WILL MEET TODAY
IN DELIVERY FIGHT
Counsel For Two Trade Bodies
to Go Over Ground in Case
Against Railroads.

An important meeting Of counsel for
the Chamber Of Commerce and the Re-
tail Merchants Association, in connec-
tion with the fight for the continuance
of free delivery of freight, will be held
this afternoon.
1t Is not intended that the basis on
which the fight is to be waged will be
definitely determined at this meeting. as
number of other conferences are like
ly to be held and the case thoroughly
gone over before a decision is reached.
This is the last opportunity the counsel
will have to present Washingtons case.
and they are careful to select the surest
grounds on which to wage the battle.
Chaplin Brown, general counsel for the
Chamber of Commerce. said today that
while the local attorneys would enjoy
fight, they are not waiting on the
Maryland city to act, but will proceed
Independently unless the Baltimoreans
accept the invitation already rendered
them to cooperate with the Washing
ton merchants.
Baltimore Merchants Peeved.
Even II we get together" said Mr..
Brown. 1T is likely there will be GER
tain differences in the conditions of the
two cities that would call for inde-
pendent action, but on the whole l
think II much better for the two cities
to cooperate"
1t Is evident that Baltimore mer-
chants are peeved at Washington be-
cause they have been dragged into
the controversy" They have not even
done the local association the courtesy
to answer tn. invitation to cooper
ate in the fight, although II is still
believed this will be done when they
understand the situation as fully as
the local merchants and realize the
fight can best be made with the two
cities in harmony.
The traffic bureau of the Baltimore
Merchants and Manufacturers Asso-
citation met yesterday afternoon. but
failed to settle on any definite policy
further than to instruct the president
to procure counsel and TO start q
campaign today for a special fund of
$500 with which to wage the legal
fight.
Attorneys Marking Time.
It is asserted Baltimore will lose $3.50
oo0 the first year if the fight is cor
tnued that long. but the local attorneys
believe the Interstate Commerce Com
mission will reach itE decision in few
months at most. Washington's loss is
estimated at about 10000 a year
The matter Tow rests in the hands of
the attorneys, who are marking time
SO far as any definite action is concern
ed, but are making a careful investiga
ton of recent Interstate Commerce
Commission decisions is similar cases
! There are no cases exactly parallel, be-
cause Washington and Baltimore are
! the only two cities in the country which
! have ever enjoyed the free store-door
! delivery service.

DEMOCRATS WORRY
OVER ALABAMA CASE
Senators Advise Governor That
People Must Pick Successor
to Johnston.

The Alabama Senatorial situation has
taken on new complications. Dis
patches from Birmingham say that
Governor O'Neal is seriously consider
ing the appointment OF Congressman
Henry D. Clayton. On the other hand,
Democratic members of the Senate Ju-
dietary Committee. through Senator
Overman. have advised Governor
Neal that he has no power to ap-
point without first securing authority
from the Legislature
\ meeting of the Judiciary Committee
was held yesterday afternoon. Later,
the Democratic members of the COM
mittee conferred with nearly every
Democratic Senator The opinion vas
unanimous that the governor had no
power to appoint.
One suggestion made was that an ef-
fort be made to pair the vote of Sen
ator Johnston, who died recently, with
some Republican. This was not ap-
proved by Republican leaders.
Can Call Special Election.
While the Senators seemed united In
the belief the governor could not ap-
point without authority from the Legis-
lature, there was division of opinion
whether he could call a special cleo
ton. This was summed up by Senator
Overman in the following telegram to
Governor O'NeaI:
BY the new amendment to the Con-
stitution. the governor is charged with
the duty of Issuing writs of election
to fill the vacancy, but has no power
TO fill by appointment until LEGISLATURE
authorizes him to do so. BY subsection
8. section 439, Alabama code, it Is pro-
vided that special elections are to Je
held In cases other than those else
where specified in the section. which
are or NAV be provided by law.
The sections that follow direct that
all special elections shall be held en-
such dates as the governor NAV direct
1t Is the general opinion of the Demo-
cratic lawyers in the Senate that the
governor can call a special election. and
that the candidate elected would be en-
titled to his seat.
However. there is much division of
opinion In the judiciary Committee,
some holding to the opinion that the
governor cannot call an election until
the Legislature has been called Together
ana takes action in this matter
LEE S. OVERMAN."
Reason for Anxiety.
The anxiety manifested among Sem
ate Democrats over the succession TO
Senator Johnston arises from the close
situation as to the tariff bill II is
pointed out that, unless Governor
O'Neal proceeds in a fashion considered
regular bv practically the entire SEN
ate the successor 10 Senator Johnston
will find himself blocked by a contest
which will perhaps not be settled until
after the tariff bill is voted on.

RETURNED FROM AN EXPEDI-
TON.

Aug. Ziebell, one of our old and
reliable cruisers, has recently returned
from a trip to Rattlesnake island, in
Lake Huron, where he went to esti-
mate forest of cedar owned by G. G.
Yawkey of this city. He was accom-
panied by Jack Sullivan. This island
has, some of the finest cedar that can
be found i'm the u. S. or Canada. 1t
is not large island, only about eight
miles long by three miles wide and is
several hundred feet above the water
level. 1t is a rocky formation, the
trees growing up between the crew
ices. The party went up on the island
in May and Mr.. Ziebell says that
although the nights were very cool
there was only one Light in which
there was frost. The season is sew
eral weeks behind ours here as When
he left, the wild cherry and plum
trees were just in blossom. The island
is twenty-five miles from the shore
on one side and about twelve miles on
the other. 1t is rightly named, as
many rattlesnakes were seen and
killed on the trip. Many deer were
seen OH the island.
August said that he made it
point TO get home on the Fourth of
July, as he always observes the day
and cannot doit any where as we'll asat
home.

MUCH GOING ON.

From the Improvements one sees on
Third street it seems as if about every
other establishment was tearing up.
The Mercer block which has been
three stores heretofore will have all
its partitions out and new front
when completed, covering all as cue.
The McCrossen stpres will have new
fronts and a new store arranged in
the back end fronting on Scott street.
The interior will be torn out and re-
modelled, making changes which will
make it very handsome up-to-date
store.
The Nathan Heinemann store build
ing, corner Third and J eff 3rson streets,
formerly occupied by Sell Bros. Hard
ware Company, is being torn to pieces,
in the interior and a new front put
in which will make it q handsome
establishment. Mr.. Heinemann has
had an addition built to this store and
when all is completed it will be COM
modious and in every way as desired
by the large firm which will occupy It.
N. Gender has crew CT men at
work at the Crystal painting and
decorating, putting in partitions,
counters, tables, fixtures, etc. 49,
All these Improvements are going
on with others all on our main street,
and it does make lots of hammering,
plenty of debris and great confusion.

SHADE TREES.

A stranger riding down Grand
avenue the other day remarked that
it ought to be the best paved street
in Wausau because of its length; as it
was there is no paved street in Wau-
sau that was in a worse condition.
The stranger also remarked upon the
lack of shade trees. A portion Of the
avenue is very well shaded with very
pretty trees while much OF the greater
pa.t of the distance between Forest
st. eet and Schotield is as barren of
trees as dessert. 1t is very notice
able and detracts greatly from the
beauty of that popular thoroughfare.
Every property owner along the
avenue, even if he does not care to
have the value Of his property in
creased several hundred per cent,
should have pride enough for his
home city to plant trees This is a
matter which our Civic Improvement
society should look into. Start a
movement to have tree planted every
sixteen feet apart on Grand avenue.

LEGISLATURE.

The marketing commission bill will
probably not be presented in the SEN
ate until Monday night. While the
bill is practically agreed upon in all
its particulars, the legal phrasing of
some of its sections is taking time
and the men who are drafting the
bill desire that it shall be as near per
feet as possible when presented to the
legislature.
The joint resolution for a constitu-
tional amendment TO permit the state
to make an appropriation of over
100000 for the purchase of water
powers was laid on the table. This
was done merely to keep the resolu-
tion before the assembly until a sutfi-
cient attendance is given so the con-
stitutional majority of titGy-one can
be assured for the resolution.
The minimum wage bill in it's pres
ent form giving the industrial COM
mission the power to fix minimum
wage scale in certain prescribed in
duStries will not have much opposi-
tiOn in the senate. 1t will probably
go by the upper house as it did the
lower house, practically unanimously.
There seems to be no opposition to
the bill whatever and it's terms were
practically agreed upon when it was
pending before the assembly COM
mittee on public welfare.
The Heading boxing bill will be
one of the first measures considered
by the governor the last of the week
on his return from Gettysburg. Sew
eral protests have been filed in the
executive chamber against the bill on
the order of the protest of the Trues-
dale Methodist church of Madison
which was read in the assembly just
after that house mad concurred in
the senate amendment to the bill.
1t is. however, understood that the
governor will sign the measure on
the ground that he thinks that box
ing under legalized control is better
than boxing not so controlled.
