an assistant district attorney by the
head of the office, William H. LangdOn.
Acting Mayor Gallagher, a Reuf adher-

official act was the removal Of Heney,

fused to give up the district attorney

came into his Office seeking divorce.
She said her husband had beaten her,
lashing her with a blacksnake whip,

divorce on such evidence.

WARM TIMES IN
M|LWAUK KEE
ELECTION
Mayor Rose Has Contest for
Nomination Other candi-
dates Are Active.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Milwaukee, Wis, March 2O.-The
hottest pre-convention campaign Mil
waukee has ever known concludes
with today's primary election. Five
candidates are lined up for the mayor
atty. Mayor Rose and w. G. Bruce
are in a struggle for the democratic
nomination. The contest for the re-
publican nomination is between sher-
burn M. Becker and w. J. Fiebrantz.
The social democratic candidate is w.
A. Arnold. He has no opponents for
the nomination, having already been
chosen by a referendum vote of his
party.
1t is the fifth campaign for Mayor
Rose. -Four times he has been elected
mayor. This time. however, he has
a fight on for the nomination. The
indications are that he will be sue
cessful in winning the nomination, but
his chances Of election are generally
believed to be less than ever before.
The spectacular part of the cam
paign thus far has been furnished by
Sherburn M. Becker, the young aspir-
ant for the republican nomination.
This young man, the grandson of s.
s. Merrill. whose genius made the st.
Paul road, and son of Washington
Becker, president of the Marine Ma
tional bank, has set a new pace for
campaign work in the Cream City.
His career to date bears a striking
analogy to the early years of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. Like Roosevelt, Mr..
Becker is Harvard: man, and he also
has had experience as a cowboy on the
western plains. He surprised his
friends four years ago by announcing
his intention to run for supervisor.
Nothing daunted, Becker started out
determined to be elected, and he was.
He signalized his term in-efice by un-
earthing county printing steal, and
the next year the county paid about
$4,000 for printing which had former
ly cost it $4,000. Tiring of. the coun-
ty board, Becker decided to run for
alderman. Again his friends laughed.
Again he was successful. Now they
are laughing again at his determina-
ton to be elected mayor. He may not
be elected. but there appears to be
an excellent chance Of his receiving
the republican nomination. He has
waged campaign that has caused the
old-timers to open wide their eyes.
Becker's opponent for the nomina-
ton. Fiebrantz, is an alderman with
considerable strength in the northwest
part of the city. W.. G. Bruce, who is
contesting the democratic nomination
with Mayor Rose, Is tax commissioner,
proprietor of the school board Jour-
nal, and close student of municipal
affairs.
w. A. Arnold. the social democratic
standard bearer. is printer with q
reputation for hard-headed common
sense. There are many unbiased on
lockers today who would not be sur
prised II Mr.. Arnold would be MIL
waukee's next mayor.

INCOME OF TEN MILLION

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Washington, March 2O.-John F..
Wallace. former chief engineer of the
Panama canal, appeared before the
senate committee on interoceanic can
ais today. Mr.. Wallace, in advocating
an approximately straight, sea level
canal of ample width and depth as the
best, urged that any other plan which
places restrictions upon the probable
permanency of the canal itself as we'll
~ upon the speed, size and number
Of vessels passing through it, must
render the canal far less valuable.
Assuming that the present tonnage
through the Suez of say 100000
tons per year would pass through the
Panama canal, even at a dollar per
ton there would be-" he said, IAN ap-
ploximate income Of $10.O00.000 which
is sufficient to justify an expenditure
of 0.000,O0O."
The later figure he deemed ample
10 construct sea level canal. AS to
the additional time involved, Mr.. Wal
lace predicted that upon the basis "of
reasonable energy and the use OF
proper business methods of adminis-
tration the sea level canal can be
fully completed in ten or to be en-
trely safe, say twelve years, and a
lock canal, even If only sixty feet
above the sea level, would require
only three years less.
