WILL DRIVE PROBE
INTO TREASURER s
OFFICE
SUPERVISORS COMMITTEE Or
pERs INVESTIGATION A N o
LEAVES DETAILS IN HANDS OF
AUDITORS.

After much needless discussion, the
ways and means committee or the
board of supervisors, in a special meet
ing held in the auditors office, Thurs
day. decided TO back ND the auditors
In their decision TO investigate tho
county treasurer's office. Aid. Fields
resolution on the subject calls for an
audit OF the books in all the county
offices, but this is purely discretionary
with the auditors, and 1t Is hardly
likely that the probe will extend be-
yond the county treasury. The scope
of the investigation as To how far back
1t will extend was also left to the dis
erection OF the auditors, as was the
employment of experts TO do the work
The resolution is as follows:
Resolved, that the board OF
county auditors employ suitable
and competent accountants and
bookkeepers TO examine and
audit all books OF account of the
various county Offices and make
a report to this committee togeth-
er with such recommendations for

deem best, with all due speed.
and, further, that said examination
commence at such q date as the
county auditors shall deem At, the
cost to be paid from the contingent
fund.
County Auditor Oakman expressed
the opinion that the audit would take
at least six months. Whether 1t will
start at once or after the work of the
Office is cleaned up in the spring is a
matter to be determined later.
Acting Treasurer Waldo entertained
the committee and spectators with a
graphic account. OF Schultes defalca
tons, past and present, and showed
how IL was possible for him, II he &c
desired, to have taken other funds
covering up the shortages by false en-
tries.
The committee. before taking up tho
matter in hand. discussed at some
length a claim OF $31 for sparrow
bounty, recently presented to the au
ditors. Although the law OF 1907
makes It mandatory for the supervis
ors to pay the bounty, the committee
turned the bill down, thus inviting Z
lawsuit.

JUDS0N DENIES
PROMISE To WE'D

Or. Henry c. Judson took the stand
in his own behalf, Thursday morning,
in the $4,000 breach of promise suit
brought by Mary J. Dun. who passed
as his wife for eight years. He denied
he had ever promised to marry the
complainant or that there had been
any such understanding between them
at any time. He ceased to live with
her, he said. because she became
cross, but he claimed that he had
made ample provision for her comfort
after the separation. providing her
with a home and even luxuries. In
Guiding beer He denied that he had
ever introduced her as his wife and
that he had any connection with the
adoption of two children into their
home.
DR.. Judson wept bitterly when refer
ence was made TO his present financial
condition. He is a poor man, he said,
as result OF the notoriety his case
has attracted

Breeding Up Sugar Beets.

Great work is being done in sugar
beet breeding by the Department of
Agriculture, and the outlook is that
American seed will soon be far ahead
of the best imported kinds; in fact, the
best of it already is. The developing
of strain of pedigree seed has gone
far enough to insure the growing of
commercial crops of seed from pedigree
roots, and will undoubtedly result in
considerably better seed than the COM
merclal seed now generally used
throughout the United States. Some
of the mother beets that have been
used to establish these lines of breed
ing have tested more than "a per cent
of sugar and have at the same time
been of good average weight; that is,
"a ounces or more. The seed from such
individual mothers has been carefully
planted, their product being again Sc
lected and tested to determine the roots
having the strongest power to transmit
their good qualities. Such as show re-
markable abilities for transmitting such
qualities are used for the establishment
of strains.
The commercial tests made of Amer
lean and foreign grown seed have
been carried on in all the sugar beet
sections of the country, and the work,
though not as yet conclusive, tends to
show that America can grow sugar beet
seed of excellent quality. During the
past year this work was conducted by
40 experimenters throughout the sugar
beet area under the direction of the
Bureau of Plant Industry and the
American-grown seed yielded about 600
pounds of sugar to the acre more than
the foreign seed used by the various
factories.
The departments Investigations in
connection with the development of a
single-germ beet seed have been con-
tinued during the past year, with the
result that that percentage of single
germ seeds has been increased from 26
per cent per plant for the year previous
to so per cent in some instances, and
upward of 40 per cent in many more,
SO that it is plain that the tendency is
toward higher percentage of singles
each generation.
The ultimate establishment of sin
gle-germ beet will revolutionize sugar
beet growing since the several sprouts
sent up by the ordinary seed, all but
one of which must be carefully remov-
ed by hand, constitutes the most diff
cult problem in beet raising.

The many friends of Mrs Emily N
Case were greatly panied Friday to
learn of her death which occurred as
she was leaving DR. F M Brewers hos
pital to return to her home at A H
Downing's on Milwaukee Ave. Satur-
day, Jan 30th Mrs Case fell on the icy
sidewalk and suffered an injury to her
spine. She was taken to the Brewer
hospital for treatment and seemingly
had recovered from the injury. Friday
as she was being helped into the carri-
age, she sank down unconscious. She
was at once taken back to the hospital
and everything possible done for her.
She expired in fifteen minutes, how
ever, without regaining consciousness.
There is much joy in the ranks of the
sportsmen of this city over the fact
that the carp fishermen are pulling up
their fyke or hoop nets here before the
spring run of pike, pickerel and bass.
For several seasons these beautiful
game fish have languished and died in
these barbarous prisons, by the ton,
caught while on the way to the spawn
ing beds up stream. The reason for
pulling up given by the carp men is
that owing to low prices the work does
not pay The Union believes, however,
that there are other reasons. The carp
business here has f1ourished but at an
enormous waste of game fish, and if
kept up for several years more there is
no doubt in the minds of those who
have made this thing study that all
our game fish would, in time, be ami
hilated, while the carp would be as
numerous as ever. When carp become
too numerous they descend a stream.
Lake Koshkonong has been fished out
several times, but has been replenished
by the carp from above.
