Madison, March 10.

manson, March ~.
II. A. Huber of Stoughton was yes
terday appointed by Governor La Fol
lette to be executive clerk in the exec
utive Office, in place of A. T. Rogers,
who resigned at the beginning of the
year to engage in The practice of law
with Rufus b. Smith.
Mr.. Huber has been a staunch ad-
mirer of the governor and is politically
in favor of the measures for which the
governor stands. having taken an act
i've part i'm the fractional campaign last
summer, working on the side which
controlled the state convention. Mr..
Huber is not ordinarily known as a
politician, being kept busy with a
large law practice, particularly with
probate matters in the county court.
He was graduated from the, university
law school, law department, with the
class of 1896 and has since practiced
his profession in the city of Stoughton.
He is a member of the county board
of supervisors.
In personal appearance Mr.. Huber
resembles somewhat the governor. He
wears the pOmpadour that distinguish
es the executive and is not much
heavier nor taller. To one who is not
closely familiar with the two men they
may easily be taken one for the other,
as will probably be the case with
strangers visiting the executive office.

Helping the Crops.

, GAINESVILLE and the Wisconsin Manufac-
lturers' association. A search of the
records in the secretary of states
office failed To reveal any registration
on the part OF Mr.. Kearney as legis-
lative agent or legislative lobbyist, al
though he was evidently acting in both
capacities. other representatives OF
railroad had complied with the law.
Mr.. Kearney said the manufacturers
he represented were not before the
committee at the beck or call of any
railroad but were there protesting
against the passage of the bill because
they believed its enactment would be
detrimental To their interests. Hesaid
there was no demand from anyone for
the bill. He referred deprecatingly TO
the advocacy of the measure by Mr..
Johnson of Il. Il. Bacon a. Co.
Mr.. Kearney referred TO the group
rates which certain portions of the
state enjoyed and which he said were
responsible for the building upof those
sections and said that under the opera
ton of the bill should it become a
law il would be impossible TO preserve
these rates or the so-called commodity
rates.
Ii was true, he said, that a COM
modify rate gave shippers a certain
rate under certain conditions and gave
to other shippers under different condi-
tions o different rate. He had heard
talk about railroad earnings being
made the basis OF railroad rates. This
would be impossible because you
might have two roads, one a good pay
ing road and the other hardly able to
make its operating and other expenses,
running parallel. What would be
good rate for one would not be fair
rate for the other. This matter of fix
ing rates has been reduced to ascience
and men are paid large salaries for it.
Three men cannot be found in Wis
consin competent TO adjust the rail-
road rates of this state who will work
for $4,000 a year because if there are
three such men they can get more
money from the railroads. The traffic
managers are paid enormous salaries
because of the value they are TO the
railroads. He said the bill should not
be passed because IL would be impos-
Isible to get a competent commission
and because il would be impossible TO
preserve the group and commodity
rates under any law.

TRAINS IN DANGER
Two of Them are Completely Surrounded
by Angry Waters
Many Passengers on Board but They are
Believed Safe
The Situation in the Flood District Grows
More Menacing

Memphis, March 19.-The flood sit
uation shows a number OF new and
serious developments, and there is
scarcely a ray OF hope for improved
conditions yet except the fact that the
tributaries OF the Mississippi north Of
Memphis are reported falling. one of
tAs most serious developments is the
washing out OF all lines OF railroad
entering the city from the west and
The complete tieing up OF traffic
through the Memphis gateway to that
section. The indications are that traf-
&C cannot be resumed until the flood
subsidies. So suddenly did the rise
come in the section OF Arkansas
across the river from Memphis after
the st. Francis leyee broke at Tricss
Landing that two passenger trains
were caught between the washed out
points and are now surrounded by
water on blind tracks in the overflow
territory, with no particle OF land in
sight within a mile OF their position.
Aboard these trains were about 50
passengers and crews each, and over
100 OF these remain on the trains with
no prospect OF being taken of until
today or later. However, they are not
considered in danger. Trains are on
the track OF the Iron Mountain near
New Altman, Ark. Before them are
washed out tracks and on this side the
foundation has been carried away un-
III the passage is extremely unsafe.
By taking risks several handcars sue
cseded in reaching the waterbound
trains yesterday and about fifty pas
Eengers were brought to this city over
the submerged and shal1y tracks. The
remainder refused to attempt TO re-
turn and are housed in the coaches,
being fed BY the railroad companies.
some persons were rescued from Mar
ION, Ark, BY means OF skffs and the
situation there is somewhat relieved.
Eight white families and fully 200 ne
groes remain there in the second stO-
rles OF buildings. over one thousand
head OF livestock has been gathered at
the village.
The city all day has been filed with

Forest Commissioner Ring was in
his office. yesterday. having returned
from trip to ArooStook county. where
he has been to Investigate the condition
of the public lands of GlenWood and
Reed plantations. and also to ascertain
III" cause of Il forest fire which Oc-
CURED. during the recent dry weather,
on Reed plantation. This fire it has
been discovered, WAS set by one Paul
Niolette while he was clearing his land.
Action will be begun against him, at
once. lie will be prosecuted under sec
ton 10. chapter 26 of the Forest Laws
of Maine. 1t is the intention of the de-
partment to give Niolette all the law
allows, as Il person who does not know
any better than to set Il fire where there
is any possibility Of its catching in
timber ought to be protected against
himself, and the public ought to be
protected against Il person who sets
such fires. Mr.. Ring also stated that
the rain of yesterday had practically
insured the Maine forests against fires,
for the remainder of this year. as it
would take several weeks Of very dry
weather to put them again in condition
to burn readily.
