unger began quarreling with the
Racine man. who was an entire

Suddenly, with an oath, Vance
drew two revolvers and began firing
at Unger as fast as he could pull the
trigger AS Unger fell with a bullet
through the right chest, the Nelson
woman threw her body between
Vance and his victim and was shot,
dying almost instantly, The Gilmore
woman tried to escape, but Vance,
crazed by the sight of his other two
victims, fired at her also, and she
fell dying as he turned his revolver
upon his ,wn body, ending his own

TALK LEGISLATIVE RECESS
Possibility of Present Session Ex-
tending Into July Brings Plan to
Rest from May 20 to Jan. ~.

Madison.-Leaders Of the assem-
bly, and senate are discussing the ad-
visibility of a legislative recess from
May 20 to Jan. s, 1912.
1t is the general opinion now that
it will take the legislature until we'll
along In July to finish the business
now before it.
The theory of those who favor the
recess is that the two houses now
could act on appropriation bills that
would tide over the government I'M
til next January. At that time, they
say. the real appropriation bills
could be handled easily. Opponents
of the recess say that 1t will take
weeks. next year, to get the legis-
lature to a point where it can get
through the work before it.

COMEDIES RIGHT OF APPEAL
Helm Committee Probe at Springfield
Declared to 30 Without Author
ity and Its Continuation
10 Uncertain.

Chicago. - Judge A. J. Petit sus-
tanned the writ of habeas corpus
issued to prevent Edward Tilden,
George NJ. Benedict and William C.
Cummings, all of Chicago, from being
taken before the bar of the Illinois
senate to answer contempt charges,
and also declared the Inv estigation be-
ing conducted by the Helm commit
tee at Springfield into the election Of
Senator William Lorimer was without
warrant of law.
He ordered the immediate release
of the REALTORS and assessed the costs
of the hearing against the senate,
every contention Of the attorneys for
the senate being denied.
One concession was made, however
the right of appeal made possible by
the entry CT Judgment for costs
against the respondents.
IL the case Is reviewed by some ap.
pellate tribunal, 1t will be appealed in
the name of e. H. Hatfield, assistant
sergeant-at-arms of the senate, who
served the warrants on the packer and
his associates more than a week ago.
Taking immediate advantage Of this
entry, John J. Healy, counsel for the
Helm committee, prayed for appeal
and was allowed ten days in which to
file bill of exceptions. The motion
was granted and bond Of $3.50 was
required of the appellant.
1t is conceded by those most closely
connected with the investigation of
the Lor'mer scandal that this decision
of Judge Petit practically means the
end of the Helm committees activi-
ties, although a meeting of the COM
mittee will be held in Springfield
Tuesday.
Whether the investigation will pro-
coed, it is stated. will depend largely
upon the nature of the testimony
brought out by the witnesses who
have been subpoenaed to appear be-
fort the committe.

Purpose Of Measure Before Legs-

Malady Throughout State.

Madison.-The increase of rabies
in Wisconsin, as shown by the num-
Der of cases treated at the Pasteur
institute here. has caused the in
PRODUCTION of bill in the legisla-
ture appropriating a sum Of money
sufficient to enable the state hygienic
laboratory to prepare vaccine for
the treatment of persons bitten by
mad dogs and to enable 1t to ex-
anime free of charge heads of dogs
suspected of having been mad and
other media suspected of containing
rabies. The bill also specifies other
things which the laboratory will be
expected to do without charge.
There is danger that the United
states Marine hospital may any time
stop sending their vaccine to the
Wisconsin institute. In the event
that 1t should stop. the state board
OF health wants to be prepared to
make or buy what it needs for the
institute.
The state hygienic laboratory has
had an unusually large number of
heads of dogs suspected of having
had the rabies sent to 1t for exami-
nation during the last four months.
The number exceeds 100. The Pas
teur institute has treated forty pa
tients SO far this year, which is an
average of ten a month.
This Is an average of one more a
month than was treated last year.
Since the institute was established
in November. 1909, 166 cases have
been treated. Only one case re-
suited fatally, that being little In
dian girl Of the Oneida reservation,
who was treated last year. There
were three other deaths from hydro
phobia in the state last year, but
they were not treated at the insti-
tute.

DiETz AND WITNESS CLASH
Former U. S. Marshal and Defend
ant Get Close to Slows-Point
Is Scored for Prisoner.

/ Hayward.-The cross examination
of former Deputy United States Mar
shall A. Jonas of Madison furnished
a dramatic tinge to the Dietz trial.
The attacks of the prisoner upon the
testimony of the officer became so
heated that at one time Sheriff Clark
moved within the circle fearing that
the horny listed defender would re-
sort to personal violence.
Jonas, who was deputy United
States marshal In 1905. was placed
upon the stand to testify to his eff
forts to serve civn papers upon Dietz
and his wife. He stated that he
reached the cabin, but that Dietz pre-
vented him serving the papers by
drawing revolver and then set up
on him and beat him badly, driving
him away. Both Dietz and his wife
Joined in the cross examination, but
their efforts were not to contradict
his testimony, but rather to boast
of their action, in which both seemed
to take pleasure and pride.
Dietz scored point for himself
when, in cross examination. he
elected from Deputy Fred Van AL
styne the admission that the witness
was shooting in the direction of
Oscar Harp, the slain deputy.
The state struck the defense tell
ing blow with its best card. The
prosecution offered proof that the
bullet found in Harp's body was of
the Winchester company make. The
letter "W' is imprinted on the lead
chester make, according to the prose-
cution. Not Winchester bullet was
fired by the deputies.

SATION ACT AN IMPORTANT
PLATFORM PLEDGE.
LAW PRAISED BY GOVERNOR
Declares It Complete and Workable
Provision Which Makes Measure
Entirely Practicable Pointed Out

Z Madison. GOV. McGovern has
signed the workmen's compensation
act and the bill becomes a law as
soon as published.
Gov. McGovern, after signing the
bill, made the following statement:
81 have just signed bill NO. zoo'
and the workmen's compensation act,
so-called, is now law. This is the
arst Of the principal platform meas
ures to be enacted and l am greatly
pleased to see what l have regarded
as the most important pledge made
to the people in the last campaign
now Is redeemed. The adoption OF
this reform will bring immediate re-
lief and widespread benefit to both
workmen and employers and should
contribute powerfully to promote the
Industrial prosperity of the entire
state.
Undoubtedly the published criti-
cisms of this measure were made I'M
advisedly and without knowledge OF
ell the provisions of the bill. IL
is natural that there should be some
difference of opinion concerning the
constitutionality of subdivision OF
section 2394-1, which makes the de-
Tense of the fellow servant rule avail
able to employers who have in COM
mon employment less than four en-
ployes. and the clause Immediately
follows. which reserves to employers
who elect to pay compensation under
this act but whose workmen refused
to accept it all the defense now avail
able, while taking from their en-
ployers similarly situated, but VINO
refuse to go within the provisions OF
this law, the defense of assumption
of risk and the fellow servant rule.
whether or not these provisions
are constitutional no one will know
until they have been decided in the
supreme court, but the bill Is com
plete and workable piece of legisla-
ton without these clauses and ex-
pressly provides that they are sep
arabic from it. Hence, they may fall
without affecting any other part OF
the act.
"This declaration of legislative in
tent must have escaped the attention
of the critics of the bill, for 1T pre-
serves all the main features OF the
act, even though the parts criticised
should be held invalid
