ures were signed by Gov. E. L. Phillip.
The two acts introduced were
passed in the assembly and had re-
ceived action in the senate. After
brief debate the senate concurred in
the Hanson and Everett bills, the for
mer permitting electors absent from
home on election day to vote by mail
without making application for bal
lot and the latter permitting the Wis
consin soldiers now on the border to
vote on the field under the inspection
of a representative of the department
of secretary of state.
Senator Culbertson was the only
senator to vote in the negative when

man e. A. Everett presiding.

ONE BUCK LAW SUCCESS
Report Shows Number of Deer Killed
in 1916 was Less Than One
Half That of 1915.

Madison-Ho the buck law, passed
by the legislature of 1915, operated to
conserve the deer of the state will ap-
pear in comparative statement in the
forthcoming report of the conservation
commission, covering the years 1912
to 1915, inclusive, and showing the
number of deer killed during each
twelve-month, respectively, as follows:
1912, $3.50; 1918. 1868; 1914, 1873,
1915, 3,137.
Thus it appears that under the zone
buck law the number of deer re-
ported killed in 1915 was less by more
than one-half than in the preceding
year and greatly less than in either Of
the others.

FIRE SWEEPS MAIN

HISTORIC STRUCTURE AT UNI
vERslTY OF WISCONSIN is
BADLY DAMAGED.
LOSS IS PLACED AT S25, 900
Lack of Water Pressure Endangers
Group of Buildings on Campus.
Believe cigaret Stub Was
Cause of Fire.

Madison-The main hall at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin was damaged by
fire, the great dome on the building
being destroyed. The wings were prac--
tically unchanged, however. The loss
is estimated at about $4,000.
Fifteen hundred students who were
assembled in classes marched in or
derby procession. Not one was in
jured.
The cause of the fire is unknown,
but a rumor said it may have started
from a lighted cigaret which had been
carelessly thrown away by student.
1t was discovered between the door
leading from the fourth floor to the
dome.
Low water pressure at first hindered
the fire fighters and led Chief Heyl to
say that the building would be ruined.
But with many leads of hose playing
upon the base of the fallen dome and
upon the roof of the fourth floor the
fire was kept from spreading to the
north and south wings. Water dam
aged the central part of the building
which will have to be completely re-
modelled.
When the order to the students to
march out was given, there was. no
jamming and no pushing and no one
was injured Within ten minutes over
100 studets had scaled the roof of the
hall and were fighting the flames. The
police and fire department roped off a
big vacant space, fearing loss of life
when the dome fell.
All of the books and papers and val
liable documents in the building had
been removed.
The main hall is valued at 100000,
according to statement of the insur-
ance department The building is in
sured with the state ire insurance
fund for S184,O0O. The contents of the
building are valued at $4,000. The
state fire insurance fund has on hand
$145,O74.

Queretaro, Mexico, Carranza's provis-

Information brought by Dargue and
Gorrell indicates that American cav
alrymen have surrounded the detach-
ment which is reported to have been
carrying Villa on litter. The ad-
vanced cavalry detachments, they said.
are about 400 miles south of the bor-
der, below Parral and near the Du-
range border. while severval columns
are operating south of Satevo, where
Gen. Pershing was establishing his

This would place him in the midst of

that the end came while the various
forces were preparing to close in on
him.
Natives in Cusihuiriachic, who are
strong Carranzista partisans and
friendly to the Americans, are firmly
convinced that the report of Villas
death is true. They said that they
knew Villa was suffering from blood
poisoning several days ago and that
he refused medical attention. One ma
tive told Lieut.. Dargue that the ban

which he himself bound to his body.
