WILL FIGHT TO LAST DITCH • ; # - • •'•V Matter of Cameron Dam Refuses to Surrender Except to Governor of Wisconsin and Defies Overtures of Attorney General. 'Winter, Wis, -- John Diets has iMfused to surrender to anyone but the governor of the state of Wis­ consin and has emphatically declared •uinseif to this edict to J. M. Froelich, the St. Paul envoy, who went to inter- cade In his behalf to avoid bloodshed. To the attorney general of Wiscon­ sin and the secretary of the governor, who accompanied him on his trip to the Diets cabin to obtain his surrender •nd the transfer of the case to another comity, John Diets made the same statements. "Well, this is the end," said Sheriff j Madden when he learned the result of Governor Davidson's effort to bring p«ace to Cameron Dam. "Tlwre if nothing for us to do but to get Diet* and we'll do it." The iittlb log; cabin in which the Diets family lives is built on a little knoll, which commands a view of the forest on all sides, There is low ground on all sides of the knoll except one. About fifty yards from the house Is the stable and just beyond the •table is a cornfield and several piles of lumber. In the conference which failed the officials offered to quash all the in­ dictments against other members of the Dietz family, and all except one of the indictments against Dietz him­ self. Dietz demanded that all the ciTil suits against himself be decided In his favor. The state's envoys were nnable to convince Dietz that these demands were beyond their power to grant, but they still insist be is sane and responsible. With the closing of the conference plans were made to force the fighting. Many of the 100 deputies who have surrounded the homestead crawled within revolver shot of the Dietz cabin and concealed themselves be­ hind staKps, stones and in the grass. Previous to the conference the offi­ cials had understood from Dietz that If all the warrants against himself and his family except the one for the recent Horel shooting were quashed he would come out. After a conference with the county officials it was de­ cided to offer to quash all the indict­ ments against the other members of the family. This WSB done, but Dietz refused. A tentative offer then was made to quash all the indictments against himself except the Horel one. The officials learned that they had misunderstood Dietz's terms; that thfy included the settlement of all the civil suits in which be is involved In his favor. The civil suits include a judgment against Mrs. Dietz for $2,000 in the United States court, much litigation With the lumber companies over the BROWNE PUT Oil THE GRILL LEGISLATOR ACCUSED OF OFFER INQ BRIBE TESTIFIES. Declares Speaker of House Asked Him to Get Democratic Members to Vote for Lorlmer. Chicago.--Lee O'Neil Browne, mi­ nority leader in the Forty-sixth gen­ eral assembly, took the witness stand before the senatorial investigating committee Thursday and told a story with sensational aspects. Among these was a declaration that Edward ShurtlefT, speaker of the house of rep­ resentatives, was the dictator of the plan to elect William Lorimer United Q»Q»^.= » neimior. The minority leader began his tes­ timony with disputing evidence given by legislators who accuse him of bri­ bery. He denied sending for Repre­ sentative Charles A. White to come to his (Browne's) hotel room on May 25, 1909, the night before Mr. Lari­ mer's election. Browne testified that about three weeks before Lorimer" s ejection 8peaker Shurtleff came to him and asked htm whether he could "get the boys to vole for Lcrimer," meaning Browne's friends. Browne acknowledged being in St. Louis June 21. He said he met Shop- hard, Link, Beckemeyer and Luke, and thought he met Clark. They were called to meet him through the agen­ cy of others, he said, to discuss his political future and his probable can­ didacy for minority leader. "Did you ever pay Link or Becke­ meyer $1,000?" asked Attorney Aus­ trian. "No." Browne either denied all the charges of bribery or evaded by an­ swering "I don't remember." Absolute denial of payment of $2,500 or any other sum to State Sen­ ator D. W. Hoi at law or any other legislator in conft^ction with the elec­ tion of Lorimer was made by State Senator John Broderick. STANDARD CUTS OIL PRICES Reductions Made In Europe and the Far East Campaign to In­ crease Us* of Kerosene. New York--J. 1. C- Clarke, through whom the Standard Oil company makes its official announcements to the public, has issued a statement to the effect that the company has en­ tered on a thoroughly mapped out campaign to increase the 'consumption of kerosene in European countries and the lands of the Orient The first move in this campaign is the reduc­ tion of the prices of oil in those coun­ tries. Mr. Clarke's announcement says in part: 'The Standard Oil company has in­ augurated a campaign to Increase the world's consumption of refined oil. The level of prices for refined oil to­ day in the United States is lower than at any time during recent years, and as a direct result of thes<r prices the consumption of refined oil in this country is increasing. The same pol- llcy is now being actively pursued abroad." DIETZ HOME SURROUNDED BY DEPUTIES The sketch shows how the deputies surrounded and drew in upon tha heme of the Wisconsin outlaw.

Springfield.--An Interesting study to the farmer and stock raiser is the cattle barns at the fair grounds,where may be seen some of the best breeds of cattle in the United States. It seems that never before have there been such a high class of breeders as there are this year. Almost every stall to the seven or more barns is filled.

Guilder- son of the state board of health, kept a close watch on the kitchens and dining rooms of the many restaurants scattered through the fair grounds. As a result there has been a decided improvement in the character of the food served^ and the manner of serving. Many complaints regarding unsanitary con­ ditions were looked into and steps ta­ ken to remedy all that were welt founded. "The typhoid fly" which, in com­ mon parlance, is the household fly, has given the state board of health most concern. These pests swarm all over the uncovered foods and drinks, and the board reels that their presence may result in outbreaks of typhoid. Orders have been given that food, meat especially, be kept covered, but it is impracticable to carry these out to the letter, especially in the smaller places where the highly colored "ham-, burger" which the well trained fly will avoid, and other delicacies are cooked In front of the purchaser.

FISHERS MEET IN LINCOLN AGRICULTURISTS GATHER DISCUSS BIG PROBLEMS. SAYS ARMY IS LARGE ENOUGH Ex-Prasldent Declares Most Practical Policy for United States Is to Prepare for War In Time of Peace. Knoxville, Tenn.--Theodore Roose­ velt, in emphasizing the necessity of the United States maintaining a larger navy in his address at the Appala­ chian exposition ' ere Friday, used the expression "Speuk softly bat use the big stick." The ex-president made hiB utterance in (telling the immense audience that the moat practical policy is for the United States to talk peace but pre­ pare for war. "If war were to come," Colofael Roosevelt proceeded, "our army would do well, provided wo gave it a chance to prepare foij it in time of peace. Don't forget that that is essential. Re­ member that if we do have any war we will have a real antagonist. It is not necessary that we have a big army, but v/e must certainly have a great navy. "In going through Europe what im­ pressed me greatly was that nothing commanded more respect ^rom the European powers than our battleship voyage around the world into the for­ eign waters. The foreign nations do not care about our Fourth of July ora­ tions. They do not care when we get out and tell what we can do; but when we sent our battleships around the world--something no foreign pow­ er had ever dared to do--well, that impressed them. "I am a strong believer In peace, but I believe the stronger navy Is needed." Colonel Roosevelt reached Knoxville after a stop at Bristol, Va.. where he launched into a defense of his new nationalism and told the crowd that he was fighting the bosses in New York. He found the crowds that turned out for him all along the way through Virginia and Tennessee to be equally demonstrative as those on the western trip. 500 ARE HOMELESS IN FLOOD Damage to Property In Southern Indi­ ana and Kentucky by the High Water Is $1,500,000.

Lincoln, Neb. -- National problems of great import wer > discussed at the thirtieth annual session of the Farmers' National congress which was called to order Thursday in the Audi­ torium. Every state in the union rep­ resented by delegates appointed by President Joshua 8trange. the governor or other authority, and among them were many men of na­ tional and state reputation who are engaged in agricultural pursuits. President Joshua Strange of Marlon, Ind., in opening the congress stated briefly the purposes and alms of the organization. He said: "The Farmers' National congress stands for better conserving the nat­ ural resources of the country, espe­ cially the soil; for the prohibition of the manufacture and sale of intoxi­ cating liquors as a beverage; for river and harbor improvements; for ap­ proval of national and state forestry bureaus; for the work of the national bureau of animal industry, for the na­ tional reclamation service; for good roads; for teaching agriculture and domestic science in the public schools; for an extension of the par­ cels post and Consolidating the third and fourth classes of mail; for the de­ velopment of Inland waterways; for the United States department of agri­ culture; for restriction of immigra­ tion ; for federal aid for extension work; for an Improvement of tenant conditions; for federal aid to sec­ ondary agricultural schools. The con­ gress is opposed to the existing free seed distribution; to gambling in farm products, to ship subsidies, to weakening the oleomargarine laws."

O. Auten, !n charge of the dairy department, of the cattle barns, stated that there were about seventy-five more head of cattle in the barns un der his supervision than there were the preceding year. Among some of the large exhibitors are the following: F. C. Walters of Brewster, N. Y. (Rockdale Holsteins). W. T. Gatton of Springfield, Oak Wood stock farm (Holsteins). Spring City stock farm of Wauke­ sha, Wis. (Ayrshire)'. Ryangue cattle farm of Brewster, N. Y. (Ayrshire). Hill Top stock farm of Columbus, O. (Jerseys). Sheffield stock farm of Glendale, Q.

Pennington of Pitts- field is assisting Superintendent Au­ ten in this department. The largest cattle building on the grounds is given over to the beef cat­ tle, and is in charge of Superintendent J. RUBS Grace. There are. a number of exhibitors who have not arrived with their cattle as yet Council May Not Be Able to Work. With carnival and state fair attrac­ tions to distract attention .the session of the city council is likely to be short and unimportant. Should the city fathers resist the allurements of fair week and stick manfully to business they have before them the task of awarding contracts for furnishing two new boilers and a new smokestack at the waterworks power plant. Proposals now before the council- men cover such varied conditions they find it difficult to make a selection in ttie boiler bids. Undecided whether it is best to erect a concrete, brick or steel smokestack, the aldermen are having trouble In determining what sort to purchase. The total invest­ ment will reach nearly $7,500. The council also has before it the proposition of allowing a former city employe salary for work said to have been performed after the said employe had resigned. The manner In which Thomas W. Barry resigned is the prime cause of trouble. The civil service recognized the withdrawal of Barry, but City Electrician Rachford, in whose department Barry was em­ ployed, didn't, and kept the young man at work. Anthony Heads State Board. After the bitterest campaign ever waged for the office, George A. An­ thony, a banker of Kewanee, was elected president of the state board of agriculture by unanimous vote. The opposition found themselves outnum­ bered and lay down without present­ ing the name of their candidate, James K. Hopkins of Princeton. Anthony was supported by the Crebs-Dickirson faction, which remains in control of the board. Rain interfered with the plans of the Civil war veterans and of the Democratic politicians for any sort of demonstration, although both crowds were presont in numbers. Governor Deneen will be the guest of the fair board at the annual gov­ ernor's day banquet in the Woman's building. Chief interest in governor's day will center in the round-up of po­ litical leaders on the grounds. To Attend Convention. State Superintendent of Insurance Fred W. W.

One at the entrance to the exhibit of the state food commission brought forth a request from Doctor Egan to Secretary Dickirson that there be a decided change in the man­ ner of removal of garbage at once. It was stated that garbage is removed twice daily, but Doctor Egan cited several instances where garbage had remained untouched for two days. State Senator Schmitt Dead. State Senator Frank P. Schmitt who received the Republican nomina­ tion for ludge of the circuit court to fill the vacancy caused by Judge George Carpenter's election to the federal court, died, In Vevy, Switzer­ land, according to a cablegram re­ ceived by Attorney William Wise, who has been Mr. Schmitt's law partner for the last six years. The death of Mr. Schmitt came as a surprise to his friends and business associates, as. It was not known he had been in fll health. Mr. Schmitt, with his wife and father, sailed for Switzerland May 28 to attend the marriage of their daugh­ ter, Olga, to Frederick Warren, an opera singer. At the time Mr. Schmitt left he was thought in good health. The Schmitt home is at 443 Demlng place. According to the cablegram, the body will be cremated. Mr. Schmitt, who was a native of Kentucky, had lived in Chicago for twenty-nine years and had taken an active part in politics. After attend­ ing Adams academy, Harvard univer­ sity and the Albany Law school, he was, In 1885, admitted to the Illinois bar. Splashing Birds Seldom Forgotten. What Illinois has to offer at its an­ nual exposition is divided into many departments. One which attracts more than ordinary attention is the state game exhibit near the main entrance. Game birds, bred and reared in Illi­ nois, are offered as specimens of what the state game farm near Au­ burn produces annually. No one tires of the game exhibit. Birds of all kind and descriptions are offered. Men, women and children spend unlimited time watching the an­ tics of the queer birds that tread wa­ ter, rest on the weeping willow, and others that amble about anfl give a strange cry. The birds were reared in Illinois, but their ancestry is of for­ eign countries. They were imported and brought: to this state to make the collection complete. The first game bird show was given at the state fair last year. It at­ tracted wide attention, and State Game Commissioner John A. Wheeler sent another collection, which is in charge of several wardens. Boys Hear Commoner Talk. The boys from the 64 counties of Illinois represented at the first boys' school at the fair, remember just one big feature of the fair program--the speech of Bryan. .Usual exercises in the morning were carried out, but in the afternoon Nthe boys were mar­ shaled, and with the girls of the do­ mestic science school, went to the coliseum, where they heard the com­ moner in his lecture, "Prince of Peace." After the lecture the boys, after having been given the freedom of the grounds for a time, returned to their camp. Will Not Canvass Primary Vote. On account of the absence from the city of State Treasurer Andrew RUP- sel the state board of canvassers will not take up the matter of canvassing the vote cast at the late primary elec­ tion. The other members of the board are Governor Deneen and Secretary of State Rose. J^Ir.
