STATE GETS TITLE TO ISLES
Possession to Bits Of Land in Lakes
Vested in Wisconsin by Act
of Congress.

Washington, D. C.-The house
passed a bill transferring to the state
of wisconsin patents to between 800
and 400 small islands in the lakes
within the state forest reserve on the
headwaters of the Wisconsin and
Chippewa rivers.
The islands average about two
acres each and most of them are
rough and rocky and are too small
for homesteads. The islands will be
valuable, however, as sites for sum-
mer cottages such as the state is
erecting on banks of lakes in reserve
and will add materially to the ad-
vantages of the state as summer re-
sorts for people of the middle west.

SLAIN BY CHINESE PIRATES
Earl r. Hicks. Oshkosh,' Son of Fora
mer Attorney General of State,
Reported Victim.

Pekin, China-Three Americans,
believed to be teachers, are reported
to have been robbed and wounded
while exploring the Yangtse river
near Wushan, province of Szechwan.
One dispatch gives the mems names
as Hicks, Hoffman and Sheldon. Doc
tors and soldiers have been dis
patched to their succor.
Another dispatch says that Mr..
Hicks was killed and that his home
was in Oshkosh.
Oshkosh@The Mr. Hicks who is
reported to have been killed in China
is Bert B. Hicks, son of Emmett r.
Hicks of this city, formerly attorney
general of the state and for many
years well known lawyer of this
city. Young Hicks, who was grad
uate of the Michigan School of
Mines at Houghton, went to China
about year ago to become teacher
in the University of Chengtu.
His family was terribly shocked
by the news contained in press dis
patches tonight that Bert had been
killed by robbers. They have not
received any authentic news direct
and owing to the meager report from
China find some reason for hope that
their son, while probably in the par
ty that is reported to have been at
tackled may not have been killed Mr.
and Mrs. Hicks will at once endeavoT
to get some authentic news through
the state department.

of his Office on charges of conduct
prejudicial to good order and disci-

so far as he was concerned the of
ficer's decision ended the agitation in
congress.
The legislative action, by which the
army appropriation bill was amended
to provide for a consolidation OF the
several warning bureaus in the war de
partment, was an attempt by the
house to wipe out much of the friction
that has existed so long. Whether the
senate will agree to the consolidation
which would make the chief Of stat
of the army, now Gen. Leonard Wood
absolutely supreme, is problematica
