COMPANY &c" MADE
A SPLENDID RECORD
Local Military Organization Carried
Off Honors at Rifle Practice at
Saunders Range This Week -
Lieut. Collins Makes Highest Mark

Saunders Range This Week -
Lieut. Collins Makes Highest Mark
Company &C." the local military
organiza tion, succeeded in carrying
off the honors at the practice
events held at Saunders Range
this week. Captain Hirst left with
forty-three men Monday, and on ac-
count of being compelled to return
Thursday evening, practically only
two days of the four were open to
the Company, but despite this han
dieap, the men showed the effects
of the excellent training which
they have had, and succeeded in
Qualifying more expert riflemen
than any other three companies.
Lieut.. Collins carried off the hon
ors, qualifying with the highest
mark of any member shooting at
the Range The Company had sew
en- members to qualify as experts,
six as sharpshooters, twelve as
marksmen and fourteen as First
Glass men.
In a match between teams COM
posed of two squads from each
of the companies remaining on the
Range, the two squads from Com
pany C won over like squads from
Company M, of Annapolis, and E,
of Elkton, by 14O points, making
237 hits out of 432 rounds fired,
or an average of over fifty per
cent, which is very high. The
score was: Company c, TAI; Com
,pany M, 900; Company E, 451.
No doubt if the members of the
Company had arrived at the Range
at the same time as the companies
located more accessibly the record
which they made would have been
still better But handicapped as
they were, through lack of practice
on the Range, and necessity OF
shooting before becoming thorough
ly rested from their trip,the rec
ord made is one of which they
should indeed be very proud.

TERROR RETGNS IN INDIA

The terror in which the Brtish-Indian authort-
ties hold the Hindu nihilists was shown at its
worst when Lord Hardnge recently paid visit
to Calcutta, the whiIom capital of Hindustan, the
Literary Digest states. Disregarding the &C
counts penned by Hindu writer's as likely to ex-
aggerate the alarm of their rulers, quotations
taken from the Englishman (Calcutta) to indi-
cate the elaborate nature of the precautions on
this occasion Describing the journey from Delhi
to Calcutta and back, the paper, owned, edited
and printed by Englishmen for Englishmen in
India and their relatives in England, says:
THE sections Of the line between Delhi and
Calcutta over which the viceroy's train passed
at night time were lit by torch bearers standing
at regular intervals. Near Calcutta the torch
bearers were not many PAGES apart. His excel
lency came and went through a veritable avenue
of torches"
From the authority we learn that the
station at which the viceroy arrived and departed
was swept bare of it's picturesque throngs"
The paper adds the following in regard to the
Indian government while he was in Calcutta:
$50 far were they (the people, kept from the
actual point of the road where his exceIlency
was due to pass that they did not even have the
satisfaction Of catching glimpse of him as he
shot by in a swift motor car. There were no
crowds to watch the public entry into Calcutta,
because the crowds we're kept away.

northern Calcutta at all. The foundation stone

WOULD AID NOTED WRITERS
Daughter of President Coming to Ma
Olson for Launching of New
Magazine.

Madison.-The White House re-
fused to confirm the report that the
presidents eldest daughter, Miss Mar
garet Wilson, is to be associate editor
of the Social Center Magazine of Mad
ison, but it is unofficially acknowl-
edged.
Miss Wilson will be associated in
this work with DR.. Frederick G. Howe
of New York, Miss iona Gale, Herbert
Quick and other noted social workers
interested in the converting of public
schools INTO social centers.
1t is understood that Miss Wilson
consented to go on the editorial staff
only when it was shown to her what
a great impetus her work on the mag
azine would give the movement.
Friends say that the magazine work
will necessitate Miss Wilson's absence
from Washington much of the time.
Miss Wilson will go to Madison in
June to personally assist in launching
the magazine venture.

Near Cleveland, Ohio-Nation-
Wide Search Ended.

Milwaukee, dispatch from Cleve
land says: The mystery surrounding
the disappearance of the Rev Louis
Patmont of Milwaukee from Westville,
H., on March 81, was partially solved
here, after a nation wide search, by
the Identification of the body of man
slain, as that of the missing ''dry"
worker. The Identification was made
by brother, Gear Patmont, of Can
ton, 0.
The body of the Rev. Mr.. Patmont
was found along the Big Four railway
tracks, southwest of the city, on April
6. The coroner decided at that time
that a murder had been committed
and that the remains had been thrown

mont had been holding revival SER
vices at Westville in the interests of a
local option campaign then being
waged. 1t was charged at the time he
vanished that he had been slain or
kidnapped by partisans and Gov. Dunno
was appealed to in vain to send militia
to help solve the mystery.

As to the why such unheard of precau-

lowing opinion
"The government, because of its enormous
sources of information, has better Of
knowing than the public the strength and range
of the terrorist organization. We can however,
only judge Of what the government does know
from the nature Of the precautions it takes. If
the precautions grow more and more elaborate,
the only explanation is that the police have more
reason to be afraid
One expected all kinds of things from the visit
of the viceroy to Calcutta, but the only thing
that has emerged is the fact that the govern
ment has no offensive weapon against terrorism,
and has, therefore, to surround itself with such
a heavy defensive armor that its activities are
either hindered or completely interrupted"

OPPOSES PLAN Of
BANKING BOARD
NORTHERN WISCONSIN DEVEL.
OPMENT ASSOCIATION TO
ENTER PROTEST.
AGAINST DISTRICT CHANGES
Meeting at Wausau on May 5 and to
Consider Annexing Wisconsin
Territory to Minneapolis
District.

Wausau.-Because of the general
feeling of dissatisfaction throughout
the upper half of Wisconsin regarding
the action of the federal reserve board
in making this portion of the state
part of the Minneapolis district, the
organization meeting of the Northern
Wisconsin Development association,
which will be held in this city from
May to 6, will present a special pro-
gram of protest and enter a formal
protest with the board.
One of the basic principles of the
federal reserve bank law regarding
the apportionment of territory in that
'the district shall be apportioned with
due regard to the convenience and
customary course of business" The
trend of commerce in this section of
the state has been southwark, making
Milwaukee and Chicago the logical
banking and traction centers. In the
belief that the apportionment of the
federal board will be a detriment to
the financial well being of the state
the matter will be taken up by the
various financial and other organiza.
tons, including the Northern Wiscon-
sin Development association
The new organization will be COM
pleted at this meeting in May, at
which new constitution will be rati
fed. The organization meeting in
Wausau will be attended by country
bankers, school superintendent, rail
road representatives members of the
legislature, secretaries of most of the
commercial clubs and bankers from
Milwaukee and Chicago.

CUT POST0FFICE COST

WISCONSIN BUILDINGS.
National Public Building Commission
Plan Would Give New Struc-

Badger Cities.

Madison.-A marked scaling down
of limits Of cost of government build
ings authorized for Wisconsin is rec
commended in the report of the public
buildings commission made public at
Washington. If its recommendations
are followed, however, many Wiscon-
sin cities will be given public build
ings because their postofice receipts

Two buildings were authorized for
Wisconsin prior to 1913 and not acted
on by November of that year. They
are Fort Atkinson, S48, 500 and Sparta
$4,000. According to the plan sug-
gested by the commission these
amounts would be cut down to $4,000
and $4,000. In the act of 1918 the
