81 years old, is politician of the

able, fearless and a fighter OF the
first magnitude
He is recogniz ID by friend and
foe as one of the few deep thinkers
in the assembly. He works hard to

al times has stood uncompromising
ly for the plans to regulate and con-

Whitehall gives promise OF being
one of Wise 'nsin's big men in poll

When Ekern came to Madison to
tend the stat univ rsity he was
typical Norwegian boy of the coun-

green. He was graduated from Il e

CAPTAIN O'Neil Talks.

William O'Neil, of this city su-
perintendent of logging on the
Chippewa reservations, where
large operations are being con-
Quoted, was home yesterday.
He says that the cut on the re-
servations will be much less than
was estimated for the winter
last fall, when preparations were
being made.
ST would say that the cut on
the reservations will be 80 per
cent less than the estimates, "
said Mr.. O'Neil. s..The shortage
OF the log cropin the reservation
is due to q com bination of causes
In the first place there was a
scarcity of men. Then there is
too much snow and it come SO
early that the frost did not have
time to penetrate the groun q and
freeze the lakes over. The teams
are not hauling the loads that
they would under good conditions
Yes. it is a bad winter for tie
Iloggers and lumberman on the
reservation. The purchasers OF
the tim Der have asked for an ex
tension of time for removing the
timber, and under the circum-
| stances they are very sanguine
of it being granted"

To the Public:-There appears

Certain persons have, for rea.

to mislead the public, apparent

those whose violations of law are
most fragrant.

association plainly indicate, that
laws and ordinances are made
to be respected and enforced,
and We as body respect 'he
will of the people as expressed
in these laws and ordinances.
We believe, as we expressed it
to the town board at their recent
meeting, that there are infrac-
tions of the law and ordinances,
that must be apparent to all,
and that these upon which we
can all agree shoul be the first
to be remedied.
One thing at time, and when
this is accomplished, the other
violations working to the injury
of our com munity should be set

wait upon the town board. PLAIN

could discriminate between a
tote team coming in from some
lumber camp on Sunday for

RuMoR WITHOUT FOUNDATION
ITALIAN AMBASSADOR DENIES
INTENTION TO RESIGN.
Says That the Report Originated Two
Years Ago When He Left This
Country With Impaired Health.

Baron Mayor des Planches, the Italian
ambassador, in an authorized interview
this morning with a Star representative.
stated that the current rumors as to his
oft-heralded resignation from his post In
this city are absolutely without founda ton.
He added that most of the talk concerning
him and his movements was based upon
mere supposition. In the interview Baron
Mayor spoke of his movements in the near
future so far planned, but explained
that they are subject to change.
THE rumor of my resignation the am
bassador said probably originated two
years ago, when 1 left the United States
not In the best of health, and my one pur-
post was to regain In Italy MY lost
strength. At that time my friends declared
that in their belief l was not going to re-
turn to Washington; yet they were not
much wrong, because 1 myself was not
very sure of returning But, you see, L
did come back, after ALL feeling entirely
like myself once more. Not only came
back, but ] am going away again with the
firm belief of returning in the fall.
His Western Trip.
Speaking of his intended trip throughout
the western states, about which much has
been written, and little of it correctly, Ba-
ron Mayor said that it is his intention to
visit California some time next month.
Having received an invitation from the San
Francisco chamber of commerce, his org
inal plan was to visit that city on the 18th
instant, the anniversary of the great fire,
SO that he could have an opportunity to in
spect the new Italian colony quarters, but
his visit has been postponed on account
of the opening Of the jamestown exposition.
III l had gone there sooner" the am
bassador stated. Il would not have had a
good opportunity to visit some of the Cali
fornia Italian colonies, or those which
l might pass my way to the west, such
as that at Cleveland or Cincinnati l dom
| like to travel like a letter on such occa-
sions; that is to say, to go and return
Immediately. AS l have to meet the Duke
of AbruZzi when he arrives at jamestown,
| l thought it best to put off my visiting
junket for a time
The duke will reach Chesapeake bay next
week. it is believed, and is In charge of
the three Italian warships sent to take part
in the naval pageant. AS the formal cere-
monies attendant upon his arrival will keep
the ambassad busy with the duke, the
baron may not be able to go to San Fran
cisco much before the 18th or the 10th of
next month. Returning by easy stages and
stopping in several of the larger cities, he
will go to New York and thence sail for
Italy, where he will summer.
