Eau Claire, Wis, April 2S.-William
Lowe of this city caught one of the
largest fish ever seen in this city. 1t
was some time before its species could
be determined. Some pronounced it Il
channel cat, others a red horse. some
a sturgeon and still others cross be-
tween a sword fish and German
carp. Finally a committee OF three
of the Oldest citizens after having
carefully adjusted their glasses de-
cided it was a side-hill gianther. This
is rare species of the finny tribe that
used to be caught during the time of
full moon by batting the hook with a
piece of red flannel and cheese rind,
1t is nearly ten years since the last
gianther was caught in this vicinity.

Finish Work in Allis- Chalmers
Shop in Milwaukee.

Milwaukee, April 25.-Men forced
their way into the pattern shop
of the West Allis 100000 plant
of the Allis-Chalmers company
early in the day and planned to
sprinkle the place with oil from a doz-
en- gallon cans. The scheme, appar-
emily, was to start fire by lighting
candle which would ignite the oil
when nearly burned out.
A match was dropped, however,
and the kerosene fired when only
three cans had been emptied. The
appearance of a Waterman frightened
the men away. The Wachman put
out the blaze. Two years ago molders
in the plant struck. Nonunion men
are at work now.

PLEADS FOR EXCLUSION
OF ASIATIC LABORERS
George B. Benham Compares
Conditions in Oriental Coun=
tries and United States

George B. Benham of the Asiatic ex-
clusion league addressed a large num-
Der Of the members of the Social sci
ence league last evening in Jefferson
Square hall on The Exclusion OF the
Asiatic" The speaker expressed him
self as being in favor of rigid exclusion
laws. The Japanese and Chinese Ia
boFer was discussed by Benham and
ture prosperity of the working men
and women of the United States was
dependent, to great. extent, upon the
exclusion of this class of orientals.
Another reason the speaker gave for
the exclusion of Asiatics was that the
standard Of living among the laborers
of the orient was not as high as that
of American laborers. Benham stated
that the Japanese recognized the dan
ger of allowing too many Chinese and
Hindus TO enter Japan and had laws
which prohibit the control of lucra-
tive industry by foreigners. The
speaker said that the United States
should make a similar law which
would guard the interests of the Amer
lean citizens and eliminate the neces-
sity. which exists now in certain lines
of work. of competing with the Jap
anese, Chinese and Hindu laborer.
The general condition Of the working
men and women in the United States
was spoken of by Benham and he also
compared the manner of living of the
Asiatics and the Americans. That the
audience agreed with the speaker was
manifested by the applause accorded
The meeting was presided over by
William Cook, who also made brief
address, in which he advocated the
enactment of rigid exclusion laws.
