Wisconsin Supreme Court Reverses
Itself.
Madison, Wis, March 24.-The su-
preme court of Wisconsin, on re-
hearing, reversed itself and decided
that foreign born residents cannot
vote in the state of Wisconsin with
out being fully qualified citizens. Two
months ago the court decided that
the constitutional amendment re-
stricting suffrage was not properly
adopted. Now it takes the opposite
view.
Until 1912 foreign born residents OF
Wisconsin were permitted, under the
constitution, to vote on mere decla-
ration of intention and in practice
there were many thousands who new
er took out the second papers which
gave them full citizenship. Beginning
with 1912, under the new amendment,
these persons were required either to
take out their second papers or for
felt the right to vote. Many older
men, who had lost their original rec
ords, have been deprived of the bal

FEARS DASH FOR OPEN SEA

Secretary Daniels Orders Two Amer
lean Destroyers to San Juan, Porto
Rico, to Prevent the OdenwaId and
Another German Merchant Vessel

Papers.
Washington, March 24.-Attorney
General Gregory instructed the Unit
ed States district attorney of Porto
Rico to institute libel proceedings
against the German steamship Oden-
valid which attempted to leave San
Juan harbor Sunday without clear
ance papers.
Under these proceedings the vessel
may be held in the custody of a mar
sbal pending settlement of the ques-
ton whether she shall be forfeited to
the United States and the owners or
master be fined and imprisoned, I'M
der the recent joint resolution of con-
gress prescribing penalties in such
cases.
While the department of justice was
considering the legal phases of the
Odenwald case treasury officials had
before them a report from San Juan
that fear was felt that both the Oden-
valid and another Hamburg American
liner, the President, under cover of
darkness, might slip past the guns Of
Moro Castle and dash for the sea-
Secretary Daniels was informed of
the situation and, following confer
ence with the president, Admiral
Fletcher, at Guantanamo, was in.
structed to dispatch two destroyers to
San Juan.
In addition the coast guard serv-
ice ordered the cutter Algonquin, now
cruising in the West Indies, to steam

SPAR TEN SPEEDY ROUNDS
Ray Temple and Red Watson Meet
in Hudson Arena. !.

Hudson, Wis, March 24.-Ray Tenn;
pie of st. Paul and Red Watson of
California boxed and fought ten
whirlwind rounds and at the close
the general opinion was that it was,
a good draw, the advantage if any,
resting with Temple. Temple certain
ly outboxed the stubby, aggressive
californian, though he was outfought
in the first half of the contest, but in
the last five rounds he stood his
ground against the fierce rushes of
Watson, and landed five blows to ey-
cry one sent home by the coast bat
tier Considered as boxing match
pure and simple, Temple had a lead
over his opponent but Watson's ag,i'
gressiveness, logged fighting and
heavy hitting must be counted in ar
irving at a verdict.

MAGNITUDE OF
VICTORY CROWS
Russians Capture 100000 Aus
trians at PrzemysI.
Army IS IN P|T|FUL PLIGHT

Forty Thousad Men Have Been Kill
ed Since the investment Began and
the Garrison Surrendered Only
When Food Was Gone and Disease
Spreading Rapidly.
Petrograd, March pam official
communication issaled by the Russian
war office says:
according to figures given by Gener
al Won Kusmanek, late commander at
Przemys1, the number of prisoners
who surrendered to the Russians was
nine generals, ninety-three officers of
the general staff, $500 officers and
officials and 117,O0O men. Forty thou
sand have been killed since the in
vestment began.
General Won Kusmanek accepted
our demands for an unconditional sur
render of the garrison. Our troops
who entered the fortress have taken
possession of the Notifications and
begun to prepare lists of the prison
ers and to ascertain the amount Of
artillery and war materials captured
Our detachment, which reconnoi-
tered Memel, has retired to Russian
territory
"On the left bank Of the Niemen, in
the region of Mariampol, we have re-
pulsed German attack, inflicting up
Oh the enemy heavy losses.
~,
Walki, near Pilwiszki, our cavalry,
pIofiting by the darkness and a snow
storm, captured German convoy with
quantity of provision wagons. The
escorts either were killed or made
prisoners"
The lack of official details from
Przemysl is said to be due to the
heavy snow storm that prevailed and
which broke down the telegraph lines.
Typhoid and scurvy Rage.
1t is reported, however, that nearly
a quarter of the garrison had suffer-
ed with typhoid and scurvy. Although
the rations were growing more and
more limited none but a few of the
higher officers, up to the end of jan
uary, knew that actual starvation
was impending.
The real condition of affairs was
learned by the troops when an avia-
tor, who was starting with messages
for Vienna, was shot down by the
Russians and fell within the defend
ers' lines. After that there was much
grumbling in the garrison and almost
a mutiny. Some of the Austrians
slipped through the lines at night and
surrendered to the Russians.
The investing Russian forces in
creased the intensity of their bonn
bardment and the strain on the de-
tenders began to grow greater during
February Many were rendered in
sane by privations and disease. The
death list was very high.
Civilian inhabitants, who had been
unable to escape when the siege be-
gan, sWarmed about the forts begging
food and refuge, but the commandant
was unable to care for them. The
death of two prominent generals in
February from typhoid tended to
weaken the determination of General
Won Kusmanek, commander of the
fortress.
BY the end of February actual fam
inc prevailed; scarcely a living ami
NAL was left. For weeks virtually the
only sustenance was obtained from
small supplies OF concentrated food
stuffs brought by aeroplanes.
A council Of officers daily consid-
cred the situation, but not until they
were convinced that there was no
hope Of help from an Austrian relief
column did they reach the decision to
surrender.

RUIN WILL BENEFIT TOWNS
Destruction by Armies Will Make Necessary the Construction of
 Whole Communities Anew.

Every town of importance in East Prussia that has suffered at the de- yastating hand of the Russians has decided to incorporate a municipal garden section in it's plans for rebuild ing.
 Many of the destroyed towns are so completely ruined that it is going to be necessary to rage what little is left and construct the whole community anew. This makes it eminently feasi- $e to apportion off a section that can be devoted to the desirable city gar den feature.
 Many of the communities also are planning for series of municipally constructed and owned houses for workmen, single home structures with two, three and four rooms. which ulti- matelY can be purchased by their oc- eupants oa the familiar easy-payment plan.
 Plans of thte character are already we'll advanced il Gerdauen, Tapiau. Ortelsburg, Lyck and other communi- ties, and additional municipalities are preparing to follow suit.
