RELIEF IN MONOPOLY.
Senator Hudnan Points to Failure Of
Competition to Settle Public
Utilities Question.

BARNEVELD, Wis, Feb. 2.-Senator
George B. Hudnall of Superior delivered
an address here last night before an au-
dience which completely filled the hall
and he addressed himself to the subject
of the control of public utilities III Wis
consin.
AS an argument seeking to establish
the fullest measure of state control, Sen
ator Hudnall calls attention to dangers.
He takes the view that with the power
Of state regulation should go protection
of the corporations in the enjoyment of
their franchise rights. as controlled and
regulated, without Unnecessary cOmpeti-
ton, the effect of which is to impose an
additional burden upon the people and
by dividing the earning capacity of the
corporations. In other words, Senator
Hudnall inclines to the view that what
amounts to Il monopoly, under strict
state control, will afford relief, when
competition will utterly fail to result in
the relief demanded

MURDER BY INSPIRATION
INSANITY EXPERTS SAY DAN NJ
MAHON THOUGHT IT HIS DUTY.
Told Them Christ Ordered Him to Kill
Thomas Connors and to "FiniSh
Him Then"

WAUKESHA, Wis, Feb. 2.-[Spe-
cial. THAT Dan McMahon was suffer
ing from the insane delusion that Christ
told him he must kill Thomas Connors
when he shot the latter TO death, De
cember 4, was the contention Of the
defense in the McMahon murder trial
yesterday.
In support of this the testimony of
several insanity experts was taken. Dr..
Walter Hempster of Milwaukee testi-
fed to examining Mcmahon who he
said he found suffering from chronic
mania,' and would not recover. Nc
Mahon told him he heard the voice OF
Jesus Christ tell him to kill and that
he believed his act was a righteous one.
The opinion that McMahon is incurably
insane was cOncurred in by DIR. X: NJ.
Mover of Chicago, DR.. Capen of Madl-
SOL. and Dr.. Hugo Philler of this city,
all sworn as experts. DR.. Philler testl-
fed that he asked McMahOn why he
fired the second and third shots when
Connors was fleeing from him and that
he replied voice told him he must
finish him then" DR.. Capen gave sim
liar testimony and said that while Nc
Mah0n had some of the marks OF de-
generacy they were not sufficiently pro-
nounced to warrant his classification as
Il degenerate.
With the completion of the cross-eX-
dIIlldllDI VI tue Ga DtLtS ny DlSLliII 81
torney MucklestOn, the defense rested
on the insanity issue and Mr.. Muckles-
ton made his opening address for the
state which was his maiden effort as
prosecuting attorney. Deputy Sheriff
Palmer. who arrested McMahon, re-
lated the story of the trouble between
the two men and the shooting as told
him by Connors, q concise, connected
and comprehensive statement. he said.
He had never considered McMahon in
sane and noticed nothing unusual about
him. Two neighbors of the defendant
testified they had never considered him
insane. He was shrewd business man.
McMahon had served as a member of
the committee that built the new school
house in his district.
Former Sheriff Kunz testified this
morning that while he had the defendant
in his custody he never observed any
, signs of insanity either in his manner OF
speech. \ farm hand who was en-
ployed by McMahon in 1905 testified
that he asked the defendant why he did
mot have COnnors help him and that
McMahOn said: IF that - ever comes
on my place he will never leave it alive. :
Several ncighbors of the defendant in
Guiding Herman Ireland Christ Kent,
Louis Snyder and Michael COnnors, q
brother of the murdered man, had known
the defendant for years and always sup
posed he was sane. He was rational
when member of the school building
committee. The defense was exceedingly
brief in the cross-eXaminatiOn OF these
witnesses.

A Measure That Should Be Defeated.

From every part Of the United States
there arises protest against the recon-
mcndations of the joint commission au-
thorized by Congress to make an inquiry
concerning SccOnd-claSS mail matter. The
Evening Wisconsin has lntimatCd its
opinion that the bill whose enactment
the commission recommends is a measure
that should not pass. 1t returns to the
subject for the purpose of clearly i'm
pressing the objections to the bill upon
the minds Of members of the Wisconsin
delegation in Congress.
Reputable newspaper publishers do not
desire to have their publications carried
in the mails at Il loss to the government;
but they very StrenOuSly object to IeglS-
latiOn which would authorize officials to
interfere with details Of the publication
business which in free countries from
their very nature always have been and
always should he settled in the office Of
publication, by the persons concerned in
the enterprise Of publishing. They OBJ
ject to being restricted as to the paper
they shall use in printing: they object
to being deharred from placing a portion
of their advertising in the supplement
if they deem that arrangement best.
They object to unreasonable dictation
the authorization Of which would be
peculiarly liable to open the door for
discrimination and oppression.
While opposition to the proposed law
is general on the part of the press OF
the country, some of the strongest ObjCc-
lions have appeared il Wisconsin news
papers. Not only the seven hundred
newspapers in Wisconsin would be inju-
riousiy affected by the law. but heavy
blow would be struck at the vast paper
industry Of the state.
Every member Of the Wisconsin dele

NERVOUS HEADACHES

Most Gases and Should Interest
Every Sufferer.

Every Sufferer
Nobody who has not endured the
suffering caused by nervous head
ache can realize the awful agony of
its victims. Worst of all, the orriin-
airy treatment cannot be relied upon
to cure nor even to give relief Some
doctors will say that if a person is
subject TO these headaches there is
nothing that can be done TO prevent
their recurrence.
Nervous headaches, as well as neu-
ralgia, are caused by lack of nutrition
the nerves are starved. The only
way to feed the nerves is through the
blood and it is in this way that DR..
Williams Pink Pills have accom-
plished so many remarkable cures.
Mrs hddie Merrill, Of 80 Union
Street, Auburn, Me, says: For
years ! suffered from nervous mead
aches, which would come on me every
five or six weeks and continue for
several lays The pain was so severe
that / would be obliged to 80 to bed
for three or four days each time tt
was particularly intense over my right
eye I tried medicines but got no re
lief mad no appetite and when
the headache passed away felt as if
| had been sick for a month. My
blood was thin and I was pale, weak
and reduced in weight.
