ATHLETIC NOTES

Mem bers of the Rock Island high
school football team take exception
to the acrid fling that appeared in a
Yesterdays Davenport paper as fol-
lows: Rock Island will not have a
game Saturday. The team does not
dare to get out on the gridiron once a
week for fear of being SO damaged
that il cannot play the next, and
therefore practices two weeks before
venturing a game. Davenport will
play every week even il it loses some
of the games, of which. however, the
boys have no fear" Rock Island does
have a game Saturday and expects to
win it. too. Judging by. the perform
ance of last Saturday. Davenport has
nothing in particular upon which to
plume itself except possibly "beef :"
1t is morally certain that if Rock
Island had not been handicapped in
weight week ago the visitors would
have been administered a rubbing.
and lest they become too uppish they
had best remem Der that Rock Island
will have another opportunity to even
matters up.
Benefits football eleven will play
the Moline Filth ward team Sunday
afternoon at tho Athletic park in that
city. The local team has had little
practice, but there are some good in
dividual players in the bunch who
hope to overcome lack of team work.

THE PRINCETON TRAGEDY:
TROUBLE WAS EXPECTED.

The murder and suicide in Prince
ton was the eftopic of conversation
yesterday in the north part of the
county, where a great many people
were personally acquainted with one
or the other of the aged pair. The
woman who was the vic i'm of bull
let wound caused by ball from a
rifle in the hands of her husband was
esteemed to be of unu lal intelligence
She had been q canvasser much of her
life and had been successful in
that line of business. She always
dressed neatly and kept her home in
apple pie order. AS to her troubles
with her usband, il. indeed, there
were any. it is not proper to speak.
Mr.. Mckinney. however, was a man
who drank q great deal. and of late
years, it is said, lapsed into danger
Gus moods when he was deep in his
cups. There is no doubt there was
trouble of some kind or other over
the settlement of property interests
and those acquainted with the nature
of these and with the habits of the
old man were not greatly surprised
at the horrible news that Mr.. McKin-
ney had shot his wife and then him.

temperance union at Galesburg was
marked by a warm discussion of q
resolution by Miss Marie q. Brehm,
of Chicago, abolishing district or

gates were trying TO get the fl Dor.
Miss Brehn. contended that re-
apportionment of the districts every
10 years works great harm to district
organizations, and that in no other
state is the district system main
tanned. Others zsalously defended
The district plan, and as a result Mis-,
BTehm's motion was defeated.
A motion to Increase the dues from
so cents to 81 elected another warm
de bate, and was defeated. Miss
Brehm then gave notice that at the
next annual convention she would
present a new constitution, provid ng
for the abolishing of the district
system, for raising the dues to 81.
aud limiting the time of holding any

MANILA, August 25.-In the city OF
Manila there are now less than .0eo
effective soldiers. and 1t has been de-
cided to increase this number by four
companies of infantry. The official
reason for the increase is that the
guard duty is too heavy for the present
force. AS a matter of fact however
there is a feeling that although there
is no apparent prospect of trouble. new
ertheless In the event of an uprising
in the future. such as is always posi-
bic among the Malays. it would be bet
ter to have a sufficient body of troops
available for such an emergency.
General Chaffee says he considers the
city of Manila 10 be perfectly orderly
and he can see no prospect Of an up
rising. Commissioner Wright thinks
the people extremely peaceable." He
is satisfied that. although among GER
tain class there is some discomfort on
account Of the land tax which is not
yet understood. this CLASS is not likely
to foment trouble. Many army officers
express themselves as gratiied at the
increase in the military force. They
think that, with the military guard
withdrawn from the prison. another up
rising there might result In the release
of some 500 prisoners. The POSSIBLE
ity is regarded as menace to the city
by those who take that view Of the case,
as they regard the white guard as in
sufficient. Civil officials look upon this
contingent as unlikely, inasmuch as the
six hundred white police could mobilize
at the prison before any of the prison
ers could escape and become dispersed
throughout the disaffected district.
Word was received to-day that tho In
surgent Colonel LeEell seventeen officers
and thirteen men surrendered yesterday
to Captain Brown. Of the Fourth infant
ry, at Talisay. The surrender OF numer-
Gus other smaller contingents hast week
brings the total 10 more than one hun
dred. Governor Taft IS expected TO return
to Manila Tuesday after having appointed
civil officials throughout all northern Lu-
ION.

GEORGE WESTINGHOUSE
Makes n Statement Regarding the

NEW YORK. August 2h--George West
inghouse. who on his return from England
yesterday refused TO discuss the affairs Of
the District Underground Railway OF Lon
don. OF which Charles r. Yerltes IL in
control, changed his mind to-day lie said
that In view Of tire statements which had
appeared in print he thought the public
might az well have tho matter straight.
He then went on to say that there were
no differences between Mr.. Yerkes and
himself. and that M Yerkes has awarded
TO the British Westinghouse Company the
contract for thirty Thousand horse power
engines and generators for his metropol-
itan district railway enterprise, and viii
require much more apparatus, the manu-
facture OF which in England viii be
advantageous 10 his interests on the
question Of certain spirit OF hostility
which. according TO some London dis
patches. is said 10 have developed in that
city against the American control OF the
metropolitan district road and against the
improvements on tho same by American
companies. Mr.. Westinghouse had this 10
say:
while IT IS true that some hostility has
been displayed this really does not amount
to much The public wants the improve
ments that are now under way and while
they might prefer to have them az the
result of British enterprise they are glad
to have them regardless of the source.'
