DIETz APPEAL LOST
IN SUPREME COURT
New Trial Is Denied Cameron
Dam Defender.
MUST SPEND LIFE IN PRISON
Court Holds That Overwhelming Evil
oence Leaves No Room for Specu-
IatiOn as to GuHt-Dletz Shocked
by Unfavorable Verdict.

Madison. - The state supreme
court has affirmed the decision of
the lower court and denied the APP
peal of John F. Dietz, the outlaw Of
Cameron dam fame, for a new trial.
Dietz is now serving a life sen
tence in the state penitentiary for the
murder of Deputy Sheriff Oscar Harp
at the Dietz home in Sawyer county
on Oct s, 1910. At the time of
the murder Harp attempted to serve
a warrant on Dietz, who had barri-
caded himself and family in the
house and barn and defed the sher-
ifs posse. The outlaw was taken
several days later, and on March IS,
1911, was convicted Of the murder of
Harp and sentenced 20 life imprisOn-
ment. His wife aud son, Leslie, who
were tried on the same charge, We're
acquitted
The decision, which was wired to
the dam defender at Waupun imme-
diately after its announcement, was
a severe shock to the prisoner. Dietz
had conidentially expected a favor
able verdict and all details for his
immediate release pending the new
trial had been completed. Mrs. Dietz
and the family, now of Mayville, had
planned to meet their husband and
father at the prison gates and ac-
company him to Hayward, where ar
rangement had been made for bail.
Unless the case is appealed to the
federal courts, which is not improb-
able, Dietz must serve his sentence.

SAYS MEAT INSPECTION
In NEW YORK 4 JOKE
Ex-Inspector Testifies Rbattoir Owners
Fail to Comply With Health or
Sanitary Regulations.

Washington, May II DR. John A
Laddey. a former government meat in
spector who testified before the house
committee investigating the meat in
spector service Of the United States,
on Monday, prefaced his testimony on
Wednesday by this statement:
There is not one Of the twenty or
more packing houses in New York that
complies with the federal sanitary reg
ulations. there is not one which slaugh-
tiers meat-producing animals in a man
ner intended to best safeguard the pub
lie health, there is not one that gen
timely exhibits respect for an in
spector's orders when he attempts TO
remedy conditions, nor one that would
not permit worse conditions to exist
were 1t not for the weak, restraining
hand which the federal authorities
now place upon them
Laddey's testimony resolved itself
into the most startling revelations of
the abuses in the meat inspection serv-
Ice and Of the utter disregard of health
and sanitation that has yet been pro-
duced.
1 know as a fact" declared Doctor
Laddey, that whenever the packers
object to some ruling or regulation in
the meat inspection service, all that is
necessary to have it changed as they
wish is visit to Washington. This
is common gossip from the incense
quential employe Of a packing house
to those in authority. Their attitude
toward an inspector is one of super
huous contempt. The majority Of an
inspectors condemnation rulings are
reversed by his superiors"
This conditions, he said, led him to
tender his resignation.
4 felt that I could not longer re
main a government meat inspector
and retain my seIf-respect," said Doc
tor Laddey.
According to J. w. Burroughs, who
was formerly an inspector of meat IN
der the jurisdiction Of the department
of agriculture and who gave testimony
before the house committee Monday
on expenditures in that department,
the standard of meat inspection had
gone lower every year since the pres
ent law went into effect in 1906
At the present time, according to
the witness, conscientious inspectors
regard their presence in packing
houses as something merely perfume
tory.

MEMORIAL DAY EDICT
ANNUAL PROCLAMATION ISSUED
BY GOV. MGOVEEN.
Wisconsin Executive Urges a Wide
Observance of Festival in Honor
of the Nations Dead.

Madison.-The formal proclama-
ton of Gov. Francis E. McGoyern.
designating May 80 as Memorial day
throughout the state of Wisconsin,
has been issued. The text OF the
proclamation follows:
Half a century ago our country
was engaged in a most desperate
struggle to preserve its integrity and
to maintain its place among the ma
lions of the earth. Nearly three mil
lion men in the strength of early man
hood and in the prime of life Of
fered their services in her defense
Within four years one out of every
six of these found a grave in the
south or returned only to be laid to
rest in the quiet Of Gods acre on
the hillsides and praries of the north.
For fifty years, since the warfare
ceased, the grand army Of the dead
has been constantly recruiting from
the grand army of the living. until
now but few remain personally to
remind US of the heroism of that
crisis.
1T is most fitting that the living
who inherit the glory and reap the
rich rewards such warfare has
wrought shall devote one day each
year to honor the memory of those
who have answered the last roll call.
But as the nation mourns its s :
der and sailor dead, families, too,
mourn loved ones, gone never to re
turn. While veterans plant the flag
of our country on the graves of their
comrades and children bring their of
fering of flowers, it is a fitting time
for families also to visit the last rest
ing place of their departed and Of
fer tokens of their affection for
them.
in accord, therefore, with the
long established and commendable
usage, I, Francis E. McGovern, gov
ernor of the state OF Wisconsin, here
by designate and appoint Thursday,
May 80, 1912, as Memorial day, and
1 earnestly recommend that every
citizen of the state give his assist
ance and encouragement in making
its observation worthy of the occa-
sion and in keeping with the exalted
sentiments and sacred recoIIections

GREAT CHECK TO AVIATION
Flying IN America Is Injured by sensa-
tionsi Experiments That often
Are Disastrous.

Aviation has been very slow in TAX
ing hold in this country. While abroad
The number of machines demanded by
The constantly growing corps Of avia-
tors taxes the capacity. Of the many
manufacturing plants in France, Eng
land and Germany, there is not busis
ness enough in the United States to
keep our concerns, few in number
though they be, in fun activity.
For this undeniable state Of affairs
there is a reason, and the fancy and
exhibition fights Of American aviators,
So widely advertised, must bear a
large part of the burden. Aeroplanes
viii never become popular for general
pleasure travel until it has been dem
onstrated that they can be operated
with comparative safety.
Far from advancing the cause Of
aviation, as has been often stated by
those unfamiliar with the situation,
such exploits, 70 instance. as those OF
Lincoln Beachey last January at Los
Angeles, and previous to that at Mag
ara Falls, tend to terrify the ordinary
mind and lead it to believe that the
perils thus encountered are insepaTa-
bic from the aeropIane.
Then when disaster. comes, as it IS
bound to come, and another aviator is
added to the death roll. the sensa-
tional press finds still further opportu-
nifty to scare off those who might 9th
erwise be enjoying fight.
Aviation as a popular means Of
amusement seems now to be a GER
tainty-sOme time. But sensational
flying only tends to hold back this
final contamination. In time this
handicap can be overcome, because
the demand for exhibition work is
growing less and less all the time, and
the circus" type of operator will be
forced to turn to more lucrative fields
for exploitation.
Already, however, sensible aviators
realize in what direction the real fu-
ture of aerolocomotion lies. and are
doing their best to impress the fact on
the more reckless and less intelligent
of their brethren.
Today we have machines which are
suitable for aerial travel in this coun-
try. Once let the fact that they can
be operated without undue risk be
proved, and there will be no lack of
men TO man them.-BostOn Transcript

declared that the Erie Railroad com
pany was SO anxious to please Rob

10000 tons of coal
