WILL CO TO SENATE.
Gov. La Toilette Announces Decision
as to His Future-Wfll Delay
Taking His Seat.

Madison, Wis, Dec. 6.-After reading
his message to the legislature, Gov.
La Toilette made q statement that he
would accept the United States sena-
torship, to which he was elected by
the legislature at the last session. He
stated that during this special session
or at least at its close he would resign
as governor and accept the commits
sion as United States senator.
He then made short statement de-
claring that certain fixed obligations
bound him to continue as governor, a.
laws involving millions of dollars were
being challenged in the courts, and
legislation vital to the state was pend
ing. He could not offer more than a
qualified acceptance. The close of the
session found the litigation undecided,
he said, and the new laws untried.
Adverse decisions in the circuit court
might call promptly for curative legis-
lation, and the administration of new
laws might disclose defects requiring
immediate remedies. Every reason
made it his plain duty to await the
circuit court decision and the contest
over the new laws. Time entirely JUS
titled this course, he said. The atti-
tude of the railroads in the contesting
of every assessment of taxes as soon
as made, the constructions which, modi-
fications of this law seem to demand,
the amendment needed for the better
administration Of the railway rate
law, the amendments of the primary
election law. and the other important
matters for the consideration of the
legislature were all required to round
the work OF the last and preceding ses-
| sions of the legislature. f

To Make Currency Elastic.
"The necessity for an elastic cur
yency," continues Mr.. Shaw, tshas re-
seived fresh emphasis in the financial
conditions of the last few months
Ni]lions were loaned, approximately
ct one per cent. in midsummer, and
rail- money reached 25 per cent. in No
yember. The exceedingingly low rate
vas about as dangerous as the high
rate. for the latter was the logical
result of the former. Such extremes
tan and should be rendered impossi-
ble AS a means to this end, sug
rest the advisability of permitting ma
tional banks to issue volume of ad-
1itional government guaranteed cur
:ency, equal in amount to SO per cent.
rf the bond-secured currency main
iained by them, but subject to tax
of five or six per cent. until re-
deemed by the deposit of a like
amount in the treasury"

HER TRUNKS OPENED,
omciaIs Clash over Mrs. Chadwick n
Cleveland Jail,

CLEVELAND, o., Jan Gas the re
suit of a clash between the federal anO
county authorities that has been or
since Mrs. Cassie l.. Chadwick arrived
in this city from New York as to who
had jurisdiction over the prisoner
care while she IL in the county jail the
federal authorities last night definitely
stated that they would assume such
control under authority vested in them
by a decision of the supreme court OF
the United States in similar case in
another state and which, they think
can be applied in this instance.
]. p. Dawley, her counsel who is a
very prominent lawyer, asserted the
prerogative of his calling to see his eli
ent, but the powerful deputy marshal
refused him entrance TO the womans
corridor Of the jail. Dawley was furi-
Gus and said TO the marshal that If he
had half as much physical strength as
he had determination he would throw
the marshal out OF the window.
The trunk belonging to Mrs. Chad
wick was opened by Attorney Louis
Grossman The trunk contained only
wearing apparel for Mrs. Chadwick
consisting of four dresses and an entire
suit Of moleskin, the whole being
worth, Mr.. Grossman thought perhaps
four or five thousand dollars.
Both a trunk and satchel which were
carefully guarded while Mrs. Chad
wick was in New York city have been
opened ana their contents examined by
Mr.. Grossman. The result shows moth
ing that will add materially TO Mrs
Chadwicks assets.
