NJ. Gallagher. who was arrested by
Detective MulIane and held on sus-
picion of having been implicated in
the recent robbery of the Menter-Ro-
senbloom store, was yesterday taken
to Brooklyn. Iowa. by Constable Bra
dy. of that place, who states that Gal
lagher is wanted there for highway
robbery. The local police found it
impossible to fasten any guilt on Gal
lagher, although the suspicion that he
had assisted in the robbery is strong
among the officers, and they were
glad to get him" on some charge. 1t
is possible that evidence that will
show Gallagher's implication in the
local robbery viii be found before he
gets a release at Brooklyn. and in that
case he will be in a place where the
Davenport police can easily secure
him.

Thomas p Brooke. who comes to
the Illinois next Wednesday with his
famous band. is a believer in the
theory that in the public rests the
final court of appeal in music as well
as in politics and literature. He is
carrying out this idea on his present
tour by listening to the demand of
the people for music which is gay and
lively, and is presenting exclusively
ragtime programs at every concert.
The popularity of the great band
master is well known, but the ire
mendOus success of his latest innOva-
ton is exciting comment throughout
the country. During his % weeks en-
gagement at 1he Coliseum, Chicago.
last summer, the average nightly at
tendance at his ragtime concerts was
1854, and upon tour his audiences
have been limited only by the capacity
of the auditoriums in which he played.
1t will be a red letter day in the mu-
steal history of Rock Island when he
appears, and his program of mirthful
rags" Will attract all who admire
what is light and bright in music.

LEGISLATORS
At BASEBALL
CAPTAINS CRABBE AND KNUD-
SEN ARRANGING THEIR TALENT
FOR TOMORROW GAME.

The sale of tickets for the baseball
game between the House and Senate
has been large, and there will be a big
crowd on the campus at 4 today when
time is called Yesterday was the
last chance for practice and the mem
bers of the House were out on the
field in front of the drill shed again.
Vice Speaker Knudsen, captain of the
team and second baseman has carefully
tried out his men. With a few excep-
lions he has found an evenness of
badness that makes it hard to place
the men, but Knudsen is going at it
in earnest and already improvement
has been made by some of the men,
who could not very well appear on a
field without making some improve
ment.
Secretary Carter has been suggested
for umpire, on the ground that his
salary cannot be changed by either
house. When approached on the sub
ject the secretary said that he had
never played baseball and knew moth
ing about the game. This is believed
to make his selection almost certain.
This morning members of the House
were offering bets on their team. Since
they have seen Keliinoi and Kalama
bat they are filed with new hope, for
the things both men did to balls pitch
ed by Greenwell would put the Senate
out of business in one inning. Kelii-
moi is slated for pitcher, while Kalama
will probably hold down first base.
Long is to be catcher and Andrade
shortstop while Kumalae will be at
right field, Damien at left and Naka-
leka at center. Lewis is to do the
honors at third. The House has plenty
of talent left and Knudsen knows
where to draw from when Keliinoi gets
glass arm and Long a broken thumb
or Kalama a baseball finger.
Captain Crabbe of the Senate is figur-
ing on Isenberg to hold down Sonny
Cunhas place behind the bat and Achi
as the man to throw balls at him. Ka-
lauokalani is to be the man to do the
reaching at first, Cecil Brown will
play second and John T. Brown third.
Wilcox and Dickey will be at right and
left field and McCandless in the CEN
ter.
Both these lineups are subject to
change as the members develop new
talents, for which there is recognized
room, and there will have to be sub
stitutes on hand to take the places of
those who can't keep up the terrible
pace. The league players will be on
hand, getting pointers for Saturday S
games.
