Kennan,' supervisor of assessments for the "Wisconsin Tax Commission, lectured before a large gathering o Marqnette University law students, or. "Income Taxation." He said in part: "Practically every country in the -world, with the exception of the United States, has income tax laws. Ten of these countries have federal income tax laws, while in the other countries the income tax law is administered by political subdivisions, and although forty-five of these countries had the income tax law by 1899, not a single one has repealed the law, and it is still in effect." FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED. Mysterious Death of John Olson At Burr Oak Will Be Investigated By Coroner Kizer. The mysterious death of John Olson, who recently fell from a Nickel Plate train near Burr Oak and afterwards was found dead west of Burr Oak is to be investigated further by the authorities. It is now known that Olson had on his person some $400 or $500 which has not been ac counted for. It is suspected that some one on the train may have robbed him and thrown him from the car. A communication to Coroner Kizer from the Swedish consul at Chicago gave the facts about the money and stated that friends of Olson tried to get him to buy a money order or bank draft before starting from Seattle for the old country, but he would not listen to their advice. He said he would carry his own money. Coroner Kizer now has information that some one saw Olson jump from the train. This information may lead to some definite facts about the cause of death. Dr. Kizer will go to Hibbard and take the testimony of this witness and also get what further information he can on the matter. Under instructions from the Swedish consul at Chicago, the body of Olson was buried, the service being under direction of undertaker W. S. Easterday of Culver. The two grips of Olson, sent to Coroner Kizer from Columbus, O, by the Nickel Plate railway company, gave no information of any value and threw no light on the case. . Obituary.

SIIUSTER'S EXIT FROUTEHERAN Matter Now under Discussion in Washington.

MUST BE CARRIED OUT SAFELY Russian Troops Expected to Act as Escort for Treasurer General and Young Americans Who Have Been His Assistants. Teheran, Dec. 27. W. Morgan Shuster. the American treasurer general of Persia, received the notice of his dismissal in the shape of a formal notification from the government that the Russian ultimatum, which demand ed "among other things the discharge of this official, had been accepted. Mr. Siuster replied that he was -willing to hand over his office' to his succes sor as soon as one had been ap pointed. Washington, Dec. 27. That W. Morgan Shuster will leave Teheran within a few days' Is the expectation of officials of the state department. Discussion of the means by which the treasurer general of Persia and the other Americans associated wtth him shall make their exit is now going on between Washington and the American legation in Teheran. Though the American minister, Charles W. Russell, is- assuming the department is fully informed of developments In Teheran through the news dispatches, according to the department officials, and they say he is sending little definite information regarding Shuster, the department has accepted as a fact the report of the termination of his work for Persia. On exactly what information this conclusion is based is not known . It is well understood here that the departure of Mr. Shuster from Persia will be welcomed by the department with a sigh of relief. The departure of Shuster would dispose of the question of his protection by the United States in Persia" as an American citizen. Owing to the disordered state of affairs in north Persia an armed escort will be provided for Mr. Shuster and his party. As Russia has pushed her troops into that region, that government will be looked to to provide the American party with a safe conduct. The party will include besides Mr. Shuster, his wife, two young daughters, the dozen or more young Americans who have been assisting him in his work for the Persian government and the wires and children of several oHnem. In all the party will number about twenty. DENY RUSSIAN ATROCITIES Russian. Consul at Tabriz Says Such Reports Are Calumnies. St. Petersburg, Dec. 27.

If any innocent persons perished, the I v . . consul says, u was couDtiess due, to the bombardment of houses near the Russian camp from which the Persians fire fusilades. The Russian commander removed children and woman from these houses and conveyed them in safety to the Russian camp. A Caucasion force of nearly 4,000 Is now on the way to Tabriz.

UNDERWOOD SEES DEMOCRATS Villi Thinks His Party Will Elect the Next President.

TELLS WHAT CONGRESS WILL DO Much Needed Legislation to . .Be Cleaned Up by This Congressional Session, and Success in Elections to Follow. Richmond, Va., Dec. 27. Expressing the belief that if the presidential election were held today Taft would be smothered, and venturing the suggestion that whether the same conditions prevail eight months hence depends in some measure upon the Republicans and more largely upon the Democratic party, and predicting that if the Democrats did not become too "sure" of their success. Democracy will be victorious in 1912, Hon. Oscar W. Underwood of Alabama made in an interview a forecast of what the present national house of representatives will do.

As a result of these things he pre dicts a Democratic president in the White House next year, with the proviso that the Democrats do not get "too sure and foolish." Whether him self or Harmon or Woodrow Wilson receive the nomination, the Demo cratic nominee will be elected, thinks Mr. Underwood, unless there are Dem ocratic blunders.
