INSPECT GOPHER VARSITY.

Badger Reformers Will Seek Pointers
on Management.
The legislative committee which has
been Investigating abuses at the Uni
versity for several months past de-
cided to do no further work at the
University of Wisconsin until after
an inspection of the University Of
Minnesota, and perhaps other schools
Of the character of the Wisconsin in-
stitution. By comparison, the commit
tee believes it could find some way to
remedy abuses found here. The great
fault, it is said, seems to be that the
professors, instead of being paid
enough by the state to permit of their
entire time being devoted to Wiscon-
sin, are allowed to fill out their mea-
ger pay by doing outside work.
Senator George Wylie, chairman of
the committee, will inspect the state
colleges of Iowa; Assemblyman Dun
can McGregor, formerly president OF
the Platteville normal school, will go
oAnn Arbor to visit the University
of Michigan; Assemblyman J. S Don
aid will go to the University of Illinois
and Assemblyman Fred Peterson will
inspect the University of Minnesota.
The object is to learn the methods OF
accounting, the manner of appointing
regents or other governing officers OF
the institutions, the powers of the re-
gents to mortgage state property and
to apply state money, and other mat
tiers.
Senator Wylie says the report of the
investigation of the Wisconsin school
will be ready not earlier than Nov. l,
when it is required to be handed to
the governor Expert Daniel, who ex-
amined the university accounts for
the committee, has reported that the
bookkeeping system is complicated
and conglomerated ,and that the sys-
tenn of auditing is costly and unsatls'
factory. The expert says that it costs
the state $1,000 to audit the books for
year, most Of which money is paid
as salaries to school of commerce pro-
fessors; but with a modern and plain
system of accounts the auditing can
be done for $200.-W.

Washington, May IS. - The senate
ment of Senator Bailey's version of
the effort to secure an understanding
between the Democratic senators and
the president on the railroad rate bill.
In presenting 1t he included the mem
orandum of Former Senator Chandler
to the president, on which the charges
of bad faith against Mr.. Bailey have
been predicted The Texas senator
again arraigned his critics in sharp
language.
With the exception Of Mr.. Bailey's
depression the day was devoted to
review of the amendments made in
committee of the whole, and covered
somewhat more than half of the meas
ure.
There was a prospect of concluding
the reading until the section granting
to the interstate commerce commits
sion power to fix rates was reached
and the question of the constitution
atty of that provision was raised.
The attack was made on the clause
giving to the commission discretion in
prescribing rates. The question was
still under discussion when the senate
adjourned.
There was again considerable de-
bate over the pipe line, rebate and
anti-pass amendments and also of the
amendments prohibiting common car
riers from transporting articles pro
duced by themselves. All these and
other less important provisions were
modified.
After two weeks debate the house
yesterday passed the naval approprla-
ton bill, carrying $99,764,O0O.

efforts of the president and the Demo
cratic senatorial leaders to reach a
agreement on the rate bill received
further notice in the senate yesterday
from Senators Bailey and Tillman.
The matter was referred to by the

ticle in the Chicago Tribune charging
Mr.. Bailey with failure to find com
mon ground, and by Mr.. Tillman in a
speech in support of Mr.. Bailey and
in presenting further statement from
Former Senator Chandler.

the article in question as a "lie" and
the author and inspirer of it as liars"

tween Senators Daniel and Tillman
over an amendment to the anti-pass
provision.

Guided and tie measure was then re-
ported to the senate, where there will

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
County Clerk Sustained in Refusing
Wolf Bounties.
NOT DUPED BY FOX SCALP,

County Clerk Sustained in Refusing
Wolf Bounties.
Trouble has arisen at Menomonie
over the wolf bounty question For
years hunters and others have been
drawing $40 each on scalps of small
grayish-red animals claimed to be
wolves.
County Clerk C. G. Sedgwick was
not satisfied that these animals were
wolves and he visited the fur houses
of st. Paul and Minneapolis and got
the testimony of experts to the effect
that they are not wolves, but woods
gray foxes, on which the bounty is
only 81. He then refused to pay
further wolf bounties on these scalps,
Notwithstanding that the chairmen of
several towns made affidavit that they
were wolves scalps.
Jesse Emmons of the town of Yves
ton recently brought in six scalps and
on being refused the wolf bounty, sued
the county to recover the $3.50
claimed to be due The claim is made
that Mr.. Sedgwick has exceeded his
authority in refusing to pay these
bounties after the town chairmen had
made af1davits that the scalps were
those Of wolves. Mr. Sedgwick now
has appealed to the attorney general
and the latter has sustained his views
and upholds his action.--W.

INDIANS CLAIM BIG SUM.
Demand Proceeds of Sale of Pine
Lands in Wisconsin.

Demand Proceeds of Sale of Pine
Lands in Wisconsin.
Litigation involving hundreds OF
thousands of dollars of money claimed
by Wisconsin Chippewa Indians, the
proceeds from the sale of pine on land
allotted to the Indians by the federal
government, has been presented to
the Wisconsin supreme court in argu-
ments on a test case.
William G. Wheeler of GAINESVILLE,
United States district attorney, repre-
scented the claim that the Indians are
not yet entitled to draw the money
and use it, as they are under restric-
lions not to ALLEVIATE their government
granted land, and the proceeds from
the sale of the pine many times ex
ceeds the value of the land itself NJ
M. Tompkins represented the claim
that the restrictions against aliena
ton or sale of the land do not extend
to keeping from the Indians the right
to draw and use the money realized
from the sale of the pine.
The money is in the custody Of In
dian Agent Campbell of Ashland. The
test case was brought on a claim in
volving $4,000, but the total amount
involved is vastly more than that.

Legislative Investigation.
The University of Wisconsin is to
receive more attention at the hands
of the legislative committee appoint
ed at the special session to investigate
the state institution It is understood
that particular attention at the second
sitting of the committee will be paid
to the college of agriculture. Senator
Wylie, chairman Of the committee,
would probably be back here next
week and that it would get busy at
the farm school.
In addition to the farm school work,
which will be taken up again, it is I'M
derstood that there will be further
work in regard to the other depart
ments. Professors that do outside
work that were on the stand have
been contradicted, it is claimed, IN
some of their statements by other pro-
fessors, while some of those that do
the least school work and the most
outside work have not been called. 1t
is expected some of these will be
brought to the stand. 1t is claimed the
professors will dread the coming OF
the committee, while the students will

ably Affected With tuberculosis.
State Veterinarian E. D. Roberts
of Madison went to Kenosha to take
charge Of the cattle on the farm OF
former Congressman Isaac Stephen
son of Marinette, in the town OF Som
ers. Notice for the appointment of
appraisers to determine the value of
the cattle to be taken by the state was
filed in the justice court at Kenosha,
and the state official and his assist
ants began the work of testing the
cattle.
It is claimed that seventy-five head
of the cattle are affected with tubercu-
losis, and Mr.. Stephenson has notified
the state official that he will demand
the slaughter of every animal affected.
The herd is considered the most valu-
able herd of mich COWS in the United
States. The Marinette man has spent
thousands of dollars in bringing the
herd to this rare form and his loss as
the result of the slaughter of the anil
mails will be a tremendous one. The
cattle have already been tested by
the managers Of the farm and there is
no doubt but that many will be killed.
The cattle have been valued at 5000
a head, but they must be turned in to
the state at S33 or less.-W.
