a position paying considerable more
money than offered by the city.

When the men join the police de-
partment the initial cost of uniforms

The cost OF a freman's equipment
amounts 10 about $50. The chief Of
South Bend recently in an effort to
secure men for the Detroit police
department and three men on the
local police force are now consider
ing accepting the position. The sal
AIRY schedule in Detroit varies from

Chief W. r. Grant of the Gary

In view OF the fact that food
stuns have gone soaring and the
salary Of the departments have not
been increased accordingly the men
contend that they should receive an
increase in wages. Members Of the
police department are required 10
work seven days a week through
out the year with Today vacation.
In most of the surrounding cities
the men receive one day of a week
the same as the fire department re-

THINKS SISTER KILLED.
Nashville Woman Asks Police for In
formation in Regard to Mrs.
Lena Nav Dooting,
Tha nnliee danartman4 nf a. 49, !

The police department of the city was
considerably mystifed by letter re-
ceived this morning from Nashville,
Tenn, in which Mrs. Julian Woods
seeks to find some information in re-
gard to her sister, Mrs Lena May boot
ing, who formerly resided at $40 Elk
change street, here The letter from
the Nashville woman alleged that she
had been notified that her sister had
been killed by her husband in hotel.
No such report has been received in
Kenosha. Mr.. and Mrs. Dooting resid-
ed In Kenosha but short time and at
the address given in the letter it was
declared that they had left Kenosha
some three weeks ago and that they
had not stated where they were going.
No facts in regard to the man and
woman could be found by the police at
their former Kenosha home, but great
surprise was expressed by the few peo-
pie who had known them during the
short residence in Kenosha. The sister
of the woman did not volunteer to state
where the alleged crime had been
committed.

MAY CHANGE INCOME TAX.
Notable Changes in State Statute are
Being Considered by the Legisla-
ture This Week.

Practically unnoticed the assembly
has advanced and will have I'D for
passage this week, the G. E. Hanson
bill which radically changes the prin-
cipal of the income tax law. This
measure provides that the income tax
assessor in the local districts of the
state shall be selected from a list
furnished to the State Tax Commits
sion by the County Board. AT the
present time these officials are select
ed from civil service lists. Former Tax
Commissioner T. S. Adams is the
authority for the statement that the
success of the Wisconsin income tax
law, after it had practically failed in
other states, was TO be found in the
fact that the officials that had the more
direct enforcement of the law were Sc
lected from civil service and not sub
ject to political control. Assemblyman
G. E. Hanson of Pierce county, is of
the opinion that his bill will bring the
enforcement of the law more directly
under the control of the people Of the
district. He is not so much interested
in the income tax as he is in controlling
the other duties exercised by the
deputy income tax assessor, that of
supervising the Local assessors

motor cars for service in the Wisconsin
Flying Squadron. This apportionment
was made in Milwaukee on Wednesday
afternoon when officials of motor clubs
in all parts of the state met to discuss
plans for the mobilization of the Wis
consin automobile squadron. Dan O.
Head, former mayor and president Of
the Kenosha Automobile Club, repre-
sented Kenosha at the meeting and de-
clared to the men from the remainder
of the state that he thought there
would be no hesitancy among Kenosha
auto owners in offering their cars for
the use of the government. Rules and
regulations for enlistment of these cars
and their drivers and formal applica-
tion blanks will be in circulation in
Kenosha within the next two or three
days at which time the active canvas
to secure the full list Of recruits to the
squadron will be taken up.
