MINNESOTA LAW ATTACKED.
Shippers of the Dakotas Cheated by
Grain Inspector.

The Wisconsin railroad commission
finished its hearing in Superior and
the members went back to Madison.
The most important case heard by the
commission was the one charging the
Great Northern and Omaha railroads
with discrimination against Superior
shippers and grain men by leasing
their elevators and thus turning them
into private houses.
A large amount of evidence was
taken on this question and the attor-
neys for the roads will be given a
chance to put in their testimony at
Madison May 2. ALI of the evidence
offered by the Superior people was
along the same general lines. 1t told
of the hardships worked on the Supe
rior commission men by making the
elevators private houses, as it gave
them no place to store their grain and
forced them to either go out of bust
ness or move to Duluth Some of the
most important testimony of the hear
ing was given by w. E. MacFadden
the North Dakota members of the
Wisconsin grain and warehouse com
mission He told how the shippers in
the Dakotas are defrauded and cheat
ed by the Minnesota inspection, and
how anxious they are for Wisconsin in
spection also for public house 10
store their grain. He referred to Hills
offer to lease the Dakota people his ell
evator at this point and stated that q
meeting will be held at Fargo next
week to decide on this question.
What the Superior men hope to get
as a result of this hearing is to have
the commission decide it has juris
diction over terminal railroad proprer
ty and order the roads to open their
elevators to the general public. If this
is done it will practically settle the
famous grain fight in favor of the Su
perior people.

The State Day by Day
ERRORS, SAYS VAN HIsE.

Report of University Shortage Due to
Bookkeeping Method.
Bookkeeping errors are responsible
for the report there is a 100000 dis
crepancy in the University of Wiscon-
sin accounts, declared President Van
Hise in statement issued last week
Regents Carry, Swenson and Hanks
subscribe to Mr.. Van Hise's explana-
ton
largely paid for out of current
caused by the resignation of Edward
F. Riley, secretary of the board of re-
gents. III health was given as the
cause. Resolutions of regret were
adopted. M. E. Mccartney was elected
to succeed him. The salary is $4,000.
President Van Hise's statement fol-
lows:
"In reply to your question as to
whether there has been misappropria-
ton of funds in the secretary's office
of the university, 1 have to say there
has been no misrepresentation nor has
there been charge or even suspicion
of misrepresentation by any one in the
secretary's Office. Recently the re-
gents asked advice of an expert ac-
countant as to some. points in.the sys-
tenn Of bookkeeping. Doubtless the
basis of the entire story as to misap-
preparation is due to the fact that the
expert recommended different classi-
fication of different items than that
used by the secretary.
Certain expenditures for books, ap-
paratus, ETC., have been charged to
largely paid for out of the current
current expenditures. Such items are
income. The expert thinks that all
such items, being in the nature Of per-
manent property should be placed in
the capital account of the university,
whether paid for out of the current or
special appropriations. There was no
suggestion or suspicion that any arti-
Gle was paid for out of a fund not
properly appropriated for the purpose
In short, the whole matter concerns
the method of keeping books"

UNIVERSITY GETS STRONG MEN
New Professors Distinguished as
Teachers and Investigators.

Teachers and investigators.
The faculty OF the University of Wis
consin in it's several departments and
colleges has been materially strength
ened by the new appointments and
promotions. The election of Prof.
John w. Cunliffe of Cambridge univer-
sity to the chair of English literature,
and the promotions in the English de-
partment, give that department three
professors, one associate professor and
six assistant professors. The addition
of Mr.. C. II. Halves of Cambridge uni
versity as a lecturer in anthropology
provides for work in that important
subject In mineralogy the addition OF
Prof. A. H. Minchell, now of the Mon
tana school of mines, makes that de-
partment unusually strong, with Profs.
C. K. Leith and n M. Fenneman in ad-
dition to President Van Hise. The
election of Prof Russell to the porsl-
ton of dean OF the colleae OF agr1cui-
ture is generally considered an excel
lent one, since Prof. Russell has been
connected with the college of agricul-
ture for fourteen years and is thor
oughly familiar with agricultural con-
ditions in Wisconsin.
DR.. John w Cunliffe, who was ap.
pointed professor of English literature,
is at present associate professor OF

ton to studies in bacteriology, which
he continued in Koch's laboratories at

Strangest of all, the saloon men are

At a meeting of the saloon men an
agreement was signed whereby they
all agree to obey the state and city
laws governing their business, closing
at the prescribed time in the evening
and keeping closed all day Sunday.
Just what caused this spasm OF viz
tue is not known, but perhaps the tact
that the recently elected council an
nounced it's intention of enforcing the
law had something to do with it. The
saloon men, it is reported, also agreed
to raise the price of beer.A
The outcome of the closing agree
ment will be watched with some con
siderable interest, particularly so as
one clause of the agreement calls FOR
the observance of law by other bush
nes smen.

WITH THE LAWMAKERS
Work Accomplished by the State Legislators.

The committee on state affairs re-
ported a substitute for the Thomas bill
creating a state board of immigration.
The substitute is practically the same
as the original except that the annual
expenditures of the board are to be
limited to $1,000. The board is to
consist of the secretary of state, com
missioner of labor and industrial sta
tistics, and chief clerk Of the state
land Office. The report of the commit
tee was unanimous.
The committee on state affairs re-
ported substitute for the Thomas bill
regulating the driving of automobiles.
It requires that each machine shall
carry it's number on it's front and rear
and that in the day time the maximum
speed limit in cities and villages shall
be ten miles an hour and in the rural
districts twenty miles an hour and not
to exceed ten miles an hour In botn
urban and suburban districts at night.
It also increases the penalty for viola
tions of the act. The bill will be Wig
orously fought by the automobiles OF
Milwaukee and the interior OF the
state.
The committee on cities favorably
reported the Hebron bill empowering
the city of Milwaukee to acquire land
by condemnation proceedings for the
use of railroads desiring to enter that
city. The city is to lease the land
to the roads after it has secured.
