w. p. HEMINGWAY is DEAD
Crosse High School Principal
Who Leaves a Will

La Crosse-Whatever may have
been the secret which made a recluse
of w. p. Hemmenway, for twenty
years principal of the La Crosse High
school and identified with local schools
for ten years before that, he took it
to the grave. Dr. Hemmenway, 63
years old, passed away at Minneapolis
and so far as known made no state
ment before his death.
Hemmenway came here in 1877,
when 81 years old. He left in 1907. at
81. During that period he was with
out intimate associates belonged to
no societies, remained in his room
practically all the time he was not at
school. received no letters and wrote
none, except of a business nature,
was a bachelor and had no near rela-
tives of whom anybody here had any
knowledge. He never mentioned his
life prior to coming here and even his
age would be unknown were it not
that he was Obliged to record ii on
his original application for an ap-
pointment
DR.. Hemmenway is believed to have
left a large estate, and considerable
interest attaches to the opening of his
will in the hope that it may shed some
light on the hidden story of his life.

OBJECT TOPIERS IN
BEAVER DAM RIVER
PROTEST OF POWER COMPANY
TO STATE RAILROAD COM
MISSION.
ENGINEER WILL INVE STIGATE
Horizon and MayviiIe Ask the Commits
sion to Stop the Dredging of Rock
River, Claiming 1t Will Be Injurious
to Navigation.

Madison. Whether the Beaver Dam
Realty company of Beaver Dam shall
be allowed to obstruct the navigation
of Beaver Dam river by building piers
in the bed of it and a building over il
at Beaver Dam is an issue that is to
be fought out before the railroad COM
mission and will finally come before
Gov. McGovern for determination.
The question involved is really the
right of individuals to drive piles or
place other distractions in navigable
streams. The situation at Beaver Dam
arises primarily out of the opposition
raised by the Paramount Power &
Realty Co, which has brought a suit
to enjoin the Beaver Dam Realty com
pany from proceeding with the work
of building piers in the bed of the
river for the purpose of constructing
la building thereon. Pending a deter
mination of that suit application has
been made to the railroad commission
to interfere. under the provisions of
Chapter 69m Of the Statutes, which is
the remnant Of the water power law
of 1911.
The railroad commission has direct
ed c. NJ. Larson, it's chief engineer. to
make an investigation and a hearing
will be had before the commission on
Oct Z.
Another subject of interest soon to
come before the commission is the pc
/ tition Of several hundred residents of
Horizon and Mayville setting forth
that the Rock River Valley Land COM
pany is dredging that stream in such
a way as to prove a great detriment
and damage to the head waters of
Rock river and destroying it as navi-
gable stream The complaint is by
the city of Horizon, and alleges that
the work complained of will lower the
level of the river and drain Lake Hor-
icon, which provides the head waters
of Rock river, and will destroy the
hunting, boating and fishing privi-
leges. 1t further alleges, too, that it
will make the river stagnant and a
menace to public health. The hearing
has been set for Oct. 10.

Extra State Business Held Beyond
Wisconsin Jurisdiction-State
Wins Point.

Madison.-A test of the income tax
law will be made in supreme court,
following a stipulation before Circuit
Judge e. Ray Stevens, in the Montreal
mining case. The company asks the
state for a refund of money collected
on business done in other states. 1t
asserts the law is unconstitutional in
that a tax is levied upon the earnings
of the company outside of Wisconsin.
The states demurrer was sustained
by Judge Stevens. Attorney George
Lines, Milwaukee, takes the appeal.
Five other cases involving the same
principle are held in allegiance.

DENVER TAXES DEALERS

Denver, Colo, July 22.-To meet the
threatened deficit in the city's finances
three license ordinances went into ef-
feet here today. They provide annual
taxes upon dealers in meat, hucksters
and peddlers, and dealers in cigarettes.
The present tax on cigarettes is $50 a
year. 1t probably will be raised to
$500. From $4,000 to 100000 is ex-
pected from these new taxes.

tor Porter, proved such success, it has
been the directors dream to do some.
thing on the same plan for the "club
swingers." " Accordingly he has gath
cred a faculty OIL officials of the police
department and organized this school
of instruction for future cops.
The first week s curriculum includes
instruction in military and physical
drills, courts and court procedure; fel.
ony and misdemeanors, duties of patrol
men on their beats, reports of street
obstructions; illustration of crime and
action to be taken, and in what in
stances it is right to use force
The second week includes studies in
crimes, gambling operations, control Of
mObs and how to serve warrants. In
the third week they will be instructed
in how to deal with disorderly houses
and persons; how to get evidence and
confessions, and how to enforce traffic
regulations. The last week 8 course in
cludes instructions which deal with
cases of cruelty to animals and the duty
of policemen to enforce health laws. On
the last day of the fourth week all
students" will take their final ex-
aminations, The averages will be made
public. Those passing will be awarded
diplomas and put into active service.
Lieutenant Harry C. Davis is the Of
ficial head Of the school, with Martin
H. Ray as advisory director. The fac.
ulty includes Superintendent of Police
James Robson; Acting Detective Chas.
Lee; Physical Instructor Frank Rod,
man; Attorney Cooley and Acting
Chief Police Surgeon John Wanamaker,
the third. The plan is expected to
eliminate any chance for the frequent
bursts of sarcasm to which the police
are subjected by making them more eff.
ficient. Director Porter is enthusiastic
over the progress of the school so far
and hopes from time to time to make
the examinations for entrance to the
school more exacting.
"The idea, said the director, "is
to have every phase of police duty ex-
planned to the men by those who are
expert in it, so that they will have
solid foundation of theory before actu.
ally beginning work as policemen. They
will be told how, when and why to ar.
rest people and how TO deal with emer-
gencies. They will be given frequent
examinations so that points upon which
they may be weak may be explained to
them. "
