Many Defendants in Night Rider
Cases Are Dismissed on Motion by
Plaintiffs in the Federal Court

and the Holloweil cases. The cost
on those implicated has run from
s25 to 5000. according to their abil-
lty. That was pretty expensive fun
for us. Committees We're appointed
20 make the assessments.
Trouble Among Plaintiffs.
Sen. wheeler Campbell and Capt.
Carl Henderson, attorneys for Henry
Bennett and A. II. Cardin. have been
sued by c. w. Rucker. ]. NJ. Wood
Laura Tooney and G. w. Gordon. at
Princetop, for $4,000. which they
contend was concealed from their
knowledge when settlement with de-
PENDANTS in these suits were made.
Il is commended by them that the at
torneys said the total amount col
lected was 10000. when ii really
was s12.5OO. The money was col
lected by these attorneys, mostly at
Princeton. where they met the defen-
dants. who wished to compromise.
Senator Campbell stated this
morning that allegations of misrepre-
sentation are false. He said there
never was an agreement to pool the
money collected in compromise; but
that each plaintiff agreed upon the
amount he would accept in settle
ment from these defendants ana
each received the amount stipulated.
Il is said that Bennett and Cardin
received more money in compromise
of their suits than did the four from
Eddyville.
Some OF the defendants in the
Birmingham raid cases will be dis
and il Is believed the cases of
Lee Baker and Nat Frizzell, for $685.
600 against the Birmingham raiders
will go TO trial. The others will be
continued.

IMPORTANT MEASURES
Legislature at Madison to Take up I'm
portant Laws in Next Few Days

Favorable reports on four bills pro-
viding for radical changes in existing
laws were presented by the judiciary
committee Tuesday.
One is the Thomas bill, making in
sanity ground for divorce It pro-
vides that whenever a husband or wife
shall have been confined for two years
in an insane asylum and the superin-
tendent of the institution shall certify
that such insanity is permanent or in
durable, it shall be sufficient cause for
a legal separation.
The Browne bill, providing a uni
form scale for county judge IS salaries,
was recommended for passage. This
measure provides the county judge
shall receive $50 per year for each
1000 of population up to $4,000 and
$25 for each additional 1000 of popu-
lation, providing that he shall not
draw salary to excel that paid a
circuit judge.
The Whitehead bill, 1918, which has
received the sanction Of the commit
tee, makes an attachment of garnish-
ment for a liquor debt invalid.
The other important bill recommend
ed for passage is Senator Lyon s meas
ure, which vests the Circuit Court
alone with authority affirm or an
null marriage.
1t is asserted the assembly commit
tee on transportation is preparing to
report favorably upon the Cleary bill,
349A, amending the public utility act
by prohibiting the duplication of tele-
phone systems. A divided report will
be made upon the bill, which has been
the subject Of bitter contention among
telephone men of the state, but it is
predicted the majority report will be
for the passage Of the bill.

TO FLOAT BOND ISSUE
Wisconsin Central Railroad To
Give $50. 600, 900 Mortgage
and Obtain Finances
REFUND THE EXISTING BONDS

A $6o,ooo,0oo mortgage is to be au-
thorlzed by the stockholders of the
Wisconsin Central at the request of the
directors of the Minneapolis, st. Paul
& Sault Ste Marie, in order to make
the improvements on the Central
property.
part of the proceeds will be ap-
piled to refund $36,000,0OO existing
bonds and equipment obligations and
the balance will be utilized in elimi-
mating grades and curves, constructing
cut-offs and building extensions.
The Central is to form an important
link in the Canadian Pacific s Ameri-
can system, especially in taking care
Of largely increased traffic to and
from Chicago With the proposed new
line between Grand Rapids and Wau-
kesha, now under survey, the Central
will be the shortest line between Chi
cago and the Twin cities.
Practically the entire Central line is
covered with existing mortgages and
comparatively few equipment obliga-
lions are outstanding, so when new
bonds are sold they will not be first
mortgage lie-s on the present mileage,
unless issued for additional branches
and cut-otfs. Securities issued under
a mortgage must therefore be disposed
Of on the general credit of the Wis
consin Central or possibly by guaran-
tee of the "Soo.'
Under changed conditions, particu-
larry with regard to the new Duluth
line, which has not. had an opportunity
to show its earning capacity, the real
earning power of the Central is a
question for the future to determine
By change of ownership the road may
lose large amount of traffic former
ly received from connecting lines, be-
cause the management was independent
but it is believed that this will be
more than made up by new business
from the Canadian Pacific. With
prospects that the Central will become
an important through~ line, with great
ly increased earnings, the position Of
the company's existing bonds is
strengthened by becoming underlying
liens.

PROTESTS AGAINST LAW
Mrs. Sarah Clark Renders Protest
Against Kenosha Marriage Laws

County Clerk Russell Jones, has re-
ceived very sensible letter from Mrs.
Sarah Clark, Chicago woman, protest
ing against the Wisconsin marriage
laws which make possible the marriage
of first cousins in this state. Mrs.
Clark states in her letter that her pro-
test is made at this time on account of
the fact that her son is planning to
marry a cousin in Wisconsin and that
it is her desire to do what she can to
prevent the issue Of license for his
marriage in Kenosha. 1t is supposed
that similar letters have been sent to
clerks in other counties. The bride-to-
be Of the son is resident Of Michigan
and as the laws of Michigan and Hi
nois both prevent the marriage of cou-
sins they will be forced to come to
Wisconsin to have the ceremony per-
formed. AS both of the parties to the
marriage are above the age Of twenty
one years the clerk would be poWerless
to act in the matter and he has advised
Mrs. Clark to this effect informing her
that her only method of procedure
would be to apply to the state legisla
ture for a change in the laws so as to
make the marriage of first cousins in
Wisconsin an impossibility.
