Hitchcock Would Purchase and Oper-
ate Telegraph Lines.
Washington = Among the recon-
mendations Postmaster General Hitch
cock will submit to congress dur
ing the present session is one
that the telegraph lines be acquired
by the government and operated as
part of the postal service.
In approximately fifty countries Of
the world government controlled tele-
graphs now are in successful and prof
table operation. In many of the coun-
tries they are operated in connection
with the postal service
In this country post offices are
maintained in numerous places not
reached by the telegraph systems, and
the proposed consolidation, therefore,
would afford a favorable opportunity
for the wide extension Of Geographic
facilities. In many small towns where
the telegraph companies have offices
the telegraph and mail business could
be handled readily by the same en-
ployes.
Because of the more extensive or
ganization maintained by the postal
service and the freedom from taxation
and other charges to which private
corporations are subject, the govern
ment undoubtedly could afford greater
facilities, at lower rates, than are af-
forded by companies now conducting
the telegraph business.

ing New York-Vast Crowds
at Wharf.

New York. - One of the great
est eYations that has ever been
accorded a man Of the Catholic church
in the United States signaIzed the re
turn here of Cardinal John Muir
ply Farley, coming back from Rome,
where he had been elevated from
archbishop OF New York to the high
est honor within the grant Of the
Catholic church. excepting that OF the
holy father.
Many Of the most prominent figures
in the public life Of the nation were
among these who participated in the
welcome to Cardinal Farley, which
was not only brilliant, but impressive.
At TwenCy-third street the cardinals
carriage turned into Fifth avenue and
proceeded in q direct line to St Pat
ricks Cathedral, the curbs on both

STATE MAY ASSIST
BLACK RIVER FALLS
Immediate Action Urged at a
Conference in Milwaukee.
SPECIAL SESSION FAVORED
Another Meeting With Governor to
Consider Advisab.Iiy of Calling
Legislature Together = Members
Would Receive No Pay.

Milwaukee. conference Of
committees of the Merchants and
Manufacturers association and the
Chamber of Commerce, which met
with Gov. Francis E. McGovern here.
decided to recommend the calling of
a special session of the legislature to
consider the matter of assisting the
city OF Black River Falls to rebuild
the dam which was destroyed in the
food Of last fall.
1t was the sense of the meeting
that the state is morally responsible
for the destruction of any dam, and
that Wisconsin should make some
provision to assist the citizens of
Black River Falls to have the river
flow back into its original course. No
money can be loaned Black River
Falls unless the legislature makes
the appropriation
A meeting in the governors Office
at Madison will be held to decide the
cost of special session and the ap-
prOXimate time it would take to &C
complish the object.
In the event a special session is
called, members of the legislature
would be required to serve without
compensation. The only money they
would receive would be for mileage.

VALLEY MENACED BY FLOOD
Ice Gorges in Fox River Threaten
Dams and Factories With VaIu-
ton of Many Millions.

AppletOn.-At a mass meeting of
the city officials, manufacturers, wa
ter power owners and railroad Off
Gals Of the Fox river valley, held
here, committee was appointed to
take charge of the work on the Fox
river, and were given power to do
anything they think best to relieve
the situation. Another committee
was appointed to raise funds to pros
ecute the work. Over S20,000,00O
worth of property was represented
at the meeting.
The river has been raising from
three TO six inches an hour, and it is
stated that unless a channel can lbe
kept open from Lake Winnebago to
Green Bay until warmer weather,
nothing can prevent the vast volume
Of ice and water from taking out
every dam and bridge and many of
the mills between Neenah and Me
nasha and Green Bay.
Peter R. Thorn, who has probably
had more experience than any man
in Wisconsin in battling with ice and
water, stated tonight that the situa-
ton is the worst he has ever seen.
Anchor ice has practically filled the
river from Menasha to Green Bay.
Lake Winnebago is sixteen inches
higher than ever before known at
this time of year.
Another siege of zero weather will
cause the river to freeze from the
bottom up, the anchor ice freezing to
the bottom and the water coming
from Lake Winnebago will back up
on every level and food all the mills
and then wash out a new channel
and carry everything before it.
If there is a thaw, it will bring
even more water down. will loosen
up the hundreds of thousands of
tons of ice now piled uP in the river
and sweep everything before it.
At every point on the river, mills
will block open their wheels and dy-
Mantle will be used to keep the ice
moving.

Wisconsin Dealers Form Association
to Establish Better Trade Rea-
tons and improve Roads.

interests in legislative and good road
matters, state agents here for the
auto show formed the Wisconsin

Black River in Old Bed.

Black River FaIls.-Black river at
this point is now murmuring along
over the rocky bed it occupied since
its creation until it left it with such
disastrous effect on the sixth of last
October. The cofferdam was so near
Iy completed that the flow down the
new channel was checked. Work on
the structure was begun on Dec. 6
and would have been completed
weeks ago but for the disastrous
food. A great sigh of relief goes
up as further danger to the city is
practically over. Thirty-five men
have been employed steadily. Work
on a restraining wall will be begun
at once by state engineers.

PROTECT AGAINST TYPHOID
Vaccination of All Members of Wis
consin National Guard Planned
for State Encampment.

MISREPRESENTATION against ty-
phoid ofathe entire National guard of
Wisconsin when the companies go in
to encampment at Camp Douglas
next spring, with vaccine furnished
by the hygienic laboratory of the
University of Wisconsin, is being
planned.
The proposed cooperation between
the university and the National
guard arises from the success which
has attended the use of the vaccine
in the United States army, where it
has been made compulsory for every
officer and enlisted man under As to
be vaccinated against typhoid
Since the first of December, when
the hygienic laboratory started the
distribution of the anti-typhoid vac
cine, over 200 vaccinations have been
sent out.

MANAGES BATTLE
RESCUERS IN FIRE
Emergency Hospital at Dunning,
ILL.,, Is Destroyed.
2,7O0 INSANE PATIENTS SAVED
Steward of Institution Struggles for
Life With Crazy Man Is Feet in
Air-PoIice Stops Scores
From Suicide.

Chicago. = Hundreds Of men and
women, insane and tubercuIar pa
tients of the Dunning CID insti-
tute for the insane, were driven
screaming from their rooms when the
infrmary building known as the old
poorhouse, was destroyed by fire.
The 27O inmates OF the building
were, in spite OF their inhrmities OF
mind and body, with one exception,
taken to places Of safety in the other
buildings.
The fire was characterized by al
most innumerabIe acts OF heroism on
the part Of underempIoyes and at
tendants.
Two patients turned on a guard
and struck, bit and kicked him in an
effort to drive him away. Failing in
this they tried to throw him over the
high railing and down to the ground,
so feet below.
They had succeeded in pushing him
to the top of the railing when he
broke from their grasp, knocked down
one of the men and forced the other
into the wing in which he was caring
for his quota of patients. Then he
carried in the other man. still kicking
and biting.
The entire population of the Dun
ming group of institutions was slightly
more than 200 patients and 435 at
tendants. Every one Of these 3,135 men
and women are accounted for.
Many of the patients fought with
all the fury of insanity when the at
tendants or others sought to rescue
them.
The police, with drawn clubs helped
to form lines of the patients and to keep
the violent from committing suicide
or injuring those who were trying to
save them.

COW POPULATION
HELD TOO SMALL
W. D. Hoard Declares B tier
Production inadequate.
MAIN CAUSE OF HIGH PRICES
OIeo Tax Not Responsible in Opin-
ION of Former Governor - SAYS
Manufacturers Seeks to Humbug
People TO Get Law Repealed.

Fort AtkinsOn.-The fact that the
COW population has not increased
as fast as the human population" is
assigned as the cause for the present
high prices of butter by former Gov.
W. D. Hoard, editor of Hoard's
Dairyman, who has been one OF the
foremost dairy advocates in the state
for years. Regarding the present
situation he says:
In my opinion the cause of the
high price of butter is its scarcity.
The COW population has not kent
pace with the human population.
Then, besides, a very large proper
ton of the milk over what it for
merly was, has been diverted to fam
lily consumption and condensing pur-
poses.
The great milk shipping districts
no longer raise calves. They buy
their COWS and in about two years
sell them for beef and buy again.
''The tax of 10 cents a pound on
artifcially colored oleomargarine has
nothing to do with the high price of
butter, flor the reason that about 95
per cent of oleomargarine is taxed
only one-fourth of a cent a pound,
because it is not artifcialIy colored,
The talk of the tax increasing the
price of butter is a humbug. Once
let butter become plenty and down
will come the price of butter and
OleOmargarine.
But the oleo makers think they
can fool the consumer into opposition
to the law and thus work its repeal.
Then they will have the field to
themselves, with the privilege of
selling a counterfeit stuff for butter
itself"

FINGERS and Toes.

DR.. Lucas Lucas. an eminent Lon
lOn anatomist, predicts that in the
course of time, say in 100000 years
or so, man will become a one-toed
animal. His theory is that the outer
toes, being less and less employed,
will gradually disappear
This recalls a curious though quite
a different thing. There lives in a
certain region of Pennsylvania a
wealthy family the male members Of
which all have FIVE fingers on each
hand, the fifth one appearing just
back Of the fourth finger on the nor
NAL hand the extra member being as
well developed and serviceable as the
others.
This popularity has been inherited
by the males Of the family from gen
Grafton to generation, and so far
from being regarded by them as a
deformity, the chances are that if a
son with only four fingers on each
hand were born to any of them he
would be looked upon as a defective.

PLEADS FOR CHILD LABoRER.
Beverage Says National Legislation

Beverage Says National Legislation
Only VIII End Evil.
New York. - Albert J. Bever-
idge, former senator from Indiana,
was the speaker at a meeting
of the Civic Forum in Carnegie
hall, and he delivered a stirring ad-
dress on child labor, a subject of
which he has made a deep study.
The speaker thought the only way
to end the evil was through national
legislation, and said if there was hon
est doubt about the nations power to
do it by the interstate commerce
method, the nation still has another
weapon that would be efective-the
taxing power.

SMALL FARMS FOR MEMCANs
They Are to Be Made From Large
Tracts Purchased BY the
Government.

The first move Of the government
toward buying large tracts Of land for
the purpose Of cutting them up into
small farms and inviting their set
clement by Mexican agriculturists
seems about to be undertaken.
The Sautena hacienda, an enormous
property owned by lingo Noriega. Bar
ron Zayas and Gen. Porfirio Diaz and
situated in the northern part Of the
republic, viii be acquired.
Gustavo Madero and Gen. Manuel
Garcia CueIlar are at the head Of the
syndicate which will make the pur-
chase and begin the irrigation Of the
land at oEce. The purchase price and
the cost Of irrigation viii be, it is as
serted, not less than $17.00O,OOO.
Gen. Diaz had a similar plan in view
and had arranged for the government
to pay to the owners the sum of So
100000 for the purpose of irrigating
the property, with the understanding
that it was to be sold TO the govern
ment to be parceIled out among email
farmers on easy payment terms. The
s5,O00,000 was deposited in the Cen
trial bank in this city In furtherance
Of the plan, and the money is still
there for such purpose.
AS soon as the irrigation develop
ment is well under way the hacienda
viii pass into the hands of the govern
ment and then all Mexicans who are
living in Texas will be invited to come
TO Mexico and take up the lands for
settlement and cultivation.
In the middle Of the big hacienda
there is a small ranch called Colon
bres- It is intended to cut this ranch
up into building lots and build town
there as the center Of The farming

when Your Play Goes to Rehearsal.

when Your Play Goes to Rehearsal.
When your play goes into rehearsal
it is the child of your fancy adventur-
ing obviously among rufians. The
actors, ! dare say, feel like doctors
trying to save a ricketty child. The
artist must be an egoist and the ac-
tors violate the egoism. In playwrit-
ing it is impossible to maintain the
austerity of your vision, impossible
even to persuade yourself that it may
be maintained The theater is fas-
cinating, but I can imagine that a
writer of plays might conceive a dis
taste for it. He might write his plays
for the stage and then jealousy guard
them from performance. There would
be more Of this, perhaps, if it were
not rather difficult to get plays pro
duced; those who would remain aloof
are very readily taken at their word.
