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.

1 1 ,- Cents a Mile for State Fair.
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.

IN TTIK minds of most people mar
ble and granite, two stones of
widely different characteristics,
ire inherently symbolical of beau
ty, strength and permanence. 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 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)

IS OFF ON 1 HIS CLAPPING
Unable to Achieve Proficiency In
Handclap Used to Summon Jap
Servant.
“There Is one kind of bande lapping
I am not yet proficient In," said the
gray-beaded man. “I cannot call u -
Japanese servant by clapping my
bands I clap, but the servants do not
answer, A friend of tiilno has two
Japanese servants When ho wants
Mention he (daps his hands and one
of them appears. At b!s homo jester
day I needed a sheet of paper to finish
i bit of writing I was working on lr
my friend's absence. I clapped my
bands, nobody came I clapped louder,
,ud again still louder, but the Japan
ese persevered In tb.ir retirement Ho
I substituted calling for clapping and
presently I got my paper. 1 told my
friend of my failure. I said I know
the art of clapping well enough to
make my sentiments known at the
[day, at a ball game and at a political
meeting, then why couldn't I summon
the Japanese?
“ 'You haven’t got the knack,' said
he. 'A white man has to a soclato
with orientals for months before bo
learns the peculiar handclap that they
recognize as a summons.'
“Then he gave mo a few lessons
but 1 am sure that I have not mas
