Elected governor In 1901, Mr. La Follette launched a fight for the physical valuation of railroads" and the direct primary law. During the succeeding two terms as governor he advocated the regulation of railroad rates by a state railroad commission. These reforms were enacted before he resigned as governor to accept the United States senatorshlp. Senator La Follette aspired to the presidency. Thrice his name was placed in nomination In republican national conventions--In 1908, in 1912, when he charged Theodore Roosevelt with promising to support him and then becoming the progressive candidate himself, and again In 1916.

LA POLLETTC "States senator since his election by the legislature In 1905, Mr. La Follette's personal political hold on the state was never broken. Some of his candidates for governor and other candidates of his Indorsement sometimes failed in elections, but Mr. La Follette himself could sweep the state. His political philosophy was based representative government against what he called big business and special privileges for Wall Street. He made a particularly strong appeal to the farmers and to organised labor. Mr. La Follette controlled thousands upon thousands of republican votes in Wisconsin and also drew upon democrats and socialist^ for support, Coolidge Pays Tender Tribsls President Coolidge sent the following message to Mrs. La Follette: "The news having reached me of the death of Senator La Follette, I wish to extend to you and your family the sympathy of myself and Mrs. Coolidge. "As you know, I presided over the senate for a considerable period while he was a member of that body, and i so came to know of his great ability i and untiring energy. "He has left behind him a great' concourse of friends who will, I know, do everything in their power to comfort you in this hour, but my own experience tells me that nothing mor- : t*ls can do will be of very much help to yon. "I trust that you may, as the years go by, find an Increasing satisfaction la the long list of honors that were conferred upon Senator La Follette by his countrymen." Was Born Near Madison Mr. La Follette was born at Primrose, 20 miles southwest of Madison, where his father, a native Kentucklan, settled as a pioneer from Indianu. Robert 1a Toilette worked his way through the university at Madison, distinguishing both himself and his alma mater by his oratory. He was a colorful, dramatic; forceful speaker In campaigns. Mr. La Follette was.graduated from Mother of Eight Acquitted Kansas City--Mrs. Elsie Honeywell, mother of eight children, was acquitted of the murder of her husband. 8he had testified she shot her husband In the belief that he was going to kill one of their sons. SPECIAL ELECTION TO FILL VACANCY Madiaon--The death of Senator La Follette places Gov. Blaine In the position of determining whether the vacancy In the United States senate shall be filled by a special election or at the general election 18 months hence. Gov. Blaine, it is believed, will be a candidate for the senate. The governor has no power to appoint a successor for the remainder of Senator La Follette's term. Discretion In the matter of determining the election is fixed in a stature which says that if the vacancy occurs more than four months or less than 40 days before a general election, but that If It is not so filled, it shall be filled at the next ensuing genf' eral election. Upon the governor Is Imposed the duty of calling the special election and the preceding special primary. He may exercise his own judgment In fixing the time. The successful candidate will be certified in the usual way. He will receive his certificate of election from the state board of canvassers, which usually completes its work about two weeks after the election Is held. His election will be certified to the senate and he may take his seat when congress next convenes. WISCONSIN BRIEFS The English Lutheran synod of the northwest, meeting at La Crosse, voted to hold Its 1926 convention at Marinette.

Warns Saloon Building Owners Cumberland, Md.--Judge Soper, in federal court here, warned landlords that they wil! be held responsible for renting their premises to persons who violate the prohibition laws. He 1% sued Injunctions in four cases. France Agrees to With U. S --Move Cautes Surprise. Wart^lngton.--Europe has decld^ff tb pay its war debts to the United States. France and Czechoslovakia will begin negotiations for the funding of their obligations late this summer or early in the fall, according to Information given oat at the State department. Belgium, as hitherto announced, will sent a funding commission to this country at once and arrangements have been made to inaugurate negotiations between this body and the American war debt refunding commission about the middle of next month. Italy within the last few days has Informed Washington officially through her ambassador that she desires to reach a settlement. ^ The total indebtedness of these nations to the United States up to date Is: France, $4,210,556,948 ; Italy, $2,138,- 543,852; Belgium. $480,503,983; Czechoslovakia, $117,679,005. Coming on the heels of the steps taken toward a debt settlement by Belgium and Italy, the Intelligence that France and Czechoslovakia also desire to reach an understanding on the payment of their wartime obligations assumed the utmost significance. In the latter cases, as in those of Belglum and Italy, the desire to open negotiations was communicated officially to the State department. The understanding Is that France will be ready to begin the discussion of terms late In the summer, but that a postponement to fall may be made necessary by the occupation of the American commission with the Belgian and Italian settlements. The announcement that France has abandoned Its dilatory policy and decided to settle occasioned considerable surprise. It was only last week that Representative Green of Iowa, chairman of the house ways and means committee, returned from Europe and an interview with M. Callfaux, the French finance minister, convinced that France did not contemplate seriously any Immediate settlement. The Inference from the change of front on the part of Paris Is that the French government perceived the futility and danger of continued resistance to a settlement with America after all the Important debtors had made settlements. France could not afford to remain solitary and conspicuous outside the ranks of debt-paying nations. The decision within the last few weeks of France, Italy, Belgium and Czechoslovakia to seek debt settlements marks the finale of a sublimated fencing match between the keenest wits of America and Europe over the question of paying or forgiving the loans, now aggregating $12,000,000,000, which the United States made to Its allies to help win the war with Germany. The finish represent*-ft victory /or the United States. a__ .• Light Hogs Advancm Gingerly as Runs Wane By Bureau of Agricultural Economics, U. 8. Department of Agriculture. Chicago, Union Stock Yards.--For Week Ending June 19.--Fat cattle prices 'were probably saved from a sharp drubbing by subnormal receipts, runs being smallest of the year. Following last week's severe break, country loadings became so meager that buyers were finally forced Into the market, and competing for numbers, shot prices back to the season's high time. Fed steers grading good ana better are 50 cents higher than a week earlier and light yearlings often show more upturn. Blj weight steers at $11.35 as the week closed were not strictly choice, medium weights "bringing $11.50 and yearlings $11.75. Moderate receipts and general breadth of demand for hogs, especially from shipping Interests, Imparted a persistently strong undertone to trade. This combination of favorable circumstances resulted in a sharp price betterment for all weights and classes, which was sufficient to carry the top well over the $13 line, or around $5.50 higher than a year ago. Medium and heavyweight butchers ruled 40 to 65 cents higher, lightweights advanced 40 to 85 cents, light lights scored 50 to 75 cents gains, a 40 to 60-cent betterment was registered for packing sows and 75 cents covered the upturn for slaughter pigs, Under the stimulus of moderate receipts ^fat lamb and sheep values gain^^25 to 00 cents, respectively, towards the close of the week. Best Idaho lambs realized $16.25, with bulk at $16 to $16.15, most desirable natives scored $15.50 to $15.75, with a few decks at $15.85 and $16.00. tamnacouHT poutrr Ellsworth Saved Two HfMI From Drowning--No Land Near Pole.

Faiman Firm on Germ Plot at Shepherd Trial Chicago.--The last words of State's Attorney Robert E. Crowe to the Jury In flie Shepherd germ murder trial, before resting the state's case, were an admission that he had four more witnesses for whom he was "not prepared to vouch," that he therefore would not call them to the witness stand--although, he said, "they are available.'* . Charles C. Faiman, "ex-president of the National University of Sciences," the man who said be supplied Shepherd with the typhoid gerrns and taught him how to use them in destroying the life of his millionaire ward, Billy McCUntock, was the last witness to give testimony for the state, although It was not the state, but Judge Lynch who called Faiman to the stand. Mr. Stewart of the defense finished his cross-examination of Faiman and perhaps cast some serious doubt on his testimony when he got Faiman to say he had repeatedly obtained germs from the Chicago health department by simply asking for them and presenting no credentials. If this destroys the weight of Pal* man's story. It will be because of a showing that the health department rules do not permit such Indiscriminate broadcasting of disease germs. , Aside from this the Faiman story stood firm.

A small ferryboat used to transport miners was dy namlted, but no one was injured. ©too.--The Dagbladet printed a copyright story outlining some of the experiences of the Amundsen North pole expedition which was missing In the Arctic for four weeks. The newspaper said the story was based on messages from the expedition's Journalist. "In narrating their story on arriving at King's Bay," says the Dagbladet, '•the flyers, all of whom looked worn and thin from suffering, said their weeks upon the Ice was like a fight with death. "Amundsen mentions that the members of the expedition were separated for a while and that Lelf Dietrlchsen (Norwegian pilot of one of the planes) and Oskar Omdahl (Norwegian mechanician) fell In the water and were Just saved from drowning by Lincoln Ellsworth, an American. Meanwhile Amundsen and Hjalmar Rlsser-Larsen (Norwegian plane pilot) were on th» other side of the water. They heard them scream, but were unable to help, as thin Ice prevented using the canvas boat." Regarding the picking ap of the members of the expedition by the fishing boat 8Joellv, vrtilch brought them to King's Bay, the Dagbladet's story says: "The fishing boat SjoellT la • small cutter of twelve tons with a crew of nine men. Her captain Is Nils Woil an. The vessel had had a poor catch and was hunting for a wounded walrus. When off Huggle bsy, on the north side of Spltzbergen, the crew heard motors purring and discovered an airplane ten kilometers away. "They at first thought it was an airplane from the patrol expedition, but when It neared they Immediately recognized Amundsen, In spite of bis long beard. "The explorers all quickly got aboard the Sjoellv and crowded Into the small berths. There was not much food for so many--only seal, beef, cider and eggs. The hawser towing the airplane broke once, but a new one held. 'As Amundsen was told that the patrol expedition was ready to leave King's Bay, he decided to make for King's Bay as fast as possible and leave the plane. Wollan says this was the greatest catch he had made In his fifteen years' experience In these regions." During the day Amundsen sent s dispatch to Premier Mowlnckel Informing the premier that, although he had surveyed 160,000 square kilometers in his flight, there were no Indications of land. 'The cast of the lead In our most northerly latitude," the message added, 'gave 3,750 meters, which leads to the safe supposition that no land exists in the Norwegian sector of the Polsr basin." The expedition's meteorologist, M. Calwag^n- thinks the flight Is of great importance meteorologically. Inasmuch as Ellsworth took most exact observations. Special srtlcles in the newspaper praise Ellsworth as the man who made the expedition possible and say Ellsworth will be popular everywhere; that he Is of the. solid American type and has a charming personality. Viscount Poulet, who was minister of the Interior In the Thennls cabinet of Belgium, has become premier and has formed a new ministry. V. S.

Two Hundr^ Million SaweA by Government, President 1"^ Tells OfficiaUr ^ " . V • ' > i.* 4 ; ' > • Washington.--President Coolidge, Hi a message to the business organisation of the government before leaving ( for his summer vacation, pledged himself anew to a policy of strict government economy that will assure further reduction of the people's tax burden. The President officially announced the pos8ibiIit;- of an immediate reduction in income taxes of $300,000,000 or more on the basis of economies already effected and called for a further reduction in the cost of government which will make possible still further tax lowering. He congratulated government offidais charged with responsibility fop government expenditures for their - patriotic zeal and successful efforts . to keep the budget down .arid reit'erated his plea to the states to assume financial responsibilities now borne by , the federal government. Predicting a government surplus of $200,000,000 for the next fiscal year, a • prediction in which General Lord, director of the budget, joined, the President aroused the enthusiasm of the assembled heads of departments when he announced that the government would end this year at the close of this month with a surplus at $208,- 000,000. • Tax reduction, the President said with emphasis, was the end being sought in his campaign for reduction of government expenditures and reduction of government costs was only the means to that end. "The direct beneficiaries," said the President, "are composed of those who file the 19,000,000 tax returns. The Indirect beneficiaries are all the rest of the American people, who must and do make an indirect contribution to the enormous sum of more than $10,- 000,000 every day in the year which goes out from the national treasury. Following are the chief pleas for economy made by President Coolidge in his address to the administrative heads of the government' here: Aim--We are seeking to let those who earn money keep more of it for themselves. Governmental extravagance violates the fundamental conceptions and the very genius of American institutions. Budget--In the four years of operation under the budget system the annual expenditures have been reduced $2,081,000,000 and the publicdebt has been decreased $3,426,000,000. Taxes--The way has been prepared for further tax reductions. This 1 will recommend to the next congress In the next budget message. If there 1» one thing above all others that will stimulate business, it is tax reduction. Economy--There can be no inters ruption In this .effort for constructive economy in the federal business. To this we are dedicated. It is an effort to enrich the lives of the people we serve. There could be no nobler purpose. Saving--It is my desire that the total of our expenditures for the coming year, excluding alone the postal service, be kept within $3,375,000,000. This is $125,000,000 less than our estl- . mated comparable expenditures fop this year. Estimates--The estimates for the fiscal year 1927 are our next consideration. It will be my effort to hold these estimates within total of $3,080,- ,000, exclusive of the postal service. ^ Duty--We are waging a fight for taxpayers. Waste--There are still reductions to be made. There are yet wastes tobe eliminated. I expect you to prosecute a campaign of relentless economy. You must not, you cannot fail.
