toes for che absence of hollo "
centers, in fact the freshness OF
the whole exhibit was a source
of common remark.
Our sheaf grains, grasses, and
especially our apples, were com.
mentei upon in words and
tones indicating surprise, and
especially that the lands produc-
ing them lave been passed
by for lands far less produc-
tive, less desirably located and
not blessed with the unex-
celled markets which constitute
one of the most valuable assests
of the Wisconsin farmer.
No citizen Of any part of Wis
cousin could have compared our
exhibit With others without hav-
ing a higher appreciation of his
own state.
The frontage of our exhibit
was continuously blocked with
people from morning till night.
The fact that our exhibit was i'm :

" attested than by the fact that
out of nearly five thousand
pamphlets given to visitors, les s
then twenty could be found on
floors or walks. an average of
about three per day. 1t goes
without the assertion that thous-
ands of people carried home
revised idea of Wisconsin and
that they meant it when they
said that they would advise their
friends to seek homes in WIS.,
consin instead Of distant and
isolated sections.
The comparisons to be seen on
this occasion emphasizes the
fact which the writer has en-
deavored to impress upon Wis
consin people, that we are under
estimating the present and fu-
ture value of our lands and that
those values will rapidly rise.
We are told that lands in Illinois
range as high as $4,000 to $3.50.

more rapidly than heretofore.

is to be the future value of our

the bringing of the peopl e

''HAND-HOLES"
BLOW OUT IN
THE LIGHTER

About ten O'Clock this morning the
500-ton steam lighter John V. Craven,
owned by the N. Y. g. N. ]. Steamboat
Company, was observed coming towards
the city from the direction of the light
house. She was enveloped in steam and
was blowing her distress signal-three
long blasts. With just enough steam
pressure for steerage-way, she managed
to reach the steamboat wharf and tied
up alongside Of the steamer st. Mich

that, on her way to the Vaseline Works
for cargo, two hand-holes" had

Frank Kirshon, the assistant engineer,
who was below and near the boiler at
the time, was all but. smothered by the
escaping steam, but succeeded in OPEN

the feed pump before getting out Of the
boiler room. In another moment he
would have been suffocated and killed.

concerning their son, Lester Tho

COMMUTERS
HAPPY OVER
THE VICTORY
Railroads Have Postponed
Raise in Rates Until Au-
gust | for Investigation.
STATE TOOK PROMINENT
PART IN MATTER

ICast Orange, N. j., June 26.--When
the downtrodden commuters gathered
at the railroad stations this morning
for their usual daily journeys their
faces were wreathed with smiles be-.
cause the New Jersey railroads have
decided to postpone the enforcing of
the increased passenger rates. Some
of the coaches filed with commuters
resembled excursion coaches filled with
merrymakers, as there was much JOY
Gus laughter and an occasional burst of
song.
After Thomas r.. Creede had been
informed by Governor Fort that the
presidents of all the railroads operat-
ing in New Jersey had agreed to COM
ply with the request Of the interstate
commerce commission by suspending
rates for thirty days Mr.. Creede de-
clares the news to herald one of the
greatest victories ever won by the peo-
pie.
The governor told Mr.. Creede, the
latter said, that the agreement to sus-
pend the rates was the result of the
arguments made before the interstate
commerce commission by Attorney
General Wilson of New Jersey. Mr..
Creede holds the opinion that the ap-
peal made by Terry Parker, another
member of the Commuters league,
week ago has also had much to do
with it.
The governor told Mr.. Creede that
the railroad action meant only the be-
ginning of the fight. Mr.. Creede says
that efforts will not be abated for the
calling OF the special session OF the
legislature
Trenton, N. j., June 25.-Governof
Fort received assurances that in com.
pliance with the request made by the
interstate commerce commission the
railroads in New Jersey would suspend
until Aug. / the enforcement of theiI
new tariff schedules increasing passen'
ger rates. He was told that there
might be slight modification Of the re-
quest made by the commission, but
that In substantially every instance
the present rates would be maintained
for another month The receipt of this
information, for which the governor
remained at the state house all day,
prompted him to make statement In
which he practically disclaimed any
intention of calling the legislature to-
gether in special session to consider
legislation restricting the railroads in
their charges. He pointed out the
probable futility of an extra session
and took occasion to criticise rather
sharply those who have been clamorine
for immediate and drastic action on
the part of the state without any ap
parent realization of the intricate prob
lens involved in the controversy.

WILL PETITION
THE MAYOR TO
TRANSFER COP

Julius Miller, a furniture dealer, of
Fayette and State streets, who was ar
rested by Patrolman Andrew Jensen on
Wednesday night, charged with viola
tion of the sidewalk ordinance, has ap-
Piled to Mayor Bollschweiler to have
the patrolman transferred from his
present beat to one in another section
Of the city. He claims the officer holds
a personal grudge against him that has
been the underlying motive for his be-
ing thrice arrested by Jensen.
~ "A petition for the transfer of the
patrelman, it Is understood, has been
signed by number of State street
merchants and viii be presented the
mayor
While the mayor has listened to Mil
Ter and has had Patrolman Jensen rep
rimanded by Chief Burke, he is not in
clined at the present time, he says, to
change the patrolman g beat. "Jensen,
I understand, was trife hasty in max
ing the arerst, said the mayor this
morning, "but for that have had
him reprimanded. / do not think his
beat viii be changed.
Patrolman Jensen claims he has been
compelled to arrest Miller three times
for violations of sidewalk and rubbish
ordinances.
with pocket rule I measured the
distance from the curb to the stoves
which he had on display before his store
and found them occupying several feet
Of the sidewalk proper" said the pa
trolman. "I understand that Miller
wants to know why I didn t have a
warrant issued for his arrest. Well, the
last time he was arrested on warrant
and told to appear before the recorder,
he failed to put in an appearance, and
1t was only after he was sent for that
he made his way, through side streets,
80 that he would not meet the officer
sent to arrest him, to the court"
Miller was to have been arraigned
last night, but owing to flaw in the
complaint drawn up by City Attorney
Hommann the case was dismissed 1t
will be brought up again next week.

AT TEMPT MADE TO
DYNAMITE FEDERAL
TERRA COT IA PLANT
Night WatChman Saw Two Men Who
Fled Leaving Sticks Of Dynamite
With The Fuses Behind.
PINKERTON MEN AT WORK

officials at the Federal Terra
Gotta Company at Woodbridge are
investigating the supposed attempt
to blow up the plant with dynamite
Thursday night. Two men were
seen near the laboratory about mid
night and when they found they
were discovered they fed, leaving
two sticks of dynamite with fuses
behind. The. nature of their errand
was not known until after they had
made good their escape. Pinkerton
men were put to work on the case
yesterday and this morning 1t was
announced that they had secured
enough evidence to warrant arrests
being made in few days.
1t was while the watch man,
Anthony Lally, was making his
rounds that the attempt was discov-
cred. He has number of time
clocks in different parts of the
works that he must punch at given
hours. This keeps the watchman on
the move. He had no warning that
anyone was near until, as he ap-
preached the clock at the laboratory,
he saw two forms in the darkness.
At the same time the men must

they disappeared at once. Lally
went to the place where he saw the
men and there found the two sticks
of dynamite with the fuses. A re-
port was at once made of the matter
and some lively work has been done
since in an effort to sift the affair to
the bottom.
The officials of the terra Gotta
company feel certain that an attempt
was made to blow up their plant or
at least do considerable damage.
There is every indication that tha
building to be dynamited was the
laboratory, the loss of which would
be a serious blow to the new concern
at this time. 1t is believed that
those who were behind the attempt
to use the dynamite knew the vital
parts of the works and they were
aiming at that feature.
The Federal Terra Gotta Company
has been formed but a short time A
large plant has recently been opened
In Woodbridge just over the line
from Perth Amboy. Several large
contracts have been made by the new
concern and the works are very busy
