well pleased with the results obtain.
ed In the case OF Thomas, Dixon,
United States immigration inspector,
who was shot by federals at Juarez
on Saturday. The department is in
formed that its every demand has

Anxiety for Others.
Some anxiety is still felt about the
cases Of Charles Bissell and an Eng
lishman named Macdonald who are
reported in the hands of federals near
Chihuahua and under sentence of exc
cution.
Urgent demand has been made by
representatives of the United States

Complaint Against Edwards.
One of the incidents of the day was
the protest made by Representative
Smith of Texas at the state depart

Juarez. Representative Smith made
his complaint at the request of citi-

charge against Edwards is that he
would not give his permission for a

Americans reported in danger there.

reward for giving a cold biscuit and

to be a tramp in 1885 was bestowed
upon Mrs. Matte Hannun in the final
settlement Of the Marshall McMurran
estate. Mrs. Hannun was paid $27,.
600 in gold and received a deed to
property valued at $4,000.
10 Fed Him as Tramp.
Twenty-four years ago Mrs. Han
nun, who lives In Vincennes, was Mat
tie Drain, servant girl, nineteen years
old. One day McMurran, who was
then a wanderer, called at the, house
where the Drain girl worked and ask
ed for something to eat. The man of
the house ordered McMurran away,
saying he did not make a practice OF
feeding tramps. Miss Drain, however,
took pity on the man and fed him.
That so impressed the man that he
went to the house of a neighbor and
wrote his will on a piece Of brown
paper with the request that 1t be
given Miss Drain. The girl kept the
piece of paper, little thinking it would
ever be of any value.
$4,000 Buried in Howell.
Twenty-four years later, McMurran,
who had become an eccentric poet and
miser, was found demented in
shack On the Stringtown road near
this city. He was removed to the
Southern Indiana Insane hospital,
where he died in few days. Under
the floor of his hovel was found gold
and silver amounting to over $4,000
Case Tried Twice.
In the meantime Mrs. Hannun be-
gan steps in the circuit court to claim
all of the dead mans property. Her
suit was contested by relatives. In
the first trial in the Posey county cir
cult court at Mount Vernon, Ind, the
jury failed to agree.
The second trial was held in the
Pike county circuit court at Peters
burg, Ind, and the jury decided that
the will held by Mrs. Hannun was
genuine. tr,r,..,,.., 81, . ..,....

Cary Rumsey, daughter Of the late e.

Narragansett Pier sometime last Satur.
day night or Sunday. The theft was
the work of persons who had ac-
qvaintance with the place where
Mrs. Rumsey kept her jewels, for
there was no rummaging for them.
The room was undisturbed and even a
dressing table drawer from which the
articles were taken was left otherwise
in perfect order. Burns operatives
left for Narragansett.
The stolen property comprised five
pieces. The first of these in value,
100000, the pearl necklace, was a
wedding gift to Mrs. Rumsey from her
mother, the widow of the railroad
man. The other pieces with the ex-
ception of one large ruby also the gift
of Mrs. Hartman, were given to Mrs
Rumsey, then Miss Mary Hartman,
by e. H. Hartman at different times
before his death. They are:
A large pearl and ruby pendant, in
tended to be worn with the necklace
This is worth about $4,000.
A bar pin set with small diamonds
and having in the center, large ruby,
$4,000.
A plaque sbrooch of platinum fill
gree work set with diamonds with a
large diamond in the center, $4,000.
A gold mesh bag the frame set with
diamonds and sapphires, $1,000.
The values in each case are con-
sentative and it would probably cost
considerably mere than the amounts
named to duplicate the stolen pieces.
The necklace is made up of about
100 pearls. The center pearls on the
the present graduated string weigh
about 81 grains
Want to See Organ Grinder.
Immediately after learning of her
loss Sunday night, Mrs. Rumsey com.
municated with the Burns agency and
also with Mr.. Tegethoff, manager OF
the Hartman estate. Mrs. Rumsey
told Mr.. Tegethoff that the only clew
she could give the agency operatives
was the fact that an organ grinder
with the usual monkey played just
outside the house Sunday morning
and held the attention of Mrs. Rum.
sey, her infant son, and two of the
maids for some time. The operatives
have taken up this incident as indicat-
ing a possible accomplice IN the rob-
berry, and are looking for the organ
grinder and his red coated monkey.
Servants Not Suspected.
In her telephone conversation with
Mr.. Tegethoff since the robbery, Mrs.
Rumsey has expressed the belief that
none of the servants was implicated
and that the robbery was committed
from the outside. |AaSo
Mr.. and Mrs. Rumsey have stopped
at Narragansett for the past three
summers. This year they rented a
house known as Cunning Rock cot
tage from Harrison Tweed. 1t was
from this house that the jewels were
taken.

Manning Vaughn, Milwaukee Sporting
Writer, is Named as Secretary of the
Commission and First Licenses are
Issued by the Commission.

Walter H. Liginger, former presi-

leading athletic authorities of the
country, was elected chairman of the
state athletic commission at its first
meeting held in Attorney A. J. He'd
ding's office in Milwaukee; Monday.
The choice was unanimous, both Com
missioners w. L. Hart and DR.. G. w.
Morter voting for Liginger on the
first ballot.
Manning R. Vaughn, sporting editor
of The Sentinel, was elected secretary
for three years, his duties beginning

Aside from the election of officers
and the organization of the commits

Eddie Harmer of Kenosha
joins Force at the Milwau-
kee MotOrdrome Monday
MAKES GOOD ON THE TRACK

Eddie Harmer, Kenosha motorcycle
racer left ON Monday for Milwaukee
to join the racing team of the Mil,
waukee motordrome and he will race
under the Milwaukee colors for the re-
mainder of the season, being a team
mate for Billy Hamilton, also Ke-
nosha rider, who has been with the
Milwaukee team since the opening of
the present season. Harmer has been
riding with the Riverview team in
Chicago and has won many races this
season. He was also member of the
Chicago travelling racing team and won
hard fought victories on the tracks at
Denver, st. Louis, and other western
cities. Harmer has the reputation of
being one of the grittiest riders on
the track and at the same time he is
one of the most careful and while he
has established half dozen records in
as many different cities he has met
with no accidents. Harmer and Hamil-
ton are expected to be the leaders in
the Milwaukee team and the team will
be matched to meet teams of riders
from many of the cities in the country.
Harmer has been leader among
the motorcycle riders of Kenosha for
the past four years and he gave indi-
cations of being great racer three
years ago at meets held in Kenosha.
Since that time he has been constant
ly on the track during the racing
season.
Hamilton joined the Milwaukee
squad some time ago and is now rae
ing under the colors of the Milwau-
kee Press Club. During the past week
Hamilton carried off the first place
In four races and he is one of the
most popular riders in Milwaukee.
The two Kenosha riders will un-
doubtedly win lot of trophies for
the Milwaukee team during the re-
mainder of the season.

being cast on any bout.
The members of the commission
want it understood that every safe.
guard viii be thrown about the game
in the state. The commission at its
next meeting will draw up a set of
rules regarding ring, the conduct of
shows, etc, and all clubs will be fore
ed to live up to the strict letter of
the law.
"We viii endeavor to put clean
boxing in this state on the map with
both feet said Chairman Liginger.
There is no reason why boxing can
net be conducted along good whole
some lines. It is a good, clean sport
when properly regulated and we viii
endeavor to do this. LOCALIZED box
ing has been great success in New
York, and there is no reason why it
can not be as successful in Wisconsin.
Ny associates know the game thor
oughly and we do not anticipate any
trouble in getting the confidence Of the
people who opposed the Hedding bill
before its passage. Permanent head
quarters for the commission were es-
tablished at $40 Germania building,

Hedding wishes to keep in touch with
the work of the commission, being

not help but mean the abandonment
of the system.
There is no question that despite the
fact that the appropriations of this
legislature were away in excess Of
those of any of its predecessors there
were very few members of the legisla-
ture who had any real idea of what
the legislature was really appropriat-
ing. The members of the finance COM
mittee knew and no one else. A few
members had general idea Of what
was contained in the bills, but the
most Of the legislators only knew
about the bills from the discussion that
was given them on the floor, and it
was not their fault, either. There was
simply no opportunity given for the
examination of the bills.
That the next legislature will pass
an initial resolution in accordance
with the recommendation of Gov. Nc
Govern that, if the budget systems be
continued opportunity be given for
vetoing individual appropriations,
there can be no question. The recon-
mendations of the governor met very
general approval from members of the
legislature, LaFollette men, McGovern
men and democrats uniting in the
statement that there was absolutely
no question that the governor was
right in his position.
One of the most outspoken in favor
of the governors position in regard
to the vetoing of separate appropria-
tions was Senator Husting who said
there was no doubt but that the gov
ernor was absolutely right in his posi-
tion and that under the present sys-
tenn the appropriations Of the legisla-
ture were practically placed with the
finance committee.
This much can be said The expert
ence Of this legislature has by no
means demonstrated that the budget
system is a failure. It should not be
abandoned simply because it delayed
the adjournment of this legislature.
With the right in the governor to veto
separate appropriations, and with
strict legislative rules as to when the
finance committee. must make its re-
port on appropriation bills, the budget
may prove of great value to the state.
