WILSON SLIPS OUT
Man Wanted Here on Forgery
Charge Eludes st. Louis
Officers and Escapes
CHARGED WITH FRAUD THERE.

G. Z. Wilson wanted in Kenosha on
charges of forgery and recently locat-
ed by the Kenosha police at hotel in
St. Louis has slipped through the fin
gers of the ST. Louis police and is still
going. This morning Chief of police,
O Hare received a letter from Chief
Young of st. Louis stating that they
had captured the baggage of Wilson
but that the man had escaped and that
no trace of him had been found since
he left St. Louis. Wilson seems to have
been thoughtless in st. Louis as well
as i'll Kenosha and Chief Young states
in his letter that he went away from
the Missouri city without paying a
hotel bill Of twenty dollars He also
states that Wilson was charged in st.
Louis with defrauding local insur-
ance company there of 500. Wilson
went to st. Louis just after he left
Kenosha and he put up at one of the
best hotels in the city and was living
under the name Of c. E. WiIsoncroft.
He was working insurance for several
companies in st. Louis and as in Ra-
cine and Kenosha was getting up a
pretty good collection of friends and
associates when the st. Louis officials
received a letter from Sheriff Gunter
and the police Of Kenosha asking that
a search be made for him in St. Louis.
Wilson seems to have got this informa-
ton just about as soon as it was deliv-
cred to the police officials at st. Louis
and when they went to the hotel to ar
rest him they found that he had gone
out for the day. All day and all night
police officer hung about the entrance
to the room of Mr.. Wilsoncroft,'' but
late in the evening when the pursuit
was abandoned the man had not return
ed. Wilsoncroft has not been seen at
the hotel since and the baggage which
he left behind was found to be of
little value. It is evident that Wilson
had planned to be able to move on
short notice and it is thought that he
had his baggage stored at some place
in st. Louis and got out Of that city
just as soon as he heard that the police
were after him. Chief of police o Hare
has sent letters to many other Western
cities and he feels certain that sooner
or later Wilson will be landed and
brought back to Kenosha to answer
to charges of forgery.

When Kenosha woke I'D and began |

When Kenosha woke up and began to
go in heavily for public improvements
of all kinds about the only mistakes
made were in not allowing. enough for
the future growth and expansion of
the city and the most important point
in connection with the new trunk line
sewer is to get it large enough. II
there is the slightest doubt in regard
to the carrying capacity of an eight
and onehalf foot sewer for all waste
that can possibly be turned into it in
the future it would be infinitely better
in every way to be on the safe side and
build a ten foot one. The final de-
cision on this point is for the engineers
to settle but to any one who has seen
the volume of water which comes down
the bed of Jerome creek after sud
den storm it certainly looks as if ten
foot sewer would be none too lars.

WILL SEEK MUCH LEGISLATION
Former Kenosha Man to Take Active
Part in Fight to Prevent Any Abridg
ment of Rights of Members Of League
! to Practice Their Professions.

The National League for Medical
| Freedom, has established a Wisconsin
branch Office in Milwaukee and will be-
gin a campaign Of education and de-
/ Tense at once.
The Wisconsin committee OF the lea
que consists OF Or. Edwin j. Elton,
formerly of Kenosha, chairman; Arthur
N. McGeoch, treasurer; William f.
Hooker, secretary and Frank o. Phelps.
"The work Of the league in Wiscon-
sin at present, " said Secretary Hooker,
lis to organize in every county. We, al
ready have a membership of over 1000,
including osteopathists, homeopathists,
Christian Scientists, eclectics,s anti-vac-
cinationists, NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and
others.
1--WE are not looking for trouble or
! spelling for fight but will be prepared
to resist vigorously and honorably any
attempt to abridge our rights SO far as
healing art. The league is opposed to
no medical or healing school and can
hardly be termed militant organiza-
ton, for we have no notion of going on
the warpath with paint and feathers
hunting for scalps.
'tWhile the league membership is
composed of men and women of many
different minds so far as medical treat
ment or the healing art is concerned
they are all in strict harmony SO far as
the main point is concerned-freedom
Of action. All they want and demand
is the same freedom in regard to med
ical treatment as they now have in re-
ligion and politics.
"The league is the outgrowth of sew
eral bills that were introduced in CON
gress at the last session. The Owens
BILL, for example, proposes the estab-
lishment of medical bureau the head
of which should be member of the
president $ cabinet This bureau was
to be under the control of the Public
Health and Marine Hospital esrvice,
which consists of about 1000 physi-
clans, every one of whom is member
of the so-called regular school of med
icine.
The provisions of some of the bills
which propose an enlargement of the
authority of the hospital service are 50
vague that the league feels justified in
conducting a vigorous campaign against
such measures. Hearings before con
gressional committees last session re.
suited in deferring action on all of the
medical bills.
The Wisconsin committee will be
reinforced by an advisory committee
perhaps of fifty or 100 men and wo.
men in the state at large, and its duties
VIII be to organize and cooperate with
the national organizations watch pro.
| posed legislation in the state and be
prepared TO defend the position main
tanned of absolute freedom to the end
that no mans rights shall be abridged
whether he be an advocate of allopath-
tic doses, Christian Science, osteopathic
treatment, or a believer in faith cures
no matter what its label.o

BLAST KILLS EIGHT
In RAILROAD CONSTRUCTION
CAMP, GRASS VALLEY, ORE.
Several Others More or Less Injured
Mostly Italians, Who Were Blown to
and Only One Went Off-Other De-
layed Till Men Had Got Close.

Grass Valley, Ore, Jan. 10.-In a
blasting accident on the Oregon Trunk
line nine miles west of Grass Valley at
least eight or nine men were killed out
right, and it is thought several others
were more or less injured.
Mike Burns, railroad contractor, was
seriously and probably fatally hurt, and
the foreman of a section gang of Ital-
ians was blown to bits. Some of the
gang of Italians were blown so feet into
the air.
AS soon as news of the accident
reached here special train was made
up and dispatched to the Hill farm,
where the explosion occurred. On board
were DIR. Taylor, resident physician,
and DIR. Walker, surgeon of the o. R. &
N. company. The dead and injured were
brought back to Grass Valley.
According to the meager information
received the gang was blasting. Two
blasts were set, one went off and the
other was delayed. When the workmen
went to see if the second was dead it
exploded just as they were over the
place.

B1NGER HERMANN TRIAL Is ON
Land Fraud Case Starts at
Portland Ore.

Portland, Ore, Janu. 9.-Binger Her
mann, who for 16 years represented Ore
gon In the national house of representa-
tives and for several years was commits
sioner of the general land office, this
week, in the United States district court,
faces the charge of conspiracy to de-
fraud the United States government of
a part of the public domain.
The Indictment under which he is to
be tried was returned in 1905, and the
conspiracy it alleges was the most stu
pendous of all the Oregon land fraud
cases. Hermann was jointly indicted
with the late United States Senator
John IL. Mitchell, former state senator
and ex-deputy United States Attorney
Franklin Pierce Mays, former State
Representative Willard N. Jones, George
Sorensen, prominet politician, and IL.
A. Smith, deceased. OF these Mays,
Jones and Sorensen were on September
II, 1906, convicted as charged in the
Indictment. Senator Mitchell and
Smith died without coming to trial I'M
der it; Congressman Williamson was
convicted under another Indictment
and following the procedure of the gov
eminent prosecutors in the Oregon land
fraud cases was not tried on this indict-
ment.
Hermann S trial under this indict-
ment has been postponed year after
year, sometimes at his own request and
sometimes by the inability, for various
reasons, of Francis J. Heney to conduct
the trial.

FOR MORE FARM WAREHOUSES;.
Farmers Union Plans to Divide Houses
Into Groups to Operate With
Central Agency.

One of the most important moves to
be made by the Farmers Educational
and Cooperative union during the pres
ent year, according to State President
l.. c. Crow, is the districting of the
warehouses owned or leased by the
union in the grand jurisdiction, which
comprises Washington and the pan
handle of Idaho.
The plan is to form five or six dis
tricts, with central selling agency in
each district, the agency to be located
in the commercial center of the dis
triet. The central agency in each dis
trict will be in close touch with the
Coast agency, and the manager of each
warehouse in the district will in turn
be kept advised of conditions of the
grain market through the central
agency.
The central agencies in the five OF
six districts will have control of the
entire warehouse system of the union
Each agency win have control of the
warehouses in its territory, while the
heads of agencies will form a board of
directors.
Where the locals do not, or can not,
own or operate a warehouse the mem
bers win store their grain in the old
line houses and mark it, reporting to
their local secretary as to the amount
stored, who, in turn, reports to the cen
trail selling agency in the district.
The warehouse business, as handled
by the union during the last year, has
been successful beyond expectation and
has saved the farmers no little money.
Much of the grain held until prices ad-
vanced was held in union warehouses
and under advice of leaders in the
union, who were keeping in close touch
with conditions through the agency on
the Coast.
The union in eastern Washington,
President Crow says, is increasing in
membership rapidly.

HULL WANTS FOR
ARMY sos, e12,71s
Objects to Statement by Tawney That
Wars Cost Nation 72 Per Cent
of Revenue


- The wonderful results of the civil
war are responsible for the enormous
cost to the nation annually Of wars past
and to come declared Mr.. Hull of
Iowa, in explaining the provisions of
the army bill, which calls for an ap-
preparation of $95,612,71s.
Mr.. Hull said the army and navy
cost the United States not more than
$255,O00, 900 annually. He took ex-
ception to a statement made by Chair
man Tawney of the appropriations com
mittee that wars past and those being
prepared for were costing the nation
70 per cent of its net revenues annually
The $12O,000,OO0 given annually in
pensions, Mr.. Hull said, should not
be included as a war cost, being rather
a charity. He justified the enormous
amount so spent because the result of
the war which made the appropriation
necessary was to keep the republic in
tact. Had there been any other result,
he said, the country eventually would
have been divided into half a dozen re-
publics, none Of them important enough
to command the respect Of the world
powers.

IMPROVE DIPLOMATIC SERVICE
President Taft Approve Plan Suggested
By Secretary Knox.

To improve the personnel and effici-
ency of the diplomatic service and to
encourage secretaries of legations to
qualify for promotion to the rank of
ministers, President Taft has approved
a plan suggested by Secretary Knox and
he publishes it as an executive order.
The new project provides for board
of examiners to pass upon all applicants
for appointment as secretaries and pro-
vides the standard to be maintained.
Secretary Knox, in letter submitting
his plan to the president, points out the
remarkable growth of the political and
commercial action of the United States
in foreign nations, and the increasing
difficulty of the problems to be dealt
with.
Records of efficiency of all the under
department and appointment from out
side the service to secretaryships will
be made only to the class of third sec
rotary of embassy, or, in case of higher
vacancies, or second secretary of lega-
ton; or of secretary of legation at
posts which have assigned to them only
one secretary.
Vacancies in secretary of the higher
classes in the future will be filed by
promotion from lower grades and eff
cheney and ability demonstrated in the
service will be the test of advancement.
All the secretaryships in the future
will be graded according to the import
ance or difficulty or other aspects of
the word done at each mission, and these
classifcations will be made known to
the services.
In the oral examination, candidates
must demonstrate alertness, general
contemporary information, natural fit
ness for the service, address, command
of England and general education. A
physical examination will be supple
mental.
Candidates must be between 81 ano
so years of age. From the successful.
candidates appointment lists viii be sup
piled, and from this will be chosen.
The department will aim to apportior
representation fairly among states anc
territories.
