MADISON, Wis, March 16-An ex-
pertinent contemplating the manufacture
of linen products from the flax of Mime
sofa and other Northwestern states is
being conducted with apparent success
by firm of Madison attorneys, Lamb,
Richmond & Jackman, who say they are
backed by a large Eastern capitalistic
syndicate. A factory has been placed in
operation at Albany, Green county, and
samples of yarn, thread and cloths are
already displayed here and being sent
East The first experiments are an
nounced to be so successful as to prove
that an industry of commercial and eco
nomic Importance is opened up for the
utilization Of the flax straw of the
Northwest.
The experiment was induced by the op-
portunity presented by the high process
and limited supply of cotton and the
shortage of the supply of Russian linen
products because of the war in the far
East. A corporation has already been
formed and papers filed here for the Ma
tional Mills, with capital stock of $751;
900. This company will make further
experiments in spinning and weaving. 1t
is contemplated that the Eastern syndi-
cate will take the raw material of the
Northwestern states East and manufac-
ture it there, ultimately establishing
mills in the West. The incorporators of
the initial experimenting company are R..
w. Jackman, Charles F, Lamb and Sid
ney H. Stuart, of Madison.

AGAINST FREE LUNCH
Police Say institution Is Re-

A joint committee of the city council
appointed for the express purpose will
tackle that great American institution,

Several members of the committee are

The police declare that the ability of
criminals to sustain life by means of the
free lunch is responsible for half the va

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 16.-
After eliminating all but three sections

the senate committee on foreign relations
has authorized Senator Foraker to make
a favorable report on the measure. The
bill as originally introduced was practi-
cally the same as had been presented in

bylof group of seal islands, except $500
