COURT DENIES DUKE
WRIT OF MANDAMUS.
Judge Martin Lueck Rules That Sus-
pended University Student Has No
Redress in Court.

MADISON, Wis, June S.-[Special.l
That Col. Henry G. Duke, real estate
dealer of Madison, is not entitled to re-
admission to the state university was the
opinion of Judge Martin Lueck of Ju-
neau today.
Duke was dismissed from the univer-
Sity and sought reinstatement first from
the faculty and later from the board of
regents. When both governing bodies of
the university refused to admit him,
Duke sought writ of mandamus from
the circuit court to show cause why he
should not be reinstated. Judge E. Ray
Stevens called in Judge Lueck to hear
the case who decided the case today.
Il am of the opinion and hold that
the record in the case does not disclose
a situation from which it can be found
that the action of the university officials
was such as to authorize this court to
interfere with the discretionary power Of
the officers of the university in respect
to the management of the university"
says the opinion. THE petition for a
peremptory writ of mandamus is de-
nied."
The Duke case has attracted great at
tention all over the country as it was
one of the first attempts of a student
to establish his rights to attend state
university by court action.

IOWA SENATOR OPPOSES INCREASE
OVER HOUSE RATES, URGED
BY COMMITTEE.
TAKES A FLING AT WARREN.
Calls Montana Member, Reputed Owner
Of Many Sheep, Greatest Shep-
herd Since Abraham.
ASKS FOR AID vALoREM TARIFF.

WASHINGTON, b. e., June s.
last night, the Senate today began con-
sideration of the wooden schedule.
Taking up the first amendment pro-
posed by the committee on finance, Sena-
tor Dolliver opposed the increase over
the House rates. This amendment pro-
posed a return to the Dingley rates OH
top waste, rowing waste, etc, or an in
crease of from 20 to 80 cents per pound.
This increase was in accordance with
the finance committees settled purpose
of re-establishing the Dingley rates
throughout the wooden schedule.
Warren Defends High Rates.
In defense of the higher rates Senator
Warren, who is considered an expert in
the matter of wool, explained the propri-
ETY. of maintaining the Dingley duties.
Referring to the fact that the Wyoming
senator is the reputed owner of a great
many sheep, Senator Dolliver declared
that Senator Warren is ''the greatest
shepherd since Abraham"
Disavowing the personal ownership OF
a single sheep, cow or horse, except a
horse he keeps for personal use, Mr..
Warren added that he is a stakeholder in
companies engaged in such industries as
he is in railway companies.
Favors Ad Valorem Rates.
Mr.. Dolliver had read several me-
MORALS of carded wool manufacturers,
asking for an ad valorem duty as the
just method for protecting all parties In
ested in the wool business.
Senators Warren and SmOot main
tanned that the admission into this coun-
try of top waste and kindred woods sup
planted just that amount of American
WOOL Mr.. Warren insisted that rags
and shoddy would come into the United
States under the lower duty advocated
by the senator from Iowa.
$50 long," responded Mr.. Dolliver, AS
many people are obliged to go without
wooden clothing in cold weather, it is
better to have the old and short wool OBJ
tanned from such rags to make their
clothing than to have no wooden clothing
at ALL"
Smoot Answers Dolliver.
Meeting the statement of Mr.. Dolliver
concerning the closing down of wooden
mills because of the high duty on these
forms of wool consumed by them, Mr..
Smoot declared that as a former manu-
facturer of wooden woods, whose mill had
closed down, he knew the industry had
largely expired because of a change of
fashion for wooden clothing.

REMOVES QUACK GRASS.
st. Croix County Farmer Invents Ma
chine Which He Claims Will
Destroy Pest.

HUDSON, Wis, June S.-[Special.1 /
A farmer named Fitzpatrick, residing a
few miles southeast of Hudson, has in
vented a quack grass machine which
promises to rid the country of this pest.
Fitzpatrick's machine destroys the
grass, roots and all, and his invention
bids fair to transform him from a poor
farmer to a very wealthy man. Quack
grass has become great foe of the
farmer, and it has been an impossibility
to get rid of it. The roots form a close
network through the ground and sap its
vitality, and many fine farms have been
practically ruined by it. Fitzgerald's
machine pulverizes the ground and re-
moves every root

CHICAGO, H., June S.-The government
report due today giving the condition of
the wheat crop of the United States, June

market during early trading today. Many
traders were of the opinion that the report
would be of bullish nature and on this
theory bought freely at the start, helping to
cause an advance of more than 1c on initial
trades The market was also affected by
the weekly foreign crop summary which
claimed that drought still prevailed in Ger.

however, held within the opening range.

Bold Chinese Brigands.

Whole districts in the province of XII
angsu are reported to be terrorized by
brigands. East of Yaowan, on the Grand
Canal, close ON 100 cases of kidnapping
have occurred during the last winter.
Scholars on the road to school, rich men
and even men worth only $50 or 500.
have been caught and held for ransom.
The prices paid have ranged from $40
to $1,000. Schools are being closed, and
men are afraid to go from home. In
Pichow the conditions are said to be
worse. Recently man who was acting
as spy on the robbers was found by
the roadside with his heart cut out. The
hrigands have established a regular tar
iff of blackmail While the supineness of
the authorities is largely responsible,
their difficulties are increased by the fact
that the people compound with the rob-
bers and agree not to report and prose-
cute on the promise of immunity.-lIon-

NEW LINER IN NEW YORK.
Cincinnati, One of Finest Steamers
Afoat, Ends Maiden Voyage.

NEW YORK. June 8.-The new
Hamburg American line steamer Gin
cinnati arrived in port Sunday on it's
maiden voyage from Hamburg. The

finest leviathans that have arrived on
this side of the Atlantic in many years.
The interior of the vessel is beautifully
finished III oak, mahogany, walnut and
rosewood. and the furnishings of the
staterooms have never been excelled
The landsman may form an idea of the
immensely of the Cincinnati from the
fact that in addition to a capacity for
$4,000 tons of cargo, it has accommo-
dations for $50 first class, 426 second
class. $50 third class, and 2O64 steerage
passengers, a total of $3.50 persons. 1t
carries a crew of $50, making a grand
total of 1910 souls aboard when every
berth is occupied.
The Cincinnati is COS feet in length,
SIS feet in breadth, and the distance from
the water line to the upper deck is IS
feet. 1t is constructed of steel and is
provided with double bottoms extending
it's entire length. The hull is divided
into twelve water tight compartments
and the vessel is said to be practically
nOn-sinkable.

PLANK BLOWN THROUGH TREE.
Remarkable Testimony to the Force O
the Recent Georgia Tornado.

Each day brings to light some new
freak of the tornado which caused death
and destruction in this part of the state
a few days ago. Des
As an evidence of the freakish force
of the wind a big pine tree and a large
plank on the property of S. NJ. Roberts.
about twelve miles from here, are now
joined as if done by an expert carpen-
ter.
Although the tree was a large one the
plank was picked up and driven through
the center as neatly as if shot from all
gun. Not only was the plank shot
through the tree, but it went through
without tearing the tree.
The plank was picked up in the yar6I
of Mr.. Roberts sawmill and other
plarks in the pile were not raoIested byi
the wind. So singular does Mr.. Rob.
erts consider this action of the tornado-
that he has posted a notice telling how;
the plank was driven through the bigi
pine and ordering that it shah not be-
cut down.-Atlanta Georgian.
