I. F00DD0PED
WITH POISON

Waukesha, Wis. Dec. Whether
a childish prank or a neighborhood
feud is to blame for "deep laid
plot" to spoil the food in two school
children's dinner pals with poison,
was the problem engaging the at
tention of the Waukesha county Of
ficials today following a hearing in
municipal court, Wednesday in which
three little girls told conflicting
stories concerning the use of the
poison. .- . I .,.. S'',
The dinner pail mystery centers
around the relations of three FAM
lilies whose children attend district
school in the town\of Vernon. Tes-
timony at a hearing was that food
in the dinner pail of Norma Olson,

Olson, was saturated poison and that
mittens worn by Rose Wachow, II,
daughter of George Wachow, had
come in contact with the poison.

Death J,
PUZZLESP0LICE

New York, Dec. 28.-Brooklyn's de-
tectives, puzzled for solution Of
the mysterious shooting of Theresa
Mccarthy, 10 year old school girl in
her home Tuesday, took note of The
slightly upward course Of the 90
caliber bullet that pierced her heart,
disclosed by the autopsy, and to-
day inclined more to the theory that
another child Of similar age was re-
sponsible for the tragedy.
The deduction was that the bullets
course would have been downward, !,
rather than upward, had an older and
taller person fired the. shot and in
this belief the search was continued
for one of Theresa's playmates
frightened into silence by the tragic
consequences.

ASSERTS ROAD
PROGRAM WILL
SAVE TAXES
Good Roads Association
Makes Possible $1,5OO,OOO
Reduction, Kaulfuss Says

A reduction in taxes of $1,5OQ,OOO a
year is made possible through the
North Dakota Good Roads associa-
tlon legislative program, it is de-
clared by J. E. Kaulfuss, secretary.
nj statement Mr.. Kaulfuss outlines
the situation as follows:
Recently and year ago, Govern
or Nestos requested county and other
public officials to economize on pub
lie expenditures and to reduce taxes
mo doubt he will urge that upon
the legislature also.
"There appears to be general
desire that the people be relieved of
the heavy tax burden.
"$1 100000 year tax reduction is
possible through these measures.
To date, and since 1917, the counties
have provided about s5,OOO,0OO or
$l,000,000 year to secure state aid
and federal aid on highways. By.
the associations program state fund
will be provided to meet~federal
aid and counties will be relieved Of
thS necessity of levying $1,odD,00o a
year in the future.
Reimburse Counties
"Under the associations pla1
$5,000,000 of county funds invested
in state highway projects will be
reimbursed to them in ten annual
installments of 100000. A further
reduction Of county taxes is thus
possible by ,su&h endorsements,
the total reduction being s1,500,O0O
year.
sWith the counties levying about
$2,85O0,O00 a year for highways, the
$1,5OO,OOO means reduction of ov-
er SO per cent. The total county
and township road and bridge levy
being about S4,775,OOO, the reduction
possible is over 81 per cent.
"The total state tax for all pur"
poses being about $33 100000, the
above reduction will amount to about
per cent.
Proposed Method of Financing
"The association proposes to IN
crease the motor vehicle license ere
ating a state highway fund there
from to operate the state highway
department, to reimburse counties
as above indicated and to meet fu-
sture federal aid State highway H.
nancing will thus be transferred
from general taxes to the automo-
bilist and road user. The increased
fees will cot be excessive. Il fact
they will be less than what the aver
age state tax would be on motor We
hicles if on the tax list.
"The immediate purpose OF the
associations measures is to satisfy
the requirements Of the federal laws
SO that the state can continue WITH
federal aid for highway improve
ment."

WALKOUT UP
TO CRADLE
(By International News Service

10y international news SerVlCe)
New York, Aug. 14.-An immedi-
ate strike of maintenance of way
employees on the Erie and Pennsyl-
vania railroads today rests on the
AYE" or may" of f. F. Cradle,
grand president of the maintenance
of way men, who is in Washington.
This strike was voted for in the
adoption of resolutions to that eff
feet by the New York district coun-
Gil of the organization. Nothing
further is required for the thou
sands of men to walk out except
the approval of Cradle.
The principal grievance Of the
workers is that the roads in ques-
ton are alleged to have let out shop
work to contracts, in violation of all
agreements, etc.
Should the Erie and Pennsylvania
men drop their tools, it is estimated
that thousands of other employees on
the New York Central lines would
join with them

Corbin, KY, Aug. 11-Engineers.
GIemen, trainmen and conductors,
members of the "big four" on the
Cumberland Valley division, and ali
switchmen in the local yards of the
Louisville and Nashville railroad
walked out here at 10 o'clock.
The number of men affected may

Of the road.
The strike followed a meeting held
last night, at which it was voted al
most unanimously to walk out in
protest against the presence of arm
Cd guards in the local yards and
shops.
The new strike brings the total
number of men out here to nearly
5000 completely tieine up the road $

Corbin is the key" To the entire
Louisville and Nashville system, the
lines branching in four directions
from this point.
The walkout will not affect the
other three divisions beyond the
ticup of the trains.
Governor Morrow, of Kentucky,
was here today watching develop
ments. He issued no statement up
to the time of the walkout, and it
could not be learned whether the
Governor contemplated sending
late troops here.
No violence of serious proportions
has thus far attended the strike,
only petty disturbances having oc-
cured.
