Stevens Point normals made their re-
ports at the semi-annual meeting of the

some kind of uniformity into the differ
ent schools. Some have kindergarten
departments and others have manual
training departments, but not all of the
schools have all of the departments
This afternoon the report was heard
from Whitewater, Superior, River Falls
and La Crosse normals.
The resignation of President Living
stone of Platteville normal lies on the
table awaiting action, but it is not be-

OF GREEN BAY PRISONER.

That John Smith Was Beaten the
Day Before He Died.

GREEN BAY, Wis. June 29-[Spe-
ciaL l-Guards Wallace Young and Hen

was held here today in Judge Macey's
court to ascertain the cause of the death
OF John Smith, the prisoner who died at
the lSc0nSln state refOrmatOry on Sat-

kicked and struck the day before his
death and further that they heard a
prisoner tell of seeing him roughly han
died and ill-treated.
=, Guard Young testified he had seen
Smith, who had complained of being
SICK, on numerous occasions in the cage.
The cage was described as being made
OF iron and just high enough for man
of ordinary size to stand erect in and
turn around in.
At the request of Supt c. w. Bow

PESTS DAMAGE CROPS.
Grasshoppers in Northern Michigan Are
Doing Incalculable Harm to
Hay and Grain.

MARQUETTE. Mich, July 1.-ISpe-
cial. l-Grasshoppers are more numerous
in this region than for many years, and
they are doing great damage to crops
and pastures. Hay in particular is suf-
fering, and some fields will not be cut
at all this season, owing to the rayages
of the insects. Oats also are being de-
vastated. Not only the high lands, but
the swampy areas are reported to be
literally alive with the grasshoppers, and
farmers say that they have never seen
the insects greater in number or more
vGracious. The presence of the pest in
such formidable legions is ascribed to
the exceptionally dry weather expert
enced during the months of May and
June There was deplorable absence
Of rain and dew, i'll consequence of
which the breeding of the insects was
much facilitated. Farmers in some 10
calities are complaining of the ravages
of potato bugs, also. They report these
insects more numerous than at any time
the past decade and say the pests are
eating the vines as fast as the leaves
appear above gronud. The losses in
various instances will be very consider
able.

BlCKFORD IN DENIAL,
KeIo1natory DlSclplnarlan Says
Charges Made by Former Green Bay
Prisoners Are Untrue.

GREEN BAY, Wis. June 3O.-TSpc-
cial. 10. f. Bickford, disciplinarian of
the state reformatory here was called
to the stand this morning to testify in
the inquest being held to ascertain the
cause of the death of John Smith, \
former prisoner. Mr.. Bickford entered
a general denial much as Supt. Bowron
did yesterday of the alleged cruelties at
the institution. He stated that records
would show when prisoners were pun
ished and that if treatment such as for
mer guards and inmates testified was
given, those things had been unknown
to him.
Webb and Mercer told of seeing the
water cure turned on John Smith and
other prisoners. The hose was turned
on Smith Il month before death, Webb
said. Webb claims that Guard Frank
Boyd threatened him this morning be
fore he left the reformatory by saying
that if he told too much at the inquest
he would be reported for every move
he made and he would have no chances
for n parole.
The three members of the board of
control here will probably go to Milwau-
kee tonight and elect their officers there
tomorrow.

BOAT OWNERS PROTEST,
Fish and Game Law Imposes a
Hardship Upon Them.

MADISON, Wis, June 29.-[SpeciaL
Madison boat livery owners and citi-
zens generally are up in arms over the
discovery that the new fish and game
law requires the payment Of 81 license
fee by all nonresident fishermen.
One boat owner alone, estimates his
loss for the coming season at over $500
and declares that nine-tenths of the peo-
pie from outside the state who patronize
his livery are content with still fishing
and catch only the small fish which
are scarcely protected, if at all, by the
new fish and game law.
AS an instance of this he cites the
case of a Freeport party of about 400
persons who had contemplated holding
an excursion to Madison today but on
finding that the law compelled them to
pay 81 each for the privilege of catch
ing few small fish, they cancelled the
excursion.

DIRECTING KILOGRAMS POUR IN.
Protests Against Corporation Tax AL
most Swamp the Senators.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 80
A flood of kilograms, nearly equaling
that which swamped the wires during
the anti-railroad pass fight, is pouring in
upon senators in opposition to the cor
pOration tax amendment.
Most OF the kilograms come from per-
sons interested in building and loan as
sociations, but practically every charac-
ter of corporate operations is represent
ed. Most of the senators received from
twelve to fifty kilograms Tuesday, and
some at least 100. 1t became evident
that there is an organized movement
throughout the country in opposition to
the corporation tax amendment.
In view of the vehement tone of the
protests and the fact that the kilograms
are from business men highly respected
i'll their communities, some senators who
are pledged to vote for the administra-
ton programme said that they are feel
ing some concern as to the wisdom of
their course. If it were not for the
Presidents support oe the proposition it
probably could not be adopted.

PITT made a sensational address be-

and induced it to reject his petition.
The incident has stirred up consider
able excitement here, as PITT is one of
the best known men in the city and for
years was city engineer.
