THAT'S NOT JUST

Water Meters at st. Authony's Hospital
That the City Has Placed.
The city has adopted course with
reference to the water service at St.
Anthony's hospital that is as contrary
to public policy and public welfare. as
the unnecessary discontinue that the
tilt with the sprinkler company oc-
casioned. The hospital is not only a
humane institution. but it is char
liable institution, and many has been
the time that it has relieved the CITY
as we'll as the county of the response
bilities that properly belong to the
public by caring without return for
unfortunates that proved to be public
charges. No one, no matter what his
resources, who needs surgical or med :
zeal treatment or nursing is ever
turned away from the hospital. Re
gardless of who he is. he has the best
the hospital can give him in treatment
and care until he is able to leave the
institution. The hospital is one of
the greatest blessings that has ever
come to Rock Island, an institution
that all people have been glad to con-
tribute to and help, aud yet the city,
that should be last to seek to Cypress
it, is found putting meters in the
hospital with view apparently, to
levying charge for water consumed.
Such an act is not only far from evin-
cling the public spirit in which the
city should lead. but in the long run
it will prove unbusiness-like.

JOHN ]. JORDAN Is DROWNED

Following closely on the sad fAtali.
| ty which befell Otto Hubcrs at the
Hennepin canal at Milan late Saturday
afternoon, as briefly reported in THE
ARGUS of that day, came shocking
similar tragedy yesterday morning in
the death by drowning near Andalu-
STA of John j. Jordan, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. H.. Jordan. of this city.
The news of the latter disaster
reached Rock Island about 1870, just
as people were going to church, and
the sad information spread rapidly
through the city. attended everywhere
with expressions of sorrow and sym
patty for the parents thus bereaVed
of an only son
Young Jordan with a party of
friends had gone down the river in
the gasoline launch Lorraine" for a
days fishing. A landing was made
on the island just below the gap oppo-
site Andalusia and the party prepared
to fish at the old government dam.
Mr.. Jordan was the first TO cast line.
and to do so walked out perhaps 40
feet on the dam and threw. his line in
below where the wafer forms an eddy.
Charles CLANCY, another member of
the party, went out little further on
the dam, and the two stepped into the
water. which appeared to be shallow.
A moment later Jordan apparently
had got beyond his depth and
was noticed struggling in the
water. George Perry by this time
was also on the dam and prepared
to 90 to his assistance, but
as Jordan was known TO be an expert
swim ner and seemed to be keeping on
top. he changed his mind and turned
his attention elsewhere. After time
CLANCY saw that Jordan was sinking
and calling Perry, the two went into
the water, but before they reached the
unfortunate man he disappeared and
was not seen again.
Recovery of the Body.
An alarm was given and several
boats were soon put out from Anda-
lusia aud a search for the body was
begun with graphing hooks. In less
than half an hour it was found aud
brought to the surface at almost the
exact spot where the drowning oc-
CURED. AS the body had been in the
water about three-quarters of an
hour, no efforts were made at resusci-
tation and Coroner Eckhart was mott

Seth Leeman, John Stropes. Charles
Bognar. William Strohmier, and

dence and returned verdict of acct

The body was at once brought to
the stricken home, at 1925 Fourth
avenue. in this city.
The water where the drowning oc-
Cured is about IA feet in depth and it
was almost in the identical spot
where Frank Cushmau. of Andalusia,
was drowned about 10 years ago.
The deceased was % years of
age. He had been employed for a
number of years in the harness shops
Of the Rock Island arsenal and was
Justly a source of great pride and

VOTE WAS A VERY CLOSE ONE
There Was Spirited Contest in
the Grand Grove Over the

Chosen.
VOTE WAS A VERY CLOSE ONE

The principal question before the bien-
nial session of the grand grove of Druids
yesterday was the admission of saloon
keepers and liquor men to membership.
The faction favoring the admission Of
this class of members won the fight
The matter came up on resolution
presented by Odin Grove, Of Minneapolis,
reinforced by a similar resolution from
North Star Grove, of St. Paul Both
favored the exclusion of liquor men A
warm discussion of the proposition en-
sued. and when the matter was finally
brought to ballot the contest appeared
to have divided the grand drove about
evenly. The victory of those favorirg
the admission of this class resulted in
some dissatisfaction, but the matter can
not be reopened until the next biennial
session.
The election of officers was held yes
terday afternoon. There was no con-
test, and the grand grove decided upon
the choice of a majority of the old of
t1cers for the coming terms. Fred Down,
for two years past deputy grand noble
arch, was elected noble arch, and G. A
Johnson and ]. L. Kiichli were elected
agan as secretary and treasurer. w. R.
Winchell was chosen deputy grand no?
BILE arch.
Provision was made enabling the noble
grand arch to appoint one or more state
organizers of the order and the grand
grove adopted the Druid, a paper pub
ished at Winona, as the state organ.
The question of changing the biennial
session to an annual, was the subject of
a half hour discussion without action
The proposition to have all medical Ger
tificates PASSED upon by the board of
directors of the windows and orphans
fund, and the medical examiner was de-
feated by the faction which won in the
contest over the admission of liquor
men. 1t was feared that the board might
use its powers arbitrarily in refusing Ger
tihcates to liquor men. The contest was
close, and roll call was resorted to be-
fore the result became known.
The biennial session closed at o'clock
yesterday afternoon. The members of
the grand grove then became the guests
of William Hamm, and visited the brew
cry on Minnehaha street.

ASSOCIATED PRESS FIGHT.
Answer to New York Journals Pc
titiOn Is Filed

SPRINGFIELD, H., June 2O-In the
supreme court today, the Associated
Press filed an answer to the petition for
a mandamus by the New York Evening
journal The answer touches practically
the same points as that lled yesterday
to the petition Of the Denver Post. The
answer recites that the officers of the
corporation are powerless to furnish the
service applied for, because Ilnoer CON
tract with the other New York papers
unanimous consent is necessary, and the
Press Publishing company, which pub
llsEed the New York World, refuses to
grant permission.
The answer recites that William K
Hearst owns a controlling interest in the
Star (eTening publication and the
journal (morning daily; that the Star is
a member of the Associated Press, ana
that as member voted its eight shares
OF stock at the meeting last month
against the adoption of a motion provid-
ing that the corporation should furnish
service to all persons making application.
The answer denies that an application
was made by the Journal for service until
May II, and charges that the petition is
not hled IN good faith, but to embarras SIS
the Associated Press, and to further the
interest Of the petitioner in its relations
wltt a new corporation in New York. as
a competitor of the press in Illinois
Objection is made that if writ is
granted the contracts with the other
newspapers will be violated, and the
proprietcrs will be released and the AS
sociated Press will be liable in damages.
To grant the writ would be violation of
section TO- article /, Constitution of the
United States, and the fourteenth amend
ment to the constitution.
The answer states that issuing The writ
would involve the rights of the New
York World, New York Evening Post
and New York Stats Zeitung, under con-
tracts; that they should have been made
parties 70 the proceeding because of thar
fact. The Associated Press relies upon
the failure to make these papers parties
to the petition as further defense to
entry of judgment.
