STRANGER SAYS He is DlETz
Tells Eastern Papers Secured Pardon
From President For Famous
Cameron Dam Defender.

Mllwaukee.-Reports are again being
received regarding man who claims to
be Leslie Dietz, son of the Cameron
dam defender, and says he walked
from Winter, Wis, to Washington, d.
o., to see the president and obtain a
pardon for his father. A few days ago
the supposed Leslie Dietz arrived at
Baltimore, Nd, and declared he had
secured an interview with President
Wilson, that the latter had promised
to pardon the elder Dietz, and had al
ready signed the necessary papers
The supposed Dietz visited offices of
Baltimore newspapers and claimed to
nave presented to the president a ne.
tition with 100000 signatures. He
said he had started on his long walk
Ing trip almost two years ago, visit
ing many states. According to word
received from Chippewa Falls Leslie
Dietz was in that city on Dec. to
attend the opening of the Metropol-
itan theater, in which he is interested.
He left there for Mayville, Wis.
The members of the Dietz family
have been showing moving pictures of
the adventures of their father and
themselves during the Cameron dam
affair, and have been making large
profits out of their enterprise. In ad-
dition, they have been showing at
moving picture houses in all parts Of
Wisconsin and have sold their rights
in other states where they could not
appear personally. They. reserved for
themselves, however, the rights for
Minnesota, Michigan and Illinois.
About six weeks ago a man claim
ing to be Leslie Dietz walked into the
Office of the New York Globe and con-
vinced the editors he was genuine. He
said he was completing walk of 3d.
600 miles and had obtained 100000
signatures to a petition requesting
that his father be pardoned. He stat
ed at that time he was leaving New
York for Washington. He did not seek
money.
At the time of the New York Incl
dent members of the Dietz family
issued a statement scoring the man
as an imposter and denying that Les
lie Dietz had been in any of the cities
mentioned.
The family is unable to explain the
actions of the stranger. Thus far ali
efforts to take him into custody have
been unsuccessful.

carried to the Goggins farm as the
result of visits. An outbreak of the

discovered on the Clark Harris farm
near Delavan.
In the territory where the disease is
prevalent people should not visit each
others FARMS" said DR.. o. III. Ella

GETS MANDAMus OF HIGH TRI.
suNAL TO EXPEDITE sENA-
ToRIAL RECOUNT.
CASE COMES UP DECEMBER 8
Election canvassing Boards Must Ger
tify Immediately to Their Re-
spective County Clerks in
Three Counties.

Madison.-Justice ]. B. Winslow OF
the Wisconsin Supreme court, on petit
ton of Paul o. Husting of Mayville,
democratic claimant of the election as
United States senator, issued an al
tentative writ of mandamus requiring
the county board of election canvass
ers of Milwaukee, Dane and Douglas
counties to certify Immediately to
their respective county clerks their
determination of the vote for United
States senator as originally canvass
ed, and requiring the clerks of the
three counties to transmit to the Sec
rotary of state such returns and the
state board of canvassers to canvass
such returns on or before Dec. 10.
The petition. sets forth that Gov.
McGovern asked for recounts of the
senatorial votes in the three counties
in question and that such recounts are
not likely to be completed until the
middle of next year. 1t is alleged that
the petitions for recounts were filed
for the purpose of securing undue de-
lay in the final canvass. The author
ity of the state board of canvassers, it
is alleged, will expire on Dec. 10. If
the returns to the state board are can
vassed without the returns from Mil
waukee, Dane and Douglas counties,
Mr.. Husting says, the result may show
that Gov. McGovern has an apparent
plurality of 5000 votes, whereas, Mr..
Husting declares, he himself has a
plurality of over LOO votes.

SINGLE ACTION IS

MGovERN WANTS CANVASS
STOPPED UNTIL ALL PRE-

WANT SEPARATE DECISIONS
Assistant District Attorney Lyman G.
Wheeler Advises Board to
Adopt the Governors
Suggestion.

Milwaukee.-To obviate the neces-
sity of about one hundred seventy
possible appeals to the courts and con-
solidate the action into single case,
Thomas Mahon, attorney for Gov. Nc
Govern in the senatorial contest, made
a demand upon the board of canvass
ers for single determination" of the
result of the recount. The demand
asks that mo final determination of
any of the issues raised in the de-
mand for recount be finally deter
mined until all of such precincts have
been Investigated"
The point has been raised that I'M
der section IS of the election laws a
determination" may be reached by
precincts as the recount of each pre-
cinct is completed The law requires
that an appeal to The courts shall be
made within five days after the de
termination" is reached If the point
raised that determination of the
facts could be made by precincts, a
separate appeal to the courts might
be required for every one of the ITO
precincts in which the senatorial con-
test is in progress. This would in
volve the senatorial contest in legal
complications, it is said, which would
require months to untangle.
Lyman G. Wheeler, special assistant
district attorney, appeared before the
board OF canvassers and advised the
board of, canvassers to adopt the
course urged by Mr.. Mahon in his de-
mand upon the board.

LOOK FOR ARMY-WORN MOTHS
WITH ONE COLORED WING.
U. S. Department of Agriculture Re-
quests the Public's Assistance in
Determining the Habits of
Troublesome Pest.

Washington, ID. C.-Everyone inter-
ested in the destruction of the army
worm pest is being requested by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture to look out for army-worm moths
with one artificially-colored wing. The
departments entomologists are catch
ing army-worm moths where they are
plentiful, coloring one wing each,
and then liberating them in the same
territory, so that they may determine
whether these moths fly directly west,
or north, and how quickly and far they
will spread. A better knowledge of
the habits of this pest should enable
the department TO control its spread.
No moths are to be let loose where
their liberation could possibly add to
the natural damage.
The moths are already showing
themselves in Virginia ana in Mary
land, and the departments agents are
catching specimens at Portsmouth and
Charlottesville in Virginia, and Hag-
erstown in Maryland. The agents at
Portsmouth are applying a red stain
to one wing of each specimen caught
those at Charlottesville black or yell
low stain; and those at Hagerstown, a
violet color. Then the moths are left

Nj. A. c. is MAKING EFFORT TO
CHECK DISEASE OF CATTLE.

Lansing.-The archaeological de-
partment of the Michigan Agricultural
college will mail out thousands of bull
letins to Michigan farmers, setting
forth measures for the checking of a
disease of cattle known as infectious
abortion" This disease has been max
ing such inroads upon Michigan herds
that it is exercising a reign of terror
over animal husbandry," according to
DR.. Ward Giltner, acting professor of
bacteriology at NJ. A. C. No sure cure
for the affliction has yet been discov-
cred. 1t makes sterile most of the
animals infected
Our experience, gained by CONVEX
sation, correspondence and personal
inspection indicate that the disease
is distributed throughout the state in
the pure bred herds especially, but
also in the herds without breeding"
declared DR.. Giltner.
There is popular and urgent de-
mand from all parts Of the state for
information relative to the afflictiOn,
and it is in an effort to satisfy this
demand that the college is present
ing in bulletins from the known facts
concerning the disease as they now
appear to us. We must confess ig-
norance of many features of the
trouble and an inability to outline any
entirely satisfactory plan of control.
"Many European and American in
vestigators are studying the various
phases of the diseases with the one
object of discovering some means of
checking it."
