DAVENPORT DOTS,

6euthien Again to De Tried Once
more the Beuthien matters in regard
to the New Liberty and Dixon savings
banks will come up in the district
court. Martin Beuthien will be tried
on the charge of receiving money in
an insolvent bank next week. The
case has been set for Monday after
noon. Martin Beuthien was tried some
time ago ON the charge of borrowing
money from the bank of which he was
an officer without taking the neces-
sary steps through the board of direct
Crs. He escaped because the statute
was ruled defective by Judge Bollinger
in that it provided no punishment. He
was then released Now he will be
tried on this other charge 1t is claim
ed that Mr.. Beuthien received money
in the banks after he knew them to be
insolvent. This is said to be criminal
and the grand jury has returned an in
dictment against him. Arnold Beu-
THEN. now in the state penitentiary,
will be brought back to testify as
witness in the case. He will be called
to give testimony against his father.
Look After Child. County AttOr-
ney A w. Hamann has filed in the
juvenile division of the district court
a petition to have Clara Isabelle Ben
son, the complaining witness against
Ed Linblom and Alden Bennett, taken
care of and placed in some institution
as a neglected dependent child. The
petition states that she is neglected
and has not the proper care. For this
reason, she has fallen in with vicious
associates and is becoming depraved.
The county attorney says that, because
of the notoriety she received as pro-
scouting witness in the two rape cases,
she has been ostraciZed by her play
mates and cannot fall in with reform
ing influences here. The case has eX-
cited great interest in the northeastern
part of the city because of the large
number of children concerned. The
girl is a mere child, years of age,
but is said to be depraved and i'm
moral.
No Quorum Present. - The adver-

at one of three morning hours Z. or 9, but to
pave the way for them others have been at work
all night or have started in at or o'clock and
at each hour through the day still others will
take up their daily tasks before darkness calls
forth the mOles Of time-the night workers AT
noon and again at midnight very few are the
additions to the toilers. Those are the two
blessed pauses in the city's work. when for a
brief hour the tension is slackened and the
maximum number of the city's population is en-
joying rest and contemplation for few mo-
ments. Ten in the morning is the wide awake
hour, when more people are up and doing and
fewer in bed than at any other time.
San Francisco. in her temporary demOraliza-
ton, has shown how artificial a thing a huge
city really is. He who lives and works amid
the smiles of nature and whose time is truly
marked by the sun by his watch, accuses the
city Of hysteria. frenzy. greed and general
perversion of life. Is IT any wonder when its
day is ever beginning afresh. yet never ending,
a great city always going to bed. yet never
sleeping?
Some industries never stop at any time dur
ing the twenty-four hours. The railroads, the
rapid transit system. the. great sugar relneries.
the gas works and the electric power stations
these and many more are continuous in their
activity. and have three shifts of men to oper-
ate them. Other OF the city's activities must be
carried on before the day proper begins II one
could, with watch in one hand, take a mental
5ird's-eye view of the twenty-four hours in this
never ceasing day of labor. here are some Of the
things he would in a visual bewildermcnt ex-
ceeding that of ten ring circus:
