STORY OF INFANTICIDE
PROVES TO BE FALSE ALARM

Two members of the Rock Island
police department spent whole
night during the week watching the
entrance to apartments occupied by
young couple in the Second avenue
business section on the strength of a
report started in the neighborhood
that child, born recently to them.
had been disposed of.
They had been in the city several
months. 1t was stated they were
planning to leave between DAYS. A
bill for rent had been placed in the
hands of u constable for collection.
He visited the home of the couple in
the afternoon. but the door was slam
med in his face. He demanded to be
admitted, but was told that he had no
right there; that the couple had COM
United no wrong; that the bill would
be settled in due time
In the morning when the husband
emerged from his domicile he was in
terviewed by one of the officers in
reference to his child. The policeman
was told that the little one was no
longer in the possession of its par
ents. having been given in adoption
to another family. The officer visited
the home of the family. and found the
baby perfectly satisfied in it's new sur
roundings. So if you have heard
story of infanticide during the week
remember it is a false alarm

FIND BODY AT NORTH
OF CRESCENT BRIDGE

Herzberg, Davenport
Engineer.

A floater found in a pool of water
on the Iowa side of the Crescent
bridge yesterday afternoon has been
identified as the body of William Herr
berg. who had been missing from his
home in Davenport since Tuesday ev-
ening.
Mr.. Herzberg was last seen when he
drank glass of beer in the saloon of
Fred Lemm near the glucose works.
He then stated that he was going to
commit suicide and left the saloon \
little later Mr.. Lemm heard a heavy
splash coming from the direction of
the trestle work of the Milwaukee
road. Mr.. Lemm thinks the man
jumped from the trestle work into
this pool.

prominent in ward politics. He was a
good workman, having held the posi-
ton of engineer at the glucose works.
At the time of his disappearance he
was employed as engineer at the mae
aroni factory. He was not a drinking
man, and was sober when he left the
saloon. Herzberg is survived by his

WEEK OF CAYETY
FOR YOUNGSTERS
Benefit for Teachers An
nuity Fund Promises to
Be Crowned With Success
CLEVER YOUTH TO ACT
A Programme of Merit Will
Be Given Each Day This
Week at Chutes Theater
CLEVER YOUTH TO ACT

Final arrangements for the benefit to
be given at the Chutes this week for
the San Francisco Teachers Annuity
fund are practically completed. Every
thing is in readiness for the opening
to-day. It will be a week of pleasure
for the children. The last rehearsal in
the children's vaudeville show took
place Saturday.
The object of these entertainments Is
to aid in completing the permanent
fund of the Teachers Annuity and Re-
tirement Association. The teachers are
engaged in labor of love in behalf OF
those of their number whose long years
of service and devotion as teachers have
earned the right to retire honorably
from the service; or who have been
compelled through failing health to lay
aside the activities of teaching.
In the early history of this organiza-
ton the annuitants received a larger
sum than it is now possible to pay.
The number of retired teachers main
tanned by the annuity fund has grad
ually increased and in consequence or
this fact the fund devoted to their
maintenance has been greatly dimin-
ished.
The vaudeville shows to be produced
upon the stage Of the Chutes Theater
and in the Chutes Pavilion promise
to bring out children of unusual tai
ent who have volunteered their services
for this worthy cause. On the Rie,to
there will be booths galore. where all
kinds of refreshments can be obtained
at nominal prices. Teachers from diff
ferent schools will serve all patrons
and look out for the wants Of the
youngsters. Miss S. M. Wilson will
have charge of the refreshment booths.
Miss Alice Stincen, Mrs. Brogan, Miss
Phillips and Miss Kervan, with assist
ants, will superintend the other booths.
The doll booth of the Denman School,
under the command of Mrs. Love, will
be feature. Eight hundred beautiful
dolls will be sold cheaply.
Among the features Of the pro-
gramme are the following: Boutwell,
Brownies pupils in THE Princess Fan
Tan; THE Queen Of Beauty" under
the direction Of Miss Elizabeth McIn-
tosh; Chinese children, gorgeous in
colored gowns; the Columbia Park
Boys Club; pupils of Professor
O'Brien's dancing school; a one-legged
dance by Mrs. Saidee Bugbee.
