BRAVES ARE BEATEN
 TWICE BY ROBINS
Tyler and Rudolph Bested by
 Marquard and Cheney

Brooklyn, N. r.. Juno 2e.-Before aNsplendid weekday crowd at Ebbets field yesterday the Dodgers shattered two Boston pitching idols, Dick Ru- dolph and George Tyler. took both end of double header and made 1t four straight over the Braves. Rube Marquard beat Rudolph. 3 to 2. in the opener, and in the second game Larry Cheney scored on Tyler by 4 to 2.
 The bitter. was mixed with the sweet. for in the third inning of the first game Jake Daubert pulled g tendon running out a bunt, and in the fifth Jimmy Johnston went to first in place .of the captain. Johnston guarded the getaway sack in the sec- ond contest. Though Daubert nmped bit last evening he was hopeful of getting back into the fray today.
 Casey Stengel was banished for cvincing displeasure at being called out on strikes by throwing his bat in the first inning of the second game and Fly Myers wont to right for Brooklyn in, the second. He played hang up game and showed that the layoff occasioned by his injury has had no bad effects. He made . time- ly single in the third and his triple scored Olson in the seventh. The scores:

Charles r. Wtteman spoke Of "a

The aviator approaches his target

water short distance, heading toward
his target and when ready simply pulls
lever The action Of pulling the lever
releases the torpedo. which is rigidly
held under the airplane. and at the
same time throws back the starting
lever, with tho result that the torpedo
falls into the water in the same way
as If 1t had been dropped from n de
stroyer.

Europe about year ago that a lieu

flights over the land into the sea Of

MILK FOR BABIES


Pierre. March 15.-Better milk
for babies and adults in this state is
expected to be the result of the tu-
berculin test for dairy cows which is
now obtainable free, since the enact
ment of the law providing for that
purpose by the late legislature. Up
on petition of three patrons OF any
dairy the live stock sanitary board
will make an examination, at state
expense, of the cows composing the
herd and the owner will be under no
expense for this examination.
If any tubercular cows are found
in the herd, the state destroys them
and the owner is reimbursed.
Payment is made on the basis OF
one-half the appraised value, with a
limit of $50 for one COW. the ap-
praisement being made the same as
for glanders and other diseased live
stock in which indemnity is made for
owners. This means that the owners
as well as patrons will take a great
er interest in the purity of the dairy
herds.
A number of cities of the state
have made ordinances requiring the
examination of cows, in which cases
the owners had to stand the expense
which burden is now removed and
will have its effect in improved dairy
herds over the state. The act car
ries an appropriation of SIS, 900 for
use between now and the 1st of July
and SIS, 900 per year after that time
which will allow the work to be
taken up at once. OF the appropria-
tion $1,000 is for cattle destroyed,
and the rest for expenses of testing

Washington. March 16.-To strike

with Germany comes.
This is the plan mapped out by the
four railroad brotherhood chiefs
who have left Washington for New
York, where they will deliver their
threat of a general transportation
strike to the carriers conference
committee in the event that the re-
newed demands of the employees are
rejected.
Unless the railroad executives
agree to put the Adamson law wage
raise into effect at once, the brother
hood presidents will threaten to call
a progressive series of strikes on
lines in different sections of the
country, beginning Saturday night.
In a statement issued just before
their departure for New York the
heads of the railway unions said they
were tired of waiting to receive the
benefits of the Adamson law and
they would renew their attempt to
effect a peaceful settlement" with
the railroads.
The brotherhood presidents admit
ted they were Fastening their plans
either to obtain a settlement or TO
strike, because they believe war with
Germany now seems probable. :"

INCOME TAX SHOWS
MARKED INCREASE
ASSESSMENT FOR WISCONSIN
WILL REACH ABOVE $1,000, 900
FOR THIS YEAR.
81 100000 ABOVE LAST YEAR
Present Law May Be Modified at Spe-
cal Session to Meet War Emer-
gency Taxes Corpora
tons to Pay More.

Madison-The income tax assessed
in Wisconsin this year will reach
about 100000. 1t may be more than
this amount. This is the opinion of
Nils p. Haugen, chairman of the state
tax commission, who has been exam
ming income tax data for the present
assessment. This would be an increase
OF more than $1,500,O00 over last year
The taxes on individuals will be much
larger than previously. Because Wis
consin allows personal property as an
offset, it is probable that only about
one-half of this amount will be col
lected in actual cash.
Last year the income tax assessment
aggregated $5,344,393.51. OF this
amount $3,745,18O.16 was assessed
against corporations and the balance
81, 601,213 against individuals. This
was the record since the income tax
law went into effect. In 1912 the total
income tax amounted to $3,842, 1856;
in 913 to $4,084, 497.70; in 1916 the as
sessment was $4,145, 67648, and for the
year 1915, which was considered poor,
the assessment was $3,837, 31704.
1t was predicted last year that the
income tax to be paid by individuals
this year would be larger, but the pres
ent prospects of the amount to be as
sessed goes beyond anticipations. The
large returns coming in under the in
come tax law, has given rise to the
rumor that this law may be modified
to meet war emergency taxes. The
Bray bill for the repeal of the personal
property offset is again talked of, and
the matter may come up before the
special session of the legislature
which is to be convened here in No
vember.
The corporation tax will show an
enormous increase, much of it due to
the fact that war munitions are manu-
featured in Wisconsin.
