Joshua Coshun, Civil War
Veteran of Kenosha,
Died at Madison.
WELL KNOWN HERE
Did Great Fighting with Ber-
den SharpshOoters; Former
Lowell Post Commander.

Another link in the chain Of the
Fred S. Lowell Post, Civil war veter-
ans, has been broken by the death of
Joshua Coshun, aged SO, at Madison
Tuesday. Information concerning the
death of the well-known Kenoshan
reached the city today from Madison
where the deceased had been spending
the past winter. Mr.. Coshun had been
in failing health for many months and
death came as the result of infrmities
due to advanced age.
The announcement of his death
comes as a great personal sorrow to
his legion of Kenosha friends. He
has been resident of the city for
twenty-eight years and was one of the
most respected citizens. He was ac-
tive in both business and social cir
icles.
Fought in Great War.
Coshun established most brilliant
record in the Civil war and was an
outstanding leader of the Fred S. Low
ell post undertakings. He held the
honored position of post-commander
for more than one term.
During the war days he enlisted as
a soldier with the Potomac third army
corps where he carried on the cause
nobly. AS one of the most skilled
marksman with the Berdan sharp
shooters he saw severe warfare at
Gettysburg on the Fourth of July, 1864.
1t was in this skirmish that Coshun
fought the enemy with all the courage
of a great general. While history
shows that the war ended on the
third there was extensive battling on
the Fourth.
Local veterans ~today were lauding
Coshun as true soldier and a gallant
fighter for his country's flag. After
the war he came to Kenosha and be-
came affiliated with the Lowell post
where he. took a prominent interest in
all the work of the post. Before COM
ing to Kenosha he had lived in Mich
igan for some years. He was born III
New York.
Active Church Member.
Coshun was a distinguished worker
for the First Baptist church. In his
earlier life he served as deacon and
in later years when he became weak
ened due to illness he was named as
honorary deacon.
The deceayed is survived by three
sons, who are now in Madison to at
tend the funeral services which will
be held. Friday afternoon.
Messages of coincidence have been
sent to his relatives by Kenoshans and
the Civil war veterans.

DEMOCRATS FINISH
THEIR TAX MEASURE
Put Finishing Touches on the Demo-
cratic Proposals for Reduction
in Federal Taxes.
BY PAUL R. MALLoN

Washington, D. C. - Senate Demo- :
Gratis put the finishing touches on their
tax reduction program Monday.
While its details are being kept Sec
ret until the Republicans bring the
bill of of committee-probably tomor-
row--this much of the Democratic
plan is known:
l. 1t cuts the income taxes of thea,
man with an income of $4,000 or less
even more than the bill passed by the"
house.
2. 1t adds little to the 81 IL per
cent maximum surtax adopted by the.
house, making it around 40 per cent
as compared with 20 per cent in the
MELLON plan.
\ The Democratic substitute was
drawn up. by Senators Simmons, Pat
Harrison and King, minority members
of the finance committee who took the
amount Secretary Mellon said he need
ed-around $325,O00, o00--and re-diss"
tributed the taxes in manner they
believe will provide more equal spread
ing of the tax burden. ~

CAN'T FORCE ROADS
TO ELEVATE TRACKS
Supreme Court Rules States Cannot
Force Railways to Abolish
Grade Crossings.

Washington, D. C. States cannot
compel Interstate railroads, the SUI
preme court declared today, to join in
the construction of union stations and
cannot compel them to abolish grade
crossings.
The control of states in grade cross
ing and terminal matters was ques-
toned in three cases brought by the
railroad commission of California
against the Southern Pacific, the Atch-
ison and the Los Angeles & Salt Lake
Railroad companies.
The above decision is of special in
terest in Kenosha because it may eff
feet the fight which is now ,on to Sc
cure elevation of the Northwestern
railway tracks in this city. 1t would
appear that the supreme court has now
held that the state cannot compel the
Northwestern to elevate the tracks in
Kenosha, contrary to the opinion
which had been held regarding such
improvements.

session today to its inquiry into stor-
les of oil deals and oil contributions
in the political campaign of 1920.
/ For witnesses followed one another

materially to the information which
previously had gone into the record.

suit the committees books before he

Washington, D. C. Dry details of
the Miller brothers land fraud case in
Oklahoma were reviewed today by the
Senate Daugherty committee.
A bundle of letters passing between
the justice and interior departments
and various individuals were read into
the record and several witnesses were
questioned as to why criminal prosecu-
ton of the case resulted only in> i'm
position of fines and why no civil suit
to recover the land ever was fled@
One of the letters showed that AL
bert B. Fall tried while he was sec
rotary of the interior to secure post
ponement of trial, but the justice de-
partment replied that the criminal
suits must go forward Most of the
letters were presented by Edwin S.
Booth who served under Fall
HarreId "Volunteer."
Senator Harreld of Oklahoma made
voluntary statement to the. commit
tee, disclaiming any political interest
in the prosecutions and saying he had
only urged action because he felt ev-
erything had been done to protect the
interests of the government. He had
learned to his surprise, he said, that
the justice department had asked moth
ing but fines against those found gull
t& and had made no move to recover
the lands which are part of the 1901
ranch. 1t developed while Booth was
on the stand that he now is engaged as
special attorney for the department of
justice in connection with civil suits
in the Miller cases. They were as
signed to him about March 1 of this
year.
Booth said ''there is reason" why
these civil cases were not turned over
to him by the department Of justice
before March, 1924, but that he would
prefer to tell the committee that rea-
son Sin confidence"
No Oil on Lands.
Booth said rumors of oil discoveries
on or near the land involved in the
Miller cases were without foundation.
Senator Ashurst, Democrat, Arizona,
said he had a telegram that the Mil
Ter brothers, claimed title to the
lands.
"Oh, that means they're going to
stand suit" said Booth
There was an argument when George
B. Chamberlain of Harry M. Daugh-
erty's counsel took up the cross ex-
animation.
''My client is out of Office on the
strength of rum running, rum selling,
convict testimony" Chamberlain said,
s'and he hasn't had chance to put
in witness. | ask in all fairness,
that some of the gentlemen in the de-
partment of justice whose regulations
are above objection be allowed to
come here"
tor Wheeler observed, pointing to
Booth.
