BISHOP Won SCHEELE TO BE
ENTERTAINED BY THE CLUB

As it will be some little time be-
fore the bowling alley is completed.
the directors of the Rock island Club
at their regular meeting last night
did not fix the date of the formal

thought the opening, which will be
celebrated with smoker, will occur
early in December.

matters, appointed a committee to
arrange for the entertainment of
Bishop Won Scheelc, the distinguish
ed Swedish divine, during his visit at

LOCAL INTEREST IN THE
LEAVENWoRTH DELIVERY

More than the ordinary local in
terest attaches to the federal Jail
delivery at Leavenworth yesterday
from the fact that the warden, X.
W. McClaughry. was formerly a resi-
dent of this congressional district,
living at Monmouth, and was at one
time a rival of Col. Marsh for con-
gressional honors. During this cam
paign the famous MarshMcLaughry
fight was developed. After leaving
this district Mr.. McLaughry was
warden of the state penitentiary at
Joliet, superintendent of the police
of Chicago, warden of one of the
state prisons of Pennsylvania and
again had charge of the Joliet insti-
tuition before going to Kansas.

PRISON BAR IS SAWED.
Accident Probably Prevents a De-
livery at the County
Jail.
BLADE BROKEN DURING OPERATION
itentiary, Engineer of
the Plan.

Although John Thomas Williams,
so-called, who was taken earlier in
the week to Joliet to enter the
states prison for burglary commit
ted at the Buford mansion on EiCh-
teenth street, has already served
three terms behind the bars in state
institutions, developments since his
departure from the county Jail rem
der ii plain that he was not looking
forward to his re-incarceration with
feelings of pleasant anticipation.
In fact it develops that he was lay
ing plans to get outside of the de
tanning walls where he could give the
sheriff's force one of those merry
chases in which he led Mayor Knox
and portion of the Rock Island po-
ice force on the occasion of his cap
turc here.
Saw Found In Old Trousers.
After the sheriff had gone with
Williams and jackson Wednesday
morning Bailiff Larson took the
trouble to examine pair of trous-
ers that Williams had worn which
were hanging in the Jail. In one of
the pockets he found the broken
parts OF Il saw blade of the sort used
in cutting through metal. His sus-
pIcions becoming aroused. he began
an investigation which resulted in
his finding that the heavy iron bar
which serves as Il brace for the steel
partition of the bull pen in the
Jail, had been sawed entirely off at
one end and the cutting of the other
end had been begun. This bar is an
inch and a quarter in diameter and
several feet in length and in the
hands of the prisoners would serve
as a death-dealing weapon or an in
strument to batter a road to liberty.
1t would have probably been put to
the latter use.
Lucky Accident.
Where the saw came from is not
known. The blade is only about
three-eighths of an inch in width and
was intended to be used in a frame.
Being very hard and brittle it had
work. thus very materially hindering
ITS completion. If il had not been
for this accident there would in ali
probability have been a Jail delivery
and the authorities would have
found a gang of desperate men head
ed by such Il powerful fellow as Viii
Iiams n rather difficult proposition
to handle, even if they had been
caught in the act of escaping. The
bar mas been taken out and welded
at a blacksmith shop.

Wrong In Theory.

The spirit of the times in progress
i've cities, not only the greater ones.
but in many no larger than Rock Is
land. is to adopt advance methods
for the perfection of it's fire depart
ment rather than to evince a retro
grade tendency. The policy has been
even with those cities that have had
the advantage of the direct automat-
ic alarm system, to remove the de-
lay that might be incurred in un-
locking the alarm boxes by doing
away with the keys in the business
and manufacturing districts and sub
stituting n simple handle by the
turning of which the box may be
opened and the lever pulled that
sends in the alarm instantaneously.
We want no telephone and no relay
of any kind in summoning the fire
department. The get-there-quick
signal is the only efficient, reliable
means. The less complication the
better the service. The people OF
Rock Island want what other cities
of their class have-the system by
which all that is necessary is to pull
lever and the alarm does the rest.
Anything else is a makeshift and
farce. And The Argus has no hest
fancy in predicting now that if the
city hampers with the telephone in
connection with its fire department
il will regret it, and everyone con-
nected with such a deal Will be in
time heartily ashamed of it.
Rock Island has experimental long
enough along this line. Further at
tennis to get along with telephones
will be but a waste of time and prob
ably valuable property. We want
recognized alarm system and all talk
of any substitute sufficing is idle,
the mere theories of those who know
