The police and the sheriff have aided
the board materially in laying before

applicants.
The board also had the task of Sec

ops law, and established the rule of
revoking license of all those convicted

Winter Yet.
WILL SOON DISAPPEAR

fore Evening.

Icemen are hereby notified that IL
they haven't hunted up their last years
arctics yet or put a new edge on the
saws it is time that they did, for the
ice crop is growing, and it will soon
be ripe enough to be picked, for the
coolest day of the year is with us. And
they want to be spry about it, too, be-
cause, while it has been cold and
Is cold now. there is a modification
of the temperature due to arrive before
long, which may possibly injure n
ice not bedded down in sawdust and
straw.
1t was cold last night and this morn
curry in the thermometer was crawling
down cellar to see what allied the fur
mace and got down to within four de-
grees of zero before it became satisfied
with, its surroundings.
At Z o'clock it began to look up and
take notice again, and managed to
rise as far as five degrees. By loon 1t
was up to twelve, with hopes of get
ting a few steps higher before sunset.
AS for the wind, it aided and abetted
the cold In every way possible. Not
being a union wind, it worked all
night, and then went right on during
the day. refusing to take a layoff for
any reason whatever. 1t will get what
is coming to it later in the day, though,
for the weather prophet says that it
will die down almost completely about
sunset; so, of course it will have to,
whether it wants to or not.
At least one person forced to be out
in the biting weather was incapaci-
tated by the cold. Sergeant Tyler, of
the Fifth Precinct, was notified about
Z o'clock this morning that a man was
lying on a stoop at Fifth and Dickin-
son streets, and it was believed that
he was dead from cold. The ambu-
lance was hurried to the place. 1t was
found that the man had cramps in his
| legs, which We're SO bad that he could
not move, caused by the cold weather,
lie gave his name as Thomas Jack
son. 20 years old, of 500 North Sixth
street, and was taken home, where he
was cared for.
! Special precautions are being taken
by many people against fire. In wealth
er such as this chimney fires, resulting
from over-heated defective lues, are
more common than at any other time,
and care is necessary to prevent house
hold fires.
One blaze was. reported this morning.
In that instance the water in the house
became frozen in the pipes, and in at
tempting to thaw the pipes the place
was set on fire. Paper was burned
around the pipes. and the flames caught
the woodwork. The damage vas slight.
The cold wave. which came from the
Northwest. has settled everywhere east
of st. Louis. Both that city and st.
Paul are even chiIlier than Newark,
while at M%innedosa, Manitoba, the
thermometer dropped to sc below zero.

BRYAN FAVORS
CAMPAIGN
GIFTS
Money Can Come as Evil
dence Of Patriotic Interest
in Public Cause.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-tAn cleo
tion is a public affair and participation
in politics is a civic duty. All argu-
ments used in elections should be used
publicly n all means employed to
secure the election of or to defeat a
candidate should be the means with
which one using them would not be
ashamed to have the world know"
This epitomizes the views of William
J.. Bryan or the subject of publicity of
campaign contributions as expressed
today before the House. committee on
election of President and Vice-Presi-
dent.
Mr.. Bryan said he was glad President
Roosevelt had taken the matter up.
HE has spoken so, plainly on the sub
ject of publicity OF campaign contribu-
tons" said MIR. Bryan, that | am surc
that the fact that / am a Democrat
will not place suspicion upon my argu-
ment, for / think I have the same in
terest in this matter that the President
has expressed"
Mr.. Bryan declared that there could
be no objection to anyone making a
campaign contribution, 'if that con-
tribution represents his patriotic in
terests in a public cause" He said it
was the duty of the. people to o n
tribute to the expense of disseminating
campaign material by way of educa-
ton.
1t had been charged. he said, that
Chairman Cortelyou had received con
tributions from six thousand contribu-
tors, ''as IT," he said. "it was a matter
to deserve the recognition hat so many
people had contributed" Even if this
were true, he argued that they were a
very slim fraction of the seven million
voters for President Roosevelt.
AS for the Democratic party, Mr..
Bryan said that in 1897 it had more
contributors than in any previous CAIN
paign. .

they have had to deal with in many a
day. Inspector Redding, of Boston,
said he had been following a chap
whose description was similar to the
''Yale Students for three months ali
over New England, finding bogus
money orders cashed by him right and
left.
The specific charge against him is
attempting to pass a worthless check
in New Haven to II. Steinert &c Sons,
music dealers. The check was for $500,
and purported to have been drawn by
a Boston firm. 1t was Ammerman's
scheme to make a purchase for his
student apartments" and get in cash
the difference between the check and
what he bought.
While at the Navarro as Carter the
young man lived sumptuously and wore
many different suits of fashionable
clothes. From the letters found in his
room by the inspector and Detective
Donnelly, of New Haven, IL a sleuth
from headquarters here, it. was learned
he had sevra1 in this city.
There were notes from girls to whom
he had made love, the detectives de-
clared, which, Semed to Indicate that
several marriages might take place
soon-if Carter was to be believed.
Also there was a w~ell-thumbed copy
of Mrs. Gyms '"Three Weeks" and less
romantic. but more to the point, the
sleuths said they found a full set OF
stamping dies, such as are used in post
Offices to make out money orders.
The New Haven police say Ammer-
man has opened his heart to them and
admitted hat he stole money order
blanks in New York, Worcester, Phila-
delphia, Springfield and New Haven.
Recently p~ostofice officials have found
many fake orders cashed by merchants
in various places.
The New Haven postmaster sem out
notices to tradesmen to be IN the look
out for such frauds, and it was this
that led Steinert & Sons to call De-
tective Donnelly when zimmerman ap-
peared with his check. The young mar
was arraigned yesterday and held IN
So, 900 bond. Among the names he il:
TO have used were Philip Sheridan,
C. NJ. S%tipheny and Harry F. Sturgis.

A decision has been handed down by
Judge Kirwan overruling the demurrer
of the Manitowoc & Northern Traction
Co. in the action involving ownership
of and payment for car purchased by
the local company OF the Indianapolis
Traction q Terminal Co. The action
was started by the Traction Co., in at
taching an interurban car, purchased
of the Indianapolis Co. a year or more
ago. The car was to be repaired and
when completed was shipped here by
the Indianapolis company with 70 claim
of 5000 for the repairs. The local com
pany declined 10 pay, claiming that
the charge was excessive, and that $4OO
would be a reasonable charge. 10 gain
possession of the car, an attachment
was secured, which was virtually the
starting of an action in court. The lnd'
annapolis company filed a counter claim
for possession of the car and to this the

MEETING TO Be HELD.

Blue prints showing the proposed new
dock lines up the river have been re-.
cieved from Major Judson, district engi-
neer, and request is made for public
hearing in the near future at the city
hall to afford anyone who may have OBJ
jections to file the same. Under the
rules of the War Department. which
must approve the new lines, "a pnblic
hearing must be held and any objection
which may be lodged must be given
consideration. The changes here are
due to the fact that as originally laid
out the dock lines run into the bank on
the east side of the river so as to make
impossible the construction of docks.
The new lines extends several feet in
to the river on the east side and will
cut into the Wisconsin Central property
on the west side. 1t is not probable that
any objection will be raised.

sioner of Labor through the Wisconsin
Free Employment Offices has placed
hundreds Of men on farms, there are
still many openings for those desiring to
go OH a farm. There are many men out
of employment in the cities, but they
seem to prefer to hold out until they
can find work in their particular occu-
pations even if they must face poverty
for while If the workingman will
stop to consider the large part of his in
come which he spends for rent, food,
and fuel in the city, he will see that the
low money wages paid in cash on the
farm are not so low in reality. Persons
wishing to go on farm should address
any one of the Free Employment offices
in Milwaukee, Superior, Oshkosh or La
Crosse and should give references and
details regarding the conditions under
which they would go on a farm. Far
mers desiring help should state kind
of work to be done, wages and wheth-
er they would pay railroad fare.

JUST MERE PIECE OF STRING.
The Important Part 1t Plays In
Japanese Life.

Writing from Japan, an American
says: You must come here to ap-
preciate some of the quaint customs
and usages which contact with other
peoples has not yet driven out. To
read about them gives you only poor
idea. For instance, did you ever know
what an important thing a piece OF
string is here? The children, workmen
Idlers, servants, all carry pieces of
string for use in case of emergency.
With us the emergency would arise
only when a parcel had to be done up,
but the Jap uses his piece of string as
first aid to the injured, to repair
rent in his clothing, to fix a broken
down jinrikisha, to mend tools, to take
measurements and, in fact, the string
is his universal tool chest.
The queerest use to which it Is put,
according to my way of thinking, is
when police officer arrests a man,
ties bit Of string about the arrested
mans wrist and then leads him by the
loose end OF the thin hempen fetter TO
the lookup. You ask: why doesn't
the Jap crook break the string and
find a gateway? He could, but he
would not. That's where his respect
for the law comes in, and the bit OF
string holds the man as securely as
though he were manacled by our own
humane chilled steel, nickel-plated and
SnaD-lOcked method "
