BKOWX MUCH legislation in the Wisconsin assembly and senate grows out of legislators' "pet peeves" and "pet notions." Many so-called progressives in the present legislature, if measured by the things they want to accomplish, are not progressives a( all, but reactionaries. The situation in this legislative session is simlar to that in previous sessions, only "a little more so." These are outstanding among a number of interesting charges mads by John Callahan, state superintendent of schools, in an address Friday afternoon at the final session ot the convention of Wisconsin city school superintendents In the hearing room the capitol.

col. 3) Report Settlement of Hornsby Dispute Stock to Be Purchased by Owners of St. Loilis Cardinals NEW YORK (LP) John A. Heyd-ier, president of the National league, announced today that the controversy over Rogers Hornsby's stockholdings had been settled satisfactorily to all concerned. Under the terms of the settlement.

Hornsby's stock will be purchased by Sam Breadon, owner of the St. Louis Cardinals, In which Hornsby owned 1,167 shares. were made by all the parties to the dispute, Hornsby, the New York Giants and the Cardinals. Announcement of the settlement was made at Heydler's office. No mention was made of the price which Hornsby would receive for his stock, but it was learned that he would be paid less than the $105 per share which he had asked.

Proposed court action, wheraby the Giants had intended to seek an injunction restraining Heydler from any interference in the baseball star's playing activities, will now be abandoned. Hornsby will bo in the Giants' lineup in the opening game in Philadelphia Tuesday. The meeting at which the settlement was reached was held in the office of the Giants this morning. It was attended by representatives of the National league, the New York club and Hornsby and William Fahey, his attorney. It Is estimated that Hornsby re ceived at, least $100,000 for his en tire holdings, inasmuch as that offer was made to him Friday, although he declined it then.

If he did get that sum, he received a profit of about over the sum he piid for the stock $43 a share. tion in the future in dealing with central American questions. The dispatch of Henry L. Stimson, for- I mer secretary of IViL 'LA I war-. 10 gua, is an euon iu work out an arrangement where, by the danger ot continuous revolution will be diminished.

Whether this will be accum- rdgniUoTonocertagov. a treaTy that will permit American ot elections or some other device is not known to anyone here because when Stlmson gets on and then, together all viewpoints, he himself will be in a better position to recommend a course of action. Mr. Stimson is a lawyer rather than a diplomat. He does not go as a substitute for the American or because there is any lack of confidence in the latter.

He goes primarily because the negotiation of propei "treaty is a difficult matter to take tip by correspondence. Treaty Relations Yagne First of all. the treaty relations of the United States are vague. The fnlted States, under Secretary of State Hughes, encouraged the Central American powers to adopt treaties as between themselves governing the conditions under which they would recognize legal vernments hut the United State was Itself not a party to those treaties. Some of those provisions have been found a bit too rigid and there has been a suggestion to change.

In any event, the United States is willing to make a treaty governing recognition which will at the same time clear up the relation of the United States to the proposed Nicaraguan canal rout. The treaty could be a supplement to the existing Bryan-Cuaniorre treaty, though this point need not be determined at this time. Whatever treaty Is drawn will surely draw the tire of administration critics, most of whom have taken the position that there lias been too much interference already in the internal affairs of Nicaragua and that the example of such interference has occasioned adverse comment in other Latin countries. The sending of Mr. Stimson comes at a time when the Diaz government is reported to have, won a military triumph.

This has been brought ahout through the active support of the American government, so a responsibility now is felt that the situation should be and an opportunity be given for a fair election next years when the term o. piax will expire. It is expected, also, that Mr. Stimson will confer with liberal leaders in the hope or working out a program for handling the next elections that will be satisfactory to all sides. It becomes essential also that no steps be taken by the DlaJi government in a military way which will prevent the defeated faction from participating in the next campaign for the presidency.

Precanilonay Measure The Stimson mission is undertaken at this time as a precautionary measure because if the situation were permitted to drift into the hands of the present government at Nicaragua, other complications might ensue which would not clear up the confusion but add to it and American marines would thus be forced to stay in the vicinity of Nicaragua. A handful of marines probably will be left ultimately as a svmbol of American Interest in the election program but Mr. Coolidge is anxious to cut down the expense of the present occupation of Nicaraguan territory and keep the marines free for other tasks specially in the Jar Mr. Coolidge is following the policy of President Wilson in using personal envoys, a policy that was bitterly criticized by his opponent when he sent John LInd to Mexjco and Colonel House to Europe. The flexibility of a personal envoy, however, is considerable and there are advantages in having a free lnncd who is responsible only to the president and who is not required to consider his own future in the diplomatic service in every report he writes.

This is the first personal envoy Mr. Coolidge has used but It probably will not be the last as the method has been found useful in the past in overcoming much ot the Ted tape of diplomacy.

C. Hopp-mann's court a year ago in the case of Rudolph Jessner, convicted of the murder of Patrolman Palmer Thompson, has. been taken to the supreme court by Attorney F. M. Wylie, counsel for Jessner.

A writ of error was Issued late Friday by the supreme court and filed this morning in tho office of Herbert Hansen, clerk of circuit court. It is returnable at the August session of the court and the appeal will be heard sometime next fall. Mr. Wylie will file a brief with the supreme court setting, forth his objections to the course of the trial and testimony relating to these al legations will be reviewed by the court. Attorney William Rubin, Milwaukee, who was a member of the defense counsel, will also appear at the hearing.

Bond Waived A bond of $230 is required by statute in all appeals to the supreme court but Attorney General John W. Reynolds waived this requirement following an affidavit filed by Mr. Wylie showing that Jessner is indigent. At the time of the trial a year ago both Mr. Wylie and Mr.

Rubin an nounced that an appeal would taken. No action was taken until this time, although Mr. Wylie askpd a pardon for Jessner which was not. acted upon by Gov. John J.

Blaine. The Jessner case was one of the most widely known crimiiral cases ever tried In Dane county. Jessner, a restaurant owner living in Co lumbus park, killed Patrolman Palmer Thompson a year ago last January. Alleged Persecution He gave himself up after the slaying and pleaded not guilty when arraigned on a charge of first degree murder. Rubin, a well known Milwaukee lawyer, was retained to aid Mr.

Wylie as defense counsel and during the course of the trial the Ku Klux Klan, and the Madison police department played an important part, Jessner claiming he was persecuted by klan police officers. The trial last several weeks and the jury returned a verdict of first degree murder after deliberating only a few hours. Confirm Report of Killing by Mexicans U. S.

(4:30 p. Mrs. Mil-dred Mitchell, ot San Francisco and Honolulu, and Wilbur Burton, of Columbus, Americans arrested Tuesday by Chinese police on charges of engaging in nationalist propaganda, were released today. The United States legation compelled the release of the Americans following the failure of the Chinese police to take legal action to obtain warrants for them. The United States consul came from Tientsin, but steadfastly refused to issue the warrants (presumably because the Chinese had not complied with the legal formalities).

The couple, remained in the hotel where they had been since 3:30 p. Tuesday, in custody ot the Chinese police. Attorney R. T. Evans said that Mrs.

Mitchell and Burton's detention was outrageous and illegal. He demanded that the legation act in their behalf. After a two-hour conference In which United States Minister John V. A. MacMurray and Councillor Mayer, participated, representatives of the legation went to the hotel and removed the couple from the custody ot the police.

Americans were becoming panicky In Peking and many American women were leaving for Korea and Japan, ostensibly on vacations. No evacuation order has been given, but It was believed that wives of many persons at the American legation would leave soon. Mrs. John V. A.

Tift as a modern Simon Legree who tortured and flogged prisoners wer unfolded today to the legislative committee investigating prison conditions by a "lifer" and a youth who has served two terms in Waa-pun. Earl W. Loveday, convicted mur derer and described by Deputy Warden Taft as one of the worst of the nrison imates. was the He pictured Warden Taft as a brutal disciplinarian who stopped at noticing to cow the prisoners. The story told by R.

E. Caesar, i Racine youth who Las btaa a prison. Inmate, was the more bizarre, however, and equalled even the mot ferocious of mediaeval torture. Punished for Talking Ceasar, who was brought here from Racine, said an iron was strapped around his head, the point In his mouth and the two other sides gripping his cheeks, as punishment for talking. He was left this way for three hours, he said, chained iJ a cell.

His throat became so inflamed that he was unable to drink and he was removed to a hospital under orders from a doctor, but deputy Taft ordered him returned to solitary confinement after the doc-tor left and he spent seven djij'Sr there, he declared. Loth Loveday and Ceasar have served terms in other prisons and they declared the treatment ot prisoners In Wisconsin is much more severe than in other institutions. The men stated the inmates are afraid of Taft because of his brutal ways. The allegations of Loveday were more lengthy and nearly as startling as those of Ceasar. The "lifer" said two men have died as a result of ill-treatment at the prison.

"I know prisoners have been flog-fotl, tortured and murdered here and I could give you proof," he said. He told of the case of an inmate named Holmes, a consumptive. Because ot his condition Holmes was unable to work, Loveday said. Deputy Henry Stanchl sent Holmes to Deputy Taft because the man was not doing his work and Taft sent him to work again, the prisoner said. Holmes collapsed.

The legislature legally cannot recess longer than three days and it was contended by some that, with the senate adjourning from Friday to Wednesday, the law had been violated and that the legislature had no choice but to adjourn its session, because if subsequent meetings of the legislature were illegal then all future legislative actions might be knocked out in the courts. The attorney general's office is looking up all precedents on the question pending the coming opinion and it is claimed that research so far has shown that there Is nothing to force the legislature to quit now, Lieut.

Gov. Henry Huber, presiding officer of the senate, pointed out that even if the senate adjourned longer than permitted legally, there is no remedy provided. Congress has a similar three day recess limitation, he said, and when congress adjourned for a longer period than that, the only thing done was to make a notation on the record the days had been miscounted. The possibility that the legislature might be forced to quit immediately for the session caused much discussion among members for several days. Some suggested the legislature adjourn and the governor could then call a special session to clear up financial bills and probably one or two other Important ones, leav ing the bulk of legislative matters to die a natural death.
