A. E. LYFORD SEEN
ON PACIFIC COAST
Moline Woman Tells of Meeting
DefauIter ON Streets of
Sacramento.

Mrs. Edith Erb, daughter of Theo-
dore Stenger, of Moline, who has been
in the west, is home on visit and
brings a story of meeting with y. Z.
Lyford, the defaulting assistant coun-
ty treasurer in Sacramento, Cal. Mrs.
Erb is an actress and was travelling in
California at the time of Lyford's dis
appearance.
She was acquainted with the for
mer assistant county treasurer, hav-
ing lived a near neighbour of his in
Moline for number of years. Soon
after his disappearance from these
parts and before she knew of his de
falcaticn. she, while walking on the
streets of Sacramento in company
with Mrs Claire Stanley, also former
~ of Moline, met Lyford face to face.
The recognition was mutual. and Mrs.
Erb says that Lyford lost no time in
getting away.
From the fact that he reached the
Pacific coast in such short order, it
is surmised that he was intent on GO
ing further, and some are Of the opin-
ion that he shipped for the Sandwich
islands and possibly went to some of
the still more remote island posses

PECULIAR ACCIDENT
ON RAILWAY ENGINE

Fireman Fred Duvon. of the Bur

was injured in a peculiar manner
Wednesday, morning while running
through Aurora. lie was on the
fast mail run, which was on the way
west when the accident happened.
The train was running through Auro-
IA at the rate of 40 miles an hour,
when the arch fiue in the engine burst
and the steam rushed into the cab
with great force, driving the fire from
the box before it. Divon was near the
door and he was blown out over the
side of the tender, alighting on his
head and shoulders on the adjoining
track. He was picked up and placed
in hospital, and it is now stated that
he will recover. His burns were not
as serious as the injuries received in
the fall, and no bones were broken.
Engineer Sam Dove, of Burlington,
was quite badly scalded, but will also
recover.

MISS MINNIE DAVIS STAR
IN PAINS ANCIENT ROME

The Chicago Chronicle of yesterday
has the following concerning one of
the star performers in the Ancient
Rome" production that Will shortly be
seen here:
During the progress of Pains spec
tacular production of Ancient
Rome" which is to be given its initial
presentation Tuesday evening next at
West Monroe street and Fortieth ave
nue., hundreds of young women Will
be employed in the festivities which
precede the destruction of the an
cient city. OF the score or more who
have been brought from New York
by the management Miss Minnie Davis
is among the foremost. While it may
appear difficult. in a production of
such proportions as this. to individ-
ualize, it is said that Miss Davis never
has failed to attract particular at
tention TO herself during the progress
of the spectacle. She is a clever
dancer and attractive to such a de-
gree that her engagement has been
extended through the entire season.

TRAINMEN EXPECT THE
COMPANY WILL YIELD

The time set for the final confer
ence between the representatives of
the conductors and brakcmcn on the
Rock Island road with the officials in
regard to the increased scale. for
which the men have been working
since the beginning of the year, is
drawing near and the men express
confidence that the company at the
of the several propositions that have
been made to settle existing differ
encCs.
As previously stated in The Argus,
the trainmen have been working since
early in January for an advance
amounting to Is per cent for freight
and - per cent for passenger men,
the same as other roads competing
with the Rock Island have granted,
and the date set for the conference
is Aug. 4. There has been report in
circulation that a strike was to be in
augurated at 12 o'clock tonight, the
time for the settlement by the com
pany having been set for Aug. L.
This is not the case, however, though
strike is not beyond the possibili-
ties by any means, in case the men do
not receive consideration within a
short time.
The thing that encourages the men
to expect their demands to be acceded
to is the success that has crowned the
efforts of other branches of the serv-
ice, notably in the case of the carmen,
who within the past few days have
been given a material advance.

HADA PREFERENCE
Late Head of Engineers on
Deathbed Nominated
Successor.
WILL PROBABLY HAVE NO EFFECT
Herman E. Wills of Clinton, Iowa,
Prominently Mentioned
for ONCE.

Meadville, Pa, July 31-The death
of Almon b. Youngson, grand chief
engineer of the brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers, yesterday makes
NJ. IL. Shay, of Youngstown, Ohio,
whom he named as his successor, the
head of the order.
Chief Engineer Youngson was born
in Pittsburg March 20, 1s49. His first
railroad employment was with the At
lantic d Great Western railroad when
he was but Is years of age. After 24
years of service Mr.. Youngson was in
1890 elected first assistant grand chief
engineer of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers, succeeding to the
position of grand chief engineer on
the death of Chief p. NJ. Arthur July
II, and holding the position but Is
days. Mr.. Youngson was a widower|
and is survived by three children.
NJ. II. Shay, who succeeds Mr..
Youngson as chief engineer of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engin-
GERS, has been chairman of the griev-
ance committee of the organization
for - years and has been in the rail
road business for more than forty
years. He is an ardent worker in the
Trinity Methodist church of Youngs-
town. Ohio, and is a Staunch advocate
of temperance. His record on the
Erieiis one of the most remarkable of
any OF the engineers for the small
number of wrecks he has had.
Action VIII be independent.
Cleveland, Ohio, July 31.-A meeting
of the grand officers Of the Brother
Of
held here within a few days to elect
a new grand chief and assistant grand
chief to succeed p. NJ. Arthur and y
| Il. Youngson. The fact that Mr..
Youngson just before his death nomi-
mated II. NJ. Shay. of Youngstown. as
first assistant grand chief will have
no effect, according to authorities, as
the board Of grand officers had no
chance to confirm his nomination be-
fore the death of the grand chief
Clinton Man Comes Forward.
Herman f. Wills, of Clinton, Iowa,
chairman of the grievance commit
tee of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers for the Chicago d North
western railroad. is regarded as a
strong candidate for the presidency
of the organization to succeed the
late =. NJ. Arthur.
The death of Grand Assistant Chief
\. b. Nomgsun has led the friends of
Wills to believe that he is the logical
candidate for president. Several years
ago Wills ran against Arthur and
pOlled the largest vote ever registered
against the late chieftain. Mr.. Wills
declines to discuss the question, but
it is reported that he will be a candi
date for the position.

A PAIR OF THEM
Police Have Two Boys Who
Started Out to See the
World.
HENRY HANSON MAKES CONFESSION
says He Ran Away From Home at
LaSalle Two Weeks
Ago.

Charley Abrahamson, Watertown
youth of II years, who grew tired of
farm life, was picked up by the police
in this city yesterday afternoon and
spent last night at the station. He
was sent to the Union Mission this
morning to wait the arrival of his
parents or relatives. lie had started
out to make his fortune on his own
hook and was greatly crestfailen
when he found he was to be returned
to his guardians.
Henry Hansen, the boy whose iden-
tity has been Il puzzle to Chief Miller
and his assistants for the past two
days, now admits that he is a run
away and that he left his home in La
Sale about two weeks ago. The
proper authorities at that place have
been notified. In the meantime the
boy will be held at the Union Mission.
He claims to have beaten his way on
the Burlington from La Sale to Full
ton, there slowing away on a boat
which brought him to Rock Island.
In the light of his previous misstate-
ments, this may or may not be true.
1t is thought likely that he is out on
parole from Glenwood or has escaped
from that institution, as he has shown
Il talent for telling "fbs" that was ev-
identity not all acquired in a two
weeks trip on the road.

how IT viii come. If the plans of the Repuo-
1ican leaders who oppose the Statehood bill are
put into effect the Committee Territories Will
bring in a substitute bill early in the week pro
viding for consolidation and the admission of
two States. This will probably rot be done.

C4N CEDE PART OF C4NAL
Cunneen Tells Hoe to Get Around
tic Constitution.

Albany. Feb 3.-The question of the possibility
of practically ceding small part Of the Erie
Canal to the federal government for ship canal
purposes in spite of the prohibition Of the State
constitution is answered ir the affirmative by
Attorney General Cunneen in an opinion for
warded to Mai Thomas W. Symons, head of
the United States engineering corps for the
Buffalo district. The question arose in connec-
ton with the plan of constructing deep ship
canal from the headwaters of the Niagara River
to the naviga bic part.
Attornnr General Cuuneen's letter says in
part:
The Joint control of any part of the Erie Canal
the general government would be Incompatible
with the provisions of the constitution of this State
which reads: The Legislature shall not lease,
sell or otherwise dispose of the Erie Canal. the
Oswego Canal. the Champlain Canal. the Cayuga
and Seneca Canal. the Black River Canal
but they shall remain the property of the State
and under its management forever (Art1cle q
Section 81
I think however that that part of the Erie
Canal which is within the boundaries OF the pro
posed Black Rock Canal could be abandoned by
the Canal Board of the State, and the land ceded
10 the general government. This cession should
be drawn however. as to amply safeguard the
right the State receive water from the canal
to be constructed by the National Government ar
Black Rock 10 supply the Erie Canal, and also
10 pass along the bank of the proposed canal.

cur in the views hereinbefore expressed.
