JUDGE STEVENS
FAvOaS THIS Law

Asse1nblyman Ballard will introduce
a bill providing for the abolition of the
Office of divorce counsel. He said the
law is a farce and that it had already
been proven that it does not operate
to reduce the number of divorces. He
declared that it gave positions to law
yers who draw good fees for little SER
vice. He said the sentiment of people
in number of counties favored the
abolition of the law two years ago. Cir
cult Judge E. Ray Stevens of Madison,
considered a leading authority on divor-
ces. favored the retention Of this law
before the legislature two years ago,
and it is said ne will appear with other
judges to give testimony on its ac-
complishments and worth.

(From Madison Democrat)

Lieutenant Governor E. F. Dithmf r
has just returned to the secretary of
states office, where it belongs in the
archives, an old leather covered book,
like big ledger, which contains the
autographs of all state senators since
1877. 1t is the record of the oaths of
members of the upper house. Few sur
vive whose names are in the earlier
pages of this book, even though the leg
ends do not run so very far back.
C. D. Parker, a st. Croix farmer,
was Mr.. Dithmar's predecessor as lieu
tenant governor just thirty eight years
ago. That was in 1877, the year this
book was opened. S. S. Fifeld of Ash
land was senator in IT and later was
promoted to the lieutenant governor
ship. George B. Burrows of Madison was
there also and long years afterward be-
came speaker of the assembly. I. B.
Scott and ''Hobe" Sackett were there
likewise and W. w. Read beside.
Colonel D.. E. WeIch of Baraboo was
a senator in 1878 and he, genial soul, is
living. Matt Anderson Of Dane county
was a senator that year and 80 was
George II. Paul, later postmaster at
Milwaukee, and president of the board
of university regents. 1t was Paul,
who, when coming upon the board
heard someone make remark

is dead. Sois T. r. Hudd of Green Bay,
afterward congressman J. B. Treat
of Monroe also was in the senate in

In '79 the register shows E. c. Nc

Old MAN MAY Be
THE LONE FORGER

The authorities are endeavoring to
weave conclusive evidence that George
Adler, the stranger arrested at Wau-
kesha, is the much sought for forger
Who has been getting various amounts
from victims on bogus deeds all over
the country. The accounts in the news
papers state that he is benign looking
old man now, of 70 years or more. He

ing investors in mortgages.

He had made arrangements to

farm. Investigation is said co have
shown that the deed was forged. He

the instrument after he saw he was
suspected.
Chicago and Milwaukee police were
informed of the arrest, and the Chi
cago office of the Burns agency gave
the Waukesha sheriff information which
convinced him that his prisoner was
the Lone Forger." Adler was taken
to Milwaukee.
THE Lone Forger's'' operations
have been country wide for the last
generation. He has been known under
a score of aliases.
Many towns in Wisconsin have been
touched by the "Lone Forger." He
began in Fond du Lac II 1904, obtaining
81, 900. He took 81, 900 from Portage in
1906. Delavan was touched for 3,O0C

noble acquiescence, turned over most OF
his fortune without complaint, and
went to his grave singularly beloved.
Few finer characters ever filed office
in the statehouse.
M. Bingham of Chippewa Falls was
colleague of McFetridge and not long
afterward became lieutenant governor.
He died only few months ago, Nc
Fetridge year or so before. Joseph
E. Rankin of Manitowoc was another
notable parsonage in the senate of '19,
likewise l. w. Van Schaick, later a
congressman from Milwaukee. A A.
Arnold of Trempeleau, distinguished
as an agriculturist. sturdy character
was a member of the same body that
year.
1t is an interesting circumstance,
having nothing, however, to do with
this senate record, that Mr.. Dithmar
was page in the assembly in 1889,
just 26 years before he became lieuten-
ant governor. He then was a high
school lad at Reedsburg, but he had a
brother in Madison, student at the
university, and with him he roomed.
This brother, J. T. Dithmar, is now as
sistant attorney general, and both boys
are alumni of the university. B. G..
Paddock of LaValle, once sheriff of
Sauk county, was one assemblyman
from that county, and James Hill of
Spring Green, another. Paddock's son
is today the postmaster of LaValle. Mr..
Hill was the father of C. N. Hill Of
Madison and of another son at Baraboo,
both we'll known lawyers. In '89 Frank
Avery was the senator from Baraboo,
Mr.. Dithmar's present home. I. &.
Mills of Jackson county was speaker
while Dithmar was page, and Edward
Coe of Whitewater was chief clerk. It
was known as the kid legislature, be-
cause it contained so many young mem
bers. w. J. McElroy, Milwaukee
Hedging lawyer, older now and of course
more dignlfed, was chairman of the
judiciary committee and floor leader.
Subsequently he became university
regent. "Tom" Mills himself was a
boyish fellow. 1t was in that assembly
that Dithmar got his introduction to
politics. Years after he finished at the
university, then, very young, was elect
ed county clerk, serving several terms
and studying law meanwhile, and get
ting all manner of kindly encouragement
from Judge r. G. Siebecker, then on
the Baraboo circuit.
