HIT BY TRAIN
NOT A SCRATCH
Mrs. Krasowsky Steps in
Front of Engine But
is Unhurt.
WALKING ON TRACKS

Mrs. Elizabeth Krasowsky, who lives
with her husband, John Krasowsky, at
900 Park street, is today thanking her
lucky stars that she can tell of the
accident in which she was concerned
on Thursday afternoon. She was walk
ing along the tracks of the Western
division of the Chicago and North
Western railroad between Ridge and
Pleasant streets shortly after four o.
clock on Thursday. The Harvard
train which leaves the Kenosha sta
ton at 4:15 o'clock for points west
had just pulled out of the station.
Mrs. Krasowsky was walking along a
side track and evidently became con-
fused when she heard the locomotive
engineers warning signal. She step
ped Immediately on the main track
just in time to be hit by glancing
blow of the locomotive. She was
thrown to the side of the road.
John Beauchkamp, engineer Of the
train, threw on the breaks at once and
came to the rescue of the woman. The
Hansen ambulance was called and the
woman was rushed to the Kenosha
hospital where DIR. H. A. Robinson was
called.
Found Without a Scratch.
An examination of the woman failed
to reveal even a scratch and the ply
stefan reported that she was only
dazed and frightened from the shock
of the accident. Medical attention was
found unnecessary and she was re-
leased from the hospital short time
later, after sufficient rest.
1t is considered remarkable by wit
nesses to the accident that Mrs. Kras-
owsky was able to escape from the
accident without any injuries of any
kind. The force of the impact was
such as might have caused serious
injuries if the woman had been thrown
directly forward in the path of the
slowly moving locomotive. AS it was
the blow was only glancing one and
today Mrs. Krasowsky is congratulate
ing herself on her close escape.

TAX BILLS NOW
in LIMELIGHT
Blaine Tax Bill Overshad-
ows All Other Legisla-
ton Now.
E0 LID NEIHQ XEfTHENEI
Is UP THIS WEEK

Madisin, Wis. - Overshadowing all
other work of the ninth week of the
Wisconsin legislature is the expected
action Wednesday, on the Blaine in
come tax bill, which in it's original
form proposed to eliminate the per-
sonal property Offset of the present law
and tax dividends of corporations in
addition to changing the tax on cor
porations to a fiat rate of four per
cent.
The bill comes before the state sem
ate, March IL, on the question whether
it shall be enorossed and read third
time, following which if not killed at
this stage or laid over, it will be ready
for vote on passage
Expect An Amendment.
Doubt prevails if the bill will ap-
pear on the senate floor without an
accompanying administration amend
ment drastically changing the original
provisions to meet certain objections.
1t is known that the bill had much dis
cussion within the last few days in
conferences held between Governor j.
Blaine and Senator 0. H. Johnson,
chairman of the senate taxation COM
mittee, and there have been repeated
reports that amendments have been
decided upon materially changing the
bill.
Another report is that the original
bill will be withdrawn and new bill
or a substitute presented, but no con-
firmation of this has been obtained.
Two Other Amendments.
Two amendments already have been
introduced, one by Senator Herman
Bilgrien, Iron Ridge, seeking to salv-
age so per cent of personal property
Offset and to revamp the distribution
clause so that the state would receive
80 per cent of the revenue, the com
munity go per cent and the county,
10 per cent. The amendment also
would remove the tax on dividends.
The other amendment is by Senator
Max Heck. who would change the adj
ministration bill by providing for
monthly inventories on merchant
stocks as a means of arriving at an
average on which to make valuations.
The purpose of the Heck amendment
is not clear to many senator's, mas
much as the reference is 60 the taxing
Of personal property, but it is the be-
lief of several that the amendment is
in anticipation that at least part of
the personal property offset will be re-
turned TO the administration bin be-
fore it is considered by the senate.
Socialist members of the senate have
given notice that the administration
income tax bill is not acceptable in its
present form, and that at least three
amendments will be forthcoming from
them to place the bill! in better light.
There is possibility that the is
ste Will not be deciie5 Wednesday.
IA view cf sctual or expected amend
-nents, for the senate is disposed to
work slowly IN tie consideration OF inn
n.,rIsn& bills, and will require time to
efataine and analyze carefully all
amendments.

STEEL.

Right now the steel industry is OPP
Grating at about 80 per cent Of cap
acity. Although this is little heav-
Ter than the current consumption, it
is believed the output can be main
tanned for some time and that the heav-
Ter seasonal consumption in the near
future will take care of full produc-
ton.
This probably will mean an upward
trend in prices and larger earnings
for operatives.
And with steel favorable the whole
industrial outlook for the United
States is optimistic. Steel is the best
barometer.

Soldier Memorial Too.


The court house is to be placed at
the eastern extremity of the Plaza. At
the western extremity, facing it, will
be the soldier memorial. The distance
between the two will be 1900 feet. The
present public library will face the city
hall group, the intervening distance
being 100 feet. Market street, which
passes in front Of the city hall, run
ming east and west, is to be widened to
100 feet, thus giving a splendid thor
oughfare running through the Plaza.
Twelfth boulevard on the east side of
the Plaza already is more than 100
feet wide. It is possible hall of rec
ords and an education building may be
added later to the grouping. There will
be wide open spaces in the center of
the Plaza with grass plots, shrubbery
and other crnamentations.
Although nos part Of the civic CEN
