W J' |C p-U VOL. XX XXL NO, OIL BARRED FROM STATE COURTS Schwittay Cannot Practise Law in Wisconsin. FOUND GUILTY BY STEVENS Decision Handed Down in Case of Marinette Lawyer After Trial— Schwittay Seeks Sher iffs Office. Madison. —Albert E. Sch vlttay, dis trict attorney of Marinette county, was disbarred from practising law in the Wisconsin courts by a decision of Judge E. Ray Stevens. Judge Stevens’ conclusions were as follows: “That the defendant does not pos sess a good moral character, which Is a requisite condition to his right to continue in the practise of law. ‘ That judgment be entered abso lutely annulling the license of Albert E. Schwittay to practise as a lawyer before all the courts of record of this state and absolutely revoking the If cense of said Albert K. Schwittay to practise the profession of the law out side the courts of record of the state of Wisconsin. “A discussion of the questions of law presented by each of these find ings is not essential to a determina tion of the single issue presented by this proceeding, which is: Does the defendant possess that good moral character which Is a prerequisite to the right to enjoy tie- privileges which are posscssi and only by members of the bar? When shown that a member of t lie bar does not possess such chai actor, It is the duty of the court to revoke his license to practise and to deny him all the privileges that come with his admission to the bar. ">■ discussion of the rules of law is n<>' .-ary to lead counsel or the court to ti e conclusion that one who has bet a guilty of conduct such as that found by the court is no longer fit to have a license to practise law." Schwittay is a graduate of the law school of the University of Wisconsin in 1901. In that year he was admitted to the bar. Proceedings to revoke his license were commenced in 1904 and he was convicted of the charges against him. After a suspension of three years, Schwittay was admitted to practise again In 1908, and in the fall of the same year began a campaign for the office of district attorney, charging wholesale corruption and graft on the part of men then in office and a num ber who were out of office. He se cured the nomination and was elected, and then began action to secure a grand jury. On ■ of the sensational events of the ‘rial was the disappearance of At tnney John H. Franzke, who was ono h i iii f vitnesses for the tat< He was later brought back and testi fied against Sehwittay. The court fined him SSO for not obeying the sub poena which had been served upon him, and administered a severe rebuke. Before the decision in the disbar ment action was given Sehwittay an nounced himself as a candidate for the nomination for sheriff of the coun ty rmd filed nomination papers August 8. He stated that if he was not dis barred he would pull out of the fight for the sheriffs nomination, and run as an independent candidate for the district attorney’s office again.

Reduced rates of three cents per mile for round-trip tickets, or a faro and one-half, have bee n granted by (ho Western Passenger assoslath n for tin state fair. William MacLaren anil Frank A. Cannon, members of the state fair board, made arrangements for the-reduced rate. An extension of the time limit was granted, the ne* stopover being good for one week. This rate and stopover have been granted for all county fairs reached by the Western Passenger association. Efforts will be made by Mr. Mac- Laren and Mr. Cannon to get better railroad facilities for the great num ber of people coming to Milwaukee on the Milwaukee road. Heretofore the trains have not stopped at the fair ground station on their trip to Milwaukee and much time was wast ed by these passengers, who had to come hack to the grounds over elec trie lines from the city. The tracks which pass the fair grounds are not used for passenger service. The new tracks, completed a few weeks ago, carry both incoming ami outgoing passenger service, while the fair ground tracks are used only for freight. It Is hoped by members of the board that the railroad will run passenger trains over this line during the state fair week. Doctors Convene.

They preserve the tradition of something stable and enduring. Man's use of marble and granite has, of course, dated from the days of antiquity; in deed, of all components of the earth’s crust, no two, perhaps, have been more universally pressed into the serv ice of construction and decoration. The world's yield of the finer classes of marble proceeds from many conn tries, Italy, France, Belgium, Norway, Sweden and America being especially prolific In deposits. \part from the British Isles, where, in particular, the gray Aberdeen and red Peterhead varieties are justly famed, granite occurs in Sweden, the Tyrol, Italy, Sardinia, North America and other districts. Ovalities of Marble and Granite. In chemical composition marble is essentially calcium-carbonate, or car inate of lime. Asa consequence, the stone Is very sensitive to tho action of chemical agents present In the at mosphere. On the other hand, while marble is In tills way more rapidly at tacked than many other stones, its power to resist the mechanical ag<,-nts of weathering, which are generally the most destructive, makes it n compara tively durable substance. The great variety of colors shown by marble 1 dm mainly to tho presence of compan lon minerals. Iron, when present In the ferrous state, produces color vary ing from light to dark green; manga imse and cobalt involve pinkish hues. Accessory minerals, in short, give rise to an almost endless association and blending of colors, shades, veins and patterns. Granite is a crystalline-granular nr; gregate of quartz, felspar ami mica, and comprises ail varieties of texture Generally It Is the constituent felspar which gives the ruddy or the gray ap pearance o.fferentlatlng the rock Un like marble, granite cannot be split up with saws, and hence the expense and labor of quarrying and preparing the latter material for building and other purposes Is relatively much greater. According to the state geologist of Georgia, probably no building stone In tiie United States has In recent years met with such universal favor and g.ven greater satisfaction than Geor gia marble It Is, however, curious to barn that, notwithstanding the enormous quantity of native marble capable of being quarried, and the ;- ■ - which ue United States as a who!" possesses, considerable supplies of tl material are Imported (mostly from Italy) for statuary purpo.o -and in terior decoration. The growth of the use o' Georgia marble for public buildings In America Is, however, pto reeding on satisfactory lines, and U merits arc becoming generally known The Imposing Minnesota state* capiml was built of from Amlcalola quarries, Pickens count;, th- Rht e Island state rap 01, ti. ■ negle public library, Atlanta, and tie t orcoran art gallery, Washing’'.t stone from the quarries <-f a s- •v t n marble company.

The saw Itself is an endless steel rope of three strands, looosoly twisted to gether. This cutter Is passed round a driving wheel and carried on guiding pulleys from a power house at a high speed. The wire saw enables stone not only to he cut, from the rock bed, hut sawn on the spot into blocks of a handy size for export. What Is known as the ihnnneler, or channeling machine, is in operation at all Important quarries in tho United Slates \ locomotive machine, feed ing on a railed track and driven either h“ steam or elect, ic propulsion, it consists of a row of long vertical chis el.', set in a strong tra\ ling frame. The gang of chisels vibrate up and down, ’apidly cutting a channel in any direction in the face of the solid mar ble ledge or floor. In Aberdeenshire, granite areas reach their maximum. The Rnhislaw and Kemnay quarries are the largest granite quarries in tho United King dorn, and have each a depth of TOO feet. The rock is removed by boring and blasting, and as the material is blasted out tho blocks are lifted from ilie working face by cranes and cable ways, masses beyond the power of the lifting appliances being further broken up as they lie. Rock drilling is carried out by power drills, either by strain or compressed air. At the Rnhislaw quarry a complete new air compress ing plant, driven by a 100-horse power electric motor, is installed for working rock drills, tho pressure being lot) pounds per square Inch.
