Here’s something in the way of a
New Year’s resolution which, even
if it lasts but a short t rue, should
pro s at least an interesting experi

who are working on a salary which
they feel is “too small to live on.”
Get a little account book and put
down in it for a couple or three
days every cent you spend. Don’t
omit a single item, even to the pen

result will be a revelation.

DEITZ’ SENTENCE REDUCED
Governor Makes the Defender of Cam
eron Dam Eligible for Parole
in 1918.
The life term of John F. Deitz, out
lav. of Cameron dam, convicted in 1911
of killing Oscar Harp, a deputy sher
iff of Sawyer county, was commuted
to twenty years by Governor McGov
ern.
Under the parole saw Deitz may be
released in four years. Petitions have
been coming from every state asking
for his pardon.
Deitz shot Harp when defending
himself against arrest by a posse of
deputies sent to his cabin on th®
Thornapple river. The dam, he al
leged, was the property of Mrs. Deitz
by virtue of a deed to the land sur
rounding It. The courts did not up
hold this contention.
When the Mississippi Logging com
pany attempted to take control of the
dam Deitz took up his rifle in its de
fense. He was captured after his
cabin had been riddled by bullets.
SAYS HUSBAND IS FAILING
Wife Does Not Expect Deitz to Leave
Prison Alive.
“I doubt if my husband will live to
see freedom under the governor’s de
cision,” said Mrs. John F. Deitz, wife
of the Cameron dam defender, when
told at Fond du Lac that Governor
McGovern had commuted his sentence
to twenty years.
“It was harsh and cruel of the gov
ernor,” she said. “I had prayed for
nothing but an absolute pardon, that
my husband, persecuted as he is, is
entitled to.
“I saw my husband only a month
ago. You would not know him. He
has failed terribly. His face is thin
and drawn, his hair almost white. He
cannot hope to live long and I know
we shall never see him again a free
man ”
WRITE OWN MARRIAGE VOWS
Milwaukee Couple Omit All Reference
to Wifely Obedience.
Miss Ella Brockhausen and Hornell
Hart, secretary of the City club, com
piled their own ritual for their mar
liage service at Milwaukee New Year’s
morning.
“There is no reference to wifely obe
dience in the ceremony,” said Hart,
“nor to the father giving the daughter
away. It is an attempt to equalize the
social aspect of the marriage, both to
ourselves and society.”
Hart is a son of Hastings H. Hart,
head of the child welfare department
of the Russell Sage foundation, and a
nephew of Professor Albert Bushnell,
historian of Harvard university.
URGES RISK RATE CONTROL
Wisconsin Insurance Commissioner
Makes Recommendations.
The state should regulate the rates
charged for fire insurance. Such rates
should be made by the companies in
co-operation through bureaus examin
ed and supervised by the state. All
insurance agents saould be qualified
and licenses be made subject to re
fusal or revocation. Fire prevention
work should be pushed. Cities should
be made immediately fireproof through
sprinkler protection.
These are among the recommenda
tions made in the report of Commis
sioner of Insurance Herman L. Ekern,
filed preliminary to the coming session
of the legislature.
