Commission RENTS Fees.

The misunderstanding between the
Wisconsin Grain and Warehouse com
mission and State Treasurer A. H.
Dahl over the remittance of fees held
by the former on July 81 last has
been cleared up.
Former State Senator George B.
Hudnall Of Superior, representing the
commission, turned over to the state
treasurer a check for $2,100 as the I'M
paid balance Of the money in the in
speCtiOn fund of the commission on
July 81 and the suit threatened by
the treasurer to compel payment will
not be brought.
Under the law the commission is
required to turn over to the state
treasury the unexpended balance in its
fund on July 81 At that time there
was about $4,000 in the fund, but the
commission believed it would need
part of this to pay its expenses until
the receipts of the fall work began to
come in. In August it turned over
So, 500 and retained the balance.

Whitehead Explains Vote.

- III @NRfG'ifS
In explaining his vote, Senator
Whitehead said:
This is the eighth instance during
my service as senator that this body
has been called upon to elect United
States senator. In former cases, the
last alone excepted, we had been per-
mitted to elect a senator in accord
ance with party caucus. In 1909
no caucus was held-the primary cleo
ton was then in full sway On this
occasion no caucus has been h but
the supreme court at least re-
leased from the hold of the primary
law, therefore permitting the original
free use Of the rights granted under
the constitution of the United States
70 NE as state senator of Wiscon-
sin. 1t would give me unalIoyed sat
fsfaction TO vote with the large ma
jority, but l cannot do this. The per-
sonal element in nowise enters into
my action in this matter l could for
get personal differences, and l long
ago laid aside my personal feelings
regarding the candidate of the pres
ent majority. The question arises,
however, can 1 support the political
efforts of the candidate of the ma.
jority? Am I willing to be held re
sponsible for his political actions:
To this l must answer no. One
course alone remains for me. I will
seek no subterfuge, no precedents Of
doubtful validity. l am here at no lit
tie discomfort to myself I therefore
give my vote today to that distin-
guished German-American of Wiscon-
sin, brave soldier of the Civil war, a
leader at the bar of the state-Gen.

Primary Bills Prepared.

primaries and expects to introduce
one of the three ready during the
early part of next week. The first ap-

Introduction of Bills DELAYED.

The introduction of the Mil

until probably next week, the legis-

only by the introduction of numerous
new bills. There was noticeable
falling off in the number of joint res
olutions offered, especially by the So
cialist members, who apparently have
fired nearly all of their guns.
The evil of +'vote-swapping' and
'log-roIling," which is aimed at In a
bill offered by Assemblyman Merlin
Hull. bids fair to be received with

lature, but may minimize the prac-
Uce.

GEO. HAMIL INSANE.

Geo. It. Hamil is in Pueblo
being treated for a nervous trouble
which seems to have affected his
mind. He lives with his wife and
child on a homestead about ten
miles northwest of La Jara and
has always been regarded as queer
on religious topics. He claimed
that God visited him in his dreams
and often announced that he had
received revelations from on high.
Until last Sunday, however, these
revelations never took a violent
form and on other subjects he was
at all times perfectly normal. Last
Sunday he went to the home of
Walter Kelley south of town
and announced that God had
brought him over there in whirl
wind to save all their souls. He
began preaching and became very
violent driving everybody out of
the house. Finally his father came
after him and took him to Alamosa
where there seemed to be little i'm
provement in his condition He is
not a drinking man and friends
are at loss to account for his
trouble Wednesday he was taken
to Conejos, tried for his sanity be-
fore Judge Garcia, found insane
and taken to the state asylum at
Pueblo on that evenings train.
