Land company, one of five Oshkosh
capitalists indicted in connection with
land frauds in Oregon, stated that the
Oshkosh men arrested know nothing
about the land described in the indict-
ment as having been obtained fraudu-
lently.

Timber company, but that this concern
has purchased no Oregon lands since
1900 and that the tract owned by the
company is forty or fifty miles from
that described in the Indictment. Mr..

Antifraternity Crusade in Form of
DuCking Smart "FreShieS"
Halted.

Madison, Wis, May THE ant
Greek-letter fraternity crusade by an
organization Of "barbarians," as the
nonfraternity students are called, has
received a severe check by the p omp
faculty action that has followed the
recent haZing of Joseph +. PtiffLer f
Stvens Point. He was painted With
iodine. his head sheared and he was
finally ducked in Lake Mendoza A
faculty investigation followed and two
students were allowed to withdraw in
lien Of being suspended from the uni
versity
The faculty investigation developed
the fact that list of ''smarty frat
ternity freshmen" had been prepared
and were to be hazed during the re
mainder Of college year by the barb
organization. The summary action Of
the faculty has placed a wet blacket on
the organization plans. Much sym
pathy is expressed here for the anti
fraternity movement, but the faculty
is determined that lawIess and violent
hazing shall be eliminated.

GRAIN GRADING
QUESTION IS UP
Arbitration Board Discusses
Interesting Case.

Milwaukee, Wis, May 4.-Whether
corn or any other grain shipped to Mil
waukee and graded by the chamber Of
commerce inspectors can be given a
lower grade while in elevators here
was considered by the board Of arbitra-
ton of the chamber of commerce. The
case was started by the F. Kraus COM
pany against the Milwaukee Elevator
company, which represents the Armour
interests here.
Dealers are watching the case with
great interest, as some take the ground
that it would be better to have no Of

but that it should be received upon its
merits and after the purchase is made
from samples.

Matters of General Interest to Our
Readers Reported by
Telegraph.
PRINCIPAL EVENTS OF q WEEK
State Items of General Interest from
Various Sources for the Benefit
of Our Readers.

Milwaukee, May THE famous
Daniel Wells farm in Kenosha county.
which was sold about eighteen months
ago by the Wells estate to j. w
Dowd, Of Chicago, has been resoId by
HanlOn, ButtIes & Co, of that city, to
Or. Robert G. Werner for $4,000.
The farm includes S64 acres and the
price paiC makes the transfer one Of
unusual interest.
The farm is known throughout the
United States as a dairy and stock
farm. 1t lies near PIeasanton, Keno
sha county, and originally consisted Of
q plot of 600 acres, which was bought
by the late Daniel Wells about seven
teen years ago. He added adjoining
plots to it until he had a tract of 1900
acres. On this he had many hundred
cattle, the milk sales amounting to ST.
600 month. There were herds Of
sheep and many drOves of fine stock
horses. A house costing $4,000 vas
built on the property, and for while
the farm conducted a creamery, but
this was abandoned and a contract
for the milk was made with a Chica-
go firm. Several years ago about
half of the farm was sold to a powder
manufacturing company and the land
transferred this week amounted only
to S64 acres.
The late Daniel Wells did not live
at the farm and seldom visited it. It
was in charge of Harding Crow of
PIeasanton.

MERIT LAW IS ATTACKED
Wisconsin State Banking Department
Enters Suit Against the State
Civil Service Act.

Madison, Wis, May 3.-Papers have
been served in a suit brought by the
state banking department attacking the
constitutionality of the new state civil
service law. Ex-senator r. NJ. Bash,
ford is counsel for the department.
The intent of the law, it is alleged,
was to exempt the banking depart
ment, but the attorney general held
that the department is not exempt.
Points urged are that the commits
sioners usurps the power of the secre-
tary Of state in auditing vouchers; that
it employs legislative powers in max
ing rules and bylaws, and illegally
seeks to hold jurisdiction of the bank
ing department. Bank Commissioner
Bergh secured leave Of the supreme
court to bring suit.

Features OF the Act.
NASS MEETING IN LONDON
r FROM ZIMMERMAN

LONDON, November 27.-The intensity
of the political feeling aroused by the house
OF lords treatment of the educational bill
found expression today in an emergency
meeting OF the general committee of the
National Liberal Federation, at which
resolution was unanimously adopted urg-
Ing the government to take the drastic
step of totally rejecting the lords amend
ments to the bill and to 'resolutely de-
termne that the present parliament shall
not come to an end until steps are taken
to bring to final arb:trament the question
whether the house of peers should any
longer possess the right OF veto On the will
OF the people as declared by the house of
commons"
The meeting was the largest and most
representative Of its kind which had as
sembied during the twenty years The
speakers warmly denounced the action of
the peers. declaring that the house of COM
mons should not waste another day in con-
sldering the amendments to the BILL which
should be returned to the house of lords
without debate, and that the liberal gov
eminent ought to apply the only remedy,
which must be drastic and final
An important letter from Sir Henry
Campbell Zimmerman was read, In which
the premier said that 1t was realized by
all liberals that the house of lords would
hasten TO assert itself as the instrument
OF unionism as soon as the country rem
dered verdict agains. the unionist gov
eminent and the unionist policy Con-
tinuing, the premiers letter read:
Will of the People.
Still, We may plead guilty to a certain
sense of surprise at the violence Of the
manifestation, now that 1t has come. The
education bill passed by the house of
commons was a bill which the country de-
manded in unmistakable terms at the gen.
eral election. 1t now seems to have been
turned into a travesty of it's original FORM
AS amended it perpetuates if it does not
extend the very grievances and wrongs
fixed upon the country by the act Of 1902.

we will have no tampering with the
main principles on which our bin Is
founded. If within these, limits an ar
rangemcnt can be reached, all well and

on this question of education and on bth-
ers way is found by which the wishes of
the country may be. made to prevail

ricaded himself for thirty-six hours in the

making an effort to reach the Wabash or
Ohio river.
Shulley Is said to have left by way Of the
shaft of the Midland mine. This is located
two miles from the Tower Hill mine, but
the tunnels of the two mines intersect In
several places. The fugitive was driven
out by forcing smoke and impure air into
the manway of the mine. A big posse was
at work all night.
The sheriffs party has now begun scour-
ing the county in the hope of locating Shul-
ley. The reign Of crime which has -four
ished in this county for the last year has
inspired the officers to determination to
bring this guilty man to justice Threats
