Few Want to, Rubber"
at Income Tax Reports

Madison, Wis. Only 115 requests
have been made for information con-
corning corporation incomes since the
secrecy clause of the income tax law
was repealed by the 1923 legislature,
according to report issued by the
state tax commission today.
This does not include inquiries con-
cerning the incomes of private indi-
viduals which are directed to income
assessors in the various counties.
These are not thought to be large, how
ever. A supreme court battle on the
constitutionality of the secrecy repeal
is expected to follow Judge E. V.
Werner's decision, enjoining the state
commission from giving information
concerning incomes filed under the
Wisconsin income tax law.
Most of the requests for informa-
ton come from curiosity seekers and
business competitors, the commission
report stated.

PHYSICIANS GET
COPY OF REGULATIONS
Wisconsin Doctors Are Ordered to
Obtain Licenses if They Want
to Issue Permits.

Madison Wis. - Notices of state
regulations regarding physicians to
issue permits for sale of liquor are
being sent out to all physicians who
have. failed to obtain licenses from
the State prohibition department by
Commissioner Herman Sachtjen. Many
doctors have not complied with the
state law by obtaining license to
issue permits, Commissioner Sachtjen
said today. !
Under provisions of state laws, each
physician must obtain a license and
pay fee of $40 annually before he can
lawfully issue liquor prescription,
There are approximately 1000 physi-
clans in the state subject to the tax,
it is stated.
Some physicions. according to pro-
hibition officials, fail to obtain IL
censes from the state department af-
ter being authorized to prescribe IL
quor by the federal government. 1t is
pointed out that federal permit does
not exempt a physician from the state
law.
Under terms of an amendment to
the prohibition statutes passed by the
last legislature, certain classes IS pro-
fessional men. such as dentists, are
not required to obtain permits from
the state department if alcohol is used
merely for sterilizing instruments. The
new act is effective Januar% /. Be-
fore, however, such men Yere requir-
ed to have a license.

CHARLES P. STEINMETZ
DIES AT SCHENECTADY
Famous Electrician and Engineer is
Stricken With Heart, Attack
After Breakfast.

Schenectady, N. Y. - Death today
ended the career of Charles p. Stein
NETS, the electrical wizard, the man
who snatched down lightning from the
skies and made the thunderbolts do
bidding. AS Steinmetz lay in his bed
at his home here at o'clock this
morning, recovering from exhaustion
resulting from long lecture tour, his
heart ceased to beat.
81 feel fine today" he said to his
nurse a minute before the end. 81 will
soon be up and around again" A few
seconds later his soul slipped away.
ellis heart just stopped beating"
said DR.. H. T. Groesbeck
The brain which devised means OF
Harvesting the elements and creating
"toy thunderstorms" in laboratories
was alert to the end, but the body
could no longer stand the strain which
so many years of driving mental force
had put upon it.
Native of Germany.
Steinmetz, the hunchbacked little
German who became chief consulting
engineer of the General Electric COM
pany, returned October 18th from
all parts of the United States.
AS in the case of the late President
Harding and Of Woodrow Wilson; he
had overtaxed his strength endeavor-
ing to see all the people he was called
upon to see and to make all speeches
expected of him. His body began Ito
crack under the strain when he made
an address to $500 people at Denver.
He had expected to talk to 800 or 400
and the larger the audience made the
effort much greater.
Nevertheless and although he was
fully aware Of the weakness of his
heart, he went through with his pro-
gram. Upon his return to Schenectady,
the exhaustion from which he was suf-
fering forced him to give up his work
temporarily and take tc his bed.
He seemed to be showing steady i'm
provemens and physicians we're much
encouraged. AS he lay in bed, physi-
cally too weak to rise, his t~ain Con-
tinusd working and planning Lew cleo
trical miracles.
DR.. Steinmetz's birthplace was in
Breslau, Germany. He was born April
9, 1865. He came to America "a years
ago. He studied in common school,
high school and university at Breslau,
making specially of mathematics and
astronomy. Realizing that mathemat-
ies did not offer living for anybody
whose political opinions differed from
those of the German government, he
studied psychics, chemistry and cleo
trical engineering.
Edison Shocked nv News
West Orange, N. 1.-THE world has
lost one of its greatest msthematicians
and the electrical industry will miss
one of its shining lights" said Thomas
A. Edison today when informed of the
death Of Charles P. Steinmetz az

was shocked at the news.
