BREAD WEIGHT BILL PASSED
State Senate Engrossed Skogmo Meas
ure Virtually Placing All Sales
on Weight Basis.

Madison-After a brief debate, the
state senate engrossed the Skogmo
bill standardizing bread weight. The
standard loaf is one pound, but larger
loaves are permitted to be sold by
weight. A standard half loaf from IN
to 9 ounces is permitted. The effect
of the bill will be to virtually place
all bread sales on the weight basis.
Senator Roethe attacked the measure
in a speech suggesting that the legis-
lature broaden the bill to control the
size Of cookies and the holes in dough-
nuts. Senator Skogmo also succeeded
in advancing a measure for the ap-
pointment of challengers in behalf of
referendum measures.
Senator Schultz's bill to empower
the city of Milwaukee to mortgage the
waterworks plant to procure funds for
the requirement of other public utili-
ties was put over after Hanson had
attacked it on the ground that it was
a subterfuge to permit the city to
evade constitutional debt limits. The
senate advanced a number of minor
measures.

GUARD READY FOR SERVICE
1880 Men and Officers Could Be
Modified in "a Hours,
Says Salesman.

Madison - The Wisconsin National
guard, consisting of $500 men and Of
ficers, could be modified at Camp
Douglas or any other central point in
the state within twenty-four hours,
Assistant Adjutant General John G.
Salesman said. They would be ready
for active service within a short time
after being modified. he continued.
No instructions or directions re-
specting plans for quickly mobilizing
the guard had been received from the
war department at Washington and
none are needed, the general said.
Under their obligations, taken during
their service on the Mexican border,
the members of the guard enlisted for
term of six years, three years on the
active and three years in the reserves.
AS result of their physical examin-
alton and enlistment at that time the
members of the guard can be returned
to federal service without taking any
further examination or going through
the formality of re-enlisting. The
equipment for the federal service is
also ready and there is no reason why
the guard can not be speedily thrown
into the field for federal service. IL
necessity arose, Gen. Salesman said.

U. S. SAILORS RouT REBELS.
Americans From Gunboat Eagle Drive
Cubans From Altocedo,

Havana, March 19.-United States
sailors from the gunboat Eagle landed
at Altocedo, in Oriente province, and
drove a group of insurgents from the
town. 1t was reported that many
Mexicans were in the group, which
numbered about 300 men. American
marines are believed to have evacuated
the port of Santiago. They landed
when the rebel forces quit the town.
Since then Cuban government troops
have assumed control.
The presence with Cuban insurgents
of Mexicans caused much surprise and
speculation here. There are Mexican
colonies in some parts of Cuba, but
heretofore no activity of MeXicans,
skilled In revolutionary and destruc-
tive warfare in their own country, has
been reported to government officials
here.
Railroad bridges destroyed by the
rebels between Havana and Camaguay
have been restored Passenger and
freight service will be resumed imme-
diately.

Madison-Better methods and tools
for removing stumps in upper Wis
consin is considered by Senator A.
II. Wilkinson of Bayfield, to be one of
the most important needs in the de-
velopment of the northern counties.
After many years of close study of the
needs of the settlers in the cutover
districts, Senator Wilkinson has in
troduced a bill, which he believes is
of fundamental importance in that 1t
aims to find out which are the best
methods and equipments to be used
and then to get that information be-
fore the people.
The bill calls for a two-year continu-
alton of the demonstration work
started last year by the college OF agrl-
culture. Arrangements are made by
which the college is to investigate
methods of clearing cutover lands and
use the experiences of others in form
ulating the best methods for the yari-
Gus conditions found in upper Wis
consin.
