NOW IN NEW HANDS
Transfer Made in the Independ-
ent Telephone Company's Wis
cOnsin Property.
WILL UNITE ALL COMPANIES

The Badger State Long Distance
Telephone company filed bill of
sale Thursday with the city clerk of
Milwaukee transferring all of it's
property to John X. Fish and wife of
that city for a consideration of So, 700.
Immediately after the filing of the
bill of sale another bill was filed by
Mr.. Fish and wife transferring the
property to the Badger Telephone and
Telegraph company. The latter COM
pany executed mortgage last week
to secure bonds to the amount of
$500 600 with which to make improve
ments on the property.
John *. Fish, who transferred the
property, is a son of the late John L.
Fish, who for many years was en-
gagged in the law business in Racine.
Frank Nj. Fish. who served as Circuit
court judge for several years, is a
brother of John Il. Fish, and is presi-
dent Of the Badger Telephone and
Telegraph company and, in fact, is
the promoter of the independent com
pany which will wage war against the
Wisconsin Telephone company.
The organizing of independent te1e-
phone companies in nearly every city
in the state and throughout the coun-
try districts caused the formation of
an independent long distance te1e-
phone company. Without long dis
lance line to connect all gcities and
villages, the independent companies
would be handicapped. The indie
pendent lines in some cities are con-
nected, especially in the southeastern
district Of the state, but the indie
pendent lines have not been able to
get into Milwaukee, and the Badger
company will build telephone lines
there and leading to and connecting
with other independent lines in order
to wage war against the Wisconsin OF
Bell company.

he worked there for the better part Of
half century.
The deceased had been a soldier in

stories Of the treatment accorded the
prisoners at Libby prison have often
been told and he was one of the best
lof the story tellefs among the mem

SEVEN EXPELLED FROM ZION
Dowie's Leaders Believe in Wedding
Out the Many Leave

At the meeting in Zion on Wednes-
day night, acting on the advice of
the First Apostle to get rid of all un-
ru1y members, some seven persons
were expelled and the faithful warned
not to have anything to do with them.
The names of those expelled were
Vim. Garner, H. G. Payne, VIM
George, George Williams, George
Eels and a person known by the name
of ''The Self Style Prophet of Section
H." In addition to these Deacon and
Deaconess Partridge, of Australia,
were put under the ban and deprived
of their official vestments.
Most of those who were expelled
were cranks of the first order. VIM.
Garner had become possessed with
the idea that all the faithful would be
translated like Elijah, and wanted
Dowie to preach it.
George Williams had made his
home the meeting place for the dis
.contented. George Ee1s wouldn't pay
tithes. But perhaps the most curious

known as "The Self Style Prophet of
Sec. H." This mau has been maxi
ing trouble for year. He makes no
bones Of calling the First Apostle a
liar and imposter, and says that he
himself is the prophet. But he lives
up to the moral laws Of Zion, and it is
impossible to get legal hold on him
to make him leave the place.

tiaries to settle will be the surrender

inclined to believe that this demand
will form one of the essentials y
while others claim ground for believ-
ing that Russia may induce Japan to
take these in part payment of the in
demnity.
Little progress has been made In
the direction Of an armstice. London
has not seen its way clear to aid the
president in his efforts to this end and
Japan has, in the most determined
manner indicated it's unwillingness to
consent to an armistice until her plen-
ipotentiaries have met the Russians in
the conference.
The object of this, it is explained in
an authoritative quarter, is because
Japan wishes to be assured that Russia
is prepared to negotiate in seriousness
for peace before the Japanese COM
manders yield any of their ground in
the field or give the Russians time to
increase their forces at the front.

Troops Landed at Dekastries

BY Associated FreSS.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 27.-Dis-
patches from Manchuria report the
landing of a Japanese battalion and the
capture of a lighthouse on the Siberian
coast near Dekastries, a port formerly
called Alexandrovsk, 700 miles north Of
Vladivostok. after a preliminary she'll
ing by torpedo boat destroyers.
Military officials here attach impor-
tance to the episode only in connection
with the Sakhalin campaign. and say
that as the landing was effected at a
place where the Straits of Tartary. be-
tween Sakhalin and the mainland. are
narrowest. it apparently is part of the
strategy of the Japanese to prevent the
escape of the Russian garrison in SAX
halin across the straits.
They add that the landing is too far
north to have any bearing on the Man
churian campaign or operations
against Vladivostok.
