CHARTER FOR MOSINEE BANK
kuolt Approves Ruling OF State Ref
cree Board Much Against
His Will.

Madison.-Against his better judg.
ment, but complying with the ruling
of the referee board that the statel
banking department has no discretion
in the matter, Commissioner of Bank
ing A. E. Kuolt has approved articles
of Incorporation for the Farmers State
bank Of Mosinee, Marathon county.
Commissioner Kuolt first denied the
charter on the ground that the VILLAGE
was already adequately supplied with
banking facilities and that certain pro-
moters of the new bank have business
records which warranted him in going
slow in approving their application
The board of review decided that the
law is unconstitutional. The commits
sioner declared that the board is not
a court, and it should have upheld his
decision on the showing of facts made
by him.

action of the committee was ordered
by a vote of eight to four.
Under the plan, which has been
carefully studied by the committee for
many weeks, the various states must
cooperate with the federal govern

KING GEORGE SEEKING
PEACE IN ULSTER WAH
He Summons Representatives of All
Parties to Conference About Ire
Iand-To Receive Delegates.

London, July 21.-Representativ
Irish homo rule matter have been
summoned to a conference by King
George, and this active step by his
majesty has created general expec
tation that the question will be solved
peaceably. The king acted only aftei
many meetings of the leaders OF the
factions had failed of result.
Leaders Of the unionists, Irish union,
lists (Ulstermen), liberals and nation
alists have agreed to the royal sug
gestion and the conference will take
place at very early date.
The king himself will receive the
delegates, but it is unlikely that he
will preside. Probably the conferences
itself will elect it's chairman.
This important advance in the stu
alton follows the negotiations carried
out at the instance Of King George
during the last week end. His majesty
considered the situation so grave that
he delayed his departure for Ports
mouth to review the feet.
Despite the optimism raised by this
announcement, there is still the fear
of an armed uprising In county Ty'
rome, which both Irish parties claim.
II Tyrone Is excluded from home rule
the nationaiists threaten to rise. If II
is put under the projected Irish parlia'
ment the covenanters declare they will
rush to arms.

Ex-Dictator Sails on German Cruiser

Puerto Mexico, July 22.-General
Huerta at last has left Mexico and
gone on board the German cruiser
Dresden which will take him first to
Jamaica. He did not want to go yet
but was persuaded by his wife and
friends after two officers had been ar
rested for attempting to incite the sol
diers here to assassinate him.
Without the slightest furore and
with no touch Of the dramatic except
the presence along the water front Of
half hundred ragged, barefoot sol
diers of the Twenty-ninth regiment,
and the Zaragoza brigade, Huerta left
the country~whese destiny he has done
so much to shape 1t was the irony OF
fate that the last view of his native
land that came to him was the picture
of the United States warship Tacoma,
representing the power of the hostile
nation that, forced him to abdicate his
dictatorship.

BETTER THAN USUAL
Bulletin Of Agricultural Department
Says Their Condition Is Away
Above the Average.

Washington, July 22.-The com
posite condition of crops In the United
States ON July 1 was about LA above
their average condition on that date
according to the farmers bulletin is
sued by the United States department
Of agriculture
Last year the July 1 condition of
all crops was 1T per cent below the
ten-year average and the final report
of the year was 81 per cent COnse-
quently present conditions are about
81 per cent better than the outturn
of crops last year.
The July forecast Of this years
wheat crop Is $50 100000 bushels. the
largest ever produced. exceeding last
years crop, which was itself rec
ord crop, by about, 167. 000, 900 bushels.
The average production OF the past
five years was about 6S6.00O, 900 BUSH
els.
The total area Of cigar tobacco In
cultivation Is 172.900 acres compared
with 10000 In 1913. an increase Of
2.s per cent.
The area Of sugar beet planted
shows falling OF from last year Of
10. per cent. Idaho and Utah are the
only states to show an increase.
The bulletin states that any short
age of cars this year to move the
crops will result more from lack Of
motive power and terminal facilities
than from lack of cars. Shippers and
carriers are cooperating more this
year than ever before in their efforts
to avert car shortage In the move
ment of the wheat crop.

EAU CLAIRE LOSES
IN DELLS DAM CASE.
JUDGE REID GIVES DECISION IN
FAVOR OF IMPROVEMENT
COMPANY.
WAS IN COURT SINCE 1906
CITY VIII Appeal the Case-Litigation
involved Rights and Privl-
Ieges to DeIls Dam OF
Eau Claire.

Eau Claire.-By the decision hand-
ed down by Judge A. Fl. Reid or Wau-
sau, before whom the case was tried
here last February, the city OF Eau
Claire is the loser in the famous DellsI
dam case, while. the Dells Improve.
ment company and the Dells Paper 81
Pulp Co. of this city are victors. The
city will appeal.
The litigation, which had been hang
ing fire in the courts since 1906, in
volved rights and privileges to the
Dells dam in this city, which was built
by the city ia 1877 and leased to the
plaintiffs for a term Of ninety-nine
years for the consideration Of 81 per
year.
The city assailed the ninety-nine
year contract, holding it invalid, con-
tending among other things that such
a contract was in abuse of discretion
airy power of the city and contrary to
public policy, and that the city had
no power to make such a contract.
The court denied these contentious.
The city also contended that the
Dells people had violated certain pro-
visions of the contract and hence had
forfeited their rights, giving the city
right to seize the dam; but the court
ruled that although such violations
had occurred, that thescity had waived
it's forfeiture rights by certain acts of
it's common council, since the contract
was entered into. 1t is said 5000 to
10000 horsepower is developed by the
dam.

RAILROADS BOTH
GAIN AND LOSE
. Commerce Commission Com
pIetes the Rate Decision.
FLAT INCREASE IS DENIED
2alses on Class Freights Allowed
That VIII Amount to $15,o00,oo0
Annually-FinanciaI Misman-
aaement and Waste Scored.

Washington. july 21.-The rail-
roads that asked leave to make five
per cent raise in freight rates both
win and lose by the decision OF the
Interstate commerce commission,
which is now practically ready for Is
guance. 1t was completed at meet
ing of the commission Monday.
A measurable increase in class rates
Is granted.
Nc increases whatever are allowed
ON commodities.
No fiat five per cent increase Is
granted on any commodity or upon
any class rate.
To that extent the decision will be
sweepingly unfavorable to the car
rfers.
Increases In class rates amounting
to $15,000,00O annually are authorized
To that extent the decision Will be
favorable to the roads.
Economies which will save the east
ern lines probably $25,000,OO0 a year
are insisted upon by the commission.
The financial mismsnagement OF
many of the lines will be cited as
reason why efficiency and economy
must take the place Of added revenue
from rates.
Extravagance and waste in the pur>
chase of supplies are condemned by
the commissioners.
The roads are rebuked by the com
mission for an attempt to create a
public sentiment in favor Of an In.
crease.
Any increase, the commisslo
will say, higher than that allowed IN
the forthcoming order would fall upon
the consumer and the consumer Will
be warned against any dealer who
charges more for his goods by reason
Of the decision.
These in general are the big and Inn
portant phases of the commissions re-
port as printed. But few II any
changes will be made before 1t is given
cut. An increase possibly may be al
Iowed on two commodities. but hardly
upon more.
Specifically, the commission has de-
B1e0 ali increases Whatever I'd Inc TstAk
roads upon commodities. This Is nat
urally blow to the carriers.
Eighty per cent of the traffic OF the
transportation lines involved consists
Of commodity freight-that is. freight
that moves in bulk and usually in car
load lots.
The commodities which the commits
sion has declined to order advances
upon as cited In the printed order are
as follows,
Coal Coke, ore. limestone, sand
gravel, plaster, cement, stone. lumber
other forest products, tiles, brick. clay
paper in pulp, ice, -four. grain and pc
tro1eum.
In addition to this list the commits
SION has refused all advances on the
so-called rail-and-lake rates. The rates
apply on freight that is shipped partly
by steamer on the great lakes ant
partly by rail. 1t consists mainly o.
ore, coal and grain, though there are
many other commodities that move b.
that ro1te.

THE BAD BOY PROBLEM

Editor Day Book:-Miss Harriet
N. Dunn has protested against the
child-saving work of Jack Robbins.
She apparently is alarmed at the
growing tendency E. . to secure con-
troll of the wards of our state. to rear
according to their own idea on farms
and ranches in almost every state in
the union" She quotes Gov. Dunno
as having protested against this "un-
constitutional act. She says nothing
to prove that the rearing of children
according to the idea of Jack Robbins
and others interested, such as Upton
Sinclair, Jack London and Robert
Hunter, has harmed the boys whose
vicious youth has been nurtured in
the atmosphere of Illinois. She takes
it that the disapproval of Gov. Dunno
is an argument in itself. l ask, if this
thing is unconstitutional, why does
Gov. Dunno merely protest? Why is
a governor? And why is state con-
stitution?
Then she says that if the ''infa-
nous Juvenile Court law was amend
ed we would need no Jack Robbins
and she quotes from the Hon. Judge
