NOT GUILTY BY THE JURY

A verdict of not guilty was return
cd at o'clock yesterday afternoon in
the case of Charles Ramskill, indicted
for forging the name of Miss Effie ~
Barge to a check fer SIPS cashed at
the saloon of William Dunavin. 1t
was not denied that Ramskill commit

set up that he was in such condition
from over-indulgence in liquor at the
time that he was not responsible for
his actions. There is another charge
of the same character on which Rams
kill must stand trial. In this latter
instance the forged check was passed
on John Ainsworth, another saloon

MOLINE EPIDEMIC
Eleven Cases of Smallpox in Five
Families in That
City.
EXPOSED PERSONS WERE HERE
Three Children Ser to Home OF
Relatives are Returned
Today.

Rose, Edward and Veronica Fen
wick, aged II, . and 3 years, who have
been stopping at the home of Robert
McCluskey, 2S45 Eighth avenue, re
lative, since their sister was taken
down with smallpox. were returned
today in charge of the Rock Island
health authorities to the home of
their parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
Fenwick, in Moline. The children
we're conveyed in the Black Maria, an
old carriage that has been used to
transport patients to and fro from
the local pest house.
The presence of the exposed chill
dren in the city was discovered last
night by Health Commissioner q. &.
Craig. Jr., and he Immediately called
meeting of the health committee Of
the city council, after Investigating
and substantiating the charge that
Moline had allowed the transfer of
exposed persons to this city. The
course followed today was decided on
by the committee.
1t was stated earlier in the week in
The Argus that there were four cases
of vaFioloid, or smallpox, in a light
that there are at least IL cases of n
pronounced type there, the authori-
ties keeping the information from the
public, and neglecting to enforce the
precautions that Rock Island and all
properly regulated communities adj
here to during an emergency of this
character. Moline has done nothing
beyond quarantining of the homes,
the children of the school attended by
the Fenwick child now down with the
disease being kept in ignorance of
their having been exposed to the
dread infection, whereas the health
department should have seen to it
that every one exposed was vaccin-
ated.
Local Authorities Indignant.
Commissioner Craig even learned to
his surprise that two Of the Fenwick
children who had beer sent to this
city had not been vaccinated and
had them attended to. The II
cases of the disease in Moline are dis
tributed among five families. How
many of the people there have been
exposed is entirely problematical, but
if the Moline authorities would spare
themselves a state investigation they
viii adopt stringent measures to pre-
vent further spread of the disease.
The Rock Island health department.
is justly indignant over the action of
the department of the neighborin9
city in permitting the Fenwick chill
dren to be sent here, and if Rock ISL
and develops any cases Moline must
no |, me-
The McCluskey home was thorough
ly fumigated today and the members
of the family vaccinated. Surveil-
lance over it is maintained. The prac-
tice of the Moline authorities in keep
ing the public in ignorance of the real
conditions there is reprehensible to
say the least. Smallpox is a conta-
gion and the people of right should
know where it exists and to what eN-
tent, so that precaution can be taken
accordingly. if not enforced, as they
should be, by the health department.
In view of conditions that prevail
in Moline resident of this city who
have not done so lately are urged to
vaccinate.

OA00O4A lie Wh1dATs
Of the board. The most important of
the findings is on the matter of the
discharge of men, based on the al
legged unjust discharge of William
Mowrey against the Philadelphia and
Reading Coal and Iron company.
Right to Quit or Discharge.
Leading up to the final award the
umpire says Taking the rulings of
the court, the assertion of the anthra-
cite coal strike commission, the clauses
in the agreement made by and with
the United Mine Workers of America,
and the admissions of the different
members of the board of Cancellation,
whether on the one side or the other,
there can be mo doubt that a man
has right to quit the service of his
employer whenever he sees fit, with or
without giving any cause, provided he
gives proper notice; and that the en-
ployer has perfect right to employ
and discharge men in accordance with
the conditions of his industry; that he
is not obliged to give any cause for
discharge, but that he should as in the
reverse case give proper notice,
sustains the Right of the Company,
s'This right to discharge must, there
fore, be sustained. Amy other view of
the case would result in compelling
men to work for an employer when
they did not wish to, and thus en-
slave them; then, on the other hand, it
would compel employers to employ
men whether they had work for them
or not and whether the men were in
competent or not, and would thus stag
nate business and work to the injury
of all other employees" HI
Both Parties In the Wrong.
He finally says THAT in the par
ticular cause of William Mowrey it
would have been better and more jul
dicious if the foreman had kept bet
ter control of his temper, and thus
allowed Mowrey to behave more rea-
sonably. All discharges as all quit
tails should be made on a reasonable
basis. The employer and the employe
should treat each other with justice,
and with desire to preserve peace.
Attempts should be made in all such
cases to adjust the matter between the
employer or employees affected and a
superintendent, and such attempt was
not made in this case. To this extent,
therefore, there was violation Of
award No. 4 by both the petitioner and
respondent"
VIII the Official Resign?

which it was said that if it was de-
