Because of an advertisement of the "Ten-Cent Taxis" eppearing In the Fress-Oazette, announcing that a "council-forced 6-ccnt Insurance tax" would be added to the basic cost of the ride, the whole matter of the re-rent taxi ordinance will be reopened, it was derldea at last night's meeting of the city council. The council got off to a good start in its first meeting of the new year, which only lasted 45 minutes. The taxi matter and discussion of poor department matters took up most of that time with the exception of the usual routine. Hansen Reads "Ad" Councilman Harry Hansen read the advertisement In question, which stated, in part: "In order to meet the requirements imposed on us by the city council, we are forced to put into effect at once an insurance tax of 5 cents per patron. It was not the desire of this organization to place this handicap on the riding public, but ttfter cabs have operated on the streets of Green Bay for 50 years, the council has decided to enforce the cab ordinance.

You can still ride for ten cents plus the council-forced s-rent Insurance tax." "That's too strong." declared Councilman Hansen, "we should not permit statements of that kind to go unchallenged In our local press. I move that the cfiuncil pass a vote of censure for the writers of this advertisement and that the city attorney prepare an ordinance to require meters on all taxlcabs." "The Joke of that 'ad' is that this man hasn't either taken out a license or paid his insurance," replied Mayor Diener. "I'd say he was taking money under false pretenses." Says System I'nfalr Councilman Sickel declared that the present system, under which only five of the many taxicabs operating here have complied with the terms of the ordinance, which requires, among other things, p-rsonal liability insurance costing $200 a year, was very unfair. Councilmen Biemerct and Huvbrccht agreed. "The trouble is that your ordinance isn't any good," replied the mayor, "it doesn't require any insurance against property damage." "But what there is Is enforceable," commented Councilman Martin.

"Well, we should do something about it," the mayor stated, "as It Is, we're being criticized very severely." Finally, the ordinance was referred back to the Judiciary committee, with orders to hold a public hearing to ascertain what kind of regulation Is desired. Councilman Hansen's motion for a vote of censure and universal use of meters was forgotten, although the statement was made that Madison tried to enforce a metering ordinance and got into more trouble than ever. Ask Bids on Milk The board of public works was Instructed to advertise for bids to furnish approximately 500 quarts of pasteurized milk daily to families served by the city poor department. Bids may be submitted In three ways: for the entire amount, for approximately 250 quarts on the east side and for a like amount on the west side. The bidding will be open to all dealers in pasteurized milk and will be for c'clivery in quarts and pints to addresses furnished by the poor department.

(Picture on Page 4) Terms of ten years each in the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth were imposed in Federal court at Milwaukee today on Joseph H. Tayler, 73, former president of the McCartney National bank and later chairman of the board of directors, and Omer M.

Klley, 43, former cashier of the Na tlonal Bank of De Pere, on charges of misapplying the funds of those institutions. Kiley pleaded guilty Dec. 12 to flvi counts of misapplication. Tayler was convicted Dec. 16 of three counts of misapplication, three of falsification of records and one of falsifying a report to the comptroller of the cur-teney.

The De Pere banker was sentenced to serve a concurrent term on each of the five counts. Tayler will serve five years concurrently on the misapplication counts and then five years concurrently on the falsification counts. Mrs. Kaquatosh Gets IS Month Rachel Kaquatosh, Menominee Indian woman, was sentenced to 18 months in the Milwaukee house ot correction on her plea of guilty to a charge of Involuntary manslaughter in connection with the, death of he small niece on the reservation, al kgedly as the result of a beating. Herman Pletsch, former assistant postmaster of Milwaukee, was sentenced to five years-ln Leavenworth and a $2,500 fine for pilfering money from letters, after Judge Gelger had dented a motion for a new trial, in which Pietsch's attorneys claimed that he was not mentally responsible for his acts at the time he was stealing from the malls.

Sentence was Imposed on Taylef after Judge Gelger had overruled the plea of James H. McGillan for a new trial and after Edward J. Gehl, United States attorney, had put L. J. Bosworth, receiver of the closed bank, on the stand to rebut McGillan's statement that "In fifty years the government has only been able to raise four counts against this man and had to go back to 1930 for some of them." Bosworth told of apparent shortages in the affairs of the Real Estate Development company, the Bellln Memorial hospital trust fund and the Abrams and Martin estates, all of which were under Taylcr's control.

Objects To Instructions At the outset, Atty. McGillan declared himself unable to admit any wilful intent to defraud on the part of his client, and contended that "wilful" carries the sense of evil intent, differing from the court's defl-nation to the Jury that such implication was unnecessary, "wilful" meaning merely that one Intended the natural consequences of his act. The court's instructions on this point, the defense counsel declared, were almost equivalent to directions to the Jury to find Tayler guilty. "Joe Tayler didn't wreck that bank," he said, "If he had been allowed to continue as the head of it "Have you any further argument, Mr. McGillan?" interrupted the court, who then expressed his surprise that the objections to the instructions had not been made at the time of their delivery.

They fell far short of declaring that the defendant was presumed to be guilty, Judge Gelger asserted, and reiterated his belief that the defendant's presumption of the natural consequences of his act Justified the use of "wilful." Mr. McGillan then objected further to the exclusion of testimony concerning similar acts on the part of other directors of the bank, and to the effect that the bank examiner's style was followed in preparing the report to the comptroller on which the seventh count was based.

COLUMN 8 GERMAN WAR ACE IS HELD AS SUSPECT IN COUNTERFEIT PLOT Arrested by Secret Service Agents On Trial of International Ring. NEWARK, N. J. (U.R) Secret service agents on the trail of an in ternational counterfeiting ring, today held a prisoner described a.s Enrique von Buelnw, a German World war ace.

on a charge of delivering $30,000 spurious United States currency to Montreal agents. The suspect was found hiding In the cabin of a Montreal plane when it landed at Newark airport. Von Buclow was held a.s a federal prisoner. It was learned that the counterfeiting ring being sought was wanted for passing bogus bills in Mexico, Guatemala, and other foreign countries in addition to Canada. It was Von Buelow's passion for airplanes that led directly to his arrest.

When he left Montreal yesterday, secret service agents were notified. Von Buelow's arrest last was not the first time he has been In public notice. He married the wealthy widow of former Alderman Nathan Brenner, of Chicago, on May 7, 1029, at Crown Point, Ind. Later, while the two were living in their gold coast home, three armed men broke In and robbed the bride of $50,000. Two months later Mrs.

Brenner brought perjury charges agalast Von Buclow. charging he married her under a false name. She won a divorce.

BY I1AV1I LAWRENCE (Sptriul llitpalrh, Copyright) WASHINGTON President-elect Rcoirvrlt will hav his first taste of legislative complexities tomorrow when he meets with the democratic Indus of both houses Including the chairmen of Important commit t'-es. Until now Mr.

Roo.cvclt has had Individual consultations but he has never had presented to him the legislative situation as a wiinle. The conform which Is to hoi at his heme In New York will mirk the beginning of a program or policy for the democrats at the short bcsslon which "ends on March 4. 1'ore are the ess. ntlal point i which will be considered at the lercnces: rolnlJ Are Outlined 1. Shall an attempt be made at tho present session to balance the budget by reducing expenditures and new taxes? 2.

Shall attempts made to avoid fpecial session with full realization of the fact that. If this Is not practicable, a time shall be fixed for tho 3. Shall reorganization proposals to consolidate and transfer bureius killed and a new pian formulated lor the extra session. 4. Shall farm relief be pushed hrnd together with the beer bill Irrespective of probable vetoes by Mr, Hoover? Hudqet Biff Problem There are other collateral questions which must necessarily become Interwoven In any legislative discussion but the basic and fundamental elements are contained in the foiego-lng; outline.

The most perplexing Item of course is the balancing of ths budg't. The Democrats to diitc have no constructive plan to bring about the economies needed to operate the government without a deficit. In fact they have revealed no plan at all. If, or the other hand, it Is their purpose to balance the budget by Increased revenues, they have not agreed anions themselves on a form of taxation which will do the trick. Much of the ind'-clsion and uncertainty Is due to unramiliarlty wl'h what Mr.

Roosevelt may have in mind. In fact tomorrow's conference Is a direct outgrowth of the apparent confusion revealed lart week when some democratic leaders Intimated that they would favor the sales tax, and the very next day reports firm President-elect Roosevelt's oftice In Albany declared that he did not favor any such tax. It will take Mr. Roosevelt considerable time to become fairly acquainted with all the legislative probrms with which he is going to be confronted, but It Is bcli ved he has definitely In mind now. some of the principles tip-on which he wishes his administration to begin.

Will Determine Fate The question of extra session of course depends on what cooperation the democrats can get from their opponents. To date Mr. Hoover has fail ed in Retting Mr. Roosevelt cooperation on the war debt problem and It Will not be surprising if the democrats sought help from the republicans in avoiding an session. It no happens that the conservative Interests of the country ara eager to postpone for a.s long a timo as possible the convening of a new congress and therefore whatever pressure these conservatives can will be applied to brinT about republican cooperation.

This would, on the other hand, however, not Include such experimental measures as the new domestic allotment, plan for farm relief which will be bitterly fought by the republicans and will be vetoed by President Hoover in the event that a coalition of democrats and Insurgent republicans succeed in putting it through. The conference bctwe'n Mr. Roosevelt and the congressional leaders this week will reallv determine the fate of much legislation, for on the decisions reached will depend the extent to which republican cooperation can be obtained and also the Importance of the Items that will b8 left ever to force an extra session Mr. Roosevelt to all Intents and purposes will begin to function this week in his new role of leader of the democratic party inside as well as outside of congress. buildingTerviceor farmers is planned MADISON, A practical building plan service for farmers is the objective of a series of conferences between lumber and farmers, the first of which was scheduled for Janesville today.

FAILED TO Sen.

Johnson Would Bar Defaulters From U. S. Money Markets. WASHINGTON (U.R) Senator Johnson, in a bitter speech excoriating war debt cancel-lionists and defaulters, called on congress today to bar from the American money market all foreign debtors who repudiated their obligations to the United States or the American citizens. Johnson has such a bill before the senate finance committee.

In the midst of his war debt speech today he announced he would demand senate action at this session.

It states that it was "contrary to the best interests of the United States" to permit foreign debtors to float loans in the United States until they had funded their debts. He said thu state department so informed American international bankers who sought to distribute foreign securities in American markets.

"Before this session of congress closes I shall ask that such a policy be enacted into law," Johnson shouted, his face lined with furious passion and his fists flailing the air as though punching a bag- "They Keep spoils" "They would have us pay the cost of war while they keep the spoils." Johnson had recalled how European nations pleaded during the war for financial assistance. "They said 'our backs are to the he continued, "and I recall how they prayed for the United States to come to their assistance. 'The American people paid the price. It wa.s pleaded and demanded that they give until it hurts and they gave with a patriotism unparalleled. Our people In some instance beggared themselves to do their duty and buy government bonds."
