WILL ASK GAME PRESERVE
State Warden Rickeman to Present
Question of Conservation of Birds
and Animals to Lawmakers.

Madison.-A proposition to create
a game preserve of 5000 to 10000
acres of northern Wisconsin by the
conservation of tract of state land
and diversion of a portion of the
hunting license fund for it's main
tenance will be brought before the
legislature. 1t will be supported, it
is said not only by sportsmen but by
the game warden's department and
conservatioGists.
Game Warden George W. Ricke-
man is enthusiastic over the plan.
which has in view the setting apart
Of a large tract where the shooting
of game at any season will be abso-
lutely forbidden, and where game of
all kinds may find refuge at all
times.
There are numerous places where
such preserve might be located the
game warden says, but preferably il
should be upon a small stream and
where there are one or two small
lakes that might be made a part of
the neutral territory.
1t is not the purpose to force in or
inclose entirely the tract, nor to at
tempt to confiue game.
Warden Rickeman also purposes to
ask the legislature to establish in
southern Wisconsin a propagation
farm for prairie chicken, grouse, wild
duck and quail. The idea IS not orig
lnal with him, for already the plan
has been established in Illinois,
where it is recognized as a success
There last year thousands of prairie
chickens, quail and mallard duck
eggs were provided and distributed
throughout the state.
Speaking of the two propositions
Warden Rickcman said that while
the state deyotes much talent and
money to the propagation of fish it
has taken no interest heretofore in
the conservation of the game animals
and birds. in fact large portion
of the license moneys collected by the
department of fish and game is de-
voted 10 the propagation, culture or
gathering of fish fry and not cent
of it goes TO increase the supply of
game.

Madison. WISCONSIN 5 soldiers are

Idaho among all the states in the

ment report, from which Adjt. Gen.
Charles K. Boardman has just drawn
comparisons. WisCOnsin's compare

Idahos was 10G.5S. Massachusetts
stood third. Only 524 guardsmen
are used in making the high showing
for Idaho, while the figures for Wis
consin are based on the rife work of
2,96S men.
Wisconsin also stood second among
forty-nine states and territories in
the percentage of its national guards

inspection in 1910. New York stood
first in this respect and Rhode Island
third. Only EOS per cent of the total

hington.-Senator Beyeridgo
opened the attack in the fight to pre-
vent Senator Lorimer of Illinois from
retaining his seat in the upper house
Of congress. The Indiana solon pre-
sented minority .eport as a member
Of the committee of privileges and
elections, by which charges of bribery
in connection with Senator Lorimer' S
election were investigated.
The conclusion of the report was
as follows:
THAT this election was invalid un-
der any possible view of the law. If
the senate 50 concludes, it is our
duty so to declare. Therefore | sub
init the following resolution:
Resolved, that William Lorimer
was not duly and legally elected to a
seat in the senate of the United
States by the legislature of the state
of Illinois"
Before the report was filed Sen.
ator Lorimer made a brief speech
declaring his innocence of bribery
and the innocence of his friends of
any participation in corrupt practices
in connection with his election. He
announced his intention to be present
during the discussion of his case.
A scathing arraignment of the
manner in which Mr.. Lorimer was
elected was made by Senator Owen
Of oklahoma, who asserted that the
testimony taken by the subcommittee
which investigated the case showed
that at least ten votes of the los re-
ceiyed by Mr. Lorimer should not
have been counted. Other sena. Ors
who are known to oppose the reten-
ton by Mr.. Lorimer of his seat have
not claimed that more than seven
votes were tainted.
