(U.R A woman, whose father kept her imprisoned In a shack surrounded by a high fence for 50 years and chained her to a crude bed made of boxes when he left the place, sought to awaken her numbed mind today at the state hospital for the Insane. The father, Daniel Kirk, 80, died in the hospital here yesterday. He and the daughter. Pearl, a woman beyond middle-age, were brought here Thursday after Kirk became ill and was forced to end his long Iso lation by appealing to authorities for aid. As told by Sheriff Browning Robinson of Franklin county, Kirk's obsession for privacy followed the death of his wife some 50 years ago.

He built the shack on the outskirts of Benton and took his two small daughters there to live. He built a high wood fence around the yard to keep anyone from seeing the girls. The only time outsiders had seen Pearl Kirk in the 50 years was when her sister Ruby died nine years ago. The girls were allowed outside the shack only at night. Then they were restricted to the walled-in yard.

Efforts of neighbors to compel the woman's liberation always had failed. MAY RECOVER DAMAGES FOR FALSE ARREST, BY SOPREME COURT RULING Madison dV) John J. Jewell, Juneau county farmer', Is entitled to recover $250 damages for false ar rest because a deputy sheriff mistook beef confiscated at his fann for illegal venison, the state supreme court held today. One of three places where Juneau county deputy sheriffs made raids March 4 while in search of illegal venison was the farm of John J. Jewell, not far from Mauston.

They arrested Jewell after searching his premises and confiscating what they claimed was deer, hair and a piece of venison taken from a jar. Although Jewell protested, and claimed that the meat was beef, not venison, he was taken to the Jail at Mauston. Later he was released. Jewell brought suit for false arrest against Sheriff Elmer H. Hcm-pleman, his security, the Fidelity and Deposit company, of Maryland and Deputy Sheriffs Einer Jensen, Edwin Huska, Louis Lartdacn and Percy L.

Theodore Dammann, secretary of state, announced this week that he- would ask the new legislature, when it convenes, to extend tue life of the present 1932 licenses, without penalty. The law requires automobile owners to apply for new license plates by Feb. 1 of each year. Last year the legislature, meeting in special session, recommended extension of this deadline for 45 days.

No change was made in the law, but the secretary of state notified police in all sections of the state that they should not enforce the Feb. 1 regulation of the statute. HAVE INDICATED SUPPORT Similar procedure may be followed again this year. Reports from Madison Indicate that several legislators have inquired what can be done, and that they have indicated support of a plan for time extension. At the present time, It is reported, less than one of every 12 passenger automobiles In the state, which had 1932 license plates, have been registered for 1933.

Total registration for 1932 was approximately 587,000 cars. Applications for 1933 license plates, up to this week, had been 48.200. Registry started Nov. 1, 1932. The applications so far are 30,000 less than the registrations made up to this time last year.

At that time, however, registrations were 30,000 below 1931. A better average of truck registra tion has been made, with approximately 108,000 licensed for 1933, as compared to a 1932 total of 133,000.

A. G.

Schmedeman delivers his first message Thursday. The first business of the senate and assembly will be that of organization. Party caucuses will be held to night. The Democrats, who are in control of the lower house, with 60 out of 100 seats may develop a brisk fight over the assembly speakership witn lour candidates seeking the past. Tonight's caucus will determine whether sufficient support can be lined up behind any one of the candidates or whether the Issue will be carried onto the assembly floor.

Cornelius Young of Milw-aukee and Je rome Fox of Chilton, both members of the last session have numerous supporters in their aspirations for the speakership. Neil McEachln, of Rhinelander, who believes the post should go to a member from the north is a serious contender, Willis E. Donley of Menomonie is a dark-horse. The assembly Democrats will also determine whether they shall retain C. E.

Schaffer, the veteran clerk of that house or give the Job to a member of the party. John McGonlgle, Sun Prairie and John Slocum, Marathon county are seeking it.

LOOKING FOR THE GUN IN SCHILDHAUER CASE Forty jobless men were employed today aiding police in an inch-by-inch search of the vicinity in Cicero where Capt.

Edwin O. Schildhauer, high school bandmaster, was shot to death. The gun was the object of the search, conducted while federal bureau of investigation operatives prepared to query Mrs. Frances Schlld-hauer, the pretty 24-year-old widow, who is soon to become a mother. They planned to ask her about a trip to Memphis with Carl Brad-berry, former deputy sheriff, and her companion in extra-marital affairs.

Melvin Pun-is, chief of the bureau, will decide from her answers whether she must face prosecution on a charge of violating the Mann act. Police Capt. John Stege, dissatisfied with Mrs. Schildhauer's replies to his latest questioning, pressed the search for the .38 caliber revolver with which the handsome bandmaster was slain a month ago. He believes the assassin might have tossed it from an automobile after killing the bandmaster.

Until he finds the gun, Stege admitted, he has nothing definite to work on toward solution of the baffling case.

Lapp, a director of the National Rehabilitation committee, in his talk at the regular Tuesday assembly of the Oshkosh State Teachers college. "We need as teachers not only the ability to teach in the classroom but also the ability to inspire in the students the desire to achievement. A teacher must also be conversant with the families of his students in order to understand the student," continued Dr. Lapp. "Another requisite of the teaching profession Is to instill a greater understanding of citizenship in the students.

People must continuously educate themselves even when they get out of college. The teachers cannot let thoir education stop," declared the speaker.

Lapp then told a story about a girl who had lost 'both arms, a leg, and was deaf, dumb and blind. And she was able to earn her living. "Tell this story to your students and show them what a handicapped person can do. Make them feel ashamed of themselves," concluded Dr. Lapp.

Wilkerson granted Meadowmoor Dairies, permission today to dismiss their suits charging conspiracy in restraint of trade and asking $225,000 damages against the Pure Milk association which buys milk from farmers in four states.

Attorney Edgar J. Cook, representing the firm which has been underselling the association since last May, told the court his client had decided it could not afford the expense of prosecuting the suits. The court declined to receive affidavits and photographs which Cook offered to submit to show that he had evidence on which to proceed. The Meadowmoor firm, operating only one plant as compared with dozens to which the association sells its milk, asked the federal district attorney here and the attorney general in Washington several months ago to prosecute the association as a monopoly. Both the government and the state' attorney of Cook county failed to act.

Cook said he told his client the litigation would cost $100,000 but it instructed him to go ahead. The firm, headed by Clay Davis as president and F. D. O'Hara as secretary, estimated it had been damaged 000 worth by dynamite bombs against its plant, stench bombs sluggings of drivers, ditching of wagons and assaults against its cus tomers and milk producers.
