TO BOOST TAXES
OF CORPORATIONS
Tax Commission Adds a
Million and a Half
in Taxes.
WORKED In KENOSHA

Investigation by experts of the tax
commission into the incomes of Wis
consin corporations is expected to re-
suit in return of nearly $1,500,000 more
revenue this year than would have
been obtained had the companies own
estimates been accepted as a basis
for the assessment.
This conclusion is reached by the
commission from tentative estimates
formed after several months auditing
by five employees of the tax commits
sion. Until the last two years the
commission has not audited the books
of the state corporations, further than
to accept theiratown returns, The
agents of the commission worked for
some time in Kenosha.
Slightly over S1,000,000 was added
to the income tax returns of 1920.
through the auditing of one man in
the commission, who made a personal
accounting of returns of corporations.
This showing induced the legisla-
ture to provide amply for the employ
ment Of further investigators who
could personally go into the field, and
inspect company books. Their returns
are said to be justifying the legisla-
lures decision.
Over 125 corporations in the state
have failed to make a report on their
incomes up to the present time. The
commission before October Is will as
sess these companies on the same scale
as last year unless report is made,
it says The income tax assessments
must be completed before October Is
in order to permit he making up of
the roll.
There is reported to be a general
falling off in earnings of commercial
concerns of the state which will APP
proximate between 20 and 80 per cent.

KEN0SE4A GOLF LINKS
NEW HOME SUBDIVISION
Announcement Made This Morning That Won
derful Property at South Limits Will be
Opened for Homes at Once.
EXTEND STREET RAILWAY LINES
Owners of Property Will Join in Cost of Extending
Street Railway from Sheridan Road to Cor
ner of Park and Selma Avenues

district. 1t is thought certain that
the town board of Pleasant Prairie
will grant an immediate permit for
the extension of the lines along Selma
avenue as the extension will be of
great value in the development of
much territory on South Park ave-
nue..
May Extend to Simmons Park.
1t is possible that later the lines
will be built along South Park avenue
with view of building line to Sim
mons park with the understanding
that subway will be put in under
the Northwestern at the end of Park
avenue paving. This plan would make
easy the extension Of the lines to
South Sheridan road for the park and
for other improvements in that nor
ton of the county
Sewers and paving for all of the
streets in the subdivision will be or
dered just as soon as possible and it
IS believed that the city will be es-
pecially interested in rushing this
work on account of the fact that it
would furnish employment for many
unemployed men in the city. The own
ers of the property will make possible
the improvements just as rapidly as
they can be completed with the hope
that all will be in by the end of next
year.
Purchase Old Right of Way.
The old right of way which was
owned by the Chicago, Kenosha and
Milwaukee Electric Railway company,
and which extended through the very
center of the golf grounds, has been
purchased and it will be eliminated so
that the people who buy lots in the
subdivision will not have the haunting
fear that this old route will ever be
used.
Restrictions will be provided in the
sale of lots to make this a really high
grade "home" subdivision. Scores of
people have been waiting forI the OPP
ening of this subdivision and it is de-
clared that the prices for lots in the
subdivision will be placed at a figure
which will make the lots move very
rapidly. 1t is expected that more than
a hundred homes will be erected next
year.
The new subdivision has not as yet
been named but the name "Allendale"
has been suggested.

FEAR EPIDEMIC
OF DIPHTHERIA
Sends Out Special Warming
to the People to Watch
Sore Threats.
MANY ARE EXPOSED

"Diphtheria is almost epidemic in
Kenosha today and I want a special
warning given to the people of the city
to fight the disease. 1t is spreading
rapidly in all sections of the city. We
have eight cases under quarantine now
and two new cases were reported this
morning"
This was the announcement of DIR.
G. Windesheim, commissioner of pub
lie health, this morning, and in addi-
ton to his call upon the people to show
caution, he sent special warning to
all employees in the health department
to aid in every way possible to prevent
the further spread of the disease. Many
of the cases reported are most serious
cases and it is said that many children
of the schools have been exposed to the
contagion.
eve do not want to brighten the
parents of children" continued DR..
Windesheim, "but we want them to be
warned of the danger with a view of
having them take every possible pre-
caution to save the lives of their chill
dren."
1t was announced at the health de-
partment that one child who had suf-
fered from diphtheria had died this
morning. The child was taken sick
with a sore throat last Wednesday.
The parents were not advised as to the
nature of the ailment and the child
attended school Thursday and Friday.
On Monday physician was called, but
it was too late to save the life of the
child. The case was not reported to
the health department or to the school
nurse until it was too late to do any
thing.
eff you have child with sore
throat, call a physician at once and
have culture made" was the order
of the health commissioner "Such an
action may save the life of the child
and prevent illness and death among
other children of the city"

NO WAGE CUT
FOR MINERS NOW
President Lewis Outlines Policy of
Great Union at Opening of Con-
vention at indianapolis.

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.)
Indiapolis No wage reduction of
coal miners must be permitted and all
resources of the miners union must
be made available to back up the
policy in opposition to wage cuts,
John L. Lewis president of the United
Mine Workers Of America declared to-
day in his report to the biennial con
vention Of the International Union.
He also recommended postment un-
til next February of the miners adop-
tion of definite wage demands and
declared that with all wage agreements
expiring March 81, 1922, "the full
influence and economic power of our
great membership may thus be utili-
ed to the advantage of our people for
the achievement of our ideals"
Much of Mr.. Lewis report related
to the wage question, apparently in
dicating that this would be among
the most important business of the
convention which brought together be-
tween 1900 and 1900 representatives
of local unions scattered throughout
the United States, western Canada and
Nova Scotia.
Aside from the wage question, Mr..
Lewis asked the convention to adj
minister a rebuke to Robert H. Harlin
of Seattle, Wish, and Frank Earring
ton, president of the Illinois miners,
who Lewis charges had circulated false
statements about the union. He also
asked the convention to endorse the
international board which he said,
Alexander Howat, president of the
Kansas miners organization had defied
in now complying with the boards
order for strikers to return to work
Other essential points of Mr.. Lewis
report includes:
A recommendation that the conven-
ton reaffirm it's declaration of two
years ago, favoring naturalization of
coal mines.
A declaration that "the fight in
Mingo county, West Virginia must be
won and that there can be no com
promise of the principles involved.
A recommendation that legal pro
ceedings be instituted to make full
test of the constitutionality of the
Kansas industrial court law.

PUTS NEW HANDICAP
ON GRANT WEDDING
Bishop Manning Rules That No Episco-
pal Clergyman May Perform
Marriage Rites.
(By Associated Press Leased wire.l

by Associated Press Leased Wire.)
New York Bishop Manning has
ruled that no clergyman of the Pro-
testant Episcopal church may perform
a marriage ceremony for the Rev. DR..
Percy Stickney Grant, rector of the
Church of the Ascension and his fianc6.
Mrs. Rita de Acosta Lydig, a wealthy
parlshioner, who has been divorced
twice, the New York Times says it has
learned from reliable. source. Before
the engagement was announced, DR..
Grant communicated his purpose to the
bishop and was informed that the pro
posed marriage was contrary to the
canons of the church and the bishop
has not receded from this position, it
is declared. DR.. Grants vestrymen are
not inclined to interfere with his mat
rlmonlal plans and he is the only one
who has taken up the question of it's
ecclesiastical regularity with the bish-
op, it is stated. Mrs. Lydig obtained a
divorce from w. E. D. Stokes, whom
she married when she was 10 years old
and later from Major Philip M. Lydig.
One of the divorces was on the grounds
of incompatibility. The cause in the
other suit would not prevent remar-
rage of the innocent party, according
to church laws.

new EQUIPMENT
NOW INSTALLED
st. GATHERINGS Hospital
Has Complete X-Ray
Apparatus Now.
FOR ALL PURPOSES

The citizens of Kenosha are to be
congratulated in having available a
modern and extensive equipment such
as has been recently installed at St.
GATHERINGS Hospital.
This installation has been made at a
considerable expense, for the appara-
tus represents the last word in x-rsy
equipment. 1t is the product of Vicsor
X-Ra y Corporation, Chicago, and in
stalled by their Mr. Schumann, an ex-
pert in this line for the past twenty
five years.
Every one who pays a visit to the
x-ray laboratory of st. GATHERINGS Hos
pital will see something of unusual in
terest. If one is at all familiar with
the history of the x-ray since its dis
covery he will, upon looking over this
new modern equipment, Immediately
see the wonderful advances that have
taken place in this branch of medical
science. 1t may be said, without re-
servation, that it is second to none in
the country from every standpoint.
Science Advanced Fast.
ating one and dates from a compare
lively few years back-in 1895-when
x-rays were discovered by Prof Will
helm Roentgen, German physicist.
While the discovery itself marks an
important epoch in the history of med
icine, it is also interesting to compare
apparatus used in the early years with
that which is available to the progress
sive physician today. Ingenuity has
given him complete control of power
full agent which has made martyrs of a
number of these very geniuses to whom
humanity in general owes an everlast-
ing debt of gratitude, for advancing
this science to where we find it today.
The community is to be congratulate
ed upon having reliable x-ray equip
ment available, a valuable aid in the
care of human ills. To realize what a
big advantage it really means is but 10
know that this wonderful light (x-ray)
reveals all within the body that is in
visible to the eye, or so remote as to
make access for diagnosis otherwise
impossible. The hidden secrets of ma
ture can be revealed on a Photographic
plate, as a permanent record, or can
be seen on an Illuminating (fuoro-
scopic) screen while the bones, joints,
heart, lungs and entire digestive tract
are functioning.
Many Curative Properties.
X-rays have also curative properties
for the treatment of many obstinate
skin diseases, and specialists are using
these rays in the treatment of cancer
with encouraging results.
The installation of this equipment
indicates not only progressiveness on
the part of the hospital, but offers
many benefits to all those who would
avail themselves of it.

10y O11Teo PreSS1
New York - What may have been
an attempt to kidnap Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw. former wife of Harry K. Thaw,
was frustrated early today by the

The former Mrs. Thaw, who is now
known as Miss Nesbit, was in her
apartments on the third floor of a
building where she runs tea room

talking in the hall outside, according
to the police. She opened the door
and three men attempted to seize her.
Miss Nesbit screamed so loudly that
the three men fled.
Patrolman Michael Mcmahon heard
the cries and ran up to the building
just as the three men jumped into a
taxi that was standing at the curb
with its motor running and drove rap
idly away.
He remained on guard. Some time
later the three men, evidently thinking
the coast clear, returned in the taxi
cab. Mcmahon accosted them and
they attacked him.
Mcmahon blew his whistle for help
and other patrolmen arrived. After
fight the three men were arrested
They gave the names of Joseph DAILY,

Miss Nesbit appeared in police
court ready to testify against the
three men but the case was postponed
until Wednesday.

little while, threw it in the kitchen
stove to see it burn. The wife and
mother came into the kitchen just in
time to see the last of the money going
up in smoke and frantically raked out
Of the stove what little she could of
the ashes. A tablespoonful of charred
corners in medicine glass was all she
could gather from the wood ashes to
show to her husband when he returned
to the home shortly after and found
her weeping because of the misfortune.
Nedwecky had just closed negotia-
tions for buying farm with his broth
er-in-lawy Julian Kuprinsky, and was
returning to his home to get the money
to pay down on the purchase when he
learned of the loss of the money. He
is saving the charred remains of the
bills in the hopes that he may be able
to redeem part of the money, but
because so little was saved, it is
thought that he can recover but very
little of the loss.
Children Find Money.
Early Friday afternoon Nedwecky
with his brother-in-law, Julian Kuprin-
sky, Sal Hansen street, went to the
Office Of Attorney Lewis W. Powell here
to close the deal for purchasing jointly
40-acre farm, about five miles west of
Kenosha. The papers were all drawn
and the man left the attorneys Office
to get the money which they had to pay
down on the purchase.
In half an hour they returned. Ned

Feared the Banks.
Nedwecky explained that he had al
ways been afraid of the bank and had
kept his savings for years tied up in a
handkerchief and stuffed under the
mattress Of his bed. He said that
there were two $50 bills and that the
borrowed from friend in Chicago, but
$50 bills; $500 of it had recently been
borrowed froa friend in Chicago, but
the remainder had been saved from his
earnings since he came to America
some years ago.
Tuesday afternoon while the mother
was working in the yard, the three
children, the oldest being six years old,
were playing in the bedroom. Peter,
the baby, less than two years, old, saw
the red handkerchief and was attracted
by it. The children pulled it out from
under the mattress, and according to
the story Of the oldest boy, played with
it a little while. Then the youngest
child, mere fodder, took the money

a fire was smouldering.
Mother Tries to Rescue Money.
The children watched the money burn
and laughed at the glare it made in
the kitchen. When the mother came
in, the Oldest boy told her what had
happened.
In despair she ran to the stove and
tried to save some of the money from
the flames, but it was too late. She
burned her hands badly by scraping out
whatever she could see, but this was
SO small that it is practically worth
less. She called the police and when
Detectives Rock and Breidt reached the
home, they found her crying over the
teaspoonful of ashes she had pulled
out of the fire.
These we're taken to the police office
and will be sent to Washington in an
attempt to get some of the money re-
deemed. Meanwhile, Nedwecky and his
family will move out on the farm in
an attempt to earn back the fortune
which went up in smoke.
