claim is for raising the house and fill
ing up the grounds. The claim will

$l.697,447


The same year there was given to
the legislature as basis for appro--
lpriation, an enrolment Of 4,947 stu
dents. Analysed, however, it appears
that of this number, TAI attended the
summer school only, and sci the short
course only, so that the net attendance
for 1909 and 1910 was 3,645, and at
no time were there actually more than
that number enrolled.
The university payroll for February,
1910, according to the secretary of
state, shows teachers and librarians.
374; assistants, 122; fellows and schol-
ars, 20; clerks, stenographers, engi-

total Of 1928.
Mr.. Barber finds there is one en-
ploye to every four students. The
standards of universities in other
states range from one to twenty-six
| In Iowa, down to one to fourteen and
fifteen in Minnesota and Michigan.
Again the gross cost per student in
the Wisconsin university is way above
that of neighboring institutions. 1t is
$40 in Wisconsin against $2S2 in
Minnesota, $40 in Iowa and $3.50 in
Illinois. 1t costs more to run the
Wisconsin university today than it did
the entire state government not many
years ago. The salaries of the faculty
alone in 1909 and 1910 amounted To
nearly 100000, while the expenses Of
the president, OF the regents, salaries
of clerks and stenographers reached
in round numbers the sum of $4,000
Travelling expenses alone were $4,000.
One of the most expensive features
Of the university is the fact that a
large number Of aliens and non-resi-
dents are being educated there at a
burdensome cost to the people of the
state. The number in 1909 and 1910
is given as SS7, but in reality it is
much greater as many registering
from Madison are non-residents. In
1911 Mr.. Hull stated on the floor of
the assembly that the number was

TOO MUCH POLITICS THERE
Man Who Has Made Extensive Study
of States Great University Points
Out Leaks Which Prove Costly to the
People of the State.

With the rapid increase in taxation
under the so-called reform administra-
tions in Wisconsin and the enactment
Of new and unpopular forms Of taxa
ton to help pay for reforms in
creased attention is being directed to-
ward the University of Wisconsin, at
whose door is laid the responsibility
for a great part of the heavy burden
now being shouldered by the taxpay-
er. Under such circumstances facts
and figures, accurate, ungarbled, and
complete, presented without the I'M
reasoning prejudice which has char
acterized so much criticism of the uni
yelsity is of great value to the friends
of the institution as well as to those
who must pay the bills. The article
published by Hon. Charles Barber in
the May number of "The Search
light, I" and previously in the Oshkosh
Northwestern is of this character.
Mr.. Barber in opening his article
disclaims any prejudice, one Of his
daughters having graduated from the
institution, and he was once served
as a member Of the board of visitors.
The university's faults, he declares,
are those of management, and most
prominent among these is the fact
that it is costing the state too much;
it is extravaganza, and to a certain ex-
tend irresponsible and that in dealing
with tax payers in money matters it
does not act fairly or honestly. 1t is
openly charged that the figures as to
the cost of operating the institution
are juggled and that President Van
Hise has one set of figures for the
legislature when he asks for appro-
priations, and another set Of figures in
his report to the United States Com
missioner of Education.
The receipts Of the university
from all sources for 1909 and 1910
were given by the regents themselves
as $l,740, 243.64. The total income of
the university for 1909 and 1910 has
been figured as follows:

KILLING 81 PEOPLE
And over 90 WERE INJURED
AT SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS,
MONDAY MORNING.
union Men Blamed-Poured Cold
Water in Hot Boiler - Locomotive
Was a New One, Being Inspected
Some Human Remains Can Never Be
Identifed-Disaster Freaks.

San Antonio, Texas.-At least 80
men were killed and parts of their
bodies strewn for blocks when a big
passenger locomotive in the Southern
Pacific shops blew up here, Monday.
The locomotive stood in a square for
ward by the cooper house, blacksmith
shop and roundhouse, all of which were
wrecked.
A part of the locomotive crashed in
to a house several blocks away and seri-
ously hurt a woman.
Twenty of the bodies have been
identified, but what is believed to be
~ more is little more than a tangled
mass of fragments of human flesh and
bones. that probably never will be sep
arated.
These fragments were found jammed
into crevices about the wrecked build
ipgs, in the street, and entangled in the
shops.
Strikebreakers Were In Charge
The shops have been manned for sew
eral weeks by strikebreakers imported
when shopmen of the Hartman lines
went out. 1t is believed most of the
killed are from the north and east.
Due to Carelessness.
1t is believed the explosion was
caused by carelessness of some one, al
lowing cold water to flow into the hot
boiler of the locomotive. The loco
motive was nearly new and was in the
shops for inspection. 1t was of the
large Mogul type. Besides the 80 be-
lieved to have been killed, so persons
were injured. These for the most part
were in remote sections of the build
ings wrecked, for those close to the To-
comotive or in the main parts of the
building either were killed by the blast
or crushed by falling material when the
buildings crumbled. The monetary loss
will be about 100000.
Freaks of the terrific impact were
many, but one of the most strange was
that the driving wheels were not dam
aged, while parts of the huge locomo
tive were hurled blocks. The large
wheels apparently did not bulge.
