Constitutions.

The Arizona and New Mexico statehood
bill was ordered favorably reported by the
Senate committee on territories today.
Amendments were adopted which will
permit all citizens who have resided in
the territories for one year or more to
vote for the ratification Of the constitu-
tons OF the proposed states.
The effect OF this will be to enact cleo
ton qualifications in the form in which
they existed prior to the recent acts of
the territorial legislatures, which had the
effect of disfranchising certain classes of
citizens. notably Mexicans, and which

made by the republicans, to make the
states democratic. beyond any question,
for many years.
In the form In which the Beveridge bill
was drafted residents Of the territories
would have been permitted to vote after
residence Of six months, but Senator
Dick moved to substitute a requirement

ment, except Chairman Beveridge.

Movements Very Irregular.

Stock market movements were very ir-
regular. They manifested contrary and
conflicting impulses and views. Unques-
tionably there was less realizing pressure
than on any previous day this week At
the same time there was no determined
bidding up of prices. although some isues
advanced. or at least held firm on what
looked like very strong support. Among
these stocks were United States Steel
and Southern Pacific. A very sharp ad-
vance in Cleveland. Cincinnati, Chicago &
ST. Louis was taken to indicate that an
other Vanderbilt dividend increase was
impending
On the other side OF the account Great
Northern preferred manifested exception
al heaviness. and Union Pacific was un-
der steady pressure. 1t was the judy
ment of a good many competent obsery-
ers, however. that there was nothing
very impressive about most Of the days
selling.

False Railroad Rumors.

There was some selling which depressed
quotations for the railroad equipment is
sues. and these lower prices were accom-
panied by statements to the effect that
the railroads had not been placing any
such total OF orders for cars and ma
terials nor making any such inquiries for
supplies as had been reported lately.
These were bare falsehoods and nothing
more.
The selling of the copper metal stocks,

port, published yesterday, shows that
output is still far ahead of consumption
and prices for the metal do not grow any
stronger. On the other hand, If the pres
ent indications Of business and industrial
activity are borne out in the near future
the copper trade is likely to improve
rapidly.
Needless to say. all the bearish stress
possible was laid on the labor situation.

NEW YORK. March 11.-All the bear
ish capital that could be made out Of re-
cent developments was actively employed
in Wall street today There was less
short selling of stocks than effort to talk
prices down, as though the takers had
parted with about as much stock as they
cared TO and wanted somebody else to do
the selling in order to give them an OPP
portunity TO save their bearish necks.
Particularly was this true of United
States Steel common. and the desperate
straits 10 which some speculative inter-

Indicated by the rumor which was active

efforts was a firm advance in the price

Report of State Board Of Con-
troll Shows Steady Growth
in Number Of Insane
ASyLUMS ARE ALL FILLED

According to a statement issued by
the state board of control on Tuesday,
there are 6,548- inmates in the state
and county insane asylums of Wiscon-
sin. This is an increase of thirty
seven over the number a month ago
and sixty-two over the number two
months ago.
The figures probably show the aver
age rate of increase in the number of
insane persons in the state, but do not
represent the ratio Of increase in in
sanity, because it would be necessary
to know the increase in the total pop
ulation of the state during the periods
in question, the figures for which are
now not available.
AS the number of inmates in the
hospitals for the insane, located in
Mendoza, Oshkosh and Milwaukee, is
usually close to the capacity of those
institutions, the variations in their
total registrations are generally slight.
When an inmate of one Of the two
state hospitals in Mendoza and Osh-
kosh has been treated for a certain
period of time and the alienists Of the
institution determine that his case is
incurable he is transferred to one of
the county hospitals for the chronic
insane. For that reason number
of inmates in county asylums gradually
increases, while that of the state hos
pitfalls remains about the same year af-
ter year.
The total number of inmates in the
two hospitals at present is 1906, in the
Milwaukee hospital 651 and in the
county asylums 1851. This is an in
crease of three in the state hospitals
and forty-two in the county asylums,
and decrease of eight in the Mil
waukee hospital since month ago, a
net increase OF thirty
The total number of inmates in the
ten state charitable and penal institu-
tions of Wisconsin at present is 1910,
divided as follows: State hospital for
the insane, Mendoza, 657; state hos
pital for the insane, Oshkosh, 649:
state school for the deaf, Delavan, 1872;
state school for the blind, GAINESVILLE,
Us; state industrial school for bows,
Waukesha, 1854; state prison, Waupun,
693; state public school for dependent
Echildren, Sparta, 172; state home for
feeble minded, Chippewa Falls, 942;
state reformatory, Green Bay, 229;
state tuberculosis sanitarium, Wales,
"a.
The Delavan school this year has a
class of seven students who have fin
ished the new high school course of
study there and viii enter the national
college for the deaf, Washington, d.
C., next fall.

TO CHANGE INSURANCE LINES
Board Authorizes the Finance Com
mittee to Appor zion the Insurance
Among the Various Agents of
the City.

Extension of manual training in the
various schools of the city is being
planned by the board of education
and at the regular meeting of the
board on Tuesday evening a special
committee was named to look into this
matter and make some report to the
board at its next regular meeting. The
plans for the work have not as yet
been made but it is thought certain
that they will include the addition of
a department Of domestic economy in
the Kenosha high school and depart
ment of manual training in the Durkee
school and possibly a similar depart
ment in the Balm school. At the pres
ent time the students of the Balm
school have their manual training at
the central school.
The plans for the installation of a
department Of domestic economy at the
high school has been under considera-
ton for some time and the plans for
it were largely worked out by Super
intendent Zimmers a year ago. 1t
was planned to install the department
during the present year, but the in
stallation of the new commercial de-
partment took so much money that it
was decided best to lay this further
expenditure over until the next year.
The special committee in charge of
the extension is made up of Commits
sioners Buckmaster, Head and Craney
and they will work with the superin-
tendent.
The board took up the question Of
the insurance carried by the board on
the various school buildings of the city.
A total of 100000 is carried in in
surance and it is the plan of the f.
nance committee of the board to ap-
portion this among all the insurance
agents representing reputable com
panies. 1t is planned to divide the
insurance along the lines OF the amount
of taxes paid by the, various agents in
the city. This change in the placing
of tie insurance will be made at such
time as the insurance runs out SO that
it can be done without loss to the
board.
The board settled up with Contractor
| j. H. Cullen who was in charge of the
building of the Columbus school and
the contractor gave bond to insure the
carrying out of every provision of the
contract not already complied with.
The janitors of the various schools
were elected for the new year, there
being no change in the force Of JAM
tors.
