An Appeal for "The nread Line"

The Bowery Mission Bread Line"
at which 1000 men who are out in
the streets for the night are given
a breakfast of hot coffee and rolls
every morning at 1 o'clock, is one of
the most pathetic sights in all the
wide, wide world. Long before the
hour of opening these poor, starving
men stand in single line that some
times reaches for blocks in lerst tn,
waiting for the coffee and rolls. Drr-
ing the last winter this breakfast was
given to a total Of $4,000 homeless
men and boys, and up to date nearly
a half million of the homeless have
had their weary tramp restfully in
terrupted by this unique ministra-
ton. The first of these breakfasts
Is given on Thanksgiving morning,
and the last on the following Easter
mornins. Altogether the mission
supplied this year over $4,000
meals and 10,072 lodgings to home
less men and boys.
1t Is for this grand, philanthropic
work that we ask your kind and
practical cooperation. The home

ALABAMA oERTAINLY DRY.
Senate Passes Bill 80 to 2-Hopse
Confirms 40 to a.

Montgomery, Ala, Nov. 19.-The
most spectacular Legislative session
ever held in Alabama was that of the
Senate to-day, the item of interest
being the statutory prohibition bill,
already adopted by the house, and
special order of the noon hour.
The galleries were filed with wo-
men who were working for the elimi-
nation of whiskey, while large del
egation of Mobile women opposing
walked and worked about the lobby.
When two carloads Of Mobile wo-
men came to the city to-day to lobby
against the prohibition bill they
found that delegations from Mont
gomery. Selma and Birmingham had
filed the Senate galleries until not a
seat was left.
It was q plan to crowd them out,
and little children filled the lobb!es
and pinned ribbons on every one who
| came In. The scene was one of the
| most spectacular In the history of the
| State, az t,,,k.> sf,aF 3
| When the Mobile women arrived
they found that they had to stay out
side, in the alrepdys crowded lobbies.
Children were kept out of school to
work against whiskey.
So great was the interest on the
outside that all the space was filled.
Seeing the situation Lieutenant Gov
ernor Henry b. Gray ordered the
doors opened, believing that all
should be allowed the maximum priv
ilege at time like this.
Broke into Song.
While the speaking was going on
there were cheers after cheers and
hand-clapping at every point When
the vote was announced with only
two votes against it, the assembly
broke out with praise God from
Whom All Blessings Flow" the
sounds reverbrating through the old
building until hundreds of throats
took 1t up.
:, AS passed the bill provides that

RELIEF IN MONOPOLY.
Senator Hudnall Points to Failure OF
Competition to Settle Public
Utilities Question.

BARNEVELD, Wis, Feb 2.-Senator
George b. Hudnall of Superior delivered
an address here last night before an au-
dience which completely filled the hall
and he addressed himself to the subject
of the control of public utilities in Wis
consin.
As an argument seeking TO establish
the fullest measure of state control, Sen
ator Hudnall calls attention to dangers.
He takes the view that with the power
of state regulation should go protection
of the corporations in the enjoyment OF
their franchise rights, as controlled and
regulated, without Unnecessary COMPETE
ton, the effect of which is to impose an
additional burden upon the people and
by dividing the earning capacity of the
corporations. In other words, Senator
Hudnall inclines to the view that what
amounts to monopoly, under strict
state control, will afford relief, when
competition will utterly fail to result in
the relief demanded.

MURDER BY INSPIRATION
INSANITY EXPERTS SAY DAN M

Told Them Christ Ordered Him to Kill
Thomas Connors and to Finish
Him Then"

WAUKESHA, Wis, Feb. 2-LSpe-
cial THAT Dan Mcmahon was suffer
ing from the insane delusion that Christ
told him he must kill Thomas Connors
when he shot the latter to death, De
cember 4, was the contention OF the
defense in the McMahon murder trial
yesterday.
In support of this the testimony OF
several insanity experts was taken. Or.
Walter Kempster of Milwaukee teStl-
fled to examining McMahon who he
said he found suffering from chronic
Mahon told him he heard the voice OF
Jesus Christ tell him to kill and that
he believed his act was a righteous one.
The opinion that McMahon is lncuraply
insane was concurred III by Dr. IL; NJ.
Meyer of Chicago DR.. Capcn OF Madl-
son, and Dr. Hugo Philler OF tins city
all sworn as experts. DIR. Phlller testl-
fed that he asked McMahon why he
fired the second and third shots when
Connors was fleeing from him ana that
he replied voice told him he must
finish him then" DR.. Capen gave SIM
liar testimony and said that while Nc
Mahon had some of the marks OF de-
peneracy thew were not sufficiently pro-
nounced to warrant his classification as
Il degenerate.
With the completion of the cross-ex-
animation of the experts by District Al
torney MuckleSton, the ueIehSe lcSleu
on the insanity issue and Mr. Muckles-
ton made his opening address for the
state which was his maiden effort as
prosecuting attorney Deputy Sheriff
Palmer who arrested Mcmahon. re-
lated the story of the trouble between
the two men and the shooting as told
him by Connors, Il concise, connected
and comprehensive statement he SAID.
He had never considered McMahon IN
sane and noticed nothing unusual about
him. Two nei@hbors of the defendant
testified they had never considered HIM
insane. He was a shreWd business man:
McMahon had served as Il member or
the committee that built the new school
house in his district.
Former Sheriff kunz testified tins
morning that while he had the defendant
in his custody he never observed any
signs of insanity either in his manner or
speech. A farm hand who was EN-
ployCd by McMahon in 1903 testified
that he asked the defendant why he did
not have Connors help him and that
McAIahon said IF that - ever comes
on my place he will never leave il alive.
Several neighbors of the defendant IN
Guiding Herman Ireland, Christ Kent,
Louis Snyder and Michael Connors,
brother of the murdered man, had known
the defendant for years and always sup
posed he was sane. He was ratlona!
when a member of the school building
committee. The defense was exceedingly
brief in the cross-eXamination OF these
witnesses.

A Measure That Should Be Defeated.

From every part of the United States
there arises protest against the recon-
mendations of the joint commission au-
thorized by Congress to make an INQUIRY
concerning second-class mail matter. The
Evening Wisconsin has intimated its
opinion that the bill whose enactment
the commission recommends is measure
that should not pass. 1t returns to the
subject for the purpose of clearly lm-
pressing the objections to the bill upon
the minds of members OF the Wisconsin
delegation in Congress.
Reputable newspaper publishers do not
desire to have their publications carried
in the mails at a loss to the government;
but they very strenousY object to legls-
lation which would authorize officials to
interfere with details of the publication
business which in free countries from
their very nature always have been and
always should be settled in the office Of
publication. by the persons concerned in
the enterprise of publishing. They OBJ
iect to being restricted as to the paper
they shall use in printing; they object
to being debarred from placing portion
of their advertising in the supplement
if they deem that arrangement best.
They object to unreasonable dictation
the authorization of which would be
neculiarly liable to open the door Tor
discrimination and oppression.
While opposition to the proposed law
is general on the part of the press or
the country. some of the strongest objcc-
tons have appeared in Wisconsin news,
nnpers, Not only the seven hundred
newspapers in Wisconsin would be inju-
riousiy affected by the law, but heavy
blow would be struck at the vast paper
industry of the state.
Every member of the Wisconsin dele
eotiop in Congress should vote against
