Otto-PeoI Litigation One of Most
Important Issues i'm State.
The decision of the Supreme Court
In the case of Eli OFT, appellant, VS..
C. o. Boring. executor, ETC., respondent,
ends noted action and one of the
most important issues ever tried in
the State of Wisconsin. In the year
1887 Franklin ]. Pool. tasn conducting
a retail store in Chicago, went to Ash
land, Offering Eli OFT salary of SIS
a week and a fourth interest in the
Ashland business when he would De
able to draw out $4,000, after paying
all expenses. Mr.. Pool died in 1904,
after prospecting to such an extent that
he drew out $4,000 in 1898. Shortly
after Pools death, Mr.. Oft presented a
claim for $4,000 on the agreement
which was made in 1887. Judge Bel
den's decision was against OFT, but it
was reversed by the Supreme Court
The executor of the Pool estate then
commenced an action in equity and
the Circuit Court granted perpetual
injunction restraining OFT from en-
forcing the Supreme Courts Judgment,
but Otis attorneys took an appeal and
in February last the Supreme Court
reversed Judge Helms opinion grant
ing the restraining order and dismiss
ed the executors action with costs.
In the meantime, the Circuit Court
had found the amount due Mr.. OFT
about $2S,27344; the referee in the
trial court found the amount to be due
OFT $1S,02306. Both sides appealed to
the Supreme Court, the plaintiff claim
ing that he should recover $29. 2N so,
with interest from December 16, 1904,
the defendant claiming the plaintiff
should recover $S,76275 with interest
from the same date. The decision
Tuesday affirms the referee in his find
ings and held that OFT was entitled to
recover $1S,O23.06 with interest due
FROM December 16, 1904.

Findorf Plant Totally Destroyed

tract for the interior finishing of the
new east wing of the capitol, and all
of the high-grade lumber and mill
work to be used for that purpose was
burned. The loss of this material alone
is approximately 100000. Only the pre-
vious day carload of mahogany and
half carload of costly cherry lumber
was received and this also went up in
flames. Findorf carried comparatively
little insurance and it is believed he is
financially ruined by the disaster. The
State IS protected against the loss by
Findorf's bondsmen and should the
capitol commission insist upon exact
fulfillment of the contract, it will cost
the bondsmen pretty penny. AL
ready there is talk of introducing a
bill by which more time may be grant
ed to Findori in the completion of the
contract, work upon which was to have
been begun within a week or two.
Sparks from the burning building
threatened the storage tanks of the
Standard Oil Company, half a block
distant, and innumerable small blazes
were started over the ward.

Assembly Backs Governors Veto.
On the strength Of Governor J. o.

bill, the measure, known as TIA. was
put to death in the Assembly Thurs
day morning The veto came in from
the Executive once at the previous
nights session but the reading of the
document was put of until morning
on vote of the body. The veto puts

agents of surety bond companies legal
right to combine Cor the purpose of
gathering statistics. and making rates.

instance of surety bond agents in Mil

controvert the Sherman antitrust

Assembly so that il might vote on the
measure, but failed to explain care
fully just what the question was, the
subject being put by number only.
When the vote had progressed through

was given. He said that the bill was
designed to form and to legalize an
unlawful combine and that the Gov

Some comment was excited In the
case of the Republic on account OF the
fact that the boat equipment was not
large enough to carry all persons on
board. 1t is doubtful whether this is
the case In any ship carrying a large
number of passengers.
The largest lifeboats have capacity
of from forty to fifty people, says the
American Review of Reviews, and II
the total complement be taken at 2.40O
1t will be seen that from fifty to sixty
of such boats will be required. The
question arises how such an outfit of
ordinary boats could be provided.
The folding boat in its latest forms
seems to meet this demand to some ex-
tent, but still leaves much to be de-
sired, and life RATS are difficult to
handle. The ordinary Efeboat of to-
day is practically the same as for a
number Of years IN the past. The
means of launching the lifeboat, how
ever, have been improved.
The old davit had many drawbacks.
Most modern ships are generally fitted
with some improved type Of apparatus
for this purpose. Releasing gears Of
various types are also now on the
market.

BY vote of 81 to 20. the Assembly
refused to submit the Mary Ann
amendment to the primary law to
vote of the people in 1910, and the
bill was then refused engrossment
The Mary Ann bin became feature
before the Assembly when the lower
House reconsidered the vote on which
it had adopted the amendment to sub
NIT the question to the people. This
brought the whole issue before the
Assembly. Mcconnell led the debate
in favor of the bill. Mr.. Twesme
spoke against the bill. BY means of
a chart held up before the Assembly,
he attempted to demonstrate that this
plan would not give mathematical
majority. Assemblyman George p.
Hambrecht said danger lurked in the
bill He said some of the greatest
crimes in history had been committed
under the guise of reform. There was
no sentiment for such bill He had
received no letters favoring 1t. By
means iof chart he showed that a
minority, by means of deals, might
dominate the political policies of the
State. MIR. Hull said ii would be a
great assistance to the primary law.
Mcconnell in reply to the attacks on
the bill, said that during the past ten
years every step of the election re-
forms had been bitterly fought. He
thought the people should be entitled
to decide the question themselves,

Chicago Scar of Labor, Is Charged
With Extortion.


Martin B. Skinny Madden. presi-
dent Of the Associated Building Trades
Unions of Chicago and generally re-
ferred to as the local Car of Labor"
was placed on trial the other day be-
fore Judge McSurly. charged with the
extortion of $1,000 from Joseph Klicka
for settling a strike. NJ. j. Boyle,
business agent of the Electrical Work
ers' Union, and f. A. Pouchot, chair
man of the business agents of the
general organization, also are defend
ants in the case.
Indictments of Madden and his asso-
ciates followed years of innuendo
among contractors concerning the call
ing and settling of strikes. Complaint
was not made officially. however, until
a few months ago. when the contract
ors who are building the new Chicago
& Northwestern railway station, told
States Attorney Wayman that an at
tempt had been made to extort money
from them on pain of a strike being
called on the work. The investigation
which ensued was followed by the in
dictment on which trial was begun.
Madden's career as a labor leader
has been uniformly successful. He
rides in his own automobile and for
years his word has been law among
the majority of trades unionists of Chi
cago.
