CLEARING AWAY BILLS FOR
FINAL ACTION.
NEW MEASURES IN SENATE
Fish and Game Bills Aiming to Reg
ulate Fishing in Interstate Waters
judiciary Committee Proposes
Death for a Batch of Suggested
Statutes.
Madison. April /

Madison, April II.
Committee work is going on not
withstanding the excitement incident
to the election of a United States
senator. Senate Committees reported
yesterday AFTERNOON SO voluminously
as to indicate they they are seeking
to clear away business as fast as pos
sible.
Most of the measures reported upon
were recommended for killing or re.
ference to other committees. The
committee on villages and cities re-
ported the bIIl providing for char
ter convention in Milwaukee, for re-
ference to the committee on judiciary
to examine legal and constitutional
points said to be involved. The judi
ciary committee reported a number
of bills for indefinite postponemenr
being measures of insignificant i'm
portance, without merit in the judg
ment of the committee Or duplica-
tons of other pending bills
Several new bills were introduced
by the committee on fish and game,
to regulate fishing on Lakes Pepln.
and ST. Croix and the Mississippi
river, and relating to the disposition
of confiscated nsh and game.
The senate played horse at the
close of the session by voting down
q motion to adjourn after the desk
of the chief clerk had been cleared
of business. Upon the renewal of the
motion Senator Durns made the point
of order that after the motion to ad
journ had been defeated it is not
again in order until some business
has geen transacted. The point was
sustained by President Conner and
there seemed TO be nothing to do bun
wait for some business to develop
Senator Smith relieved the situation
by asking and receiving leave of alb
senee, and the way was cleared for
the motion to adjourn which then
carried.

The pecadence of WALKING.

All classes nowadays, ride where
they would have walked few years
ago, and it can hardly be said that
they are better for it. We are athletic
in our way, but when all is said and
done nothing keeps men and women
alike in better condition than a walk
briskly and regularl in the open air
yet every year finds us less and less
inclined to do so, or, rather, with
more temptations not to do so.-Lad-

The Elver bill to limit the hours Of
employment of street car operators to
ten hours day, to be performed with
in IL consecutive hours, came from
the assembly and by request of Sen
ator Roehr was referred to the COM
mittee on judiciary, because he said
there is a legal qeustion involved.
Later in the session Senator Froem-
ming raised objections to this refer
.ences, seeming to smell an attempt to
kill the bill. He said that similar
bills were being considered by the
committee ON manufacturers and la
Dor and this ought to go there with
the others. Although Senator Roehr
stood his ground in favor of the refer
ence to the judiciary committee, Sen
ator F'roemming prevailed
The memorial to congress in favor
of a ship canal from Lake Michigan
to the Mississippi river was laid
over.
The Domachowski bill to forbid
smoking cigarets by boys under 10

waukee library bill was concurred in.
Notwithstanding the opposition of
Senator Froemming, the Roehr bill to
instead of $25 month was passed.

A CHANGE OF VENUE
The Attorneys Defending the Untried
Italians Will Ask for a Transfer and
Shreveport May Be Named as the
Place to Hold the Triel

Referring to the trial of Leonardo and
Nico.ina Gebbia, the brother and the
sister, who have been indicted Jointly
on the charge of murder their victim
being Walter Lamana, the staff special
to the Times Democrat says:
1t is regarded as a foregone conclu-
sion that the first motion of J. Q. Flynn,
attorney for the defense. will be to ask
for change of venue He is said to
have made statement to that effect to-
day in New Orleans, which was COM
municated by telephone to the authori-
ties here. 1t was stated at the same
time that Flynn would ask that the case
be continued to a time three or four
months hence, in order that the district
attorney in the parish in which he hopes
to have it tried will have ample time to
study the evidence. Mr.. Flynn said that
he thought this was the only way to Sc
cure fair and impartial trial for his
clients in this State. He said that all
clenency which had been extended to
Campigcianoy his wife, Tony Costa and
Colligiro Gendusa that it would be GER
tain to affect the public mind to such a
degree in the other parishes that it
would be impossible to secure compe-
tent jurors.
1t is not known to what parish Mr..
Flynn will ask the case transferred, but
IT is rumored that Caddo parish will be
the one, since it is the most remote
from the scene of the crime, and the
sentiment there would be less liable to
prejudice jurors against the indicted
persons The case would then be tried
in Shreveport. 1t is claimed that the al
legged criminals attorney has said that
he liked Shreveport as place to hold
the trial.
Leon Gebbia spent the day before his
trial in impotence He said that he
wanted the case to begin as soon as pos
sible and not to be delayed by difficult
ties in securing jury. He said that he
did not think it necessary to have
change of venue, as it would only delay
matters. He felt confident that he could
be tried here this week and acquitted
His sister, he said, felt the same way.
She would not discuss the matter ex-
cept to say that she did not see where
the district attorney had any case
against her. She had not said anything
which would incriminate her in the
slightest degree and she did not think
the officers could bring any witnesses to
show that she was guilty of the murder
Both prisoners rely upon an acquittal
for the Same reason that the jurors
failed to give Campisciana ct al, the
extreme penalty. They say that they
will not be convicted because no one can
be produced who will say that they were
seen taking part in any conspiracy to do
away with the child.

The Baton Rouge correspondent OF
the New Orleans Picayune says:
Governor Blanchard and Adjutan,
General Stafford will likely attend the
first hearing on Tuesday of the affidavit
to try Captain A. E. Josephson and
Lieutenant Castins of the Pelican Rifles
of Baton Rouge on the charge of assault
upon member of the company. AT
this time the case itself will not be taken
up, but whether or not the court has
jurisdiction to try the case. Governor
Blanchard, Adjutant General Stafford
and the other officials of the National
Guard of the State are taking great
interest in the matter, as it is the first
time that the question has been brought
squarely before the courts since the new
military laws went to effect. The Ma
tional Guard officers claim that the civil
courts of the State have no jurisdiction
over such an offense; that if the two
officers committed an assault upon a
member of the company, that it was
while the company was under orders,
while the men were under the command
of the officers. and that if they are an
swerable for any assault upon men,
Der of the company it is before court
martial and not before the civil courts.
The Governor and Adjutant General
both think this question involved is an
important one to the National Guard,
SO important in fact that special counsel
has been employed-Charles Holcombe
of Baton Rouge-to defend the two Of
fcers. and his fight will be against the
jurisdiction of the court. The National
Guard officers claim that if they can not
enforce order in their commands with
ont having officers brought up before
civil courts for trial, that it will be diff
ficult to maintain order in the command
The question of the jurisdiction of the
court is likely to be before the Supreme
Court of the State, as either side would
probably take an appeal to. that tribunal
on the question of jurisdiction, and have
the Supreme Court pass upon the legal
question presented. District Attorney
Wax, who will have charge of the pros
ecution. contends that the military is
subservient to the civil laws in the Unit
ed States during times Of peace, and on
this he expects to win his fight for the |
jnrisdietion Of the court in the cases:
