ASSEMBLY ASKS END
OF WHEAT CORNER.
Unanimously Passes Resolution Petition
ing Congress to Take Some
Action
MADISON, Wis, April 2O.-[special.

MADISON, Wis, April 90 Special. ]
Wheat corners received legislative at
tention this morning in q joint resOlu-
ton offered in the Assembly by Assem-
blyman George E. Scott in which nation
al legislation is requested for the inves-
tigation of the method of dealing not
only in wheat but in stocks upon the
great exchanges of the country and leg
islative restraining manipulation in these
deals which shall result in corners.
The interest taken in and the demand
for legislation on the subject was shown
by the fact that the resolution was Civ
Ell the unanimous endorsement of the
Assembly and at once forwarded to the
Senate. Following is copy OF the resO-
luton:
Whereas, the recent wheat deal has again
demonstrated to the American people that
even the bread supply of our land is at the
mercy of spectators, and
Whereas, the recent panic has demon
strated that it IS unwise and unsafe for OUI
country to allow the control of our great
commercial and industrial conditions to exist
in the hands OF stock gamblers without
check of any kind, and
Whereas, it is of interest to all citizens
to know the means by which the huge com,
bine of money in Wall street can be manip,
ulated and it is also the interest of the wei,
fare of all the people that the white light
of publicity should be thrown upon the
stock exchange business in general, there
fore, be it
Resolved, by the Assembly, the Senate
concurring, that we request our delegation
in Congress to use every effort to bring
about the thorough investigation of stock
exchange business in this country and that
a most rigorous and searching investiga,
ton be at once instituted of the methods
of buying and selling in these exchanges,
their relation with the banking system and
the great financial interests, and be it fur,

Resolved. that our representatives in
Congress are hereby requested to introduce
such remedial legislation into our national
Congress as will effectually check the evils
of this system; and
Resolved, that a copy of the foregoing be

FIGHT OVER DAM BILLS
SENATOR HUSTING IN STRONG DE.
TENSE OF STATES POWER.
Declares Privilege to Dam Rivers Is
Greater Than Right of Emil
nent Domain.

MADISON, Wis. April 20,-[S pe-
cial. when the bills to authorize the
Menasha Paper company to build a dam
across the Flambeau river and the john
Arpin Lumber company to dam the
Chippewa river came up in the Senate
today. Senator Gaylord made an extend
ed argument against them. Mr.. Gaylord
contended that such bills should go to the
special committee for consideration be-
cause the state has now undertaken to
establish definite policy in regard to
the disposition of water powers.
Senator Gaylord drew from Senator
Bird the admission that similar bills
would be introduced in the near future
if these bills went through and said that
the granting of these privileges would
be not merely damming Of the rivers
and streams of the state but would be an
attempt to dam the stream OF public
sentiment and progress.
Senator Husting jumped into the ar
gument with the charge that these bills
would open the food-gate to the giving
away of the states wealth. In a colo
ouy between Senators BraZeau and Hud"
nall, Mr.. Husting declared that under
the ordinance of 1877 the streams OF the
state were to be free and open to all
the people and that navigation included
boating, fishing, trapping, ice cutting
etc. He pointed out that the right to
dam a stream carries with it the right tc
overflow someone's land and that ten
years of such overflow gives the title tc
the land.
Thus. he said, the power given into the
hands of dam owners is greater than
that given to railroads in condemnation
proceedings, for relief cannot be grant,
ed those who suffer except by removal
of the dam. Mr.. Husting declared that
it was not the right of every riparian
owner to dam stream, but special
privilege, and the state has the right tc
impose such conditions as it sees fit
when anyone comes to the Legislature
to ask leave to dam navigable stream.
Senator Husting then moved that the
two bills be referred to the special com.
mittee on water power to be appointed
later.

GREEK KILLS POLE
IN RACINE FOUNDRY
Harry Skauletas Murders Joseph Jabilis
XII in Dispute Over Possession
of Iron Ladle

RACINE, Wis, April 2O.-[Special.1

clans stated that the blows produced
conclusion Of the brain and afterwards
heart failure and that was the cause of
death.

factory about six months and Skauletas
for about a year. The Greeks family
are residents of the old country. The
murdered man has one brother here.

SMUGGLERS BID HIGH.
Offer to Pay 100000 to Customs Off
Gals to Stop Prosecution, but
Are Turned Down

NEW YORK, April 20.-The two
lawyers representing the unnamed clients
who offered Harrison Osborne, solicitor
to Collector of the Port Loeb, 100000
if the customs authorities would turn
over the recently seized gowns and laces
and guarantee not to prosecute, have put
up still stronger proposition.
They are willing to admit their clients
are guilty and that the total foreign val
lie of all the goods which they expected
to get in by the use Of "sleepers" trunks
without addresses and unaccompanied by
owners) is about 100000. They are
willing to pay this amount into the cof-
fere of Uncle Sam, likewise the duty on
the finery of 60 per cent, or $4,000,
and 100000 additional, which is the
limit of the fine their clients might have
to pay if they are prosecuted criminally.
What they want is not to be prosecuted
and to get the gowns.
Naturally Collector Loeb rejected the
proposal. He refused today to say what
he thought about the persons behind it,
but it is said all the talent of the GUS
tom house will be brought into play to
discover who put up the capital for the
actual smugglers.

COIN UNDER MAINMAST.
Ancient Custom Responsible for Valua-
BILE Finds in Old Ships.

Custom DEGREES that a gold coin, or
at the very least silver, shall be put I'M
der the mainmast Of each new ship
launched. The coin bears the date of
the year when the vessel is completed, a
fact well known to collectors, who keep
an eye on ships that are likely to be
the depository Of numismatic prizes.
Thus at Liverpool some years back a
lereIct Yankee schooner, bought for a
song, yielded an 1904 dollar, the rarest
and most eagerly sought after Of all
American coins. 1t sold readily for
E15O0 $4,000, and would be worth to-
day at least double that sum, for it was

Of course, with special knowledge. A
man passing the worthless hulk on o the
day Of the sale noticed the date, 1904,

she might likely be the bearer of dollar
Of that year.
In the same way have been preserved
and recovered many of the ancient silver
Scottish pennies known as dots, which
were so tiny that twelve of them were
barely equal in value to the penny
sterling. The old Scottish shipbuilders
of the days when these coins were in cir
culation used, with characteristic ma
tional thriftiness, to put one of them be-
meath each mast they stepped" in
preference to the more valuable groat.
Owing to their small size, however,
combined with their we'll nigh infnitesi-

most dots that were in circulation were
speedily lost, leaving those that had
been placed beneath the masts to become

COFFEE DOESN'T HURT ME-"

couldn't convince me its use was con-

trouble l suffered from most Of the
time.
MY trouble finally got so bad 1 had
ttrely for three or four years. Still I
loved the coffee and wouldn't believe 1t
could do such damage.
what I needed was to quit coffee
and take nourishment in such form as
my stomach could digest.
II had read much about Postum,
but never thought it would fit my case
until one day l decided to quit coffee
and give it a trial and make sure
about it. SO I got package and care
fully followed the directions.
Soon l began to get better and was
able to eat carefully selected foods
without the aid of pepsin or other di-
gestants, and it was not long before l
was really a new woman physically.
Now 1 am healthy and sound, can
eat anything and everything that
comes along and l know this wonder
full change is all due to my having quit
coffee and got the nourishment l need
ed through this delicious Postum.
"My wonder is why everyone don't
give up the old coffee and the troubles
that go with it and build themselves up
as I have done, with Postum"
Easy to prove by 10 days trial Of
Postum in place of coffee. The reward
is big.
