UPHOLD MOVE TO
CHANGE SITE
ASSEMBLY DOWNS MOTION TO
RECONSIDER VOTE OF
RESOLUTION.
ATTACKS MORMON CHURCH
Gettle Resolution for Cons titutiona
Amendment Prohibiting Polyganay
Was Adopted Other Bills Also
Given Consideration.

Madison.-By a vote of 4 a to 81
the assembly defeated the O'Connor
motion to reconsider the vote by
which the Plowman resolution, au-
thorizing the commissioner of public
lands to secure options to suitable
site for the state fair, was adopted.
The movement to take the fair
away from Milwaukee has assumed
serious aspect and Milwaukee mem
bers intend to get busy to head if
off.
With Speaker Ingram encouraging
old-time agricultural shows and
county fairs, the race horse bill in
troduced by the committee on agri-
cultural exhibits is expected to Gre
ate a big stir Formerly the state
paid so per cent of the total pre-
miums with not more than one
third for the races.
The new bill fixes the amount of
the state aid to county fairs at so
per cent of all premiums, including
the purses for races. Without fixing
maximum amount for the speed de-
partment, the bill is sure to cause
legislative argument.
The bill further provides that any
county or agricultural association
which holds a fair within a week
when the state fair is in progress,
shall forfeit all right to state aid.
Declaring that as the Mormon
church is as great a menace to the
country as any great special inter-
est in Wall street, Assemblyman
Gettle made a plea for his joint res
olution memoralizing congress to call
convention to propose an amend
ment to the constitution of the
United States prohibiting polygamy.
The liberation of polygamy is a ma
tional insult to womanhood and
childhood. The resolution was
adopted by vote of 46 to 35.
The assembly committee on the
welfare of women and children re-
ported in a new labor bill for women,
which provides a ten-hour workday
and not more than fifty-five hours a
week, and establishes eight hours
work at night as a maximum.
The assembly by a vote of AZ to
SO, killed the Strouf bill abolishing
the present state oil inspection de-
partment and giving the inspection
work to the state dairy and food de-
partment. Assemblyman Spoor said
that the state dairy and food COM
missioner had all the work he could
do without adding more.
The assembly adopted the Hahn
bill relating to the Sherman anti
trust law and asking congress to
establish certain exemptions.
Milwaukee will be without a pro-
baton officer. The assembly killed
the bill providing for such an Off
cial at salary of $1,800.
The new hospital for the criminal
insane will probably be built at
Waupun as the Ballard bill, naming
Waupun as the site, was advanced
to engrossment.

charge proceeded to the Hudson Tun-
mel station. While waiting for 6 tun.
mel train an elderly man suggested co
Mrs. Watson that she had better stand
well back from the edge of the plat
form.
You know these drafts are very
bad for babies" said the elderly gen.
tleman. Mrs. Watson smiled and
thanked the solicitous old man. Never
once during the trip to Manhattan did
the pig betray himself.
At Thitty-third street Mrs. Watson
hailed taxicab, and In this the last
lap of the journey was made. At the
theater Mrs. Watson alighted and
paid her fare. The movement of get
ting into her purse must have dis
turbed the pig. for there was a sudden
squeal and very vigorous wriggle.
The baby cap slipped back, displaying
a very piglike face. 1t was then that
the chauffeur began rubbing his eyes
and pincning himself.
In a few days the little pig Will
take the place of the elderly porker in
the barnyard scene. He is now un-
dertaking the necessary preliminary
training.

nounced guilty of the murder of Dep
uty Oscar Harp during the siege OF
Cameron dam on Oct. 8, 1910, by
the jury, after that body had been
out sixteen hours. Mrs. Dietz and
Leslie, charged jointly, were ae-
quilted.
The old smile with which the old
man had always faced the things
that have happened to- him, did not
desert him. He smiled as the judge
read the verdict handed up by the
foreman of the jury. He made no
demonstration.
His name was the first read. AS
the words came out, frOwn came
over the face of Mrs. Dietz, and she
glared at the jury.
Leslie took the staggering news
with sickly grin, and waves OF color
swept across his face.
Judge Reid interrupted Dietz In
the midst of his argument and the
latter took his seat.
Mrs. Dietz had dropped on her
husbands shoulder and her right
arm slipped about his neck. Tears
streamed down her cheeks.
When the verdict was announced,
John Dietz arose calmly and asked
for a new trial on the ground that
much of the material evidence had
been ruled out and also on the
ground of errors of law. Judge Reid
denied the motion.
Judge Reid called upon Dietz to-
rise and said:
'It is the judgment of the court
and your sentence is that you, John
Dietz, be punished by imprisonment
for life at the state penitentiary at
Waupun and that one day each year,
namely, Oct. 8, you shall be kept in
solitary confinement.
John Dietz' teeth we're closed like
a vice and his jaws were set, but
sinister grin slowly crept over his
iron mask, but quickly disappeared
when be reiterated:
eff the lumber trust needs a vic
tim I can stand it.
Dietz announces that he will make
an appeal of the case.
The jury spent almost the entire
night in argument with no apparent
intention of reporting for some time.
Many times the heated arguments
all but penetrated through the wallis
of the jury rooms in the back of the
Giblin hotel and gave evidence OF
tho conflict which was raging within
the dingy back room in favor OF and
against the conviction Of the Wis
consin backwoodsman and that Of
his wife and son.
Twice the jury called for Judge
Reid for further instructions and
for exhibits which had not been taken
to the jury room.
