for calling constitutional convention
IS the number of constitutional amend
ments offered at each session of the
legislature. During the session of
1909 there were twenty weight amend
ments to the constitution proposed;
during the 1911 session ffty-three
were proposed, and at the
present session twelve amendments
have been proposed in the senate and
twenty-one in the assembly, making a
total of thirty three. If the joint reso-
luton proposing the calling of a con
stitutional convention passes this ses-
sion, the question of calling the con
vention will be submitted to the peo-
pie at the next general election, where
the people will have the final say by a
eyes or "no' vote.
This legislature has also ratified the
to the United States con-
stitution providing for the election of
United States senators by direct
vote of the people

MORE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Voters to Decide Whether or not the
Referendum and Recall Shall be Part
of State Constitution Home Rule for
Cities to Popular Vote.

Several amendments to the state
constitution will IN all probability be
submitted to the people for their APP
proval at the next general election.
Under the constitution all amendments
have to pass two sessions of the legis-
lature and be ratified by the people
before they become effective. The
amendments referred to were passed
at the 1911 session, and most of them
have already passed this session, with
little doubt about the rest passing, as
they are being advanced with little or
no opposition.
Among the amendments to be re-
ferred to the people at the next gen.
eral election is recall of public officers
by the people. Another of Importance
is the proposition providing an easier
means Of amending the state consti-
tuition, SO that proposed amendment,
by passing both houses of the legis,
lature by a three-ffths vote, shall go
straight to the people for ratification
without waiting two years. Other
amendments relate to acquisition of
land by municipalities, permitting
cities and villages to amend their own
charters, state insurance and circuit
judges.
The amendment proposition to raise
the salaries of members of the legis-
lature from $500 per session to $500
per year will also undoubtedly be sub
mitted. The Rosa amendment provid-
ing for the initiative and referendum
by the people is among the important
and constitutional amendments.
Some important amendments to the
state constitution will first pass this
session Of the Legislature to be submit
ted to the people later. One is the
Nye amendment providing that the
state may pledge its credit to raise
funds to loan on agricultural land to
promote agriculture, otherwise known
as state loans to farmers. :
The question Of calling a convention
for the purpose of altering the state
constitution is thought by many to
be in shape to be advanced at this
session. It appears that the motive

Mrs. Margaret Weyman who
Attempted Suicide Is
Sent to Mendoza.
JUDGE HOLDS COURT SUNDAY

Judge George w. Taylor presided
over an extraordinary session of the
county court on Sunday morning at
which time Mrs. Margaret Weyman, SO
years of age and well known to many
people Of the north side, was adjudicat-
ed insane and committed to the state
hospital at Mendoza.
On the night before the session Mrs.
Weyman is alleged to have attempted
to commit suicide by hacking her throat
with pair of scissors. She was not
seriously injured in the suicidal attempt
but her condition was such that mem
bers of the family feared that another
attempt might prove more successful
When the bed which was used by Mrs.
Weyman was searched a razor and
the bloody scissors were found.
Mrs. Weyman has been suffering from
delusions for the past six weeks but
the relatives and friends did not think
that her condition was such that she
should be confined. The unfortunate
woman was formerly. in charge Of a
boarding house on the north side and
she was married about year ago. 1t
is declared that shortly after her mar
riage she began to show signs of failing
mentally. On Saturday her condition
became such that her relatives feared
for her.
On Saturday afternoon Judge Taylor
issued compliment for Mrs. Herman
Writ residing at S11 Edwards street
Mrs. Writ has been suffering from a
religious mania for some time. She was
also taken to the state hospital at
Mendoza.
Officials about the county court have
commented on the large increase of in
sane cases in the court during the past
two months. In this time six patients
have been sent to the various institu-
tions in the state as insane. In several
Of the cases the patients have been
violent and have shown indications of
a homicidal or suicidal nature.

LOOK INTO BEARD CASE.
District Attorney Making Careful In
vestigation of Record of Italian.

sSOcAS 0oAOA VI 4eCSo4u VI LGcAAeA.
Jerry Beard, held at the city lookup
on charges of sending a threatening
letter to former Alderman Albert Con-
forti, is defiant and he has refused to
make any statement to the district at
torney and the police further than to
declare that he had nothing to do with
the writing of the letter. AS result
of the story told by Charles Hackley,
the negro arrested with Beard, it is
pretty certain that further arrests
will be made and the net that is being
woven by the district attorney may in
clude at least one Of the best known
Italians in the city. 1t is possible that
Beard will be held on another charge
pending the investigation as on Satur-
day he was identified as the man who
had robbed a woman on the west side
some six weeks ago.

Milwaukee Company Gets a
Contract for Work in Ke-
nosha and Waukegan.
GOVERNMENT ExPENOSs8,oO0

The Arthur Vogel Dredging Com
pany of Milwaukee, Saturday after
noon, May II, was awarded the con-
tract at Milwaukee for dredging the
Waukegan and Kenosha harbors to
desired depth, upon their bid of
twenty-five cents yard.
In Waukegan it is estimated there
will be $4,000 yards of excavation, and
in Kenosha there will $4,000 yards.
The Waukegan contract thus is 81, $40,
while the Kenosha contract is $1,000.
The other bidders on the work were !:
Grieling Brothers, Green Bay, Wis,
twenty-three cents yard; Great Lakes
Dredging and Dock Company, 24A
cents a yard.
The bidder who obtained the con-
tracts informed the government engi-
neer at Milwaukee that he would have
his dredges at work in Waukegan and
Kenosha harbors early next week and
that work will be rushed. Two scows
will accompany the dredge to each
city, also tug.
The dredging in both Waukegan and
Kenosha harbor will make the channel
which is to be cleared twenty-one
feet deep.
The dredging will be directed upon
two shoals which lie between the two
piers of the harbors not far from the
outer end of the piers. That The har.
bors are in fairly good shape is evil
dent from the fact that not more ex-
cavation is necessary this season than
has been contracted for at this time.

Kenosha is known to have the prob
lem of clarifying and purifying its
water supply under serious considera-
ton and all sorts of processes and de-
vices for accomplishing that very de-
sirable end will be submitted by their
proprietors or inventors from time to
time. The trouble with most of them
is that the cost of operation is prac-
tically prohibitive. If necessary the
city could submit to doubling of the
water rates without, working any very
great hardship on any one, but it does
not propose to accept any plan for
water publication that will require
such a sacrifice until it is convinced
that there is no other way to get the
desired results.
