TWO NEW MEASURES
TO HALT TAX BILLS
Battle on Blaine Program is Clearly
Indicated in Action Taken in
Senate Today.

(By Associated Press Leased Wire)
Madison, Wis. = Two moves to de-
feat the Severson income sur-tax bill
and the Dahl general income tax bill
were evident in the legislature today.
They both are based upon the belief
expressed by their authors that the in
come tax proposals now before the leg
islature, would endanger industry.
Senator George F. Czerwinski, Mil
wauke, introduced resolution in the
upper house calling for appointment
of an interim committee of three
members from the assembly and two
from the senate to study the entire
tax question and report to the 1925
session of the legislature. In the
meantime he would have proposed tax
legislation held up
Senator Herman Bilgrien, Iron
Ridge, elected with the, LaFollette-
Blaine endorsement, announced that he
would have a substitute amendment to
the Severson sur-tax bill, making dras-
tic changes in that proposal, which he
declared to be antagonistic to the in
terests of industry IN Wisconsin. he
said he would oppose both the Dahl
and Severson bills.
The Czerwinski resolution said that
the two general tax measures now be-
fore the legislature after introduce
ton by administration leaders is I'M
scientifically drawn without considera-
ton given to their possible effect. He
declared that he could support neither
until thorough study had been made
of taxes, and bill based upon the re-
suit, of that study, presented.
Both of these moves are taken as
attempts to defeat tax legislation at
the present session of the legislature.

Give Up Fight.
BURKE IS UNDECIDED
Walter M. Burke, Kenoshan,
Also under Sentence,
Is Undecided.

The walls Of the federal prison at
Leavenworht drew nearer today for
Bertram P. Herzog, Thomas A. Delaney
and Joseph Ray, three alleged COM
panions of Walter M. Burke of Keno
sha, in a conspiracy to violate the
liquor laws by the operation of the
activities of the Kenosha- Milwaukee
whiskey ring, when the appeals of the
three Milw@ukeeans were denied by the
United States circuit court of appeals,
the sentence of the United States court
being affirmed in each instance. Attor-
neys for the three made announcement
this morning that they would not
continue the fight and that the three
men from Milwaukee will not carry
the case further.
In Kenosha no statement could be
secured from Attorney Walter M.
Burke as to what course of action he
had decided upon following similar
denial of his appeal to the circuit court
had not entirely abandoned a plan to
take the fight to the United States
supreme court at Washington.
Must Pay Fines Too.
Bertram P. Herzog, former prohibi-
ton group chief, who was found guilty
of accepting brides, must serve his
seven year term, the court decided.
Thomas A. Delaney, former prohibi-
ton director and Joseph Ray, inspec-
tor during Delaney's regime, must,
serve two years each, for conspiracy to
violate the national prohibition act.
In addition, all three will be fore
ed to pay the $4,000 fines imposed by
the court in Milwaukee
Following closely on the appellate
courts decision affirming" the five year
sentence and heavy fine imposed on
Walter Burke, Kenosha attorney, who
was found guilty here of similar Of
lenses, the order practically seals the
book of the Kenosha- Milwaukee liquor
conspiracy which deluged Wisconsin
with whiskey in car load lots in
1920 and 1921.
Milwaukeeans Give Up Fight.
The defendants will be taken into
custody as soon as formal notice of
the Chicago courts decision reaches
the federal court in Milwaukee, and
commitment order is issued according
to dispatches from Chicago. All are
now at liberty on bail
No attempt will be made to fight
the case further, Attorney David S.
Rose, who defended Herzog at his trial
year ago and who argued the appeal
motion on January 5, said Tuesday
night.
The appeals of Delaney and Ray
were argued a week ago in the Chi
cago court.
