Plover, Wis, Jan 21.-John Lukaze-
Wig, clerk of School district No &, in the
town of Plover, has made himself very
unpopular by his management of the
building of new school, and on Satur-

avowed purpose of hanging him. The
residents of the district are nearly all
Polish, and the unpopular school official
may vet suffer violence. Lukazevig got
word on Saturday night that Il meeting
of the Board of Education that had
been called would not be conducted az
cording to parliamentary rules, and he
secured the protection of the officers of
the law, who attended the meeting.
The meeting was lively one, and it is
claimed that several men came provided
with ropes to hang the clerk. They
were prevented from acts of violence
by the presence of the officers.

Commodore Hichborn Gives Advice Coz
cerning Armor Plate

Washington, March H-Commodore
Hichborn, chief OF the bureau of con-
struction and repair of the navy de-
partment, today gave the senate COM
mittee on naval affairs his opinion as
to the advisabi Of erecting a gov
eminent plant at Washington for the
manufacture Of armOr plate. He ad-
yised against the undertaking, saying
that a pIant. independent of the ground
for the site. would cost about s2.O0o.0eO
and that il would be impossible 10 keep
the works in operation all the time
Skilled labor was necessary in the max
ing of armor plate and this work would
not be continuous, il would be neces-
sary. in order 10 hold the workmen, 10
paw them for much idle time. With
private works it was different as IN
those the armor plate makers could be
put al something else when not engas-
ed in this line of labor.
The committee also listened to sug-
eestions from Leutenants Meigs and
Stone. both retired naval officers, the
former being connected with the Beth
Iehem and the latter with the Carnegie
works.
They were questioned especially on
the process of manufacturing and the
inspection OF armor plate.
