PRESS ADMITTED
T0G.O.P PC0NTESTS
REPRESENTATIVES OF FIVE NEWS
ASSOCIATIONS ARE
RECOGNIZED.
COMMITTEE IN SESSION.
Rosewater is Made Chairman With
out Anticipated Struggle Old
\ Rules of Committee are
ADOPTED.

Chicago, June s. Publicity will
govern the Republican national com.
mittee's deliberations upon the con.
tests for seats in the national conven.
ton. This was decided without op.
position at the opening session of the
committee in accordance with the ex.
pressed wishes of President Taft and
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt. The pub.
lie and the newspapers will be repre-.
sented by the five press associations
recognized by the admission Of their
reporters to the floor of the national
house of representatives at Washing
ton.
Two men from each such press as
sociation will be permitted to be pres
ent during all deliberations and de
cisions of the committee. There will
be no executive sessions.
Thus declaring emphatically for pub.
licity in all it's proceedings, the com.
mittee also elected Victor Rosewater
of Omaha permanent chairman and
adopted the rules of four years ago,
which are to govern the hearings pre-
liminary to the national convention,
which begins June 49,
Old Quorum Upheld.
The only other vote Of significant
character was on the proposal of Sen.
ator Borah that eight members should
be sufficient to order roll call This
was defeated and the old rule provid-
ing for 20 for this purpose was re-en.
acted.
The Taft adherents did not object to
the widest publicity, but argued that
the committee did not have facilities
for admitting all and urged that while
part of the committees sessions
should be practically executive, steno.
graphic reports should be given to the
press.
A plan to give out a daily steno.
graphic report of the proceedings
came up through the adoption of a
motion by Committeeman Shackleford
Of Alaska and this will be done.
One subject which was generally
expected to cause friction was scarce
ly mentioned. That was the expected
effort to seat the new national com.
mitteemen recently chosen by various
state primaries and conventions. 1t
was expected to come up especially in
the case of R. B. Howell of Nebraska,
who will succeed Victor Rosewater.
The latter was elected with opposition
to be chairman in place of the late
John F. Hill of Maine and to serve
until the close of the national con.
vention.
The old rules, giving 80 minutes to
each side in contests over state dele.
cations at large and Is minutes per
side in district contests were re-adopt.
ed without opposition. With 23S con.
tests pending, it is plain that the COM
mittee will need every available hour
from now until the convention meets,
on noon of Tuesday, June 18.
On resolution of Harry S. New of
Indiana, the basis of representation
will be as at present.

The Feminine Institute of Law OF
Paris, at the Inauguration OF a series
o: lectures recently, listened to an ad-
er, Maitre Henri Robert.
The eminent counsel drew very
tlattering picture OF his lady COL

law they are admirable in their
tenacity and ingenuity as we'll as in
their confidence in the final result
Some counsel take up case merely

and when it Is over leave the court
with a sense of relief But there is
another sort who have faith in JUS.

the triumph of their cause. Nothing
wearies them, and no failure discour-
ages them. They joyfully climb up
every step in the ladder of jurisdic.
ton, and II they are beaten they ex-
pect other judges to give them what
they have just been denied"
M. Robert paid high tribute to the
services rendered by lady lawyers in
penal cases. and especially where chill.
dren are concerned, every little culprit
always having compassionate lady
counsel to plead for him or her. He
concluded by deprecating the facile
jokes made at the expense of fem

BISHOPS DEATH MASK MAD E
Cast from Features of Late Fond du
Lac PreIate TO Be Used as
Model tor 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 prelate's 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 were when the bishop was in
health.
Just what will be done with the
east 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 a year hence. The
plan, 1t is said, is to fashion the cover
of the crypt into recumbent statue
of the dead prelate.

BY PROF. A. s. ALEXANDER,
Wisconsin College OF Agriculture.

Wisconsin has 1850 licensed grade
and mongrel stations and 1854 pure
bred stations. Though the percent.
age of grade and mongrel sires Is con-
| stantly decreasing, it is a regretable
| condition where more than half the
stations In the state are capable OF
beget'ing only mongrel or scrub OFF
spring. The use Of grade sires makes
absolutely uncertain the transmission
Of desirable qualities, and places the
foal at handicap on the market be-
cause of his breeding
Grading up can be accomplished
only by the persistent consecutive use
OF pure bred sires OF the same breed
1t can never be done by employing
pure bred sires OF different breeds. 1t
cannot be done by using "cross-bred,"
grade or "mongrel or scrub" sires.
Such animals are of mixed breeding;
hence they1ransmit mixed characters.
A grade stallion Is one that has a
pure bred sire, but not a pure bred
dam. He cannot beget grade foal
He begets a mongrel. A mongrel or
scrub stallion has unknown breeding
and begets foal whose characteristics
cannot be foretold by the character of
his parents. The pure bred sire rep
resents a continuous line of pure bred
animals OF the same breed. He pos
sesses, therefore, the power to stamp
upon his offspring. the characteristics
OF the breed he represents.
TT encourage the use Of pure bred
sires some county fair officials are Of
fering prizes for foals from pure bred
sires. At the Dane county fair In 1911,
the four handsome silver cups shown
in the illustration were offered by the
Pure Bred Sire league OF Dane county.
Donations toward the purchase of the
cups were received from owners OF
pure bred stations. Sucking foals by
pure bred draft sires made a strong
exhibit, as did also an open class for
one or two-year-old colt or filly BY
pure bred draft sires This year, the
matter Is better advertised and
large number Of colts will compete for
the $25 silver cup offered in each of
the classes for pure bred or grade
draft and coach or roadster foals.
The cups being permanent hand
some objects of value, will stay in the
family OF the winner. will be talked
about, and will attract the attention of
the boys and interest them In the
breeding of good horses. Similar prizes
are provided for competition in the
other horse breeding counties of the
state.

Part OF New Third Oegree Test
After Plea of Not Guilty.

Kenosha.-A mock lynching staged
by Sheriff Andrew F. Stahl Of Keno
sha county was productive Of con-
fession near here from a negro ac-
cused of grand larceny. The mob
was organized by Sheriff Stahl in a
realistic manner. The negro was
overpowered and apparently about to
be strangled when he broke down and
confessed.
Wiley Davie of Kansas City was
the negro. He confessed that he had
stolen gun valued at $50. Sheriff
Stahl directed one of his deputies to
go out and get farmers together and
have them stop at a farmhouse be-
tween the village of Salem and Ke-
nosha.
You know the people in this Sec
ton don't like negroes" said the
sheriff, Just before he reached the
place where the mob" was waiting
and he detailed to the prisoner the
grewsome story Of how one negro
had been lynched in the county.
The negro declined to confess and
one of the men ran to barn nearby
ard brought out rope. In second
the hooting men had thrown the
moose about the neck of the negro
and were taking him off to wood
land.
Then Davies changed his mind and
calling the sheriff he declared that he
was ready to confess. Stahl and his
deputies waved back the mob and the
negro led the sheriff to a swamp and
dug the gun out from under the
leaves where he had buried 1t.
