OPENING Of SENATORIAL
CAMPAIGN IN WISCONSIN
Present Senator Isaac Stephenson
of Marinette Choice of the
Laboring Classes.
Has Been Loyal to Labor All
Through His Business and
. Political Careers.

Our special correspondent reports
that an active campaign is now in
progress in the Badger state for the
denomination, of Isaac Stephenson to
the office Of United States senator,
and that the occasion revives many
old memories Of the early days of the
numbering industry in Wisconsin and
Michigan.
For a quarter of a century and
more Mr. Stephenson was actively en-
gagged \in the lumber business, and
was one of the largest employers of
labor in the state Of Wisconsin. His
business methods and square dealing
during all those years so endeared
him to his men, that today his
former employees are putting up a
most enthusiastic campaign on his
behalf
They represent, and it seems not
to be susceptible of dispute, that Mr.
Stephenson was the fairest employer
large or small-in the lumber in
dustry.
Long before the great ten hour
strike at Saginaw he had voluntarily
reduced the length of the working day
in his sawnills and other plants, and
for many years there was no other
concern in the West in the lumber
business which did not work it's men
| longer hours. . ......: ,@f:
No cut in wages accompanied this
reduction in hours and at all times
Stephenson paid as high wages as
any other lumber concern, higher than
most and a good deal higher than any
other. -.
He never had a strike or any diff
Guilty with labor during his entire
business life. =.
In his lumber: camps there was no
docking for lost time, no discounting
Of time checks nor holding back Of
pay. Until. good hospitals with the
ticket system had been established,
| medical and surgical aid and atten-
| tion were: furnished; free of charge to
all men in the camps who needed such
aid for any reason, either injury or
sickness. - ~ J/~'.., y III : r..
Because Of these things his former
| employees are now his -warmest sup
porters. They have not forgotten and
they are now reciprocating. :
While Mr.. Stephenson has acquired
| a fortune he certainly didn't get it by
| cheating his employees. III E7>%7 -.
Besides this unique record as an
employer: he has at all times while in
congress shown himself in sympathy
with labor, and, time and again has
voted for and supported measures: in
tended to better the condition of the
workingman. @@<z.5 Ss$S>. - * .

LEAVE BABE BY
LAKE TO DROWN
Four Weeks Old Girl Disc0v-
cred Wrapped in Paper by
Waters Edge

OAKLAND, July Ga four weeks
old baby girl, wrapped in a covering
of brown paper, was found by Fognorse
Bodenhifer near the waters edge on the
shore of Lake Merritt this evening.
Bedenhifer was strolling around the
lake and had just reached the grove of
willows at the corner of Nineteenth
and Oak streets when his attention was
attracted by a feeble cry.
At first he thought he had heard a
cat and continued his walk, but the
cry was repeated and this time he
found that the sound came from a
bundle which lay near the edge of the
water. Bodenhifer picked up the parcel
of paper and found that II contained
an infant girl, shiyering as q result Of
exposure. He wrapped the infant in
his coat and started to search for a
claimant, thinking that some one might
still be near by.
He failed to find any one in the
vicinity. Bodenhifer met Policeman
Crossman and placed the child in his
care. The officer sent the little one to
the receiving hospital.
The child was still very cold when
the matron took her in charge, but she
quickly revived.
The tide was low in the lake when
the child was found and the police are
inclined to believe that she was placed
close to the waters edge in order that
she might be washed away and
drowned when the tide came in.

BROWN DEALS BLOW
TO RINGS SCHEME
Supervisors Method of Expend-
ing Road Funds UndergOes
Radical Change

OAKLAND, July "a blow at ths
foundations Of the political systems
which members of the board OF super
visors have created for themselves oy
expenditures Of road funds In their
various districts was delivered today
by District Attorney Brown after long
deliberation with his chief deputy, W.
H. DOnahue-
The custom has existed to allow su-
pervisOrs TO do certain pieces or road
work in their own way and TO SEND
in bill afterward. BY close attention
in selection of road foremen and assist
ants, with an eye to the standing or
contractors to whom the work was
often awarded, the supervisor could
easily create a quiet and effective po-
htical machine for himself In easy
years the money supply was almost un-
limited, for whenever the road funds
raised by district taxation gave out
there were always large sums set
aside from the general fund to supply
the deficit The possibilities OF the
method were vast and the history OF
the county would indicate that they
were never overlooked and that no
nook or Granny had escaped explOra-
tion-
But Brown has changed all that and
the change Is In line with the sim
plest and best business practice He
insisted that all road work must be
authorized by resolution introduced IN
advance specifying the amount and
kind of work TO be done. and above all
in Importance to the tax payer. the
maximum amount OF money to be spent
is publicly fixed before the award Is
made for the work.
The ring members Of the board have
become thoroughly alarmed by the ac-
tivity OF the district attorney and the
grand jury.
Today, though the ringsters saw the
old secret advantages being torn from
them, they made no outcry, but said
that the innovation would be intro
duced at once.

BROWN HOLDS UP
DARGIF'S BIG BILL
Voucher for Printing Delinquent
Tax List Taken by Dis
trict Attorney
Official Will Seek to Defer Pay
ment to Keep County
From Deficit

OAKLAND, July 6.-W. E. Dargie's
bill for printing the delinquent county
tax list for the fiscal year Just closed
was held over for one week in order
to allow District Attorney Brown to
scrutinize it's every aspect before final
passage. Brown requested the board
70 rescind action on the bill after it
had been allowed in a bulky batch Of
other claims, in the manner in which
all important financial deals are handled
by the ring supervisors. They acceded
70 the district attorneys request and
the bill was taken from the pile and
given to Brown.
The delinquent tax lists were printed
four times and the bill against the
county amounted to $9,OS3. The dis
trlct attorney also said that he wished
10 md out whether it would be pos
slole to pay the bill. IL it is allowed to
stand, from the funds for the present
nscal year, or whether the law would
require its payment from last years
money
The supervisors have run so close TO
their full allowance that the shifting
or the bill from one year to the other
may save the board from incurring a
dehcit for both halves of the fiscal year
Ihere is small doubt existing in the
mind of any official that the board will
run behind II the Dargie bill has TO
be paid out of last years funds. To
save the credit of the county from the
ref1ection of continual deficits District
Attorney Brown will test every para
graph of the code to discover whether
the claim may not be allowed from tax
money TO be collected for the year
10000.

church, where he had gone to attend a
meeting of the Mems league this even
ing, Captain H. T. Waite, a retired sea

the church, was seized with a sudden
attack OF heart trouble which was fol-
lowed in a few moments by his death.
AS soon as he was stricken other mem

medical assistance, but their efforts
proved unavailing.

age, had walked down to the church
from his home at 1915 Eleventh avenue
and appeared to be in good health until
he reached the sidewalk in front of the
church. Then he complained of dizzi-

able TO walk unassisted into the lecture
room. There he sank rapidly and died
surrounded by members of the church.
Captain Waite was formerly port war
den Of San Francisco. Several years
