Split in the Committee.

G. H Wayland of Appleton was the
first witness Tuesday before the SEN
atorial primary investigation commit.
tee when it convened after resting
since Friday.
Mr.. Wayland said he worked in Ste
phenson's interest in the campaign at
the solicitation of Mr.. Edmonds. He
received $1,19934 from Mr.. Edmonds,
and during two months time spent in
the campaign used up all but $211.69,
which he was allowed as salary. Mr..
Wayland said none Of the money was
paid to men running for the state
legislature.
T. F. Reynolds testified that of 5000
he received from the Stephenson cam
paign fund he paid $100 to the editor
of the Oconto Falls Herald, and that
the other $100 went for distributing ad-
vertising, securing mailing lists, treats,
etc. None of the money was used cor
ruptly to his knowledge.
Word has gone around that a split
between the assembly and senate
members of the investigating commit
tee is imminent. The prediction comes
about because the three senators on
the committee insist on going ahead
with the Stephenson inquiry while the
five assemblymen, headed by w. M.
Bray, insist on moving along to the
other senatorial candidates. 1t was
said the split was certain to come and
that serious complications would re-
suit.

HUNDREDS SEE THREE DROWN.
Duck Hunters Swept Over Cedar
River Falls at Waterloo.

Waterloo, Ia, Mar. 29.-While sew
eral hundred persons watched, pow
erless to help, Christ Anderson and
Henry Bothman, duck hunters, cling
ing to an upturned boat, from which
Frank Bentz had already jumped and
drowned, went over the falls in the
Cedar river yesterday and drowned.
The three men tried to cross the river
just above the falls and the boat upset.
Their screams for help attracted a
crowd, but no one could do anything
to aid the doomed men while the up
turned boat raced wildly toward the
brink of the falls. BentZ, who was a
laborer, struck out for the shore and
swan valiantly until his strength gave
out and he sank when almost at the
bank of the river. The other two men
went over the falls and did not re-
appear on the face of the water.
Anderson was assistant manager of
the Herrick Refrigerator Company and
Bothman was a saloonkeeper. The
boat was recovered a mile below the
falls
