TREASURY CASES END.
Attorney General Mylrea Decides
that the Judgments Have
Been Signed.

Madison, Wis, July 16.-What is left of
the famous cases against the ex-state
treasurers and their bondsmen in this
state was practically disposed of today
when Attorney General Mylrea author
lied the statement that he would follow
the directions of the law passed by the
last Legislature and satisfy the judg-
ments against eX-Yreasurers Ferdinand
kuehn of Milwaukee, Henry Baetz of
Manitowoc, and the balance unpaid by
4. {. McFetridge of Beaver Dam. The
amounts in which each of the eX-treas-
urers and their bondsmen were involved,
and which is thus released by the state,
is respectively as follows: Kuehn, $1OS,-
2G3.63; Baetz, 75,4OS.OS; McFetridge,
$50, S1o.4S; a total of over 100000.
This action will probably end the litiga-
ton. Mr.. McFetridye has already ex-
pended his private fortune in Hquidating
judgments against him. Neither Kuehn
nor Baetz have any property and the
judgments against them would in most
part have to be satisfied by the estates
of bondsmen deceased, including those
of the late jeremiah Rusk, Alexander
Mitchell and Guido Pfster. Interest in
the cases has been great because of the
political complexion given them. The
question of constitutionality was raised
and the attorney general has had the
matter under consideration since last
April.
Attorney General Mylrea was frank in
sta ting that it is his honest belief after a
most thorough investigation that these
laws were constitutional and that it is
his plain duty to take the proper steps
for their final satisfaction, as directed by
the Legislature.
Ex-Chief Justice Orsamus Cole and a
leading firm of Milwaukee lawyers con-
Cured in this opinion.

arms today over the latest orders from
the government regarding the use of wa
ter for power purposes. Yesterday after
closing down the water wheels, the mill
owners were ordered to close their head
gates so as to save every drop OF water
possible towards raising the level of
Lake Winnebago. This morning water
locks so as to enable river craft to get
up to the lake. In an interview this
morning +. Il. Russell of the Neenah
paper mills said: 1T is shame the
way things are going on. Yesterday the
government ordered us to close even our
headgates and today water is being
sluiced through the Menasha locks at Il
total waste to the mill men. Enough
water will be wasted in that way today
to turn any four water wheels in the
city. If they are going to let water
through to raise the river why not let 1T
90 through the mills? The same end
will be obtained" Other mill men ex-
press their Indignation in a like manner.

night will be in operation tonight. The
electric street cars and street lights are
still shut off, but upon arrival of Assist
ant Secretary of War Doe here in a few
days it is confidently expected arrange
ments can be made for the use Of part of
the flow of the river, which will restore
the street car and light service and enable
the mills to force the water to help out
what steam they have and turn out a
partial product. Navigation has been
much impeded since the shutdown, the
water in the government canals and river
channels below Menasha having been
lowered to point lower than reached
before this season. except during the
former shutdown, when navigation was
as now practically suspended.

necessary evidence. They claim to be
able to do this, however, and are not will
ing to let go III any of the cases.

Kenosha, Wis, July 17.-[Special i
The state board of arbitration will be
called upon to settle the strike in this
city, which at present threatens to extend
to nearly every mandatory in Kenosha.
A few minutes before noon Mayor Farr
autographed to the chairman of the board
of arbitration and requested that the
board come to Kenosha at once and set
tie the difficulty between the employees
and the manufacturers. 1t is the first time
the board has been called upon to settle
a strike and the result will be awaited
with interest by every manufactures.
The recent Sheboygan strike demonstrate
ed that the board of arbitration could
have saved a great deal of trouble had
it been called upon. Mayor Farr stated
this morning that he did not propose to
wait until the strike spread before en-
deavoring to effect settlement He
feels confident that if the board will
act promptly in the matter there will be
attic trouble in coming to an amicable
understanding.
The prospects are that the strike will
spread to other branches by tomorrow I'M
aess check is placed upon it in the
meantime. This morning an additional
fifty men quit work at the Chicago Brass
works, making a total of 125 now out.
The men who went out were employed in
ern Wire Mattress works twenty men
in the folding department left their places
and Joined the strike. There is also a
probability that the men at Allen Sons
tannery will go out before tonight.
The strikers met this morning and
paraded about the principal business
streets and halted at Bains orchard,
where a meeting was held. Speeches
were made by some of the men, but
nothing was said that would incite the
men to violence. 1t was decided to
have the neutrality-suspicious. committees
confer with the employers and endeavor
10 effect a settlement in a peaceable
manner Additional committees were
appointed to meet all incoming trains
and warn outside workmen of the situa-
ton and ask them to remain away from
the works. Mr.. futile, one of the OWN
erS of the Chicago Brass works, is in
Chicago at present and all efforts to COM
municate with him have failed. 1t is
not known whether he will agree to the
demands of the men or not. The North
western Wire Mattress people claim it
as a dull season with them and that they
were obliged to reduce the time from ten
TO eight hours day.
