SENTENCE GRANTED.
FACES LIFE IMPRISONMENT
Defendant In Sensational Murder Trial
Near Breakdown For First
Time-Motion For New
Trial to be Argued

Minneapolis, Jan. 17-Frederick T.
Price was convicted of murder in the
first degree by a jury that reported
to Judge Fish at 12:40 p. m. Saturday.
On motion of M. G. Brady, attorney
for Price, Judge Fish granted a stay
OF sentence until Wednesday, when a
motion for new trial on the ground
OF newly discovered evidence and al
legged errors occurring i'm the conduct
of the trial will be argued.
Under the verdict only one sentence,
life Imprisonment, can be imposed
Price Appears Nervous.
More nervous than he had appeared
since the trial began, Price was led
into the court room five minutes be-
fore the jurors filed i'm. His hands
were trembling and his chin quivered
AS he saw the crowd that filled every
seat in the small court room in which
Judge Fish received the verdict, he
pulled himself together and, outward
ly calm, waited while Judge Fish took
the bench and A. E. Frost, deputy
clerk of the district court, called the
roll Of jurors.
Gentlemen, have you agreed on a
verdict asked Mr.. Frost and there
was tense silence in the court room
as James G. Balm, first venireman
chosen and the foreman of the jury,
replied, eve have"

Every eye was riveted on the pris-
Oner as Mr.. Frost received the YER
dict, handed it to Judge Fish and then
when the court had passed it back,
read the words:
eve, the jury, find the defendant,
Frederick T. Price, guilty as charged
in the indictment"
During the wait for the verdict Price
sat at a table, just behind his attor-
ney, M. G. Brady. Brady was nervous.
Price sat quietly and looked about the
room, then casually at the soberfaced
jurors.
But his right hand, resting on the
table, tapped little tattoo, the one
sign that he knew he was facing his
great climax. The verdict was read:

Big Infant Death Rate.

Due to incomplete reporting OF
births or to existence OF so-called
baby farms" or to combina-
ton Of both, several counties of the
state show an abnormally high death
rate among infants, according to ia
bles for 1914 compiled by the bureau
of vital statistics. In the counties Of
Milwaukee, Racine, Kenosha, Ashland,
Sheboygan, Chippewa, Oneida, Iowa
and Kewaunee the death rate for in
fants per 1000 births was more than
100 for the year named
Whatever injustice may appear
against these counties by the high
death rates attributed to them is blam-
able in large measure, it is believed,
to the fact that the death rate was
computed upon a basis afforded by
complete death statistics and incom-
plete birth records.
The counties showing the lowest in.
FAINT mortality are Florence, with a
rate Of 1872, and Door and Burnett.
Each is a sparsely sett}ad unit. Coun.
ties having cities Of importance natur-
ally show higher rates Of mortality.

5000 population and their birth and
death rates follow, the first column

Report on Cheese.

Report on Cheese.
Although the average price for
American cheese on the Wisconsin
dairy boards reached II cents per
pound in December, the average for
the year was 1434 cents Pc" pound.
There was a falling off OF 571.474
pounds sold over the dairy board as
compared to 1914, the closing Of the
Seymour and Mineral Point boards
for the year and that of the Muscoda
board in August being the principal
reason, although there was falling
off of nearly 100000 pounds on the
Plymouth board due to the Sheboygan
County Cheese federation handling
the product for many of the factories
in this county.
But at that the TWO boards in She
boygan county, at ShebOygan and Ply
mouth handled practically three
fourths of the cheese sold over the
boards in the state in 1915. or total
Of 6,O2S,609 pounds.
The reports of the five dairy boards
in Wisconsin for 1915 show that 49,
Ais boxes totaling 8,287,734 pounds
were sold for $1,222, 448.14.
During the first half Of the year
1915 the export demand for cheese
kept stocks pretty well cleaned up.
but that trade began to fall off about
the middle of the year.

BADGER BANKS IN

Submits Annual Report.
BIG INCREASE IN RESOURCES
Statement of the Wisconsin Official

Big Borrowers.

Madison.-State Banking Commits
sion A. E. Koult filed his annual re-
port on banks in Wisconsin with Gov
ernor Philip. The commissioner said
In his report that the condition Of Wis
consin banks was gratifying.
There are 688 state banks, four mu-
tual savings banks and fifteen trust
companies doing business under the
Wisconsin state laws.
The aggregate capital investment of
these institutions OF November 10 last
was $22,S98,25O, which was a gain OF
81, 078,300 over that during the proceed
ing twelve months The total resources
of the institutions were $3.50, 941, 1923,
an increase Of $15, $3.50, 1875 for the year.
The commissioner said that the
heavy demand upon the resources Of
the banks during the previous year OF
financial disturbance had been adjust
ed and a return to normal standards
payable and rediscOunts was 81, 491 ,582
and the increase in deposits was $14,-
987 81 The average reserve increased
during the year from 19 to Il per cent.
The commissioner said that the banks
were in a position to supply their GUS
toners with sufficient funds to take
care Of any reasonable demand that
might be made upon them.
The commissioner said that one of
the obstacles which have deferred
bopIyc from {poroociu0 fboir 10 NIT a |
when deposits warranted had been the
taxing of banks upon their capital and
surplus. If the tax was levied on the
income instead of the capital and sur
plus he believed that many more of
the banks would voluntarily increase
their capital stock. He recommended
that the increase in capital stock be
based on the deposits Of a bank in
stead of upon the population of the
city or village in which the bank was
located.
The commissioner recommended
that limitations on loans TO person,
copartnership or corporation be re-
duced from 80 to 20 per cent of the
capital and surplus of bank and that
the limitations on loans approved by
the board of directors be reduced from
SO to 80 per cent of the capital and
surplus of a bank. The report con-
tains detailed statements on the re-
sources and liabilities Of the state
banks and trust companies of Wiscon-
sin and other information regarding
their operation during the last year.
The report will be printed and may be
secured by persons interested on ap-
plication to the commissioner.

SALTS If BACKACHY OR
KIDNEYS TROUBLE YOU
Eat Less Meat If Your Kidneys Aren't
Acting Right or If Back Hurts or
Bladder Bothers You.

When you wake up with backach9
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to ilter it from the blood and they be-
come sort Of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full Of sediment, channels oft
en- get sore, water scalds and you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult good reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass OF
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid Of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids in the urine so it no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannot
fnjure and makes a delightful, effer-
vescent lithia-water drink.-AdV.
