Justice has nothing to do with it. He can

IF the President is using the federal cir

Resolution Goes Over.
Senator Lodge moved that the resolu-
ton be referred to the committee on the
Judiciary, which called forth a protest
from Mr.. Rayner, who said If that course
should be adopted the purpose of the
resolution would be defeated. The Attor-
ney General. he said. had announced that
in four days he would make everything
public. He wanted to know under what
statute the Attorney General was pro-
ceeding, so that before he goes further
the statute could be repealed.
Mr. Rayner insisted that he would
demand a vote on the motion to refer to
a committee, and then Mr.. Lodge asked
row under the Senate rules. The motion
to refer the resolution to the judiciary
committee will then be the order of bust
ness.

It would appear from the last Blue
Book that there are 118 incorporated
cities in the State of Wisconsin, and
their total population is about one
half of the whole population of the
state.
If the population of the incorpor-
ated villages is added to that of the
cities, we find that less than one
half of our people live in the coun-
try.
The average population for the cit
les of the state is 10000. The small

Buffalo county, with a population Oh
235. Our own city of Pittsville

cross the Wisconsin river and make
his way to Grand Rapids by this route
and save two miles of walking He
considered the ice on the river per-
fectly safe because others had been

just above the needle dam and was
nearly across the first chanel be-
tween the west shore and the island
when he broke through the ice With
out any warning and saved himself
from going under the ice with his
hands holding on to unbrOken ice. He
| made several attempts to eXtricate
himself from the water, when the ice
kept breaking off and preventing his
getting out. He fought this way for
several minutes when he become
somewhat exhausted, having his fur
coat on, and then supporting himself
with his arms on the ice he hollered
for help Before help came he was IN
the water fully half an hour, when
Messrs. Paul and Frank KoEnen and
others came from the paper mill to his
rescue. They first extended a pole,
but he was SO benumbed by the cold
that lie could not hold on sufficiently
strong to have them pull him out.
They then secured d rope aud threw
that over his head and one shoulder.
In this manner they pulled him out
Of the water. Messrs. Ebacber and
Haydock accompanied Mr.. Hamm TO
his home on the west side of he river.
On their return to their work in the
mill Leo Ebacher broke through the
ice at another point near the island
when his comrade assisted him out of
his dilemma and he thought himself
perfectly safe. When he attempted to
walk toward the island he broke
through again and this time lost bis
life, as the swift current took him
under the ice and he was drowned
