MAY CHANGE LICENSE FEE
Hard Fight Expected in Legislature
Over Bill TO Increase Liquor License

Hard Fight Expected in Legislature
Over Bill TO Increase Liquor License
1t begins to look as if a bill making
the minimum fee for liquor licenses in
Wisconsin $1,000 would be reported
| fayorably for passage in the senate. If
the measure receives this recognition
it is hard to say what the fate of the
fbill will be on the senate floor, but it
| is likely the vote on the measure will
be close there
| The report on the high license bill
will probably not come in until next
week for the reason that Senator Pear
son, member of the senate state af-
fairs committee, which is to pass on the
bill, is absent
On his vote will depend the fate of
| the measure as far as majority report
of the committee is concerned. The
committee has taken a vote n his alb
sence upon the bill and was equally
divided upon the measure, Senators
Barker and Marsh being for the bill
and Senators Page and Burke against
lit.
The measure for minimum license
fee Of $1,000 was a clause in an omni-
bus bill on the excise question, which
was introduced into the legislature by
Senator Barker. The bill had numerous
other provisions, among them being
clauses making a prohibitive territory
against the licensing of saloons of one
mile from the university and two and
half miles from the grounds of the
National Soldiers home in Milwaukee.
These clauses were stricken from the
bill by the committee in the meeting
where the vote was taken on the high
er clause on the measure.
Another clause in the bill provides
for a division Of the license free money
between the municipalities issuing the
license aud the counties in which those
municipalities are located, upon the
theory that the counties support the
penal and charitable Institutions and
therefore should be entitled to por-
ftion of the liquor license money.
tt il understood that this clause in
the bill viii receive a favorable report
from the committee. The fight over
the Barker, bill on the floor of the SEN
ate bids fair to be almost as interest
ing as the county option battle.

FOR RADICAL CHANGES
Proposed Amendments to Game
Laws will Make Many Changes
in Hunters Schedule
T0BEALL0WED BUT ONE DEER

!
/ Radical changes in existing game
laws, tending to make restrictions uni-
form. in various parts of the state and
| to conserve game in Wisconsin, are
provided in the blanket fish and game
bill, which is practically completed and
will be reported to the assembly for
passage this week. One deer and a
uniform season for game fish through
out the state are distinctive features
of the bill.
The most important provision of the
new bill is that the season for game
fish shall open on the same. day il. every
part of the state, June | being the time
set. This section, however, does not re-
move the ban on certain lakes in the
state which have been closed to fisher
men for term of years.
Under the old laws the pike season
opened May % and the bass season
June 10, while bass fishing began
at one date in Dane county and at an
other in Milwaukee county, etc, etc.
A uniform bird shooting provision is
another important section of the bill.
1t provides that prairie chickens,
grouse and partridge may be shot after
Sept. 10 in all counties of the state.
The ban is removed on Ashland, Bay
| field, Douglas, Outagamie, Marinette,
Brown, Lacrosse and some other coun-
| ties where prairie chicken shooting has
been prohibited. Provision is made for
the closing of the chicken and grouse
season Oct. ], while partridge may be.
hunted up to Dec. /.
The season for all classes Of game
which can be found under existing laws
will open ten days later than for sew
eral years past, the new date being
Sept. TO- so the man who goes out for
ducks and sees prairie chicken or a
grouse may shoot it lawfully instead
lof unlawfully.
Deer hunters throughout the state
will be interested in learning that their
license this fall, if this bill is passed,
will contain put one coupon, instead of
two, as for years past. In an effort
/ to conserve the deel IN the northern
woods the committee decided to limit
each hunter to one Only the expert
lenced hunters will suffer under this
provision, as the modern sportsman who
drops a deer considers himself in luck
Fand is content to start back to the city
with the carcass at once.
The open season for deer remains at
twenty days, from Nov. 10 to so.
With3the certainty that there viii be

LAKE STEAMER
RAMMED; IA DIE
Vessel Loaded With Ore Is
Sent to Bottom.
FOG CAUSE OF COLLISION

Within Three Minutes Of Time Boats
Catch Sight of Each Other the John
3. cowe Sinks With Gaping Hole In
Her Side-Some Members of Her
Crew Leap Into the Water and Are
Rescued - Others Are Hauled to
Safety by Means of Life Line.
Three minutes after the steamers
Isaac M. Scott and John B. Cowle had
collided in Lake Superior, about a mile
and a half off Whitefish point light
house, the Cowle had gone to the bot.
tom in fifty fathoms Of water, carrying
with her fourteen members of her
crew.
The Scott, although badly damaged
about the bow, put back to this port,
where she arrived with part of the
crew of the Cowle.
Fog Cause of Collision.
A heavy fog was responsible for the
disaster The Scott, on her maiden
trip to the head of the lakes, had just
passed the light at Whitefish point,
and Strengthened out her course up tbs
lake when suddenly the John B. Cowle
lOomed up through the fog, broadside
On to the Scott and. only few feet
away. The Cowle was downbound with
5000 tons of iron ore in her hold.
The ships were so close that it was
impossible to avoid a collision, and the
scott crashed into the side of the heav-
lily laden Cowle. For fifteen feet the
bow of the Scott penetrated the side
OF the Cowle Tons of water rushed
into the great opening and quickly the
Cowle went to Superior's bed.
Immediately after the collision line
waS thrown from the deck of the Scott
to The forward deck of the Cowle, and
by this means three members of the
crew escaped to the deck of the up
bound boat
Others of the crew who were saved
jumped from the sinking steamer into
the lake, some without life preservers,
and were picked up by the Scott and
the steamer Goodyear, which was
short distance astern of the Scott when
the crash occurred.
CowIe's Captain Survivor.
Captain Rogers of the Cowle was
one of those who were rescued by the
Goodyear, and he was taken on up the
lake by that steamer.
The Scott received serious injuries
which probably would have sent her to
the bottom if she had been loaded. The
forward compartment was stove in.
The dead are listed as follows:
John McKernain, engineer, Brooklyn,

Buffalo; MILFORD Emerson, wheelsman,

FORTY MILE RATE BY WRIGHT

total distance of about three and half
miles.
