RECOMMENDATIONS
BY GOVERNORS
n,

Interesting recommendations arc made by the Governors Of several New England States. some of which are pertinent to questions pending in Connecticut.
 Gov. Bass of New Hampshire, who is chased as a Progressive Republican. recommends tf.e creation of a public utilities commission. with "authoTsty fully to regulate rates. service and capitalization of ell public service .,ompenies' There is. he says. "a universal demand on the part of the people Of our State. that corporations xet out and keep out of politics. Undoubtedly. the people of every State entertain a similar sentiment. partic- lllar1y in Connecticut where men gen. orally chased as railroad agents were prominent in the Goodwin campaf gn and are backing Mclean for U. S. Senator.
 Gov. Piaisted of Maine. Democrat. refers to constitutional prohibition in no uncertain terms. He says: Look ing back over these years (over half a century) of proh ibition. mo fair minded man can refrain from feelings of disgust Not only has the purpose failed of accomplishments but hypoc- risy, corruption and disrespect for law have been begotten-'' The platform of the Democratic party promised to submit to popular vote the question of constitutional prohibition and. as the Legislature is Democratic. the pledge will probably be fulfilled. IAl- ready. the Senate has voted to repeal the Sturgis law. under which special officers invaded the territory of county sherfffs and prosecuted hquor-seners. The evident purpose of this law was to enforce prohibition in sections where public sentiment was strongly against it.
 Gov Foss of Massachusetts, Demo- crat. recommends the enactment of Hprking1nen's compensation act to provide for the relief of persons in- jured at their employment. He also asks for election reforms. declaring that under the present political sys- tenn a man of moderate means cannot be a successful candidate for high office unless he Is willing to let his campaign be financed by corporate interests in return for the candidates friendly attitude towards the financ- ing corporation This is an evil found in many States. It has been inti- mated that the Goodwin campaign in Connecticut was thus financed. not directly by the corporations but in- directly through their friends. No ulan Of moderate means could have expended the large sum of money used sn that campaign.

BATTLE STARTS TO DISSOLVE THE
 TOBACCO TRUST
Especial from United Press

Washington, Jan. 7.-Before the Su- perior Court of the United States yes- terday, began the final chapter in the famous suit by the governmen. to dis solve the American Tobacco Comrany as an illegal trust. Late in the after. noon arguments were begun with an opening statement by Delancey Nicol. attorney for the tobacco company. Probably three days will be occupied in the argument of the case by both sides.
 Easing it's petition on the Sherman antitrust law, the government de- mands the dissolution of the trust. The lower court sustained the govern- nlent in part but dismissed i,s bill against the United Cigar Stores and the British and Imperial Tobacco Companies.

Congressman Longworth's bill pro- viding for the creation of a perma- nent tariff commission with power to subpoena witnesses and call for books end papers. contains the further pro vision that the commission shall not be empowered to punish subpoenaed persons for failure to appear or to produce books and papers. but may only report such cases to Congress
 This provision may easily defeat the professed purpose of the grant of power to call for witnesses and pape-s. It would be easy for the great tariff
 fostered trusts to refuse to appear and then to rely upon Congress for eacapa from penalties. With one

TAFT MAY NAME WlNSLOW
Wisconsin Jurist Is Possible Success
sor to the Late U. S. Supreme
Court Justice Harlan.

Milwaukee, the distin-
guished judges and lawyers men
toned as possible successors to
Justice John Marshall Harlan, of the
United States Supreme court, who
died recently, is Chief Justice John
B. Winslow, of the Wisconsin SUI
preme court. Justice Winslow was on
the presidents slate for appointment
year ago and it is understood
would then have been chosen for
the high honor had it not been for
the opposition of the senior United
States senator from Wisconsin.
Chief Justice Winslow was born
at Funda, Livingston county, New
York, October 4, 1851, hence has
just passed his siXtieth birthday. He
was graduated from Racine college
in 1871, and from the law depart
ment of the University of Wisconsin
in 1875.
For several years he was city at
torney OF Racine and in 1888 was
elected circuit Judge of the First
circuit. He was reelected and was
serving in that capacity when he
was called to the Supreme court in
1891 to fill the seat made vacant
by the death of Justice David Tay-
Tor. He was elected for the unex-
pred term in 1892 and since elected
LOT TWO terms of ten years each.

100000 MILWAUKEE, BLAZE
Explosion of Grain Dust Causes Fire
Which Destroys Elevator and En-
dangers Adjoining Property.

M1lWaukee.-An explosion of grain
dust in elevator B, operated by the
Rialto elevator company, caused a
fire that destroyed the building and
damaged the contents to the extent
of 100000. The burned building
was 80x200 feet and six stories in
height.
Cinders and burning brands were
carried over the city by the wind, en-
dangering millions of dollars worth
of property. So intense was the
heat that the firemen were prevented
from approaching close enough to
the burning elevator to do effective
work and they confined their efforts
to surrounding buildings, which were
continually catching fire. Four fire
men narrowly escaped death when a
second explosion of grain dust oc-
Cured. Freight boats in the river
were unable to pass the burning
structure for several hours, until the
flames had spent their force.

HOLD TWO FOR ARSON PLOT
Abe Kruger and Philip Levi in Jail
at Menomonie Charged With Burn
ing Horses to Get Insurance.

Menomonie.-The wholesale burn
ing of horses in order to realize on
claims for insurance or damages
from railroad companies is the I'M
usual arson charge brought against
Abe Kruger and Philip Levi, who
are on trial here.
On Sept. 10, 1910, a carload of
horses was burned at Menomonie
Junction. The finding of a gasoline
can near the car and other circum-
stances led to an investigation by
j. E. Florin of the state fire mar
shaPs department. The men under
arrest were traced to Chicago and
finally taken in hand by Fire Mar
shall Purtell and Chief Deputy Florin.
1t is alleged that they bought up a
lot of old and cheap horses in Trem-
pealeau and Eau Claire counties,
consigned them in a car on the
Omaha road to Minneapolis and set
fire to the car en- route with the in
tentiOn of claiming damages amount
ing to about 5000 apiece for the

CHAPTER XVI.



Headed as they were, and having no
other special objective point in view, it
was only natural for the two fugitives
to drift into Sheridan. This was at that
time the human cesspool of the plains
country, a seething, boiling maelstrom
of all that was rough. evil, and brazen
along the entire frontier. Customar-
lily quiet enough during the hours Of
daylight, the town became a mad
saturnalia with the approach of dark
ness, it's ceaseless orgies being noisily
continued until dawn. But at this
period all track work on the Kansas
Pacific being temporarily suspended
by Indian outbreaks, the graders made
both night and day alike hideous. and
the single dirty street which COM
posed Sheridan. lined with shacks,
crowded with saloons, the dull dead
prairie stretching away on every side
to the horizon. was congested with
humanity during every hour Of the
twenty-four.
