Madison May ia new principal
was introduced in the senate when
Senator Burns of Platteville offered
an amendment to the Wisconsin
river reservoir bill providing that the
franchise rights and privileges pro
posed to be granted by the state to
the Wisconsin river Improvement cor
poration be granted instead to the
regents OF the University. He be-
lieved that it would be far wiser for
the state to give the regents the
work and give the advantages de-
rived to the university instead of to
"a private corporation. He said that
the corporation was organized with a
capital stock of 800 900 and this was
not so large a sum that the university
could not properly execute a plan TO
be handled with such an amount of
stock. He laid emphasis upon the
fact that the bill proposed to give
away valuable rights without com
pensation, and he declared that when
TIE state possessed an institution able
to take advantage OF such valuable
rights, it was best to give the ad-
vantage to the state institution rather
than to a private corporation. Sena-
tor Brazeau, one Of the sponsors of the
bill, acknowledged surprise that such
an amendment should be offered, de
claring that its adoption would De

Various other amendments were
offered. several by Senator Hudnall

William Irvine announced the arrival
Of the supreme court. A moment
later, the members and spectators
still standing, he announced the ar
rival of the senate, and then came
Governor Davidson and the other
state officers. Simple enough, yet
rather impressive in the dignity of the
professions of justices, the governor,
state officers and senators. There
were some simple decorations of

clerks desk, but aside from this the
only thing to mark the difference
between this ceremony and those

dignity of the regularly prescribed

interest, natural in such an historic
event.

At that moment a young woman appeared on the deck and stretched out her arms toward Paul, who was struggling with those who would detaln him. 1t was Virginia. A mighty pillow engulfed itself between the Isle of Amber and the coast. When lt had passed there was only mass of tangled wreckage where the great ship had been.
 Paul. breaking from those who held him, threw himself into the sea; but returning wave washed him back upon the beach, bruised, bloody and senseless.
