lives was demonstrated when black
feline was taken out of brick conduit
at the power station of the Philadel-
phia Rapid Transit company, after be-
ing subjected for three weeks to a
constant shock of 1920 volts of cleo
tricity.
Although 1000 volts will kill the
average man. $4,000 volts and over did
not injure the cat more than singing
his ears and feet just little. Dur
ing the three weeks he had nothing to
eat or drink.
The cat got into the conduit through
small door that had been left open.
The mechanism of The conduit Is in
operation day and night. The other
night 1t was determined to get the ami

five hours, the trolley cars being fed
from another station until the feline

ASSEMBLY REFUSES
TO RECONSIDER
THE PRIMARY BILL r MR.. Nc
kENZIE.
A WARM DEBATE ENSUES
Mr.. Sprague Declares that Attempt to
Pass Measure is an unjustifiabIe
Effort to wipe Out Minority Party
-Favors Amendment ooins Away
With Secrecy.

An effort to reconsider the vote on
the Mckenzie bill to require a total
of twenty-five per cent of the party
vote at the primary before any candi'
date can be designated as the party
candidate failed in the assembly yes
terday morning, although the friends
of the measure succeeded in securing
few more votes than they had Tues
day when the vote stood 50 to 81. The
vote yesterday stood So to SO.
The debate which ensued again
yesterday morning when the motion
to reccS slider came UP was a repetit-
ion of the discussion which took
place when the bin first came up. The
democrats, Messrs. O'Neil and
Hughes, and the several republicans,
Messrs. Sprague and Curtiss, again
opposed the measure. Mr. Sprague
stamped the attempt to pass the
measure as an unjustifiable effort to
wipe out ne minority PARTY, de ad
yanced the startling proposition that
he was in favor of an amendment to
the primary law which would do away
with secrecy at the primary alto
gether. He desired to see a law en-
acted which would OF permit man
to go into the booth on primary day
, and receive from the election official
a ballot of each party and then vote
one. He desires to make it neces'
sary that the voter announces which
particular party ticket he wants to
vote. Tie fear of boycotting OF
the part of large employers be
stamped as a bug-a-boo.
The suggestion made by Mr.
Sprague came as the result of taunt
on the part of the advocates of the
measure that the republicans were
going back on their platform declara
ton to the effect that an amendment
; to the primary law is desirable. NJ
Sprague took issue with them tha
the law they propose is not the one de
sired and advanced his scheme as q
better one.
Mr.. Stout and the social democrats
took issue with Mr.. Sprague on thai
question, though the latter are op
posed to the Mckenzie bill also. Mr.
Stout maintained that the fear is moi
a bug-a-boo, and that there is plenty
of evidence to support the charge in
the small one man" towns in the
north The social democrats referred
Mr.. Sprague to conditions in Milwau
kee, wher powerful employers are
and could use It despotically If the
amendment suggested SHOULD 81
through
The debate instead of being con
fined to the measure before the house
gradually included many collatera
issues, the fate of the democratic
f, party, the practice of democrats tc
vote for republicans, the perfdy d
republicans in going back on plat
form pledges, and many other irrele
| want issues.

Choice Of Bethel Granite of Vermont
Practically Precludes Use of other

Madison, May 2,

According TO terms substantially
agreed upon between the capitol com
mission and representatives of the
Woodbury. Granite Co. the entire su.
perstrueture of the new capitol will
be built of white Bethel granite at a
cost of $500 900 less than the original
bid called for, which excluded the ap
proaches The walls of the entire
west wing are to be completed by De
cember / of this year, according &c
conditions in the agreement, ara abs
work of setting the stone will be be

The commission was in executive
session all afternoon until after

and g. H. D. Johnson of Milwaukee
The granite men were represented b.

It was thought at first that Wiscon

ture, probably the approaches. WheI
The white granite was selected 70
the superstructure, however, the com
mission found that the choice prac
tically precluded the use of other ma
tcrial, especially the Wisconsin stone
because Wisconsin stone could not b.
furnished In time to complete th'
west wing for the next session of thu
Legislature. 1t was found by the com
mission that practically no other wa!
could be found to have the new capito
sufficiently under way for the next leg

The commission learned by expert
ence and examination, during the tril
east visiting the quarries, many les
sons of value in drafting the detail
of the contract which will shortly b.
signed The item of a 100000 redue
ton as compared with the original BIZ
| is no small achievement, especial,
since The terms of the present con
tract call for more material than th'
original bid called for.
