The child was taken i'll several

to excite suspicion. No physician was
called again until today. The Payne
family came here about two years
ago from Missouri and the father is
employed by Davis Co. y 16-year-
old son has been employed up to- to-

TO UNITY THE RACE
AdoIph Grethen Hopes for Per-
feet Organization of
Human Family.
BELIEVES IN MUSIC AS AN AID
Plays Violin and Addresses Pupils
of High School Yes
terday.

\ most unusual mission has Adolph
Grethen, philosopher, musician and
philanthropist, who is in the city
with his beloved violin for the pur-
pose of gaining ears especially of
high school and college students. His
philosophy is of the broadcast nature
and his philanthropy is manifested in
the pursuance of his desire to lay IL
before the world at whatever cost to
himself. Music is his passport to
claim the attention of men.
Mr.. Grethen is n wanderer and has
been one for the past Is years. In
that time he has visited almost all
the towns i'm the middle west, al
though this is the first time he has
been in Rock Island. He is yet
young. He does not follow care
fully mapped out route, nor does. he
remain in any place n given length
of time. His only plan is to gain the
ears of as many persons as he can.
particularly of the better classes and
the younger generation, and for this
purpose he frequents schools. Using
his violin to gain the sympathy of
his audience he unfolds the mission
of his life in broken talks between
musical numbers. lie solicits no
financial support but accepts what
ever is offered him.
Visits High School.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Greth-
en- spent half hour with
number of high school pupils who re-
manned to hear him. He quickly de
monstrated that he is complete
master of the violin and one by ma
ture He is not conventional
musician. although no one after hear
ing him play could doubt for mo-
mcnt that he is capable of interpret
ing effectively any classical produc-
ton. His music is simple yet incom-
parably sweet and of the kind which
appeals to the hearts of the cultured
and the ignorant alike. Among 9th
er numbers he gave his hearers Il
sample of the music of the Indians,
of which he has made study.
In his remarks yesterday Mr..
Grethen barely touched upon the APP
plication of his philosophy, but in
private conversation afterward he
gave partial explanation OF the
tenets to scatter which he has be-
come a wanderer. His central ideas,
he said. are set forth in Edward Bell
amy's Looking Backward" He is Il
type of socialist. His central idea is
to secure the perfect organization of
the human race, and he believes i'm
plicitIv in its possibility. The first
material attainment he seeks is the
erection in each city of a central hall
capable of containing as many peo-
pie as the city holds, or at least as
many as may be brought within the
range of the human voice or even of
music proceeding from a single
source. He believes that when it is
possible to secure the gathering to-
gether of entire communities the first
great step in the realization of his
plans Will have been made.

CRITICIZED BY BAER.
President Of the Reading Road De.
nounces Independent Operators for
Advancing Price of Coal.

New York, Dec. 17,-Presidept Baer
of the Reading railroad, made 4
statement Tuesday deprecating the
course pursued by the independent
coal operators, who, it is alleged
have forced the price for their Goa
up to $11.50 ton to dealers, equal tc
$14 to the consumer. "Unfortunately
there seems to be no way to compel
them to sell down to the level fixed
by the railroads." said Mr.. Baer. III
their sense of obligation to the PEG.
pie cannot deter them from asking
prohibitiye prices, nothing the pub.
lie or the railroads can do would be
of any effect. The railroads cannot
refuse to transport their coal; the
law regulating the business of all
public carriers opposes it. The
charge that the railroads are selling
railroad coal to Independents for dis.
posal in the open market is abso.
lutely false. We are doing every.
thing in our power to keep down the
price of coal, and to get it to mar.
