have been issued to the governors of
all adjacent States and to prominent
ofncers of the army, navy and ma
tional guard to attend the Old Guard
ball at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel to-
morrow night. From the number of
acceptances received from prominent
men, it is likely that the ball will be
the most magnificent military affair
held in New York in many years. The
affair will be more exclusive than
heretofore, as the number of guests
will be limited to 1900, whereas as
many as $4,000 have attended the balls
held in Madison square Garden in past
years.

MuLAoLLAND CREDITORS MEET.
(By s. W. Press Association)

(By s. w. Press Associatlon)
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 2S.-Creditors of
John Mulholland. the spectacular A.
nancier of the Middle West, held their
first meeting to-day to discuss plans
for a settlement of the affairs Of the
bankrupt broker. In his voluntary
petition in bankruptcy Mulhollani
gave his assets as $685. 6S.eS and his
liabilities as, 81, S04,S 6S. One thousand
or more creditors, scatterd in eight
States, are affected. In his list Of as.
sets Mulholland scheduled everything
from railroads to private libraries and
personal belongings. The creditors
meeting was held in East st. Louis.
Mulholland began his career OF high
finance few years ago with a work
Ing capital of scarcely nothing. His
first brokerage Office was established
in this city, and later branches we're
operated in New York. Chicago, Gin
cinnati, Cleveland, Detroit, Buffalo and
Kansas City. In each of these cities
he opened elaborate Offices, incorporat-
ing under the laws of the State, bond
ing his companies and signing the pa.
per himself. 1t Is believed that little
can be realized on the 100000 sched-
uled as assets.

then took up the church debt at the
point to which it had been reduced by
Elder Robinson, and after long pa

present, succeeded in inducing many

about $50 were left unprovided for

PRIMARY LAWS ALIKE
WISCONSIN AND ILLINOIS STAT
UTES SIMILAR, SAYS TUCKER.
Representative of State Legal Depart
ment, Who Revised Wisconsin Elec-
ton Law, Gives Opinion.

MADISON, Wis, Jan. 31.-[Special.l
THE Wisconsin and Illinois primary
laws are similar in many of the impor
tant provisions" said Attorney f. L.
Tucker, of the state legal department
today. Mr.. Tucker at the request of the
Assembly committee on election a year
ago, revised the Wisconsin primary cleo
ton law.
Discussing the Illinois law, he said !:
"The Illinois law differs radically from
ours IN that it provides that voters shall
call for their party ticket and may be
challenged as not belonging to that po-
litical party. In Wisconsin, every voter
at a primary election, is put upon his
honor. This is all right so long as there
is honor enough to go around. l am
of the opinion that some time, our law
will have to be changed in this respect
Under the Illinois law, candidates to
be balloted for in November, will be
nominated in April This will give po-
itical activity in the Sucker state the
year around.
The Oglesby law leaves political plat
form making as far from the people as
the old convention method did.
Delegates to party platform conven-
tons will be chosen by precinct COM
mltteemen. l consider this as very bad
feature. However, any law providing
for the direct nominations by the cleo
tors, is better than the old boss system"

STATE REFUNDS TAXES.
Frear's Statement Reveals That Counties
Got Back More in 1907 Than
They Paid in 1906.

MADISON, Wis, Feb. 1-Secretary
of State Frear has prepared statement
giving facts and explanations Of the
state tax levies for the current year
The state tax levy for 1906 was linn
tied to one-half of the tax ordinarily lev
led for common schools and amounted to
$643,6SO. All other taxes were RENTED
The balance in the general fund of the
state treasury on June 80, 1906, was
81 ,225, 1926.
The total general fund receipts by the
state for the ensuing year were 50, 1872
344.17. These receipts were contributed
from various sources including the rail
way taxes of $2,673, 771.12, insurance
tax and fees amounting to $500, 1853. 70
and smaller sums derived from inherit
ance tax, licenses, corporations and 9th
er fees.
During the same period the total state
disbursements from the general fund
amounted to 1864 $3.50, or 100000
in excess of the receipts. These dis
bursements included S919.4f1 .46 paid by
the state for maintenance of charita BILE
and penal institutions, together with in
Vulnerable other items all paid out I'M
der specific legal provisions These items
covered the cost of maintaining the state
government, including the courts, depart
ments and different bureaus; all the di-
rect appropriations by the Legislature,
and monies contributed toward educa-
tional institutions, which latter items
amounted to substantially one-half of the
entire state disbursements.
No state tax levy was made in 1906
for any purpose excepting for one-half
of the common school tax above men
toned, which amounted to S643, $50.
This amount was charged against the
different counties and afterward dis
tributed among them, together with the
additional amount of $643, $50, not lev
led, the annual appropriation of 100000
required by law to be paid out of the
general fund for common schools, and
the sum OF $1S7,115, interest on school
trust funds, making q total of 81 ,674, 40
distributed among the counties. In 9TH
er words, in 1907 in addition to paying
all expenses Of state government, the
state paid back to the different counties
81 ,030, 795 more than it received from
them in taxes for the year 1906.

EVANSISOVER- HONORED
CHILEAN NAVY GIVES HIM THE
VICE ADMIRAL'S SALUTE.
Yankee WarCraft Greeted by the Entire
Population of Punta Arenas
Forty Minutes of Shooting.

PUNTA ARENAS, Chill, Feb g.
The American battleship fleet arrived
after Il pleasant run from Rio de ia
metro. The CHILEAN cruiser Chacabuco
and the British cruiser Sappho We're in
the harbor and both saluted the Ameri-
can flag and Admiral Evans
The Chacabuco, as Il special courtesy
from the Gillian navy, gave Evans the
vice admirafs salute instead of the one
due TO a rear admiral, following the ex-
ample set by the Brazilian navy.
Apparently the entire population of
the city turned out to see the American
ships and the town was gayly decorated
with flags in honor of the occasion.
The most noteworthy feature of the
trip south from Rio occurred January
16, when four Argentine warships,
which had been dispatched for the eX
press purpose, met the American fleet
off the mouth Of the Rio de la Plata,
when national salutes were exchanged
The crews of the various ships cheered
each other. and Admiral Olivia, COM
handing the Argentine squadron, and
Rear Admiral Evans exchanged cordial
greetings by means of the wireless tele
graph. The ceremonies lasted forty
minutes.
The flotilla of torpedo boat destroyers,
which visited Buenos Ayres on the invi
tation of the Argentine government, is
expected to arrive here tomorrow.

POOL USURPS ORATORY,
society Halls at Lawrence University,
Hallowed with Memories, Convert
ed Into Gaming Parlors.

APPLETON, Wis, Feb. IL Special. I
oh Temporal! Oh Mores. We are in
deed living in decadent age The lat
est bulletin to be issued by President
Samuel Plantz, head of Lawrence mi
VersIty. the seat of Methodist learning in
Wisconsin, is to the effect that the so
clety halls, on the topmost floor of the
old UNCOVERED university building, NAV
be converted into pool and billiard par
lors.
These rooms are two in number and to
the Lawrence graduate are rich with as
Soclatlons, having been for years the
homes of the Phoenix and Philalathean
literary societies. which up to a few
years ago took the place of fraternities
at Lawrence as centers of social activi-
ty Membership to these organizations
was by election and they were most ex-
elusive In their tone. 1t was in these
halls that the more cultured of the stu
dents We're wont to gather of Friday
night ana gravely discuss questions of
student ethics and such propositions as
RESOLVED, that frog is heavier than
nightingale"
Now these temples of oratory are to re-
echo with the noise of rapidly rolling
pool balls and shouts: Il call the s bali
into the side pocket, playing it to kiss
off the O."
1t is presumed that knowledge of this
startling innovation will result in many
indignant communications to the faculty
Of Lawrence from alumni of the institu-
ton, to whom their connection with
certain literary society was almost as sa-
cred as church membership and the
place of meeting almost as sanctilied.
Others will supposedly turn over rest
lessly in their graves, if the news gets
to them in some manner.
President Plant and others of the
more liberal members of the Lawrence
faculty believe the institution of pool
and billiard tables, where they can be
under constant censorship, so that no
one may wax profane and tear the cloth
upon missing an easy shot would not be
bad innovation, as it might keep the
visiting the gilded palaces of sin down in
the town. where it is alleged that tobac-
co is retailed.
