MAY RENEW ATTACK
Little Doubt, 1t Is Said, of Ap-
peal to President Against
Excise Board.
WILL DELIVER FINDINGS
OF SENATE COMMITTEE
Belief Expressed That No Action
Will Be Taken Unless New Evi-
dence Is Submitted.

President Wilson has not received the
official report OF the Senate committees
which conducted the investigation into
the excise board and which charged
the board with evadiug and peryertinE
the law in a manner favorable to the
saloon interests. II IL presumed tina
,py of the report will be submitted
to the President from some direction.
although the investigation was with
out initiation from the White House
and was intended to inform the Sena1.
as to certain charges that had been
made.
There is little doubt. it was said to-
day. that anti-liquor interests will not
only see that the President is present
ed with copy of the report, but that
they Will follow IL with charges to tn,
President against members of tho
board, in an attempt to have the Pres
dent remove those who have been 50
severely criticised. This would bring
on hot fight. and, to a degree, in
voive the President in the prohibition

Views of an Official.
A we'll informed official. who knows
the situation around the White House.
said today that he did not believe the
President would take any action upon
the report. even IL it is submitted to
him in conjunction with accusations
against the board. Should the charges
bring forward fresh material the
President might be called upon. it is
said, to make an investigation of his
own through a specially selected rep
resentative.
The intimation today was that the
end of the fight on the excise board
a IA he
will be carried to the White House
| in the hope that it will result in resie-
nations or retirements. The persons
who were instrumental in securing the
passage through the Senate of tho
| resolution of investigation will con
tinue their efforts. according 10 to-
days view. to obtain an overhauliug

Members of the excise board are
practically responsible to the Presi-
dent only. They were named by him
and confirmed by the Senate. The Dis
trict Commissioners have little. II any,

stand, and the President is the only
one who could make a change in the

With Adjournment of Congress
President Will Give More
Time to Affairs Abroad.
FIVE NEGOTIATIONS
ARE NOW PENDING
All Relate to Subject of Maritime
Warfare and the Rights
Of Neutrals.

With the adjournment of Congress,
1t IL generally believed President Will
son and his cabinet will give almost
exclusive attention to the foreign situa-
ton, and that in the next few days the
replies to the various diplomatic notes
from the belligerents will be taken up.
1t has not been decided whether all
unanswered communications shall be
treated in one formal comprehensive
note to the belligerents, or whether the
separate character of the different
steps will be preserved. To date the
United States government has pending
five separate negotiations. all related
to the subject of maritime warfare and
the rights Of neutrals.
First. Great Britain's preliminary OBJ
servations and the complete reply to
the American note of protest of De-
cember % concerning the treatment of
American commerce generally by the
British fleet have not been answered,
being superseded. SO far as considera-
ton is concerned, by other and more
pressing developments.
Second. Great Britain's reply to the
American note warning her against the
measure of responsibility that would
seem to be imposed should American
vessels be attacked on account of fic-
titious use of neutral flags has not been
answered. The statement of the Ameri-
can position in this note probably will
not be reiterated, but the United States
is expected to stand on the warning
already given.
Germany's Reply Unanswered.
Third Germany's reply to the note
from the United States stating that
Germany would be held to a strict &C
countability for any attacks on Ameri-
can vessels or lives in the new marine
war zone has also been left unanswer-
ed. This. too. probably will be con-
tinued in further correspondence only
In SO far as it relates to the general sit
uation, the warning given being re-
garded as adequately conserving Amer
lean rights.
Fourth. The proposals from the United
states to Germany and Great Britain
for the removal of mines, the aban-
donment of submarine warfare on mer-
chant ships and an arrangement by
which the civilian population of a bel
dgerent may import food supplies and
conditional contraband IL the distribu-
ton Is supervised by American organi-
cations or agencies have been answered
by Germany alone: An answer from
Great Britain is still awaited.
Fifth. The American government has
under consideration the most recent
note from Great Britain and France to
all neutral governments announcing
that the allies would hold themselves
at liberty to stop all commerce between
Germany and neutral countries. A re-
ply to this communication also is un-
der consideration.

ATTORNEY SULLIVAN
INDICTED AGAIN
Accused of Embedding Funds.
Twenty-Five True Bills
Returned.

The grand jury today returned an in
dictment for embezzlement against
Michael w. Sullivan, member of the
bar. charging that he appropriated
S91.52 collected on a claim due the
Post-Higbie Company. a Delaware cor
poration. Mr.. Sullivan was acquitted
yesterday before Chief Justice Coving-
ton in Criminal Division / ON a vari-
ance between the allegation of for
mer indictment that the money be-
longed to Alfred Higbie, when the
proof showed that Higbie had trans
ferred the claim to the corporation.
The grand jury ignored two charges
of homicide. John p. Thomas, motor
man of a car that caused the death of
George f. Dove last fall, was exonerat-
ed, as was John Burgess, colored, who is
now serving time in the penitentiary
for an assault on Clayton Liverpool
The victim died after Burgess had
been sentenced, but an autopsy dis
closed the fact that death was due to
another cause. A charge of assault with
a dangerous weapon was also ignored
by the grand jury.

THE MERR|MACK
BRIDGE MONEY

A committee consisting of j. L. Cald-
we'll of Lodi, w. E. Smith of West
Point, L. @. Smith and F. A. Cooper of
Merrimack and John Pearsons of Gale
donia was appointed at the Merrimack
bridge meeting held last Wednesday
evening to interview the contributors
at Baraboo as to releasing the money
which was subscribed to aid in the
Merrimack bridge proposition. When
the meeting was held on We'd
nesday letter from Baraboo
was read stating that since Inc bridge
will not be, the subscribers expect their
money back. There are two funds, one
to assist with the legislation and other
expenses and one to assist Caledonia in
providing the necessary fund of $500
from that town. Of the former sum
nearly all has been spent. Of the lat
ter sum Baraboo contributed about 1928
and the subscribers feel that this should
be returned. 1t was to aid Caledonia
and not Merrimack and for that reason
should be paid back to the con-
tributors. Most of the Merrimack
people want the money to
remain in bank to see if something
will not turn up or give it to help build
a ferry. Some of the Baraboo subscrib-
ers say this money should come back
and in case Merrimack needs aid in the
future they will he glad to contribute
again. In case this is not returned they
will not feel like doing SO. There was
much discussion at the meeting last
Wednesday and the whole thing will be
gone over at another meeting to be held
at future date.

OVER
NEW SPARTA DEPOT
AS To THE COST

That the $205, 900 railroad estimat
of the cost of the proposed union de-
pot at Sparta is exorbitant and that in
reality the Improvement would involve
only about $50, 600 the approxima e
ton of the commission in an order for
its erection-were declarations of ex-
Senator Howard Teasdale at hearing
conducted before the railroad commiss-
| ion at Madison.
The commission in an order issued
several months ago instructed the Chi
cago & Northwestern and the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul railway compan-
les to make the improvement. The
commission estimated the cost at $32,
900.
The companies recently petitioned for
rehearing on the matter, maintain
ing that the estimates of the commiss-
ion was far below the sum involved.
TIE railroads hold that the depot would
cost approximately $75. 900 and that a
subway, connecting the tracks of the
Northwestern with those of the Mil
waukee, would involve the expenditure
of an additional $780,
Senator Teasdale maintains that a
subway such as the railroads propose,
and which we think unnecessary, could
be lined with gold for $130, 000."
The depot, if re-ordered, will be To-
Gated lin the center of the city of
Sparta.
Mayor Charles Nc MILAN and other
prominent citizens of Sparta attended
the hearing.
