Two senators from Massachusetts,
Messrs Lodge and Crane.

direct vote and the latter by the system
of pairing. Mr.. Lorimer went to Illinois
in the belief that the oil schedule would
not come up until early next week.

BOAT OWNERS PROTEST,
Madison Water Men Say That New
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 PEG.
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 OF
finding that the law compelled them tc
pay 81 each for the privilege of catch
ing a few small fish, they cancelled the
excursion

Board for More Teachers and
New Departments.

MADISON, Wis, June 29.-[Special.l
If the normal school presidents have
their wishes gratifed, there will be a
number of teachers who will find new
employment next year. Presidents of
the Milwaukee, Oshkosh, Platteville and
Stevens Point normals made their re-
ports at the semi-annual meeting of the
board of normal regents today and a
feature of every report was a request
for either more teachers or new depart
ments, which would mean the same. The
entire board is in attendance today.
1t appears from reports that the nor
NAL presidents are attempting to get
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-
lieved that the committee will report
choice of another president before tomor-
row.

PARIS, June 2S.-The attitude of Car,
dinal Andrieu of Bordeaux, who recently

endorse the acquisition of former church
property. Furthermore Mgr Gieure has
formally instructed the members of his
