Sparta-Perhaps the quickest
murder hearing in Wisconsin court
history occurred here when, inside of
four minutes Edward Rentz was ar
raigned and sentenced to life in
prison on pleading guilty to the muir

week before. No evidence was heard,
no speeches were made--nothing was
done, in fact, except a plea of guilty
from Rentz and sentence from the

he was arrested and confession soon

UPPER HOUSE OF LEGISLATURE
BRANDS GOV. MGOvERNS
CUSTER UNWARRANTED
ACTION CALLED ARBITRARY
Refuses to Confirm Appointment of
/. A. Anderson as Insurance Com
missioner = Governor Immediately
Renews Fight

Madison BY a vote of % to 4
the Wisconsin senate indicated In
surance Commissioner Herman L.
Ekern of charges of political activ-
ity in violation of the law under
which he was appointed. refusing to
confirm Gov. McGovern's appoint
ment OF Lewis A. Anderson of Madi-
son as commissioner, and sharply
criticized the governors action in dis
missing Ekern. This action came as
a elimination of two days hearing
before the upper house.
The six senators who voted against
the adoption of the majority report
are: Hoyt. Killeen, A. E. Martin,
Shower, Tomkins, Stevens. Senators
Browne and Burke were not in the
chamber when the vote was taken.
The majority report was to the eff
feet:
That the charges preferred by the
governors executive clerk were I'M
true
That the order for Ekerns re-
moval was prepared in advance of
any hearing.
That Ekern had not had a fair and
impartial hearing; that the hearing
was arbitrary and not conducted ~
good faith.
That While Ekern engaged a hotel
room for Johnsons speakership
headquarters, he had no control of
them; that he did not request the
support of any member for Johnson
and did not manage Johnson's cam
paign
That at no time had he been guilty
of any wilful or official misconduct or
neglect of duty.
TWO minority reports, averring
that the question was judicial and
not within the senate's Jurisdiction,
were submitted by Senators Browne
and Killeen, and both were rejected.
That what mas now become a great
political battle has only just begun,
was made clear when Gov. Mccoy
ern immediately after the senate S
action again appointed L. A Ander-
son as commissioner of insurance
Gov. McGovern had no comment to
make, but his prompt renewal of his
appointment of Anderson was suffi-
cient notice that now it is a fight

feel that the match is there. Upon
acknowledging that it is, he is told
to break it, and he does as directed.
He declares that he felt the match
break, and all those within rea-
sonable distance have heard 1t snap.
The magician then shakes out the
handkerchief, and to the amaZement
of all, instead of broken match the
whole match drops to the floor.
A previous preparation Of the hand
kerchief is necessary for the trick.
The handkerchief should be a COM
mon one with a wide border. Open
one hem at one end, as shown in Fig.
4, and slip one or more matches
through the opening and along the
hem, as indicated by the dotted lines
in Fig. 5. Now then, in performing
the trick, after the match is placed
in the center of the handkerchief the
method OF rolling il is very impor-
tant, it being necessary TO conceal
the center match in the portion of the
handkerchief nearest the performer,
and to bring one of the matches in
the hem into position for the mem
Der OF the audience to break. This
trick, of course, can be repeated as
many times as you have unbroken
matches in the hem, but it is not a
wise plan to have more than three at
the most, because it is difficult 70
keep track of them and prevent the
breaking of the wrong match.
To Transform Contents of Glass.
After demonstrating to the audi
ence that a drinking glass upon the
table before them contains an inky
fluid, by dipping pieces Of white card
board into it and showing their
blackened surfaces upon withdrawing
them. the boy magician declares that
he will proceed to convert the liquid
into water that is as clear as crystal.
Whereupon, he throws napkin or
cloth over the tumbleT, makes few
passes over it with his wand, and re-
moves the cloth, exposing to view a
tumbler of clear water. This is
poured out into q saucer to demon
strate its cicarness
Besides the glass tumbler, piece
of black rubber large enough to iii
