URGES EXTENSION
Of FARM SCHOOLS
SPEAKER HULL INTRODUCES A
ELL PROVIDING ONE FOR
EACH COUNTY.
ASKS FIVE BUILT EACH YEAR
Appropriation of $4,000 Annually
Niece sary for PIan-Combination of
State Boaras and Railroad Regula-
ton Proposed by Other Measures. -

Madison.-Speaker Hull has intro
duced in the assembly his bill for
county agricultural schools. 1t is in
substance the same bill which Mr..
Hull introduced two years ago and
which passed the assembly by large
majority, but failed in the senate.
The bill proposed an agricultural
school for each county. A school
which will take the pupils from the
rural and grade schools who cannot
go to high school and give them prac-
teal training in farming and domes-
tic science. Such schools, Mr.. Hull
believes, are most needed in the
more sparsely settled counties which
are not able to supply the need them
selves. He would have the state ap-
propriate each year 0,000, which
would build five schools in as many
counties, annually, taking about four
teen years to reach all the counties.
Would Combine State Boards.
The offices of fish and game war
den, state forester and state park
board rae abolished by a bill intro
duced by Assemblyman Alex John
son. In place of these offices and
boards the bill provides for the ap-
pointment of a conservation commits
sioner who is to be appointed by the
governor and receive a salary OF
5,O0O.a year. AT almost the same
time Senator John M True, Bara
boo, introduced bill to abolish the
office of the state park board and
transfer the work to the forestry
board. The bill carries an annual
appropriation of $4,000 for the use
OF the forestry board to purchase
lands for the extension of the state
parks and forestry reserves and the
work of the office.
Bills Affect Railroads.
Senator Teasedale of Sparta has
introduced four bills dealing with
railroads. One prohibits the rail
roads from charging 10 cents extra
in cases where a passenger fails to
buy his ticket before boarding the
train. Another provides that brake
men on all lines shall be instructed
to aid women and infirm persons in
boarding and alighting from trains
The third requires the employment
of auditors on all passenger trains,
whose duty it shall be to collect fares.
The fourth requires the publishing
of timetables in newspapers.
Prison walls will not a prison
make if bill introduced by Assem-
blyman Lentz of Mayville becomes
law. Mr.. Lentz wishes to have the
convicts in the state penitentiary
placed at the disposal of the various
counties in the state for the making
of good roads. His bill provides that
when any county board adopts a res
olution asking for convicts for road
making that the board of control
shall assign such number of convicts
as may be deemed best, not exceed
ing the number named in the resolu-
ton, for the use of the village or
city in which the road work is to be
done. The bill specifies that the
town, village or city in which the CON
victs are employed must provide for
guards and other expenses of keep
ing the men.

The record has not yet come back to

until this is done and the members
have a chance to examine it no de-
cision will be reached.
1t is understood here today that. q
a result OF some Of the matter said
to be contained In this record, this
being in the nature OF affldavits sub
mitted by Mr.. Whaley, there may be
a big sensation in Charleston city

have been touched upon is the bar.

ise OF other municipal assistance for
the purpose Of furthering Mr. Gracs's
political plans. That there will bs

clusions drawn by those who are said
to be familiar with the contents Of the

reply to those submitted by Mayor
Grace and to the testimony which the
latter also produced.
From present indications the situ-

Today the waters OF Gatun Lake
are pouring into the Culebra Cut and
soon the way will be clear for the pas
sage Of the first boat through the
Panama Canal from ocean to ocean.
1t is a tragedy that Lieut.. Col. David
DuBose Gaillard, the army engineer
who conquered the landslides and
dug the great Culebra channel, cam
not be present to witness the un-
claiming OF the waters and the final
proving Of the integrity Of his six
years labor under the heat Of the
tropics
Lieut.. Col. Gaillard saw the virtual
completion Of his work at Culebra and
on the hour which saw his triumph
ne was stricken with illness and to-
day, when the ceremonies attending
the letting in Of the water are in prog
ress, he is lying i'll In a Northern
hospital.
When this army engineer began
work at Culebra. six years ago, ho
knew that his great work must be
The overcoming OF the landslides
Tnis mas been written of his labor:
"Gaillard made his way fghting.
Literally he was obliged to shackle
he feet Of the mountains. He did il.
and the chaining is for al time. His
work done. the engineer broke under
the strain Of it."
The name of Gaillard will be con-
nected with the engineering work of
Culebra Cut for all time. Engineers
say that his task was one OF the herd
est which the canal work presented.
The letting in of the water today
marks the beginning Of the end oil

the triumph possible should not be
