Washington, July 22-Congratula tions to President Wilson and Attor- ney-General McReynolds were ex- pressed in the senate today by Sena- tor Reed of Missouri for their deter imitation to proceed criminally and civilly against the New Haven direct ors.

In a one-sided, slow, draggy and uninteresting game yesterday after noon the lPastimes defeated the Be- dalls by the score of 12 to 4. At the beginning. of the game only a hand ful of fans were seated in the grand stand and they made their exit one by one during the contest and at the conclusion only the players and mas cts were on tine grounds to take their defeat and honors.
 The poor showing made by the drug boys can be attributed to the fact that only two of the regular men were in the lineup. Some of the men On the team were shifted from one position to another until it was almost impossible for the "fan" to keep tab on their whereabouts. Eight errors are charged to the drug boys while the poolshooters did only little better and are chalked up with five. The Pastimes were better at the stick, however, securing thir- ten safe bingles, while theil oppo- nents managed to secure only Six.
 Harris, who was on the mound for the poolists pitched superb ball, all lowing only one pass and benching an even dozen batters. The drug gists used three pitchers to check the heavy hitting opponents, but none was effective and the slugfest continued. Moore, who started the game for the druggists pitched SIX innigs, allowing one base and struck out half a dozen men. After a series of bingles and numerous errors in the sixth, he gave way to Powell, who proved too light for the poolists, and gave way to Beattie.

TROLLEY SOUTH AGAIN RUM0RED.

Rumors are again current that a
trolley line will be built this summer
connecting Manitowoc and Sheboygan.
The Reiss interests at Sheboygan pur-
chased one of the lines running from
Sheboygan and it is is surmsed they
are the parties interested in the con-
templated extension to Manitowoc.
The proposed route was laid out and
about half of it graded some years ago
and it is probable that any line built
would follow this grading at least for
most of the way. The present report
have it that the line will approach by
way of Silver Lake. The route out
there was surveyed last fall from the
end of the Traction Company's line
here. This extension would doubtless
tend to boom the summer resorts at
Silver Lake.

Five dollars were appropriated to
furnish the chief of police with the
1913 statutes.
The treasurer reported $354.00 per-
sonal property taxes uncollected. The
report went to the finance committee
and an attempt will be made to collect
some of it.
Engineer PITT made a report on
| streets recommending the narrowing
of the space between curbs 80 as to
cheaper street maintenance and permit
paving on many streets.
The Seventh ward is again demand
ing better fire protection and water
main extensions. These will doubtless
soon come up.
A resolution was introduced granting
to the new utilities committee most OF
the powers granted, by statute, the
general charter utilities commission.
The attorney informed the council that
these powers could not lawfully be del
egated to a committee and the matter
went over and will be worked out be-
| fore the next meeting.
An ordinance is pending granting
the c <& N. W. Ry. Co. the right to
construct two tracks across 18th street
to the site of the pew freight station
to be built this year directly east OF
the present freight depot. Mr.. Pierce,
representing the railroad company was
heard and explained the necessity for
the two tracks.
The ordinance had not been introdu-
ced and laid over under the council
rules and the action upon it was defer
red for that reason. The council ad-
journed to the Hotel Victoria where
the mayors annual banquet was held.
The spread was credit to the hotel
cuisine. All the aldermen except Ze-
man were present as we'll as ex-alder-
men Ralph Plumb and Chas. Frazier.

ing formidable array Tney were may
or, clerk, attorney, engineer, street com

officer, physician, sexton, poor commits
sioner, sealer, harbor master, water
clerk, electric clerk, water superin-
tendent, water engineel electric SD
perintendenJ, and reporters OF the
Herald and News. Every one was call
ed upon for remarks and the meeting
did not break up until 1890.
In the course of his remarks the May
or said the city should be the first ci-
ty in Wisconsin to acquire munich
pal telephone system. He did not ad-
vocate the immediate requirement but
said that after it was seen that the
electric utility was working all right
the movement to acquire the tele-
phones should be started. He asserted
that this is the best paying of all the
utilities.

Total for two years. S2ol, ,S3Ioo
And the appropriation for the present
biennial period
I9l4-15, is 100000 more, or 1850, 10000
This is an average of $lS0,0OO year.
Contrast these colossal figures with
those contained in the following letter
from George L. McCaughan, secretary
of the board of railroad commissioners
of Iowa:
81 am very much obliged for the in
| formation contained in the newspaper
clipping you enclosed.
SIN this connection would advise that
for the biennial period July /, l9ll-l3,
| the legislature appropriated $41 200 for
the use of this commission. OF this
sum we used 844 1888 6S.
SIN the year 1910 there were 1850. IL
miles of steam railroads operated in
Wisconsin. The mileage in Iowa for
the corresponding year was l0,0S4.77,
So you see that we get along on consi
derably less than the Wisconsin COM
mission and have considerably more
miles of railroad"
What do you think of that?
Iowa, which is understood to have a
fine record of work by its railroad COM
mission, spends S44, 1873 in two years
the Wisconsin commission, doing of
course more in varied directions, spends
$lSS,000 in one year. And Wisconsin
has 2, 723 miles less of steam roads than
| Iowa.
1t will be recalled that the Wisconsin
commission recently had to discharge
| clerks because 1T was reaching the end
of it's appropriation for the present
| year.
No one ever suspected that the sane
| people of Iowa were not regulating
their steam rods adequately-that they
we're suffering for any insufiiciency in
such regulation. The truth of the
matter seems TO he that in Wisconsin
there is stupandous, expensive over
regulation OF steam roads, and of all
other public utilities, just as there is
oyer-regu'adcn 81 everything else, and
this is one of the important reasons for
the enormous taxes burdening the peo-
pie of this state. If Iowa can regulate
its steam roads we'll, as doubtless it
does, with an expenditure of S44,333
for whole biennial period, Wisconsin
also should do so; and thus at once,
through this commission alone, save
how nearly 100000 in two years! We
then shall have about all the regula-
tion OF railways, all the investigation,
and regulation of all utilities, that this
state or its people need.
And as with the railroad commission
so with all other commissions.
