Fastest State for Justice.

Milwaukee, Dec. Bottle length of
time taken by the courts of Wisconsin
in the trying of cases was strongly de-
Tended by Justice of the Supreme
Court Walter c.. Owen in speaking be-
fore the circuit judges of the state at
the annual convention held in Circuit
Judge Turner's courtroom. He stated
that the belief of the public was that
it took several years before a case is
finally decided, which opinion, he said,
is erroneous. "The average time" he
said, "from the moment u case makes
it's initial appearance in court until it
has been brought before the supreme
court and decision reached, is "A
months. Many cases pass from the
lowest to the highest court Of the
state in five months, while there are
a few Of the extra difficult ones which
take more than the average length Of
time. Justice can be obtained in Wis
consin as speedily, if not speedier,
than the average state

Prince Radziwill said upon his arrival

"Kiev is calm again. The shops are

German troops under General Kirbach
The horrors of anarchy in that country,

100000 people, conditions must be

ing IS cents to AZ cents an hour. The

they have been in service eight years.
The demand is for a schedule of 80
cents to 46 cents an hour. According
to officials of the company the only
way it can grant the demand of it's
employees is for the Wisconsin rail-
road commission to grant it the right
to raise it's street car fares. They
state that the earnings Of the company
at present are not large enough to
give their employees the raise they de-
mand and still earn reasonable prof
it on the capital stock of the corpora
ton. Bert Hall, secretary of the Eiec
trio Company Employees Mutual Ben
eft association, stated the men will
strike at midnight on Tuesday unless
their demands are met. James D. Nor
timer, president of the company, who
