Madison, Wis.,, March 9.-One Of the
interesting political figures in Wis
consln state affairs today is L. H. Ban
croft, the present speaker of the
house OF representatives. Mr.. Ban.
croft is a lawyer by profession and is
making good politically. This is his
second term in the legislature and his
constituents have so far recognized
his ability as an orator and leader
that they have made him their
speaker.
Mr.. Bancroft first attracted atten-
ton several years ago when he was
just entering upon his career as a law
yer, by fighting for the liberty of a
Polish girl Rose Zeoldoske, who hal
been charged with poisoning a physi-
clans wife and later his sweetheart
because of love for him. Young Ban
croft fought this case through all
the courts, only to meet repeated fail
ureS at every trial. After every ay-
enue of legal recourse had apparently
failed he finally secured her pardon
from the state board. His tenacity and
determination combined with his ora
torical and persuasive abilities at
oiiSo iHeuo I'LL reputation 10 DC
envied. Later when Senator LaFoi-
lette was attempting to push some of
his laws through the legislature, Ban
croft appeared as a citizen before the
legislature to a committee of the
whole and so ably defended the bills
that he attracted state wide attention
and was at once appointed assistant
attorney general by Attorney General
M. NJ. Sturdevant
Mr.. Bancroft's ability as an orato-
is very marked. His home is in Rich
land Center, and he is a dominant fac
tor in this section of the state

CUBA IS FREE AGAIN;
ISLAND CELEBRATES
Governor Magoon Turns Reins of
Government Over to PreSi-
dent Gomez.
ELABORATE CEREMONY HELD.
New Executive Is Leader of Liberal
Party and Choice of People-His
Regime to Be Progressive

A new era of Cuban independence
dawned Thursday when the affairs of
the island, which have been admins
:ered by American officials for more
than two years as n result of the rev.
olution against former President Palma
in 1906, were formally transferred To
the newly-elected native executives.
The coming of this new day of Cuban
liberty was signaled by Il general dis
play of fireworks, the velvet blackness
of the tropical midnight being set
aflame by screeching rockets and bombs
which sent down showers of golden
rain and cleaning, vari-colored lights.
The streets of Havana, which were
brilliantly Illuminated and garlanded
with chains of incandescent bulbs, were
morning and carnival spirit every
where prevailed.
Thousands of people gathered around
the Clerks Club throughout the night.
where inaugural and farewell balls
were held jointly in honor of Presi-
dent Gomez and Vice President Zayas
and Gov. MagOon- An interesting cere-
mony was the decorating of the old
battleship Maine with elaborate
| wreaths of garlands and hoisting at
half mast ON the protruding military
| top of a new American flag. This idea
originated among the crew Of the new
battleship Maine. which now is in the
| harbor, who subscribed $50 for the
flowers and green's.
President Gomez was escorted from,
| his home to the palace by detachments
| Of troops and the rural guard. He rode
in the same carriage with Gov. Ma
COON, who called for him with native
military guard of honor. The ceremo
| MES of Inauguration at the palace were
| brief Precisely at noon President
Gomez stepped out upon the balcony
overlooking the Plaza de Armas and
took the oath faithfully to enforce the
| laws of the republic and defend the
constitution. The oath was admins
tered by the Chief Justice of the Su
prone Court. Afterward President
Gomez made a short address.
Jose Miguel Gomez assumes poweE
as leader of the Liberal Coalition par
| ty and as choice of the people at tho
elections last fall. The Cubans always
| held it against former President Palma
that he was the choice Of the Ameri
can government. No such complaints
can be made in the case of Gomez, FOL
the Americans studiously avoided any
thing resembling advice or suggestion
as to the candidates or the platform.

while endeavoring to escape from the bur-
row. Rand crawled into the tunnel near

get out again the police discovered signs
indicating that the man who had twice

There he obtained blankets, food, maya
