BROKER COMMITS SUICIDE
Circumstances Surrounding Death OF
Edward j. DwYer Are Puzzle
to the Police.

Janesville.-E. j. Dryer, a men,
Der of the Chicago board of trade
ten years ago, was found dead in the
rear OF a freight house. A bullet
wound and other circumstances indi-
Gated that he had taken his own life.
This theory is strengthened by
story told here by James Schaller,
jockey, who said he had taken din
ner with Dwyer in a Chicago cafe.
"Dwyer spent his money freely al
though / never knew him to plunge
on horse race. He must have spent
the most of $50 on the dinner and
wine he bought when I was his guest.
He remarked to me that his money
was all gone, that he was through
and that he was going to Wisconsin
to make an end of it"
When Dryers body was found
there was only twelve cents in his
pockets. A few years ago he could
draw his check for thousands Of dol
lars. The corpse was found in sit
ting posture with back and head
against the screen door and was first
noticed by Mrs. Artlip, mistress OF
the house. as she opened the back
door.
Thinking that it was merely a
drunken man on the steps she tele-
phoned one of the boarders to see
that he was removed. On his arrival
in response to her call he at once no.
ticed that the supposed drunken man
was corpse. Blood was despatched
over his neck cloth and clothes, from
a wound in his face, and between his
outstretched legs was pool of con-
gealed blood.

BISHOPS DEATH MASK MADE
Cast from Features of Late Fond du
Lac Prelate to Be Used as
Model for Crypt.

Fond du Lac.-A cast from the
death mask made of Bishop Grafton,
has been successfully struck. The
model represents an accurate i'm
preston of the prelate's features,
showing the strong lines of his coun-
tenance, and the impressive forehead.
The cast shows the bishop to have
wasted considerably because of his
long illness and confinement Like
In death the face appears thin and
the lines more sharply drawn than
they were when the bishop was in
health
just what will be done with the
cast is not known, however, it is
likely to be used as model for the

Pahl's cathedral year hence. The
plan, it is said, is to fashion the cover
of the crypt into recumbent statue

Madison.-B. H. Meyer, member OF

held a conference here with repre-
sentatives of the Wisconsin Millers'
association on the question of modi-
flying the commissions regulations
regarding the privilege Of milling
grain in transit. Under the regula-
tions of the commission the millers
are compelled to pay what they con-
slider too high charge for the priv
i1ege Of stopping grain for milling
and then reshipping it in milled
form. Commissioner Meyer said he
would submit the matter to the full
commission when he reached Wash
ington. The millers were represent

Madison.-The election of unsal-

the appointment by such boards of

in an announcement issued by the
state board of public affairs. After
close examination of the rural schools
for the past six months by compe-

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
have 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

provide for the stable character of
the board it is suggested that one
The first board would choose by lot
which of its members should serve
for two, four and six years respec-

Among the most important duties
of this county board of education
would be the appointment of the
county superintendent from an ap.
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

Detective Leaves for halY TO Bring
Sack Suspected Murderer Re-

Milwaukee.-The necessary reQui-
BitiOn papers having been made out.
Edward P. Cunningham. private
detective, left Milwaukee for Italy
to bring back Anthony Borello, al
legged to have murdered John L. Sex
ton of Elkhart Lake, Wis, last June.
Detective Cunningham took up the
hunt and, after being on tAs case
three weeks, secured sufficient evil
dence, it 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 IS
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 a hard
battle that he was taken. His house
had the appearance of an arsenal.
There 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
