BILL FOR LAUNCH
A LEGAL CHARGE
WARDEN RICKEMAN PRESENTS
CLAIM OF 1926 FOR
POWER BOAT.
Madison, July


Attorney General Gilbert has been
asked by Secretary of State Frear for
an opinion upon the legality of a
claim made by the game warden de-
partment for the purchase price of a
launch to be used on the four-Iake wa
tiers.
Il appears that for years the de-
partment has been annoyed here and
hindered in its work by failure to be
able to secure prompt action when ac-
tivity was demanded in the pursuit of
violators of the game laws on Lakes
Kegonsa, Waubesa, Monona and Men
dota Launch owners have not been
prompt to provide service when need
ed, they have charged excessively for
launch hire and by concerted action
violators have been warned when the
officers of the department have gone
out in their pursmit.
And so Game Warden Rickeman has
thought that a strict regard for the
Interests Of the department, both i'll
the matter of efficiency and economy,
the service of a good launch would
be effective and in the end save to
the department large item of ex-
pense. To this end he bought a
launch, a good one, twenty foot long,
thoroughly equipped with power, built
on substantial lines and speedy as
motor boats go. He made the pur-
| chase at Oshkosh and the boat deliv.
cred here cost some 1926. 1t was for
this amount that he made the claim
that is now under question.
1t has been intimated that the attor.
ney. general will hold that the matter
is one that lies with the game warden
himself, the limitation being reason
able necessity" If the department
requires the use of a launch and if
its administration may be made more
effective thereby, then the bill is a
legal one without question is said to
by the view of the law department.
The question involved, however, is
a serious one" said state official
yesterday speaking of the matter.
While no objection may be properly
made to the present case, circum-
stances might arise where abuse
would grow into the administration of
the state. Even automobiles for state
officials might be paid for as depart
ment necessities and other equally
questionable practices allowed to
creep into the ways of doing things. !"

A Live Church.

Collier's.-The Manhattan Congre-
gational church in New York City
prints a little weekly leafet such as
is common in churches. 1t gives Ger
tain official information, the regular
concerning the Sun
day school, the day and hour of Sun
day and weekday services. Then it
makes a novel departure. The last
three pages are printed under the
heading, THE Christian Citizen" Of
these information is given concerning
the status of pending bills in congress
and in the state legislature. One
sentence in one of the weekly issues
reads: eve remind our voting mem
hers that the congressional election
comes this year; there will be no
time TO do anything in the fall, and
our acquaintance with the record and
character of our congressman should
be developed during this spring."

JAP RUSSO PACT
A MILD AFFAIR
UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
OFFICIALS FIND NO
EVIL IN 1T.

Washington, July 13.-The text of
the long expected Manchurian con-
vention between Japan and Russia,
signed July at ST. Petersburg, was
made public last night 1t is one OF
the shortest important treaties of
modern times, being just 237 words
in length.
Heralded as a direct and powerful
blow at the United States, it is I'M
derstood that officials of this govern
ment regard the convention itself as
little more than a harmless appendage
to the convention between Russia and
Japan in 1907. The treaty provides
for the maintenance of the Manchur-
ian status quo and contains agree
ments looking to the development of
Manchurian railways. The principles
of equal opportunities in the far east
and the integrity of China are pre-
served 1t is known that British and
German governments find nothing OBJ
jectionable in the pact.

CROOKED BANKERS
SHORTAGE LARGE

Louisville, KY, July 13.-The adj
mission that the shortage OF August
Ropke, the defaulting assistant secre-
tary of the Fidelity Trust company.
is very large" was made ats the
trust company offices yesterday. At
the same time it was announced that
the directors of the company had
pledged themselves to increase
81 600, 900 in capital stock after such
increase is necessary.
President John w. Barr issued a
statement saying that the securities
had been found intact and rnat no
one would lose a dollar save the
stockholders. Apparently there is
widespread faith in the officials and
directors of the institution, because
there has been no run.
Ropke's shortage was paced by a
current rumor at about 100000. 1t
is said that the speculations began
between 10 and Is years ago. 1t is
generally supposed he manipulated
individual accounts.
Ropke's operations were confined
TO the stock market.

READING
Of SUFFRAGE BILL

London, July 13.-The house of com
mon, by vote of 229 to 100, last
night passed the second reading of
the womens suffrage bill. The bill
provides for the granting of parlia-
mentary franchise to women who are
possessed of property qualification
and who already exercise the franchise
in municipal elections.
The unexpectedly large majority
gives an important impetus to the
women's outrage, but many obstacles
must be overcome before the principle
is legalized The house subsequently
referred the bill to the committee of
the whole, which means that the bill
will be shelved until next year.
