Passes Away-Other Obituary.
Merton Yale Cady, of Moline, died
at II O'Clock yesterday morning at
the Hotel Metropole, Chicago, of
pneumonia, an attack of which followed
physical collapse caused by the
death of his wife three weeks ago.
During Mrs. Cadv's four years illness
her husband had been her constant
attendant. A week ago yesterday he
went Chicago for medical aid, but his
condition grew rapidly worse, until
the end came at the hour stated above.
Mr.. Cady was Il native of Herkimer
county, n. Y, where he was born
May 20, 1910, the son of Ira and Clo-
tilda (Yale) Cady. His maternal
grandfather, Linus Yale, was the orig
inal inventor of the celebrated So
called Yale" lock. Mr.. Cady received
an early training in the laws of me-
chanics under the tutorship of his
gifted grandfather, which proved of
great practical use to him in the
course of his life, devoted, as it had
been, largely to mechanical pursuits.
He removed with his parents in
1857 to New York City, where he was
employed in the manufacture of the
Yale lock and burglar-proof mechan-
ism. Having a natural turn for such
pursuits, he devoted himself with
ardor to the business, at which he ul-
timately became an expert. He spent
three years in New York City under
the best masters in the study of archi-
lecture. He was subsequently en-
ployed with his father in erecting
IRON fronts for city buildings.
In the spring of 1872 MIR. Cady be-
came n resident of Chicago, where he
remained till 1873, when he removed
to Moline and became proprietor of
the well known Attorney Hill farm,
formerly John Deere's blooded stock
farm. In addition to the care of his
stock farm, Mr.. Ctdy had been busily
employed in his profession as archi
tect, having designed the waterworks
and various other buildings in Moline.
Mr.. Cady was married ut Moline Jan.
II, 1865, to Miss Alice, youngest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John Deere.

Other Arguments.

Among many other additional ar
guments we are proud OF the fact that
the city of Moline had the honor of
sending more men to the front during
the Spanish-American war than any
other city of it's size in the United
States-over 500 men having enlisted
in the army and navy from Moline
alone, and at both Moline and Rock
Island there is division of the naval
reserves at the present time.
I'VE trust you will see your way
clear to accept this invitation and as
sure YOU of a hearty welcome"

The performance of What Hap
pened to Jones" at Harper's theatre
saturday evening was on the whole a
disappointment. While John Allison
in the leading character of Jones"
displayed cleverness. it is astonishing.
especially,a as in the case of this piece,
where everything depends on the peo-
pie who essay the roles, that the man
agement should assign people to the
cast who are so unqualified as are
several of the members of the compa-
ny in question. For instance, Charles
Charters made a ridiculous por
trayal of the character of Richard
Heatherly." How this young man
happened to work onto the stage is n
mystery. One would imagine he had
recently been operating the windlass
at the lie Claire lime kiln. II. G..
Hockey as "Ebenezer Goodly" was
hardly passable in the role. 1t can
he said that ii. w. Montgomery look
ell the part of Rev. Anthony Goodiy.'
The characters of 'Cissy'' and
Mrs. Goodly" were fairly well sus-
tanned by Florence Marion and Marie
Haynes, respectively. As TO the others
of the cast, they do not deserve mem
ton.
The Air Ship" spectacular farce,
was presented before good
sized audience at Harper's theatre
last night. it was throu ghout a
ivelylperformance, interspersed with
neat specialties, and was enjoyed by
those who sawiit.
The original and only genuine bio
graph motion pictures of the famous
Jenries-Sharkey contest will be ex-
hibited in Davenport Wednesday at
the Butts opera house. These pic
lures are marvels of accuracy, and
present in the most minute detail
every incident, preliminary to. con-
current with and subsequent to the
most remarkable battle in the annals
of the modern prize ring. The dis
play req uires two-and-one-halfh hours,
necessitating the unreeling of seven
and-one-half miles of films, contain
ing 2l6,OO separate photographs,
and altogether comprises one of the
wonders OF present day photography
in the presentation of one of the
wonders of modern athletic contests.

Few New Developments I'm the Cas-
Yesterday.

There were few new developments in the
Weiss case yesterday. Two witnesses have
been found who claimed to have been in
the saloon and to have seen Weiss stand
ing behind the bar with blood running
down the back of his head. Another wom-
an was found who claims to rave heard a
scuf1e or similar noise in the saloon.
The most likely solution to the case yet
found is the story told of a man who en-
tered the saloon early one morning about
three weeks ago, and, after asking for a
bottle of whisky, said he would pay for il
later. After a few words Weiss started to
get his revolver. which at that time is said
to have been empty. He went to the rear
of the saloon and asked his wife for car
tridges, but did not get them. The stranger
drew a knife, and when he tried to assault
Weiss was knocked down by the witness.
He threatened vengeance.
1t is also said that a short time after
Weiss got cartridges for his revolver.
which he put into his pocket and went to
a saloon not far away. where he made in
quiries for the man who had attempted to
assault him, saying that he would kill him,
IL found. Then he asked all those in the
barroom to have a drink with him. and,
after blowing the foam from a glass of
beer, fell TO the floor in commissions, to
which, IL is said, he was subject.

HOSPITAL TO BE ENLARGED.
improvements Contemplated for a
City Institution.

The members of the Board of Public
Health, Board of Public Works and Mayor
Taggart visited the City Hospital yester-
day to investigate the need of new i'm
p~rovements at that institution. Architect
Scott Moore accompanied the party and
will prepare plans under the suggestions
of Superintendent Poucher, of the hospital.
After being shown over the building by
Superintendent Poucher. the members of
the two boards and Mayor Taggart real
lied the necessity Of speedy improvements
to relieve not only the present congestion
but also the increased patronage of the
hospital in the future. 1t is the intention
to recommend the erection of an additional
wing to the north and east sides of the
present building which will be forty feet
wide, 135 feet long and three stories high.
The offices. living rooms Of the superin-
tendent. internes and nurses and dining
rooms and kitchen will probably be located
in the new addition and the quarters FORM
erly occupied by these departments in the
present building will be converted into
wards for patients. Mr.. Moore and Super
intendent Poucher will confer this week on
the plans for the new addition. 1t is also
probable that a new building for contag-
icus diseases will be erected.

CHAIRMAN HERNLY BACK
HE VISITED WASHINGTON, PHILA-
DELPHIA M NEW
He Denies statements Concerning
Himself I'm the Afternoon Pa
pers-POIiticai Notes.

Charles S. Hernly. wearing a new brown
checked suit of fashionable cut and a new
Easter hat. arrived from the East yester-
day afternoon. The chairman of the Re-
publican state committee went to New
York a week ago, and on his way home
stopped at Washington and Philadelphia.
In the latter city Mr.. HernIy made final
arrangements for the entertainment of the
Indiana delegation during the national con-
vention. The Lafayette House will be
headquarters for Indiana people. Mr.. Hern-
ly has arranged for the entertainment of
eighty people. but says many more can be
accommodated if they desire to go.
While in Washington Mr.. Hernly dined
With Senator Fairbanks and was assured
by the latter that he did not care 10 pre-
side over the Republican state convention.
Mr.. Fairbanks said he had expressed HIM
SELF in this way to all those who had writ
ten to him in reference to the chairman
ship. Mr.. Fairbanks will attend the con-
v~ention. however, and expects to arrive
here next Sunday or Monday. He will oc-
u Suite 1856 and 1877 at the Denison.
Chairman Hernly announces that all of the
Indiana representatives in Congress will
attend the convention, and arrangements
will be made for their entertainment at
the Denison. Senator Beveridge 1t is feared
cannot come on account of his wife's ILL
ness.
Mr.. HernIy saw Chairman Hanna and
several other members of the national COM
mittee while in Washington. He talked to
Mr.. Hanna about political conditions in In
diana, but says the platform and the chair
manship of the state convention were not
discussed. He says he talked to Mr.. Hanna
about campaign literature among other
things. They also discussed the organiza-
ton in Indiana, and Chairman Hanna ap-
peared to be well pleased with the reports
from this State.
Chairman Hernly came back wearing a
handsome gold horseshoe pin in his scarf.
See that PIN" he asked. II won that on
a wheel of fortune in New York. A horse
shoe Is always a good omen for me. The
day L was elected state chairman the first
time L found a large horseshoe in the
street. L picked IL up and carried Ii to my
office and have it yet. Horseshoes, a rab-
DTS foot, the fad of looking over ones
right shoulder at the moon and precinct
sommitteemen are my long suit. They
kind of a charitable affair. staked a
dollar and this Is what drew"
Chairman Hernly only spent a short time
in the city after mis- arrival from the East.
He went to New Castle to spend Sunday
with his family. He will return on Tues
day and on Wednesday afternoon will pre-
side at a meeting of the state committee.
There's one thing L want to say he re-
marked to a Journal reporter, and that
Is that some of the newspapers lave init
mated that / went to Washington for the
purpose of fixing the convention chair
manship. I'd like to announce that L did
nothing of the sort, and I'd like to add that
If 1 wanted to fix anything L would never
go TO Washington to do It,"

TRAVELLERS ENTERTAINED.
Guests of the Il. ID. LsycOck Manufac
turing Company.

About one hundred members of the Com
mercial Travellers Club boarded two spe-
cial street ears yesterday morning and
went to the Laycock furniture factory,
located at Tenth street and the canal. The
occasion was ar invitation of the owner
of the factory TO the travelling statesmen
to come and investigate the progress made
in the factory toward making it an ideal
working place. Arriving at the factory
the guests were seated at a luncheon. and
Ira Jones. president of the Commercial
Travellers Club, who was in charge of the
party. mad a short address. He was fol-
lowed by State Factory Inspector McAbee,
Mr.. Laycock and G.. E.. Coffin, vice presi-
dent of the company. The party made a
tour of the building. which required about
an hour and a half. during which time they
took a keen interest in the improvements
which have been made to realize an ideal
workshop.

MIR. wilson's Denial.

Charles Z. Wilson. secretary to Cover
nor Mount, returned from the East yes
terday morning. In speaking of his trip
yesterday afternoon he said: my bust
ness in the East was altogether private.
AS far as my being in Washington in the
interest of Governor Mount or any one
else Is concerned, there is not a word of
truth in Ii. / did see Mr.. Hernly while in
Washington, but it was altogether by acct
dent, and the only conversation / had with
him was in reference to his return to this
city. AS for the Indiana representatives
in Congress being in favor of Governor
Mount for chairman of the state con-
V~ention, L feel quite sure that his selection
would be quite satisfactory TO them. 1t
is, however. the intention, not only of the
representatives. but of the senators, to
have nothing whatever to do with the Sc
lection of the chairman"
