THAT MISSING VOUCHER.

but was required to sign a voucher for
$3.50. The question is. why was the
artist required TO sign a voucher for
three times as much money as he got7
When the matter came before the
House committee which is examining
the accounts of the various depart.
ments, Secretary Knox. through whose
department this transaction was con
Quoted, declared his lack of knowledge
Of the whole transaction. The voucher

about it was obtainable. and the Nom

to look upon the item as one of fraud

vehemently against this view, but still
the mystery remained.

1t is difficult to see why Smoot

said IN his effort TO get President

BISHOP SORE AT GOVERNOR.

State Senator Isaac Bishop who was

at the executive office today and de-
mand an explanation from Crow. Mccoy
ern of his action in declaring that he
would not attempt to remove Capt.

of chief fish and game warden until
his term expired in June. Senator
Bishop was not in a pleasant frame of
mind when here nor has he been in
the best of spirits since Feb. 10 when
Gov. McGovern sent the name of John
A. Sholts of Sparta to the senate for
confirmation as chief fish and game
warden. The governor had made SEN

Billy Ellison and AL Goodale
Fight 10 Fast Rounds at
Show of Athletic Assn.
TWO WIN BY KNOCKOUT ROUTE

-Four rafting good bouts were pull
ed off at the Goldberg Coliseum on
Tuesday night at the second show of
the Kcnosha Athletic Club and the
show proved to be one of the best box
ing shows ever given in Kenosha.
The feature of the card was the ten
round bout between Billy Ellison and
Al Gcodale of Chicago and after ten
rounds of hard fighting it would have
been difficult matter to pick the win
neE Ellison seemed to be little I'M
der weight but at that he gave Good
ale all he wanted during the ten
rounds. Neither man seemed to have
strength to land a knockout punch and
the crowd would have been well sat
isfed with draw decision had any
decision been given. Ellison showed
lot of Improvement over his former
condition and he had Goodale guessing
most of the time Goodale showed a
willingness to mix things in the early
rounds of the fight but Ellison had no
trouble in keeping away from him.
In the semi-wind up Harry Jones
VINO had made wonderful showing at
the first show given by the club met a
tartar iii Larry Wescott of Milwaukee
and for eight rounds the two bows
hammered each other much to the de-
light Of the big crowd which witnessed
the contest Jones had shade the
better the last rounds of the contest
but the work of the Milwaukee man
in the earlier rounds gave him little
the best of the contest. Both of the
men were strong at the end of the
eight rounds and it is pretty certain
that in q long go Jones would have
been able to take the measure of Wes-
colt.
The first bout proved to be deeid-
edly short one as Young Williams of
Kenosha landed hard and often on
Young Gilmore of Racine and gave him
a sleeping potion before the end of the
first round.
The second fight also ended in a
knockout Young Hammie of Duluth
scoring a clean llnock out from Al War
den Of Milwaukee at the end of the
third round Of fast fighting.

OPPOSED TO SPRING SHOOTING
Sportslnen are Also Demanding that
Captain George Rickeman of Racine
be Retained as Head of the State
Game Department.

Sportsmen of the state, those who
enjoy fishing and hunting, are using
every effort to have the state legis-
lature amend the stase fish and
game laws 50 as to protect fish and
game during certain seasons Of the
year and which now are open. Meet
ings Of rod xand gun clubs in the sew
eral parts af the state are being held
and resolutions are being adopted and
copies are sent to Gov MeGovern or
members Of the state legislature. Petit
tions are also being circulated among
sportsmon who are not members of
clubs and these are being signed.
Resolutions are also being adopted
by the clubs and associations urging
Gov McGovern to retain George w.
Rlckeman us chief fish and game war
den.
A few days ago at meeting held
at Ladysmith of the members of the
Northern Wisconsin Rod and Gun club
the following resolution was unani-
mously adopted and copies were sent
to Gov McGovern and members of the
state legislature;
Resolved, That we, as members of
the Northern Wisconsin Rod and Gun
Club, believing in the protection of
The game and fish, would recommend
70 the honorable members of the legis-
atnsa Of this state as follows;
LIST. That September 10 of each
year re made the opening date for all
game birds, rabbits and squirrels. That
having several opening dates is un-
satisfactory to the game wardens and
also to honest sportsmen.
md That the opening date for
all fish, except trout, shall be on the
LIST of June of each year That the
length of trout to be caught shall be
seven inches, measuring from tip of
nose to end of the tail, not the end Of
ING iC0Hy l'dIG VI bllC Gnu VI IuG Odl1 ;
that the length of all other fish re-
main as under present laws, except
that they shall be measured from tip
to tip
3rd That the trout season remain
The same as under tho present laws.
4th That the deer season remain
5ho same as under present laws That
we protest against law that would
allow the killing of buck deer only.
9th. That we protest against any
open season for the killing of ducks
IN the spring Of the year,
9th. That We believe George w.
Rickeman, our present state game war
den, is highly efficient officer and
one that should remain at the head of
the department, having done more
good than all other chief wardens for
The protection of game.

WANT STATE SCHOOL
Bill introduced in Legisla-
ture to Establish School
for Girl Offenders
STATE SCHOOL BADLY NEEDED

Because of the conditions alleged
TO have existed at the Wisconsin In
dustrial school for Girls private in
stitution owned by Milwaukee persons
and situated at North Milwaukee de-
mand was made Of members of the
state legislature to present bill which
would appropriate 100000 for the
erection of an industrial school to be
operated and maintained by the state.
Racine county was the first in the
state to protest against conditions ex-
isting at the school for girls and then
statewide campaign followed. The
Milwaukee school receives annual APP
preparations from the state and
amounts from the several counties but
despite that the school is under the
jurisdiction of a board of managers
and the state board of control has no
thing to say relative to the rules or
management of til school. 1t is the de-
sire of judges and peace officers of the
state to have school established for
girls conducted along the same lines as
the state school for boys and which is
located at Green Bay. If such school
is established then the. girls who are
sent there, as offenders can be paroled
at any time. This is not done at the
school to which girl offenders are now
sent.
The Central Council of Philanthropy
les of Milwaukee, which has the 80.
X" of the Russell Sage foundation,
has made a legislative move that will
be watched with interest by charity
students throughout the country. Yes
terday Assemblyman Stern introduced
the bill to establish ga state reforma-
tory for the custody, protection, train
ing and reformation of female Of
tenders. The bill, which was drawn
by a special committee of the Milwau-
kee Council of Philanthropies, carries
out the advanced theories Of sociolog-
ical students throughout the world. 1t
fills a gap that today is appearing to
the judges and peace officers of Wis
cousin. The bill relates to women be-
tween the ages of 16 and 35, and pro-
vides for offenders between these age
extremes. The bill makes an appro.
priation of 100000 for reformatory
building and $4,000 a month for its
maintenance. The building must be
large enough to accommodate $50 in
mates. 1t is to be under the jurisdic
ton of the state board of control and
this board is to see to its building be-
fore July l. 1912.
