APPRENTICE LAW IS SCORED
Manufacturers Say Limitation of 81
Hours of Work Per Week Is 4
Check to Ambitious Boys.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF the. Mer-
chants and Manufacturers associa-
tion assailed the recently enacted APP
prentice law before membe Of the
Wisconsin Industrial commission at
a conference held here.
The law In question instructs en-
ployers of apprentices to limit the
period of labor to fifty-five hours a
week. five of which should be de-
voted to educational advancement.
Objections to the measure were
raised by manufacturers, claiming
such laws completely shattered the
present order of labor; that ambi-
tious boys learning trade should not
be checked by time limit, and
should not be compelled to spend five
hours weekly In schoolroom when
industrial advancement and perfec-
ton was what they desired.
1t was thought enforcement Of
such law would impair progress in
the output Of manufactured product
and greatly cripple dealers who
would be unable to meet obligations.

DOUBLE KENOSHA MURDER
Outraged Husband Stays Wife and
His Cousin With Hatchet--Woman
Preferred the Younger Man.

ha.---Rivaling in its atrocity
The crimes which made the White
chapel district in London famous
during the career of Jack the Rip
per, Kenosha has had a double muir
der, the most horrible in the Grim
inal annals Of this section of the
state. Pasquale Marchesi, aged 81
years, brutally hacked to pieces with
a Ratchet, his wife, Rosario Marchesi.
and Pasquale Marchesi, aged 10
years, whom he alleged to have been
her paramour. The man and woman
were in bed together at the home Of
Marchesi at the time Of the crime,
The murderer made his way into
the house through a window and
struck SO suddenly that the man and
woman had no chance to escape or
make defense. The bodies OF both
we're horribly mutilated. After
wandering aimlessly for twelve
hours, Marchesi went to the Rev.
Auf. Bandizonne, and gave himself
up. He was landed in pal. where
he made written confession of his
crime. He claims that he was entire
ly justified by the unwritten law and
seemed to glory In the horrible fea-
lures of his crime.
Pasquale Marchesi. the slain man,
had lived for some time in the home
of his cousin, after whom he was
named, and there were numerous
quarrels because of Mrs Marchesis
alleged preference for him.

Washington, d. C.-With the de-
claration that no instances of vote
buying were discovered but with
words of censure for the use of large
sums of money in his campaign, the
senate committee which Investigated
the election of United States Senator
Isaac Stephenson is expected to re-
port shortly after the opening Of con-

ing to we'll founded report here,

clared in the hearings, and con-
domination Of that system either in
