Passes Bill Prepared by Judi- clary Gommittee, | NO STATE-WIDE PRONIBITION Measure Ofiered by Representative Lobeck of Alexandria Killed in the House—Anti-Treating Bill Meets the Same Fate—House in Committee of the Whole Recommends Passage of Bill to Reduce Mortgage Registry Tax. St. Paul, March 24.—After a speech by Senator G. P. Wilson the senate the bill killing the trading stamp. The bill was one prepared by the judiciary committee after argu- ment in which the best lawyers of the state talked on the constitutionality of the proposed act. The bill pro- hibits the usual trading stamp, but permits them when the article is stated for which the stamp is good and provided that no definite number. of stamps be required before some- thing is obtainable. Two state senators indulged in per- sonalities at the meeting of the sub- committee of the senate roads and bridges committee appointed to appor- tion the $300,000 road and bridge ap- propriation, generally known as the “pork barrel.” The approtionment _of two years ago, with a 50 per cent in- crease to use up the additional $100, 000, was made in all except two coun- ties. It was over these two counties that the miniature storm occurred, and it ended by the sub-committee passing a motion to reduce the amount for Meeker county by $75, and apply it to Todd county. The measure offered by B. E. Lo- beck of Alexandria providing for a state-wide prohibition and Represen- tative Lee's antitreating bill were both killed in the house. There were sixty-one votes against the former and thirty-eight for it, while Lee’s motion for rejecting an adverse report on his measure was lost by a vote of 40 to 59. Trayer Bill Recommended to Pass. The Thayer bill providing a stamp tax on board of trade sales of 1 cent per $100 was recommended for pass- age by the house after a lively de- bate. I. H. Johnson of Minneapolis tried to amend the bill so that any broker who paid a $30 license fee would escape the stamp tax, but this did not carry. The house committee of the whole recommended for passage F. T. “White’s bill placing sheriffs on a sal- ary basis all over the state. Henry Rines of Mora opposed the bill be- cause it increased the cost to the countics in most cases, but the motion was adopted by a vote of 47 to 45. The house in committee of the whole recommended for passage Representa- tive Stuart’s bill reducing the mort- gage registry tax from 50 cents to 10 cents on $100. The vote was thirty- four to fifty-four. This is a substi- tute for Mr. Stuart’s former bill, which exempted them entirely from taxation. There was a question as to the con- stitutionalily of exempting them en- tirely, so he proposed this nominal tax. The Stuart bill applies only to mortgages on real estate. A bill for a nowinal tax of three mills on other credits, such as state, county and mu- nicipal bonds, notes, accounts, tax certificates and the like was intro- duced by C. M. Bendixen of Morgan and T. J. Kneeland of Minneapolis. passed Kerry Conley of Rochester intro- duced a bill in the house designed to permit a packing plant to locate at the proposed Armour site provided it is true, as Minneapolis contends, that modern packing plants are odorless and inoffens His bill requires any person, firm or corporation establish- ing a soap factory, tannery, stock yard, rendering plant, packing plant or any other business of a nature that may be offensive within four miles of any state institution of learning, to give a bond to the state in a sum equal to 25 per cent of the cost of the plant, which bond shall be for- feited to the state whenever their plant becomes offensive or obnoxious to the state institutions and they do not remove the offense. Some of the house members are sor- ry now that they passed the new prison bill, and a resolution for a committee of five to investigate the wmatter was presented to the house. WOULD CHANGE OLD METHOD Mr. Loudenslager Tired of Taking| Back Seat in House. ‘Washington, March 24.—After six- teen years in congress Representative Loudenslager of New Jersey has be- come tired of taking a back seat in the house. So he introduced a reso- lution designed to. relieve the situa- tion. g Mr. Loudenslager wants a change in the method of drawing for seats. At present all members take “pot luck” in a lottery for seats. For some years Mr. Loudenslager’s little marble has not come out of the box until the best seats were chosen, Now he proposes to have the mem- bers draw according to the length of service, YAFT APPROVES SENTENGE Major Fremont, Son of “Pathfinder,” Dismissed From Army. ‘Washington, March 25. — Major Francis P. Fremont, Fifth United States infantry, is to be dismissed from the army as a result of his con- victlon by courtmartial in Cuba on MAJOR FREMONT. the charge of insubordination, Presi- | dent Taft having approved the sen- tence of the court. Major Fremont is a son of the “Pathfinder” and is now stationed at Plattsburg Barracks, N. Y. KILLS DAUGHTER ON NEW YORK STREET Father Prevented From Shooting Himself by Passerhy. New York, March 25.—Within sight of several of her schoolteacher friends and pupils on the way to school through a crowded street on the upper East Side Miss Anna A. Mangano, a teacher in a public school, was shot and instantly killed by her father, Pbillip Mangano, a court interpreter. He then turned the revolver on him- self, but was prevented from carrying out his purpose by Adolph Schwartz, & young man, who grappled with him. Two more shots were fired while the men struggled, but both went wild. Mangano broke away from Schwartz, but was overtaken and arrested by two policemen. At the police station Mangano re- fused to say anything about himself, but a bank book in the names of Anna Mangano and Phillip Mangano led to the discovery of his identity. Frank Lacatira, a brother-in-law of the dead schoolteacher, later appeared at the police station and identified the pris- oner as the dead girl’s father. Laca- tira told the police that his sister-in- law was compelled to leave her father’s house last January because of his cruel and inhuman treatment of her and had lived at a working girls’ home in Lexington avenue since then. He said that Mangano probably shot his daughter in a spirit of revenge because she had left him. REITERATES HER CHARGES Mme. Gogorza Files New Affidavit in Divorce Case.

Eames any moral delinquencies, but holds her responsible for De Gogorza part- ing from his wife in that the singer permitted his devotion to herself to continue.

MYSTERY ABOUT WOMAN Female Suspect Arrested at Cleve- land Said to Have Been at One Time Closely Connected With the Whitla Family—Man Behind the Bars Says He Is James Boyle, a Sharon (Pa.) Plumber. LR T R R R K # Cleveland, March 25—Willie < Whitla identified the man and * * woman in custody as the couple <+ who acted as his caretakers « < while hidden in an East End ++ apartment building. * Rl R SR T T S S S T R Cleveland, March 25.—Mr. and Mrs. James P. Whitla and their son Will- iam, who was kidnapped and held in ransom for $10,000 and who was re- covered Monday evening upon the payment of that sum; their daughter and Harry Forker, a brother of Mrs. ‘Whitla, all of Sharon, have arrived here and will undertake to identify the man and woman who are held at the station on the charge of the kid- | napping. The man who is detained at the sta- tion admitted that he was James Boyle. He said he was a plumber and that his home was in Sharon. He in- sists that the woman is his wife, but she will not divulge her identity, de- claring that there is a great surprise in store for the Whitlas when they call at the jail and meet her face to face. Was Former Resident of Sharon. 1t is learned that a plumber by the name of James Boyle was a former resident of Sharon and that the man was in that place about two weeks ago to attend the funeral of his uncle, James Boyle, the proprietor of the Shenango House, a hotel under which Boyle formerly had his plumbing es- tablishment. The utmost secrecy was observed by the Whitlas on their departure from Sharon. This fact was probably due to the many sensational rumors that are afloat in regard to the kid- napping. It is said that the woman in the case was at one time closely con- nected with the Whitla family, al- though it is now denied that she is a relative. It is alleged that a divorce suit, which occurred several years ago, is playing -an important part in the af- fair and that it is the desire of the ‘Whitlas to conceal details of a scan- dal. Woman Confesses to Police. After cross-questioning the man and the woman taken into custody as’ sus- pects Chief of Police Kohler said he was confident they are the persons ‘wanted. “The woman has confessed she was in charge of the boy,” said the chief. “She says she was in Cleveland with ‘Willie for four days. “She admits she disguised herself as a nurse while the boy was in her hands. A short time before the peo- ple were picked up by the police we secured her disguise. The moment she entered my office I threw the nurse’s apron over her shoulders and placed the cap on her head and she admitted the goods belonged to her.” ‘When the woman was searched in the police station $9,790 in bills of $5, $10 and $20 denominations were found sewed carefully in her gkirt. All but $40 of the money was done up in $500 packages. KILLED ON BROOKLYN STREET Another Murder Added to List of Black Hand Crimes. 5 New York, March 25.—Another kill- ing which the police declare should be added to the list of crimes of the “Black Hand" society was committed on the streets of Brooklyn when Jos- eph Genearo, a cigarmaker and sup- posed to be the father of a vaudeville performer of that name, was shot and killed in a fusillade of bullets that followed a meeting of Genearo and a crowd of seven Italians. The police made several arrests and Mrs. Ge- nearo, who stood by and implored her husband’s eremies not to shoot him, declared that -Antonio Cincotta, a sa- loonkeeper, one of the prisoners, had killed her husband. Detectives have had Cincotta under surveillance for some time, believing that he might know something of the movements of the “Black Hand” society. APPROVE COMMISSION PLAN Advocates Say It Saved Des Moines $20,000 in One Year. Des Moines, March 25.—The first year of the Des Moines commission plan of municipal government was completed Wednesday and the treas- ury shows a surplus of $20,000 on hand over and above expenditures. In the year previous, under the old sys- tem, there was a deficit of $180,000. Advocates of the plan, therefore, as- sert that the system has saved the city over $200,000 during the past twelve months. TESTIMONY IS INTERESTING Several Witnasses Heard in Wisconsin Senatorial Probe. Madison, Wis., March 25—C. M. Hambright of Racine was the first wit- Bess of the day in the senatorial pri- mary investigation. He said he first decided to support Stephenson in June preceding the primary. He paid out |- $245.50 In behalf of the senator and Wwas given $300 for his services. Most of his expenses were for traveling in the southern and central parts of the state. gt — MORE DEATHS FROM PNEU- MONIA THAN FROM TU- BERCULOSIS. Pneumonia an Infectious Disease. It Oan Be Prevented---A Remarkable Record. [From the Des Moines Register and Leader.] “Why has this season of the year become known as the pneumonia season? Why dur. ing the closing week of the old year were there more deaths in Chicago and New York trom pneumonia than tuberculosis? - Why ire Enepmqqiu and related bronchial trou- bles beginning to take the place of tubercu. losis as the dread scourge of city life? Simpl. and solely because we are devoting too much Ingenuity and_energy to dodging the fresh ond invigorating winter air that every twelve months refrigerates our latitude. It is believed now that pneumonia is an Infectious disease, and that in the cities where the death rate is growing so rapidly it is communicated in the heated and crowded cars. A mickel is go small, and the cold airis 50 chilling, that the American people are for. geuing how to walk. The OILP time red that urned the cheek of childhood does not visit o mature face on an average of once in the twelve months, not even the tred of a chilly and pinched nose. We are getting afraid of the climate, and as a result, the climate is taking its revenge. The mere habit of turning up coat collar has killed thousands of people, and the fur boa has a long list to its account, for no part of the human body becomes delicate more q}\:ickly because of superfluous covering than the throat. And yet we are multiplying devices for turning up more coat collars. 1i is not too early to recognize that this is all wrong, that our climate is here to stay, and that if we are going to live in it with com» fort we must accommodate ourselves to it. It will pay to keep on good terms with the climate.” i - A great many have learned that pneumo- nia may be avoided by taking Chamber. lain’s Cough Remedy whenever they have a cold. Among the tens of thousands who have used this remedy for colds and grip during the epidemics of the past few years, we have yet to learn of a single one having had pneumonia, which should certainly con. vince the most skeptical of the value of that Erepuratian. TIts remarkable cures of colds ave made it a staple article of trade and commerce throughout the United States and in many foreigu countries, For Sale a Barker’s Drug Stere Lester Tilton of Neillsville told of a conversation ~with . M. C. Ring, in which Ring asked him if he would consider running for the assembly against Mr. Bradford and was told that he did not think he would. Mr. Tilton. said that no offer of money ‘was made to him if he would run for the assembly. Further questioning brought out the fact that Tilton wrote a letter to John A. Aylward, the Dem- ocratic candidate for governor, in ‘which he stated that a party came to him and. told him that if he would try for the nomination in the primary for the gssembly with the understanding that he would support Stephenson and the liquor interests he could depend on several hundred dollars for cam- paign purposes. Upon the letter be- ing produced by Senator Husting the witness admitted its authorship. The reading of the letter caused a small sensation, but the witness quali- fled it later by saying the letter was a “little strong,” that he was not of- fered reoney for “campaign expenses” but for his expenses “if-I would get out and hustle for Stephenson.” ENDS KIS LIFE WHEN TRAFPED BY POLICE Suicide's Death Closes Career of Orce Influential Man, Elmira, N. Y., March 25.—A special to the' Star-G: te from Harrisburg, Pa, says Frederic H. Richardson, wanted in this city and in New York for the alleged obtaining of $300,000 on false pretenses and who has been fighting extradition in Chicago, com- mitted suicide when caught by the po- Iice in Harrisbarg. Richardson was trapped in his room in the Hotel Lynch, from which there was no escape. He slammed the door in the face of the chief of police and a minute later ‘killed himself with a bullet through his head. The suicide marked the closing of the career of one of the most infiuential men in Elmira. 2 CIPRIANO CASTRO IN PARIS Former Presideat Guarded by Six Burly Venezuelans. - Paris, Marcii 26.—Cipriano Castro, the former president of Venezuela, arrived in Paris from Dresden on his way to:Bordeauyx, where he will em- bark on the steamer Guadaloupe ‘for South America. Castro’s coming attracted to the railroad station a big crowd. The gov: ernment ignored his arrival, but the police had taken precauticns. These, however, were unnecessary, as Cas tro’s personal bodyguard of half a dozen burly Venezuelans furnished sufficient protection. These ¢ix men have accompanied Castro.everywhere since he first landéd in “Europe last’ year. s 3 Testing Bee Cure for Rheumatism. New York, March 2 .—Contact with the business end of a bee as a cure for rheumatism is an old wrinkle among the farmers up in Connecticut, but ‘a new one at' Roosevelt hospital, where it is now on trial. In two ‘weeks the cases under treatment will probably indicate whether bees should be regularly added to the hospital force. ‘1'0 CURE A COLD INONE DAY, Take LAXATIVE' BROMO Quinine Tablets.
