ANNUAL MAY FETE is HELD
University of Wisconsin Goods Wei.
come Spring With Exercises
on Campus at Madison.

Madison.-The green of the upper
campus was fairyland when the Uni.
yersity of Wisconsin women held their
annual May fete. A class march, led
by the seniors in cap and gown, be
gan the festivities. Celebrating the
triumph of spring the next group OF
dances suggested the gradual change
from the dull browns and soft greens
of early spring to the bright hues of
the long, warm days. The closing
maypole dance, belonging by tradition
to the freshmen, was joyful, weaving
mass of bright color And the pole
about which the gay dancers reveled
was taken from the first tree cut down
when clearing the ground for Lathrop
hall. The presentation, given under
the direction of Miss Blanche M.
Trilling director of the women's gym
nasium, was prepared for in regular
class periods. No extra practice was
required of the participants. The cos
tunes, planned and made by the de-
partment of home economics, were fur
nished without cost to the girls.
The May fete celebration was first
held at the University of Wisconsin
in 1905 and has now become regu-
lar university function. Added inter
est was given last year by developing
a connected theme in the groups Of
dances.

S20,0O0,0O0 DEAL Is
MADE BY EX-SENATOR
ley Lines to New Haven-TWice
Too Much Was Paid.

Washington, May 22-Dominant
control by the late J. P. Morgan, not
only Of the officials, but of the proper
ties Of the New York, New Haven &
Hartford railroad, was further empha-
sized when former President Charles
S. Mellen Of the New Haven continued
his testimony before the interstate
commerce commission Wednesday.
He testified:
That Nelson W. Aldrich, while mem
Der of the United States senate, was
instrumental in selling Rhode Island
trolley system to the New Haven for
between $19,000,000 and $20,000,000,
twice the value of the properties"
In the trolley system Mr. Aldrich was
a stockholder.
That Mr.. Morgan was responsible
for the Boston & Names investing a
total Of $7,925,0OO in the purchase of
the Worcester, Nashua & Rochester
railway, paying SIS share more
than the stock was really worth"
That he himself said Jerusalem
when Mr.. Morgan told him he had
bought the stock of the Worcester
road at 165 from the Mutual Insur-
ance company, but that Mr.. Morgan
would brook no interference with his
own plans.
That Mr. Morgan was to blame for
the New Ravens purchase of the
Connecticut trolley system in excess
of its value.
That fee of 100000 was paid to
Mr.. Robbins for his work in getting
the Connecticut legislature to ratify
the charter consolidating the New
Haven with the New England Steam
ship company and the Consolidated
Railroad company, by which $30.000,-
600 went into the treasury of the
New Haven in a transaction that
may have been" designed to evade the
Connecticut law preventing railroad
from increasing its capital stock with
out distributing it to stockholders.

SPORTSMEN'S EFFORTS PAY
Stocking of Lakes and Streams Near
Superior With Game Fish
Brings Results.

Superior. time and energy ex-
pended in the last few years by mem
bers of the Douglas County Fish and
Game Protective league stocking the
lakes and streams of the county with
fish are beginning to show big results,
according to fishermen returning
from angling expeditions to points
near Superior. 1t is estimated that
during the last three years more than
100000 fry, principally trout, have
been planted and these are now
reaching the size where they furnish
pleasurable activity for those respon-
sible for their presence in local wa
tiers, as well as the visiting followers
of Izaak Walton. Even the st. Louis
river, which had been all but "fshed
out" is yielding good catches and the
streams and lakes further inland are
doing better than ever.

London, May 23.-While leading an
army of women upon buckingham
palace Thursday, Mrs Emmeline
Pankhurst, leader Of the militant suf-
fragettes, was arrested. Immediately
after King George and Queen Mary
arrived from Aldershot, where they
have been for five days inspecting the
great military establishment, the wom-
en- gathered at Whitehall and moved
toward Buckingham palace. They
sent word ahead demanding a per-
sonal interview with the king, while
a petition had been prepared for pre-
sentation to the queen.
More than 1000 policemen, detec-
tives and soldiers were on duty in
the streets and around the palace to
prevent rioting. Home Secretary Nc
Kenna had sent word to the leaders
of the women that King George would
not receive them under any circum-
stances, but this did not deter them
IF he won't see US we will see
him. was the reply sent back to the
home secretary.
AS Tic d. NY Vi MO1ISA vas
along Constitution hill two policemen
suddenly seized Mrs. Pankhurst and
hurried her off to the police station.
Mrs. Pankhurst's bodyguard of husky
women, chosen for their courage and
strength, gave an angry shout and at
tackled the policemen, but we're dis
persed with disheveled hair and torn
dresses
Following the arrest of Mrs. Pank-
hurst riot broke out on Constitution
hill. Mounted police tried to clear
the streets, but the women formed
themselves into a compact mob and
fought savagely. The mounted police
charged into the mass of feminfty,
smashing at the heads of the leaders
with their heavy police batons. The
yells of the enraged women drowned
out the thuds of the truncheons as
they fell with crushing force upon
the heads or the shoulders of the
women.
Within half an hour 40 women were
placed under arrest, charged with
assaulting policemen, rioting, melting
to riot, impeding traffic, resisting ar
rest and disorderly conduct.
