INTERESTING STORIES TOLD IN
CALHOUN TRIAL.

San Francisco, May 20.-Many a
phase and issue of the municipal graft
prosecution. hitherto kept secret, was
made public today during the session of
the trial of Patrick Calhoun, president
of the United Railroads. Incidents long
since forgotten in the press of new SEN
satiOns were incorporated in the mat
ter presented to the jury. Two wit
nesses of the. first Importance occupied
the witness stand, and between interro-
cations the attorneys argued with d
degree Of vehemence that several times
ELECTED caustic reprimands from Judge
Lawler.
Rudolph Spreckels. whose testimony
yesterday presented to the defense and
the public a statement purporting to
cover his contributions to the cause of
the graft prosecution, was on the stand
In a summary offered in evidence, il
was declared that the total subscrip-
tons received from all sources amount
ed to s213,391, all of which had been ex-
pended Mr.. Spreckels testified that he
had personally given S1SS,47S Of this
amount, and from his declarations it
was inferred that he was still self-ob-
ligated for an indefinite amount.
Detective Cross-Examined.
John Helms, the detective called to
the stand yesterday as a witness for the
prosecution, submitted to cross-exam-
ination earlier in the day, and reviewed
many of the charges he had preferred
against Patrick Calhoun and William
NJ Abbott, by whom he is alleged to
have been employed in a confidential
capacity. He had closed his testimony
yesterday with a declaration that he
resigned from the service of the United
Railroads in August, 1908. Today he
added to the complications attending
his allegiance by affirming that he IN
tered the employ of William J. Burns
and the prosecution in November, 1908,
and that he drew pay from both sides
from November until the following
February by virtue of fresh employ
ment given him by Mr.. Abbott, who
knew nothing of his employment by
Burns.

A REVOLUTIONARY PLAN.

A revolution in the matter of control
and management of the educational
system of the state is proposed by the
committee appointed by the recent ses.
sion Of the legislature to have under
consideration the whole scheme of edu-
cation in Wisconsin and to report its
recommendation to the special session
of the legislature to be called by the
governor in January The plan which
the committee has formulated contem-
plates the entire abolishment of the
three state boards that have now control
OF the various departments of education,
viz, the board of university regents of
15 members, the board of normal school
regents of II members and the miuing
school board of members, and the sub.
stitution therefor of single board of
education Of five members, the state
superintendent being one ex offico.
A bill has been prepared under the
direction of the committee providing for
the accomplishment of the plans which
have been outlined. The bill provides
that the governor, with the advice and
consent of the senate, shall appoint four
members of the board The term of
Office is to be eight years and each of the
appointive members of the board shall
receive an annual salary of $4,000.
The plan is revolutionary. 1t is an
other step in the direction of centrali
zation. 1t aims to put in the hands of
five men control over the University and
the Normal Schools On account of
their long terms of office they would not
feel accountable to the people. The
idea of paying man 5000 a year to
serve on the board is ridiculous. The
best men of the state have always stood
ready to serve on the various boards Of
education without pay. The proposed
bill should be fought 80 that it would
'die bornin."

WISCONSIN IN The LEAD.

The attention Of the entire nation has
been attracted to Wisconsin by the grand
work of the Wisconsin ntiTubercul
osis association. Since announcement
was made that Wisconsin would try to
sell 5000 600 Christmas stamps between
Nov 30 ana Dec. 81, other states, long
recognized as leaders in tuberculos
is work, have called on their citizens to
come ont and beat this record.
If all local campaign managers, which
are now being appointed in all cities
villages and hamlets, DO as we'll as John
Kirkpatrick, prominent citizen of Rich
land, Center, who will manage the camp
align there, it will not take long to sell
5000, 600 stamps. In three hours after
he was appointed, Mr.. Kirkpatrick took
written orders for s, 900 stamps for de-
livery on Nov. 30 This is remarkable
in town of only 5000 people. All or
ders were from business men, who have
now generally recognized the import.
auce of the anti.tuberculosis crusade
not only in the interests of health, but
as an economic saving.

CITY COUNCIL DOlNGS.

The council at its meeting Monday
night ordered the paving of Quay street
from Fifth to Tenth street and of Tenth
street from the river to Washington
street, adopted resolutions ordering pro.
perty owners to Immediately install wa
ter and sewer pipes and provide for sur
face drainage on Quay street from Ninth
to Tenth and from Fifth to Sixth streets.
The resolutions were adopted upon re.
port filed by the First ward committee
and supported by the Third ward com
mittee and the vote was unanimous of
the twelve aldermen present, Aldermen
Frazier and Smuggler being absent
No action was taken by the council
to provide for apportionment of the cost
and it is not known whether a portion
of the expense will be charged to the
general fund as is the case with Wash
ington street. The fact that sixteen of
twenty or twenty-five property owners
on Quay and Tenth streets petitioned
for the pavement probably prompted
the unanimous support given the pro.
ject.
A petition signed by twenty property
owners was presented to the council ask
ing that the Water and Gas companies
be compelled to lay the pipes on the
ground that they claimed ownership to
all pipes up to the curb. The city at.
torney advised that the council had no
authority and said that the Rate Com
mission even had ruled in an Oshkosh
case that property owners must lay
the pipes and in the case of Wits VS.. the
Water Co. here the court ruled that
the Water Co controlled the shut off
from the pipe to the curb. The claim
made by Washington street owners
is the same advanced by Ex-Mayor
Stole and is said to have been re.
ferred to the Rate Board by Mr.. Stolze.
The council tabled the petition after
CITY Atty. Hongen said the petitioners
might 60 to the Rate Commission. II
this is done it will probably delay the
paving.

REEDSVILLE BANK ROBBED.

The Reedsville state bank was robbed
this morning between 3 and 4 o'clock.
Officials of the bank say that about
S6 500 in cash was secured by the rob-
bers. There is no clew to the robbers
as they had made their escape before
the robbery of the bank had been dis
covered at about six o'clock in the morn
ing. The robbers went to the stable of
G. j. Ohm and hitched up two horses
and drove out of town in two single
rigs. Tracks indicated that they had
driven north and posse started in pur-
suit but after going some distance they
lost track of the vehicles on account of
the heavy rain and gave up the chase.
Entrance was made through the front
door, A hole was punched through the
glass door through which they reached
in and turned the yale lock. The build
ing is about 30 by 80 feet built of cem-
eLt blocks. and is located in the center
of the town. The safe was blown open

give an alarm which led to the discovery
of the bank robbery. When he went to
his stable at about 6 o'clock he found
that his horses aud rigs were stolen.
Sheriff Carey was Immediately notified
and went out on the first train He
notified the surrounding towns by tele'

out for the robbers.
The loss is partly covered by insur-
ance, as the bank was insured for "a, 800

LARGE BOAT is BEACHED.

Hugging the shore too close in order
to avoid the high seas that prevailed on
Friday is said to have been the cause of
the plight of the large barge Wyoming
of the city and the damage done to the
big freighter aside from the loss in time
will run into thousands of dollars. The
tug Arctic worked Saturday afternoon
in an endeavor to get the boat off the
rocks after she had been sufficiently
lightered and she will be brought here
for unloading and will probably 60 into
the local dry docks for repairs.
Two large pumps sent here from Mil
waukee Friday evening on a special
express car We're sent ont to the scene
of the wreck and are now at work and
are keeping the hold from filling while
the vessel is being lightered of her cargo
by the gasoline steamer Stevens secured
at Sheboygan which is of sufficiently
light draught to make the transfer. The
Wyoming is loaded with structural
iron and steel A captain and crew of
fourteen men are aboard.
The vessel was bound from Buffalo
to Chicago and being a stranger got
close to the shore though she is two
miles out and probably struck on apro-
lection which ordinarily would not be
in the path of the vessel The lake how
ever is said to be the lowest in several
years and is foot lower than ordinari-
ly. The first indication that the vessel
was in distress was received by Captain
Sniffin cf the Arctic and Agent Auton
who heard the signal given by the
whistles, and the tug went to her assist
ance. The Stevens was secured to light
er the vessel and an order was sent to
Milwaukee for pumps and other machin-
cry. The vessel though leaking badly
from hole in the hull is being kept
atioat by the pumps and will be brought
into the local harbor as soon as she can
be pulled off by the Arctic Manitowoc
Herald.
The steamer was released Tuesday
afternoon and towed into port here and
taken to the dry dock to be repaired.
The bottom of the boat was damaged
quite badly near the front end. 1t is
believed that repairs can be made
within week when the steamer can
proceed on her trip to Chicago.
