While there was some difference Of opfn-

SON PROBE COMMITTEE THAT
NO COUNSEL WILL APPEAR.
THINKS He LACKS POWER
Letter Declares State and Legislature
DO Not Desire to Assume Role of
prosecutors in lnvestigation-Seek
thorough, Impartial inquiry.

Maoison.-Gov. Francis e. Meow
srn mas decided chat the state of
wisconsin would not be represented
oy counsel at the Stephenson inyesti-
cation In Milwaukee. The governor
mailed 2 letter to Chairman Hevhurn
ae neon and also notified the sena-
'tor by telephone of his decision.
GOV. McGovern's letter contains
800 words. In it he stated that in
reply to Chairman Heyburn's tele-
gram requesting him to advise the
committee as to whether it was the
desire of the state to be represented
by an attorney, that he found there
was serious doubt that he had any
power to act in the matter.
Joint resolution No. 5S, to which
you REFER said the governor, "cen-
fers no authority upon me- It SIM

Isaac Stephenson secured his electior
to that body, and it recommends
that the district attorney of Dane
county prosecute persons shown tC
have committed perjury in the sen.
atorial inquiry, and suggests that
prosecutions be commenced in the
other counties of the state for such
violations of the corrupt practices
statute as the evidence may justify
The governor states that in the alb
sence of any specific authority con-
ferred by this resolution the only
other possible source is chapter 268,
laws of 1911, which after considera-
ton leaves him in doubt as to
whether he is empowered to employ
attorneys at state expense.
The invitation to be represented
by counsel, says the governor, comes
too late to permit of procuring q
desirable attorney who could render
real service without sufficient time
to have gone over the records. He
quotes a recent interview in which
Senator Hepburn was quoted as de-
claring that the state would have no
attorney as it was an "investiga-
ton, not trial"
He considers the responsibility
squarely up to the committee, not
to the state, which desires only an
impartial review, not persecution, he
says.

fed as that Of Mrs Bessie Kent Web

clothing missing, in wooded ravine.
Doctor Webster and Miss Mabel

here, charged with the murder of the
formers wife. 1t is said he made a
complete confession of the crime and
exonerated Miss Sextet of any connec-
ton with the murder
The confession of Webster came as
complete surprise to the officials
For five hours he had insisted that he
was not guilty of murder, though he
had committed bigamy when he mar
ried Bessie Kent under the name Of

week after his real marriage to Zow

CATCH SUSPECTED ROBBERS
tempting to Blow Safe of Bank
at New Auburn.

Chippewa Falls.-Peter Riley and
Walt Harris were arrested as sus-
poets, following an attempt to rob
the Citizens State bank at New Au-
burn, and an exciting chase during
which shots were exchanged between
pursuing townsmen and the fleeing
thieves.
In a running fight the safeblowers
left the posse behind. Later, Riley
and Harris, going toward Cheteck,
were encountered and taken into
custody. Chetek is their home. They
are in Jail.
The thieves, surprised at their
work, got nothing. No effort has
been made to open the bank vault
door, which contains a charge of
nitroglycerin. Money was sent from
Chippewa Falls to enable the bank
to do business.

Courses in Agriculture.

For some time the matter of af-
fording instruction in agriculture in
the rural schools has been discussed
There is very pronounced trend to-
ward the study of scientific farming,
as is shown by the number of stu
dents In the colleges established for
the purpose. There have been a num-
Der OF difficulties in the way, however
OF carrying out such a plan. To be on
scope to make 1t really worth while
1T would require not only securing
competent instructors but some ap-
paratus and land. An experiment
along this line is thus mentioned by
The Rochester Post-Express: An az
ricultural course has been added to
the curriculum OF Connecticut rural
high school and preparations are I'M

and practical. The extension of edu-
cational work In agriculture, such as
many OF the leading colleges In the
country are doing successfully, to Sec
ondary schools is logical move
Rural high schools In particular can
offer opportunities to their students

value to those who cannot go to uni

STEPHENSON IN OWN DEFENSE
Wisconsin Senator Asserts He Is Inno-

Milwaukee.-Senato Isaac Ste
phenson told the special Investigate
ing committee of the senate that he
had practically no personal knowledge
of the ways in which money was ex-
pended in his campaign for the SEN
atorial nomination in 1908.
The senator said all he knew about
it was that he drew checks for SILL
3S5.49 during the campaign and that
$107, 793.05 was reported to him to
have been expended. Most of this
amount, he said, was paid to j. H.
Puelicher of Milwaukee and j. A. Van
Cleve of Marinette, two bankers who
acted as treasurers of the campaign
fund. Mr. Puelicher and Mr.. Van Cleve
were authorized to pay out the money
as directed by E. A Edmonds OF APP
pleton, the campaign manager.
Mr.. Edmonds testified regarding
the distribution of the Expenditures and
asserted he paid $4,000 to J. w. Stone,
at that time state game warden, under
instructions from Mr.. Stephenson He
further said he knew nothing about
the reasons which caused three Demo
Gratis to absent themselves on the day
of Mr.. Stephensons election as SEN

GERMAN MONEY GOES ABROAD
People of the Fatherand Pix by q
Billion Dollars Year, and
Invest II.

When the German reichstag few
weeks ago discussed the introduction
of American securities in that country
there was general surprise at ths
amount OF German capital which was
shown to be invested in foreign paper.
But the secretary of the interior, Dr..
Delbrueck, stated that the people of
Germany are saving every year about
100000, 900. and that necessarily a
large part OF this amount must go
abroad to find profitable investment.
These savings go into other avenues
besides mere purchase of securities.
In 1905. according to a writer in
Moodys Magazine, German invest
ments In foreign countries, outside OF
holdings of securities, amounted to
about 9,f2S millions Of marks (2,201.6
millions of dollars), In which the
United States and Canada represent
ed at least Z,75e millions Of marks
(ss56,900, 000).
The holdings OF foreign securities
were estimated at more than sixteen
billions of marks or some millions less
than four billions of dollars The real
aggregate or all investments, however,
Is higher still than these figures ex-
press, as not all German participation
in commercial or financial enterprises
In foreign countries could be taken
into account
Scarcely anywhere in the world is
a large issue brought out without tho
German capitalists being invited to
participate. Only short time ago
large Hungarian loan was placed IT.
Germany and oversubscribed for sew
eral times, Turkish bond issue of
large amount was willingly taken, and
Just when the ''emigration of German
capital" rs they used to call it over
there, was being discussed in connec-
ton with the proposed listing of ST.
Paul shares on the Berlin exchange
papers reminded the banks that they
had to be ia readiness for the Chilean
loan, soon to be expected.

RAIL STRIKE IS ON;
$4,000 INVOLVED
Whole Country Is Affected by
General WaIkout.
MEN OBEY ORDER OF LEADERS
Reports From Many Cities Show
Great Industrial War Has Begun
Chicago Authorities Prepare
to Handle Emergency.

Chicago.-The big railroad strike is
under way. 1t started officially when
many employees on the Illinois Cen
tral and the Hartman lines refused
to resume work when, in response to
the orders sent out last week, thou
sands OF men in shops all over the
system laid down their working tools
and marched out.
There was little excitement at the
Burnside shops of the Illinois Central
when the walkout order went into
effect The men began to leave the
works promptly at 10 o'clock, coming
out in groups of six or seven.
AS the men left the works they
passed through the crowd gathered
along the tracks without stopping to
talk to them. Practically all of these
men who left the shops went directly
to their homes. There was no move
ment toward the saloons and they
were practically deserted early in the
day Immediately after the strike
Between 5000 to $500 men left the
Burnside shops before II a. M. They
included machinists, boilermakers,
car men, painters, carpenters and pit
men in their ranks.
Expecting trouble before the day is
over, the police of three stations are
On the qui vive and prepared to han
die any emergency.
The walkout followed the strike or
der sent out by J. w. Kline, president
of the International Brotherhood of
Blacksmiths and Helpers, calling for
all crafts to strike End for every
man to do his duty"
The strike dispatch was sent to the
following places, which shows it's di-
mansions: Central, H.; Memphis,
Tenn; Oakland, CAL; Birmingham.
Ala; Freeport, H.. Paducah, KY;
Oak Park, Cal; Houston, Tex; Port

ramento, CAL; East Bakersfield Cal:
Los Angeles, Cal; Sparks, Neb.; Nc
Comb, Miss; San Antonio, Tex;
North Platte, Neb., and Tucson. Ariz
Roughly estimated, the number of
men expected to sever their connec-
ton, temporarily at least, with the
Illinois Central and the Hartman
lines, runs to 10000, and they cover
a territory embraced in fifteen states
throughout the west and south. The
figures in this connection are as fol-
1ows.
