Also Suggested.

Representative A. Mitchell Palmer, OF
Pennsylvania, yesterday addressed a
peace meeting in the Friends meeting
house at 1911 I street northwest and ut
tered probably the most forceful plea for
peace for the United States that has been
made in the quaint red-brick structure
since its erection in 1905. Mr.. Palmer's
plea, summed up, was for peace at any
cost.

would prevent shipment from this coun-
try of food. supplies and munitions O;

Refusal to meet the apparently growing
demand for increased armament and

Prohibition of any American merchant
ship entering the war zone declared by
Germany.

Must Submit To Greater Economy

At Marinette on Saturday night
Governor Philip spoke at length
on the state university, pointing
out that the institution gained one
hundred per cent in recent years
while the population gained only
twelve per cent. This makes
taxes burdensome," he said, 1t is
the desire of the people that the
university shall not extend beyond
the needs of the people of this state.
Like other institutions, the univer-
sity must submit to a plan of great
er economy.
Governor Philip said he believes
in harmony program to make the
university the best in the country,
but is not in sympathy with the
protest of making it the largest.
In reply to the charges made
against him by devotees of the uni
versity and by few professors,
that he is attempting to interfere
with academic freedom, the COVER
nor said: l believe that / voice
the sentiments of every father and
mother who sends sons and daugh-
tiers to the university when / say:
we are American citizens and
love American institutions, and we
expect our children 10 return to
their homes as good and loyal citi-
zens who can be relied upon to do
their part in perpetuation of our
| institutions. We condemn in un
measured terms the teaching with
the approval of any political system
in theory of government that has
a tendency to make them disloyal
to our form of government.
IF that demand is an interfer-
ence with academic freedom, then
let us interfere. There is 70 dis

OF my friends in the legislature to

! teachers in the university that the

BOOST THE BALL TEAM.
The Hurley Baseball Team Is Fully
Organized and Ready to Start
the Season.

The Hurley baseball team has
organized for the season and the
players are ready for the signal
play ball" The opening game
will be with Ironwood on the local
grounds May 9th. The fact that
Ironwood is to cross the creek to
open the season with the local boys
should prove a good starter and a
large attendance is foregone CON
clusion. Manager Archie Lucia
has secured the services of a crack
battery and with such old-time stars
in the lineup as Secor Pollock,
Whitman, Costello aud the Beaton
brothers a good article of ball may
be looked for at all times.
A new grand stand and new
fence is needed at the Hurley park
and steps to raise the money to
makethese repairs havebeen taken.
Booster tickets will be sold at 81 90
each. and with this ticket bearer
will be admitted to the first league
game on May 9. Those i'll charge
of the selling of these tickets ex-
pect to be able to dispose of
enough of them to the fans and
others of Hurley to raise a sum
sufficient to make the contemplated
improvements. And it seems as
though they should have no trouble
in doing that
Most everybody in Hurley is a
baseball crank and they all like to
see good ball and they like to see
Hurley have a team equal to other
towns. The improvements to be
made are needed badly, so when
you are approached to buy a ticket
don't hesitate but dig down and
come across.
We are assured that the baseball
fans of Hurley will see first class
ball this season and it's up to the
fans to give the boys a boost
There will be a game at the Hurley
park every Sunday during the COM
ing summer. Everybody boost
baseball for Hurley.

TWO DISTRESSING ACCIDENTS.
------ q
Two Young Boys, DOmenic Rosetti and
Olaf Wikie Lose Their Lives
Through Accidents.

Two distressing accidents occur
ed a short distance west of Hurley
in which two boys lost their lives.
Domenic Rossetti met his death
through being electrocuted last
Saturday evening and Monday
forenoon Olaf Wikie fell out of
delivery wagon and was killed in
stantly.
Domenic Rosetti. IL years of age,
and who resided with his parents
at Gle, was out Saturday evening
about o'clock to find and drive
home the cows. He was on the
500 line viaduct short distance
beyond the west branch of the
Montreal river when he met his
death. A high tension transmits
ion wire from Mellen to the range
runs along the county road west of
Hurley and passes above the bridge
near where the boy was killed.
The telephone wires of the tele-
phone company pass underneath
the bridge, and while there were
no witnesses to the accident it is
presumed that Rosetti took hold of
this telephone wire and received
shock which caused instant death.
The telephone wires carry limited
voltage but it is thought possible
that they had become charged from
the high tension wire. 1t is said
that Rosetti had his foot on the
rail on the bridge when he took
hold of the wire and in that way
grounded, " and while in that
position reached over and grabbed
the telephone wire, which are near
enough under the bridge to be
easily reached. He probably never
thought of the possible danger in
doing such thing and done it
merely as prank, losing his life
through careleeness and mere
curiosity, His PROSTATE body was
first noticed by John Dolney and
neighbor, who removed him from
the wires. Later the body was
taken TO the undertaking rooms of
Coroner Charbonneau, and autop-
sy was performed. 1t was found
that Rosetti met his death by an
electric shock. His left hand, the
one with which he reached over
and grabbed the wires, was badly
burned, as was also his right foot.
A coroner'S jury was empaneled
and yesterday morning the inquest
was held at the court house.
Domenic was the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph Rosetti, old time resi-
dents of Gle. He was born in
Germany and came to this country
at an early age. He is survived
by his parents and several sisters
and brothers. The funeral was
held Tuesday morning with ser
vices from St. Mary's church.
