DEAN Of SURVIVING
PIONEERS LIVING
SUCH Is JOHN HUSTIS NOW
RESIDING AT HUSTISFORD.
PrdCtiCed Law in Milwaukee
When 1t Was But d Frontier
Trading Post--Dug First Spadeful
of Earth for milwaukee, and Rock
River Cdndl-Other Data.

In an editorial which recently ap-
peared in the Milwaukee Evening
Wisconsin, the statement is made,
that John Hustisford of Hustisford,
who landed in Milwaukee in 1886,
when it was but frontier trading
post on the border of a wilderness, is
probably the dean of the surviving
pioneers of Milwaukee, Also, that
he, on the Fourth of July 1889 dug out
the first spadeful of earth for the Mil
waukee and Rock River canal, an en-
terprise which was intended to open
a water highway between Lake Mich
igan and the Mississippi river which
proved failure yet blessing, for it
created splendid water power for
Milwaukee which has been utilized to
good purpose. During the seventy
years that have passed since Mr..
Hustisford landed in Milwaukee a
splendid city has been built, the wild
elm ,ss transformed into garden
with a population of nearly 5000, 600
souls and the state dotted with beau
tiful villages and cities. The trans
formation has been marvellous and the
aged pioneers can look back with pride
upon their work

GOOD GUIDES ARE SCARCE
Outlook for Tourists, Hunters and
Fishermen in Canada
Is Poor.

Ottawa.-A serious problem for the
first time comes up in connection with
the tourist, fishing and hunting traffic
in the northern wilds of Canada, which
have hitherto been regarded as the
sportsman's paradise.
This problem relates to the impos-
sibiEty of obtaining the services of
experienced guides. Practically the
whole of the old and tried hands are
emploved this season in the transpor-
tation of supplies over the lakes and
streams to the new railways that are
being built, and this work calls for
the employment of men who are ac-
quainted with these remote regions
of tn Dominion.
A years experience on the part OF
one accustomed to life In those parts
is sufficient to fit an intelligent per-
son to act as guide, but it is difficult
to get men with even such meager
qualifications.

Chicago, June 22.-The final effort

hearing the supreme court denied
motion by Attorney Foltz for leave 20
file L more complete record and sup
port additional authority in Ivens'

BANDEL|N HELD TO
THE CIRCUIT COURT
CHARGED WITH IMMORALLY
ABUSING A YOUNG GIRL.
Appeared Before Judge Stacy Yes:
terddy for Preliminary Exdmind
tiOn-Bdil Fixed In the Amount of
S5OO-In Default Remdnded to
Jdil-CruetZmdCher Case Up.

Held to the circuit court under $500
bail is the result of the preliminary
examination of August Bandelin of
the First ward, charged with unlaw-
fully abusing in an immoral way a
young girl under fourteen years of
az ty the name of Elsie Weichert.
If the testimony introduced by the
girl in Judge Stacy's court yesterday
is true, Baudelin is nothing less than
brute and if found guilty, the full
extent of the law would be too mild
considering the seriousness of the al
legged cline.
The case came up for preliminary
hearing at 9 o'clock, the girl appear
ing on the witness stand and offering
some damaging evidence that will be
hard for the defense to tear down.
She gave evidence which was substan-
TALLY to the effect that on four occa-
sions there were improper relations,
the girl meeting the plaintiff by ap-
pointment at the Beals & Terry shoe
factory, where he was employed. She
also testified that there was each
time money consideration and that
the defendant tried to persuade her to
take shoes.
Drs. r. B. Hoermann and C. r.
Field, who had made a physical exam
,ination of the complaining witness,
were also on the stand and gave evi
Gence as to the condition of the girl,
which tended to show that evidence
existed as to the guilt of some per-
son.
Baudelin was given till 6 o'clock
last evening to produce the amount
of his bail and during the time inter-
vening he was under the care of Chief
of Police Block. At 6 o'clock, how
ever, the bail had not been given and
the accused was remanded to Jail to
await the action of the higher court.
The case of Ida Gruetzmacher, who
was arrested from evidence growing
out of the above case, will be ar
raigned before Judge Stacy this morn
ing to answer to the charge of solicit
ing and inducing young girls to her
home for immoral purposes.

Charles A. Towne as Witness,

Ih1s is from the press report of Charles
A. Towne's speech in the House yester-
day;
In explaining the large vote received
by President Roosevelt in the last election
Mr. Towne said there were thousands of
democrats who believed the democratic
candldate was sponsored by the class to
which their party was opposed and that
for that reason they did not support him"
Mr.. Towne was not very happy in this
statement. OF It's truth there can be no
question. Thousands of democrats did re-
fuse to support Judge Parker for the very
reason given. But Mr. Towne was himself
at st. Louis an active agent of the class
sponsoring Judge Parker. He aided to the
extent of his power in making the nomi-
nation there. He sits in the House today
as an agent of that class. When there
fore he puts upon the class that has made
and now sustains him the responsibility
for Judge Parker's defeat he indicts him
self along with the men who control him.
But more than this 1.-THE class that
sponsored" Judge Parker in 1904 seeks
now the control of the democratic party
of New York state. with the object of
naming and electing the next governor
AS Mr.. Bryan was it's bette noir Them Mr.
Hearst is its bette noir now. It's program
is ambitious. If 1t wins this local fight
1t will appear at the next democratic ma
tional convention prepared with the pres
tige of success to do battle there for its
policies. And if 1t wants him 1t will have
in Mr.. TOwne an agent as willing as before
to do its bidding. 1t Is already preparing
to re-elect him to Congress. 1t Is spon-
soring Mr.. Towne right along. That
"class" knows its business.
While II is true that the men who brought
about the nomination of Judge Parker made
his candidacy ridiculous by their organiza-
ton of the national committee and by other
means. the fact remains that democrat
could have defeated Theodore Roosevelt
that year. The republican candidate had
elements of popularity not to be overcome
His personality was picturesque and his
platform sound. He appealed to all sections
where elections were more than form. The
Bryanites of the west were Disguised to
find themselves in league with the Ryans
and the Belmonts, while the Clevelandites
of the east were little more amused than
enthused to hear the breathings OF
slaughter and ruin against the trusts by
the more conspicuous of the New York
trusts themselves In this way the Parker
campaign, in which Mr.. Towne figured, be-
came a riot of rot and ended naturally and
logically. in a rout-the most complete in
our history

Juvenile Beasts Of Burden.

There is no proper punishment for the
Wisconsin farmer who hitched four of his
children to plow and made them do the
work of a horse. This man belongs to a
special class OF criminals. Yet his case
cannot be treated with necessary severity.
To send him to jail for his cruelty would
impose an even greater punishment upon
his family The court authorities of the
county have compromised by compelling the
man to send his children TO school and to
pledge himself never again to hitch the
youngsters to do the work of animals
over in the European countries women
and children are often to be seen doing
duty as beasts of burden, and occasionally
some OF the immigrants have mistakenly
thought they could pursue the same method
on coming here. But public opinion is
strongly set against this form of brutality
and will never condone such offenses, what
ever the circumstances. II man is too
poor to own horse he ought himself to
bear the brunt of the hard labor necessary
10 break up the soil. This@Wisconsin farmer
might easily have done alone as much as
the four children he harnessed to the pillow
The demand of the day is for the educa-
ton Of the children, and every child that Is
kept in harness whether on the farm in
actual straps and ropes or in the city in
daily bondage to a task, is being defrauded
of that which belongs to it by right. Child
labor OF any sort which interferes with the
full moral and mental development of the
individual is vicious and demoralizlng, not
only to the child but to a large circle In
each community. child kept out of school
in order TO toll at some pittance-earning
work is loss TO the social organization.
II cannot become a productive member or
hope TO rise above certain low level.
The case of this Wisconsin farmer should
serve to stimulate Congress to the early
passage OF the bill which regulates child
labor in the District. There are many
youngsters hitched to plows right here In
the capital of the United States.

Croker Sustains Mcclellan

The New York Sun has this informa-
ton:
Richard Croker according to letters re-
ceived from him yesterday by New York
democrats believes that Charles F. Murphy
made very serious political and tactical
error when he elevated Representative w
Bourke Cochran to be grand sachern of the
Columbian Order. which is the social auxil-
larry of the Tammany Society. Mr. Croker's
criticisms of Mr.. Murphy for this act as
contained in Mr.. Cookers letters ii was as
certained, are based chiefly on Representa-
tive Cockrans opposition to Bryan in 1896
Mr.. Croker in his letters expresses doubts
OF the political wisdom of efeyating Mr.
Cochran to his present place Of authority
In the Tammany organization. Mr. Croker
It was further said. seriously doubted the
wisdom of adopting resolutions eulogistic
or President Roosevelt. as the last demo-
cratic city convention did Mr. Croker
personally admired President Mckinley and
has always admired President Roosevelt
but does not believe in what he calls en-
tangiing alliances with the opposition
Either the democratic party has a set Of
principles or IL has not, according TO MIR.
Croker. and he remarks that David B.
Hills political days were numbered when
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1906-05-25

be refused to support the democratic ma
tional ticket in 1896.
1t seems a little late in the day for Mr..
Croker to be manifesting constituencies op
the subject of Mr.. Murphys recognition of
Bourke Cochran. Mr.. Cochran Is serving
his second term in Congress as Mr.. Muir
phys choice, and he was Tammany's man
at st. Louis two years ago n the eonven-
ton which nominated Judge Parker for
PRESIDENT. Why has Mr.. Croker been
dumb. and apparently Indifferent. all this
time? Could he not see from the first that
Mr.. Cockrans reinstatement in the organi-
cation meant his rapid advancement to a
post of influence?
1t may be that Mr. Croker has found his
voice as the result of the break between
Mr.. Murphy and Mayor Mcclellan. Mr.
Cochran sides with Mr. Murphy, and it
would be strange IL Mr.. Croker did not side
with the mayor. Mr. Mcclellan is his pro-
tege-the most respectable and accom-
plished man In whom he has ever interested
himself. Mr.. Croker found Mr.. Mcclellan
in the ranks of reportorial newspaperdom.
and with no shining talents for the work,
and he gave him office, advancing him after
a little to seat in Congress. 1t was
thought then that the Tammany boss was
grooming the young man for the mayor
atty; but he passed from power before Mr.
Mcclellan was ripe for that Office. 1t re-
manned for Mr.. Murphy to do what Mr..
Croker had meditated. Is Mr.. Croker dis
pleased at the effort of Mr. Murphy and
Mr. Cochran to pull Mr.. Mcclellan down?
If so he has chosen the right time to speak
Mr.. Croker says that the democratic party
has, or it has not, set of principles. Speak
ing for Tammany Hall, he should have said
an assortment In his day he voted his or
ganization for gold, and then for free silver;
for protection, and then for free trade He
was always able to accommodate himself
to any party deliverance or situation AS
FOR David b. Hills decline, Mr. Croker for
gets that two years before Mr.. Hill repudi-
ated Organism he was defeated for gov
ernor of New York by nearly hundred and
fifty thousand votes.
