ]. j. Nc
Shane, commissioner Of health, this
morning. "We do not mean this as a
criticism on the work of any local
health official, but we simply want to
have every possible assurance that Ke-
nosha is to be protected against measles
in this form. We are taking every
proper precaution to prevent the dis
ease being carried to kenosha by chill
Oh en- coming into the schools from that
district and thus far few cases of
measles have developed in the city.
There is always a number of cases of
measles at this period of the year, but
the cases have not been of the type
seen along the southern border of the
county"
It is claimed that there are some
thirty-fve cases Of measles in the mar
row district along the lake shore near
the state line and these cases are re-
ported from both Kenosha county in
Wisconsin and Lake county in Illinois.
Zion City officials have been very care
full to prevent the spread of the cpl
demic to that city.
For the first time in years the measles
are attacking adults and it is said that
almost as many grown people have suf-
fered from them as children. In nearly
every case where the adults have been
stricken, the disease has come follow
ing the nursing of children in the
households.
Kenosha parents have shown consid-
cradle alarm over the situation and for
this reason the appeal was made to the
state board. Secretary Harper inform
ed the local health officials that the
matter would be given the immediate
attention of the state board of health,
