BIG EDUCATIONAL APPROPRiA.
TON BILL PASSES SENATE
AFTER SPIRITED FIGHT.
TAXATION PLAN is RETAINED
Advocates of Fixed Appropriations
Make an Unsuccessful Attack on
Special Levy Prlnciple-Assembly
Expected to Renew Fight.

Madison.-Five million dollars
was appropriated for the state uni
versity and normal schools for the
next two years by the senate, which
passed the educational appropriation
bill recommended by the finance COM
mittee. The university gets $780,
900, the normal schools $1,300,O0O.
question of making fixed appropria-
tion or levyiag tax for the support
of the states educational institu-
tions. but advocates of the tax were
victorious
Amendment after amendment was
offered but the only one adopted was
offered by Senator Bosshard. This
provides that the annual appropria-
ton of $150,00C for the normal
schools shall run for four instead of
three years. The vote was IL to IL.
The debate over substituting a
fixed appropriation for a special mill
tax followed the Introduction of an
amendment by Senator Whitehead,
striking out the provision of the bill
calling for tax of three-eighths of
8 mill for the university and substi-
tuting specific appropriation of ST.
$4,000 annually for two years, and
striking out the provision calling for
a tax Of one-sixth of mill for the
normal schools and making a specific
appropriation of 100000 annually
for the same period. The amend
ment was rejected, to 10.
Senator Teasdale introduced an
other amendment along the same
lines, fixing the appropriation for
the university at $1,00O,000 year
and for the normal schools at $780,
600 in lieu of the mill tax. This also
was rejected by the same vote.
Senator Bosshard next came for
ward with an amendment providing
that special appropriation for the
normal schools be increased by ap-
propriating $150,O0O annually for
four years instead of three years.
This was adopted by vote of II to
IL.
This appropriation, which will be
the largest made at the present ses-
sion, will now be considered by the
assembly. 1t is believed that an
other effort will be made there to
inaugurate fixed appropriations.

SAENGERFEST ENDS
WITH GREAT PICNIC
CONVENTION OF NORTH AMERi-
CAN SAENGERBUND AT MIL
WAUkEE CLOSES.
LOUISVILLE GETS 1914 MEET
Music and GaYety Marked Presence
of Great Assemblage of German
Singers-Chorus the Largest Ever
/, Gathered in America.

Milwaukee. - The great thirty
American Saengerbund, which has
been held in Milwaukee during four
days, closed with a picnic and kom-
mers in Pabst park. Preceding the
picnic was parade, one of the most
spectacular held in Milwaukee in
many a day, in which 5000 singers
participated.
At the business session of the
Saengerbund the following officers
were elected:
President-Charles G. Schmidt,
Cincinnati, 0.
First vice president-Wm. Arens,
Chicago, Ill.
Second vice president-Peter Met
tier, Toledo, o.
Treasurer-John P. Frenzel, In
dianapolis, Ind.
Secretary-Adam Lind, St. Louis,
Mo-
Directors-Jacob Boehm, St. Louis;
Justus Emme, Chicago; Joseph Helm,
Cleveland; F. w. Keck, ST. Louis;
DR.. A. Knoch, Cincinnati DR.. j.

ell, Fullersburg, ILL.,; Eugene Nieder-
roger, Chicago; Christian Saam. AL
legheny, Pa; Jacob Spohn, Chicago;
DR.. Gustaye Keitz, New Orleans, and
E. J. Seideneck, New Orleans.
The next saengerfest will be held
In Louisville in 1914. This was the
city which made the greatest appeal
for the meeting, all through the Mil
waukee gathering. Communications
from the mayor and the business
men of Louisville had been present.

and hearty verbal invitation had
been extended
The last day of the great meeting
tents had been erected at Pabst
park, where the picnic was held, and
under them the 1000 singers gath

made merry

the financial result of the saenger-
fest, but the apparent deficit is about
$4,000. The total receipts were ap-
proximtely $4,000 and the expenses
100000.
The box Office receipts, that is for
the sale of tickets, which were S13,-
600, was expected to total $4,000.
A sale of that magnitude would have
let the fest out about even finan-
cially.
The falling off is accounted for by
lack of support in Milwaukee and in
the state. Both the state and its
metropolis did not respond.
No support to speak of came from
Wisconsin cities which did not have
societies entered in the fest, and
even in them the sale of seats was
very disappointing.
The secretary's report showed a
membership of $50 societies in the
bund. Since the last fest, three
years ago, the bund has lost one
society and gained eighteen. This is
regarded as satisfactory growth.
There are nov $500 singers in the
organization

and that is that it be pleasing to the

Many expedients can be used that
give it a touch of individuality. When
the location is rural or suburban and
the lot Is of sufficient width, some
simple landscape gardening effects
can be introduced, shrubs and flowers
planted, possibly a pergola set up
afterward to be covered with growing
vines-all of which will add wonder
fully to the home-like attractiveness
of even the plainest and most simple

WASHINGTON. Sept. s.-The graves
Of persons buried during the last half
