Open hearing on bucket shop issue drew mixed remarks
Ex President W T Baker declined to state views on Judge Vails remarks, citing contempt concerns. Other speakers contrasted bucket shops with open markets and warned a ruling could empower problematic shops, while questions about settlement of trades and market manipulation were raised. An inquest into Fritz Radloffs death adjourned after physicians could not confirm a cause beyond possible choking during a quarrel. Wisconsin Central denies plans to build 100 houses at North Fond du Lac.
