who recently filed an application for adj
mission into the sacred circles of the Co

cation into the lineage of her family, which

wore still another. So, it's a little puzzling

LA TOILETTE cHEcKMArED.
Acceptance Of Senatorship Marked
Turn in Political Power.

Special Dispatch to The Star
MADISON, Wis, December 9.-When
Gov. La Toilette was forced to declare his
intention to accept the senatorship and was

formed and sought to force upon his sup

time in his domination of the legislature, as
well as in his absolute control Of his politi-

His acceptance of the sena torship, forced
and demanded by men who would no longer
blindly take his dictation, came as an unus-
ual experience to the man whose word for
years has been the law of the political
camp. Many of these men refused to hunt
longer under his leadership of absolutism,
and there is almost a pathetic side to what
now Is known to be uprising wide in ex-
tent against the man whose every wish has
been SO subsequently obeyed during all the
last years of his control
There were stirring times In the admin
istration camp and freedom of express
sion and action which in the old days
would have constituted high treason. The
situation eliminated in a declaration of In
dependence subscribed to and adopted by
many men who have heretofore been count
ed as the strongest La Toilette men in Wis

BLOW AT WIENERWURsTs
Startling Revelations as to Their Man
ufacture at Berlin.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
BERLIN, December 9.-As a result Of a
trial of number of provision merchants
of this city on charges of aduheration. an
almost incredible state OF affairs has been
revealed A leading member of this fra
ternity of adulterating provision merchants
named Perschk devoted his energies to SAT-
sage making, and his codefendants aided
and abetted him in their manufacture and
sale. After revelat lions of the trial Ber-
lin sausage is no longer mystery. Wit
nesses formerly in Perschk's employ state
that fat of all sorts, in advanced state
OF decomposition, scraps OF refuse of all
kinds Of flesh, rancid butter, oleomargarine
and various other obnoxious ingredients
were promiscuously cast into the seething
cauIurons for manufacture OF finest Ber-
jim sausages.' When cauldrons were emp
tied, It was testified that six inches of sedI-
ment remained, mostly sand and filth.
Perschk is alleged to have used chemI-
Gals extensively to arrest putrifaction after
II had set In, and when customers returned
tainted sausages. chemical treatment soon
made them all right
Large quantities of adulterated sausages
We're exported to the United States and
other countries. The offenders were SEN
fenced to terms of Imprisonment and

DASH FOR POLE IN MOTOR CAR
Novel Scheme of M. Henryck Arctow'
ski, Antartic Explorer.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
BRUSSELS. December On. Henryck
Arctowski, the Antarctic explorer, gives
some further details of his daring plan to
reach the mysterious regions of the south
pole. He proposes to do it by motor car.
From the natural landing places of the
southern seas there exists a vast field of
smooth ice, which is supposed to cover the
polar region without breakages or crevaces,
a fiat field of ice as smooth as a frozen
pond. Other explorers have been on that
field, but they could not go fast enough to
complete their exploration. Capt Scott
Travelled over the ice for five months, but
his dogs could make only ten miles per
day and in the end he was driven back by
fear of starvation.
Mr.. Arctowskfs solution Of the difficulty
is simple. Travel ten times as fast and
the pole will be reached long before there is
any danger of the food giving out. He
proposes to do this by using motor cars,
and the idea is approved as possible both
by Capt. Scott and Mr.. Shackelton, who
accompanied him on his long journey over
the ice field
The motor car designed for polar explora-
tlon Will, OF course, be a very different af-
fair from that used in towns. The wheels
for instance, are to be foot In width tired
with leather and studded with long pro-
tfuding nails to give them a hold In the
frozen snow. Under the car will run a
blade like the runner of a Canadian sledge
ana the weight Of the car will rest on that
blade and not on the wheels.

installment was due he became suspicious
and made inquiries as to the regularity of
the bond.
Mr.. Vinton. he SAID came to see him and
misrepresented the facts concerning the
bond. He asserted that Mr. Vinton told
him the bond was one of an old issue on
which $50, 600, 600 in interest mad been paid
Mr.. Stevens said he learned, on the con-
trary, that the bond issue was of recent
date and he testified further that the COM
pany defaulted In dts payment OF interest.
His information regarding the bond, how
ever, was secured after he had paid the
second installment of $1,000, which pay
ment he declared, was made upon the mis-
representations of Vice President Vinton.

a series of interviews with leading states
men who favor the principle OF a closer
union between the two countries. That the
present campaign has greatly stimulated
Germany's desire for commercial union
with Holland is shown by the fact that the
negotiations about to be concluded have re-
duced the postal tariff both for letters and
parcels between these countries. In the
interviews published by the Petit Bleu this
step Is advocated by the leading authorities
as the best means of paving the way for a
