MEASLES ARE ON INCREASE
Eight Hundred and Eight Cases Re-
ported in November. Only
Nnety-four Year Ago.

Madison Eight hundred and eight
cases of measles were reported to the
state board of health in November. In
the same month last year only ninety
four cases were recorded The abnor-
NAL increase indicates to what extent
the disease is spreading in Wisconsin
communities at present.
The first three weeks of the present
month have brought over a thousand
new cases, Nearly one-half of these
are in Milwaukee and about two hun
dred in Madison. In December a year
ago 1872 cases were reported in the
state.
Practically without exception" says
the board, "the disease this year is of
the mild type and consequently the
mortality will not be high. However,
we must not lose sight of the fact that
this disease paves the way for many
other serious complications. Pneu.
monia is a frequent after effect and
often results from allowing children
to go out o. doors before they should
after recovery"

KUOLTAGAINST BANKS
OBJECTS TO INSTITUTIONS ACT
ING AS ADMINISTRATIONS.
II Attempt Is Made to Exercise
Authority Attorney General
May Bring Suit.

Madison. Bank Commissioner
A. E. kuolt said that If any national
bank in Wisconsin attempted to exer-
else authority supposed to be confer
red on it by the federal reserve act to
serve as trustee, administrators. execu-
tor or registrar OF stocks and bonds.
he would ask the attorney general to
bring suit against 1t to restrain 1t from
so acting, on the ground that the pro-
vision of the federal reserve statute
covering the subject was unconstitu-
tional.
The commissioner said that he had
conferred with the attorney general on
the matter, and the latter had indicat
ed his readiness to bring suit.
The federal reserve board has
authorized six Wisconsin national
banks to act as trustees, administra-
tors, executors and registrars of stocks
and bonds. These banks are the First
National of Monroe, City National Of
Oshkosh, Old National of Appleton and
National Manufacturers of Neenah.
Under the laws of Wisconsin the
only corporation authorized to act as
trustees, administrators, executors
and registrars of stocks and bonds are
trust companies of which there are
fourteen in the state.
The attorney general of Wisconsin
on May l, last, advised the state bank
commissioner that the action of the
federal reserve board in comforting on
certain national banks permission to
assume the functions of trustees, ex-
ecutors and administrators does not
confer any state authority on these
banks.

Chicago, Dec. 23.-Dr. G. Frank
Lydston won his five-year legal battle
against the American Medical asso-
citation when the supreme court up
held the decision of the appellate
court and ordered the removal OF the
present board of directors
A complete reorganization OF the as
ISOLATION, national body composed or
more than 10000 members, probably
will follow. Under the supreme courts
ruling the members of the present
board of directors were elected ille-
gally, inasmuch as the association
was incorporated under a charter
from Illinois. and therefore must hold
its annual meetings in this state.
The warfare between Doctor Lyd.
ston and the association began when
the physician attempted to prevent
DR.. George Simmons, then secre-
tary. from holding three offices at
once He claimed the affairs of the
association were controlled by an OIL
gar"hy.
"In view of this decision" he said,
lit will remain for the officers Of the
association to explain why they have
been spending the associations money
for five years to prevent legitimate
inquiry into the operations of the as
ISOLATION.
1T is probable now that the rank
and file will have something to say
about the operation of the society
will gain the ballot-and that the po-
litical operation Of the association will
be taken out of the hands OF the self
elected few"
