A. w. Welman of Madison left today
TO join his brother, Walter Wellman, in

After all possible preparations have

Committee.
LOOK FOR HOT FIGHT IN SENATE.

MADISON, Wis, May ESPECIAL. ]
-Assemblyman NJ. j. Cleary of Blanch-
ardville, chairman of the lower house
steering committee, renewed his cam
paign for early closing yesterday. He
introduced a joint resolution limiting the
introduction of new bills by committees
to next Tuesday, May II, and also cut
ting off the introduction of any resolu-
tons designed to amend the constitution.
This move is interpreted as an indication
that the end of the session of 1909 actual
ly is in sight Hardened veterans of the
Assembly and Senate say that adjourn
ment will take place before June 10.
Mr.. Cleary says there is no reason why
the session should not end by the last
of this month.
Waiting for Reports.
Apropos of the discussion of adjourn
ment there also is a revival of discus
sion of the possible report OF the old
joint senatorial investigating committee.
1t generally is accepted that the Assem-
bly, members of the committee have come
no nearer to an agreement on their re-
port and that there will be at least three
and possibly four reports from the five
lower house members of the committee
that Drought out the hrst facts bearing
on Isaac Stephenson's expenditure of
more than $4,000 to retain his seat in
the United States Senate. It is under
stood that Assemblymen Bray, Ham
brecht and ingalls, will present reports,
the belief being that Assembly men Whit
man and Chapple will agree with the
Bray or ingalls, reports.
Breakers Ahead in Senate.
Two measures We're advanced by the
Assembly yesterday that will inspire
some hot discussion when they reach the
deGherative Senate. One is the Weir
vein bill taking from the University of
Wisconsin faculty the power of making
up the list of accredited high schools:
the other is the kull pure food bill Both
bills went through the lower house with
out prolonged discussion and thus the
calm consideration of the measures will
fall to the upper house. The calm dis
cussion, it is predicted, will develop into
not harangue and it is probable that
both bills will leave the senators in al
tered condition. The Wehrwein bill is
slated for death when it reaches the Sen
ate the upper body being of the belief.
it is said, that the important matter of
setting standards for the university
should not be left to an elective officer.

DETECTIVES ARE SENT TO SCENE.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis. May 10, 1909.
For the third time in six weeks, a
masked and armed hghwayman has
held up and robbed the crew of Mil
waukee street car. At 1920 o'clock this
morning while a Walnut street ear was
waiting at the end of the run opposite
the entrance Of Washington park,
young bandit forced Conductor Charles
Pung and Motorman John kuchenreuter
to hand over their money and ear checks
at the point of revolver. As in the
last street car robbery, the highwayman
escaped through the park.
Twelfth Street Car Robbed.
On Sunday morning April 4, a masked
bandit, dressed in Prince Albert coat.
held up the crew of a Twelfth street ear
Mt the north city limits. Conductor Peter
Roth drew his revolver and exchanged
shots with the bandit and was wounded
in the arm, the bandit escaping. Pre-
ylously, ON March IS, Walnut street
car was held up at the same place as this
mornings robbery. In each instance
the robber forced the crew to throw up
their hands and then ordered the conduc-
tor 10 put his money and tickets in his
cap. After securing the booty. the rob-
Der backed out the door. covering the
crew meanwhile with n revolver In no
Instance was the sum secured greater
than $50 and that was the amount taken
this morning.
Work of One Man
From the description given by the
crew, it is surmised that all three rob
berries are the work of one man. The
method and mannersms OF the robber
seem TO have been identical i'll each
case. The bandit who held up Pung
this morning wore a full black mask,
with cloth hanging from chin to below
his shoulders and tied far back behind
the ears, so that no portion of his head
was visible. \ hat and raincoat com
pleted the disguise.
While backing out through the rear
door the bandit said to Conductor pung:
