WISCONSIN LEGISLATURE

Madison, June .12-The morning
session Of the senate ended with a
djS@3ssion on the bill to require rail-
road companies in certain cases to
condemn right Of way for spurs or
side tracks. 1t was ordered to a
third reading. The afternoon session
was devoted almost entirely to dis
cussion of the bill permitting heirs of
any person killed by accident to re-
cover from those responsible for the
accident, up to the limit of $4,000.
The present limit is $4,000. The bill
was reported by the committee on
judiciary with a recommendation that
this feature be not included in the
law. The assembly, as explained by
Senator Browne, passed a bill re
moving all limit to the amount that
might be recovered in case of acct
dental death. The $4,000 PROPOSE
ton was in the form of an amendment
by Senator Browne, and it was adopt
ed by a vote Of IA to II. The bill
was then ordered to a third reading
by vote of II to 10. The commit
tee on villages and cities reported in
favor of non-interference with the
exclusive franchise Of the Milwaukee
Gas Light company, recommending
the assembly bill for Inconvenience
and the senate bill for indefinite post
ponement. The bills proposed to cut
out Of the franchise the word ''ex-
elusive" The request of the state
geological and natural history survey
for $4,000 annually for work on high
way building was the subject of de-
bate Of much spirit. The claims conf
mittee reported IL favor of $4,000 for
this purpose but Senator Brown Of
fered an amendment to make the
amount $4,000. Senator Burns de
Tended the action of the committee, of.
which he is chairman, and Senators
Browne and Hardwood spoke in IA
vor OF the larger amount. Senator
Hudnan objected to both the bill and

BeIoit Citizens and Saloonkeepers
Break Even With the Council

Beloit, Wis, June 19.-The Beloit
common council was besieged by
large delegations both OF the temper
ance people and saloon men of the
city. The aldermen, dividing their ia

people, making proprietors liable for
all acts of the bartender; making it
a license condition that the Hcensee
shall have been a resident Of the city
for at least six months before final
application and limiting the number
of saloons to thirty-one. Then the
council passed an ordinance proposed
by the saloonkeepers, allowing them
TO keep their places open on Satur-
day nights until II o'clock instead of

first drawn from the coast to the

IA. 1894. But nothing could be more
vague or more fruitful Of misunder-

the arbitrary line might be replaced
later on by "a frontier corresponding
to the configuration Of the country.

Madison, June 18.-Women sui
frage in Wisconsin will be an issue in
the fall election of 1908 if the bill by
Senator Stout which was ordered to
a third reading by the senate becomes
a law. After a few remarks by
Senator Stout, a roll-call was taken
which resulted in vote of 13 to Is.
Senator Wilcox was in the chair, but
President ConnOr was called who
decided the passage of the measure
by voting in the affirmative. The San
born bill for a better divorce law
was passed. The assembly bill to
abolish the state board of control was
killed. The Ainsworth bill for a

Madison, June 1.-THE public util

commission jurisdiction over public
utilities, was on the senate calendar
but was laid over until Thursday
Senator Husting offered an amend
ment to give common councils instead
of the rate commission the power OF
regulation.
The assembly killed the bill giving
Ito the state the right of appeal in
criminal cases on questions Of law
and legal technicalities. An effort
was made by Assemblyman Ingram
chairman of the judiciary committee
to save this bill by rereferring it to
his committee. but his motion was
lost and the bill nOn-cOncurred in. The
bill defining usury and providing a
punishment therefore was ordered to
a third reading, although it had been
reported Off inconvenience by the
committee on judiciary. The bill to
appropriate $4,000 for a new normal
school building at La Crosse was or
dered to a third reading. as were also
the bills for an investigation as to the
ACCESSIBILITY of establishing state parks
at Belmont the site Of the territorial
capitol, and the Egg Harbor district in

MATURE FAKERs AND FACTS.

And now comes the Rev. Theodore
Wood, probably the leading English
naturalist. and corroborates one OF the
principal stories of DR.. Long which
was denounced by Roosevelt as a fake
of the worst sort. Roosevelt cited as
a deliberate invention" Longs report
of a woodcock which made a kind of
mud splint for its broken leg. DR..
Wood. with gentle sarcasm, suggests
that the presidency OF itself hardly
qualities any man to deliver judgment
on questions of natural history, and
proceeds as follows:
Notwithstanding the scorn which he
pours upon the assertion, think there
can be little doubt that snipe, at any
rate, understand the art of binding
u a broken limb by means of splint.
Statements TO that effect have been
made by many naturalists and sports
men. and NJ. Fatios observations on
the subject were brought some time
back before the Physiological society
at Geneva. On two occasions NJ. Fa-
ito had seen snipe with interviewer
feathers strapped on the seat of the
fracture of one of the legs. A most
interesting case was that of snipe,
both of whose legs he had unfortun-
ately broken by a misdirected shot He
only recovered the bird the following
day, when he found that the poor
creature had contrived to apply dress
ings and a sort of splint to both limbs.
In carrying out this operation some
feathers had become entangled around
its beak, and not being able to use its
claws to get rid of them, the bird was

ADJUSTMENTS TODAY.
PLEA FOB The coNsPIRAToRs.

One Of the arguments advanced Sc
riously against discussion of the COM
bination of tradesmen TO charge exor-
bitant prices for food supplies here is
that agitation will injure the city and
prevent intended residents from COM
ing here to live. The argument is
worth considering as seriously as it is
advanced.
On that ground any conspiracy in
violation of law which included a large
part of any class in the community
could ask immunity from prosecution
or exposure. Every civic boodler, every
corrupt public official could make the
same plea; it is the common defense
of the criminal everywhere that public
ity will hurt the community.
Possibly the agitation begun by the
Real Estate association and endorsed
by all but the conspirators may injure
the city temporarily, though even that
is debatable. But, if it does. shall the
clearly illegal combination escape be-
cause of the cowardly plea raised in its
behalf?
Isn't the ultimate end, the protec-
ton of a whole city from robbery,
worth all it may cost for the time
being?
Is prosecution of these men likely to
hurt Salt Lake more than the knowl-
edge that every citizen, old or new, is
at the mercy of rapacious tradesmen
combined for spoliation of the people
of every class?
Wouldn't it be an inducement for a
stranger to come here if it became
known that the public spirit, the intel
ligent opinion of the people is strong
enough to compel honest, decent deal
ing in business and punish malefactors
of any class?
The proposition seems so clear that
it ought to need no prolonged discus
sion. The population of Salt Lake has
been and is now being victimized by a
combination which is in plain violation
of the statute and of common business
morality. Unless the people and their
elected protectors are willing to sub
nit to the imposition of exorbitant
prices and confess that they are help
less in a big emergency, there Will be
no cessation of the discussion until
the conspirators have been prosecuted
or have voluntarily abandoned their
illegal practices.
The Real Estate association has pop
uIar sentiment behind it, and IL prose-
cution is necessary the prosecutors
will find backing enough to warrant
them in fighting the local trust to ex-
tinctiOn.

almost dead from hunger when found"
In view of the fact that the English
man has written authoritative books
on his subject and produces eminent
men in confederation of his facts, one
is inclined TO think that possibly he
knows almost as much about birds as
the president, and that perhaps Dr..
Long was right in intimating that the
presidential knowledge on the question
was only half-baked.
