COMES TO ASSEMBLY FROM
GAME COMMITTEE.
PROHIBITS ALL TRAFFIC
Allows Spring Shooting and Gives
Farmers the Privilege of Hunting
on Their own Property-Most I'M
portant Game Measure of a Decade
Makes Favorable Impression.


Madison, May z.
If a bill which was introduced in
the assembly last evening by the COM
mittee on fish and game becomes a
law there will be no more game sold
in Wisconsin, under any conditions or
at any time of the year.
The measure was drawn by the
committee as a substitute for various
bills covering the same points, and is
one of the most important game bills
presented to a Wisconsin legislature
in 10 years. The impression prevails
that the bill will pass both houses.
The measure also allows farmers to
hunt on their own farms.
Another section of the same bill
provides for spring shooting from
April 15 to May 1. Another bill COW
ering various other features proposed
in a score or more of bills presented
during the session will be reported
within a few days. 1t is still in the
hands of the committee but it is I'M
derstood that il will be ready for pre-
sentation to the assembly before the
end of this week.

Woman Causes Diplomatic Row.

Washington, May Count Cas-
sino, the Russian ambassador, yestef-
day authorized an emphatic denial OF
the report circulated throughout Ger
many to the effect that he was in
censed with the action of the German
ambassador in placing the name of a
sister of an ambassador in the diplo-
matte list as a member of the German
embassy. The placing of Miss Lang
hams name on the list was regarded
as entirely proper. Secretary Hays
rule has always been to leave such
matters TO the dean of the diplomatic
corps for decision. Casino is the
dean sanctioned ranking Miss Lan=
ham with the diplomatic corps.

majority in the senate. The stalwarts.
they say, have refused every reason
able prefer of compromise. To prove
this they point TO the record of the
primary election bill in the conference
committee, when seven various propO-
sitions for compromise were placed
before the stalwarts by the admins
rratiOn members, each of the seven
was refused and no proposition what
ever was submitted by the representa-
tives of the stalwarts. In relation to
the ad valOrem bill the administration
men say the platform demanded equal
iZation of the taxation of railroads,
but made no demand for the exemp-
ton of credits from taxation, much
less the exemption of railroad bonds
from taxation, and that therefore the
stalwarts can find no justification in
the platform for killing the advalorem
bill because of their desire to pass the
same principle TO the taxation of rai'
credit exemption bill and to apply the
road corporations. The stalwaSs ap-
pear TO be complacent. Some of their
members have said they believed the
people have already tired of the quar-
rel over primary elections and the po-
litical pendulum is now swinging away
from the administration faction.
They also say that their position re-
garding the exemption of credits is
sustained by the state tax commission,
as shown by the report of Commits
.sioners ellison and Curtis. The re
cent report that the stalwarts were de-
termined TO split the republican party
in Wisconsin so far as to hand the
state over TO the democrats is not
thought by any considerable number
as being at all reliable, in view of
the fact that the election a year from
next november will be a national cleo
ton. that TO deliver the state TO the
democrats would place Wisconsin in
the democratic column for the eleC
tion of president and would mean the
election of several democratic mem
bers Of congress and perhaps the cleo
ton of a democratic United States
senator. II is not believed that Sena-
tors Spooner and Quarles and the re-
publican congressman, who are the
soul of the stalwart faction, would al
low any program that would enian.
ger the Offices of any of them or would
bring the state to assist in the election
of a democratic president.

Looking for Trouble.
Jackson, KY, May People not in

peace to Brethitt county. 1t is said
the contingent with which Marcum
was allied, which includes the infiuen-

port.
Families May Flee.
Lexington, KY, May IA newspa-
per man who arrived from Jackson
last night says the situation there can
"only be compared to a man sitting
on a barrel of powder in a shower of
sparks. When the explosion will
come no one knows, but believe it is
inevitable. At least three men know
who assassinated James Marcum and
though they are silent it is believed
their doom is sealed. Such knowledge
in Brethitt county means death or ex-
lie. There are also others left who
know who assassinated Jim Cockrell;
they will not be overlooked. If these
people remain, or there is a possibility
of rigid investigation by the law be-
lieve they will be put out of the way
at an early day. Several families are
preparing to follow the example of
people who during the past six months
have fed the country. The male
members will leave Immediately and
when they have found a home, the
women and children will follow.
Murder Was Planned.
Lexington, May IA messenger
who left the interior of Brethitt coun-
ty at dawn Monday to bear warning to
Attorney Marcum that a plot to kill
him had been formed the night before,

Marcum's death. Sunday night Ed
ward Strong, a friend of Marcum, was
informed that a conspiracy had been
entered into at a meeting of several
desperate men at a blind tiger three
miles from Jackson to assassinate
Marcum Monday. At daylight he sent
a messenger to warn Marcum.
