be excluded from the mails entirely
If 1t is reasonable it's proprietors

Serious riots broke out In AleXan-
dria, Egypt, and before the British
soldiers gained control of the situation
there were many casualties. The ma
tives attacked especially the English
people, but the lives of all foreigners
were in peril English correspondents
there say the riots were instigated by
paid agents and were not an express
sion of political feeling on the part of
the populace. Nevertheless, there is
serious trouble impending in Egypt,
and it is reported that hundreds Of
Bedouins are gathering at Ramleh TO
take part in general revolutionary
uprising.

A raiding party of Irish republic
ans" succeeded In destroying by
flames the historic and handsome GUS
tom house in Dublin. They scattered
gasoline throughout the great building
and set it af1re, and then delayed the
fire department and fought desper-
ate battle with British troops that
came to the rescue. Several of the
raiders were killed by rifle and ma
chine gun bullets, and a number OF
persons perished in the blazing build
ing. All the archives of the govern
ment were burned. The Irish Times
declares that this act of the Sim Fein-
ers Is mot merely blow to Irish pride
and commerce. but 1t is blow to all
our prospects of peace. It's political
effect in Great Britain will be to still
further discredit the republican de-
mands, but the effect In Ireland will be
to increase the difficulties of any form
of national settlement"

Hearings on Minimum Wage Rate.

The industrial commission an
nOunced hearings to be held through
out the state in the first week in June
on the petition of the Wisconsin State
Federation of Labor, the Milwaukee
Council Of Social Agencies, and the
Wisconsin Consumers league, for an
increase in the minimum wage rates
and a decrease in the hours of labor
of women and minors, which has been
pending before the commission since
last fall. On June 1 hearings will be
held at Superior, Green Bay, La
Crosse, and Sheboygan; on June 2 at
Chippewa Falls, Eau Claire Amigo
and Kenosha and Fond du Lac; and
on June at GAINESVILLE, Wausaw, Mil
waukee and Madison. No conclusions
have been reached as yet by the COM
mission or the advisory wage board
upon this petition. Reports which
have appeared that a rate of 27 cents
an hour has been agreed uron are
without foundation. Not even tenta-
tive conclusions have as yet been
reached. In the notices being sent
is made that information is desired
upon the cost of living to selfsuppOrt-
ing women in Wisconsin as shown by
recent surveys and also upon whether
there is difference in the minimum
cost of living in large and small towns
and, if so, what is fair differential.
Information is also sought upon wherh-
In hn nf lob
of women is necessary for their health
and safety, and particularly whether
there are industries and occupations
In which the work is such that an I'M
usual strain is produced, rendering
shorter hours more necessary than in
most lines of work. The commission
also desires information upon any re-
spect In which the minimum wage
law as at present administered does
not work out satisfactorily. The pres
ent minimum rate is % cents an hour,
having been established at that figure
in 1919. This rate allows $40 per
week for board, 50 per week for room
rent, $3.50 per week for clothing, and
50 for incidentals. The petitioners
who seek an increase in the rate
claim that these allowances are too
small, and that, despite decreases, the
minimum cost of living Of self-support-
ing women is still higher than 1t was
two years ago, and that rents in par
ticular have increased. On the other
hand, 1t is contended that the present
time is inappropriate for an increase
in the minimum wage rates, and that
living costs are coming down rapidly.

Fiuht Over Traffic Regulations.

One of the sharp fights of the ses-
sion is developing In the legislature
over the question of regulating high
way traffic, especially that of motor
trucks. Recently the joint highway
committee of the senate and the as
sembly reported favorably on bill
3o6-S, which classifes the highways of
the state and limits the loads accord
ing to the classification. A hearing
was held on the bill, at which the
truckmen protested vigorously against
the measure. It passed in the senate
under suspension Of the rules.

DECISION BY SUPREME
COURT INTERESTS STOCKMEN

OF interest to stockmen is a de-
cision rendered by the supreme court
Monday in suit brought by James F.
Hutchinson, a stockman of Delta
county, against the treasurer, assessor
and sheriff of Gunnison county. The
court decided that an attempt by the
Gunnison county officials to levy
tax upon Hutchinson's livestock under
a provision of the stock law adopted
by the general assembly in 1911 is il
legal. This law provided that in case
livestock ranged in more than one
county it might be assessed in either
county.
Hutchinson's livestock, it appears
from the record, ranged in Gunnison
county. 1t was assessed in Delta
county, Hutchinson's home, but never
theless the Gunnison county officials
made their own assessment and then
sought to enforce payment of the
taxes by taking possession of the cat
tie. Hutchinson, through his attor-
neys, brought suit on the ground that
the law under which the Gunnison
officials were proceeding, was uncon-
stitutional. Their contention was up
held.

An Experience

Speaking of juries, veteran Cleve-
lander recalls the difficulty expert
enced in securing jury in a noted
alleged poisoning case of many years
ago.
One of the men summoned was both
dense and deaf, with a limited knowl-
edge of English, defects which were
developed as his examination pro-
ceeded.
"Have you formed or expressed any
opinion regarding this case?" the law
yer for the defense asked.
"Hay?"

pressed-formed or expressed-do you

Another Who Knew Drake

Publisher Empire:
read in your paper of last weeks
number, letter from an old Gunni-
son friend, John E. Phillips of Los
Angeles, California, about the death
of an early settler of Ohio Greek, this
county, Mr.. d. L. Drake, of the King
ranch, where King, Drake and Markley
run a road house and feeding stables
in the early sos. The Hines people
got possession of that landlin 'S4 and
'S5 and built little town there and
some coke ovens. The Ohio Creek
Ranger Station is there at present.
1 knew Mr.. and Mrs. d. L. Drake.
Mrs. Drake was book agent and was
selling Gen. U. S. Grants Personal
Memoirs" and "Gen. John A. Logan's
Life" by Geo. Francis Dawson, in the
fall of 1887, in this county. The last
time I remember of seeing her, I
bought books from her at that time.
1 believe there are some people in
Gunnison, or who have lived here in
early days, who can give some infor-
nation about Mrs. Drake or her peo-
pie. Yours truly, a,
