URGE SCHOOL LAW CHANGE
ed County Eo rds Would EN-
power SodY to Guide Work.

Madison.-The election of unsal-
the appointment by such boards of
the county superintendent, is favored
In an announcement issued by the
state board OF public affairs. After a
close examination of the rural schools
for the past six months by a compe-
tent force of experienced schoolmen
the board has prepared a series OF
suggested administrative and legis-
lative measures.
These recommendation have been
submitted at various times to Wis
consin schoolmen, school officials and
aaye called forth hearty approval.
County boards of education should
be elected by the direct vote of men
and women at the spring election
says the announcement. The board
would consist of three members. The
terms of Office would be six years. TIC
provide for the stable character OF
the board it is suggested that one
member be elected every two years
The first board would choose by lot
which of its members should serve
for two, four and six years respec-
lively. This board would serve with
out salary.
Among the most important duties
of this county board of education
would be the appointment of the
county superintendent from an APP
proved list made up by the state civil
service commission. Among it's
other powers would be to exercise
general control over the county
schools OF agriculture and the
county training schools for teachers:
to pass upon the Capitalization of
school districts, to advise the super
intendent to withhold state aid from
small and inefficient schools when
ever in its judgment the facts war
rant it and to appoint an assistant to
the county superintendent whenever
the number of teachers in the dis
trict exceed one hundred

detective, left Milwaukee for Italy

ton of Elkhart Lake, Wis, last Jun"
Detective Cunningham took up the
hunt and, after being on the case
three weeks. secured sufficient evil
dence, IL is alleged. to bring about
the arrest OF Borello
All of the evidence collected was
forwarded to Italy. The evidence
was found sufficient to warrant ex-
tradition papers being issued. the
first time Italy having done this for
the state of Wisconsin in forty years.
Borello was captured on farm as
miles from railroad and 200 miles
from Naples, the nearest city. He
was living with his wife and four
children, and It was only after hard
battle that he was taken. His house
had the appearance of an arsenal.
Ihere were guns in every room.
An old fashioned silver watch, in
which the name of the murdered man
was inscribed, was the first evidence
which led to the arrest. This watch,
with $4,000, was taken from the
house on the night of the murder,
and shortly after Cunningham took
charge of the case he found the
watch in a small town on the Mis-
sissippi river, near st. Louis. BY
careful investigation. he found that
the murderer had come to the town
one week after the act was commit
ted and had lived there for some
time. He had left the town, how
ever. two months before Cunning
ham took the case.

MOrenci FLOOD Case
Reversed
Supreme Court Acts in Fa.
vOr of Sufferers From
Broken Dam

1t will be remembered that on
the night of December 3, 1905,
that the tailings dam of the De-
troit Copper Co. broke, sending
terrific flood down Chase Creek
at Clifton, drowning several peo-
pie and doing about 5000, 0OO
worth of damage.
1t was during a terrific rain
storm, and the creek was carry
ing a large volume of water be-
fore the dam broke. When this
water struck Clifton it swept
everything before it.
An effort was made, by the
flood sufferers to get the company
to settle without suit. This
was refused. Then the suit was
begun by 63 people for damages,
aggregating 5000, 900. Suit was
brought in the district court at
Solomonville, but the company
succeeded in getting a change of
venue to Tucson.
The case was finally tried by a
jury, lasting for six weeks. The
jury brought in a verdict in favor
of the plaintiffs, but Judge Camp
bell set the verdict. aside, which
left all the plaintiffs poorer than
when they started in.
The case was brought in the
name of Ivan Hoefeldt as a test
case for the other 62 defendants.
An appeal was taken to the su-
preme court and the action of
the lower court was affirmed and
all the cases ordered dismissed.
w. A. Pitt was not satisfied to
have his property destroyed and
make no effort to recover damag-
es, therefore in 1910 he induced
nineteen of the flood sufferers to
join him in another effort to COL
lect damages. He has pounded
away ever since and has been re-
warded by the information that
the case was taken up by the
present supreme court, setting
aside the former decision, which
means that these people will get
the amount sued for, about $60. :
