ROBSON WILL BE RETIRED
PRESIDENT RECOMMENDS THIS
 ACTION TO THE SENATE.
The Eye Trouble With Which He Has Suffered and Ills Sinking of the Merrimac Sufficient Reason -Bill at Once Intr odu ced for His Relief

Washington, Feb 1.-The president sent message to the senate to-day garding the retirement of Naval Con-
 structor Richmond P. Hobson In ac- cordanee with this recommendation
 Senator Gallinger immediately intro
 duced a bill providing for MT. Hobson' s transfer to the retired list.
 In his message the president says
 that his reason is the trouble that MT
 Hobson has had with his eyes since
 June, 1900 and recited the story of that
 trouble It appears that in June, 1900
 he was admitted to the naval hospit al
 at Yokohama, Japan, suffering from
 weakness of the eyes and retinitis, which
 infirmites were contracted while he
 was on duty repairing ships at Hong
 Kong Tn January, 1902. he was exam ined by a retiring board, which decided that his incapacity was not such as to justify retirement.
 The presidents message concludes as follows: Without suggesting that any injustice has been done by this finding and while in effect pronouncing 1t cor rect, MT. Hobson states in a letter ad- dressed to the secretary of the navy February 5, 1902, that the duty required in the construction corps in connection with plans and blue prints, and in con n ricin in the glare of ship yards and navy yards requires just the kind of use of the eyes that is painful and injurious and would tend to thwart their recov- cry; that the condition of his eyes has improved since his return to the United States, while on special duty, not in the usual line of work of the construction corps but that under these favorable conditions the irritation and sensitive ness continue and show tLat he should not undertake work that taxes the eyes in the future' He accordingly asks spe- cial legislation authorizing his retire. ment as for disabilities incurred in the line of duty. This request Is approved by the chief constructor, and by the secretary of the navy
 Tn consideration of the foregoing, but especially of the gallant service by Mr. Hobson in the sinking of the Merrimac in the harbor of San tiago during the recent war with Spain, recommend the enactment of a suita- ble measure for his relief'
 The bill introduced by Senator Gal ! finger authorized the president to trans fer to the retired list as for d sa hi lilies | incurred in the line of duty, Naval Con- structor Richmond P. Hobson, U. s. N, | 1t the rate of pay provided by section | L5SS of the revised statutes in the case >f officers retired on account of inca oacity resulting from long and faithful services.

Brighton Attorney Secures a Peculiar
Decision in the Supreme Court
at Madison Friday.
BARRED AS PLAINTIFF IN COURT.
But He Comes Back Strong and Is Per-
mitted to Appear as an Attorney For q
Client.-Remarkable Judgment.

Henry Wiesmann, who is alleged to
be insane, managed to secure in the
Supreme court at Madison Friday the
most remarkable decision ever handed
down by the Supreme court of this or
any other state. In the decision the
justices of the court barred Mr.. Wies-
mann from appearing in his own be-
half as plaintiff before court of JUS
tice, but allowed him to appear as an at
torney of record to represent client.
The records of all courts have been
searched and it is claimed that this is
the first time that an attorney has ever
been denied.ssthe right to appear for
himself.
Attorney. sWiesmannsshad gone to
Madison to seek to have the Supreme
court reverse the decision of the lower
courts on his motion to have an admin
istrator de bonis non appointed in the
estate of Cornelius McKune, deceased.
When the case was called Mr.. Wies-
mann appeared before the court and
attempted to present his case but At
torney George Kroncke, who repre-
sented the opposition, at once inter
rupted and declared that Mr.. Wiesmann
had been adjudged insane in the
county courts of Kenosha county and
for that reason he could not appear be-
fore the court.
Wiesmann argued the point with the
attorneys but when the order from the
County court was shown the justices
refused to allowed the attorney to pro-
coed further with his argument and a
guardian ad Item was named to repre-
sent him in the litigation. The court
named L. G. Bohmrich and Mr.. Wies-
mann objected to the choice and
nominated Wallace Ingalls, for the po-
sition. Mr.. ingalls, was appointed and
argued the case for Wiesmann.
The case being disposed of the clerk
of the court called the next case and
Mr.. Wiesmann again approached the
court as an attorney. The same ques-
ton Of his sanity was raised by the
opposing attorneys, but Wiesmann
was able to meet all objections. He
showed that he was the attorney of
record in the case'and although the at
torneys made every effort to force the
court to rule Wiesmann out the judges
6na1ly decided that Wiesmann, as the
attorney of record, had right to ap-
pear and he argued the case which was
taken under advisement by the judges.
The decision in the Wiesmann case
overrules the decision of Judge Belden
made few weeks ago when he refused
to allow Wiesmann to appear as an at
torney in the.case on account of the
fact that he had BEEN. declared insane
by the local court.
The decision of thesSupreme court is
attracting great deal of attention
among attorneys in all parts of the
State andsit is probable that the deci-
sion will go down in history as one of
the most remarka Bile gones ever given
by state Supreme court.

Her individuality and her theories are

opposed his TRADE against the copy

warmly attacks both, the result being
a rather heated argument. The count
ess is woman of broad training and
