Controversy Over Shipments Of Fuel
in Wisconsin Settled in Favor
Of w. NJ. Fitzgerald.

Milwaukee ~ William N. Fitzgerald,
fuel administrator for Wisconsin, re-
turned from Washington thoroughly
fortified in his position on the action
of other administrators in directing
shipments of coal from Wisconsin
docks to western points.
Under date of Jan. IL, DR.. Garfield.
national fuel administrator. wrote let
tiers to w. H. Groverman of Minneapo-
lis, fuel administrator for Minnesota
and the Dakotas, and to Mr.. Fitzgerald
which were substantially alike in
terms.
The letter to Mr. Groverman in
formed him that Wisconsin was to re-
ceive It's full proportionate share OF
fuel and "Mr. Fitzgerald, as fuel adj
ministrator, will retain the right to
direct the distribution of that share, =
while the letter to Mr.. Fitzgerald said:
"You, as state fuel administrator, will
retain all your rights to direct the dis
trihution of that share. You will Issue
your orders and Mr.. GrOverman will
execute them. Your rights as federal
fuel administrator for Wisconsin have
not been lessened in any respect"

EASTWOOD CHOPPING RE CORD
Chiffon Man Chops 6,207 Cords in
Thirty Years, or an Average Of
Two Cords Per Day.

Clinton-A record in wood chopping
is claimed by L. j. Haugen, so, who
lives near this place. Up to the open
ing of the present numbering season
he chopped SPOT cords. He is a Nor
wegian During the summer he works
for farmers about the county, but as
soon as the first touches of winter are
apparent, he shoulders his ak and
starts for the timber land. He figures
his chopping career from the time he
was 20, since which he has averaged
two cords day during the chopping
season. The following statistics inev-
itably follow: If SPOT fords were plac-
ed end to end they would extend near
ly nine and one-half miles. If piled
one on top of another, they would be
more than four miles high. At present
prices, that wood is worth $4,000.

MAY NOT PROVE ELIGIBLE
Under Present Statutes Judge Becker
Cannot Be Candidate for Gov
ernor, Is Opinion.


Madison-U Unless change is made
in the laws at the. special session
of the legislature, the probable
ity is that John M. Becker of Mon
roe will find that he is eliminated by
statute as candidate for governor. The
announcement of Mr.. Becker for the
position was made a few days ago. As
soon as the matter was known here
attention was called to Chapter 651,
laws of 1917, which provides:
No judge of any court Of record in
this state shall be eligible or hold any
Office of public trust, except judicial
office. during the term for which he is
elected, and all votes cast for any such
judge for any Office. except judicial
office, shall be void
Judge J. M. Becker is the county
judge of Green county. According to
the 1917 Blue Book just issued by the
state the term of Judge Becker would
end in January. 1920. The next guber-
Material election will be held this fall
and the newly elected official will take
Office in January, 1919. one year ap-
parently before the judicial term of
Judge Becker is ended.

SUFFRAGE BILL WINS
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
MEASURE PASSED BY HOUSE.
Vote is 274 to 136-soutF Almost De-
feats BilI--Mann Leaves
Sick Bed.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE woman
suffrage constitutional amendment bill
passed the house on Thursday night
274 to 1876.
The victors had not single vote to
spare, Two-thirds of 40 votes (the
total of PA ayes and 1876 nays) makes
273 Is. But the house parliamentar-
ian ruled that the tally clerks could
mot split man" into third or any
fraction.
Some southern Democrats voiced
bitter opposition to the presidents
statement of his position in favor OF
the women. During the day this an
tagonism steadily increased until 1t
seemed for time in the first roll call
that the amendment had been de-
feated.
Galleries crowded with women burst
into salvo of applause such as the
chamber has not heard in years.
The loudest applause in the day
long debate was given Representative
Decker of Missouri. After citing wOm-
ems work and sacrifice in the war, he
shouted:
"I'll tell you why women should be
given hand now-because they have
more courage, more grit, more sheer,
determined bravery than men. The
world knows It."
James r. Mann Of Chicago, Repub-
lican leader, and Thetus w. Sims,
chairman of the interstate commerce
committee, were cheered as they cast
the deciding votes. Mr.. Mann had
been i'll in hospital in Baltimore and
Mr.. Sims, a Democrat. fell on the ice
two days ago and injured himeslf.
Both left their beds to vote.

LEADER LOSES IN ACTION
Judge Uphoids Ruling of Postoffice
Department in Denying Socialist
Paper Mailing Privileges.

Washington, d. c. The contention
of the postoffice department that the
Milwaukee Leader should be denied
the second class mailing privileges for
violations of the sections of the espi-
onage act dealing with disloyal utter
ances was upheld by Justice Hitz of
the District Supreme court here.
The court overruled the demurrer
which had been filed by the Milwaukee
Social Democrat Publishing company,
owner of the publication. This demur-
rer had been filed to the answer of the
postmaster general to the mandamus
proceedings instituted by the Leader
for testing the espionage act
The government has resisted the eff
forts of attorneys for the Leader to go
outside of the record in the case to
present testimony, and will combat
any further efforts. The government
took the attitude that such an effort
was in effect a demurrer, and that the
court was ruling on just such move.
anyhow
The decision leaves the case in this
way: The Milwaukee Leader is still
denied the second class mailing priv
ileges, but may appeal and take the
case to the Supreme court of the
United States Whether this action
will be taken is not known, and will
await the final outcome of the effort
of attorneys for the paper to intro
duce additional evidence

"STUFFING" CHICKENS
DECLARED A FRAUD

Madison-Dairy and food in
spectors are determined to stop
what they declare is more or
less general system of fraud,
the "stuffing" of chickens before
their sale or before killing and
dressing them. 1t is said that
this is common practice among
farmers selling to city butchers,
and that many times customers
are imposed upon by the butcher
without his knowledge. One in
spector dropped into Madison
butcher shop and found crop
weighing 51z ounces in chicken
weighing 2 pounds, a dead loss
to the buyer of IL per cent.
Commissioner George j. Weigle
stated that the department will
be glad to be notified of cases
of such imposition.

COMMISSION FORM PLEAsES
Eau Claire Likes Present City Govern
ment-Taxes Reduced to Lowest
Figure Possible.

Eau Claire-Two cities in Wiscon
sin, Appleton and Portage, have recent
ly cast out the commission form OF
city government after giving it trial
but here in Eau Claire, the first to
adopt the plan in 1910, there has never
been a whisper of any individual OF
concerted effort to abandon the sys.
tenn
The plan has apparently given salts
faction, and if any change is made II
will not be back to the common coun'
Gil government There is sentiment
growing here for the city manager
plan, but this has not reached the
stage of any concerted drive being
made for this change.
But it can be said that the commits
sion form of government has proved q
success in Eau Claire, though there
has been more or less friction among
the three members of the council, and
q number of changes have taken place
in the personnel. The tax rate haa
been reduced to the lowest figure IN
the city's history and at the same time
the work of public Improvement has
been increased, nothing having been
sacrificed in any way to bring the
taxes down. The second year the plan
was in operation here the tax rate was
reduced to it's lowest figure and it has
remained there since. A new $4,000
city hall, one of the best equipped as
we'll as one of the handsomest edifices
of the kind in the northwest, has been
erected; an $4,000 auditorium is now
being built and the street paving work
