GOV. LA TOILETTE VETOES DE
TECTIVE BILL.
DESIGNED FOR MILWAUKEE
Sees in it Danger to Good Municipal
Governm Neutrality-suspicious. of Off.
GERS Conduct Almost Impossible
Under Provisions of Measure
Text in Full.
Madison. Nav :


Gov. La Toilette yesterday morning
sent veto to the legislature of the
bill licensing private detectives. He
withholds his approval on the ground
that the measure tends to encourage
collision and conspiracy among that
class of officers. The governor says
THE proposed law prohibits any
person, co-partnership or corporation
from engaging in the business of de-
tective for hire or reward in this
state; Or to advertise such business,
or that of conducting detective
agency without license from the secre-
tary of state, for which one hundred
dollars must be paid. The license is
to continue for five years unless soon
er revoked for cause. If the applicant
desires to establish an Office in any
city of the state his application must
be approved by the chief of police of
such city. The person licensed NAV
appoint as many agents, representa-
tives, and employees as he may see fit.
all of whom are permitted to execute
the calling without any further au-
thority. No person elsewhere in the
state licensed can act in cities of the
first class without permit or approval
of the chief of police thereof, while
licensed detectives of cities of the
first class may act in all parts of the
state without permit or approval of
any kind.
THE proposed act does not apply to
sheriffs, their deputies, detectives Or
officers belonging to the police force
of the state, of any city, town or vii
lage elected or appointed by law. The
business Of the private detective
should be and always necessarily is
secret. The greater the secrecy. the
more efficient the service. There is
nothing in the detective business that
would seem to require for the good of
the service the extension of the Ii
cense system to it. Indeed, such sys-
tenn might greatly hamper or, in many
instances, wholly destroy its eff
cheney. No reason can be assigned
why citizen should not be permitted

CHANGING WHITE HOUSE.
Absence of the President Gives
Chance for Renovation.

Washington, D. c., May THE
white house, which has been little
off color for the past six months, es-
pecially the portico, is in the hands OF
the house painters. House cleaning
at the executive mansion was begun
almost before the Washington monu-
ment was lost to sight by the presi-
Dental party when it left the capital
en- route to the Pacific coast.
When the president returns about
the middle of June he will find things
at home thoroughly renovated, and
will have escaped all the annoyances
that beset the ordinary man of family
in the spring season. The imposing
portico of the white house has long
needed an overhauling, it's dingy cell
ing having been an eyesore to sight
seers. Workmen's scaffolding now OBJ
structs the entrance to the mansion,
and the long delayed renovation will
be made.

HURLED TO DEATH
TRAINS CRASH TOGETHER IN

sion of Freight and passenger
Trains at OttunWa, icWa-CreW
Saved by Jumping.

Ottumwa, Iowa, May THE Bur
lington passenger train, No. 8, crashed
into the engine of a freight train at
Thayer yesterday. Engineer Brown
of the Burlington was instantly killed
and thirty passengers and trainmen
more or less seriously injured. The
freight train was being switched to
the side track when the collision oc-
cured. A sharp curve prevented the
engineer of the passenger train from
seeing the other engine until within
200 feet of the switch and it was too
late then to prevent the crash. The
accident occurred at the foot of
sharp incline where the train was run
ming at a high rate of speed in order
to reach the top of the hill on the op-
posite side of the ravine and the
crash was terrific. The freight engine
was thrown across the track The
passenger engine hurled down the
twenty-foot enbankment, followed by
the baggage car, express, day coach
and three chair cars. The freight
crew saved themselves by jumping. A
special train carrying surgeons and
nurses from Ottumwa soon arrived

TO HUMILIATE MOROCCO.
France Sends Cruiser for That Pur-

France Sends Cruiser for That Pur-
pose.
Paris, May 7.-France is determined
upon the humiliation of Morocco. The
cruiser D'Assas has been sent to Tan
giers to enforce there by-its presence
the demands for an apology made by
the ambassador of France upon the
sultan on the subject of the letter the
latter wrote to the chiefs of the tribes
in the extreme south of Algeria.
These tribes having addressed de-
mand for protection against France to
the sultan, the latter replied with eX-
IRENE violence and hostility to France,
urgin gthe tribes to oppose the occu-
patton of the oasis region by the
French and saying that his tribes
would make constant attacks on the
French Moroccan frontier to prevent
the French conquering southern AL
geria.
The Importance of the situation can
be realized when it is recalled that
the conquest of Algeria was made by
France upon the simple pretext that
the sultan of Algeria had insulted
France.
