FORCE PREMIUMS DOWN.
No Payment by Policy Holders for Ex-
travagance Is Slogan of State In
vestigating Committee.

MADISON, Wis, April 16.--[Spe-
! cial. 1.-The insurance bills, prepared ac-
cording to recommendations of the legis-
lative investigating committee, will take
their final form this week or next, when
the last hearings will be held.
James w. Glover, professor of mathe-
imatics and insurance in the University
of Michigan, who was the counseling ac-
tuary Of the Wisconsin legislative in
vestigating committee, and who assisted
in the preparation of the report made
! last fall, says the joint committee is
! disposed to stand by the recommended
tons of the Investigating committee in
/ demanding that a limitation be placed
upon premiums.
Investigations Of the various commit
tees have shown that the companies have
collected more than is necessary to trans
act business in the way of premiums"
said Prof. Glover today. There are
various evidences of this overcollection
The amount of undistribuled circulars
held by companies doing business in Wis
consin is in excess of $3.50, 100000.
The recommendations provide a re-
duction of only 81 to $40 on policies
above the rates now charged. The sug-
geStiOnS are not radical. The bill will,
however, interfere with the collections of
premiums for eXtravagant purposes. The
companies have contended that such
bill should not be passed, that to limit
premiums is wrong in principle. 1t ap-
pears, however, that competition alone in
; the past has not effected reduction and
there is no guarantee that it will do so
in the future"

BANK DEFENDS WITH PUTER.
civil Action Over Sale Of Duplicate Land
Script in Wisconsin.

APPLETON, Wis, April 13.-Testi-
mony in a civil action begun in Douglas
county Oregon, was taken before United
States Court Commissioner A. H. KEEL
logg here, w. H. Richardson and Charles
G.. Foster, of Oregon, being the plaintiffs
and s. A. D. Puter, George Baldwin, the
Commercial National Bank Of Appleton
and G.. S. Dickinson, the defendants.
The action arises from the sale OF
school land certificates by S. A. D.
Puter to George Baldwin of this city.
The certificates, as far as known, were
the original ones, there being twenty
one of them, 6720 acres of land being
involved in the deal
Subsequently Puter is alleged to have
sold duplicate certificates to the plain
tiffs.
When Richardson and Foster attempt
ed to secure deeds on their certificates
in Oregon they learned that Mr.. Bald
win held the original certificates. The
action was brought to obtain a lien on
the lands for the amount of money
they loaned Puter on the certificates.
The school land is worth from So to
$6.25 an acre.
The Commercial bank of this city and
C. S. Dickinson, cashier, are made CO.
defendants in the case on the SUPPOSE
ton that money was loaned to Mr.. Bald
win, the certificates being taken as col
lateral.
Attorney G. NJ Hazelton of NIilwau-
kee, formerly United States district at
torney, appeared for the plaintiffs while
Paul Y. Cary of this city represented

TO BOLT OLD DANCE BAN.
Kaukauna Will Hold Party at Night for
First Time Since Priests Order in
1837-Storm Ahead.

KAUKAUNA, Wis, April 13.-[Spe-
cial. 1.-The time honored custom of hold
ing all social dancing parties during the
day in the parish of st. John at Little
Chute promises soon to be rudely shat
tered by some of the dance hall owners
and a number of the young folks who
were consulted in regard to the mat
ter.
Since 1887, when Father T. ]. Van
denbrock, the first pioneer priest of the
Fox river valley, set up, an altar in
a rude Indian wigwam of the Menom-
once tribe, this custom of no evening
dances has been rigidly enforced.
A few days ago Joseph Van Camp,
who owns one of the leading dance halls,
announced that he would hold an even
ing dance April II. This Mr.. Van
Camp decided after an understanding
with the young people.
1t is claimed by the local priest that
the help of Bishop J. J. Fox of the
Green Bay diocese will be enlisted should
his order be violated.

Conference-Reporter Excluded
from Sessions.

LONDON, April 15.-The fourth con-
ference between the premiers of Great
Britain's self governing colonies and the
British colonial secretary was opened
under the presidence of Earl of Elgin,
secretary of state for the colonies. Re
porters are not admitted.
Premier Campbell-Bannerman out
lined the subjects for discussion, such as
preferential trade between the. colonies
and Great Britain and among the colon
les themselves, a project providing for
a permanent council, imperial defense
schemes and emigration, with minor
questions like penny postage, naturaliza-
ton and patent laws: The premier earn earn
estly expressed the hope that the delib-
erations would have useful results.
Premier Campbell-Bannerman touched
lightly on the subject of tariff prefer
ences, which is the most important mat
ter to come before the conference, and
on which it is hoped an agreement may
be reached.

Evidence that the spelling reform move

fifty years ago the subject was under
discussion and steps taken by Ripon

Western Times, a Ripon newspaper,
December II, 1857.

BAIL FOR ALLEGED MURDERER.
Man Held for Staying Brother in-Law
with Iron Cuspidor Released.

GRAND RAPIDS, Wis, April 10
who is charged with the murder of his
brother-in-law, Julian Marth, in that vii
Iage on the night of February II, has
lust been released on $4,000 bail, pending
his trial. At the time of his arrest the
feeling against Neunfeldt ran high, but
since the alleged facts have become fully
known there is much popular sympathy
shown. Neunfeldt is held for having
struck Marth over the head with an iron
cuspidor, but the wound was not con-
sidered fatal until several hours later,
when Marth suddenly expired. Self-de-
tense will be pleaded by Neunfeldts at
tOrneYS.

CANAL READY BY 10 5.
Former Chairman of Isthmian Commits
sion Says Ditch Will Cost More
Than $40, 100000.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 10
'"There is no reason on earth except war,
or pestilence, or a stoppage of funds,
why the Panama canal should not be in
operation and entirely completed by Jan
uary /, 1915"
John F. Stevens, who retired April
from the craftsmanship of the isthmian
canal commission, made this statement
at his home this afternoon.
Everything is in fine condition on the
isthmus," he said in response to ques-
ton. II never would have left the work
if had not been satisfied it was in ex-
cellent shape. My retirement is not
matter for Encouragement.
'"The sanitary condition of the canal
zone is fine. Indeed, it could hardly be
better. There has been no yellow fever
since a year ago last December. Nobody
thinks of this disease now"
Mr.. Stevens said the labor question IS
in satisfactory shape. There are plenty
of skilled white men available. About
1900 laborers from north Spain are en-
ployed, and from 500 to 1000 arrive ev
cry month. The number of blacks en-
ployed ranges from $4,000 to $4,000.
There is an inexhaustible supply of this
labor. The negroes come and go, in
many cases working about six months
and then returning to their homes to
spend the money earned. Mr.. Stevens
does not believe more than 10000 work
men will be required, even when the con-
struction work is going ahead at the
utmost limit.
All doubt as to the feasibility of the
lock type of canal adopted some months
ago has been removed by investigation.
Mr. Stevens made one statement which
will be hailed with satisfaction by the
American people That is, the canal will
not cost more than $14O,00O,OOO estimat-
n NV ho hoard of consulting pnplDo6rS
which advocated the adoption of the lock

en- thief with a conscience returned ten
chickens he stole from the coop of Harry

there still being eight in the coop.
Mr.. Bodemer had no clue to the theft

then when he visited the coop for he
found his stolen chickens, as everyone
of them had been returned.
1t is said the thief's motive may have
been to secure a setting of eggs.

THE FAST DIXIE WINS
DELWAR SHIELD TROPHY

New Worlds Record.

the motor-boat regatta here to-day, the
Dixie. Commodore e. Schroeders racer,
in the mile trials. drove the mile in
two minutes and twenty seconds easily
winning the Sir Thomas r. Dewar shield
trophy. Unless the official figures, not
yet computed, alter the result, a new
worlds record is undoubtedly established.
The second event of the day, a special
five-nile race for the speedler boats, was
won by the Dixie, the scratch boat, with
the Camden racer, the Swallow. only a
length behind the winner. The finish in
this event was the best that has yet
marked the regatta.
The third event consolation race.
open to boats not winning a first place
in previous events, was won by the Gray
Wolf.
The fourth event. 2o-mile endurance
run for the Wanamaker Cup, was again
won by the Dixie.
This closed the regatta. The reproduc-
ton Of tho midnight carnival Of Venice
marked the close from q social stand
point tonight.
The Catherine. one of the boats sunk
in the collision of Wednesday. was on the
lake again to-day and competed in the
mile trials.
At midnight tonight the regattn com
nlittee announced that the DiXie's fastest
mile this morning was 2:2t31 mean cor
rected time for all trials. Distance IS n
nautical mile. This breaks the worlds
record,
