WHITE CASE IS HEARD.
Arguments Completed in Famous $685.
900 Conspiracy Suit at Wau-
kesha.

WAUKESHA, Wis, Dec. 1.-[Spe-
cial. l-Arguments were completed in the
circuit court today in the $685. 900 con-
spiracy suit of Mrs. Charlotte e. White
of this city against her mother-in-law,
Mrs. Frances L. White; her father-in-
law, Frederick II. White, ST.; her hus-
band, Frederick II. White, Jr.; Mary A.
Stewart and others
The suit was tried some months ago
but had never been argued. Young Mrs.
the defendants had conspired to ALLEVIATE
her husbands affections and that they
had finally succeeded in separating her
from her husband. The testimony at the
trial was sensational. Among other
things the plaintiff alleged that a Mil
waukee private detective had been en-
ployed by the defendants to endeavor to
compromise her and secure evidence
against her that would permit her hus-
band to get a divorce.
The parties to the suit are all promi-
nent. Frances l.. White is considered
the wealthiGst woman in Waukesha and
is a daughter of former Gov. Ludington.
A motion was entered yesterday by coun-
sci for the defendants to have the suit
dismissed as to Frederick 81. White, DR.,
because ne is the plaintiffs husband.
Judge Lueck stated that he would decide
the motion at the same time he an
nounces his decision in the suit. The
case will probably be appealed to the
supreme court regardless of who wins.

EXPECT MANY CHANGES
GOV. DAVIDSON is PREPARING HIS
BIENNIAL MESSAGE.
Rumored Among Officials That Abolition
of State Land Office and Treasury
Agent Will Be Recommended

MADISON, Wis, Dec. 1.-ESpecial.l-
Gov. Davidson is now receiving reports
from the various departments of state
government, preparatory to writing his
biennial message to the Legislature,
which will convene on January 13. From
the reports already received, it is evident
that there may be changes recommended
in the method of taxing telephone COM
panies of the state; the rotation of names
on the primary election ballot; in the
amount of money to be expended in pri-
mary and general campaigns; increasing
the force in the banking department and
rearranging the supervision of the pub
lie lands of the state. The writing of
the message has not been started, al
though the governor has outlined his
ideas so that the document can be COM
pleted as soon as additional reports are
received from the railroad commission
and the state tax commission.
There is considerable discussion as to
whether the governor will recommend not
only the abolition of the land office, but
also of the treasury agents department,
which attends to the supervision and
licensing of peddlers and hawkers. The
position of treasury agent is still occu-
pied by Editor Henry Pollock of Lam
caster, whose term of office expired near
" a year ago. Either the duties of the
Office will be increased, and a more com
plete and systematic method of super
vision attempted or the duties will be
placed under the state treasurer, who
handles the funds collected from this
source

OUR HARDWOOD FORESTS.
Only Limited Area to Supply the Con-
stantIY Growing Demand.

It will be remembered that there are
mo hardwoods on the Pacific coast. Ex-
cept in a comparatively small area in
southeastern Missouri and Arkansas the
hardwoods are not known west Of the
Mississippi river, while in the states
north of the Ohio, where oak was former
" abundant, there is none remaining
today. In fact the principal source of
supply for these woods is the very linn
ited area in the higher mountains Of
western North Carolina, part Of Vir-
GINA, West Virginia, eastern Tennessee
and southeastern Kentucky, while from
fifty times this entire area in the remain
ing states of the Union the demand is
constantly increasing.
Forest conditions in the Cumberland
mountains are far better than in other
portions Of the United States. The
rainfall is ample to secure most rapid
growths. The soil has not been eroded
to such an extent as to make renewals
difficult.
An abundance of low growing shrub
and heritage keep the soil cool ond
moist and maintain soil fertility, while
much Of the region contains a fine stand
of the more valuable oaks, hickories,
poplar, hemlock and walnut. The latter
can be quickly secured by supplying the
