assembling OF the state legislature to-
day the contest for United States SEN
ator to succeed Senator Vest Is on in
fun force. The political lieutenants
of William j. Stone declare they have
enough votes pledged to nominate the
ex-governor on the first ballot. but the
opposing faction asserts with equal
yiror that the Stonites have made a
serious error in thDir counting OF
noses and that when the balloting Is
begun it will be found that there are
other entries and strong ones too IN
the race for the toga. With several
congressman and others of more or
less strength and popularity in the
Democratic ranks known to be recep-
tive If not active candidates 1t is be-
lieved that Stone must win quickly II
he is to win at all. for his position is
not one of such strength as to stahd
a long siege.

OPPOSES INDIANS
DOING DITCH WORK
California Redskins Say All of Them
Will Work or None.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept ia
strike of the Warmers Ranch Indians
in California for the employment of
their tribe as a unit on irrigation work
ordered by the government for their
sole benefit has been reported to the
interior department by George Butler,
irrigation superintendent. Mr.. Butler
was ordered to the Pala ranch, whence
the Warmers ranch Indians recently
were transferred after years of trouble,
to develop water supply and dig irri-
cation bitches for the benefit of the
Indians. He employed eight of them at
$1.21 a day on Aug. 81, promising to
employ all whenever extension of the
work warranted it, but the Indians re-
fused to go to work, deciding at a
council meeting that all or none Of their
number should be employed.
Mr.. Buffers report arraigns the tribe
as dissatisfied, unruly and unsettled"
says they attempt to dictate the policy
of the reservation and terms of labor
and refuse to affiliate with the other
Indians except at fiestas. AT a recent
fiesta, he says, forty places where
drinks were sold We're counted, and the
report adds, ut is said a deputy mar
shall was running a game wide open"
The report questions the advisability
of employing the Indians on the irriga-
ton work under the circumstances.

FOOTBALL TEAMS PLAY
IN SPITE OF WEATHER
Cane Rush Is Postponed to a More Au-
spicious Occasion.

The damp weather has at last reduced
somewhat the football squad, but still
there were three teams out, in spite of
the fact that several of the veterans were
not in the game. In addition to the usual
work the men were given a little practice
falling on the ball and tackling. There is
plenty of room for improvement in both
OF these elementary departments of the
game.
Marshall, Burdick and Houska were CIV
en- the chance to punt in the preliminary
practice. Marshall showed up well and
Burdtck has improved considerably within
the last few days. Houska did nothing
of note. He is an old St Johns college
man who has ust Joined the squad.
In the scrimmage which followed, the
varsity made two touchdowns, for which
Davies was largely responsible. He made
several big gains and would keep on go
ing with several men hanging on to him.
Neussle, the old Beloit player, and Luce
also made good gains, and O'Brien did
fine work on interference. There was lit
tie opportunity to exhibit defensive work
but what there was was fair. The second
team made one long gain around left end,
but other gains were short.
The line-up of the varsity was: Ber-
gen and Marshall, ends; Warren and Luce,
tackles; Benson and Pattee, guards;
Smith. center; OBrien, quarter; Davies
and Neussle, halves; Thorp, full back.
The athletic management is getting out
dedication exercises of Northrop field. The
book will include pictures Of President
Northrop, the football squad the Mime
Wisconsin game last fall and a
synopsis of the changed rules. H. S.
Mitchell, '05. has charge of the publlca-
ton. 1t will be on sale at the game Sat
urday.
The athletic board of control has given
the manager the power to arrange that
the Wisconsin game be played at Milwau-
kee instead of Madison, if this plan is
desired by the Badger authorities.
Another attempt was made to work up
enthusiasm for a cane rush, but the
classmen. A few engineers of the upper
classes appeared with cane of formid-
able dimensions and issued call for the
freshmen, but none came and the project
was abandoned for pleasanter occasion.

CON"
Alderman Takes Action for One
Mans Benefit.

In order to save railroad conductor
from losing his job the board Of alder
men last night passed a resolution al
lowing the Northwestern Telephone
company to erect poles on one of the
streets in the Tenth ward.
This act of philanthropy seemed so
easy that Aid. Bantz secured the recall
from the committee on streets of
resolution granting the Twin City Tel
ephone company the right to erect
poles on Como and Phalen avenues.
In this particular instances the COM
pany first erected the poles and then
asked for permit, and as rebuke
Aid. Hinkens had the request sent to
the committee on streets.
He protested last night against the
recall until an investigation was made,
but none of the other members would
stand by him. In the case of the rail-
road conductor, Aid. Dobner said that
the conductor lived quite a distance
from the railroad office, and he was
beyond the jurisdiction Of the callboy
he would lose his job unless some way
of reaching him was supplied. The as
sembly has been holding up North
western permits until the company
showed an inclination to pay the city
a trif1e for the use of the streets.

gregating $4,000
