Senate Committee Recommends Cor

Madison.-The senate has passed
the Linley bill, which provides for the
creating of a commission to investi-
gate the white slave traffic. and the
social evil in Wisconsin The COM
mlttee is to consist of six senators and
three assemblymen. They will have
power to summon witnesses and COM
pei them to testify. They will report
at the next meeting of the legislature
on their findings. Six days before the
next session of the legislature they
are to have 10000 copies of their re-
port printed and circulated through
the state. The bill carries an appro-
priation of $4,000 to defray expenses
The senate committee, with only
one dissenting vote, decided to recon-
ment for passage the Gorecki bill pro-
h1biting the selling or the giving away
under any pretext, of liquor in a pa
rochial school hall. The bill passed
the assembly. This decision was some
what of a surprise as the committee
seemed inclined to follow the sugges-
lions of those who felt that to prohibit
the giving away of liquor in the parish
school halls prevented school and
church officials from having a social
time in their own school halls.

ANTI DISCRIMINATION WINS
Hull Bill Receives Final Action and
Goes to Governor-Spring Pri-
mary Measure Killed.

Madison.-Final legislative action
has been given the Hull anti-discrim-

to the governor for his signature.
The assembly accepted the senate
amendment to the bill which provides
that all prosecutions under the bill
be under the direction of the attor-
ney general. The Hull bill is a strong
measure and provides that no person
or corporation shall buy or sell com
modities more cheaply at one point
in the state than it does at another.
1t is believed the governor will sign
the bill.
The assembly indefinitely postpon-
ed the Rosa bill changing the primary
election from September until the

pressed itself as opposed to pension

More people go to Monte Carlo than ever
there did before There is more play, and conse-

that roulette is now being played by the public

it follows that there is more silver seen on the
tables than formerly when it was all gold aud

Utilizing Diamonds.

The greatest scientist, Sir William
Crookes, has discovered that dia-
monds imbedded in radium bromide
become affected by what is known as
radio-activity, which means that ema-
nations of powerful influence go out
from the diamond This change is
shown by the fact that a pure white
diamond, subjected to the radium,
takes on a beautiful color without re-
ducing its briliiance.
But the most important fact con-
nected with this change in the nature
of the diamond is that it becomes a
remedial agent, and brought into
contact with divers maladies will tend
TO cure them or reduce their violence
Radium is especially effective in neu-
ralgic cases, and hence hereafter.

MORE ARGUMENT
EkERN CASE ASKED
REHEARiNG I'M CONTROVERSY Is
ORDERED BY THE STATE
SUPREME COURT.
REHEARiNG SET FOR MAY Is
NOW Believed That Final Decision Will
Be Handed Down About June 1st,
Settling Title to Office and Other
Points in Controversy.

Madison.-A decision in the McGov-
ern-Ekern controversy may not be
handed down by the state Supreme
court before the last of May or the first
OF June. The court has issued an or
der for the reargument of the follow
ing questions:
Question l. Section go of the stat
utes which says that due process of
the law as guaranteed by the constit-
ution, be pursued in removing an offic-
er.
Question >. Does due process of the
law in such a case entitle the officer
attempted to be removed to a reason
able notice of the hearing and of the
particular charge, a reasonable oppor-
tunity to be heard in person and by
counsel, to know the adverse evidence
to be considered, a right to cross-ex-
anime the opposing witnesses and pre-
sent all material evidence in his own
behalf2
Question g. If an order for the re-
moval of an officer charged in such
proceeding without according these
privileges to him is it valid?
Question 4. Is it a jurisdictional re
quirement of an order under the re
moval statute that it be based on evi
dence, taken according to the essen
tials of due process of law, which in
some reasonable view sustain the
charges against the person accused
which will warrant his removal and il
so was such a case made as to Mr.
Ekern?
Argument on these questions viii be
heard on May Is.
The general feeling among attorneys
who have read the questions is that
| they mean the court will decide all the
questions involved in the case, includ
ing the title to the office, instead OF
| combining itself to the mere injunction
suit. This is what Mr.. Ekern's at
torneys asked in the former argu,
ments
The call for new arguments was hail
ed with rejoicing in the Ekern camp
| 1t was accepted there that the ques
lions indicated that the question OF
title to the Office of insurance commits
sioner was to be tried along with the
other question
The governors friends were not SC
! jubilant, but expressed themselves as
satisfied if the validity of Gov. Nc
Governs action was to be taken UP
now when the whole question would
| be settled.

tries which state monopolies entailed.
The rock which the Casino is built for
merly called by the Monagasques, natives, the
'Plain of the Robbers" and here the system of
plumber is still carried on, though in manner
more consistent with modern ideas
When first built the Casino contained none Of
the art treasures the mirrors and the gliding
that ornament the building of today, and consist
ed solely Of the atrium, gambling room, and q
reading room. In order to people this arid deS-
ert those employed to exploit the Casino actually
offered free land to anyone who would build
villas or hotels thereon. but the offer refused;
and the land once to be had for nothing is to-
day Of priceless value. The gambling and con-
cert rooms of the Casino are marvels of profuse
decoration and the concert room is remarkable
for its painted ceiling which is the work of four
celebrated painters.
Access is easily obtained to the gambling
looms. All you have TO do is to present your
visiting card at one counter, when the clerk hands
you the necessary permit which passes you
through The same formality has to be gone
through with every time you enter. There are
now twelve roulette tables in full swing, and
any time Of the day almost anywhere from
score to fifty people may be seen at each. The
only other game played at Monte Carlo is trent-et-
Quarante a card game.
Everyone has heard of the game OF roulette
which consists of the spinning of a wheel in
tray and the sending of white marble ball in
the opposite direction. The tray is numbered
to 36 and O. and the winning number is that In
which the ball finally rests. If you back the win
ming number you receive thirty-fye times your
stake. Or you can back two numbers, and II one
turns up you receive seventeen times your stake
and so on. The smallest coin you can put down
is five francs the limit being $1,000.
Obviously. the chances are thirty-six to one
against any single number turning up. So none
but the reckless gambler takes one number at a
time. He backs twelve. or takes evens-namely,
places his money red or black, or on the num-
bers below Is or above IS He endeavors 20
