THE MABSHFIELD NEWS, THUBSDAY; OCTOBER 12, 1911. THE MARSHFIELD NEW BLOT MB FALLS IS STRIKE-BREAKERS III FIERCE RIOT IIElHiS TO EI1EET AT MILWAUKEE WISCONSIN NEWS TERSELY TOLD Fifty Out of Sixty Business Blocks and Eighteen Residences Carried Away in Torrent Released by Bursting Dam. NO LIVES LOST; DAMAGE IS OVER $1,500,000 State Takes No Part tn Inquiry. Gov. Francis E.

McGovern decided that the state of Wisconsin would not be represented by counsel at the Stephenson investigation in Milwaukee. The governor mailed a letter to Chairman Heyburn and also notified the Benator by telephone of his decision. Governor McGovern's lett er contains 500 words. In it he stated that in reply to Chairman Hey burn's telegram requesting him to advise the committee as to whether it was the desire of the state to be represented by an attorney, that he found there was serious doubt that he had any power to act in the matter. "Joint resolution No.

58, to which you refer," said the governor, "confers no such authority upon me. It simply requests the United States senate to investigate the manner, means and method by which and through which Isaac Stephenson secured his election to that body," and it recommends that the district attorney of Dane county prosecute persons shown to have committed perjury in the senatorial inquiry, and suggests that prosecutions be commenced in the other counties of the state for such violations of the corrupt practices statute as the evidence may justify." The governor states that in the absence of any specific authority conferred by this resolution the only other possible source is chapter 268, laws of 1911, which after consideration leaves him in doubt as. to whether he is empowered to employ attoi neys at state expense. FIVE BALLOONS STILL IN THE AIR Four Come to Earth, Meet Stormy Weather Fly From Rain Into Snow. City.

Tuberculosis is diminishing In amount the world over, and it is pre- idlcted that In 25 or 30 years it will liave quite disappeared. The decrease or diminution is different in different countries, plainly Indicating that the decrease is one of habit and life. The reduction of the malady is one of the strongest supports of the sentiment of optimism, for it Indicates the Increase of cleaner and nobler liring. The per sonal habit in respect to sobriety, purity, courage, integrity, unselfishness is hurting tuberculosis and all other maladies everywhere. As the world -advances in virtue and honor, its distempers begin to grow Ies3.

This doctrine was announced by John Burns, the labor leader in parliament, and if nis philosophy and fact agree, we all have reason to rejoice. There Is to be another consideration added to this, which is, that the same Improve- ed living that reduces tuberculo sis will reduce our social and political maladies as welL If bad habits make disease, they also make bad thoughts. "We are so accustomed in all these things, to hitch the cart before the horse, that we insist on Improving our institutions without uplifting private life and habit While a rather low percentage of bits was attained with the 14-inch Sun, which is to be the offensive weapon of the new battleships. New York and Texas, it is claimed that one well-)laced shot from this terribly powerful piece of ordnance will fatally disable or destroy any fighting ship now Afloat. And the effective range of the run in nine miles.

A battleship thus armed would put its antagonist out action before it got in range of the other battery. Why, then, are the naval constructors thinking of placing larger guns on future American battleships? The 14-inch gun Is superior to any now mounted in any of the jiavies of the world, and one should. imagine that the best would be good enough. Nobody wants to stop cold storage. That has come to stay, and, fairly conducted, it is a benefit to the public.

Kobody wants to prevent cold storage from affording reasonable returns to those who carry it on. Unless there Is money in a business no one will "want to follow it There are two objections to the manner In which the cold storage business is operating in the United States at the present time. One is that It is creating artificial scarcity and exacting unreasonable profits. The other is that it is ignoring the hygienic welfare of the consumers. Cold storage will continue, put Its abuses must be stopped.

There are always consolations in any misfortune. One Frenchman tries to assuage the grief of his afflicted nation by remarking that Mona Lisa's smile is nothing more than a consumptive grimace. Moreover, it is the secret opinion locked in many other breasts that the famous picture lady would never be a winner in an up-to-date beauty show. An aviator in Illinois broke another record by taking his mother with him on an air ride 2,500 feet high. But then it Is no unusual thing for young men to have their mothers "up In the air." A New York broker Is looking for a vrito who has "the English conservatism and love of home, the vivacity of the French and the intensity and fer-or of the Italian girl." The phrase: "Man wants but little here below" will Xiave to be revised.

It has officially been decided in Boston that a woman is young until she is 25. Only cold, hard officialdom, by the way, even though generous in its allowance, would venture to put a definite limit to such an intangible mystery as a woman's age. Why doesn't the Paris editor chal-. lenged by a lecturer on woman's rights and accused of cowardice because he doesn't accept the challenge, name live mice as the weapons to be used? Patsy Flynn of Hartford, has been eent to jail fifty-seven times In sixteen years, and claims to hold the Tecord. Are there any rival claimants?

It will hear the cases in the ordernamed and has placed the tisk law case at the foot of the next assignment, thus assuring a hearing late thii- month. The other cases will follow at the foot of the November and December calendars. The court denied the application of the Filer-Stowell company of Milwaukee for an injunction to restrain the payment of the salaries of the members of the Wisconsin industrial commission and for leave to bring suit to test the constitutionality of that law. The question of the constitutionality of the act is involved in the case of Borgnis and others against the Falk Manufacturing company of Milwaukee. This case involves the merit of the law and for this reason the court denied the application of the Filer-Stowell company.

In denying the application the court said: "An insurmountable objection arises at the threshold of this case. The Industrial accident board hns ceased to exist. It has been superceded by the Industrial commission. This commission, it appears, is composed of the same persons formerly composing the accident board." Crusade Against Anfmal Diseases. State Veterinarian A.

II. Hart-wig has started a crusade against the importation into this state of animals afflicted with dangerous diseases. Mr. Hartwig declares that not less than 15,000 cattle "from the drought stricken districts of the Da-kotas and Montana were shipped into Wisconsin the past month. Some of these herds were infected, it is said, with bovine tuberculosis.

It is the aim of the state department to weed out the diseased animals as quickly as they land in this state. The department is also guarding against the importation Into Wisconsin of western diseases among horses. All diseased animals shipped Into the state are slaughtered, in accordance with the provisions of law, and the owners receive no compensation. Convention of State Baptists.

Milwaukee, Wis. Legality of the purchase of drinks for voters under the Wisconsin corrupt practices act was a question that arose during the session of the senate committee Investigating the election of Senator Stephenson. Rodney Sackett, office manager at the Stephenson headquarters, testified that it was customary In Wisconsin campaigns to give away kegs of beer and bottles of whisky. "The intention was to show that the leaders were good fellows," he said. "But we never sent liquor to one locality with the Intention of making them all drunk." TAFT'S COW NEARLY KILLED.

Only nine business blocks out of sixty in the business district of this city of 2,000 population have been left standing by a flood which swept down the Black river valley when that stream, swollen by heavy rains, broke its bounds with the washing out of the Dells dam north of Hatfield and descended in a raging torrent. Eighteen residences were also carried away by the flood, leaving that number of families homeless. No lives are known to have been lost. The property damage is estimated to exceed $1,500,000, Main and Water streets, the two principal thoroughfares of this city, were soon submerged under twenty to thirty feet of water. With the big buildings aiso went great chunks of earth.

A hill of considerable size 100 feet from the river was leveled even with the surrounding land. Two companies of state militia, from Mauston and Eau Claire, have arrived and are guarding the stricken city against looters who begun their work with the receding of the waters. The following business buildings, not including about 18 wrecked homes, were swept away by the flood: Jones Lumber Co. Freeman hotel. Journal Publishing Co.

The first appearance of the dis aster was manifested when a vast area of water released by the Dells reservoir swept over the Hatfield dam, six miles below, and aided in volume by the heavy rain of the night before, struck Black River Falls with tre mendous force.

The power plant withstood the onslaught for a time, but finally capitulated. The north bank of the river at this point resisted the efforts of the flood to wear it down, but the west bank, having a less slope, soon gave way. Business men, seeing that a general demolition of their property was inevitable, gathered a few of their belongings and made for higher ground. One after another, in rapid succession, brick, stone and frame buildings were undermined by the water and slowly crept into the river. One of the first structures to go was the Fremont hotel, a three-story brick building, which collapsed and disappeared in the torrent, as did the postoffice and bank buildings.

All the money in the latter institutions was saved and is stored in the court house. The bulk of the stocks of the stores could have been saved had their owners heeded the warning sent them when the water broke through at Hatfield, but they refused to believe that the situation was serious until the flood struck them. Then It was too late to save anything but their lives. Helpless while their property was being destroyed, men went frantic, and all about oat of reach of the water, single and in groups, people fell upon their knees Imposes Fine of One Cent. La Crosse.

Almost every scrap of food in the city, except that in houses out of the reach of the flood, was destroyed. Every grocery store and meat market and other food depot in the city is gone. With the residents facing the immediate problem of subsistence, Mayor McGilvray sent messages to cities of the state asking for Supplies of food and tents were immediately sent from La Crosse and Eau Claire, where money is also being raised for the relief of the homeless and penniless here. The city can never be rebuilt In its present location. In the business streets it is not merely a question of the subsiding of the water the river is running through them.

The new channel occupied by the river "goes through the heart of the town, the river bed having been moved northward about 75 rods and westward 65 rods. What remained of the small dam at Black River Falls was dynamited in an unsuccessful effort to turn the stream back from the business streets into its old channel. Fear was entertained here for towns further down the river, but telephone messages from Melrose, nineteen miles from here with a population of 200, and North Bend, twenty-five miles away with a population of 100 contained the information that both towns were safe. The defective construction of the municipal power plant is held by engineers to be partly responsible for the disaster. The concrete dike of the city dam, just completed, was laid diagonally to the course of the river, instead of at right angles, throwing the flood waters toward the business section when the torrent was released.

Had this protective dike been built straight across to the side bank, the eddy through which the flood got its first opening into the bank where the business section was located would not have existed. JUDGE J. V. QUARLES DEAD Former United States Senator from Wisconsin Succumbs at Milwaukee After Year's Illness. Milwaukee.

United States Circuit Judge Joseph Very Quarles, aged 6G, is dead at his home in this city after an illness of about one year. Before assuming the bench in 1905, Judge Quarles served six years as United States senator from Wisconsin, succeeding John L. Mitchell, Democrat. Joseph Very Quarles was born at Southport, now known as Kenosha, on Dec. 1G, 1843, his parents being among the earliest settlers of that place.

He graduated from the Kenosha public schools at the age of 17, and after two years spent In teaching school and earning money in other ways to meet the expenses of a college course, he entered the Univer? sity of Michigan. When the civil war opened he left his studies and enlisted in the Thirty-ninth Wisconsin infantry, being mustered into service as a first lieutenant. At the expiration of his service, he returned to Kenosha and began the study law in the office of O. S. Head, a distinguished attorney of those days.

In 1876 he was elected mayor of Kenosha and also served as president of the Kenosha board of education. In 1879 he was a member of the legislative assembly, and in 1880 and 1881 he was the representative of Kenosha and Walworth counties in the state senate. Upon the announcement of the death of Judge Quarles, the sessions of the senatorial committee investigating the election of United States Senator Stephenson were adjourned until the following day as a mark of respect to his memory.

That the law passed by the last legislature providing that state lands may be sold on credit is invalid insofar as it relates to school lands, was the ruling of Attorney General Bancroft. The law provides that 'state lands may be sold on credit upon an initial payment of 15 per cent, of the appraised value, the balance to be paid at any time within twenty years.

It further provides that when the purchaser makes final payment he may claim a discount of from twenty-five to fifty per cent, of the full value of the improvements placed upon, the land. This latter provision of the law is held learly void so far as it relates to school lands in that it diverts a portion of the purchase price from the school fund, in violation of the constitution. Another aspect of the law which makes it void as to school land Is that which provides that whenever any sale of lands is made the contract shall reserve to the state for public use one chain on every side of any stream, pond or lake. This feature of the law is only passed upon in its relation to the school lands in the present opinion. There is, however, a nice question as to whether the law is not invalid as to any other state lands.
