E. Jones, president of the company filed an annual report with the secretary of state on February 21, 1916, showing that the paid up capital had been reduced to that about February 1, 1918, the company filed its report with the secretary of state, showing that the company had a fully paid up capital of $200,000. The report said that no business had been transacted by the company during the preceding year. The plaintiff avers that it is not true that the Central Wisconsin Construction company has a paid up capital of $200,000 or any other amount. Allegations are made that the company never had any paid up capital stock at the time any reports were filed with the state, and that the reports were false and that the company has no assets whatever, and that the reports were made to deceive its creditors.

It is declared that no record can be found that the company has been listed for taxation in the state. The petition set forth that the Northern Timber Products company on March 1, 1916, agreed to furnish timber to the Central Wisconsin Construction company on representation that it had a contract with the Wisconsin Interurban System to build miles of track between Madison and Janesville; that on the strength of a contract entered into, the timber company advanced the construction company $5,000 in cash. Later, it is alleged, it supplied 060 worth of The accusation is made that when the $5,000 was paid to the construction company it was turned over to the Wisconsin Interurban System as were all the ties shipped to the con struction company. "Hadn't a Dollar J. E.

Jones, according to the complaint, when asked for payment of the amount due the timber company, declared that the company "Hadn't a dollar in the world." This notwithstanding the fact that the nual report of 1918 showed that the sum of $94,000 had been paid in as capital during the preceding year and that no business had been transacted. The Wisconsin Interurban Sys tem was incorporated in 1909 under the name of the Chicago and Wisconsin Valley Railroad with an 111- thorized capital of $25,000 which was subsequently increased to $484,00. The name was changed in 1910 to Chicago and Wisconsin Vatley Street Railways company; again it was changed to the Chicago and Wisconsin Valley Interurban Street Railways company and finally in 1917 it was changed to the Wiscon sin Interurban System. street railway in Portage, The company put in a operation, extending about two and one-kalf miles. This was operated until about January, 1917.

On March 29, 1917 the state rairoad commission granted the company a certificate of public converience and necessity, granting the right to build a line from Madison to Portage and through other towns t. Janesville. The city of Madison had granted a franchise prior to granting of the certificate and a line was built down East Washington avenue and other streets, the whole extending about two and one-half miles. The 'rms of the franchise provided that the line should be completed and in op eration by December 1, 1916. The franchise was revoked by the city council on Jan.

25, 1918. The petition alleges that after the franchise had been granted and the certificate of convenience necessity had been obtained the company applied to the railroad commission for permission to issue $600,000 bonds under the trust deed to the Chicago Title and Trust company and William Niblack, trustees and have the trust deed to the Con- ADVERTISEMENT After each meal -YOU eat one FATONIC (FOR YOUR STOMACH'S SAKE and get full food value and real stomach comfort.

Henry Lewis, State and Gilman Madison, Wis. tinental and Commercial bank cancelled so that the proposed issue of $600,000 bonds under the trust deed to the Chicago Title and Trust compary and William Niblack would be first lien upon the property.

It is alleged that the company proposed to the creditors who were mecured by the deposit of one year notes amounting to $660,000 under the trust deed that if the security was released, the defendant would give in lieu a deposit in trust of onehalf of the proposed $800,000 bond issue and it would give a contract to Pain, Clancy and Cartensen to sell the entire bond issue at a price named, and of the proceeds of the sale, one-half should be paid the creditors, the timber company and other creditors secured by the deposit of the $560,000 issue of one year notes. The creditors agreed to accept this proposal, it is alleged, and contract was entered into June 14, 1917. The plaintiff says in its complaint that it believes that after the contract was signed, a collateral agreement was made by the Wisconsin Interurban System and Pain, Clancy and Cartensen whereby the last named agreed to advance the company $30,000 to be paid before any bonds were sold. It is alleged that no bonds have been sold and that the company which had them for sale has refused to give the timber company any information concerning them. The bond agents, however, claim, the plaintiff avers, that they have advanced J.

E. Jones $7,800 in cash and that they performed "services" for the interurban company to the amount of 200 and that they have a lien upon the bonds for $18,000. The right to this lien is denied in the petition. The Northern Timber Products company declares that J. E.

Jones as president of the corporations issued stock to parties who had not paid for it and as the amount is not known, will seek discovery. That the Wisconsin Interurban System deceived the state railroad commission in its financial statement upon which permission to issue the $600,000 bonds was granted is alleged. The statement was made that $33,000 worth of stock had been fully paid for in labor, when in truth not more than 25 per cent of the amount had thus been paid and that 75 per cent of I SERGT.

FOURTH CASE OF TAR PARTY NEAR ASHLAND Citizens of Northern Wisconsin Again Start Operations of Lawlessness FARMER IS TAKEN Bayfield County People Dispense With Law and OrderDefi to Governor GOV. PHILIPP'S STATEMENT "I have wired the sheriff of Bayfield county to use every effort to apprehend the perpetrators of the crime," said Governor Philipp commenting, Martin Johr.son of Sweden, Bayfield county, today. "He is directed to make immediate reports to this office of the progress made." ASHLAND, Following the lead of Ashland, some Bayfield courty people have decided to take the law into their own hands and administer it, without the assistance of courts. The first act has been a tar and feather party.

It is a defi to Gov. Philipp, who said such parties should cease. Bayfield county has an organization of the Knights of Liberty ac cording to feports from Grandia View when tar and feather urday night. The subject visited by the Knights was Martin Johnson, farmer residing near Sweden. He is reported to have made disloyal marks regarding the government and also to have cast slurs on the Red Cross and its work.

His fuse was reported to the U. S. District Attorney but as no action was taken official the Bayfield County Knights got busy. The company that administered the coating of tar is reported to have acted in a business like manner. They appeared in an automobile at Johnson's house at about nine o'clock and asked to be directed to a fishing stream in that vicinity.

He went with them to show them the way and as soon as he was away from the house he was seized, thrown into the auto and taken to a secluded spot where the tar and feathers were applied. He did not recognize any of the party and no clue to the perpetrators of the deed has been secured. This is the fourth tar and feather party in this section of the state, without any arrests being made by the state.

Do you know that you folks at home as well as the brave boys "'over there" are menaced by "poison gas" --the insidious kind that steals away health and the joy of living, in the perpetually recurring disturbances resulting from a gassy, sour stomach. 1200 New York physicians regularly prescribe JOHN'S DIGESTIVE TABLETS as the most perfect form of relief known for these stomach disorders. The TABLETS are highly beneficial for gastric and intestinal indigestion, heartburn, acid or sour stomach, flatulence and gastric catarrh. They sure do vanish that poison gas which is the basis of most stomach ailments, as well as banish bad breath which usually heralds that gas-filled stomach.

Get the TABLETS at your drug store. They insure quick, lasting relief by taking three to six dissolved in a glass of water or chewed before swallowing.

"With the relief of man power by the suspension of useless service and by the substitution of women in tasks which women can readily form there will remain more to be done upon the farm, and there is opportunity from time to time for women to work on the land. A Spur to Idle Men "I will despise American manhood if the great body of our men permit our women to be drafted for these hard tasks of agriculture until we have sent every abl creature in breeches to the trenches or drive him to the fields; but women are to be encouraged, as far as their physical condition will permit or the cumstances advise, to engage in the lighter tasks of the farm- dairy work, vegetable cultivation and fruit harvesting.
