John I. Beggs Heirs
Lose Point in Court

Milwaukee, Wis.-Heirs of the late
John I. Beggs, Milwaukee traction
magnate, lost a point in their fight to
prevent the collection of inheritance
and income taxes in Wisconsin on the
greater portion of the estate, when
Judge Oscar M. Fritz denied an appli-
cation of Mrs. Mary McCulloch, st.
Louis, Mo-, to suppress subpoenas is
sued in an income tax hearing.
Mrs. McCulloch is a daughter of
Mr.. Beggs. She contended that the
hearing was intended to bring out in
formation concerning the place of
residence of Mr.. Beggs since 1916 and
other facts on which the state OF Wis
consin and Milwaukee county would
be in a position to- base a complaint
for the collection of income and in
heritance taxes. 1t is claimed that
her father was a resident OF Florida
and not of Wisconsin at the time of
his death.
Attorneys for the estate declared
an injunction would be asked to pre-
vent the tax hearing in January.

TRAP AND SHOOT
BAD FUEDIST
Willie Fleming Lays Dy-
ing After Gun Duel
With Posse.
LAST OF PIKE CLAN

Pikeville,l KY. - CATN - In the
rocky fastness of Pike county Willie
Fleming, mountaineer and mountain
''bad man." is fighting probably his
last fight and against odds-death be-
ing his foe.
Fleming, the descendant of line of
picturesque federal mountaineers, has
lived by fighting and apparently he
will die by fighting--die at the hands
Of the law he so long evaded.
Five times posses sought to capture
him alive and five times they failed,
but yesterday lin the grayness of the
early dawn he was trapped in his
mothers home, in Pike county not far
from the line that divides Pike coun-
ty from the Mingo of West Virginia.
Sheriff j. M. johnson Of Pike coun-
ty and a posse of ten had searched
through the night for the mountaineer
to capture him and bring him here to
answer to indictments charging muir
der and violation of the prohibition
laws.
Trapped in Mothers Home.
They surrounded him in his hiding
place, at his mothers nome1 ana calleO
on him to surrender, but no Fleming
surrenders, it is said. An exchange
of shots followed and when the posse
ceased firing, Willie Fleming lay on
the floor critically wounded.
Physicians who examined the
wounded man said there was no hope
for his recovery.
Fleming is from a line that has
killed and been killed.
In recent years number of the
men folks of the Fleming family have
died violent deaths.
Levy, brother, died in fight with
officers who sought to capture him to
face the courts.
Sol, another brother, died at the
hands of the law, being shot down by
officers last February after an escape
from guards taking him from the
penitentiary, to which he had twice
been. sentenced for life, to the bed
side of Mother" Fleming, who in her
mountain home lay i'll.

KIDS NOR SANTA
ON W. SIDE VISIT
Traffic is Disrupted and
Extra f0iice LII Ll..y
as Kris Arrives.
HE DISTRIBUTES CANDY

IF there were any kids in Kenosha
missing from the North Shore station
yesterday when Santa Claus arrived to
pay a visit to the stores of the West
Side Business Mems association, there
was something radically wrong at
home. An observer would judge they
were all there, and some more.
Such was the crowd at the station,
and all along Elizabeth street from
the station as far as Rowland avenue,
as Santa made his round of the stores,
that traffic was totally disrupted.
Santa Claus arrived aboard the 2:40
North Shore train from the south as
per schedule, but the train he arrived
on had to feel its way into the sta
ton from Salem avenue on account
of the crowds that lined the tracks.
When the patron saint of holiday
time debarked at the station he was
nearly mobbed. Caps, rubbers, nit
tens were lost in the mob scene, but
nobody was hurt. 1t was a good
natured bunch.
Santa Claus Visits Stores.
The bunch followed Santa Claus
down Elizabeth street as he made his
way to each Of the twenty-nine stores
which compose the West Side Bust
ness Mems association. In each of
the stores he distributed sacks of
candy to the kids.
Some time before Santa Claus ar
rived the mob was anticipated, and
James Dolan of the North Shore took
charge of the traffic arrangements at
the station. He called for police re-
serves, and a good sized squad of
extra police was sent out to keep
order. Police were stationed all along
Elizabeth street as far as Rowland
avenue and one way traffic was main
tanned. Police were stationed at
every street corner and as many as
three at some intersections.
The force of extra city police was
augmented by twelve North Shore men
put on special duty by Mr.. Dolan.

Coal Talk Off Till
Christmas Is Over

Scranton, Pa al = Prospects Of
resumption of wage negotiations be-
tween anthracite operators and miners
before Christmas appeared slight to-
day. Mayor John Durham, chairman of
a committee of mayors and burgesses
Of the hard coal field, was hopeful tha.
the opposing groups would be brought
together in the near future
The committees plans for meeting
here today were abandoned when the
operators insisted on written asstr-
ance that the miners would not limit
the discussion to Gov. Pinchot's peace
plan. This plan provides for a limited
check-off and an inquiry as to the pos
sibility of wage increase.
John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers, had accepted
Mayor Durkan's invitation to attend
the meeting today, but after being adj
yised late last night of the operators
view, cancelled his arrangements TO
come to Scranton and made prepara-
tions to spend the Christmas holidays
at his home in Springfield, Ill.

FOOD LAWS ARE
NOT A JOKE
Food Inspection in Wiscon-
sin Most Effective De-
clares Official.
ENFORCE THE LAWS

Madison, Wis. = M, Food in
spection in Wisconsin is effective and
efficient and is saving the people Of
the state more than the entire cost of
state government, j. @. Emery, state
dairy and food commissioner, declared
today.
Commissioner Emery declared that
conditions reported by the National
Civil Service Reform league do not ex-
list in Wisconsin. He made it plain,
however, that he was not speaking for
other states. Wisconsin has had a
lone and difficult but successful fight
for more foods, he said.
The league reported that it had
reached the conclusion that food in
spection in the United States was
practically negligible from a public
health standpoint.
No Joke in Wisconsin.
II don't think the people of Wis
consin regard the state food laws and
their enforcement as joke" Mr.. En-
cry said. "The laws are excellent and
they are effectively and efficiently en-
forced, notwithstanding handicaps.
1.-THE saving to the people that the
dairy and food department is making
in its fight against the widespread
adulteration and frauds exceeds in
amount the entire cost of state gov
eminent"
Commissioner Emery pointed out
that the situation in Wisconsin is
covered by state laws and that his
department enforces the laws and does
not have any power of discretion in
making rules and regulations.
Has Been Uphill Fight.
"We have had to fight for the regu-
1ation of foods i'm Wisconsin," Mr..
Emery declared" and we have won.
This state was a pioneer in the fight
against chemical preservatives, and as
a result of our activities foods in Wis
consin are free from such preserva-
tives. Articles Of food now on sale in
Wisconsin retail markets are whole
some"
The commissioner asserted that the
food inspection service in this state
is free of plumbing inspectors and
petty politicians" and that his force,
picked under the civil service, oper-
ates with efficiency and integrity. The
National Civil Service Reform league
was quoted as having reported that
food inspection was being done in
many instances by plumbing inspec-
tors, sheriffs, and petty politicians,
who were unable to- suspect modern
methods CT Disgusting bad food.
