BIG FIRE DAMAGE
Bettendorf Axle Plant in DaVen-
port Suffers Loss of
$4,000.
BUILDINGS AND MACHINERY BURN
As Well as Valuable ModeIs-An
other Blaze of Mysterious
Origin.

\ serious fire started in the dry
room of the Bettendorf AXel com
pany's plant in Davenport shortly
before l o'clock this afternoon.
The workmen were in their places
| just prior to the starting of the ma
chinery after the noon hour, when
smoke was noticed issuing from the
dry room.
BY the time the employees had man
ned the hose connected with the es-
adjustment and were ready to turn
on the water the volume of smoke
had increased greatly and in short
ime the men were driven entirely
out of the building where they fought
at disadvantage from the outside.
The fire department. which arrived
promptly when the alarm was given,
was unable to do more than confine
the flames within the walls which
separated the dry and paint rooms
and the department in which the
wheels were put together from the
remainder of the plant.
The smoke was very dense and
black. being due to the large amount
of poplar in the dry room. The
dense smudge attracted considerable
attention from this side of the river.
Damage is $4,000.
BY this afternoon the fire was
considered under control and at that
time it had destroyed buildings, ma
chinery and stock roughly estimated
at $4,000 in value. The power plant
and part of the machine shop We're
gone and what was perhaps most Sc
rious of all the designing room, in
which all the models used in the fac
tory worth, owing to the impossible
ity of replacing some of them, many
thousands of dollars.
The factory will of course be tied
up for weeks and perhaps months as
result of the loss. although the
property destroyed = well covered by
insurance. The value of the entire
plant is in the neighborhood of 5000,
900.
The Rock Island department was
called upon for help at , O'Clock and
Chief Hastings with one hose wagon
ana crew of five men responded.
Another Fire.
Another fire of mysterious origin
earlier in the day did about $1,000
damage to the factory of the Daven-
port Implement company on East
Fourth street. The flames in this
case were confined To the immediate
portion in which they broke out and
the loss is fully covered by insur-
ance.

NO CHANGE IN THE
SMALLPOX SITUATION

No change was apparent in the
smallpox situation today, no new
cases developing and none of the old
ones taking serious turn.
The quarantine on the Day resi-
dence on Eleventh street. where mem
bers of the family who were exposed
have been guarded till the period of
danger passed, was raised today.
Rock Island physicians report
active business in the vaccina-
ton line since the smallpox
outbreak. They say young and old
alike are adopting the precaution
recommended by the health author
tiles, and as this is the one safe
means of forestalling possible cpl
demic. they are inclined to the belief
that Rock Island is going to escape
the serious results that have been the
lot of other communities that have
been less watchful in safeguarding
against the scourge.

During several campaigns / have taken

that he too has at last reached his level and
turned protector for gang of corruptionists

son had been placed in some responsible
position similar to the one he now holds
under the Government with some corpora
ton and found the place had been pre-.
viously filed by dishonest official and
the places under him had been filed from
the same class would hea have been salts
fed to just have stepped IN and filed the
place assigned him or would he in honor
to himself and the corporation have cleaned
the whole crew out and put honest men in
their places2 If he did not do this would
not outsiders have just cause to believe that
he was in cOllusion with them?
Now what is the difference as far as honor
and a corporation ohicial2 Simply this, if
with a corporation, off comes his official
head if caught dealing dishonesty. If un-
der the government, they get the rake OFF, "
and divide with the campaign fund to help
corrupt the voters and keep themselves or
party in power. If Mr.. Johnson is an
honest man he knows that the taxpayers
whose servant he is expects an honest ser
vice, and the dishonest men under him

he came there or after he was expected to
get rid of and give the people an honest

THE BENNING RACES
And the Skin Price or Admission in
the Interest of TOuts. Sure-thinG
Men, and Other Confidence
Thugs Of the Under World.

Men, and Other Confidence
Thugs of the Under World.
The usual complement of touts, dead-sure-
thing men, con spinners, and other live
by-our-wits" malodorous section of the
under world are in Washington attending
the races at Benuings. The bunco game of
the management in charging an admission
OF 81. so is in keeping with the other crooked
features of modern horse racing. Any or
diuary wellfed individual likes to see the
horses run, but that is not the kind of sport
the modern horse race is. especially the
sport at the Benning race track.
The whole thing is a bunco game for the
depletion of the suckers rolls II is worse
than the side shows of an illegitimate
circus for doing up the unsophisticated pub
lie, and there is as much real sport attached
to the racing at the Beuninga track as there
is to getting good and drunk down in the
Division. Year after year the same class of
touts, jockeys, hook nOsed book makers
and three-card monte men crowd the cheap
hotels of Washington during the races.
Their game, of course is the general public,
and while the best of them are too shrewd
to commit burglary or highway robbery.
they have no hesitation in skinning their
unsuspecting victims with set up jobs on
tips" etc, on the winners.
An artist in this line is one Sloper or
Roper. He Is here every race year, and
what he don't know about the dead sure
things" is worth considerable Eutrust
him with your roll to bet on shares, lie
furnishing the talent aud you the cash, and
see where you will come out at Men of
Sloper's class make living at this kind of
business and they have no more real taste
for the sport of horse racing than a COW has
for ice cream. They SLOPE out with the
long green they pick up from suckers and
recount their experience on the freight or
passenger trains as they move on to the
next town. Horse racing, like prize fight
ing, is monopolized by thugs and conf
dence men, and the sport itself is being
killed by the managements, which charge
SI.5o admission to see the horses run. The
fact that such a skin price is charged shows
plainly that it is the privilege of operating
around the betting ring and other games
to fleece the suckers that are charged for,
and not the real sport of the races.
