THE WIRELESS TREATY

The international wireless treaty re-
sulting from the Berlin convention of
| 1906 has been heard from again in
Washington. AT the Berlin convention
the American delegates took full part
in the proceedings, but because of
their construction Of their authority
under the instructions they did not
sign the agreement made, and further
delay resulted from the senate leaders.
The opposition to the treaty has
came from interests engaged in the
business of selling apparatus for wire
less systems, mainly to private con-
Germs and amateurs.
The American delegates to Berlin
materially assisted in carrying to a
successful issue the following princi-
pies:
"First.-The principle that calls of
ships in distress should have priority
of transmission over all other wireless
messages.
"Sscond.-That coast stations and
seagoing ships installed with wireless
apparatus should be compelled to ac-
cept and practice the principle Of in
accommodation with shore stations
and seagoing ships provided with APP
paratus Of different system.
"Third.-That II was well within the
province OF the international agree
ment to regulate the toll or fare of ex-
change Of radio-telegrams.
"Fourth.-That government business
should have priority of call under GER
tain contingencies. 1t was along hui
manitarian lines that our delegates
commended that ut certain periods Of
edch day the commercial exchange Of
radio-telegrams should cease for brief
intervals In order that shipping on the
high seas might be furnished with
information regarding approaching
storms, position Of floating derelicts,
impairments to important coast lights

COURT DOES NOT
UPHOLD CONTRACT
The Village OF Kilbourn
Must Pay For Light

Among the decisions handed down
by the Wisconsin supreme court was
the following: No. 52. President and
trustees Of the village of Kilbourn. City,

Power company, respondent. Judg-
ment modified by striking therefrom
provision that company recover S1,926
and judgment as so modified aftirm ed.
The court in this case held that the
company canuot furnish the village
with electric light current for nothing.
The lower court held that the contract
between the company and the village
whereby the former agreed to furnish
electric current without cost was void
as being against public policy. The
company counterclaimed for 81, ,92o.O6
for current furnished, which was al
lowed by the lower court. The sup
RENE court disallowed the claim be-
cause the company had failed to COM
ply with the law requiring public
utilities to file schedules with the rail-
way rate commission. The principal
stockholder of the power company is

this juncture the old cur put in his

Sauk County Bear Stories
Two Bears And a Fox
Killed in Greenfield
One Night.
THE FIFTEENTH STORY.

Having been born and raised in
Sank county, think am eligible to

ly. -
The story | am going to relate oc
Cured in the early 70's and by way OF
introduction will introduce Mr.. Gray
Fox who was far more numerous in
those DAYS in Sauk county than Mr..
Bear.
It was Saturday evening in the
month of late September and much
excitement existed among the people
of Fairfield and Greenfield townships
as regarded the presence of bears in
these localities, and even old bear
hunters had some misgivings as to
meeting a bear face to face single
handed. For this reason uncle Joseph
Wilkinson came over 'on this particu-
car evening to get father and myself to
go with him on bear hunt. Both
uncle and father each had team of
dogs. Each team consisted of fox
hound and large cur dog.
When uncle arrived at our place
father and some of the neighb)rs had
already gone hunting, so uncle pro-
posed that | go with him and we
would try and overtake them, think
ing of course that they had gone north
to the Baraboo river bottoms where
bear was reported to be the most
numerous. But we failed to overtake
them for they had gone in an opposite
direction. On reaching the river bot
tom our hound soon took up what
seemed to be very cold coon trail and
uncle stepped aside of an old COW
path and seated himself OH an old log,
myself straddling the path facing
the direction in which we had last
heard the hound give tongue. While
holding these positions we talked of the
chances for raising bear on this
night, when all of a sudden the hound
began giving tongue in most earnest
manner and seemed to be coming
straight to US. SO we kept ghostly
quiet and in less time than it takes to
tell it, almost, we heard something
coming down the cow path as though
he expected to be overtaken at every
lump. Almost before [ was aware OF
what had taken place, Mr.. Gray Fox,
for such it proved to be. had passed
between my legs, the hound pulling
off the same stunt at very short In
terval.
They did not go far, however, until
Mr.. Fox took to ground, and uncle
and | were soon up with them. Uncle
suggested that l cut long pole and
poke it into the hole where Mr.. Fox
had taken refuge and said if could
touch him and there was another
opening aside from where he went in,
