Ekern Resigns as Deputy Insurance Commissioner, Making Attempt to Belittle Significance, but Struggle Is Forecasted. MILWAUKEE, Aug. 28. (Special) Politically, perhaps, the biggest event of the week was the resignation of Herman L. Ekern aa Deputy Insurance Commissioner. While an attempt has been made by Commissioner Beedle and Mr. Ekern himself to attach little If any significance to the resignation, it la known that the relations between the two have been very much strained since it was learned that Ekern would be a candidate for the office held by Beedle. While this may have contributed something; to Ekern's determination to quit office at this time, it Is said his real object la to make it possible for him to devote his entire time to the La Follette campaign. Ekern and La Kollette have been political cronies for many years and it was Ekern who managed the Presidential campaign of the senior Senator at Chicago last Summer. That Ekern would cut off his con nection with the state administration thus early la significant, and la Indi cative of La Follette'B conviction that he will have a hard fight next Summer to taln his hold rA the Senatorshlp. A factor that r,olitlciana of both par ties In Wisconsin must reckon with, but which has been given scant atten tion up to this time. Is the position the Society of Equity will take toward In dividual candidates. Except Its offi cers, no one in the state knows the real strength of the organization, but ttiat it Is a power In certain sections of the state, especially in the North west, Is admitted. BEQUEST IS CONTESTED Pacific Cniversity Claim Taken to Supreme Court. ALBANY. Or- Aug. 28. (Special.) Pacific University must contest in the State Supreme Court for the bequest It received from Kobert McCuIlough in 192. Attorneys for the defendants to day filed in the Circuit Court here a notice of appeal to the higher tribunal in the case of the President and Trus tees of Pacific University and Tualatin Academy vs. Emma A. Keene, et al. The value of the .bequest is said to be between $1600 and $2000. When McCuIlough died in 1892, he devised his Linn County farm to his wife for her life, and provided that upon her death It should go to the Foreat Grove school. Mrs. McCuIlough died in 1900, and in the meantime the devise had become entangled by a num ber of deeds and mortgages covering portions of the farm. This suit was filed here August 16, 1906, to quiet the title to the property, and it waa strenuously oontested by the numerous defendants until April 1 last, when Judge William Oallo way rendered a decision In favor of the plaintiffs. The land given to the unl versity Is valuable, but a number of mortgages must be paid and other claims settled before a clear title Is secured under the decree, and the exact value of the bequest cannot be accu rately determined. HARG BREAKS U(J T Declares Dreamlike Methods Hamper West. UNION WOULD DICTATE SPOKAXE PLUMBERS ISSUE TW WORKING RULES. Employers Assert They Will Declare Open Shop Before Accept ing Demands. SPOKANE, Wash., Aug. 28. (Special.) Aa a result of communications containing working rules, which were sent yester day afternoon by the Journeymen Plumb ers & Steam & Gasfitters' Union to the master plumbers of this city who employ union help, the masters may decide to declare for the open shop. The masters declare that the old order has changed; that the employes are now laying down rules to the bosses. The innocent pieces of pasteboard which were received by the masters yesterday are the sensation among the plumbers of Spokane today. The masters assert that if they are obliged to obey the rules to the letter they will be unable to make good on the contracts they now have in hand. It la rumored today that two of the largest shops of the city which now employ union help will declare for the open shop as soon as conditions permit. The rules, 29 in number, relate to the hours of work, wages and the use of tools. The rules supplant the working; agreement which was entered Into be tween the Journeymen and masters on April 1 and broken by the Journeymen several weeks ago. The masters say that the work which they now have on hand waa figured on under the working agree ment and that the rules which now have been laid down are much more stringent than the conditions of that agreement. "UPLIFT" HE SAYS BOSH Maintains Farmers Are Insulted by Recent Movement Raps Conser vation and Holds There Is No Danger Timber Giving Out. Luoerne is to be sole airehlp station for Switzerland, and a station bouse is to be erected at a coat of 700.000 francs. It is h'-ped noon to establish rnlar communication between thLs town and Frie.irlchhfen. WASHINGTON, Aug. 28. Common sense has been displaced by visionary theories, already proved unsuccessful in the problems of the West development, according to Ormaby McHarg, assistant secretary of the Department of Com merce and Labor, who is outspoken in the declaration that too much "dreaming" has been indulged In in dealing with the Government irrigation projects and forest conservation policies In the West. Mr. McHarg handled vigorously the sub ject of the uplift movement, declaring that to have directed a government, of "uplift" among the farmers waa an in sult to the finest element in the country's body politlo and the "absurdest of ab surd dreams." Mr. McHarg In an interview flatly con tradicted the assertion of the forest serv ice that the lumber aupply of the coun try will virtually be exhausted in anoth er generation if the present rate of-cut ting is not curtailed. There Is enough timber standing In the state of Washington alone to supply this country for 0 years," he declared. Vast supplies remain' in other states, said the secretary, sufficient to maintain a supply for a much longer period, which could not and need not be estimated. The abundance of the forests was such that the alarmists' statements as to the ap proaching exhaustion of the supply waa utterly unfounded, he asserted. "Furthermore," said Mr. McHarg, "the forest service has been put In possession of facts and figures proving the truth of what I say, and it has failed to make them public "Methods too dream-like are being pur sued In our forest administration. It Is attempted to designate what tree the log ger may cut down and that which he may not cut down. Knowledge of log ging Is applied. Men who are doing the practical developing work of the West are hindered and thwarted, and you hear nothing but cursing from them for the present methods of forest conservation.' "Out near Cheyenne recently, a woman settler went on a forest reserve and cut rails for a small corral. The forest serv ice have had her indicted for this heinous crin- What do you think the attitude of every man in that community Is toward the forest service? That's the feeling you encounter throughout the West. "Leave the. West alone. Let It go ahead and develop. Let the red-blooded men out there do this work. It won't be long when the East will be the back door of ttie Nation." Mr. McHarg said there was much com plaint in the West against the reclama tion service as It has been conducted. "Extravagance and Incompetency are tne charges that have been made," he explained, "and these are now being In vestigated, I am Informed, In the present tour of the West by Secretary of the In terior' Balllnger and the Senate commit tee." Mr. McHarg said he knew of engineer ing projects in the atate of Washington where It had been assured settlers that the cost would be no more than $35 an acre. "The cost is already 75 an acre," said the assistant secretary, "and the end not yet."

(Special) Knocked down and beaten by thugs and robbed of her savings on the eve of her marriage was the fate tonight of Pearl E. Ax, according to the girl's own atory.

In endeavoring to fulfill the agreement between them, shot himself. One bright spot looms up out of the tragedy, and that Is that both will recover, and as each declare an undying love. It Is likely that they will marry "and live happily ever after." CESSPOOL YIELDS BODY Logger Meets Death 1111116 In Epi leptic Pit. CHEHALIS, Wash.. Aug. 28. (Spe clal.) The body of F. A.
