ST. PAUL. February 1O.-The local par
Gel post office is being monopolized by
women who are crowding it with spring
hats.
We are handling dozens of the new
spring creations daily and that causes
much extra work because OF the nature
of the boxes. said Superintendent Of

The rush is expected to continue until

TAFT IN CONFERENCE
ON IMMIGRATION BILL
President Carefully Goes Over
Measure With Members
of Congress.

President Taft had long conference
today with the House and Senate CONFER
ees on the immigration bill now before
him. The conferees who finally shaped
the bill We're Senators Lodge. Dlil1nghaW
and Percy for the Senate and Represent
atives Barnett, SABBATH and Gardner for
the House. The President asked the con-
ferees for all the information he could
get as to the measure. The conference
ended with the understanding that the
President would send for the conferees
again.
1t is expected that the President will
send for Commissioner Williams at the
Ellis Island station in New York ana
ask for figures bearing upon immigration
at that port. The President wants to
ascertain If it is likely to be true that
the new bill will exclude a large per-
centage Of Hebrews coming to the United
States
Expected to Shed Light.
At the hearing he held last week in the
east room one Of the speakers charged
that the bill would shut out of the United
States 80 per cent of the Hebrews seek
ing admission here. Another speaker de-
clared that not over 2 per cent would be
excluded beyond the number now shut
out. The practical experience Of Com
missioner Williams will, the President be-
lieves. shed some light on this question,
as well as on others.
The President. following the confer
ence, was with his cabinet officers for
several hours discussing the wording of
the message he will send to Congress on
the budget scheme as the best method Of
making clear to the public the receipts
and expenditures Of the government.
President Taft will speak Washington's
birthday before the American Peace and
Arbitration League at its annual dinner
I'm New York. He has made no other
engagements for that day.

''The fiscal year 1912 was probably one
of the most trying periods to shipping

actual suffering to the crews on account
of the ice conditions, even as far south as
Chesapeake bay. These conditions result
ed in almost constant calls for the as

Every school has a director Of Eng

Titles Must Be Earned.

Every inducement is offered to young
men to work themselves UP, DR.. Gore ex.
planned. 'It is the most democratic coun-
try In the world in regard to titles. tt.
ties are not handed down in Siam as they
are in many other countries. but diminish
as they go down. For instance. the sOr
of a marquis would be only minister. Ir
a few generations the title Is lost entirely
unless the young men have proved theil
worth" The change Of names with the
change of rank. which is a custom pecul
lar to Siam, Is very confusing, said DR.
Gore.
Water control In Siam proves a diff
cult problem, according to DR.. Gore, for
because Of the rainy season, 1t Is Otter
as necessary to keep water out as it Is
to keep water in. They have system OF
irrigation there. however, he said, which
seems to work very well.
Only one American was seen by DR.
Gore during his stay in Siam, that being

has a European adviser, said DR.. Gore.

INTERPRETERS MARRIAGE LAW
Outsiders May Get License Without
Five Day Wait

Attorney General Walter G. Owen
of Madison has handed down an opin-
ion in regard to the new marriage
laws of the state which will be of in
terest in Kenosha. The Attorney Gen
eral holds that the thirty day residence
provision Of the statute applies only
to people who may seek special permits
from courts of record for marriage
in less than five days. He holds that
the law does not require any residence
on the part of people coming from
other states to marry and that an APP
plication for such a marriage wltfout
the wait of five days may be mace
by the mother Of the bride. The op-
inion is being sent broadcast with a
view of bringing back to Kenosha some
Of the marrying business. It is not
thought that the opinion of the Attor-
ney General will result IN any great
increase in the business in Kenosha
as Chicago people object very strenu-
ously to the five day clause.

Personal service was secured on the de-
PENDANT but he did not appear personal
ly or by attorney. Mr.. and Mrs. knapp
were married at Pine River, Wis, 18
years ago but they had lived in Keno
sha and Pleasant Prairie for some time
prior to the alleged desertion. Under

fort to find some trace of Uriah S.
Grant said to be former Kenosha
man who has been missing from Daven.
port since the first dav of August.
Grant is said to have lived in Kenosha
eight years ago and to have moved
from Kenosha to Davenport. He left
his home on the first of August stat
ing that he was going downtown to
purchase some provisions for the family
and never returned. The letter to the
police declares that the condition of
Mrs. Grant is very critical and friends
fear that she will die if her husband
is not located. The local police were
unable to find any trace of the missing
man in Kenosha and they have no rea-
son to believe that he has been here

LOCAL OFFICIALS NOTIFIED
Possible That Changes Will be Made in
Traffic Rates From Kenosha to Other
Points on the Interurban Line
Hearing to be Held in Ten Days.

Late Saturday evening Mayor Dan.
O. Head and other officials Of the city
were notified by the Wisconsin State
Railroad commission that the Milwau-
kee Electric Railway and Light Com
pany had filed petition with the COM
mission asking that an investigation be
made by the commission with view OF
fixing a reasonable and uniform rate for
suburban and interurban traffic on all
the lines of the company.
The notice came as surprise to the
officials as they had no idea that the
company was dissatisfied with the rates
now in force and it had not been made
public that any change in rates was
contemplated,
Served with the notice is schedule
showing the rates charged by the COM
pany for one way and round trip traffic
to all the towns, villages and cities
touched by the lines of the company
and it is declared that these schedules
show many inequalities in fare charged
for distance travelled. The commission
is asked to make an adjustment of all
of the schedules and set rates for the
traffic which will be uniform and fair
to all stations concerned.
It is not apparent just how the city
of Kenosha is to be affected by the
proposed hearing but under the notice
the city of Kenosha will have a chance
10 be present at the hearing and pre-
sent such facts as it may see fit TO aid
the commission in reaching suita-
BILE schedule
1t is possible that the interurban
rates to Kenosha over the M, r. & K.
line will be slightly increased as for
some time these rates have been lower
than those charged by the Chicago &
Milwaukee competing line. 1t has al
ways been held that the difference in
rates charged by the two companies
was due to the fact that the line to
the west made faster time and in this
way fully compensated the passenger
for the additional fare charged.
The notice bears the date of August
Is and the investigation is to be held
the latter part of this month. 1t is
probable that agents of the commission
will be sent to all the towns and cities
to make a study of the traffic with a
view of making schedule of rates
which will be based entirely on the
traffic done by the company at the par
ticular city, The business done by the
company has been considerably reduced
since the opening of traffic on the west
line but no change has been made in
rates,

National Society in Fight
on tuberculosis Praises
Wisconsin Laws.
many STATES FIGHT PLAGUE

Wisconsin is mentioned in a bulle-
tin just issued by the National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis as one of the states
securing the best health legislation
during the past year. The Wisconsin
Anti-Tuberculosis Association secured
the passage of every measure proposed.
Out Of forty-one state legislatures in
dealing with tuberculosis were enacted
in thirty states, while in thirty-four
states consideration was given to bills
dealing with the prevention of this
disease. This is a summary of the leg
islative campaign for 1918, issued by
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculo-
sis today.
appropriations to the amount of
$5,000,000 have been set aside for the
treatment and prevention of tuber-
culosis by the various state legisla-
lures in session this year. Most of
this money is for the maintenance of
state sanatoria. There are at the
present time thirty mine such institu.
tions in thirty-one different states,
Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Penn
sylvania, each having more than one
sanatorium. Delaware is the only
state which has made provision for a
state sanatorium for tuberculous ne
groes. In addition to the amounts APP
propriated by the various state govern
ments, congress will be obliged to set
aside nearly 100000 for the main
tenance of the United States public
health, the army and the navy sana-
tria, and the tuberculosis hospital of
the District of Columbia.
Among the notable advances IN the
legislative enactments of this year, are
the tuberculosis registration law Of
Colorado; laws providing for subsidies
to local hospitals in Minnesota and
Wisconsin, an act providing for the
establishment of county hospitals in
Indiana, and the establishment Of
state bureaus for the prevention of
tuberculosis in Ohio and California,
A complete analysis of the tuberculosis
legislation considered and enacted in
1913, is being prepared by The Ma
tional Association.

loan associations have been very popu-
lar indeed. One of the factors which
has been an aid to the building and
loan associations accomplishing good re-
suits has been the economical manage
ment of these associations. Under the
Wisconsin laws they are subject to
careful examination by the banking
commissioner department and the
banking department has been very care
full to look after their management.
The legislature also adopted another
bill beside the rural credit bill for the
aid of persons who are DESTROYS of i'm
proving farms in measure which per
mits counties to take mortgages on
these farms and to bond themselves to
make loans with which to furnish the
money for the carrying of the loans of
the settlers. This idea was presented
to the legislature two years ago by for
mer Assemblyman Plowman but was
not very fully developed, the bill on the
subject having been defective. 1t is
claimed, however, that the new law
which has been adopted on the subject
will be an effective measure.
1t is believed by people interested in
the development of northern Wisconsin
that both the rural credit law and the
law permitting county loans will prove
aids to the development of northern
| Wisconsin.
