KEEPS UNIVERSITY
IN REGENTS HANDS
GOVERNOR vEToES BILL PRovID-
ING FOR AN OFFICIAL
BOARD OF VISITORS.
POWER TO PROBE is DENIED
Measure Had Endorsement of High
University Men and Alumni and Al
most Unanimous Support of Lesisla-
ture-McGovern Uphoids Regents.

Madison.--Gov McGovern has sent
a veto message to the Legislature in
which he gives his reasons for not
signing the Bowe bill providing for
an official board If visitors to the uni
versity.
The bill was drawn by Justice Sic
becker of the Wisconsin supreme
court and had the strong endorsement
OF such university men as Judge E.
Ray Stevens and many others 1t pro-
yided for board of sixteen, four to
be appointed by the governor, four by
the president of the senate four by
the speaker of the assembly and four
by the alumni association of the uni
versity, and as near as possible they
were to reside in each congressional
district of the state The bill gave
powers of investigation and was au-
thorized to make reports to the gov
ernor and legislature.
The governor vetoed the bill on the
ground partly that it gives, in his
opinion, greater power than now pos
sessed by the board of regents in so
far as it permits the taking of testi-
mony under oath and other plenary
rights to examine into conditions at
the university. The bill passed in the
assembly by vote of sixty-seven for
and five against, and in the senate by
unanimous vote, twenty-five sena-
tors voting in favor of the measure.
1t is one of the bills which has been
most vigorously opposed by some of
the regents as well as by the uniyer-
sity authorities from its inception. It's
purpose and design was to create an
official board standing in relationship
to the legislature and executive as
well as to the alumni instead of being,
as now, board merely through its
construction, rejecting the opinions
of the particular regents or university
authorities who had the naming of
the visitors. Gov McGovern takes the
view of the regents and the authori-
ties, that an official board, constituted
by the legislature, the executive and
the alumni, is unnecessary.

The losses at Gettysburg on both
sides were enormous The Union
army lost Generals Zook, Farnsworth,

The third days fight at Gettysburg
was victory for northern arms, but
it was a hard won fight and the oon-

Slight Amendment

Madison.-The Hedding boxing bill,
after another strenuous voyage, finally
passed in the senate by vote of Is to

the measure will go back to the assem-

for signature:
The amendment added by Senator
zophy of West Allis will prohibit the
sale of liquor in buildings where box
ing contests are held before and dur
ing the progress of the exhibitions.
This amendment was carried unani-
mously. The assembly will merely

danger of it not being concurred in.

The camp became surrounded by
fire and the crew fought until it was

boarded logging train, but found the
track afire. Realizing the only hope
of saving the men was to drive
through the flames, the engineer went
ahead on the rickety logging road at
rate of forty miles an hour.
The engineer did not slacken even
when he saw tree had fallen across
the track. Several members of the
crew were unconscious when they got

OWEN EXPLAINS
BAKER STATUTE
THROWS LIGHT ON QUESTION or
SALOONS IN EXCESS OF ONE
no $50 POPULATION.
HAY TRANSFER LOCATIONS
To Hold License Where Number of
Saloons Exceeds Limit, Keeper Must
Have Been in Business July 1, 1907.
or Enter Place Used at That Time.

Madison.-Attorney General w c..
Owen, in ten explanatory paragraphs
on the Baker saloon law, has come
to the rescue of councilmen and at
torneys burdened with the task of
granting licenses under the provi-
sions cf the new statute.
The problem of granting licenses
in communities in which there were
saloons in excess of one to every $50
inhabitants in 1907 is explained by
the attorney general
His deductions are as follows:
Cd A person in the saloon bust
ness July L, 1907. may be continued
to be licensed for such purpose at
the same location
CD If the owner of premises re-
fuses to rent the same for saloon
purposes, then the person engaged
in such business at such place July
/, 1907, may be licensed to run a
saloon at another location.
CD AS long as the owner of prem
ises on which saloon was run July
/, 1907, is willing to rent or himself
use the same for saloon purposes
the lessee cannot be licensed to run
a saloon at location not used for
saloon purposes July L. 1907,
(4) The owner of premises upon
which saloon was run July 1, 1907,
may continue the use of such prem
ises for saloon purposes, running the
saloon himself or renting it to others.
(5) If the saloon was run by a
renter on July /, 1907, and such
renter abandons the saloon business,
the owner of the premises may rent
the same to another who may be
licensed to run a saloon at that place
CD If the owner of a premises
was himself running a saloon July
l, 1907, he may drop out of the bust
ness and lease the premises to an
other who may be licensed to run a
saloon at that location
CD He may likewise convey the
premises to another and the business
may be continued by such greater or
the lessee of such grantee.
go To entitle person to saloon
license where the number of saloons
exceeds the ratio limit, he must
either ca have been in the business
July l, 1907, and continuously ever
since, or (b) be licensed Tor place
used Tor such purposes July 1, 1907.
and continuously ever since.
90 When a location used for sa-
loon purposes July 1, 1907, has been
abandoned for such purposes, the
privilege secured to it by section
1860 is forfeited
Likewise, when a person in the sa-
loon business July 1, 1907, drops out
of such business. he forfeits the
right secured to him by said section
(10) When a municipality votes
eve" after having been dry" nc
more than one saloon to each ESQ
population may be licensed.

divided in strength
IN June. 1863, General Robert E
Lee began to move northward. Lee
concentrated his army at Winchester.
Va, and then started for the Potomac
river, which he crossed to reach the
state OF Maryland. He fully expected
to be followed by General Hooker's
army and so General Stuart with a
large force of cavalry was ordered by
Lee to keep in front of Hooker's army
and to check his pursuit of the Con-
federates If 1t was attempted
Late in June the Confederate force
reached Hagerstown, in the state, of
Maryland. 1t was General Lees in
tention to strike Harrisburg, Pa,
which was a great railroad center
and city where Union armies were
recruited and from which all kinds of
supplies were sent out to the soldiers
in the field. While the Southern COM
mander was on his way with a large
part of his force to the Pennsylvania
capital another part of his command
was ordered to make it's way into the
Susquehanna Valley through the town
of Gettysburg and then to turn In It's
course after destroying railroads and
gathering in supplies, and to meet the
Confederate commander with the main
army at Harrisburg.
1t was General Jubal A. Early of
General Lees command, who reached
Gettysburg after long hard march
on June &c. From there he went to
the town of York and from thence to
Wrightsville. At this place he was
ordered by General Lee to retrace his
steps and to bring his detachment
back to a camp near Gettysburg

burg he found the entire Southern
force was camped within easy strik-
ing distance of the now historic town.
In the meantime things were hap
pening elsewhere. General Hooker
in command of the Union army which
had been depleted at Charlottesville
had succeeded in out-maneuvering
General Stuart in command of Lees
cavalry, had got around Stuart's COM
mand in way to prevent the South
ern general from forming junction
with the forces of his chief comman-
der. Lee gave over the proposed
movement on Harrisburg when he
heard of Hooker's approach and
brought the different parts of his
army together.
Four days before the Gettysburg
fight began General Hooker resigned
as commander of the Union army
Hooker and General Hallock dis
agreed upon matter concerning
which strategists today say that Gen.
eral Hooker was right. Three days
before the battle began, thatNs, June
%, 1868, General George Gordan
Meade was named as General Hook
