GOING TO MILWAUKEE,.
Kenosha Council of K. of G. to Send a
Hundred Bowlers Tonight.

The Kenosha Council of the Knights
OF Columbus is going to bowl in Mil
waukee tonight and it is expected that
nearly a hundred of the members of the
local council will leave on the special
train over the Chicago and Milwaukee
Electric. The Milwaukee Knights
have made great arrangements for the
entertainment Of the Kenosha visitors
and a half dozen bowling alleys have
been reserved for the night. It is ex-
pected that each council will be repre-
sented by no less than ten teams.
These bowling matches between Mil
waukee and Kenosha have been held
for the past three years and the Keno
sha bowlers have slight lead. After
the rolling is over this evening the Ke-
nosha members Of the order will be
banqueted at the club rooms of the
Milwaukee council.

General Statement.

1t has often been remarked that du-
Iring the past ten years the cost Of the
university has much increased This is
true; but this is explained by the fact
that the university is doing vastly more
for the state than it ever did before.
/ The university costs much because it
does much. Ten years ago, in 1904,
the number Of students was 1854, as
compared with 6,765 IN 1854. In 9th
er words the university has more than
doubled in attendance in ten years. Du-
ring this same ten years the university
has granted more degrees than in all its
previous history, CLOG, from July L,
/ 1904, to June 80, 1914, as compared with
1915 for all the previous years.
| Also formerly the work Of the uni
veristy was confined to instruction and
research. Less than ten years ago the
Extension movement was inaugurated
which now reaches every corner of the
state Similarly the laboratory of hy-
giene and the forest products labora-
tory have been founded during the past
decade.
/ The statements which have been made
ARE sufficient to show that the material
wealth of the state has increased each
year several to many times II cost of
the university to the state. 1t is there
fore safe to say that had the state in
vested less in the university the state
would be poorer today. Indeed it would
| be hard to give another illustration in
which any investment of the state has
yielded larger material returns.
| But it should be remembered that all
material wealth is for man. If our state
becomes noted for its beautiful cities,
tits commodious farmsteads, it's great in
dustries, and its enormous agricultural
productivity, these would be as nothing
If this wealth were not turned into So
lcial channels, which lead to the develop
ment of men and women of the highest
TYPE. The central purpose of the uni
versity must be to train efficient high
minded men and women.
At the present time it may be said
that the direct influence of the univer-
/ sity reaches hundreds of thousands of
people of the state, and that her indi-
lreet influence through her teaching and
those whom she has taught extends to
many additional thousands; but [ shall
never be content until the university is
| felt to be benefcient influence in the
| life Of every citizen of the state.

DECIDES wEIGHTY QUESTION.
Judge Belden Hands Down Decision
Showing What a Meat Market is.

In the circuit court this morning
Judge Belden handed down decision
defining a meat market and in con-
nection with this definition he dismis-
sed the complaint Of Charles Bisno
against Joseph Jurken. Jurken had
leased a building from Bisno with the
understanding that it was to be used as
a neat market and Bisno claimed that
the lease had been violated on account
of the man dealing in certain forms of
provisions, In his decision Judge Beld-
en- held that the term meat market
could be applied to any store which
handled provisions which the laws had
held came under the category of meats.
He held that possibly Jurken had made
trifing violations of the lease but that
these were not worthy of consideration.
Under the decision of the court the in
junction secured against Jurken was
dismissed.

quires an understanding Of the scientific
methods as applied to his dairy products
and farm crops, and as a consequence he
lives a broader intellectual life.

Research of the University.
To tell Of the lines of research carried
on at the university for the benefit of
the state would require much time. I
can only give q partial list Of some Of
the advances which have come from the
investigations of the university.
When the campaign for the improve
ment of the dairy industry began in Hi
ram Smith Hall about twenty years ago,
the value of the dairy product in this
state was $4,000, 900; it now $4,000 900.
Varieties of corn have been developed
adapted to the various sections Of the
state, and already the yield for the
state has increased, because of the dis
tribution of this corn, from five to
twelve bushels an acre more than other
varieties of corn.
Also varieties of barley and oats have
been introduced, the yield of which is
from five to ten bushels per acre great
er than before these seeds were used.
| The wealth of the state is increased
ANNUALLY many millions of dollars by
the development and introduction of
these high-bred seeds.
| On the protective side plant diseases
have been eliminated which formerly
caused loss of from FIVE to ten million
dollars year.
Recently the marketing and social
sides of farming have been taken up
and number of bulletins published, the
purpose being to introduce better bust
ness and better living on the farm, pre-
cisely as better agricultural methods
have been introduced.
In the college of engineering many in
vestigations have been carried on which
relate to the industries of the state. II

WOMEN TELL OF THE STABBING
One Man Arrested and Police Refuse to
Give Him Hearing Until Man Who
was Injured has Been Located
Secrecy is Maintained in the Case.

Following a trail Of blood the police
are seeking to find the solution Of a
mystery connected with a stabbing af
fray which took place at the boarding
house of Mrs. Mary Frajeach, s62 Pearl
street, just after four o'clock Sunday
afternoon when a man supposed to
have been Giaconda DeCarlo, is alleged
to have been stabbed and seriously in
jured. DeCarlo is missing and he is
alleged to have fed from the house
shortly after the stabbing. Basario
Bernardo was arrested by the police as
the wielder of the knife just after five
0 clock Sunday evening at the board
ing house and he is being held pending
the finding Of the wounded man.
A call for an officer was sent to the
police office just after four o'clock
Sunday afternoon and when the patrol
wagon reached the place the officers
went in and found blood about the
floors and a butcher knife covered with
blood. Women in the house gave the
information that DeCarlo had been
stabbed but they refused to say what
had become of the wounded man or how
seriously he had been injured. The men
in the party declined to make any
statement as to what had happened
more than to admit that there had been
fight in the house which had result
ed in some one being stabbed.
The police hurried Bernardo to the
lookup and then made a search through
the italian district for DeCar1o, but
they found no trace Of him anC if there
was any one in the whole district who
knew anything of his whereabouts they
made no statement Of the facts to the
police officers. The women claimed
that DeCarlo had been badly injured
but before she could tell her story she
was warned by some of the men in the
house to keep still and she kept still.
Bernardo refused to make any state
ment to the officials after he had been
taken into custody.
I'VE haven Il the remotest idea
where this fellow went or how seriously
he was injured" said Chief of Police
O1Hare this morning. HThe big knife
which we found at che house would in,
dictate that considerable amount Of
blood had been spilled, but at that it is
possible that the injured man was one
of the men In the house at the time
the arrest was made. The story told by
the women at the house indicated that
Il Il I I I n
ting and we are going to hold the man
arrested until we find DeCarlo or know
to what extent he was injured. The
old secrecy that has been thrown about
all cases of this kind in Kenosha has
made it impossible for the police to get
any nearer to the facts in the case. I"
Bernardo has lived in Kenosha for
some time and he has not had a reputa-
ton Of being trouble maker.

THUS tho total for capital and expenditures FOR

1T thus appears that of the total ex-
penditues for l913-14, there were put
into capital account as a permanent I'M
vestment for the state $636,000; there
were spent for various general state
purposes having no relation to the stu
dents at Madison $4,000; and for the
operation Of the university at Madison
last year there were spent $l,875,o0o Of
which amount somewhat less than sly
100000 came from the state.
This then is the question we'must an
swer: What does the university return
to the stste for this million dollars of
taxes for the support of the university |?
What does it return for the more than
a quarter Of million dollars spent for
general state purposess
First, the question will be answered
as to what me state receives for the
million dollars spent at Madison The
answer to this question involves two
aspects the benefits to the state
through the instruction Of students, and
the gains to the state through various
lines of investigation
The Training Of Men and Women.
The purpose for which the university
was originally created, and it's central
purpose today, is to train the young
men and women of the state for. careers
OF usefulness. In the early days of the
university, and to large extent to the
present time, the purpose of this train
ing is to give a broader intellectual
horizon to the children of the state.
They are to serve the state along So
cial channels.
The university, besides giving gem
eral education, furnishes professional
training in many lines, in law, in en-
gineering, in agriculture, in commerce,
in teaching, in journalism, in chemistry.
in library work, in pharmacy, in home
economies etc.
Formerly, the law, medicine, and the
ministry were the learned professions.
The vacations Of agriculture and home
economics now taught as sciences were
formerly manual arts. Now that they
involve training in the fundamental
sciences, the emphasis in these voca-
tions is transferred from manual to men

Burglars Loot Saloon in the
Town of Somers and Get
Away With Wet Goods.
BLAME LOCAL TALENTFORCR|RE.

Burglars worked in the town of Som
ers on Saturday night or early Sunday
morning ano made rich haul at the
saloon of Joseph Ortiz on the Burlington
road a mile and a half west of the city
limits. Entrance to the place was made
4 by jim. lying" open one of the rear
windows Of the building and the burg
lars got away with small change and
wet goods to the value Of close to a
hundred dollars. Evidently the men
knew just what they were going after
as the best goods in the stock were
taken.
Mr.. Ortiz had closed up the place just
before midnight Saturday night and he
was asleep at his home just back of the
saloon when the burglars entered the
place. He heard no noise about the sa-
loon during the night and the burglary
was not discovered until early Sunday
morning when Ortiz went to open IN
| the place. The men had evidently
worked in the place for some time as
every drawer had oeen opened and
every bottle and jug had been moved.
lt seems evident that the burglars were
of the opinion that there was money
concealed about the saloon in some
manner as they went about it like a
botanist working with maenifyino
glass. In the cash drawer was small
sum OF money in pennies and nickels
and this went into the pockets of the
burglars. They went into the ice box
and Toasted on. the provisions that had
been set aside for the lunches in the sa-
loon and then gathered together the
stock of wet goods. The stuff taken in

supply Of beer and several boxes of

from the saloon with their bootv with

problems that Sheriff stahl and the 9th.

seeking to solve.
mere were many people in the saloon
on Saturday afternoon and evening. but
the proprietor declared that he could Of
fer no clue that would aid fhe sheriff
IN landing the guilty parties. There Il
always large number of tramns and
Migrants about this section Of Somars
but the sheriff is of the opinion that the
burglary was not the work of these men
but of some men who had been pretty
well acquainted with the Law Of the
land IN the saloon. It is thought that
the liquor taken was probably brought
to Kenosha.
| Police service on duty on the North
side OF the city on Sunday morning saw
no one coming into the city from the di-
reetion of the Ortiz saloon and it is
thought that it would have been hard
Tor these men to have come into Keno

their bel g seen by some Of the officers.

part:

is much misunderstanding, because the
discussions of the question have usually
assumed that all the money received by
the university is derived from the state
That this belief is very erroneous is
shown by the following facts:
The receipts Of the university for the
year 1913-14 were large; but Of these
receipts a considerable portion came
from other sources than the state From
