Old Controversy Rehashed.
Yesterday the controversy of the
Milwaukee normal site was threshed
over and rival real estate dealers
and others presented their claims
before the full board of normal
regents at the capitol. The board
heard patiently all the representa-
tions, but showed fatigue when self
ish interests became too apparent
and when the presentations of facts
came close to personal conflicts be-
tween the agents. On the whole the
meeting was void of anything new ex-
cept perhaps The speech of Robert G.,
Spencer, who wished to sell to the
board a s91 900 tract on the Milwo-
Bee river up on Humboldt avenue. He
frankly confessed that he was pc

thar the United States had any inten-

he had absolute confidence in the Fill
pinos, denied that he was disappointed
at their ability to legislate conserva-
lively, and asserted his belief that
they felt their responsibility and ac-
knowledged the necessity of support

chief activities of the assembly viii
be devoted to the enactment of mass

the United States court at Milwaukee,
was made known when Attorney A.
e. Buckmaster, representing the bank
rupt company, filed with the referee
in bankruptcy a full schedule of the
liabilities and assets of the company.
On paper it would appear that the
company was very close to solvent,
but the attorneys hold no elaborate
hopes to the creditors that they win
receive the full amount of the claims.
1t is said that the secured creditors
will receive the larger amount of the
money due them and that there will
be something to pay 70 the unsecured
creditors, but it is impossible to even
hazard a guess on the amount to be
paid them.
The schedule win show liabilities OF
S90,631.72 and assets of sos, 635.05.
This schedult of liabilities shows the
following unsecured claims:

Ia0lSOnI Ocl. H.
BY formal resolutions adopted at
the CT of the Milwaukee normal
site hearing yesterday, the board Of
normal school regents approved the
action of the executive committee and
resident regent, Theodore Kronshage,
Jr., in the selection of the Downer
avenue site, and also declared that the
Legislation of last winter upon this
subject is insufficient to enable the
board to confirm the conditional con
tract for the Allis site. The resolu-
ton concerning the Allis site was in
troduced by Regent G. d. Mcfarland
and adopted as follows.
Resolved that the board does
not deem that the legislation enacted
by the legislature of Wisconsin at its
1907 session in respect to the pur-
chase of site for normal school
buildings in Milwaukee sufficient TO
enable it to purchase the property for
which Mr.. J. A. Peacock, president,
and William Kittle, secretary of this
board made conditional contract on
behalf of said board with Sarah Z. b.
Allis, Helen f. B. Bartlett and Edwin
w. Bartlett, dated December q, 1906.
But on the contrary, this board con-
siders that the legislation which was
enacted by the legislature of 1907 ex-
pressly prevents the carrying out OF
said contract or the purchase of the
lands described therein
The resolution concerning the
Downer avenue site was offered by
Regent c. H. Crownhart and adopted
as follows:
Downer Site Approved.
Resolved that in the judgment of
this board the executive committee
and resident regent acted wisely and
for the best interest of the state in
the selection of the Downer avenue
site for the Milwaukee normal school;
that said committee are hereby direct
ed to complete the purchase of said
site under the terms proposed as soon
az nending litigation will permit of
the said purchase IN the judgment OF

LBY II. II. Rrn l,nA


 GLOBE, July 20.-The market opened with good tone, stocks holding quite strong during the short session of the day. While stocks were well held. there were comparatively few buying orders, and it was rather quite in general. Cop per stocks were exceptionally quiet. Old Dominion showed very little strength, also Utah Consolidated is be- ing hammered down by the bear ma nipulators.
 The general outlook of the market is quiet future and the summer dulness IS on. Stocks may drag along for weeks to come, as there is very little public interest in the market. and until this is present we may look for quiet period. Money matters are not alto gether free, although call money seems to remain down quite we'll Until the eongested condition of the bond market IS cleared money will be uncertain.
 We understand Superior & Boston is looking exceptionally well, and may look for rise in this stock in the face of tho call. Good ore has been eneount- cred and it looks like the mine will be an early shipper of good ores. The company expects to rush work on the shafts and take up operations in earn. est. We feel sure this stock is cheap and good buy. Globe. Arizona contin- ues active and the stock sells we'll at the advance price quoted
