Rockford High School Eleven

Moline Will Match Strength Thanks
giving Day With Spring
field.

According to the Rockford Gazette.
the high school eleven of that city
wants a game with Rock Island before
the season ends 1t is realized that
Rock Island is strong bidder for the
state championship after defeating Mo
line, and Rockford desires to meet on
iy first class teams. So far Rockford
has no game either for next Saturday
or for Thanksgiving day.
Moline high school has taken on
Springfield high school for the Thanks
giving day game. Springfield is coach,
ed by Carl Melin. former Moline boy
and is also an aspirant for state hon
ors. Ii is heavier than Moline by sew
eraI pounds per man. The outcome OF
the game will be awaited with consid
cradle interest here. as with Spring
field put away by Moline. Rock Island
will have to figure only with Rockford
and Rochelle Rochelle defeated Rock
ford. but the players of the latter city
say they were robbed of the game and
mobbed on the field. Rock Island has
all it's dates full and the state cham
pionship seems likely TO remain un
settled.

Government to Give UP Experiment
Plant at Waycross, Ga.
A Washington dispatch says: Gov
ernment experiments into the pro-
cess of cane sirup making have been
brought to a sensational conclusion
and Secretary Wilson of the depart
ment of agriculture, ordered the SAFE
of the government factory built at
Waycross, Ca, three years ago.
This plant was built for the purpose
of giving a course of study to the
manufacturers of the gulf states.
These manufacturers had experienced
trouble in making sirup of uniform
color, preventing its reverting to su-
gar or fermenting. A plant was es-
tablished by DR.. H. w. Wiley, chief
of the bureau of chemistry, and his
experiments proved entirely success
full The plant cost the government
less than $4,000 and resulted in the
improvement of an annual production
of nearly 100000 gallons of sirup.

FUGlTFVES BEHIND BARS.
Greene and Gaynor Ensconced in Sa-
vannah Jail-Wives Greeted Them
on Arrival In the City.

The welcome of their wives await
ed BENJAMIN D. Greene and John F.
Gaynor when. in the custody of a
quartet Of officers, they arrived in Sa-
vannah at o'clock Monday morning
at the union station after their long
journey from Montreal.
An affectionate greeting was ex-
changed between the alleged conspir-
ators and their wives. After brief
interchange the prisoners and Mar
shals White and Doyle left in one
carriage for the Chatham county jail,
while the ladies took another for the,
DeSoto hotel, where they are stopping.
The prisoners were not handcuffed.
Arriving at the Jail, the party had
some trouble breaking in Greene
and Gaynor commented upon this ap-
parent difficulty. Finally the marshals
were able to make the custodians
within hear and the gates were open
ed, to close later to confine Greene
and Gaynor.
The prisoners were installed in
special room on the top floor. They
will furnish it comfortably, and every
morning a negro barber is to appear
to shave them. Arrangements have
been made for them to receive their
meals from the DeSoto. Many callers
appeared at the jail. Among them
was P. w. Meldrim of Garrard & Mel.
drim, attorneys, who have been en-
gagged by the prisoners. Colonel Mel
drim gave them instructions not to
talk, and efforts to secure interviews
were bootless. 1t is said that an at
tempt to obtain their liberty on bail
will be made.

HUGHES DECLINES HONOR
Thinks Acceptance of New York May
orally Nomination Would "Queer"
Insurance Investigation.

insurance Investigation.
Charles Hughes counsel for the In
surance investigating committee, mas
declined the republican nomination
for mayor Of New York city.
In stating his grounds for refusing
the nomination, Mr.. Hughes said:
"In this dilemma I have simply to
do my duty as l see it. In my Judg-
ment | have no right to accept the
nomination. A paramount public duty
forbids it.
1T is not necessary to enlarge
upon the Importance of the insurance
investigation. This is undisputed. 1t
is dealing with questions vital to the
interests of millions of our fellow ca
izens throughout the land. 1t presehIs
an opportunity for public service sec
ond to none and involves a co-reia
tive responsibility. This work COM
mands all my energies. 1t is lmper-
ative that / continue it.
"The non-political character OF the
investigation and it's freedom from
bias either of fear or favor, not only
must exist, they must be recognlzed'
"Were /, with the best OF 1nten-
tions, to accept the nomination, 1t Is
nv conviction that the work OF the
investigation would be largely dis
credited by the public at large; It's mo-
tiyes would be impugned and It's in
tegrity assailed. To many it would
appear that it's course would be
shaped and It's lines of inquiry would
be chosen. developed or abandoned as
political ambition might prompt OF
political exigency demand.
"Such a situation would be intoler-
able. There is but one course open.
The legislative inquiry must proceed
with, convincing disnterestedness. It's
great opportunities must not be im'
perilled by alternating the support to
which it IS entitled, or by giving the
slightest occasion for questioning the
sincerity and single-mindedness with
which it is conducted.
For your expression of confidence
I thank you. The honor you would
confer upon me I most heartily es-
;eem. Your most generous approval
and the unanimity and enthusiasm
with which the nomination was made,
| warmly appreciate. But l have as
sumed obligations of the first import
ance which make it impossible for
me to meet your wishes. I must,
therefore, respectfully decline the
nomination.

FEVER BEYOND CONTROL.
PenoacoIa Authorities Can only De-
pend on Jack Frost to Eradicate
Scourge from the City.

Nineteen new cases Of yellow fe-
YER developed in Pensacola Sunday,
showing a large increase in the num-
ber heretofore reported.
This is partially due to the rigid
inspection which was made during the
day by what is known as the citi-
zens' committee, which was appointed
Saturday, each citizen being assigned
% block.
This inspection revealed many
cases which had not been reported to
the physicians. All Of these cases were
among the lower class residents, but
the physicians reported several cases
which had been under surveillance for
several days.
The prevailing opinion is that the
Fever Is beyond control, that 1t Will
remain In Pensacola until frost. The
efforts of the doctors are now center
sd principally in preventing spread
and keeping the number of cases as
small as possible.
No deaths occurred during the day,
although there are It number of pa
tients in the hospital and other places
who are likely to die.
The obstacles thrown in the way
the health officials by ignorant
parties have prevented the former
rom stamping out the disease and
conducting the campaign against the
mosquito as it should be conducted.
a consequence there are now near
one hundred cases under treatment.
Many persons have left the city
since the establishment of the deten-
ion camp by the marine hospital ser
vice and more will follow, as the fe-
yer seems to be spreading to all por-
tions Of Pensacola.
Sundays report, up to p. M, was
as. follows: New cases 10, total cases
to date 253, deaths none, total deaths
to date3S, cases discharged SO, cases
under treatment 1875.

is concerned in the celebrated Gaynor
and Green case, was closed Saturday
when the two men left the Bonaven-
t1lre station Of the Grand Trunk rail-
way at Montreal on Delaware and
Hudson train at $40 a. m.
A large crowd of people was pres
ent to see them off, but the most nota-
BILE thing about the departure was the
large number of secret service men
who were around. They were IN
charge of w. J. Finn, head OF the
secret service bureau of New York.
On behalf of the Dominion government
Silas H. Carpenter, chief of the Mon
treal detective force, who kidnapped

boundary line between Rouses Point
and Lake Lacolete, Canada.
At half past o'clock the prisoners
went to the train.
First came Greene, accompanied by
United States Detective White and In
spector Mcmahon, and next Gaynor'
accompanied by United States Detec-
tive Boyd and Chief Carpenter.
Around these two small groups OF
the United States secret service rallied
until the parlor car of the train was
reached The prisoners went into the
smoking compartment with Chief Car
uenter, Chief Flynn and Messrs. Boyd
and White.
When asked if they had anything to
say before leaving Colonel Gaynor re-
piled that they were glad to go back
at last and that they would have
nothing but the kindest remembrances
of their treatment in Canada. Colonel
Gaynors daughter-in-law was on board
the train when the prisoners arrived
and his son arrived at the station
Just before the train left.
Left New York at Midnight.
The prisoners arrived in New York
from Montreal at o'clock Saturday
night. They were taken at once to the
Pennsylvania depot. The party LETT
for Savannah at midnight.
Gaynor was permitted by his
guards to shake hands with L. Kaf-
lin Kellogg, who defended the prison
ers before Commissioner Shields and
represented Captain Carter at the
courtmartial which resulted in the lat
ter's conviction. Gaynor was over.
heard to say that he wished they had
followed Kellogg's advice. Mr.. Kel.
logg afterwards explained that he had
advised his clients to stand their
ground and warned them that flight
might be taken as an admission OF
guilt.
The party passed through Wash
ington Sunday. They reached that
city early in the morning in the
charge of secret service agents, who
turned the two mel over to United
States Deputy Marshal George F.
White of Savannah and one of his
assistants, who left with them over
the Southern railway for Savannah at
1915 a. m.

BELGIAN HARE RETRIBUTIoN.

Out in Tekoa, Wash, the predicted

with the farmers on the Occur D'Alene
reservation. A well known Indian
there, when the Belgian hare craze was
at it's height, bought a pair, and their
descendants are numbered by the thou
sands There is an Indian supersu-
ton that the killing of rabbit or hare
is the cause of bad luck. Therefore,
Peter Joseph, when importuned to XIII
off his hares, or allow others to do so
on his premises, has made the invarl-
able reply: Me no kill UNI; bring bad
luck The consequence is that many
hundred dollars worth of grain has
been destroyed or rendered worthless
and the start which the hares have got
promises worse things. White farm
ers in the neighborhood are talking OF
organizing a drive and DISCRIMINATING
