DO you contemplate further
court action?" Birdsall was asked.
1T depends on what the meeting
does" was the reply.
SHOWING TEARNEY Up.
At 1870 the meeting adjourned I'M
til O'Clock without definite action
with regard to Waterloo 1t devel-
cped the aim of the Waterloo fac
ton was to put President Tearney on
record in every way possible to sub
stantiate their claims he is conspir-
ing with the so-called southern clubs
to Gust Waterloo.
MEANS APPEAL TO COURTS.
There is every indication the four
northern clubs will stand together
in favor of Waterloo when the mat
ter of Ousting that club comes up,
and the four southern clubs will op-
pose, and if Tearney attempts to cast
the deciding vote it is declared this
will throw the matter into the courts.
This he will do if he remains con-
sistent with his course this after
noon, as he cast the deciding vote in
favor of his rulings on several ap-
peals from the decision of the chair,
which was himself.

TWO CHILDREN LOSE
LIVES WHEN HOUSE BURNS

home at No. 10 Chestnut-st., Satur-
day afternoon, the victims being
Bertha. aged four years, and Louis,
eight years, children Of Richard Ar
better. who occupied the lower part
OF the house. Another child, Frank,
10 months old, was rescued by Will
liam Noble. Ia years old, living at No.
391 Orleans-st., who crawled through
window OF the burning house and
carried the infant out
The other two children were found
lying on a bed, when the firemen ar
rived There was still some life In
their little bodies, but they died on
the way to ST. Mary's hospital.
The mother of the little ones was
not at home when the fire broke out.

She left Mary, daughter 13 years
old, in charge of the home. The lat
ter also went out and while she was
gone, the fire started In the upper

the cause of the blaze is not known.

A great book might be written on
the years OF fighting I.aFollette had
before he got this commission. A
large proportion of the passengers
rode on passes. all the big shippers
got rebates, and everybody OF intu
ence had free service from the city
utilities. All the fellows who were
getting favors lined up against La
Folletteism. But Bob finally won
and now almost everybody Is for him
The city service corporations find
that his commission does them good
They are allowed 10 earn fair divi
bends. The whole matter OF regula
ton Is taken from the city councils
and the arrangements of the public
utilities don't have TO get down into
the slime of city politics TO protect
themselves from adverse city action
The decent fellows who run these
concerns are glad of this. make nc
mistake about that,
The commission is dead against new
gas, lighting or power companies, and
Il is hard for new ones TO get in. The
commission prefers TO give the pres
ent companies the field, and make
them give good service al reasonable
rates.
The railways and public utilities are
out OF politics and rather like il. The
railways are making more money than
in most states. Wisconsin has had
much more than her share OF railway
building under the LaFollette regime
The commission makes the public
utilities keep up their plants. and
won't let them capitalize any water
and the bonds OF such companies meet
with better sale on Wall-st. than dc
those OF other states.

COPPER COUNTRY BOY
is MUSICAL PRODIGY

SOUTH RANGE, Mich. Nov. I'll
The Michigan copper country has 4
musical prodigy in the person OF Joht
Wolpe. 10 years OF age, OF South
Range. The youngster needs only TO
hear piece OF music played once,
anything from Casey, Jones" TO the
"Miserere" from III Trovatore," when
he can play the same selection on
almost any instrument. He is most
at home on the piano, The youngster
is OF Italian parentage.
The boys first musical attempt was
made when he was four years old.
His father, miner In the Baltic
mine, owned an accordion which he
kept on high shelf. The youngster
was not allowed TO touch the instru-
ment, but by piling two boxes on a
chair he managed TO reach the &C
Gordon and. crawling under a .bed.
tried TO play one of the tunes - had
heard his father play. He was sue
cessful His father then decided to
let the boy practice. In about week
the son. still in dresses, was showing
the father new pieces on the accord
ion and how they should be played.
Young Wolpes next musical expert
ence was with the Baltic band. He
played a clarinet At that time he
was IL years old. The first night he
had the clarinet. and he had never
seen one before, he could play the
chromatic scale. In about a month
he was able TO hold his own in the
band. The organ was the next in
strument Johnny tried TO play. He
practiced two weeks, and then could
play almost anything he heard. He
next tried the piano, and because OF
its similarity TO the organ he had no
difficulty whatever. The boy plays en-
tirely by ear He is employed at a

DETROIT OPERA HOUSE.

ghe Land OF the Little Father
where pinched. starved poverty wan
ders the streets and haunts the couh'
try districts, while the bodies OF the
dead rulers lie In caskets OF gold, sill
yer and Jewels. In cathedral, the
walls OF which are plated with preci-
Gus metals and studded with gems
was the subject OF probably the most
forcefuIly interesting of the Newman
travel talks 20 date, in the Detroit
opera house, Sunday evening.
Mr.. Newman declared, In his open
ing remarks. that much that was raise
about the .inaccessibility of the coun-
rysto foreigners was told TO the world
N exaggerated stories of the passport
and police surveillance systems,
which. he said, often caused much IN
convenience TO the tourist, but the
latter was always the recipient OF
courtesy by the officials. However.
he frankly admitted that while the
Russian Cosasck was an agreeable
fellow 10 the tourist, his greeting TO
Mnjik, or Russian OF the lower
class, was usually a blow with the
knout, which each Cossack carries.
and uses at the slightest proyocation.
Over 90 per cent of the Russian
people, Mr.. Newman said, are Hitter
ate. The country is so vast that
there are Is square miles OF land Tor
each person in the empire, and 80 per
cent OF Russian soil has never been
disturbed by farm implement.
While the tourist is treated with
courtesy astonishing after what we
are led to expect. there is an air Of
mystery which eternally hangs over
the country, where Nihilists are in the
palace of the cZar as well as IN the
novels of the peasants said the lee
turer
Pictures of Jews. taken within the
''pale of settlement TO which they
are confined. showed their conditions.
and the lecturer explained how they
are not only restricted as TO resi-
dence, but are also restricted TO GER
tain occupations. and are burdened
with a double tax
Among the most interesting of the
Views shown was long film of my
ing pictures OF the estate of the late
Count Tolstoi, and one saw the IA!
nous peasant nobleman" in his
home, in bath robe and slippers. The
pictures were taken only three months
before the great Russian died.
Rather sensational were the scenes
of one OF the frequent floods in Mos
COW, which sweep through the streets
like rushing rivers. One wagon was
swept over by the current. and man
was drowned while Mr.. Newman was
taking the pictures. These and other
views gave one an intimate concep-
ton OF the real Russia. and the
speakers powers of descriptive mar
rative made it seem like personally
conducted tour.
