OWNERS VIOLATED WRIT.
Massachusetts Man Asks Pun
ishment for Contempt.

Further developments in the dispute
between Walter NJ. Jackson, of New
ton, Mass, and Horace NJ. Hooper, of
London. sole owners of the American
and English Encyclopaedia Britannica
companies, were brought out in the
hearing on Il petition of jackson to
have Hooper, Harris p. Burrows
Charles c. Winery and Francis II
Hooper adjudged guilty of contempt Of
court, before Vice-Chancellor Howell
today.
Jackson alleges that the parties
named disregarded an order of the
court granted May "a restraining them
from withdrawing from the business or
from drawing any money for their pri-
vate and personal uses. He cites a
number of instances when he says the
restraining order was disobeyed, and
charges; First, hat they withdrew
money from the bank for their per-
sonal and private uses; second, that
they refused his aid in the business,
and third, that they caused the assets
of the copartnership to be transferred
by the Encyclopaedia Britannica COM
pany.
To cover UP and conceal his alleged
violation of the courts order, it is
charged that Hooper instructed the
bookkeeper and cashier at the New
York office to refrain from making any
entries in the books there. It is also
charged that he caused money to be
transferred from the company's Lon
don office.
The defendants deny all If the allie
cations of the petition and assert that
there has been no violation of the re-
%straining order OF the court. Wit
nesses We're present from various parts
Of the country. There was also a
notable array of counsel present for
both sides.

Philadelphia, who yesterday operated
a new change swindling game and vic
timized two s~torekeepers on the Hill,
was sentenced to six months in the

take back h note and then after a
little conversation ask to have it re-
turned to him. 1t evidently worked
better than it sounds.

sault in Berlin upon an old woman
well known to the night life of the

SECTION MAN
KILLED BY TRAIN
EDWARD C. NAVEL FOUND DEAD
BESIDE TRACKS IN MO-
MONA YARDS.
BODY PICKED UP BY CONDUCTOR
BEAvER-coRoNER IN
vEsTIGATEs.
Madison, Oct. 9.


Edward C. Navel, an assistant
section foreman of the Northwestern
road, was found dead beside the main
line in the Monona yards, a short
distance north of the Yahara river, at
$50 o'clock last night. He was picked
up by w. H. Beaver, conductor on
southbound freight No. $50.
Indications are that he was killed
by being hit by a train. His dinner
pail laid beside him and it is pre-
sumed that he was on his way to his
boarding house on East Dayton
street when the accident happened.
No one could be found last night who
saw the accident and it was, there
fore, impossible for Coroner Lynch to
learn what train hit Navel.
= Mr.. Beaver and his crew placed
the body on board the freight and
brought it to the depot. From there
it was removed to F'rautschi's
mOrgue
The presumption is that Navel
stepped out of the way of one train
and got in front of another. The TACT
that no legs or arms were broken is
a sure sign that the wheels of the
train did not pass over him. He was
probably hit by the train and hurled
beside the track.
In his pocket was found letter
from Division Superintendent Ryan
of Baraboo giving him instructions as
to the performance of certain duties.
Navel was about 20 years old. His
father is section foreman for the
Northwestern at Mendoza.
Coroner Lynch will doubtless hold
an inquest

MdulSOu, OCI. ..
Henry E. Legler's successor as sec
rotary of the Wisconsin free library
commission is Matthew S. DudgeOn,
who for three years past has been
consulting lawyer in the legislative
reference library, one of the commits
sion's numerous activities. 1t is,
therefore, a promotion from the
ranks
For week past, ever since the
election of Mr.. Legler as public IL
brarian of Chicago, the commission
has been busy in the matter of the
successorship The ranks of the Ii
brary profession itself were naturally
first turned to, and several librarians
in different parts of the country have
been seriously thought of. But for
one reason or another, there We're
drawbacks in the case of each. Final
ly, after much searching and consider
alton, it was deemed wisest to take a
Wisconsin man, who knew the public
men of the state, was familiar with
Wisconsin conditions, and had the
necessary qualifications of executive
ability, alertness of mind, tactfulness,
and knowledge of human nature, even
if he were lacking in matters OF IL
brary technique. Mr.. Dudgeon seemed
to be just the man; moreover, he was
already in the commissions employ.
He was not a candidate, for the
news of his selection yesterday, by
| the nominating committee, came to
him like bolt from the blue. 1t
! took him some time, and much
searching of heart, to make up his
mind to abandon the law, to which he
supposed he had given his life, and
enter upon a new profession. This
however, he decided to do, although
at some personal sacrifice, and the
commissioners believe that in due
time he is bound to make good" in
] this new field.
!, Mr.. Dudgeon was born in Madison
SO years ago. His father was d
Methodist minister, who when Mat
thew was lad went to Kansas for
his health and took up a farm near
Baldwin in that state. In 1892 the
| boy graduated from Methodist col
Ilege in that town, Bakers University
which in June last honored him with
the M. A. degree. After college, Mr.
Dudgeon taught Latin and Greek at
Hot Springs, South Dakota. but soon
returned to his birthplace and entered
the college of law in the UNIVERSE J
/ of Wisconsin, from which he gradu
! ated in 1895 He at once began the
practice of his profession, but in 1895
paused long enough to serve as !
volunteer private in the Spanish
