Game Wardens of the state who are
under civil service appointment have

rgested recently that the wardens be
told to refrain from mixing in and the
state warden, acting upon this sugges-
ton. has sent out the letter OIL warn
ing. The department, says the letter,
makes no attempt to interfere with

Harvey Wells, Arrested in Bos-
ton, Admits Guilt and will
Return For Sentence
WANTS TO GET IT OVER WITH
Local Bank Officials Are Notified that
Wells Will Return to Wisconsin
without Extradition and Will
Not Fight Charges
(From Fridays Daily

Harvey T. Wells, the absconding
clerk Of the First National Bank, has
made full confession to the United
States officials at Boston admitting
that he took the amount charged from
the bank and intimating that he was
ready to return to- Milwaukee and plead
guilty. to the charges against him.
The confession was made on Thursday
when Wells after night in jail admit
ted his identity and Informed the OF
fcials that he would return to Mllwau
kee and take his medicine without any
requisition papers. w. I'll. Purnell,
cashier Of the bank, had been preparing
to go to Boston to Identify Wells, but
when he received word that the boy
had confessed he gave up the trip and
the case will be left wholly in the hands
OF the United States deputy sheriffs.
The capture of Wells is regarded as
rather remarkable on account of the
fact that the detectives who finally
landed him had no photograph of him
save one taken when Wells was five
years Of age. When first arrested Wells
strenuously denied that he was the
man wanted and the papers which had
been sent to Boston did not satisfy the
officials there that he was the man. New
papers in the case were sent east on
Thursday and it is thought possible
that he will be sent to Milwaukee in
company with one of the Boston depu-
ties.
Boston correspondents are still send
ing out fancy romances in regard to- the
marriage Of Wells and they declare that
Wells IS wife has been to see him many
times in the jail there and that she will
come west to aid him in his fight in
sion of Wells is complete one and he
states that the amount he took from
the bank was $4,000 and not $4,000 as
has been stated in some Of the stories
sent out in connection with his arrest.
Wells will throw himself On the mercy
of the court. AS it is the first offense
for him it is not probable that the
officials of the Kenosha bank will seek
to have the government impose any
hard sentence ON him, but they will
probably be satisfied with the minimum
penalty under the law which is five.
years in one Of the federal prisons. The
maximum penalty is twenty years. If
Wells is sentenced to prison he will
probably join the famous bankers
colony at Leavenworth, Kensas. Frank
the Milwaukee banker, was
the last man sent to Leavenworth from
this state.
It is not expected that Wells will
arrive in Milwaukee until the first Fart
of next week and his hearing may not
take place until some time in Septem-
bcr If he decides to plead guilty the
case will probably be taken up by
Judge Quarles at an early date.

DOWNS LOTTERIES
Postoffice Department Has Driven Them
With Other Fates From the Mail

Lottery and prize contest promoters
are running to cover under sharp
campaign now being conducted against
them by the postofice department.. It
is estimated that the close scrutiny now
exercised over all publications has re-
suited in the exclusion from the second
class privilege Of periodicals aggregat-
ing 25000,000 circulation. These were
ali cheap publications, bullying with
+" free" offers and prize contests akin
to lotteries.
The department is also demanding
stricter compliance with the second
class rules in regard to requiring
Paid -in-advance subscriptions before ad
hitting to entry.
In another branch of the department.,
postoffice inspectors are busy watching
advertising fakirs. The assistant at
torney generals Office is the mecca Of
all newspaper men in the capital just
row, with the summer dearth of news
on, because there is hardly day that
several fraud orders do not appear.
Among all the varieties of fakes I'M
covered by this branch of the service.
by far the most plentiful is the astrolo-
gical, the psychological, clairvoyant, or
scorers fraud These are the folk who
advertise a complete individual life
reading from the start for small
SUM claiming an individual horoscope.
etc. What the department objects to is
that these fakirs have horoscopes for
the twelve months all prepared in ad-
vance and dish them out according to
the birth date of the applicant. Also,
in a good many cases, the same string
of generalties about temperament, love
affairs and SO on, appears in each
horoscope.
Sometimes, the inspectors have also
discovered that the learned advertiser
doesn't even know an astrobale from
a Plymouth rock rooster.

MUST CARRY LIGHTS
Police Chief Issues New Order in Re
gard to the use of Automobiles

gard to the use of Automobiles
Chief Of Police O'Hare has issued a
new order in regard to the use Of auto
NOODLES in the city and in the future
al machines must carry tail lights.
Any driver not carrying these lights
VIII be arrested and prosecuted under
the state law. In the past few nights
the police have had trouble getting
the drivers of some cars violating the
speed ordinance on account Of the fact
that they failed to carry lights on the
back of the machine In addition to
this 1t is declared that some OF the
drivers had deliberately smeared the
numbers with mud in order to make it
impossible for the police to discover
them. These sort of tactics have made
the chief sore and he is going to get
these men even if it becomes necessary
to use heroic measures.

He denies that ships operated by the Port land and Asiatic Steamship company be- tween Portland and Asiatic ports in con nection with the rail lines of the Union Pacific Railroad company and the South ern Pacific, or if any ship competition did ever exist it was not substantial, or that included large volume of traffic of any kind.

STRONG DENIAL OF
 ALL THE CHARGES Congressman Loud Appears In
 LiIIey Investigation HIS VOTE NOT INFLUENCED Sharp Passage at Arms Occurs Be- tween Mir. Liley. and a Newspaper
 Man in Regard to Question
 of Personal Veracity.
HIS VOTE NOT INFLUENCED

Washington. April 6.-The Lake Torpe- do Boat company occupied the stage today l in the investigation of charges against the Electric Boat company, being con- ducted by the House special committee. Robert H. Skerrett of New York, who i was in the employ of the Lake company ], as it's foreign representative, was put i through a searching examination as to a series of articles he had written for magazines and newspapers on the subject Of submarines. It was the evident pur- pose of the committee to show that he had written the articles with the view of creating favorable sentiment for the ] Lake company, but he denied this. He was still on the stand when the commit l tee adjourned for the day. The morning session was enlivened by passage at i arms between Representative Llley and R. w. Woolley, a Washington newspaper correspondent, over question of personal veracity.
 Representative Loud of Michigan denied the statement of State Senator Frank Edinborough of Michigan, to the effect that Loud was annoyed because of a re- , port that the Electric Boat company was bearing down" on him in his district or the question of submarines. Mr., Loud de- nied that any influence had been brought to bear on him to vote for submarine boats.
 Representative Loud denied that he had complained bitterly that W. G. Gordon of his district, an attorney of the com pany, had ''borne down upon him in the matter of submarine legislation, as testi- fled to Friday by Frank Marlborough formerly his private secretary. He said MT. Gordon had not done so nor had he in any way threatened him with political opposition; neither had he urged upon him the subject of submarines.
 No Outside Influence.
 MT. Loud said that when he had learned of MT. Gordons employment by the Electric Boat company he had ex pressed extreme regret that MT. Gordon had accepted employment with the com- pany. He also denied knowledge of caus- ing letter or telegram to be written, as testified to by MT. Edinborough, inform ing MT. Gordon of his action in commit tee in voting for submarines He said he could find no record of such letter. He also had expressed regret while on a trip on the Dolphin, to a number of Con- gressmen, among whom was MT. Liley that the Electric Boat company had em- ployed an attorney in his district. No one had ever intimated to him, he said, that MT. Gordon would become a candidate against him if he did not vote for sub marines.
 MT. Loud said he had never been infiu- enced bS any one outside the naval af- fairs committee, but have always" he continued, upon my own judgment voted for what I deemed best for the naval service and my duty as member of that committee"
 Before MT. Loud took the stand, Chair man Boutell called attention to the fact that affidavits, letters, etc., presented to
