SUPERIOR MAYOR ARRESTED
Three Others Are Held as Result of
Census Probe by Federal Grand
Jury-Paddlng Is Alleged.

Superior.-Mayor Frank Crump-
ton of Superior was arrested in con-
nection with the alleged census pad
ding which was investigated by the
grand jury at Eau Claire.
Attorney SolCn l.. Perrin and Paul
Stack, an enumerator, were also ar
rested and were released on furnish
ing $4,000 bonds. G. o. Hoover was
arrested at Madison a few days ago.
1t is said that six indictments were
returned by the grand jury in con-
nection with the alleged census
frauds.
The federal investigation came as
the result of the alleged excessive
figures at which the population of
the Lake Superior city was placed
at the last census. Fifty-nine wit
nesses were examined at the grand
jury session, fifty-five of whom were
census enumerators and others from
Superior.

State to Aid 287 Second Class and
1853 First Class Educational
Institutions.

MadisOn.-State aid for schools

county not represented in the appor-
tionment. Sheboygan ranks first

STANDARD OIL IN PLAN
FOR RE0RGANlZA|
Outlines Scheme Whereby
sldiary Stock Is to Be Dist
.-DissoIves About Dec.

New York.-The Standa
company gave to its stocks
the first official notice of its inte
to dissolve in obedience to the de-
of the United States Supreme couv
This notice took the form of brlel
circular issued by H. c. Folger, secre-
tary of the company.
The stock of the subsidiary COM
panies will be distributed pro rata
among the stockholders of record Win
the parent corporation on September L
last. The company expects to have the
stock ready for distribution by Deem
Der 1. The plan of reorganization, as
announced, is simple and contemplates
the restoration of the original com
panies of which the giant combine is
composed.
The Supreme court of the United
States adjudged the Standard Oil com
bine in restrain of trade and viola
tor of the Sherman antitrust law In
decision handed down on May 16 last.
The corporation was ordered to dis
solve and was given six months TO
conform to the courts decree. Since
that time there has been much specu-
lation concerning the method the cor
poration would take to comply with
the judicial mandate.
The outstanding stock of the Stand
ard Oil company is said to be in the
hands of 5000 stockholders. Many OF
them have small lots of from one
share to one hundred shares These
small shareholders will receive frac-
tional shares of each of the subsidiary
companies.
The operating expenses of the sepa-
rate companies, it is minated. will be
much larger than the expenses of the
Standard Oil company, but the results
to trade are still matter of specula'
ton.

JAPAN'S PREMIER TO RESIGN
TOXIC News Agency Says That Count
Katsura Has Quit.

Tokio.-A news agency here, which
it is understood is close to a member
of the cabinet, says Count Katsura
rendered his resignation as premier on
July 81 and recommended Marquis
Saionji for that post. The change will
probably be announced on August %.
This report is not confirmed, nor
is it officially denied. Undoubtedly
a change in the cabinet is imminent
and has been under consideration for
three months past.
AS yet the distribution of portfolios
has not been decided, but there is no
reason to believe that the change will
affect the general policy of the gov
eminent, for Count Katsura is likely
to continue as the active head of al

DEPUTIES TO BE COMPETENT
Those Administering Tests Hereafter
Must Pass a Rigid Examination
All Compensation for Slaughtered
Cattle Ceases on July |, 1918.

Madison.-A systematic campaign
for the eradication of tuberculosis
from the dairy and beef herd OF WIS
consin is contemplated by State Vet
erinarian H. A. Hartwig. NO longer
will the administration of tuberculln
test be authorized by the department,
said DR.. Hartwig, except at the hands
of qualified persons. To get at the
source of contamination as well as 10
get rid of responding individuals III
the herd will be the aim OF the de-
partment in its future work ana 10
this end he plans to locate a deputy
of the department in every part OF
the state. A searching civil service
examination is to be first held to de-
termine the fitness of candidates for
permission to administer the test.
Then instructions will be given that
when herds are found to be infected
a clinical examination of the indivld-
uals of the herd shall be made by
competent veterinarian to discover
any chronic cases therein.
The new tuberculin law, DR.. Hart
wig thinks, will prove more satisfac-
tory than the former regulation, in
that while it does not make the test
compulsory it offers to the owner
greater inducement to cooperate
with the department. The maximum
compensation for condemned animals
is raised from $55 to $50.
DR.. Hartwig further explained that
while the law provides an increased
compensation for slaughtered ami
mails at present, all compensation is
to cease after July /, 1913. This
will tend to put the herd owner on
his guard.

So per cent. ad valorem and makes
corresponding reductions on wooden

bill, carrying a. duty on raw wool of
40 per cent, and the wool bill passed
by the house Of representatives, car
rying an ad valorem on raw wool OF
20 per cent. both had been defeated.
The vote on the new measure was
48 to %
The house wool bill was defeated
in the senate by a vote Of "A to 80.
Senator Brown of Nebraska was the
only Republican voting with the
Democrats for the bill. The La Fol-
lette amendment to the revision meas
ure was defeated, sc to IA.
A motion by La Toilette to recon
slider the vote by which the house
bill was defeated, so as to throw open
again the entire question of revising
the wool schedule. was adopted by a
vote of 40 to 81.

Representative Sterling suggested
that Delegate Wickersham's charges
Indicated only failure Of the depart

because he wouldn't give up the
graft"

II do not" Mr.. Littleton emphatic
ally replied
Several members of the judiciary
