ATTACK ON STATE
FOREST PROJECT
QUESTION OF VALIDITY OF LAW
is RAISED IN ARGUMENT
IN SUPREME COURT.
ACTION is A FRIENDLY ONE
State Treasurer Declines to Pay Fur
ther Until His Rights and
Liabilities Are Fully Settled
in Highest Tribunal.

Madison.-Wisconsin forestry pro-
Ject hangs in the balance before the
supreme court. The constitutionality
OF the forestry law, has been raised
as to whether forestry work is not an
internal improvement prohibited by
the constitution and the forestry land
contracts debts that exceed the limita-
ton of 100000 fixed by the constitu-
ton. Under present plans the state
forestry reserve would ultimately COM
prise about 100000 acres.
The state treasurer has declined to
make further payment until these
points are settled. Tue forestry de-
partment as represented by Atty-Gen.
Owen. The questions at issue are:
% Are the land contracts made
by the forestry department in the pur-
chase of land debts in violation Of the
constitution?
(2) Is the practice of forestry a
public purpose?
90 Is the entire forestry work as
internal improvement and as such pro-
hibited by the constitution?
The suit is friendly one to test the
validity of the law and its purposes.

railway companies and light, heat and
power companies operated in connec-
ton with them was made by the tax
commission today and entered upon
the roll as constituting the assess
ment for the year 1914. The result
is that the amount of taxes levied
against these companies for the pres
ent year is $2l0,S52 greater than for
the year 1913, the valuations being In
creased $6,900,000 and the rate OF as

The largest assessment is that made

The valuation placed upon the

D0OMS HIS LIFE FOR LEPER
Veteran at Milwaukee Soldiers Home
Volunteers to Nurse Inmate
Afflicted With Malady.

Milwaukee.-Fred w. Curtenius, an
inmate of the National Soldiers home,
crowned his honorable war record
with calm act of heroism when he
voluntarily entombed himself for the
rest of his life to become the attend
ant nurse of victim of leprosy at the
Soldiers home, knowing that he too,
in all human probability, will contract
the malady.
Curtenius destroyed every record of
his former life save his honorable dis
charge from the Thirty-fourth regi-
ment, U. s. Infantry, in which he serv.
ed through the Spanish-American war,
and entered the little shack on the
home grounds that has been assigned
to Vernon d. Bennett, the recently dis
covered leper.
When the surgeon general of the
home pronounced Bennett leper, a
call was made for volunteers for the
position of nurse. 1t was explained
that it meant death, for it is almost
certain that in the years that must
pass before the patient dies, the nurse
will have contracted the disease.

Roadstead Leading to Porto

Sir Francis Drake.

San Juan, Porto Rico--Lke other
harbors which l have described in this
series, that of San Juan, Porto Rico,
Is truly romantic and majestic, says
Roger w. Babson in Public Ledger.
There are many San Juans in these
southern seas, but this certainly is
San Juan Bautista and well chosen to
be the entrance to the capital of Porto
Rico In addition, however, to the
physical and scenic attractions Of this
harbor, l ran across tragic side.
This harbor was the scene of one of
the most pathetic of the sea stories of
England, the story of the last voyage
of Admiral Hawkins and Francis
Drake. These great Elizabethan sail
ors got together a fleet and put out
from Plymouth in 1896. The voyage
was disastrous from the beginning.
After suffering reverses at the Canar
les and Marie Galante the fleet arrived
off San Juan. The aged admiral died
when land was sighted and Drake then
took command. At break of day, the
Eaglish fleet appeared off the forts.
After several attacks in which the In
vincible Drake was repulsed, the Eng
lish fleet bore away beaten
The capital Of Porto Rico will for
ever associate with the life and times
of that most romantic adventurer,
Juan Poncesde Leon. This pictur-
esque Castilian was a soldier of for
tune who had already served in many
campaigns before he embarked with
Columbus on his second voyage in
1893. In 1909 Ponce de Leon was ap-
pointed governor Of Porto Rico. where
two years later he founded the city
OF San Juan Bautista. Here he lived
