SUGGESTS CREAM GRADING
University Professor Declares Wis
consin Farmers Might Easily
Add Million to Income.

Madison. Over one million dol
lars a year could be added to the
income of Wisconsin dairymen if the
quality of the butter made in this
state were improved enough so as to
bring one cent more per pound than
it now does, says Prof. G.. H. Ben
kendorf of the dairy school of the
University of Wisconsin College of
Agriculture
Better butter will be possible if
better cream can be secured, Prof
Benkendorf contends, and he sug-
gests that the best way to secure
better cream is to have method
of cream grading.
By grading cream according to it's
acid content and butter fat content,
and paying less for cream of high
acid content and low butter fat con-
tent than for cream having large
amount of butter fat and little acid,
the farmers would be encouraged to
produce better cream, Prof. Benken-
dorf believes.

FOR LOWER EXPRESS RATES
Decisions Affecting Wisconsin Com
ing from Interstate Commerce
Commission and State Board.

Madison express rates, are
predicted from two forthcoming de-
cisions, one by the interstate COM
merce commission and the other by
the Wisconsin railroad commission,
1t is believed both will be announced

The complaint of the Merchants
and Manufacturers association of
Milwaukee has been pending before
the state body for two years. II is
directed against all express compan-
les operating in Wisconsin. The de-
cision of the interstate commerce
commission will, it is believed, make
the interstate rates into Wisconsin

will adjust and make reasonable IN
trastate shipments.

the evidence is said to have been OBJ

OF Freedman's friends filed before the
Pardon Board.
The story OF the pursuit of the group
OF criminals who eventually revenged
thmselves on the pursuer. began Dec.
1e. 1910. Freedman was Jewelry
salesman who visited many of the
larger cities of the West. While in st
Louis on that date he learned that GER
tain countrymen of his, Sismund Klein.
Adoiph Klein and a woman named
Mary Langsman, were under arrest
charged by Federal authorities with
being unlawfully within the United
States. The exact charges asserted
that the two men had brought the
woman into the country for an i'm
moral purpose.
Sigmund Klein prevailed on Freed
man to sign for a bond for $1,000. in
company with Horace L. Dyer ST..
Louis attorney. for his (Klein's) ap-
pearance before a Federal grand jury
in the following January. to answer to
the statutory charge. Klein then said
he would go to Chicago TO obtain bonds
for the other two OF the trio. When
the time for the trial approached he
was notified by Freedman to return to
st. Louis and refused. Freedman went
to Chicago to persuade Klein to re-
turn and prevent the forfeiture OF the
bond. Freedman took a letter from
the chief of detectives of ST. Louis to
the chief of detectives of Chicago and
was assigned two detectives from the
TChicago force TO aid him in his appre-
hensIon OF Klein.
Klein was arrested. taken to st
Louis, tried on the white slave"
charge and sentenced to deportation,
meanwhile uttering threats against
Freedman. The alleged white SLAYER
then was taken. to New York by the
Federal authorities, put on board q
steamship for deportation and escaped
from the ship. re-entering the United
States by way of Canada.
Klein made his way again to Chi
