BISHOPS DEATH MASK MADE
Cast from Features of Late Fond du
Lac Prelate to Be Used as
Model for Crypt.

Fond du Lac.-A cast from the
death mask made of Bishop Grafton,
has been successfully struck. The
model represents an accurate inn
preston of the prelates features,
showing the strong lines of his coun-
tenance, and the impressive forehead.
The cast shows the bishop to have
wasted considerably because of his
long illness and confinement. Like
in death the face appears thin and
the lines more sharply drawn than
they We're when the bishop was in
health
Just what will be done with the
cast is not known, however. it is
likely to be used as model for the
crypt which is to be placed In St.
Paul's cathedral year hence The
plan, IL is said, is to fashion the cover
Of the crypt into recumbent statue
of the dead prelate.

Madison.-B. H. Meyer, member of
the interstate commerce commission,
held conference here with repre-
sentatives of the Wisconsin Millers'
association on the question of modi-
flying the commissions regulations
regarding the privilege of milling
grain in transit. Under the regula-
tions of the commission the milIers
are compelled to pay what they con-
slider too high charge for the priv
ilege of stopping grain for milling
and then reshipping it in milled
form. Commissioner Meyer said he
would submit the matter to the full
commission when he reached Wash
ington. The millers were represent
ed by E. j. Lachman of La Crosse,
secretary of the Wisconsin -Millers'
association; H. NJ. Mulberger OF Wa
tertown. J. G. Horton of Grand Rap
ids, r. e. York of Portage, George
Koenig of Watertown and others.

BROKER COMMITS SUICIDE
Circumstances Surrounding Death OF
Edward J. Dwyer Are Puzzle
to TIE Police.

Janesville.-E. J. Dryer, a mem
Der of the Chicago board of trade
ten years ago, was found dead In the
rear of freight house. A bullet
wound and other circumstances indi-
Gated that he had taken his own life.
This theory is strengthened by a
story told here by James Schaller, a
jockey, who said he had taken din
ner with Dryer in a Chicago cafe.
"Dwyer spent his money freely al
though | never knew him to plunge
on a horse race. He must have spent
the most of $50 on the dinner and
wine he bought when was his guest.
He remarked to me that his money
was all gone, that he was through
and that he was going to Wisconsin
to make an end of it,
When Dryers body was found
there was only twelve cents in his
pockets A few years ago he could
draw his check for thousands of dol
lars. The corpse was found in a sit
ting posture with back and head
against the screen door and was first
noticed by Mrs. Artlip, mistress of
the house, as she opened the back
door
Thinking that 1t was merely a
drunken man on the steps she tele-
phoned one of the boarders to see
that he was removed. On his arrival
in response to her call he at once mo-
ticed that the supposed drunken man
was corpse. Blood was despatched
over his neck cloth and clothes, from
wound in his face. and between his
outstretched legs was a pool OF con-
gealed blood

URGE SCHOOL LAW CHANGE
Public Affairs Board Wants unsa Iarl.
ed County Boards Would EN-
power Body to Guide Work.

Madison.--The election OF unsal-
aried county boards OF education and
the appointment by such boards of
the county superintendent, Is favored
in an announcement issued by the
state board of public affairs. After a
close examination of the rural schools
for the past six months by a compe-
tent force of experienced schoolmen,
the board has prepared series of
suggested administrative and legis-
latiYe measures.
These recommendation have been
submitted at various times to wis
consin schoolmen, school officials and
have called forth hearty approval.
County boards of education should
be elected by the direct vote Of men
and women at the spring election,
says the announcement. The board
would consist of three members. The
terms Of ONCE would be six years. To
provide for the stable character OF
the board it is suggested that one
member be elected every two years
The first board would choose by lot
which of its members should serve
for tM0, four and six years respec-
lively This board would serve With
out salary.
Among the most important duties
of this county board of education
would be the appointment Of the
county superintendent from an ap-
proved list made up by the state civil
service commission. Among its
other powers would be to exercise
general control over the county
schools Of agriculture and the
county training schools for teachers;
to pass upon the Capitalization OF
school districts, to advise the super
intendent to withhold state aid from
small and inefficient schools when
ever in it's Judgment the facts war
rant 1t and to appoint en- assistant to
the county superintendent whenever
the number of teachers in the dis
trict exceed one hundred.

ALLEGED SLAYER IS ABROAD
Detective LEAVES for Italy to Bring
Sack Suspected Murderer Re-
qulsitIon Papers Secured.

Milwaukee.-The necessary requi-
sition papers having been made out.
Edward p. Cunningham. private
detective, left Milwaukee for Italy
to bring back Anthony Borello, al
legged to have murdered John L. Sex
ton OF Elkhart Lake, Wis, last June.
Detective Cunningham took up the
hunt and, after being on the case
three weeks, secured sufficient evil
dence, it Is alleged, to bring about
the arrest OF Borello.
All of the evidence collected was
forwarded to Italy. The evidence
was found sufficient to warrant ex-
tradition papers being issued, the
first time Italy having done this for
the state of Wisconsin in forty years
Borello was captured oh farm As
miles from railroad and 200 miles
from Naples, the nearest city. He
was living with his wife and four
children, and it was only after hard
battle that ne was taken. His house
had the appearance OF an arsenal,
There We're guns in every room.
An old fashioned silver watch, in
which the name of the murdered man
was Inscribed, was the first evidence
which led to the arrest. This watch.
with $4,000. was taken from the
house on the night of the murder.
and shortly after Cunningham took
charge of the case he found the
watch in a small town on the Mis-
sissippi river. near st. Louis. By
careful investigation, he found that
the murderer had come to the town
one week after the act was commit
ted and had lived there for some
time. He had left the town, how
ever, two months before Cunning
ham took the case.
