Madison.-The great work of the
Wisconsin Legislature has been com
pleted and the curtain rung down, al
though the formal adjournment will
come in ten days.
Commencing with Monday evening
both houses will meet nominally each
day, but no business will be transact
60, except the receipt of bills from the
governor. The lasr work of the legis-
lature was concluded when the senate
adopted the Chapple substitute amend
ment pledging the loyalty of this state
10 President Wilson In the war.
There are upwards of 80 bills in the
hands Of the state printer or with the
enrolling clerks, TO be submitted TO the
governor AS soon as the governor
passes upon these bills the legislature
will adjourn sine die.
Speaker Whittet has announced tie
appointment Of members on the IN
term committees on social insurance
ana marketing These committees
Will make an investigation OF these
subjects during the next two years
and Will make a report to the next ses-
sion of the legislature with bills for
legislation. On the committee on So
cial insurance Speaker Whittet has
appointed Assemblymen w. l.. Smith
OF Clark county, Donnelly and Obi of
Milwaukee On the committee to In
vesugate the subject of marketing, the
following assemblymen were appoint
ed: II. J. Grell of johnson Creek.
Charles d. Rosa, Beloit, and Riley II.
Young of Walworth.
The closing hours OF the active ses-
sion of the legislature were marked
with some feeling of bitterness be-
tween the two houses. The senate has
criticized the assembly for not passing
strong resolutions backing up Presi-
dent Wilson. The assembly has criti-
cized the senate for defeating a resolu-
ton which would place the burden Of
cost during the war upon the incomes
and the swollen fortunes of The
state.
Tie senate sustained the veto Of
Governor Philip on the Bray bill ap-
propriating 100000 for extensions at
the home for feeble-minded at Union
Grove. The governor has uniformly
vetoed appropriation bills which he
thought could be delayed. This was
the reason given in his message.

priauons as passed by the 1917 legisla-
ture was given by Senator Platt Whit

(By Leased Wire to New Mexlcan.)
Washington, June 13.-Francis s.
Peabody, chairman of the coal COM
mittee of the council Of national de-
Tense, told the senate public lands
committee today the country was not
producing enough oil to win the war
and that if nothing were done to de-
velop new wells, the reserve supply
would be exhausted in IL months and
production would be 10000, 900 barrels
less than requirements.
Both the oil and coal situations in
the west, he said, are especially bad
and the outcome Of the war depends
much upon the supply of fuel and
food.
While the United States is produc-
ing more coal than ever before, Pea.
body said, it is possible to increase
production 100, 10000 tons. He ap-
peared in connection with a bill to

Washington, June Is. Accepting
the house compromise for acquisition
of the jamestown exposition site as a
naval base, the senate today finally
enacted the $3,2S1, 100000 war budget
bill and sent it to the president.
The bill which carries the greatest
sum ever appropriated at one time by
any legislative body, has been the
storm center of the present session Of
congress and went through with a
final row over the shipping board pro-
visions.
Objection to the conference report
because it failed to make 1t impos-
sible, for the shipping board to re-
move Major General Goethals from Of
flee should they so desire, was made
by Senators Lodge, of Massachusetts,
and Smith, of Michigan.
Congress and the country have
confidence in General Goethals and
mean to keep him where he is but
that is not the plan of the shipping
board" said Senator Lodge.
The bill as originally passed by the
senate, provided for General Goetha!s
by name, but that was cut out in the
house.
Senator Martin, in charge of the
bill, assured the senate that there was
no intention to remove General Goe-
thals. Senator Smith attacked the
shipping board, saying:
"The board has appeared before
our committee several times and il
they have any large capacity, they
have yet to demonstrate It,"
In addition to funds for innumer-
able military purposes including 500
per month for men in reserve officers
training camps, the bill appropriates
