Madison, Wis.-The introduction of
bills by committees inste adolf by in
dividual members of the legislation,
lis deplored by Governor Blaine in a
statement today in which he says such
practice "has become the rule rather
then exception"
'sThe result of this practice is to
make it quite impossible for the
executive to ascertain from what in
dividual source such bills originated"
the statement declared. at is clearly
impossible for the executive in the
final jam of explanation whit the leg
islature adjourned to seek out the
author that some light might be thrown
upon a bill so introduced, as to the
authors intent or purpose"
The occasion of the statement was
the executives vote of the senate ju-
dietary committee bill relating to dis
continuance of progress commenced by
municipalities to acquire property of
public utilities under the provision of
Charter 81 of the revised statutes.
Governor Blaine held that as this
does not apply to any actions in the
Dane county circuit court or in the
supreme court, there is nothing to
which it can apply and no reason sug-
gests itself why the measure should
be added to the body of statute. laws"
The bill is referred to as unique ex-
ample of legislative futility."

Miss Marian WOns Main
tains She Never Attempt

GIVES HER OWN STORY

An echo of the incident which &C.
Cured several weeks ago when Miss
Marian Wons, 470 Grover street, was
reported to have been found in the
apartments of Robert A. Wilson, 556
Rowland avenue, upstairs suffering
from the effects of taking a quantity
of veronal in an attempt to end her
life, was heard this morning when
Miss Wons told her story of the cpl
sode, claiming that she did not actu-
ally attempt to end her life but was
"merely blufing in order to force an
interview with Wilson"
Entirely recovered from the nerv-
BUSINESS and hysteria which afflicted
her at the time of the episode, Miss
Wons sought an opportunity today to
tell her story of the affair.

Miss Wons stated that she had come
to Kenosha on the morning in ques-
ton in response to-a letter sent to
her by her mother and that she had
SOUGHT an interview with Robert A.
Wilson because she feared that he
was about to spurn her after friend
ship of several years. She declares
that she had a small amount Of YER
oual in lex possession and had taken
one tebletM of this while on the train
coming to Kenosha. She says that this
was taken merely to aid her in secur-
ing sleep and it was to this she al
luded when she told physicians that
she had taken veronal. rh

"When Wilson refused to talk to me
on that morning, l became desperate

Miss Wons declares that at first her
sister was summoned to the apartment
but that she refused to go home with
her saying that she would first talk
with Wilson. Later she says the po-
lice came and she was taken to the
Detention Home to recover from her
hysterical condition.
Miss Wons admits that she must
have carried her "bluff" so far that it
impressed all those who were sum-
moned to the scene with an air of re-
atty. She sought this opportunity to
state her version of the episode to
the public.
