STATE TREASURER is VICTOR
Circuit Court Decision Relieves Him
of All Liabiitf in the Hudson
Securities Case.

Madison.-Judge Stevens of the
circuit court has sustained the de-
murrer entered by State Treasurer
A. Fl. Dahl to the complaint of
Henry T. Sheldon, receiver of the
Savings, Loan and Trust company of
Hudson, Wis, for the recovery of
$4,000, which represents securities
deposited by the company with the
state treasurer and which were
turned back to the company by him.
The Hudson company, after en-
countering financial difficulties, de-
posted the bonds with the state Of
ficers, who held them one year after
the company had filed notice of
dissolution, and then returned them
The company later went into the
hands of a receiver, Henry T. Shell
don, who brought suit against the
state treasurer, claiming he had no
authority to return the securities
after the company had dissolved
The court held that he had this
authority and relieved him of all liza
bility in the matter.

discussed at conferences held bv

This was the most significant
thing said by Col. Theodore Roose-

said it three times in public speeches
and he reiterated it several times
in conversation.

leaders. Roosevelt came clear

There was cheering in the assem-
bly, chamber when he paid the trib-
ute to La Toilette, and when he re-
peated it in his speech in the uni
versity gymnasium.
In previous speeches in Wisconsin,
Col. Roosevelt had omitted reference
to Senator La Toilette, and there had
been much speculation whether he
would continue avoiding the mention
of his name upon this visit, especial
ly in view of Senator La Follette's
open attacks upon the Taft admin
istration policies.
The speaker lauded the success
of the railroad commission law and
said that other states would be
forced to follow Wisconsin in deal
ing with the railroad problem. In
speaking of the workmen'a compen-
station bill, he urged it's immediate
passage, leaving the courts to deter
mine it's constitutionality He praised
the University of Wisconsin for its
cooperation with the state govern
ment in rendering service to the
state and said that it occupied a posi-

TUBERCULlN BILL is READY
AssemolYman Bichler's Measure Pro-
Vides for Public Appralsals and
Adjustment of Costs.

Madison. - Assemblyman Bichler
OF Ozaukee county has put in his long
expected tubercrlin test bill and ia
was referred to the committee on
purity of commodities. The bill takes
away the present compulsory feature
or the law and makes several other
changes, the clause relating to APP
praisal of animals being one of the
more important
The bill calls for the appointment
by the county boards annually of one
appraiser in each city. village and.
town, who shall be competent judges
of cattle values. When animals are.
condemned. the livestock sanitary
board is required to submit to the
owner list of five appraisers from
which the owner selects three to make
the appraisal The value of the con-
demned animals is limited to 500
for pedigreed cattle, SIS for non-ped
igreed and $50 for common cattle.
The appraisers receive So day from
the county. Full value is returned
by the state if tubercular LESSONS are
not found and three-fourths the value,
not to exceed 500, if they are found
after slaughter.
The single feature in which the bill
is compulsory, has to do with cattle
sold at public auctions. The Bichler
bill requires sellers to inform buy
ers whether the cattle have reacted
under the tuberculin test within a
given period, but it contains no re-
quirement for test before private

The great antiquity of concrete as a
building material would justify a
search for early examples of It's use
in architectural expression. But APP
parently this remarkable material,
which, after all, is only just beginning
to reveal its ultimate possibilities, was
used by the ancients only for the
baser purposes of piling up masses of
masonry, or at best as backing for
stone and marble facings. The first
suggestion of it's fitness for architec-
tural expression came when builders
took the idea of constructing architec-
tural features of cement mortar.
There is undoubtedly a fascination
about being able to mold so thoroughly
a plastic material as cement mortar
into any desired form, or even TO shape
it by hand. while still soft, and so pro
duce creditable work of decorative
sculpture But one invariably suffers
shock on discovering that beautiful
stately collonades or arcades and por-
ticos, well designed and in style, are
moi built of stone, but that we are
looking at thin veneer of cement
mortar, in short, that they are mere
sham.
During this period of development,
while architects were being led to
adopt new materials. they did not con-
cern themselves with the evolution
of design in conformity with their new
materials, and it followed quite natur-
ally that no progress was being made
toward the realization of a real CON
crete architecture. In fact no attempt
was made in this direction
1t would be difficult to estimate
