EIGHT ARE DROWNED
SUNDAY FISHERMEN WRECKED
OFF NEW JERSEY.
'TWIxT WIND AND WAVE
TWO Elements Combine to Cause
Small Craft to Turn Turtle and
Blot Out the Lives of
Passengers.

Augelsea, N. 1.-Two yachts coming
in from the fishing banks capsized on
Hereford Inlet bar off here Sunday,
and so far as can be ascertained eight
persons lost their lives. There were
80 persons on one yacht, OF whom
seven were lost, and IL on the other,
all of whom but one were saved. That
not more fell victims to the rough sea
was due to the heroism of Capt. Henry
S. Ludlow, of the Hereford Inlet life
saving station, and crew of five men.
Angelsea is one of the favorite fish
ing places along the southern New
Jersey coast and has seldom had a
buster Sunday. Every excursion train
from Philadelphia and other nearby
points came down crowded with Wis
itors most of whom intended spend
ing the day in fishing.
The weather in the morning was
ideal and all the fishing boats took
out large crowds to the fishing banks.
After noon, however, a brisk breeze
sprang up and the captains of the
small craft hoisted sail and started
for home. Most of the fleet got in
without mishap, although some OF
them had considerable difficulty in
clearing the Hereford bar.
The two that got into trouble were
the sloop yacht Nora, which had on
board Capt. Herbert Shivers, his mate
and 80 passengers, and the sleep Al
vim B. with a party of IL.
The Nora had gone to the fishing
banks at Five Fathom bank about ten
miles out to sea early in the day.
When the wind began to freshen
Capt. Shivers decided it was time to
make port and with the assistance of
a small gasoline engine and good
spread of canvas he made good time
toward Angelsea. AS the sloOp
bowled along the wind was getting
sitter and the sea rougher.
Capt. Shivers, from long experience,
knew how treacherous is the Hereford
bar and approached it with his
usual caution. The sand obstruction
is about mile from shore. Just as he
was about to go over it heavy squall
struck the Nora.
Despite the efforts of the captain
the craft heeled over and was hit by
a huge wave. The wind and the
wave coming together was more than
the yacht could stand and it turned
completely over, throwing the 80 oc-

NEWS OF WISCONSIN
HAPPENINGS OF INTEREST IN
THE VARIOUS TOWNS.
WORKING ON BIG TRESTLE
Structure That Will Span the Manito-
woo River Now Well Under Way
Expect Trains to Be Run
ming by August 20.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS work on
the big LOO foot viaduct trestle
which is to span the Manitowoc river
on the western outskirts of the city
as a part of the Green Bay extension
OF the Chicago & Northwestern rail-
way is now under way, having been
started, and one section, SIS feet in
length, has already been placed in
position. The project is one of the
greatest undertakings in connection
with the building of the Green Bay
extension and with a similar trestle
at Green Bay to complete, the line
will be open for operation within a
short time
In all, IS sections will be required
in the span, each of which is SIS, feet
in length and the bridge Orders will
be of the same proportional length.
1t is expected that the entire job will
require from six to seven weeks.
Trains, however, will be able to trav-
erse the span before that time, this
being possible before the riveting is
completed. Unless anything unfore-
seen occurs, the service over the new
line can be started on August 20.
Riveting of the structure, one of the
jobs in connection requiring the Ions
est period of time, will of necessity
have to be completed before the
heavy freight traffic, for which the
line was designed, can be attempted.
In the construction work here, the
largest derrick ever used in work of
this kind in the state, is being used.
1t measures about 60 feet over all,
has a IS foot beam, and 40 foot
mast. The span is being started on
the north side of the river.
Completion of the work on the ex-
tension has been delayed because of
the trouble at Green Bay, where a
portion of the piling and piers gave
way, not having been sufficiently Sc
cured, and with the Inauguration of
construction of the local trestle, and
it's completion, the line can be opened
as far as the limits of Green Bay and
may be operated south from, and
north to, that point. 1t is probable
that it will be near the first of the
year before the train service into the
northern terminals depot will have
been inaugurated. The trestle at Green
Bay will be 1850 feet in length.

BARRED from Political Activity.

Barred from POLITICAL ACTIVITY
Il am of the opinion that, accord
ing to the provisions of this section,
no officer, agent, clerk or employee un-
der the government of the state shall
solicit or receive political service,
such as the circulating Of nomination
papers, from any office, agent, clerk
or employe of the state" The above
is an excerpt from an opinion of At
torney General Sturdevant, which
places ban on the activity of per-
sons holding positions under the civil
service of the state. 1T was not the
purpose of the legislature as ex-
pressed in the civil service law" con-
tinues the opinion, ito In any way
abridge the rights of citizenship of
the persons coming within the provis-
ions of the law. Employees of the
state have the same right as formerly
to freely express their opinions upon
political subjects, and their prefer
ences for candidates for office, but
believe the law plainly prohibits the
acceptance of such political service
as the circulating of nomination pa
pers from state employees" This
opinion was rendered to the state
civil service commission in response
to a request for ruling on the mat
ter from Secretary F. e. Doty. The
department will place the ruling in
effect at once.

Democratic Slate Made Up.

The Democratic party slate for Wis
consin has been announced with the
exception of the candidate for treas
urer. 1t has been the policy of the
party since the primary election law
was passed to make up states. in local
as well as state campaigns. The ticket
now stands as follows: Governor,
Ernest Morton, Waukesha; John A.
Awkward, Madison. Lieutenant gov
ernor, August Gavin, of Milwaukee
Secretary of state, Clarence j. Noel,
Marinette. Attorney general, Martin
Lueck, Juneau. Insurance commits
sioner, Henry Neuens, Sheboygan.
The attorney general has delivered
an opinion which illustrates the plan
of party committeeman to fill up the
ticket according to the desires of
managers by simply declining to cir
culate primary election nomination
papers. The managers planned to fill
these vacancies" but the attorney
general says if such vacancies exist
merely because of failure to make
nominations no committee can fill
them. In case of death or disability
matters are different.

defray the expenses incident to the,
observance of Memorial day, and
cities of more than 5000 may appro
pirate 500 for the same purpose. The
