The whole Three-Eye league trouble
seems to rest upon this basis: A year
ago when Waterloo was admitted the
southern bosses had vague idea that
that city was to be retained for only
a year. Waterloo, on the other hand,
had no notion of going 20 all the fuss
and expense of getting into the
league only TO get out at the end of
the season. The southern managers
thought it would be easy to get ma
jority to vote in favor of dropping
Waterloo, while the latter city was
willing to take its chances. Waterloo
agreed to get out if a majority Of the
clubs requested it, but majority mas
not Joined in the request-not yet. AS
to the roar that has resulted from the
appeal TO the courts Waterloo was
virtually forced to do this through dill
atory tactics On the part of Tearney
and Kinsella, which left no OPP
portunity to have the case
adjudicated in the baseball courts be
fore another season began. What men
of red blood anywhere else in the cir
cult would not have done likewise?

SIGHT TROUBLE WITH CASTRO.
U. s. Government Officials Much Con-
cerned Over ExiIed President.

cerned Over Exiled President.
Washington. - The landing Of for
mer President Castro in Vene-
zuela is regarded by the government
officials here as matter which Is
pregnant with great trouble for the
navy.
1t appears to be an established prin-
ciple that the United States Is bound
to support the government of Gomez,
he having been elevated to the presi-
dency by the naval demonstration
against Castro which made his fight
to obtain the presidency fruitless In
addition to that. President Gomez en-
tered into an agreement with the
United States for settlement Of
claims which had been repudiated by
Castro and there was a taCit interna-
tional agreement that no nation would
allow Castro base from which to OPP
crate against Gomez
1t is stated here that should Castro
surprise Caracas and set up govern
ment he would be kept there until the
United States shall have found means
to dislodge him. In order to make Cas-
tro's usurpaton valueless it is under
stood that the navy will assist the
Gomez government in retaining pos
session Of La Guayra and all the sea-
ports Of Venezuela which are access
ible to the ships Of the navy.

10 Aim.

Washington.-S Eewlands OF
Nevada introduced a DILL in the house
providing for an Interstate trade com.
mission for the regulation and control
Of industrial corporations.
Broadly speaking, 1t Is proposed
that the new commission shall bear
the same relation toward Industrial
corporations as the interstate COM
merce commission does toward the
railroads of the country.
The scope Of Mr.. Newlands' propo-
sition is far-reaching and embodies
as we'll the principal features OF Pres
ident Tafts plan for federal incorpora-
ton as other desirable qualities that
have been demonstrated as lacking In
recent efforts to control big business.
1t is provided at the outset that all
corporations engaged In interstate
trade whose annual gross receipts ex-
coed $5.OOO,O00 shall come under the
jurisdiction Of the commission, though
smaller corporations may, II they de-
sire. accept the benefits and the re-
sponsibilities Of the plan. 1t is not
proposed that the commission shall
In any way have power to regulate
prices, but in practically every other
respect the new body will have dras-
tic power in keeping the big indus
trial concerns within the law.
For example, before q company sub
Ject to the provisions of the bill can
engage In interstate trade 1t shall be
required to be registered by the COM
mission, which register shall only be
granted after satisfactory statements

judicial decree rendered under the

cancel the registration of any cor
poration and. in extreme cases. debar
a corporation from engaging in inter-
state trade.
Similarly the proposed commission
will have supervisory power over the
capitalization Of all corporations COM

Iander-Threaien Lynch ng.

Rhinelander.- After desperate
battle with a posse of deputies and
armed farmers, Tony Imperio and
Phillip Roberts, alleged white slav-
ers, have surrendered, one Of the
fugitives and deputy being serious
ly wounded before lack of ammuni-
ton forced the Italian desperadoes
to permit arrest. They are in Jail
here.
Sheriff John Radcliffe of Villas
county, shot in attempting to arrest
the Italians at Conover, died of his
wounds and public sentiment is high
Deputy John Hanson is still alive
and probably will recover, the three
bullets which penetrated his body
having hit no vital spot.
The heayily-armed posse with
bloodhounds, drove the desperadoes
into an old mill near Star Lake
Scores of shots were exchanged and
the officers were preparing to set fire
to the mill when the Italians sur
rendered.
AS the train carrying the officers
and prisoners passed through Eagle
River, the crowds became so threat
ening that the deputies drew their
weapons in defense of the prisoners.

GOVERNOR vETOES
D|STR|CT|NG GILL
APPROVAL OF LEGISLATURES
APPORTIONMENT PLAN RE-
FUSED BY EXECUTIVE.
MEANS RECALL OF S0l0NS
Must Again Thresh Out Matter After
Near Adjournment - OisgruntIed
Congressman Expected to Work
for Revision of Entire Measure.

Misunderstanding 1t neither fair
nor constitutional" Gov. McGovern
has vetoed the bill apportioning the
state into congressional and legisla-
tive districts. The veto came after
only an hours consideration of the
measure.
This means that the legislature,
which had all but adjourned and
was remaining in status quo until the
governor should report on the final
bills, will be recalled to again thresh
out the apportionment problem, and
for this it is expected the session will
be prolonged for week or ten days.
The redistricting of Milwaukee
county is given as the prime motive
for executive disapproval AS one of
the most fragrant of the apportion-
ments, the governor cites the joining
Of the Third and Fourth wards of
that city, which have combined pop
ulation of almost $1,000, to form the
Third assembly district, while the
Fourteenth ward with a smaller num-
Der of inhabitants than either the
Third or Fourth, alone constitutes an
assembly district. He also points
equally grave defects in the sena-
torial apportionments.
1t is the feeling that the veto opens
the door for a complete overhauling
of the entire bill. Several congress-
men are reported as being heartily
disguised with the districts which
have been given them, and it is like
ly that the entire Washington dele
CATION will bring influence to bear
at Madison in an effort to get more
satisfactory apportionment. Com
paratiyely few protests on the as
sembly and senatorial district appor-
tionments have been heard from the
state outside of Milwaukee. 1t is
said, however, that Dane county poll
ticians are anxious to get back some
of their old counties and Columbia
county politicians object against be-
ing cut away from Dane county and
put in democratic district.

the first test vote on the Cana
dian reciprocity bill, defeated, IA tc
80, the amendment proposed by Sen
ator Cummins placing meats Of al
kinds coming from Canada on the
free list The IA votes cast for the
amendment will be undoubtedly cast
against the passage of the bill.
This action foreshadows the course
of the senate with respect to other
amendments. 1t has been apparent
for some time that the president would
have his way in getting through un.
amended the Canadian reciprocity
compact.
The rejection of the first Cummins
amendment demonstrates that this ex.
pectation was well founded.
On account OF the absence OF so
many senators from Washington only
q bare quorum voted. The vote was
as follows. the yea votes indicating
opposition to the Taft program:
Observation-Disclosures, Bourne,
Bristow, Clapp. Clark (Wyc.) Cum
minis, Dixon, Gronna, Kenyon, Nelson,
Sutherland-11. Democrats-Bailey
Simmons, Thornton-3.

ocrats-Bryan, Chamberlain. Chiffon.

Johnston, Martin, MARITIME, Myers,
Owen. Pomerene, Reed, Shively, Smith,
Stone, Swanson, Williams-19.
An analysis Of the vote shows the
progressives voted as unit for the
Cummins proposal. They were sup
ported by three Republicans usually
numbered among the regulars-Clark
OF Wyoming, Sutherland OF Utah and
Nelson of Minnesota. Mr.. Sutherland
always has been an independent and
Mr.. Nelson knows no ties with respect
to tariff questions. He is accounted a
low tariff man. Only three Democrats
voted for free meats.
1t is expected the fourteen votes
cast for the amendment will be cast
against the passage of the reciprocity
bill.
The Democrats who voted against
the Cummins amendment did SO on
the ground that its adoption would
open the door to countless other
amendments and result In the defeat
OF the agreement.
Most OF the Republicans who voted
against the amendment were actuated
by desire to comply with the presi-
dents wishes.
1t is expected that a vote will be
taken Tuesday or Wednesday on other
amendments offered by Senator Cum
minis and Senator Simmons, designed
to add manufactures of raw materials,
such as -four, to the free list, which
amendments will probably be voted
down.
AS soon as reciprocity is out of the
way, the leaders in the senate will at
tempt to reach an agreement for a
vote on the Democratic farmers free

murder charges, growing out of the
destruction of the Times plant Octo-

Judge Bordwell stated that the
