CREDIT OF CHAMPIONSHIP
IS DENIED N. MAYER

The Chicago Inter Ocean contained
the following regarding Nathan May
er's work on the Moline bowling al
leys, and while he may not hold the
champion record in the true sense of
the word, in that he was not i'm a
match game when the score was
made. it must he admitted that there
are few who can equal il:
"One of the latest worlds cham
pions to make his appearance is
Nathan Mayer. of Moline, ILL.,, who
averaged 242 %. This mark has
been beaten by Biz Mclaughlin,
who recently averaged 2I3 2-3 i'm the
Chicago league, and Chris Becl<cr's
mark of 247H made a year ago in The
Englcwood league, still remains as
the worlds champion record, but
neither of these bowlcrs makes any
claim to the worlds championship.
Fred Strong possesses that title, hav-
ing won il recently at the Buffalo
tourney. The report fails to state
whether the work was accomplished
in competition under the y. Il. {.
rules. Averages better than the Mo-
lineitc's have been made several
times in practice in the city club
meeting every Saturday at Mus
sey's."

CONDEMNS OLEO BILL
Convention Declares 1t
TO be Work of Butter
Trust.

The convention of the Illinois Re
tail Merchants association ut Aurora
yesterday was marked by Il greatly
increased attendance from all over
the state The main features were
discussion of the pure food laws,
heated debate over action on the
question of bankruptcy laws, and
sweeping resolutions against further
restrictive Legislation against cleo
margarine lat the behest of the but
ter trust" The morning session was
devoted to reports and minor discus
sion. At the afternoon session the
address of State Food Commissioner
Patterson was followed by short
address, by State Chemist +. y. Ea-
ton. Scores of questions by various
delegates drew out discussion cover
ing nearly every phase of food adul-
iteration and the laws for its regula-
ton.
DR.. Eaton suggested that mer-
chants who dispense food products
should be required to pass as rigid
examinations as pharmacists and
physicians and be licensed to con-
duct grocery business. The suggest
ion met the informal Endorsement of
the convention. Following this dis
cussion voluminous resolutions were
presented from the Chicago Retail
Grocers' and Butchers association
condemning further restrictive legis-
lation against butterinc manufacture.
Half a score of whereaSes covered
the history of butterine Legislation
upon artificial butter and resolutions
condemned the Grout and TowneI
bills and condemn any further re-
strictive legislation at the beheSt of
the butter trust against the manufac
ture of butterine." The resolution
was read and referred To the com
mittee on legislation, which commit
tee. in making their final report Just
before the close of the session, re-
commended the adoption of this rcso-
luton. 1t was adopted unanimously
by the convention.
The resolution favoring the Mann
pure food bill was reported favorably
and adopted. 4 strong resolution
was adopted condemning the parcels
post bill. The bankruptcy law was
thrown into the convention without
action by the committee. Many mo-
tions were argued and defeated. The
chair was finally instructed to APP
point a committee of three with pow
cr To engage counsel. draft Il bank
ruptcy bill. and with the state eNecu-
tive board to introduce the bill in
congress.

DECISION AWAITED
E. c. Berry Hopes for Favorable
Verdict in Machinists'
Arsenal Case.
ARRIVES HOME FROM WASHINGTON
President Roosevelt TO Thoroughly
Investigate the Ques-
ton.

h. c. Berry arrived home last even
ing after spending several weeks in
Washington in the interest of the
union machinists formerly employed
at Rock Island arsenal, and who, il
is alleged, have been Disseminated
against since the strike at that post
few years ago.
While averse to discussing the sit
uation in detail, Mr.. Berry said he
had every reason to hope for favor
able action at the hands of President
Roosevelt. with whom the whole ques-
ton rested, the written statement of
the case supported by individual afii-
davits having been delivered person
ally to him by the Rock islander.
The president expressed himself
as pleased with the business like and
systematic manner in which the ma
chinists prJ scented their grievances"
said Mr.. Berry, and assured me he
would give the matter early consider
alton, instructing his secretary to
call il TO his attention at his first
leisure moment.
VIII Not Countenance Discrimination.
James O'Uonnell, president of the
International Association of Machin-
lists, who accompanied me, and my
self had a five-minute interview with
President Roosevelt, during which he
gave us the positive assurance that
he would not countcnance discrimin-
alton as to labor at any government
arsenal. Of course he knows moth
ing beyond what we told him con.
corning conditions here, but am sat
isfied il is his intention to go into the
question thoroughly before rendering
u decision
Mr.. Berry said he spent much time
in conference with Illinois and Iowa
senator's and congressman and re-
ceived considerable aid and encour-
agement from Congressman Prince.

The greatest of all American his

The main business transacted by
the board of education at it's regular
monthly meeting last evening related
TO the new high school. Contracts
were let to Charles Fiebig for the
bell wiring for S109.JO and to w. y.
Robb at 1898 for the light. wiring of
the assembly, gymnasium and boiler
rooms and for the installation of the
motor to run the exhaust fan used

poses.
\ report from Principal j. F. Darby
on the receipts from the renting of
text books among high school pupils
10 take the place of those destroyed
in the high school fire "a year ago,
was read. The total amount invested
IN the books is 81 .O3S.7s and the rent
al for the first half year amounts to
S1O7.25. or Is per cent of the cost.
From this showing it * believed the
board will lose very little, if any
thing, by the plan. Mr.. Darby said:
The plan To the present is decided
success and of great value To the
pupils, * indicated by the fact
that more than 90 per cent of them
make use of the system" The sum
of $3.50 i'm high school tuition and 1854
in grammar school tuition was turn
ed over to the treasurer.
Vaccination and Enrolment.
Supt. Hayden made report showing
to what extent the order of the
board i'm regard To vaccination has
been observed. Out of 2.S44 pupils
belonging 1872 are as yet not vaccinat-
ed Of these the parents of IA re-
fuse to allow the operation to be per
formed, IS have been excused and the
others are not accounted for. Sixty
seven of the pupils whose parents
will not permit vaccination attend
the Lincoln and Horace Mann
schools.
The monthly report of Supt. Hay
den shows a general falling off for
the month ending Feb. Z. There
were 60 new pupils enrolled as a re-
suit of the beginning of the second
semester. but the average number
attending decreased 1O4 from last
month. The per cent of attendance
decreased 1852 from that of last
month, and the number of cases of
hardness increased by II from that
of last month. In commenting upon
the showing the superintendent says:
''The noticeable decrease in several
of the above items is due in part To
sickness prevalent among the child
rem and to the removal of children
from the schools at the time that
the first smallpox cases appeared in
the community. Since the general
has been so nearly com
pIeted. we are beginning to see this
week "A return of some of those who
have been out of school. We hope
with the improved conditions there
may be an improvement in the enroll
ment and attendance.
