ANT|-T|PP|NG BILL
WILL Be OPPOSED
RAILWAY AND HOTEL MEN AT
MADISON FOR FIGHT ON
JOHNSON MEASURE.
MAKES EMPLOYERS LIABLE
Bill Prohibits Receiving of Gratuities
by Employees With knowledge OF
EmpIoyers-Pulman Company As

Madison.-The Pullman Palace Car
company and several Milwaukee no.
tells and restaurants were represented
when the assembly judiciary commit
tee took up consideration of the c. j..
Johnson anti-tipping bill, which pro-
hibits the receiving of gratuities by
employees with the knowledge of their
employers.
Ralph Jackman. of Madison, who
represents the sleeping car manufac-
turers, told the committee that the
Pullman Palace Car company does
not run a single car in Wisconsin
that is not engaged in interstate bust
ness. Thus it cannot be affected by a
state law.
Burton Hanson, general solicitor
for the Milwaukee road, said that his
company had forestalled the bill by
giving its parlor car porters orders
not TO use the whisk broom indis-
criminately, but to have it ready only
in cases where passengers asked for
Il brushing. Among those appearing
against the measure were Alvin +.
Kletzsch for the Milwaukee Hotel
Mems association; Fred Herwig, rep
resenting the retaurant men; Chaun-
cey w. Blake, representing the 500
road, and H. w. Bolens, vice-presi-
dent of the Wisconsin Manufacturers
association.

CONGRESS EXPENDITURES HlGl
Appropriations Pass Billion Mark
Democrat Scores Extravaganza.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS at IT,
last session Of congress aggregated
81 ops, 4S0 662, according TO the state
ments issued by former Represen-
tives Tawney of Minnesota and Liv-
ingston of Georgia, who were respec-
lively chairman and ranking DEM
ocrat of the house appropriations COM
mittee in the last congress.
Declaring that the Democrats want
to save the people of this country from
the danger which threaten them be-
cause of the rampant expenditure OF
their money that has been going on for
the past twelve years" Mr.. Livingston
In his statement contends that mill
tarism IS a menace and that Democrat
ic accession Will prevent national
bankruptcy. He says it is a superhu-
man task to restore expenditures to a
normal level because of the enormous
liability fastened upon the treasury
by the statutory increase of the en-
listed strength of the army and the
navy fourfold since Mr., Roosevelt was
so unhappily called to the executive
Office of the republic"

CALLS CONGRESS
BEST SINCE WAR
Taft Speaks Before Commercial
Body at Atlanta.
SAYS RECIPROCITY WILL WIN
President Declares Ratification OF
Treaty With Japan Was Greatest
Achievement Of Sixty
First Session.

Atlanta, Cain a notable address
before the Southern Commercial CON
gress in this city President William
II. Taft pleaded with the young men
of the south to take up the political
issues Of the day from broad and
liberal standpoint, but cautioned them
that all sectionalism and narrow par
tisanship should be eliminated.
Come fully into our national com
munion," said The president. with the
patriotic purpose of stimulating the
progress Of our civilization in every
right direction. maintaining our coun-
try's prosperity and accommodating lts
wealth. but always in subordination
to higher ethical standards and to
the promotion OF righteousness ana
Justice"
The president reviewed briefly the
accomplishments OF the Sixty-hrst
congress, declaring that in its three
sessions just closed it had enacted
more helpful legislation than any con-
gress since the Civil war.
Mr.. Taft asserted that the greatest
accomplishment of the short session.
ended March 4, was the ratification
of the Japanese treaty. The greatest
disappointment, he said, was the fail
ure Of congress to ratify the reciproc-
ity agreement with Canada. In this
connection he referred to his action
in calling an extra session OF con-
gress to convene on April 4.
MY opinion is" said Mr.. Taft. that
a majority of both houses, disregard
ing party lines, will seize a great ma
tional opportunity and promptly ratify
the agreement before proceeding to
other business"
Here the president paused for
moment. Evidently he turned over In
his mind the Democratic statement
that several OF the tariff schedules
would be considered at the extra SEES
sion.
'If," he added significantly, 1T be
deemed wise or necessary to proceed
to other business"
In the hope. perhaps, that tariff leg
islation may be avoided at the extra
session, the president pledged him
self to furnish to the Democratic
house at its regular meeting in De
cember next report from the tariff
commission on schedule X OF the
Payne-AldriCh act-of the wool and
wOolens schedule
Among the other speakers were
John Hays Hammond Bernard n
Baker, Baltimore; Surgeon General
/ Walter Wyman,' Coz. Woodrow VII
son Of New Jersey, and Secretary Of
! War Dickinson.

SLIDE ENTOMBS 80
MEN IN OPEN PIT
Only Four of Track Laying Gang Es'
cape kvaanche-Bodies Ground
to Shreds.

Virginia, Minn.-Ten bodies, crushed
almost into an unrecognizable mass
of flesh and bones, have been
recovered from the Norman open
pit mine where an avalanche OF
earth, rock, ice and snow buried
twenty-six miners. The other six
teen bodies have not been reached,
but the mine Off Gals are bending
every effort TO expedite the work OF
rescue The catastrophe was due, It
is said. to the thaws of the last few
days suddenly loosening powders and
earth and forcing the ore body TO
slide toward the bottom of the pit
ONLY four who were working on the
outer edge had chance to run, and
escaped the avalanche. Three OF
these are in hospital suffering from
probably fatal injuries.
The place that was an open pit be-
fore the slide is a choked area OF rock
and ore and earth, with here and
there parts of a body In sight. An
army OF men with shovels Is working
desperately to recover the bodies. Ihe
work Is tedious and pursued under eH
IRENE difficulties.
II will be days before the bodlea
can be recovered and all the parts OF
many probably never VIII be as'
sembled The mass OF rock and eartE
ground many of them into shreds.
The name of only one victim could
be learned, Paul Paulson, widower
who leaves seven children. HIS VIE
died a month ago,
The miners who were taking up one
of the two tracks in the pit In order
to permit the great steam shoVel 70
work In another section OF the mine
were for the most part bent over with
bars and claws when the avalanche
swept them into eternity. There was
no chance for anybody to move a foot.
Chief OF Police Ellis Walsh was nou-
fed OF the accident by one Of the
mine engineers. He FASTENED TO the
mine. which is about three-qaurteTs or
mile outside the city limits, but
found that the forces of the OllVer
Mining company We're amply aDIe 10
take care Of the situation from the
standpoint of preventing undue con
fusion. The women and children who
had lost their husbands and fathers
talked in their native tongue TO the
men who were shOveling.
The Norman employs about 1000
men when running to capacity Just
at this time, however several nun
bred are employed working in night
and day shifts.

COL. ROOSEVELT REFUSES
TO SEE INSURRECT0S
Asserts He VIII Not Confer With
Any Mexican Rebel Representa-
tive in Texas.

San Antonio, Tex-Colonel RoOse-
welt will not talk with any rep
resentative of the Mexican insur-
gents during his trip through Texas.
He made this statement to the press
because OF rumors that conference
of some sort had been arranged Dy
friends of the insurgents. The colonei
declared that the report was absurd.
1t is true, however, that request
for hearing during his journey along
the southern border OF toe United
States was conveyed to the colonei at
Oyster Bay at the desire OF insur-
gent adherents. 1t met with prompt
and unqualified refusal.
Colonel Roosevelt was given a most
enthusiastic reception when he ar
rived here on special train.
For the entire mile of the route to
hotel from the depot thousands of clti-
zens cheered him wildly. 1t was here
that he organized his Rough Riders,
and he had many friends as guard OF
honor. From the depot to the hotel
was a detachment of the Spanish
American war veterans, among them
being some of his former command.
The former president made no adj
dress, retiring Immediately to his
room on arriving at the hotel. He in
spected the maneuver camp at Fort
Sam Houston today. There was no
special exercises arranged in his
honor.
The customary salute for an ex-
president was fired in honor of Colonel
Roosevelt After a visit to headquar-
tiers he made tour of inspection OF
the 10000 men who have reached the
maneuver camp.
New Orleans, La, March 13.-John
]. Cohan, a crank who says he was
born in East st. Louis, but halls from
South Dakota, was arrested as he was
trying to force his way into the
French opera house to get at Colonel
Roosevelt
That he is man with grievances
he admits, though he denies having
had any designs on Roosevelt. He
had a razor in his pocket and gave
vague excuse for carrying 1t. He ac-
knowledged that he beat Roosevelt to
the city, showing that he had come
here for some purpose
He claims to have staked claim
in South Dakota. that he had trouble
with the land Office over 1t and was a
victim. He was unkempt and wore a
long beard, and denounced Roosevelt
for unfriendliness to labor, particular
ly the miners of the northwest.

BILLS INTRODUCED :
COVER WIDE RANGE
NEARLY EVERYTHING TOUCHtO
UPON BY 1900 MEASURES
BEFORE LEGISLATURE.
APPROPRIATION BILLS LEAD
With More Coming in Daily, Pros
poets for a Short Session Grow
Dim-Solons May Not Finish Up
Work Before June.

Madison.-Nearly 500 bills have
and more are coming nearly every
day. There were about / 600 bills
introduced in the last session, and it
is probable that this number will be
exceeded long before the present ses-
sion is over. In the assembly over
1000 bills have been introduced
which is more than was introduced in
this house during the entire session
of 1909. The senate has not had
so many bills as two years ago. but
the number will come near that of
the session of 1909 before the close
of the session.
The high number on the list is
bills dealing with appropriations.
There have been 147 bills bearing APP
preparations introduced in both
houses up to the present time. Next
to appropriations, schools and mat
ters connected with them are the fav-
orite, running up to well over 100.
Fish and game have nearly ninety
bills to their credit, while bills re-
lating to courts and procedure num-
Der nearly the same
One of the noticeable features is
the great number of labor bills which
have been introduced, no less than
sixty such bills being on the records
of the two houses. The subject of tax
alton is represented by over seventy
] ic oil II
field, and fifty bills have been intro
duced up to the present relating to
the regulation of insurance Compan-
les or agents. But thirty bills have
! been introduced dealing with bank
! ing, but among them are two bills
of great Importance, the bill pro-
viding for the guarantee of bank de-
posits and the segregation of the
savings deposits.
Cities and municipalities are as
usual we'll to the fore with bills re-
lating to them. Over 100 bills of
this kind have been introduced. The
range of subjects in the bills already
| introduced includes everything from
advice to congress which comes in
/ the shape of nearly thirty bills, to
! constitutional amendment which
! have thirty designs for changes in
! that ancient institution to ferret bills,
| game and taxes. Legislative log
rolling" and guessing contests in the
newspapers are among the subjects
/ treated.
With this mass of legislation it is
! impossible to tell when the legisla-
ture will adjourn. Optimistic legis-
| lators assert that the adjournment
will come early in May, others claim
! it will be well along in June before
the legislators shake the dust OF
| Madison from their feet.

POLICE CHIEFS ASK POWER
Urge Passage of Albers Bill Taking
the Management of Police De-
partments from Councils.

Madison.-The legislative commit
tee of the Wisconsin Association of
Police Chiefs, representing seventy
cities, appeared before the senate
committee on corporations and urged
it to recommend for passage the
Albers bill, authorizing fire and po-
lice commissions in all cities except
Ing Milwaukee to fix the salaries of
the members of the fire and police
departments under them. At pres
ent this authority is vested in COM
mon councils.
The chiefs argued that the commits
sioners. being better informed of the
character and qualifications Of the
men required on fire and police forces
and the work they are compelled to
perform, were better able to deter
mine what salaries they should re-
ceive than were the members of the
common council.

PRISON CHARGES CANkRDS
Compla nts Against Deputy Warden
Baumel Are Found Groundless by
Special Probe Committee.

Madson-The special committee
of the legislature which investigated
the charges of incompetency and
misconduct filed with the governor
against Deputy Warden John Baum
ell of the state prison at Waupun
found them unsustained, and so re-
ported to the governor. /
The committee found that com
plants apparently originated with
employees of the prison who had been
disciplined for violating the rules re-
lating to the striking of prisoners,
and similar conduct. The complain
ants, it seemed, did not approve of
Warden Towne's favorable attitude
on the question of paroles and other
prison reforms.
