Attorney General Sturdevant to Clear Up
Doubts of Capitol Commission
Judges Resign.

: MADISON, Wis, Nov. 20--[Spe-
tcial. Attorney General Sturdevant
this afternoon gave his opinion before
the capitol building commission on sew
eral sections of the law creating the
commission and it's powers.
. He holds that the terraces must be
included in the limit of area fixed for
the foundation; that a supervising archi-
itect can be employed only for the con,
istruction of the wing for which money
had been appropriated, and that the
commission may borrow from trust funds
as we'll as from the general fund.
Justices J. B. Winslow and r. d.
Marshall of the supreme court have re-
isigned from the commission. They took
this action because of the possibility of
suits growing out of the construction of
the building which might come before
the supreme court for final adjudication,

NO GRAND JURY IN
NOTED WALSH CASE.
Assistant Attorney General Titus Believes
It Impossible to Shed Further
Light ON Death.

MADISON, Wis, Nov. 49, Special.
1t is deemed more than probable that
the Walsh case at Crandon is closed, as
far as the courts are concerned. The
following recommendation has been made
to Judge Goodland of Appleton by AS
sistant Attorney General Titus:
Il consider that [ am fully informed
in regard to all evidence brought out in
the autopsy on Mrs. Walsh. I believe
from this evidence that nothing can be
produced to satisfy jury beyond rea-
sonable doubt that Mrs. Walsh's death
resulted from the act of another person
| recommend to you that no investiga-
ton be made by grand jury in Forest
county as to how the death of Mrs.
Walsh was caused, and recommend to
you that the order summoning the grand
jury be revoked
Judge Goodland confirmed the report
today that the grand jury order had been
revoked

NEGRO BLEACHED IN JAIL.
Many Plead Guilty to Crap Shooting Be-
fore Being Questioned

A new horror has developed from the
distressing conditions in the Macon, Mo,
Jail known as, 1.-THE Ruins" 1t beaches

this, Sheriff Graves smiled at it, but he
doesn't see the joke now. He has got a
full house of Senegambians, ostensibly
held for crap-shooting but in reality
taking trea tment for their complexion.
In a moment OF carefessness the sheriff
stated that when he took Frog Eye
Davis down for a couple Of years So
jOurn at the pen, the warden had asked
him whether the prisoner was ''colored
or plain
The Macon officer looked closer at the
man with whom he was parting, and for
the first time observed the mulatto's
complexion had lightened SO as to make
his race in doubt. Tie SLOUGH hat hid
the kinky locks, which had been unaf-
fected by 1.-The Ruins
On arriving home the sheriff noticed
Lacy Williams, a one-year man, and
George Poe, a chicken expert, had
turned distinctly pale under no more eX
citing cause than the darkness. When
the news got down to the Alabama coal
camp the southland negroes began plead
ing guilty to crap-shooting, even before
they were questioned about it. The
sheriff let fifteen come in and then
closed up shop.

Asleep in Death.

On Monday morning last when the
children OF Mrs. Anna Mccarthy, 647
Jefferson street northeast, went to
their mothers room to call her, they
were overwhelmed with grief upon
finding her lifeless body, the good
woman having passed into that sleep
which knows no waking in this world,
during the night. Though she had not
been enjoying the best of health for
the past few months, she appeared to
be quite we'll upon retiring last Sun
day evening and no one in the house
hold had any warning OF her dissolu-
ton. Death was caused by disease of
the heart. The deceased was the
widow OF Daniel Mccarthy who died
about IS years ago, and both we're
early residents of the east side and
greatly respected by all. She was s.
years OF age. Four children are left
to mourn, as follows: William, Frank,
Joseph and Katie, the latter being the
wife of James E. Sandefur of this
city.
The funeral. was held Wednesday
morning from St. Anthony OF Padua
church. High requiem mass was Of
iered up for her soul and beautiful
discourse was delivered by Father Lee
in the presence of many friends and
relatives. Mrs. Mccarthy was one OF
the best of mothers whose solicitude
for the welfare of her children was
always manifest. She was kind hearted
and generous and the community in
which she lived will sadly miss her.
The remains were laid to rest in ST.
Anthony cemetery beside the body OF
| her late husband.
