BIG DREADNOUGHT PLANS
ARE STOLEN FROM THE U. S.
Sensation Caused by Disappearance of
Papers as to Battleshlp

Washington, May 15.-That there
have been repeated thefts of plans of
United States battleships from the

on since the night of March 4, when
certain plans Of the newest dread
nought, the Pennsylvania, were taken
from the bureau Of steam engineering.
Since that date similar plans OF
other ships have been missed from the
same drafting rooms. Agents Of the
department Of justice have been put
on the case, but up to date their inves-
LEGATIONS have brought no results.
Navy officials say they are not SO

The plans were very simple and
such as could be prepared to order by
any competent electrician. They did
not relate to the fire control or turreG
mechanism and therefore had no par
ticular naval value.
The officials, however, were alarmed
at the occurrence, because 1t disclosed
the possibility of the theft of really
important secret plans. Consequently
extra precautions have been taken TO
guard against the entry into the draft

HIGH TRIBUNAL HEARS ADDl-

ON WELL KNOWN ACTION.
SINGLE QUESTION INVOLVED
Supreme Justice Winslow Announces
This is Understanding of Court
Decision in Case Expected to Be
Handed Down at June Sitting.

Madison.-The Supreme court took
order of the Circuit of Dane county
refusing his petition for permanent
injunction to restrain Gov McGovern,
State Superintendent of Public Prop
erty W. l.. Essman and L. A. Ander-
son from forcibly ejecting him from
the insurance department as a result
of the order of the governor, dismiss

the governor. The governor claimed

date for speaker of the assembly vio-
lated the laws under which he was
appointed.
Justice Winslow said the court I'M
derstood that there was only one ques-
ton involved in this case. This is
understood that the chief justice re-
ferred to the question of whether Mr..
Ekern was entitled to reasonable no
tice, hearing and opportunity to be

of law.
Mr. Ekern's attorneys claimed in
brief that there was no reasonable
view to sustain the charges against
Mr.. Ekern. The attorneys represent
ing the governor, contended Mr.. Extern
was given reasonable notice and OPP
portunity to be heard and that the
reason he did not have more time in
which to introduce evidence in his be-
half was that he and his attorneys
consumed most of their time at the
hearing in Directing to the proceed
ings and introduction of testimony in
support of the charges. They also con-
tended it was clearly in the powers of
the legislature to authorize the sum-
mary removal of the commissioner of
insurance if he saw fit.
The arguments were finished when
the court adjourned and it is expected
a decision will be given at the June
sitting
