CHARGES LABOR
LAW VIOLATIONS
State Brings Action Against the
Diamond Match Company.
$4,000 IN FINES is ASKED
Act Provides Penalty for Every Day
That Statute Is Not Complied With
and All Claims Are Made One
1919 Ofenses Are Alleged.

Madison.-What is declared to be
the most far-reaching and the most
Significant prosecution ever brought
under the child labor laws of Amer
lea, has been instituted by the state
OF Wisconsin against the Diamond
Match company. Service was secured
on the officials of the companys big
plant AT Oshkosh. The action is to
collect fines aggregating $4,000.
This is the maximum total possible
under the statutes, which provide for
a fine of from $25 to 500 for each
specific violation of the child labor
law. The present suit enumerates
24O specific violations. The states
action is the result of an exhaustive
inquiry made by the industrial COM
mission through it's deputies of num-
erous complaints that the company
was habitually disregarding the stat
ute. The results of the investiga-
ton, according to the commission,
showed violations of law.
According to the commission the
a large number of children between
the ages of IA and 16 years. 1t is
charged that some of these children
We're permitted to work more than
eight hours day; that some were
permitted to work more than forty
eight hours week; that some were
permitted to work before o'clock in
the morning, and that others were
permitted to work after 6 O'Clock in
the evening. The law provides fine
of not less than S25 nor more than
500 for each offense, and the COM
plant treats each days violation as
a separate offense
The suit is brought on the theory
that the company has violated the
law in 1919 instances, and each viola
ton is treated as a separate claim for
the maximum fine of 500. All these
claims are combined in one action,
the cumulative fines reaching a total
of $4,000.

any train whistle for the crossing un-
til within about four rods of the
track, and the train was almost upon
them. Before the horse could be
stopped the animal was upon the
crossing and was struck by a west
bound passenger and literally ground
to pieces.
Miss SchmutZler was struck by the
engine and instantly killed and her
brother, Clarence, was thrown about
fifty feet, receiving serious injuries.
The train was stopped, Mr., Schmutz-
Ter and the remains of his sister put

AUSTRIA GETS BIG LOAN
IN u. S. FOR THE CRISIS
New York Bankers Take $25,oOo, 600
Issue of Treasury Notes De-
spite Threat of War.

London, Dec. IA dispatch from
Vienna announces that the Austrian
government has negotiated with the
National City bank and Kuhn, Loeb
& Co. of New York for an issue of
$25,00O,000 AZ per cent. treasury
bonds which will be taken over at 81
and made redeemable at par at the
expiration of eighteen months and two
years
That the breach between Austria
and Servia is steadily widening
toward the point where ordinary dip
lomatic intercourse must fail to bring
about an understanding is indicated
by several developments today in
both countries.
SerVia, SO far as Austria has been
concerned, has occupied herself main
ly with the task in hand-the Balkan
war-and apparently given little at
tentioE to the loud threats of the Aus
trian foreign Office
During the past week, however, &C.
cording to dispatches from Belgrade,
several private citizens visiting Aus

been arrested for spying and i'll treat
ed even after showing their proper
credentials. These acts have innamed
the Servians, who declare they will
welcome a second war on the heels
of the one they have just fought if
that is the only way to correct the
Austrian attitude.
The statement of the Pravada is re-
garded here as concise expression
Of the Servian irritation. The Pravada
says:
IF Austria desires war with Servia
let it come. 1t will be the most bitter
fight in history. Every Servian, man
and woman, young or old, will take
part in it and Austria will have to
exterminate the entire nation before
conquering it."
The Standard prints Constantine

reached that city to the effect that
the Greeks who landed on the coast
of the Gulf of Saros have been de-
feated by the Turks while endeavor-
ing to march on Gallipoli. They had
previously destroyed a Turkish vii,
lage.

NEED MONEY FOR LEVEE
Commissioner Tells of Progress at
PORTAGE Made Work Safe
for l6-Foot Stage.

Madison.-That the weakest por-
tons of the Portage levee have been
improved to a standard of safety and
other material repairs made at a to-
tai expenditure of $13,S40.62 of the
$4,000 appropriated by the legisla-
ture last May, with work contracted
for that will exhaust the appropria-
ton when done, appears in the re-
port of the state levee commission
made to Gov. McGovern.
The report shows, however, that
before the work can be completed,
further appropriation will be neces-
sary.
The work accomplished is the ac-
tual improvement of a little more
than three miles of levee by raising
the embankment to withstand the
pressure caused by a food register
ing sixteen feet on the government
gauge. The old levee would with
stand the pressure of not more than
thirteen and a half foot stage.
The government levee, which pro-
Portage, as we'll as the entire Fox riv-
er valley, was found to be the most
important as we'll as the weakest le-
wee of the entire system and the
commission decided to concentrate it's
attention upon that work for 1912.

MAY BUILD POWDER PLANT
Whole Township in Remote Section of
Marinette County Reported Sod
to Pont-de-Mours Concern.

Marinette.-It is reported here
that the Peshtigo Lumber company
has sold the township of Peshtigo
Harbor to the du Pointde Mours
Powder company and that this com
pany will build one of the largest
powder plants in the country in this
deserted township.
Peshtigo Harbor was once a thriv-
ing and prosperous community and
was used by the shippers of lumber
as port from which to send out
the product of the many sawmills
OF the vicinity. When the lumber
operations of this part of Wisconsin
and neighboring sections of upper
Michigan were taken to other parts
OF the state the population of the
little town moved elsewhere and
only last week the last resident left
for more thickly populated section.
1t is said to be the intention of
the powder company to seek such
a location as this so that in case of
an explosion that there would be as
little damage as possible
The plant of the company at
Pleasant Prairie exploded last year
and much property of\the surround.
Ing farmers was damaged.

DIE TOGETHER IN WOODS
Shotgun and Poison Bottle Found
Beside Bodies Indicate Either
Murder or Suicide Pact.

Milton Junction.-The finding Of
the bodies of William Kunkel, %
years old, and Mary Figler, 20 years
old, in the woods near this place
leads the authorities to think that
there was suicide pact between
them or that she killed him and then
took her own life.
kunkel, who is a farmer, left his
home, taking his shotgun with him
His continued absence from his home
resulted in a search that ended in the
finding of the bodies three days later
The bodies were lying close together
Kunkel had been shot in the head
but there were no marks on the girls
body. A small bottle found near the
bodies is supposed to have contained
poison. The shotgun, which had
been discharged, was found on the
ground close to KunkeIs body.
The authorities are at a loss for a
motive for the double suicide o. the
murder and suicide, though it is
thought that family troubles might
have caused the act, as Miss Figler
was Kunkel's sister in law. Kunkel
is survived by widow and a two
month-old SON.

SPRING SHOOTING UP AGAIN
Wisconsin Advocates of Second Sea-
son for Ducks Base Their Argu-
ments on the Illinois Law.

Madison.-The Wisconsin Fish and
Game Protective and Propagation
league held a meeting here for dis
cussion of proposed legislation af-
fecting sportsmen. One proposal
certain to come up is an open season
for the shooting of ducks in the
spring, and an open season for the
shooting of quail.
State Game Warden John A. Shots
in an interview prior to the meeting
expressed his opposition to both pro-
posals. Spring shooting of ducks
and quail, he declared, is disastrous
to the full propagation of the birds.
The principal argument of the La
Crosse hunters who favor it, he said,
is the fact that Illinois allows it, and
that the birds flying southwark from
Wisconsin fall prey to Illinois MIN
rods.
Warden Sholts contends that the
preservation of the birds in the
spring means more to hunters in Wis
consin generally than the temporary
qualification of some hunters desire
to shoot.

CITY NEED NOT PAY
STATE LOSES SUIT FOR REFUND
ING OF OLD FINES.
Supreme Court Decides Statute OF
Limitations Applies as in
Private Action.

Madison.-The supreme court has
declared that the statute of limita-
tions applied to state actions as well
as private ones and thereby threw
out the action taken by the state to
recover 100000 from Milwaukee
city and county in delinquent NUM-
cipal court fines which, it is said,
should have been turned into the
state school fund.
The state appealed for fines which
had been collected since 1859 The
court declared that the statute of
limitations Will throw out all actions
except those on fines collected since
Feb. l, 1899. The state will recov-
er about $4,000 on fines collected
since that and which have not been
turned over to the state
The case was an appeal from an
order of Judge Eschweiler of the cir
cult court Of Milwaukee, declaring
that the statute of limitations held.
