FAKE ARREST COSTS $1,000.
Wisconsin Company Loses Personal
Damage Suit to Woman.

Damage Suit to Woman.
A decision of great interest in st. Croix
county was handed down by the SUI
preme Court at Madison, when it decided
the famous damage suit against the Apple
River Power Company, a corporation OPP
Grating water power electrical plants on
the Apple river. 1t was the case of Mrs.
Julia King of Somerset against the COM
pany. and Dr. f. W. Epley, its Wiscon-
sin officer. Mrs. King sued for $1,000
damages for alleged false arrest. She
was charged with having cut down one of
the company's poles at Somerset, while it
was later proved that her son, who was
arrested with her, really cut down the
pole. Mrs. King was discharged in JUS
tice court and then started her suit for
damages. The case was tried before Judge
Helms, the Circuit judge, and a special
verdict was submitted to the jury by the
court. This special verdict was returned
with all the questions answered, award
ing the woman $1,000 damages. The
Supreme Court upheld the decision.

TAYLOR MAY GET
 DESIRED PLACE. Alabama Congressman Awaits
 Cannon's Pleasure TRANSFER VERY PROBABLE Alabama Will Hardly Get Another Man On Appropriations Committee, As Other Assie enments Have
 Been Requested.
TRANSFER VERY PROBABLE

Washington. November s5-(SpeCial)- It is announced here that Representative Taylor of Alabama has definitely deter mined to surrender his place on the ap- preparations committee of the house pro- vldng lie can be given q place on the rivers and harbors committee. While Speaker Cannon cannot at this time give confirmation to the desires of MT. Fay Tor, 1t is expected that the Alabama mem Der will be placed on the committee, i'll view of the fact that the appropriations committee is generally regarded as q more desirable committee and one whose places are more sought after
 MT. Taylor, of course agrees to give up the appropriations committee, owing to the general demand made upon him by Alabama people to go on the rivers and harbors committee in order that he may complete the works of improvement so splendidlv begun in the house by Sen ator Banknead. There are about 20 mem bers after the rivers and harbors Va cancy, and for that reason Speaker Can non cannot state positively at this time that he will give MT Taylor the rivers and harbors assignment
 Should MT. Taylor be appointed oil rivers and harbors, the appropriations vacancy which his transfer will create will in all probability be lost to the state. The Alabama delegation has indorsod Representative Hefiin for agriculture and Representative Hobson for naval affars, The chances favor MT. Hehin's appOint- men, As an Ala bama man. Mir. Bowie goes off the committee. HobsOn's ap- pointment to naval affairs is very doubt full Besides being a new member. his naval policy is not enthusiastically sup ported by the democrats or Speaker Can non himself There is report that the President may request the Speaker to put Hobson on naval affairs It would be a most unusual thing for n President to do. but so far as tha goes Mir Roosevelt not infreauently docs unusual things

of Soldiers Must Be h. creased or OId World Methods RsSorted To
 
ADJUTANT GENERAL MAKES
 4 SIGNIFICANT REPORT
The Report of the Adiutant Suggests That Pay of Soldiers Must Be h. creased or Conscrption
 May Be Resorted To.

Washington, November 3. The diff
 culty If securing recruits for the army,
 the prevalence of desertion, with the req sons therefor. and an unwelcome sugges- ton that the decadent European system of conscrption or compulsory military service may become necessary to maintain
 the American army at it's maximum
 strength, are the features of the annual
 report of Adiutant General Ainsworth to
 the Secretary of War.
 Says the adIutant general:
 Notwithstanding the most strenuous ef-
 forts on the part of the war department
 and the recruiting officers and their et-
 forts in all parts of the country. 1t has
 been found impossible wholly to mako
 good the losses occurring in the present
 strength of the army, to say nothing ot
 increasing that strength to the limit aH-
 thorized by law and executive order. The
 government, in It's efforts to procure men
 for the army is now competing every
 where with employers. who are able to offer men much greater Inducements than the government now offers. If present conditions continue, there will be nothing
 for the government to do but to meet this competition by materially increasing tho l soldiers pay. or to evade the competition altogether by a resort to cOnscr1pttOn. As to the causes of this state of affairs
 the adjutant general says they are the
 same to a considerable extent as those whiea lead ,o desertidq. During the last fiscal year there wara 45j2 desertions-5.6 l per cent of the army as against 7.4 per l cent during the preceding year Reasons i for the decrease in enlstments are not 1 difficult to find. according to the report. 1 These are The low rate of pay as com i pared with that obtaining in civil life. 1 dissatisfaction with the hard work of i practice marches, drills, and the fatigue ! duties necessary to keep post in good i condition the abolition of the canteen.
 and the failure of the recruits to sppre- 1 clate fhe obligations of a contract; their l ignorance of the seriousness of assertion; frequent changes of company officers.
 due to a shortage of officers and the lack of experienced, capable well-paid and sat- ished non-commissioned officers. The re- port states that the means for the re- moval of most of these causes are ob- vious. and are to considerable extent l beyond the control of the war depart- ment.

Democrats Discuss Attack On
 the Administration
REPUBLICANS SAY NOTHING
Criticism of Government Financial Policy Will Hardly Affect FoW- lers Position, as He Is Au-
 thority on Finance.

Washington, November 25.-(Special.)-- The attack upon the administration s financial policy by Representative Fow Ter of New Jersey, the republican chair man of the committee on banking and currency in the last Congress. and pros ,pective chairman for the Sixtieth Con- gress, has created considerable discus sion in congressional circles. The demo- crats, who have already, through their leader, John Sharp Williams, announced their intention of criticising the admin istration, are delighted over MT. Fow- Ter sharp arraignment of the action of his own administration.
 The disposition of the republican lead CTS of the House, so far as it is ind cated in private conversation, is not to encourage any effort which may be made to overturn the action of the executive branch, nor to countenance reflection by the House upon the policy now in force. Although it is true that most republicans in Congress differ with the executive upon the construction of the act of Congress under which the 3 per cent certificates were issued 1t is said they realize that nna0cldl cOuullioHS Wtle e such that hair splitting on constructions was not to be countenanced. In other words they rely upon one of the Roose- welt notices: "The end, if successful. always justifies the means"
 The republican organization of the house will not agree to action by the House which will reflect upon the ad- ministraton, especially as such action would be the proposition of the minority.
 The leaders say that MT. Fowlers re- marks will not affect his appointment to tn } chairmanship of the committee, how ever. He is recognized as an authority upon finance, and has earned his chair manship by his service. 1t is said that the fact that he might hold an opinion at variance with the policy of the Pres ident and the Secretary of the Treasury would not be reason for deposing him from his position.
 Representative Fowler has not sue ceeded in drawing the fire of either the President or the Secretary of the Treas ury by his adverse comments on the proposed issue of Panama canal bonds or treasury certificates.
 The attention of Secretary Cortelyou was brought to Chairman Fowlers statement but MT. Cortelyou merely said that he had nothing to communicate in regard to it.
 It is feared that developments on the republican side during the past two days renders more difficult than ever a ma iority agreement on financial iegislation, already a very doubtful proposition.

iustifying the issue of the certificates is the changes which have been made in the available resources Of the treasury during the present month. The nominal balance available, after deducting deposits | in national banks and to the credit of disbursing officers Is s6,959,5l0. This amount does not vary radically from the l figures of last week, but the existence Of any balance whatever has been produced | by a readjustment of other items of the balance sheet which has released about SIS. 900 600 which was not available at the close of October.
 The general fund of cash in the treas ury held against outstanding checks and other liabilities has fallen from s12S,- S4s. .27s on October 21 to s110. 779 today. To offset this loss in cash the demand liabilities outstanding have been reduced from sl15, ,4O0. .0S5 to s103 572. .269 This change has been brought about chiefly by cut ting down balances to the credit of dis
 bursting officers, and thereby diminishing g their power to draw without notice upon the cash in the treasury. The conditions which will confront the treasury six months or a year hence are beginning to be studied with some interest by the officials. It is generally believed that there will be considerable decline in re- ceipts as the result of business depres- sion The decline which taken place dur ing the present month, which has car ried down gross receipts by nearly ST. O00O0O. is admitted to be, in sense. temporary, because due to the difficulty in obtaining money for customs and in- ternal revenue payments. It is antici- pated. however. that there will be con- siderable decline in receipts from dimin- ished consumption during the remaining seven months of the fiscal year ending June 30 next.
 Surplus of Receipts.
 The surplus receipts over expenditures thus far for the fiscal year beginning July 1, last, stands at the nominal amount of S1BSI2 while the surplus for the same period a year ago was SIP, 332, 469. If the remainder of the year should show a deficit in ordinary receipts. there might be serious need for a part of the large
 surplus which is being accumulated from receipts and proceeds of the loan. Under the arrangements now proposed. by which
 $75,O0O.OOO of the proceeds of one-year cer- tifcates are to be deposited in the banks, the treasury will gain In actual cash only
 $2o. .0OO00O from this source. similar distriDution of the proceeds of the Pan anna issue of s5O.000,000 will add s12, ,5OO, 900 to cash in hand. but this amount is likely to be required for construction work on the isthmus. Under these circumstances it may be necessary to withdraw addi- tional sums of the national hank deposits when money begins to accumulate in the ' banks after the present pressure is ended.

Insanity Expert Declares She Is
 Clearly Insane
TESTIMONY IS UNSHAKEN
Long Hypothetical Question Is Read and Witness Says Mrs. Bradley Was Insane When She
 Killed Brown.

Washington, November 25.-That Mrs. Annie NJ. Bradley was insane at the time she shot former Senator Arthur Brown of Utah, in this city on Decem- ber s last, was the opinion of Dr. Will fired M. Barton of Georgetown university and a specialist in nervous diseases, eN- pressed at the trial of Mrs. Bradley to- day. His testimony followed the reading to him of a hypothetical question of 1s,050 words covering the history of Mrs. Bradley's relations with Senator Brown from the day she met him to the day of the tragedy.
 Dr. Barton diagnosed Mrs. Bradley's ailment as being puerperal insanity, caused by what he described as the continued assaults upon her nervous sys-
 tenn, due to the abortions which she
 had had performed upon her. In explain ing why he looked upon her as an ab- normal woman he said she was inter
 ested in things that do not usually at
 tract women and lnstanced the fact that
 she was secretary of a political club as an evidence of her abnormality. pr. | Barton was on the stand practically the entire day and was subjected to a severe
 cross-examination by the district attor- ney. aided by the government insanity experts, Dr. Smith Ely Jellffe of New
 York and pr. Edward s. Brush of Bal | timore
 Dr. Barton proved to be a good wit
 ness for the defense. His testimony showing his conclusions as 10 Mrs. Brad l ey's insanity was unshaken. The deten- dant came into court today looking pale l and haggard evidently in anticipation | that. after all, the question of her sanity | or insanity at the time of the commis-
 sion of the act was the paramount issue l in the case. While at times she exhibited | the lxeenest interest in all that was said | she generally seemed in d condition oi mental dejeetion
