SUPERIOR SUES
RATE COMMISSION
SEEKS TO ENJOlN THAT BODY
IN ITS ATTEMPT TO EN-
FORCE REGULATIONS.

An interesting legal point has been
raised by the city of Superior in a
suit against the state railroad COM
mission resulting from the commits
sion's order that the Douglas County
Telephone company cease to supply
telephone service free of charge to the
city Offices. The city is complainant
in the suit and the railroad commits
sion and telephone company are par
ties defendant The city granted the
company a franchise, among the
terms and conditions of which was an
obligation on the part of the company
to furnish the city telephone service
without charge. Now the railroad
commission has held that free service
is contrary to the public utilities law,
and the city makes the claim that the
franchise constituted valid contract,
the obligations of which the new
statute would impair If enforced. This
the city claims would be unconstitu-
tional, and an injunction is sought re-
straining the commission from enforc-
ing it's order. The writ is returnable
in the circuit court for Dane county
next Wednesday, November is.

DAIRY SCHOOL
BEGINS WORK
ENROLMENT SHOWS BUTTER
AND CHEESE MAKING COURSES
ARE POPULAR.

Madison, Nov Il.
With total registration of 1873 stu
dents, and more entering daily, the
dairy school of the University of Wis
consin, which opened last week, has
an enrolment which compares favor
ably with previous years. Some 43
students are studying cheese making,
rs butter making and 10 are taking
both courses The class is unusual in
that Ii students are from other states
Notwithstanding the extra tuition fees
for non-residents. There are two each
from Pennsylvania, Ohio and lndl'
ana; and 1 each from Michigan, Hi
nois, Nebraska, Minnesota and Mis-
sissippi. R. R. Welch, a graduate of
another agricultural college and for
some time junior dairyman for the
United States department of agricul1i
ture in the south, is here, on leave OF
absence, to better fit himself for his
work.
Some new equipment, including
combined churns, milk heaters, and
hand separators, is being installed to
afford facilities for student practice.
The cream and milk supply has been
increased by new routes at Middleton
and Fftchburg, in order to provide
adequate material for student work,
Cheesemaking will begin earlier in
the course than formerly and the in
struction in preparation of starters
has been improved. Students will
have an opportunity this year of at
tending the scoring exhibitions thus
getting a good idea of the quality OF
butter and cheese produced in the
state.

REQU|S|T|ON is
NOT HONORED
GOVERNOR DAVIDSON REFUSES
REQUEST OF GEORGIA
EXECUTIVE.
r. G. TEAcHOUT CHARGED WITH
EMBEZZLEMENT BY ALLAN
Ia PEANUT FIRM.

Madison, Nov. IA.
Governor Davidson last night decid-
ed that he would not allow F. E..
Teachout, alleged embezzler, to be
taken back to Atlanta, Ca, for pros
ecUtion until some substantial show
ing of guilt has been made. This de-
cision was rendered after a hearing
on a requisition from Governor Hoke
Smith of Georgia, which alleged that
Teachout is fugitive from justice, is
in Wisconsin and is wanted in Geor-
gia to answer to an indictment found
by grand jury charging embezzle-
ment of 1925 from the Howard Vend-
ing Machine company of Atlanta. The
technical offense alleged is larceny
after trust" an offense peculiar to
Georgia, in which state the antiquat-
ed law remains under which man
can be imprisoned for debt. Mr..
Teachout, it appears, sold peanut-sell-
ing machines for the complaining
company, operating in the state of
Alabama, and the company claims
that he is indebted to them in the
sum of $225, which Teachout denies.
Teachout formerly lived in New York,
but is now with his family in Milwau-
kee. He has position with Chica-
go vending machine company. At the
hearing he was represented by w. H.
Bennett of Milwaukee, who declared
the embezzlement, had any occurred,
was committed in the state of Ala
bama instead of Georgia, as in the
time claimed, Aug. 1 to Sept. 8,
Teaehout was selling machines and
peanuts In Alabama, on a contract,
and therefore no ofGfense could posi-
bly, have been committed against the
laws of Georgia, and no requisition
should be honored. He requested that
the requisition be denied or that at
least the prosecuting company should
be required to file affidavits showing
that an offense had been committed
of such seriousness as to be extra
ditable. w. ]. Harper of Atlanta
was present as agent of the Georgia
authorities.

MAY CHANGE DATE
OF STATE FAIR

Wisconsin's state fair may be held
week later than usual next year,
the second instead of the first week
in September. The managers of the
Minnesota and other state fairs are
inclined to hold their fairs week
later than usual, and the Wisconsin
management desires to have the bad
ger show in the same relative place
with reference to the circuit, so that
if the other states change, Wisconsin
will doubtless do likewise. The mat
ter will not be determined finally I'M
til the annual meeting of the Associ-
alton of Fairs and Expeditions in Chi
cago next month, to which President
George McKerrow and other repre-
sentatives of the Wisconsin fair will
go.

BULLDOG ATTACKS BOY.
Cheek of Freeport Lad Is Badly
Lacerated.

Freeport, Ill.,, Nov. 1.-THE six
year-old son of G. H. Daughenbaugn
of Harlem township, was badly bitten
by an English bulldog while he was
playing with the animal. The attack
was entirely unexpected, as the dog
was supposed to be harmless. The
brute sunk it's teeth deep into the
little lads cheek, decorating it fear
fully before it was driven off. A doc,
tor was called to attend the little fei-
low, and he found that thirty stitches
were required to close the wounds,
The boy displayed remarkable conr-
age, and attempted as best he could
to comfort his father, who was almost
frantic for fear his son had been
dangerously injured. He stoically
kept back his tears and calmly await
ed the arrival of the physician. The
dog attacked the father also during
the affair.

GREAT DIVERSITY OF SOIL.
Wisconsin Heads All other States in
This Respect.

There is, perhaps, no state with
greater diversity of soils than WIS
consin,' says Professor A. R. Whit
son of the college of agriculture, Uni
versity of Wisconsin, discussing the
great need for an adequate soil sur
vey of the state. Beside the huge
areas of intermediate clay loan soils
we have approximately 100000 acres
of extremely heavy clay, almost 81
OOO, 900 acres of marsh lands, and be-
tween 100000 and 100000 acres OF
sandy soils. The coming Legislature
will be urged to provide for a com
plete survey of the soils of the state
The soil is our greatest natural as
set, and the permanent prosperity OF
our state depends largely on how we
utilize our natural resources. These
special types of soil call for different
methods of farming and a complete
adaptation of the system of farming
to the land under cultivation

DO TINTED WALLS HURT EYES
Conditions at GaIena High School now
Worry Parents of Children.


Galena, Nov. 1.-THE prevalence of
sore eyes among the children in the
Central school building is becoming
matter of concern among several
of the parents, especially since the
matter of tinting the alls in hopes
of ameliorating the condition has
been brought before the board of edu-
cation and referred to the proper
committee and still no action has
been taken. Reference was made in
an issue of some days since to the
fact that several of the children in
attendance upon the Central school
had been having trouble with their
eyes, some of them having been COM
PEELED to wear blue glasses and even
secure medical treatment. The mat
ter was taken up with members of
the board of education and brought
up at regular meeting of the board,
being referred to the committee on
buildings.
1t is understoon that some of the
members of this committee are of the
opinion that the glazed walls in the
various rooms are not the cause of
the trouble and any expense which
might be done to tint the walls would
be unjustifiable Be this as 1t may,
no action has been taken up to the
present time. The matter was even
the subject of discussion at a recent
meeting of the Fortnightly club, the
members being almost unanimously
of the opinion that the glazed walls
are the cause of the prevalence of the
eye trouble among the children.

MAKES PROPOSAL
TO NORMAL|TES
PRESIDENT VAN HisE OFFERS
COOPERATION IN TEACH
ERS, TRAINING.
IN MILWAUKEE SPEECH, HE
SAYS PLAN WILL MEAN
MORE TEACHERS.
Madison, Nov. IA.

MduiSOu, NOV. Ii.
by the development of strong
four-year course in the university for
the training of teachers; by coopera-
ton with the normal schools in new
four-year course, one-half of which is
to be in the normal school and one
half in the university, and by provi
sion for graduate work, we have po
tentially solved the problem of the
efficient training of an adequate num-
Der of teachers for the secondary
schools. 1t only remains for the nor
NAL school to accept this proposal for
the completion of the plans of the uni
versity," said President Charles r.
Van Hise of the University of Wis
consin in addressing the members of
the University of Wisconsin Alumni
Teachers club at their third annual
dinner at the Plankinton house
last night
Will Result in More Teachers.
"As yet, the demand on the univer-
sity for teachers has exceeded the
supply, but the new course for the
training of teachers organized this
year will undoubtedly increase the
number available for teaching in the
secondary schools" continued the
speaker. ITO further increase the
number, the regents of the university
have formally proposed to the normal
school regents that a combined four
year course for the training of teach
ers of secondary schools be intro
duced, two years of which shall be
given In the normal school, and two
years in the university, upon the
completion of which the students will
receive the degree of bachelor OF arts.
1t is proposed that joint committee
of the educational officers of the nor
NAL schools and the university meet
and work out such four-year course,
to be submitted for approval to the
regents of the university and those
of the normal schools. AS yet this
proposal is under advisement by the
normal school authorities. It is be.
lieved that if this proposal be accept
ed, any shortage of adequately trained
teachers for secondary schools will
be met within a few years, and that
this will be accomplished with the
maximum of efficiency and the mini
mum of expense.
Need Four Years Training.
ct is practically the unanimous
opinion among teachers that four
years of work beyond the high school
is the minimum training that should
be accepted for teaching in the Sec
ondary schools, and it is believed
by many that in addition to those
four years. graduate work OF year
or half a year at least should be re-
quired,'' said President Van Hise. 1T
is our own opinion that while this
additional work can not now be re-
uuired. it is extremely desirable;
therefore, in the university course for
the preparation of teachers we have
introduced half a year of graduate
work. In California, already the
equivalent of full year of graduate
work is required. We can not be-
lieve that for any length of time the
state of Wisconsin will be content to
accept for teaching in the secondary
schools less training than is demand
ed by the most progressive states in
the country. If this be so, it is GER
] tain that the minimum requirement
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1908-11-18

that this amount be set aside from
the estate.
In conclusion they set out that the
will directs that by 1913 the trust
shall have been terminated and the
assets distributed among the heirs.
They also point to the clause where
in it is stated the trust agreement
may be terminated by agreement of
all benef1ciaries should it be found to
be for the best interest Of all con-
cerned.

On the Rail

The Wabash and other railroads
have joined in an effort to defeat the
power vested in or assumed by the
interstate commerce commission to
compel the use of safety appliances
upon engines used exclusively in in
terstate commerce.
The Pennsylvania railroad is work
ing with the state college of agricul-
ture to spread among the farmers of
that section the knowledge acquired
by years of experiment in preserving
and increasing the fertility of the
soil and introducing new crops. It.
provides special train, and the state
coolidge provides the exhibits and lee
turers. This is good business for the
railroad and of large Importance for
the improvement of the farming in
dustry.
The trunk line and transcontinentaI
railroads are said to have practically
agreed upon 10 per cent advance in
various rates to take effect January l.
This is said to explain partially the
exceptional strength of New York
Central stock. Now that the election
is over President Roosevelt is not ex-
pected to interfere.
Approval has been given by the
block signal and train control board
of the interstate commerce commits
sion at Washington for the test of an
automatic train-stopper device to be
established on the Colebrookdale
branch of the Philadelphia and Read
ing railroad near Pottstown, Pa. 1t
is cab signal and automatic train
stop, designed in such fashion that
| if the engineer of the locomotive
should fail, for any reason, to observe
danger signal On his route, the
| train is brought to a stop automatic
ally. One of the special features OF
| the device-and in this respect it diff
| fers from any other yet submitted to
the boards it's application to trains
driven by means of electricity, in
which case resistance is switched into
the motor circuit or the current IS
shut off in the event of a train enter
ing an INSTRUCTED block.
