HUNGER To BLAME.
Harry Brown, in Search of Work,
Sees Full Dinner Pail and
Becomes a Thief.
TAKES MEAL AND CLOTHING
is Bound over to Grand Jury for Lar
ceny-Foreman Claims He Was
Rolled and Relieved of $50.

Hunger was the motive for the theft
of dinner pail and some articles of
nominal value yesterday afternoon at
the Rock Island roundhouse by Harry
out of work for some time, and when
he entered the roundhouse yesterday
had not had anything to eat for some
time, and could but family remember
a square meal. He went to the round
house to try to secure work. On his
way through the roundhouse he noticed
one of the lockers used by the employees
for their personal belongings, and in
that locker was dinner pail. The pail
was fairly well stocked, and Brown ap-
prOpriated the bucket and contents,
took a pair of trousers and an empty
pocket book.
He was detected, and brought before
Magistrate Elliott this morning on a
charge of larceny, and was bound over
to the grand jury under $500 bond.

the influence of liquor. and advised the
complainant to report the matter more
fully this morning: He has heard moth

VOTING MACHINE is
SUCCESS WHEN TRIED
Experimental Use of Moline Product
in Davenport Expected to Re-
suit in Adoption.

A good opportunity for comparing
the efficiency of the Universal Voting
machine made by the Moline Voting
Machine company as compared with
the Australian ballot was found in
Davenport Tuesday, and the machine
won high favor with voters who tried
both systems The value of the ma
chine was especially appreciated in
view of the fact that Iowa has remOV-
ed the circle from the top of each
ticket The machines were not used
legally owing to the fact that they
could not be installed at a sufficiently
early date to allow of the proper
amount of demonstration to the voters
but in the upper precincts of the Third
and Sixth wards they were placed in
the booths, and the majority of voters
after casting a legal Australian ballot
tried a hand at the new machine The
days experience showed that vote
could be cast ON the machine in one
third the time that was required by
hand Demonstrators were present to
instruct the citizens, but the fast work
that was done on the machines was by
those entirely inexperienced in it's use
1t was the general impression that
had the machines been in the precincts
10 days before the election the voters
could have used them with ease. As
the county board agreed that they
would purchase if the general impress
sion was favorable, considerable or
der is expected by the voting machine

Dandruff, Which Is a Germ Disease
Kill the Germ.

Falling hair is caused by dandruff,
which is a germ disease. The germ, in
burrowing into the root of the hair,
where it destroys the vitality of the
hair, causing the hair to fall out, digs
up the cuticle in little scales, called
dandruff. or scurf. You can't stop the
falling hair without curing the dan
druff. and you can't cure the dandruff
without killing the dandruff germ. DE

in the senate will be behind
the Utah senator when his case comes
up for a vote.
Besides these political reasons, there
is a legal side to the case against
Smoot which will carry weight with
the lawyers of the senate regardless
of party. The election of senator is
not lightly to be undertaken, particu-
larry when the basis of action might
furnish dangerous precedent for fu-
ture cases.
Senator Shoots opponents take the
ground that he may be excluded by a
simple majority vote on a resolution de-
claring his seat vacant. On the face
of it, such a resolution may seem in
nocent enough; but, established as a
precedent, it might afford an excuse at
some distant day for the unseating of
a senator or senators by a bare parti-
san majority in order to disfranchise
their opponents and retain control of
government. Remembering this, It is
unlikely the senate will adopt the rule
piOpOSCus particularly 90 bAS ON0S WI
stitutional lawyers in the senate, both
Republicans and Democrats, declare it
would be Illegal.
If the majority rule is voted down
when the committee report is presented,
two-thirds of the senate will be re-
quired to unseat Senator Smoot, and
the poll of the senate taken at the
close of the last session shows that
two-thirds cannot be secured to vote
against him.
The conclusion seems inevitable,
therefore, that Utah's senior senator
will hail from Provo until the end of
his present term. That he and his state
have been handicapped by the unenvia-
Bile notoriety attaching to his election
will have no bearing on his case. That
| his activity in politics has been and
will continue to be a disturbing factor
in the state, is likewise of no impor-
lance. The colo fact remains that
Smoot and his machine are in power
that they mean to retain power, and
| that the state may make the best of il

THE sMooT CASE.

IN view of the approaching session of
congress and the likelihood that Sem
ator Shoots case will come UP early in
the session, inquiries have reached The
Herald asking an opinion as to the
probable outcome of the case.
Usually prophecy is futile business
for newspapers as we'll as individuals,
and The Herald prefers TO waive any
claim to certainty in its predictions,
but il seems reasonably certain that
Senator Smoot will retain his seat and
serve out his term, Providence permit
ting. Nor is there any obscurity about
the reasons for this belief.
To begin with, Senator Smoot is a
Republican. and his party needs his
vote. That of itself is a most potent
reason for his retention. Further, his
Influence and the influences he COM
mands have been placed at the disposal
of the Republican party in Wyoming
and Idaho, and the fact is duly appre-
ciated by the leaders of the party. Still
further. the president of the United
States has shown his approval OF Sen
ator Smoot by placing at his dispose
the patronage in this state, and in som'
parts of other states. The support OF
the chief executive is practical, tangible
assurance that the whole Republican
