sHAREHOLDING SYSTEM A FAILURE.
The shareholding principle in the maintenance OF
golf clubs Is proving failure Organizations which
started this basis gradually learning that It
is better to rely fixed yearly dues than on
the huctuating value Of its stock one OF the
striking examples OF this change in method is
furnished by the Chicago Golf Club. which has just
abolished the shareholding system in favor OF the
initiation fee Under the original plan member
other member for whatever the market price might
be at that time, including transfer fee OF SIS TO

from members. With the initiation fee the

on accounted flaws in their applications

case fayorably upon payment of S.. $40.
or $25 cash. whichever sum he thinks he
can pleed his victim for. To others he
represents that their pensions are to be
reduced materially ON account OF
technicalities. bnt that he will fix it all
right for IS or $40 He has operated
quite extensively and profitably in Wis
consin and the pension bureau is using
every effort to apprehend him.
Dunn is about As years OF age, weighs
155 pounds, is feet inches tall, bald,
light complexion, blue eyes, heavy eye
brows, heavy sandy mussache cut short,
dimple in chin. notch between upper

condition is understood to be the

case. President Roosevelt Is very well
known here. especially In university
circles. He got some OF the material
for his books on western history at
the historical library.
The politicians are keen as to how
the shift In the presidency affects Wis

Foreign Born as Criminals.
Our American stock is being builr
up OF peoples of foreign birth and
along with the good we get a gooI

that, taking the state prison at Wan

Milwaukee, there are Last inmates in
these three institutions. and OF this
total 52S are foreign born, while OF
the latter 164 are aliens. Even of the
girls industrial school at milwaukee,,
fifty of the 22S are foreign born.
