The Investigation

The promoters of the Senatorial
primary probe intimated the exist
ence of widespread political cor
ruption in Wisconsin, and sought
to nullify the decision of the people
as expressed at the September pr1-
mary election. An investigation
was ordered that has now been IN
progress for more than three
months, and nothing of an extra
ordinary nature has been brought
to light. It has been shown that in
the political campaign of last year
money was freely used by candl-
dates for office, just as it has been
in every political campaign during
a number of decades past. The
anti-Stephenson forces who are
pushing the probe have made sew
eral vain attempts to clothe the in
vestigation with a sensational char
acter, but it has in reality proven a
comparatively tame affair. 1t
would be strange indeed, if half a
dozen shrewd lawyers, raking the
state with a fine tooth comb, did
not gather in something that even
the game wardens and the local po-
litical managers would not yolunta-
rily advertise, but as we view It the
investigation has thus far failed to
produce evidence that will dislodge
Mr.. Stephenson from his seat in
the Senate. If the investigators
were now in possession of evidence
to accomplish their purpose-the
undoing of Senator Stephenson
there would be no occasion for their
prolonginG their investigation to an
indefinite period, as has been pro-
posed.

During lucid interval the House
of Representatives placed iron ore
upon the free list. The Senate,
however, in the interest of the steel
trust, has so amended the Payne
tariff bill as to impose duty of Is
cents ton on iron ore. The Senate
has done this with a view to protect
ing the steel trust from home COM
petition, and in this way seeks to
perpetuate monopoly in the iron
and steel industry of this country,

Violin and Piano Recital

Mr.. ]. E. Howard, of Hudson.
has a number of pupils here in the
city to whom he is giving instruc-
ton on the violin, and Mrs. Elsie
Gates Fletcher has large class re-
ceiving instruction on the piano.
On Friday evening these pupils
joined in a recital at the home of
President Brier to an invited audi
ence of their parents and most init
mate friends. The entertainment
was under the direction of the two
teachers and consisted of violin
trios with piano accompaniment,
duets on violin and piano, and sew
eral piano solos.
Some of the pupils are but chill
dren and the ability to render rather
difficult music in an accurate and
pleasing manner, as shown by the
several performers, was the occa-
sion of much surprise to many of
the audience and affords the best
possible testimony to the excellence
of the instruction they are receiving.
At the close IF the recital Mr..
Howard and Mrs. Fletcher were
heartily congratulated on the sue
cess of the performance and the
manifest progress their pupils are
making. The following program

In view of the fact that Col.
James A. Frear, Secretary of State,
is being favorably mentioned as a
Republican candidate for Governor
it is interesting to note that during
the last campaign he is reported as
having declared his continued al
1egiance to Senator La Toilette.
State Senator ]. H. Stout of Me-
nomonie, who is understood to be
in sympathy with Senator Stephen
son, has also been suggested as a
suitable parsonage to push for
gubernatorial honors. However
desirable party harmony may be, It
will not be a staple commodity in
the next primary campaign.

.LAHAINALUNA
CASE AGAIN

As the result of advices received
on Tuesday Attorney General Hemen-
yesterday Attorney General Hemen,
way expects to present the Territory s
side of the Lahainaluna case before
the United States Supreme Court
about the middle of November. At
torney Wilmington, who represents
the Lahainaluna side, will move that
the case be advanced on the calendar
as soon as the session of the court
opens on October II and it will not
be opposed by the Territory.
This is the second time that the
Lahainaluna case has gone to Wash
ington, being taken there first on an
appeal from the decision favorable
to the Territory on demurrer. The
local court was then reversed. The
case was then tried on its merits
here, though Wilmington objected to
the Territory's filing an answer, and
was won by the government. 1t goes
now on a straight appeal.
Attorney General Hemenway has
received the printed transcript of the
record in the case from Washington
and will now perfect his case,
which he seems quite confident of
winning.

life and festivity last night when the
annual dance of the Oahu Polo Club
in honor of the visiting polo teams

dance in Honolulu which has been
more generally attended than the polo
ball, and last night was certainly no
exception The hotel was beautiful

occasion, the dancing taking place IN
the dining room over the beach. Lo-

ELEVEN PLAYERS MAKE 100 RUNS
Four of These are Majors, Crawford,
Mcintyre, Tsnney and Wagner.

Few are the ball players who can
garner 100 runs in one season. OF
go leagues only Il possess a man in
the century class. Others come close
to that number, but less than dozen
out of nearly a possible three dozen
managed to negotiate the 100 tallies
In two major organizations there are
four 100-run getters, more than one
third the total number, while the ma
iors compared to the minors, constitute
but 1-16th Of the leagues whose rec
ords are preserved The National and
American leagues divided honors, each
having two, Crawford amt Mcintyre Of
Detroit both got around the required
number of times. with a few to spare
Fred Tenney of New York scored 10l
times while John Wagner of Pitts
burg came across the plate just an
even hundred. Mcintyre and Tenney
head the batting lists. while Wagner
and Crawford smite in the sluggers
position.
The value of something beside speed
and swatting ability is shown striking
ly in comparing the records of Cobb
and Crawford. Cobb had a batting av-
erage of 1924, Crawford's was .311.
Cobb made 1873 hits and Crawford had
four less Cobb stole 80 bases and
Crawford 43. Cobb made four homers
and Crawford only three more. How
ever. Crawford ran bases with greater
Judgment if with less speed and man
aged to get around the plate 102 times,
While Cobb came around on " IS times.
To be sure, the Detroit club batted Nc

thus giving Crawford the benefit, from
a scoring standpoint. of Cobb's fire.
uuent hits. Cobb biffed 1873 times with
safety but on the other hand Ross
man, who followed Cobb, hit the ball
for something like 154 times In only
1873 games. Rossman's proportion was
not nearly SO good as Cobb's, yet. TAX
ing the base running of Crawford and
Cobb into consideration. these men
were about on an equal footing.
A little perusal and study of these
figures brings out the question: What
became of Cobb when he got to base p
the frequency with which he tried to
make doubles out of singles and triples
out of doubles and was thrown out
at base, cut off a lot of chances of his
scoring Cobb is a great base run
ner, and one of the speediest men in
the league. but frequently he overesti-
mated his ability to beat out some
strong-armed thrower Speed and hits,
apparently are not the sole requisites
of run getting.
