Health Department Says Only Fifty-three
In Milwaukee Are Clean.
Madison. Wis, March Ii Especial. l.
The Assembly committee on labor and
manufactures had a short discussion yes
terday afternoon over the Berger labor
bill and the bill to regulate bakeries.
Mr.. Berger addressed the committee on
his bill and answered a number of OBJ
iections that had been raised since he
had last spoken upon it. He said that
if it's provisions would interfere with
farmers and logging companies they
could be amended so as to get around
that difficulty His only object was to
get at manufacturers who do not treat
their employees in a humane manner and
who ought to be brought to time by law.
The committee then took up the bakery
bill and Mr.. Berger read IL report from
the Milwaukee health department which
stated that out of the 247 bakeries in
Milwaukee only ffty-three were clean
and in good condition. Mr.. Berger
thought that the public should be pro
tected from such dirty places.
Joseph Pohlmann of Milwaukee spoke
in opposition to the bill and said shat he
would be willing to have the legislators
visit his bakery at any time. He called
attention to the fact that the city already
has an ordinance regulating bakeries,
and he thought that was sufficient.
Mr.. Berger and Mr.. Pohlmann had a
long discussion over the matter and then
Charles Pohlmann, brother of the other
gentleman of that name, closed the dis
cussion by ridiculing some of the proyis-
ions of the bill.

BADGER SHEEP RANCH.

IMOnCana MAN 1nCon0S I'd ESCa dish
Branch at TreInpea1eau.
Trempealeau, Wis, March 1O-[ Spc-
cial. Jacob Seiben, who halls FROM
point east of the Rockies in Montana,
has been here this week negotiating for
500 acres of bottom lands, which he pro-
poses to use as ranch for resting and
fattening sheep, which are shipped by
rail from his Montana ranch. His plan
is to put the sheep in good condition here
before marketing them in Chicago, and
to likewise hold them here when the
market is low or unfavorable for their
sale. He proposes to keep here con
tinuously from 10000 to $4,000 sheep
and rush them into the metropolitan mar
kets at opportune times.
The project is believed to be backed by
some of the heaviest Western wool
growers, who are figuring Oh high pro
tective tariff under President Mckinney
and a consequent rise in the price of
wool.
The land near this city which is want
ed for the enterprise is quite favorable
for raising and fattening sheep, being
abundant with shady woods, water and
waving grass, besides being in close proX-
unity to the Burlington railway, which
has signifed willingness to sidetrack
to the proposed ranch.

THE MAXWELL CASE.
Senate judiciary Hears Arguments on :
Bill Relating to Minors.

Senate judiciary Hears Arguments on q
Bill Relating to Minors.
Madison, Wis, March 11-[Special l.
The Assembly bill relating to the guar
give the guardians of wards whose
parents reside outside the state, but
whose property is within the state, the
custody of the child as well as of its
property, was considered by the Senate
committee on judiciary yesterday after
noon. It is the bill, which if it be-
comes law. will be applicable to the
famous Markwell case OF Milwaukee.
Judge Keyes Of Madison, whe opposed
the bill, said that it ought not to pass
because it had been introduced for the
purpose of reversing Il recent Supreme
court decision. The right title to the
bill, he said, would he "A Bill TO Rob
the Father of His Child" He thought
it was bad practice to amend general
laws to suit individual eases, and it was
evident that this was the aim of this
bill. If certain nameless parties had not
wished to get around Supreme court
decision the bill would never have been
introduced. He thought it's passage
would set a very bad precedent.
A. l.. Sanborn of Madison made q
short argument against the bill. The
present law had the sanction of age and
the bill which proposed to amend 1t was
so vicious that it shocked the conscience
OF every lawyer III tue STATE. LII an his
experience with legislation he had never
known a more vicious measure to be in
troduced in Legislature. 1t changed
common law that was 1000 years old,
and he could see no reason why it should
be changed.
Mr. Maxwell, the father of the child
over whom the Pereles-Markwell case
was fought appealed to the members of
the committee as fathers to prevent his
| child from being taken away from MN,
which it would be if the bill passed.
