By the Associated Press. MADISON, Wis., February 13.—War- | ington authors, Edith Ogden Heidel and Caleb O’Connor. Mrs. Heidel's play, which was presented by the drama unit of the Women's City Club, under the direction of Mrs. Charles B. Hanford, is called “Empty Arms,” a serious drama, with a tragic ending. It represents the latest work of its author, who has a number of short plays to her credit, sev- eral of which have won first prizes in fare between progressive and cONSer-|yecent Arts Club playwriting contests. vative wings of the Republican party of Wisconsin flared up again yesterday when Special State’s Attorney Arthur Barry recommended criminal action against a group of leaders of the former faction, including Joseph D. Beck, de- fcated candidate for governor. It was well presented by the quartet of players, Edna Ellis Hilton, Ida Garrett Mattingly, Edward E. Muth and Roy Donohue, the latter in the role of the country preacher on account of the ill- ness of Paul Hunter, who was billed to play the role.

Sigman was drawn into the charges because he is alleged to have “maneu- vered the accounts and reports of the Progressive committee, with its consent, to make them conform to the corrupt practices act.” The amount expended would indicate that each candidate used approximately $26.000 in the campaign, the report said. The State law permits the expenditures of only $5.000 for a | United States senatorial candidate, and $1500 for candiflates for lieutenant governor, secretary of State and attor- ney general. The charge against the Capital-Times was based on the publi- cation in a special edition of the news- paper in which the election of Pro- gressives was advocated.
