Madison.-The contest in the pres

tory for Senator La Toilette over

Speaker Clark in the democratic pri-

was the first time it had been tried
in the state and was watched with
much interest. From the reports re-

vote was cast in both the republican
and democratic primaries.
The fight on the democratic side
was hotter than that on the repub-
lican side. From the latest returns
received the indications are that Will
son will have at least twenty-five out
of the twenty-six delegates. The two
Clark delegates in the second dis
trict are probably elected though

The dead man is Rufus Phoenix,

NEW WOOL MEASURE
Is PASSED BY HOUSE
Democrats Push Bill THROUGH With
Aid of Republican Prcgressives by
Vote of 189 to 90.
y1Iro OEAES OREIcERy

Washington The Democratic
bill reducing the tariff duties on
wool, wool clothing, carpets and other
products was passed by the house of
representatives, 1S9 to 90. The meas
ure is identical with the Underwood
bill passed by the house last session
and the Democratic majority preserved
it intact from amendment by the Re
publicans in putting it through the
house.
Twenty Republican insurgents voted
with the Democrats on the final pas
sage of the measure, and one Demo
crat, Representative Francis, from the
wool-growing state of Ohio. voted
against his party's bill.
Spirited partisan debate preceded
the passage of the bill. Representa-
tive Payne, author of the present tar
if, attacked the Democratic measure
on the ground that it did not agree
with the report Of the tariff board.
Representatives Randell Of Texas and
Kitchin of North Carolina, Democrats.
earnestly defended the bill and scored
the report Of the tariff board as value
less.
The Underwood bill places a 20 per
cent ad valorem duty on raw wool and
reduces the existing duties on manu-
featured wool from so to so per cent
with an average reduction.

John L. Whitman superintendent
of the bridewelI, Chicago, addressed
the commonwealth class of the First
Congregations church of Wilmette on
Modern Methods of Dealing With the
Criminal Classes" Ten years ago."
said Mr.. Whitman, ut was the Gus
tom to make the prisoners submit to
punishment in order to make them
obey Now this method is seldom
used Our practice is to bring about
discipline by trusting the prisoners
and letting them feel that we really
do trust them. We have found this
to work splendidly. One of the great
est aids in carrying out this method
at the bridewell is the new dollhouse.
In this dollhouse every cell has win
dow which is not barred. / think
there is no other prison in the United
States where the windows to the cells
are not barred We have not had a
single instance where prisoner has
tried TO escape"
