Washington, Jan. 26.-The Balm
ger-Pinchot congressional commit
tee of inquiry began its public ses-
sions today with Louis r. CLAWS, the
chief accuser of Ballinger, on the
witness stand. Due to many inter-
ruptions and the final decision of
the committee to insist that Claws
counsel should make an opening
statement of what specific charges
were made against Ballinger, the
witness did not get very far along
in his narrative. There was oppor-
tunity, however, to draw conclu-
sions as to preliminary lineup of the
committee.
In his enthusiasm over the actual
beginning of the inquiry and as the
result of tendency to argue his
view of the testimony, to be adduc-
ed, the special counsel for CLAWS,

London, Jan. 26.-The combined
strength Of Liberal, Labor and Ma
tionalist coalition has reached 345
stonight, or more than half the num-
her of members of the house of COM
mons. A Unionist government,
therefore, is out Of the question, and
the only point still undecided is the
exact strength of the coalition ma
jority. But if an Independent Liber-
al majority is equally out of the
question, only short life can be pre-
dicted for the incoming government

MILL MAY GO TO APPLETON
Commercial Club Plans to Erect
50, 500 Building for Use of Gov
ernment's Pulp Experts.

Appleton.-H. Stanley Bristol of
Madison, of the United States fores-
try department at the state universe
ty, has been in Appleton in consulta-
ton with officers of the commercial
club for the purpose of determining
whether the proposed pulpwOod ex-
perimental station to be established
by the government is to be located
in this city.
About a year ago Mr.. Bristol Wis
tied Appleton with view to securing
a building in which to install the ex-
perimental station. At that time it
was the intention of the government
to purchase or lease a building on the
local waterpower, and it was believed
the plant would be located in the Pat
ten pulp mill.
1t developed later, however. that
the appropriation for the establish
ment of the station was not sufficient
and for that reason the department
at Madison has been dickering since
for building to be provided by the
city and rented by the government.
The necessary building, 1t is esti-
mated, will cost about $4,000.
Officers of the Commercial club
believe they have devised a plan
whereby the building can be fur
nished.

DISQUALIFICATION Mcmillan re
ceiyed $1,000 volt electric charge
at the electrostatic ore separating

game of billiards a short time after.
He brought his hand near one of the
high voltage separators and the cur
rent broke from the machine, pass

through his foot. A fellow work
man broke the circuit and Mcmillan
fell unconscious to the floor, the
wOrkmen of the plant believing him
dead. In few minutes, however
he suddenly sat up, and was found
uninjured except in his hand and
foot.
The hand the current entered was
badly burned, and the foot through
which the current left was likewise
burned, and the shoe torn off and a
hole in the big toe through which
the current left the size of ten

WOULD RAISE PAY
OF STATE TEACHERS
WISCONSIN ASSOCIATION AFTER
NEW LAW TO INCREASE
SALARIES.
PROF. PATZER'S STATISTICS
Statement Shows That Many Arc
Earning Only SO Cents a Day.
Men Leaving Profession
Rapidly.

Milwaukee TO the end that bill
may be introduced at the next ses-
sion of the Wisconsin legislature es-
tablishing a minimum salary law for
rural school teachers of the state.
Prof. c. f. Patzer of the Milwaukee
Normal school has compiled a num-
Der OF rather startling statistics
which are to be used in the interests
of bringing such law into effect.
The Wisconsin State Teachers as
ISOLATION has for a number of years
known some of the conditions which
existed regarding the salaries of ru-
raj school teachers, and also saw that
some legislation should be secured TO
remedy them. At the last annual
meeting of the association held in
Milwaukee the legislative committee
consisting of G. r. PatZer of Milwau-
kee, chairman; Supt. Leo p. Fox OF
Chiffon, Supt. John Callahan of Me-
nasha. II. p. Landgraf. president Of
the association, and State Supt. c..
+. Cary, was directed to secure sta
tistiCs on rural school teachers sal
aries.
From State Supt Cary's report Of
1908, in which was published the
teachers salaries based on eight
months of teaching, Prof. c. l.. Pat
Ger made authentic deductions using
the twelvemonth basis instead of the
eight-month basis. AS the result of
his deductions he found that there
were 81 teachers who worked for
$l62 year, or for 81 cents a day;
$40 teachers who worked for $l92
a year. or G. cents a day. 1870
teachers who worked for S23S year,
or II cents day; 2,691 teachers who
worked for 1921 a year, or 80 cents
a day; 2,t6i teachers who work ed
for 1923 year, or 81 04 a day. and
l,290 teachers who worked for 1896
year or $l.17 day. The general
deduction made was that there was
about 5000 rural school teachers in
Wisconsin working for an average of
so cents day.
In gathering the statistics Mr.. Pat
ger found that between the years Of
1900 and 1908, 500 men who had
been teaching rural schools resigned
their positions principally on account
of the extremely low prices paid TO
them. Mr.. Patzer stated that he be-
lieyed II would be but a short time
when the presence of a male teacher
in a rural school would be rare
sight
Mr., Pat2er stated that the next step
in securing the much needed legis-
lation would be that the legislative
committee Of the Wisconsin State
Teachers association would consult
with special committee from the
state legislature, SO that a bill would
be drawn up establishing a minimum
salary law for rural school teachers.

CHAPTER V.

Horatio Passavant occupied a resi-.
dence on Park avenue, that dullest of
New Yorks many dull uptown streets.
The place and it's furnishings, like
their owner, were heavy, eminently
respectable, pompous, and quite pre-
tentious.
The household consisted of himself,
his daughter, and his spinster sister
the latter tolerated chiefly because
she made an admirable sheep-dog for
the second, being conveniently deaf,
quite colorless as to opinions. and
capable of complete self-effacement
upon occasion.
Clara Passavant, the daughter, was
commonly accounted handsome
woman, of a pale. blonde, stately type
of beauty; she was thoroughly mer-
cenary, brilliant as an icicle and near
ly as cold heartless, vain, and ambi-
tious. Her all-consuming aim in life
was to contract a splendid marriage;
in her eyes money was the indis-
pensable requisite for human happi-
ness and, although she probably
never shaped the thought in so many
words, she would undoubtedly sell her
self to the highest bidder.
Father and daughter were sitting
over their dessert on the evening of
the day which brought to Wilfrid the
tidings of his stupendous change in
fortune. The scene was far as the
antipodes from the humble interior
over in Macdougal street. where an
other and a more momentous inter
view was at that very moment also
taking place
Now tell me about this Mr. Stennis
Of yours, papa. said Clara after the
servants had retired. Is he at all
presentable?'

the lawyer. "A trifle raw and IN

very valuable adjunct to society. He

world, remember,

WISCONSIN PIONEER DIES
Noted Woman Who Died in Madison
Recently Had Lived 10
Years in State.

Madison. Mrs. Ellen A. Shower
man, who died of paralysis in Madi-
son. was one of Wisconsin pioneer
women. She had been a resident of
Wisconsin since 1897.
Mrs. Slovenian father, Luther
Parker, drove from Indian stream,
New Hampshire, to Milwaukee in
1897, and was the first white settler
in the township Of Muskego. His wife
came the next year with the three
children, among whom was the little
girl, Ellen Augusta Parker, who had
been born in 1893, and who in 1876 4
became Mrs. Nathan Cobb and in
1859 Mrs. Hiram Slovenian. her
first husband dying one year after
their marriage.
Luther Parker was a member OF
the state Legislature in 1S45 and in
1876 was active in the campaign for
the formation of Waukesha county

erman was an early settler in Brook
field and was one of the first station
agents and postmasters of that place.
He died in 1884 and Mrs. Slovenian

The Parkers are descended from
the Puritan deacon, Thomas Parker,
who came to America from England
in 1885 and settled in Reading,
Mass. Another branch of the same
family included Theodore Parker,
the famous clergyman, and Capt.
John Parker. who commanded colo
NAL soldiers at Lexington in 1775.
About 500 descendants of the Read
ing family of Parkers fought with
the colonial army during the revo-
lutionary war.
Mrs. Slovenian is survived by a
brother, Charles D. Parker, River
Falls, Wis, former lieutenant gov
ernor, and member of the board of
regents of the state university and
of the board of control, and three
sons, f. n. Cobb. Monmouth, III;
H, p. Slovenian, Walla Walla,
Wash, and Grant Slovenian of the
faculty of the University of Wiscon-
sin.
Funeral services were held at the
residence of Grant Slovenian in
Madison. lnterment was at Prairie
