Washington, May 25.-After repeat

mittee on appropriations of the house.
succeeded in so framing an amend
ment to provide for $250,000, asked
for by President Taft to continue the

MAY SUE BOARD
MAN WHO CAUSED AUDITING OF
BOOKS OF FAIR BOARD AN
NouNcEs HIS INTENTION.
GIVEN CHANCE TO PAY UP
Neacy Declares, However, That All
Money Drawn Without Az
thority Must Be
:. Returned.

Milwaukee.-An attempt to recover
for the state money said to have
been illegally drawn by members of
the state board of agriculture, which
conducts the state fair, will be made
by Thomas j. Neacy, who caused the
auditing of the state fair books to be
made which revealed apparently Slip
shod methods of business manage
ment.
But in the event that they will not
turn back into the state treasury
money which the report of the au-
ditors says they are not entitled to he
will start actions for recovery, he de-
clares.
1t is not thought that any steps will
be taken in the immediate future, as
George McKerrow, president o. the
state board of agriculture, Rho the
report shows drew larger sums than
any other of the board members, is
in Europe and is not expected back
h1me for several weeks.
Most decidedly the board members
who received money they are not en-
titled to will be made to pay back
such amounts into the state treasury"
said Mr.. Neacy after he had read an
account of the report of his auditors,
Arthur Young & Co., of Chicago.
Just what steps will be taken
cannot say at this time, as my lawyer
is out of town and 1 do not wish to
do anything until his return
THE board members will have a
reasonable time to decide what they
will do before 1 shall go ahead, but
they must reimburse the state, other
wise l shall take proceedings for the
recovery of every cent which the re-
port says was paid to each individual
They will have time to ease their
conscience to borrow an expression.
The state is entitled to that money
and the state shall get it back"

theater," that will overshadow many
others. not alone in it's novelty, but in
the idea of uplift, is being developed
at the Wisconsin School for the Deaf
of this city, under the personal direc-
ton of Supt. E. w. Walker.
For the benefit of the deaf mutes of
Wisconsin and later those of the en-
tire country, methods of presenting the
classic and modern drama are being
changed and in short time it is ex-
pected that the unfortunates without
hearing or power of speech will be
able to enjoy the stage as fully and
with the same understanding of those
who hear and speak.
The new theater" idea grows out
of a novel theatrical performance Civ
en- at the state school here some weeks
ago, when Shakespeare's Tanning of
the Shrew' was presented in the sign
language by the students, assisted by
instructors. The performance was so
satisfactory and the idea so practic-
able that it suggested the development
of a new field of the drama.

"hS' SIS FNRF~G'S bt NSSooa
adysmith.-What may prove to be
a daring case of white slave kidnap-
ping has been reported from Conrath,
village five miles south of this city.
For several days the sheriff and depu-
ties with several posses have been
securing the woods for the alleged
kidnapper and his victim, but no clew
that would lead to their identity.
The report was brought to this city
by two boys who were hunting. The
boys say that during their trip they
met young woman who appealed to
them for help, telling them she had
been enticed away from her home at
Chippewa Falls and was being held a
prisoner by man whose cabin was
near at hand.
The young woman appeared to be
telling a truthful story and seemed to
be in great fear, as she kept looking
about continually while asking. Be-
fore the boys could assist her or learn
the location of the cabin and further
particulars about the young woman,
her captor appeared and led her away.
The boys not daring to take any
chances with the stranger, moved on,
and did not attempt to locate the
young woman's prison

La Toilette Speaks on r. r. Bill.

Washington, May 26.-"There is not
one line in the statutes to give to the
people reasonable railroad rates" de-
clared Senator La Toilette in the SEN
ate.
"All that has been accomplished, y
he said, sis to afford a means OF CIV
ing equal rates to shippers"
The interest of the shipper was by
no means the interest of the general
public he asserted.
He declared the people generally
were as much entitled to protection as
the shippers.
Forty years ago the fight was begun
with that end in view, he said, and it
was as much a fight against extOrtion
as against discrimination but in the
former respect there had been an
utter failure.
With the huge chart to show the
relative Importance of the various rail-
road groups" the Wisconsin senator
spoke in support of the Cummins
amendment to the railroad bill requlr-
ing the prior approval by hte inter-
state commerce commission OF in
crease in railroad rates
Says Railways Have Had Own Way.
"The interstate commerce commits
sion is engaged in a mere ch1lds
play" said Senator LaFollette, add
ing that it was so hedged about that
it could not effectively deal with the
problem. "The rules of the senate
seem to be so formed as to prevent
one from speaking the truth. The
railroads have been having their way
for forty years. We have the sins of
MANY congresses to atone for before
we permit this bill to pass from our
hands"
While the rate regulation provision
of the presidents original bill was in
the public interest Senator LaFollette
said, the provision had been so modi-
fed by Senators Aldrich and Elkins
wholly in the interests of the rail-
roads.
Since Jan. 1, he said, the rates on
wool from ST. Louis and Duluth to
New York has increased II and 1S
per cent, on grain and grain prod
ucts, domestic, from st. Louis to New
York, 1S per cent, and from Chicago
to New York, 80 per cent; fresh meats
from Missouri river points to Chicago,
Is per cent; Missouri river points to
East St. Louis, % per cent, and the
rates on horses and mules between st.
Paul and La Crosse, 10 per cent.
Out of multitude of rates to be-
come effective June l, he cited the
following:
Agricultural implements, Chicago to
St. Paul, 1914 per cent; brick, st. Paul
to Chicago, 1928 per cent; cement, st.
Paul to Chicago, 25 per cent; harness
&C. L., St. Paul to Chicago, Is per
cent; hides, green salt, st. Paul to
Chicago, 24.3 per cent; paints, Chi
cago to ST. Paul, 15.4 per cent; wag
ons, Lake City, Mimi, to ST. Louis,
14.4 per cent; wool, ST. Paul to Chi

Chief Justice Praises Late Atty. Bush
nell at Presentation Of Memorial.

Madison-Chief Justice John B.
Winslow of the Wisconsin supreme
court made a brief address before a
packed court room at the presentation
of memorial to Atty. Allen r. Bush
nell, Lancaster, who died in Madison
March 26, 1909, at the age of 70, after
having practiced before the court for
over fifty years.
THE death of Mr.. Bushnell closed
a long and useful and eminently hon
orable career, he said. LAS a soldier,
a legislator and member of the bar,
he met the duties and responsibilities
of life and in all these capacities he
acquitted himself like the true man
that he was.
eve may not say he was a man of
genius, but he certainly possessed the
more desirable qualities of courtesy,
integrity and unfiagging industry;
combined with these there was intel
lectual ability of a high order and en-
tire devotion to duty. He possessed
and well deserved the confidence of
his fellowmen. He was somewhat too
deliberate and cermonious, perhaps,
to attain great success in these days
of stenography and speed, but still he
presented refreshing picture of the
old-fashioned lawyer whom CONNER
cialism had not reached and who still
retained the dignified ways and high
ideas which marked a more leisurely
and courtly generation of the bar.
He will be missed at his home, he
will be missed in the trial courts, and
he will be missed here, but the mem
DRY of his amiable qualities and solid
worth as citizen and lawyer will
be long preserved"

Mr.. Zemke ran long silver into his

JAMES A. TAWNEY.
Congressman from First District os
Minnesota.

and which obtained the endorsement
of the Republican majority of the
ways and means committee.
Both parties in the house, or a large
majority of both parties, are pledged
against a tariff commission.
The Democrats resist this PROPOSE
ton more firmly than do the Republi-
cans. The leaders of both parties,
however, assert that information is
desirable.
President Taft believes that through
the tariff board which was created
under the new tariff law, all neces-
sary information can be obtained and
the president will be in a position to
make suggestions to congress with
respect to the tariff and revenues.
based upon the inquiries which this
tariff board, aided by experts and
special agents that will be employed
for the work, shall collect during the
next few years.
Mr.. Tawney so worded his amend
ment as to make it apply only to in
formation necessary for the enforce
ment of the tariff law.
Brief Debate Preceded.
A brief debate preceded the decision
ruling out a previous amendment in
which Mr.. Tawney accused the Dem
ocrats of desiring to be in ignorance
of the facts about the tariff.
The president was never called up
on to go to my district to save my
scalp" angrily shouted Mr.. Macon of
Arkansas in the house when Mr.. Taw-
new tainted him with having recent
ly gone home because he was afraid
his constituency would not send him
back to congress. He referred to
President Taft's western trip and his
visit to Winona, the home of Mr.
Tawney, to make political speech
designed to aid the Minnesota mem
Der in his campaign.
Although Mr.. Macon's time had ex-
pired and he had been informed of
the fact by Mr.. Mann of Illinois, who
occupied the chair, his wrath had
been aroused to such a pitch that he
would not take his seat until warned
that the sergeant-at-arms would COM
pei him to be in order.
Mr. Tawney said that in view of
Mr.. Macon's great indignation he
would not say anything in reply. The
heated colloquy between the two
members occurred in connection with
a discussion of an amendment to the
sundry civil bill to appropriate $780,
900 to defray the expenses of board
to modernize methods in the execu
tive departments. 1t was killed by
