Among the passengers was Luigi Contranrinl, 34 years of age, who is bound for his old home In Loc-co, province of Lombardl, Italy, keep a suicide pact to die on his sweetheart's grave. Antonio Contanrinl, a brother of the passenger, created a scene and afterwards told his brother's story- He said Luigi became betrothed to Josephine Bullliinl, a girl in his native town.

Her parents opposed the match, preferring a wealthier suitor, and Luigi, with his sweetheart's promise to keep her faith, came to this country to seek a fortune. He established himself in Beaver where he secured a farm. Then he wrote for Joseuphlne to come, but she replied she could not; that her parents forbade; that she intended to commit suicide, and that she expected Luigi to Join her In death.

Senator's ProU-gc Defeated for Gubrr natorial Nomination. Indications are that Gov.

Davidson rarrled the state of Wisconsin In the primary election Tuesday by about 2 to I over Speaker I. L. Lenroot, of Superior, who was backed by Senator La Follette. Although fair weather prevailed throughout the state, it Is estimated that only 60 or 70 per cent of the total vote was out. The greater part of the voting strength was out fn the cities, but the country vote was light, owing to farmers being busy and many not understanding or caring about the r.ew primary election law, which was given Its first test.

One of the surprises of the election was the strength of W. G. Connor, of Marshfield, for lieutenant governor. He ran on the Davidson ticket, and from returns leads Davidson. Connor Is a millionaire lumberman, who two years ago was chairman of the Republican slate central committee.

He was opposed by John Strange, of Neenah, a wealthy paper manufacturer. Davidson is serving out the unexpired third teim of Gov. La Follette, who resigned to become United States senator. La Follette espoused the cause of Speaker Lenroot on the grounds that Lenroot was an able and a stronger man than Davidson, and would conserve and advance the reform legislation of recent sessions better. La Follette made a strong campaign for Lenroot, making many speeches a day.

Both Davidson and Lenroot have been ardent La Follette In the paBt. Practically the only issue In the campaign was the personalities of the rival candidates, though the Lenroot supporters advocated much proposed new legislation, such as regulation of public service corporation and Improved primary election and railroad laws. Davidson apparently split even on the half-breed vote and In addition received practically all of the stalwart vote. The stalwart press was practically a unit for him. Working In Davidson's favor was the prestige of holding office and asking Indorsement.

The nationality question was also Important as Davidson Is a Norwegian and, Lenroot a Swede. The Norwegian vote of the state Is heavy, but there Is only a handful of Swedish votes. STENSLAND TO BE EXTKADITKD. Morocco Will Not Object to Banker's Removal.
