bors by what is simply misuse IL
property devoted to public service
The speaker discussed the ques,
ton of reciprocal demurrage. The
shipper has car" he said, lin his
possession which he will not load or
unload promptly SO as to set it free
for other service. A per diem
charge is made against him-a pen
atty for not doing what he ought to
and can do. So, they say, the rail-
road should be made to pay the like
amount when it does not promptly
furnish a car to the shipper when re
quested"
IF the railroad had a car which 1t
could furnish and would not, ths
cases would be alike and charge
might be called reciprocal. But the
very life of a railroad is in getting
empty cars loaded. 1t would be
suicide to withhold them from ship
pers. We do not fine people for
not doing what they wish to do but
cannot.
IF the penalty is to be for not haF
ing constantly on hand cars enough
to meet all requests, then say so, but
do not call it reciprocal demurrage
Reciprocity would be this If you
make the railroad pay the shipper
when it has no car for his load, then
a reciprocal charge would be to make
the shipper pay the railroad when
he has no load for its car, as is often
the case when crops fail or trade is
dull, and surely nobody would pro
pose that
The people in this country are real
lawmakers All they need is to I'M

mentioned bodies like this are leaders
of pubic thought and action The farm
ers and workmen and small dealers
are too numerous to meet and con
suit as you do, but they are prompt
to approve what they see to be proper
and right.

Declare They Will Stay Until the

Gets IS Votes on Last Caucus
Ballot of Fourth Week.
Madison, May 10.

Madison, May III.
The Wisconsin republican legisla-
tors last night closed another (the
fourth) week of caucus balloting for
United States senator, and while the
deadlock continues, there is practic-
ally a new lineup. Isaac Stephenson
reached the high water mark of the
caucus by getting 80 votes. 1t is
said that several others can be had
for him when their votes Will carry
the caucus, but as 80 are necessary
to nominate, there is still formid-
able length between the Marinette
man and the senatorship. The boom
of Senator Sanborn so strong
Wednesday night, has been squelched
by his absolute repulsion of offers of
support so long as w. H HatteD for
whom Senator SanbOrn is manager,
remains in the race. Senator Sanborn
had only two votes on the last Lallot
last night. Messrs. Esch and Hatten
each had 20 votes at last nights close.
Assemblyman Duncan. McGregor
showed substantial growth and grew
from 10 to Is votes. He is now
looked upon as a strong dark horse
possibility in case the deadlock drags
along another week. Messrs. Esch,
Hatten and Stephenson have an
nounced positively that they will not
withdraw in any event until an cleo
ton is reached.
The republican caucus resumes
Monday night.

SENATOR MOBILES BILL GOES
OVER FOR A WEEK.
OPPOSITION BY HUSTING
Declares Measure is Revolutionary
and Not Sanctioned by Demand of
the PeopIe-Author of the Meas
ure Points to Its Successful Aoop-
ton in Texas.
Madison, May 10.


The proposition to authorize cities
to abolish the system of goyernm EMS
by aldermanic boards and substitute
therefor system of government by
commissioners elected at large was
discussed in the senate yesterday
morning and the bill was aid over for
/ week in order to give oppoyt
for more thorough reading and stuuy
of it's provisions This bill is the
largest that has been introduced at
the present session OF the Legislature
and in fact the largest that has eve
been before the Wisconsin legislatu e
with the exception of the Milwaukee
charter bill which failed Of passage III
1908.
The bill was on the calendar Wiz
recommendation for passage by the
committee on villages and cities.
Senator Page asked that the roll be
called upon the question of advan
ing to engrossment and third reauni3
and Senator Noble made an argument
in favor Of the measure. He said that
it was not true as charged that the
bill was a new thing or a revolution
AIRY measure, because the aldermanic
system of city government came in
only about 1880 and prior to that
time cities had Deen governed -
small boards substantially as pro
posed in the bill. Iowa, Kansas,
Texas and South Dakota have laws
similar to this bill, and in Aexas,
where the system has had thorou&
trial, it has been found most success
full in lettering government and saw
ing vast sums of money, to the tax
payers, particularly in Galveston
Senator Noble argued that such a
system would surely bring a more
correct method of doing business,
would secure the services of better
men and would tend to eliminate
party and ward politics from munich
pal government
Senator Husting announced his ais
sent from the favorable report of the
committee on cities and villages and
declared he understood the commit
tee to be determined to report uhe
bill without recommendation. He
declared the measure to be revolu-
tfonary and not sanctioned by any
demand from the people of the state.
Senator Burns said he had not hal
opportunity to read the bill and was
not prepared to vote intelligently mp
on it. Senator Bird was similarly
situated and the bill was laid over
for a week

Boise, Idaho, June 28.--Attorneys for Wm. D. Haywood, charged with kill ling former Gov.

 Thomas Wood, a non-unionist who entered the Vindicator mine as a tim Der man after the strike began, swore that the night before the explosion he placed box containing twenty-five pounds of giant powder at the shaft of the eighth level. He saw the powder the next morning shortly after 10 o'clock and a few minutes later super intendent Mccormick and foreman Beck came to the eighth level. They remained but a short time and left to go to the sixth level where they were killed. Wood swore that when he reach ed the shaft twenty minutes later the powder was gone, and it was a req sonable inference that Mccormick and Beck took it with them.

UNWRITTEN LAW STANDS UPHELD IN VIRGINIA. Court in Loving Case Trial Refuses to Strike
 1t Out.

Houston, Va, June 2S,-The argument of the attorneys in the trial of former Judge William c. Loving for the mur- der of Theodore Estes was begun late this afternoon, after day spent by the address of both sides in the prep aration of instructions, and legal wrangle over them before the court. The instructions as read by Judge Barksdale discussed murder, it's vari- ous degrees, the question of reasonable doubt, the time allowed for a mans angry passions to subside, and espe- cially insanity. The following instruc- tions, prepared by the prosecution, touching on the "unwritten law were stricken out by the court:
 No man under the protection of the law has right to be the avenger of his own wrongs. If they be of a nature for which the laws of society give him an adequate remedy, thither should he resort; but be they of any nature what soever, he has no right to avenge them except in the matter prescribed by the law The unwritten law, by which is meant the right of the citizen to be- come the avenger of his own wrongs in a manner not authorized by law or against the law, has no place in the criminal jurisprudence of Virginia"

BRANFORD COURT HOUSE ROW ENDS Town Must Pay Years Rent for Suite in
 the Griswold
 Block. POLITICS CAUSE
 OF THE TROUBLE Selectmen Made a Contract Which Later Board Had Not Recog-
 lized.

A case of considerable local nots was decided in the court of common pleas yesterday, It is the second con- test over the Branford town court house, and it seems to be a political ls- sue of considerable magnitude In Bran ford.
 Tn 1897 the legislature established a town court in Branford. Lawyer Ed mund Zaoher was elected judge. There was no court house in Branford at the time, and the selectmen made a verbal contract with Samuel lA Gris- wold to rent a suite of rooms in Gris- wold block for the court house for two years. It was understood at the time that if Judge Zacher was reappointed that the Griswold house should be leased for two years more, The town went into occupation of the court house the first of October, 1897. Judge Zacher was reappointed by the legislature in the spring of 1899, and the selectmen, some time in September, 1S99 made another contract with Griswold to rent the court house for two years more, which would extend to october 1901.
 Meanwhile king had arisen in Egypt who knew not Joseph" A new board of selectmen was elected in Oc- tober. 1899. Tn the meantime, sundry
