JUDGE E. NJ. WEBB AND
CHAIRMAN W. D. C0NNOR

Gil E. NandercOOk. special cores
pondent of the Milwaukee Sentinel at
Madison has the following to say
about Judge Chas NJ. Webb Of Grand
Rapids and chairman w. D. Connor,
of Marshfield,
Although the result of the senatorial
fight no doubt could have been more
pleasing to Judge Charles NJ. Webb
of Grand Rapids, his visit to Madison
during the contest was most thor
Onghly enjoyed. During recent years
his duties upon the bench have de-
manded nearly all of his time and
attention and the political experience
of the last Two weeks is in the nature
|cf we'll earned respite. 1t is bark
ing back for IL considerable time to
recall Legislative days in the early sos,
but at that time Judge Webb was
one of the strong political leaders of
the state, backed by practically the
unanimous support of district cover
ing the full northern part of WiscOn-
sin. 1t was the days of big men in
Wisconsin politics. when the giving
of pledge meant something, and
sacrifices were made.
After his retirement from the
senate. Judge Webb went upon the
Circuit court bench and has served
continuously ever since. and will con.
tinue to serve until he sees fit to
retire. Counties have been cut from
his original circuit until now only
Wood, Portage, Waupaca and Wau-
shara remain, but the sincere friend
ship gained throughout the entire
northern BART of the state Still con-
tinue. Judge Webb has the respect,
esteem, and support of every member
of the bar, not only in his own Cir
cult, but in neighboring circuits as
we'll, and bears close relationship in
sympathy TO the people generally.
Chairman COnnOr has been in the
city the greater part of the week, but
this time politics has been the in
cident and legal business the real
purpose of his Madison sojourn. Con-
nor has brought suit to set aside the
sale OF the MarShtield water plant by
Gov. Upham TO the city and the case
is being tried before Judge Stevens.
COnnOr's activity manifested during
the week Of the organizations of the
legislature is entirely lacking. He
has occasionally appeared in the
capitol. but the customary continuous
performance, with conferences and
interviews, has given way to calm
and regnant uncOncern. indicating, it
is claimed by some, dissatisfaction
with the result.
What part Connor played in the
senatorial election must remain an
written history until some one other
than the chairman makes the dis
closures. That he knew what was
going on in all the camps must be
conceded, but whether or not the
result is just what he wanted is
doubted. Cannon controlled mum.
her Of votes that would have come to
him in an emergency. making his
election possible. The fact that
some of these votes did not GO to the
adminiStrat tiOn caucus indicates that
he did not approve of the plan to
make La Toilette senator. Why these
votes were not given to Webb is
another enigma.

WOMEN DRIVEN
TO MYSTERIES

The case for the prosecution In the
trial of Michael ]. Mccarthy, charged
with the murder of his wife, Octavia,
before a jury in Judge Cooks court,
was closed yesterday morning before
the noon adjournment, but several wit
nesses may be called in rebuttal An
effort was made to shut out the dying
statement made by the woman but it
was not successful
While Attorney Reese Clark was
making his opening statement for the
defense and referring in strong and
unfiatterinS terms to the character OF
the dead woman,> there occurred an ex-
citing scene Miss Maggie Mccarthy
and Mrs W. King. sisters of the defend
ant had to be led from the court as
they were in a hysterical condition
and outside the courtroom Miss Nc
Carthy tainted. Then Mrs. Elizabeth
Sloat mother, and Mrs. Ovita Hawes,
sister Of the murdered woman, became
hysterical and they also had to be led
out.
The defense. will depend upon the
previous character of Mrs Mccarthy.
the assertion that the shooting was
accidental and that death was due
chiefly to malpractice while Mrs. Nc
Carthy was q patient at the Central
Emergency Hospital. Clark was
checked by Assistant District Attorney
Ashe for referring to Mrs. Ovita
Hawes as that
DR.. J. NJ. Toner was the first witness
examined for the defense. Hypotheti-
cal questions were put to him and he
answered generally that if a wound
is not properly drained poison would
set in and spread through the system,
leading to death. He thought that a
gunshot wound such as Mrs. Mccarthy
received might cause death.

PAYING FIRST
VISIT TO CITY

Baron Alphonso Rothschild, heir
apparent to the millions of the Aus
trian branch of the Rothschild fam
lily, arrived here yesterday from the
south and is registered at the Palace
Hotel. The young nobleman said yes
terday that his visit to California is
with the hope that the Western cli-
mate will improve his eyes, which are
weak from overwork, the result or
rigorous courses of instruction TO
which he and his younger brother,
Baron Louis Rothschild. were subject
ed preparatory to entering upon
commercial life.
There is absolutely nothing signif
icant in my presence in San Francis
co." remarked the Baron yesterday,
shortly after his arrival. Il have Just
come from Mexico, where my brother
and / spent a month in recreation
How long l shall remain here is
matter 1 have not yet decided. It IS
my intention to go direct TO New YORK
from San Francisco.
The arrival Yesterday of the Baron
gave rise to a report that he was here
in the interest of his banking firm In
Vienna, which, ii was supposed. was
behind the recent deal in the United
Railroads. but this he emphatically
denied, adding that his firm was not In
stock. He, however, declined TO dis
cuss the affairs of his firm. The
Rothschild family of Vienna Is inter-
ested in copper properties in Shasta
County and is also reported to have
been the firm that agreed to take over
5000 shares of the stock of the Bank
of California, but of these matters the
Baron refused TO talk.
Barons Alphonso and Louis Roth
schild arrived in this country last NO
vember under arrangement between
their family and j. Pierpont Morgan
to enter the banking offices Of the lat
ter. Owing to the ill health OF Al
phonso the two young noblemen, act
ing on the advice of their physician,
later poceeded on a trip TO Mexico to
enjoy what Baron Alphonso was yes
terday pleased to term the first long
vacation in their rather strenuous
lives. Apparently the brothers have
not taken kindly to the proposed ap-
premiership under J. Pierpont Nor
gan. for Baron Alphonso said yester-
day that he and his brother had sep
arated in Mexico, the latter returning
to New York, where they have agreed
to meet in May and leave for Europe
in June.
