ATTORNEY GENERAL RULES AP-
POINTMENT HOLDS FOR
20 DAYS AT LEAST.
SAYS DONALD MUST ATTEST
Under Law, Secretary Must Counter
sign Appointment of L. A. Anderson
as State Insurance Commissioner
Action by Ekern Expected.

Madison-A decision by Attorney
General Walter c. Owens holds that
John S. Donald, secretary of state,
must, under the law, countersign the
appointment of L. A. Anderson, as
insurance commissioner to succeed
Herman L. Ekern. Owens holds that
Anderson is now the legally appoint
fact that no action has been taken by
the senate. Owens holds that Ander-
son will be commissioner for the next
twenty days, the time limit within
which the senate must act.
The decision was Immediately
made known to Ekern, who has been
practically in a state of siege in his
Offices 1t is believed that Ekern will
at once take action in the supreme
court to prevent his successor from
taking office The nature of this ac-
ton is unknown.
Il regard your duty in the pre-
misses to be clear and unequivocaI, "
says the attorney general in the opin-
ion to Secretary of State Donald. The
opinion says that the secretary has
no discretion in a case of this kind,
that the latter's duty is plain and that
he is directed by law to perform it.
An editorial in La Follette's Maya
zine protests against the governor
dismissal of Herman L. Ekern from
the office of insurance commissioner
The article says in part: How much
of this attempt to destroy his great
work for the state is due to political
malice and how much, if any, is due
to the Vaccinations of the insurance
combination of Wall street, with
which one George W. Perkins is con
nected, cannot now be determined.
The people of Wisconsin will not sub
nit to this They will not suffer
this man or his important service to
leave upon any pretext, however dis
guised."

SHORT SESSION IMPROBABLE
Legislative Members Slow on Getting
Ideas Together for Drafting of
MeasureS-Few Bills Introduced

Madison.-There is the usual talk
around the chambers of a short SEES
sion. That always is heard at the
! beginning of every session and then
the legislature proceeds to carry its
sessions along into June or July.
No one expects the present session
will come to close before the mid
die of May at the earliest. The vet
Grams. predict June at least as the
date on which the legislature will
adjourn sine die.
One peculiar thing about the pres
ent session is the few bills that have
been introduced. Less than forty
bills had been introduced at the close
of the second week of the session.
Members seem to have waited I'M
til they reached Madison before get
ting their ideas on legislation put in
the shape of bills. As a result of
this DR.. McCarthy's bill MILL" as
the legislative reference bureau is
known, is being rushed to the limit
il preparing bills.
The lay over of four days which
the legislature is taking will give the
reference library a chance to make
some sort Of a dent in the pile OF
ideas which have been dumped in on
the workers. 1t will be only a dent,
however. 1t will be overtime work
there for some weeks to come.
Speaker Hull is determined to
shorten the session considerably from
what it has been in former years. The
speaker has expressed himself as in
favor of night sessions, 'sor getting
up at 4 O'Clock in the morning" if
necessary to get legislation out of the

HOME RULE BILL
PASSES COMMONS
Measure Is Adopted by Vote of
1853 to 258.
BIG MAJORITY A SURPRISE
Nationalist and Liberals Manifest
Great Joy at Outcome of Long
Fight-Act Sent to
Lords.
BIG MAJORITY A SURPRISE

London, Jan 18.-After long, stern
battle the home rule bill passed the
house OF commons by a majority Of
10 on Thursday. Later it was read
for the first time in the house Of
lords
There were two divisions in the
lower house. Mr. Balfour's motion for
it's rejection was defeated, 258 to 1868,
while the third reading was carried
by a vote of 367 to PSI, one member
from each side having left the house
in the interval.
The result of the division was too
much a foregOne conclusion for ire
mendOus demonstration, but Irishmen
inside and outside of the house did
their best, and, assisted by the Liberals
and Laborites, gave the measure for
which they had waited and worked so
long a good send-off on its way to the
house of lords, where its fate is GER
tainly sealed.
The large majority of 10 was a
surprise to all parties
RedmoHd's reference to the millions
of the Irish race in America, driven
out by disagreement and hostile to
the British, was loudly cheered.
The bill, tied up with green ribbon,
was Immediately taken to the house of
lords for first reading, escorted by the
Nationalist members, who were
cheered on crossing the lobby from
one house to another.
Mr.. Asquith's home rule bill pro
vides for the establishment OF an Irish
parliament consisting of a senate and
a house of commons, with power to
make laws for the peace, order and
good government of Ireland. 1t pro-
vides that the matters to be excluded
from the control of the Irish parlia-
! ment are the crown, the army and
navy, imperial affairs, the Irish land
national insurance acts, the Irish con-
stabulary, the postoffice savings banks
and public loans, in addition to those
excluded by the home rule bill of 1898,
which left the customs under the con
troll of the imperial government.
Provision is made for the protec-
ton of religious equality in Ireland.
| The Irish senate is to consist of 40
members and the house of representa-
| tives of 1874, of which Ulster is to have
SO and the Universities two. The 164
representatives are to be elected from
| constituencies having a population OF
more than $4,000.

ROCKEFELLER IN BAD SHAPE
DR.. c. w. Richardson Reports He
Could Stand Short Quiz.


Washington, Jan. 17.-By a res
olution presented by Chairman
Pujo himself, the committee on We'd
nesday decided that William RockefeI-
Ter may be examined by the chairman
and Samuel Untermyer, the commit
tees counsel although the examina-
ton will be private and will be held
in all probability in the south.
The committee reached this decision
after DR.. Charles w. Richardson, the
physician who examined Mr.. Rookie
Teller at Miami, Fla, took the stand
and reported that the brother of the
oil king could stand a short examina-
ton, but that his condition is such
that lengthy ordeal is impracticable
Doctor Richardson told the commit
tee that his examination of Mr.. Rookie
Teller had consumed about one hour.
He said Mr.. Rockefeller's right vocal
cord is entirely gone and his voice
is not audible at a distance of more
than twenty feet. In addition to his
throat disease Mr.. Rockefeller suffers
from palsy, Doctor Richardson re-
ported.
