Washington. Feb 10.--No senator or
for which he was elected, be appointed
to any civil office under the authority
of the United States which shall have
been created or the emoluments where
of shall have been increased, during
such time; and no person holding any
office under the United States shall be
a member of either house during his
continuance in office-Art. /, Sec. .,
Par 2, constitution Of the United
States,
Senator Philander c. Knox, one of
the foremost constitutional lawyers of
the United States and picked to be pre-
mier of Presidential Taft's cabinet
because of that high qualification, IS
liable to lose his portfolio because of
this clause in that document which ap-
parently missed his legal eye. For the
salary of secretary of state was in
creased from $4,000 to $4,000 during
the present term of the senator from
Pennsylvania.
Knox Is Nonplussed.
Today the prospective secretary of
state is nonplussed by this sudden de-
velopment When the newspapers here
called his attention to the fatal para
graph he seemed considerably sur
prised Apparently he has found no
way out, for he has declined to make
any sentiment. Whether there Will be
consultation of constitutional lawyers
in an effort to find a hole somewhere
has not yet been decided.
How far reaching the effect OF the
sudden turn in affairs may be can not
be forecasted. Men who have watched
things at the capitol during the present
administration are surprised that the
constitution should suddenly have
called halt on anybody. Most of them
are confident that Mr.. Knox will not
land the place.
A misprint in the congressional d.
rectories of the Fifty-ninth congress
held out hope for a little while. Ac-
cording to those Mr.. Knox's first term
expired in 1907, so that the increase IN
the salary of the place would have
been ordered during his first term, AS
matter of fact, however, Mr.. knoX's
first term-he succeeded the late Sen
ator Quay--expired in 1905, and the in
crease was made during his present
term.
Should he really lose the place, it
would probably scramble up the pres
c,,l f.I
for most of the selections have been
made under his personal supervision.
Former Senator Spooner, of Wlscon-
sin, President Elect Tafts first choice
for the place, is again mentioned He.
too, was one of the senators who voted
for the fatal increase, but his term
would have expired with the present
congress, and he, therefore, is eligible

DAHL ANSWERSSENA
State Treasurer Explains Status of In
surance Companies Which Have
Withdrawn from State.
MADISON, Wis, MAY 1S.-TSpecit

MADISON, Wis. May 1S.-[Special. !
State Treasurer A. Fl. Dahl sent let
ter to the Senate this morning in re-
Spouse to the resolution passed last week
J as to how he could account for approx
mateiy $50, 934.96 alleged to be due the
state from fifteen withdrawing life insur-
ance companies, saying that the attor-
ney general is now maintaining actions to
effect the collection.
Mr.. Dahl points out that the state
ment of amounts due by the companies
must be based upon signed statements
furnished by the companies. Three COM
panieS have filed statements and paid
taxes. The treasurer then names ten
other companies that have withdrawn
from the state and filed statements, but
have refused to pay taxes. Then Mr..
Dahl gives a list of the companies which
have filed no statements with the com
missioner of insurance.
The letter to the Senate says that the
attorney general is now maintaining an
action against the Columbian National
Life Insurance company, one of the with
drawing companies. to compel it to file
it's statement. The case is now pending
before the supreme court on an appeal.
The attorney general has advised
that questions are involved in the pend
ing action which will affect actions for
the collection of any taxes or fees
claimed to be due from the Withdrawing
companies and that no further action be
brought pending the final decision of the
above mentioned case" says the letter.
'The resolution adopted by your honor
able body recites that certain specific
amounts are due this state from compa-
MES from which no report has been re-
ceived by the commissioner of insurance.
While the resolution recites that the
amounts are approximate the same are
given in dollars and cents indicating a
possible source of knowledge not avail
able to officers of the state. / respect

available, should be placed at the dis

WISCONSIN NOW ON ELIGIBLE LIST

MADISON, Wis, May 18.-[Special.
One of the most earnest controversies
of the latter days of the legislative SEES
sion will be over the Wehrwein bill, No.
72OA, which proposes to remove from the
university authorities the determination
of the qualifications of applicants for adj
mission to that institution and place it in
the hands OF the state superintendent.
The Dill is now being considered by the
Senate committee on education and may
come back to the Senate the latter part
of this week.
A point which seems to be appealing
strongly to the members of the Senate
committee on education and which was
apparently overlooked in the Assembly
consideration of the measure, is the fact
that the enactment of such a law would
render it impossible for the University of
Wisconsin to participate in the many
benefits of the $15,00OOOO Carnegie foun-
dation for the improvement of teaching.
Among these benefits in the establishing
of professors of ripe age and many years
of experience to devote themselves to re-
search work and not be confined to teach
ing. This is to be accomplished by a
system of payments from this fund to
such professors as have held professional
chairs for twenty-five years or have
reached the age of IS.
Only universities of certain standard
are eligible, and the University of Wis
consin has been and is now of such
standard as to be within the require
ments, but it has been ascertained that
this university would not be within the
requirements were the Wehrwein bill to
be enacted into law.

Unknown Woman Returns Diamonds
Stolen from George A. B1oss by
Alfred Held

OSHKOSH, Wis, May 1S.-[Spe-
cial. Chief of Police Bowling today
received a ierUer from an unknown wom-
an. who signed herself, IAN Outcast
Girl" in which were enclosed two dia-
monds which the writer said were the
property Of George A. Bloss, a travelling
salesman. whose grips were stolen from
the depot here some time ago by Alfred
Held.
At the time Of the theft Bloss stated
that there were two small diamonds in
the grip that was stolen. When Held
was arrested charged with the theft the
diamonds were recovered, but were pro-
nounced not genuine by a jeweler. In
the letter to Chief Bowling today the
unknown girl stated that Held had told
her that he had removed the genuine
diamonds from their settings and re-
placed them with paste stones so that
if he were caught the sentence passed
upon him by the court would be lessened
by reason of the low value of the goods
taken.
The girl stated in her letter that when
Held felt that he was being watched by
the police that he gave the genuine
stones to her. Held was sentenced to
one year at Waupun.
