DAVENPORT DOTS.


Meets First Defeat-The Davenport
high school basketball team received
the first defeat of the season Saturday
afternoon at Cedar Rapids. The final
score was Sc to AZ. The scoring on
both sides was unusually heav.'
throughout the entire game. The 10
cal team was not in the best of condi-
ton, as all of the players had severe
colds. For the two preceding years
Cedar Rapids has captured the cham
p.onship of the state. Basketball has
been made the leading sport of that
school, at the expense of other ath-
letics- This accounts for their un-
usual strength in that game. The 10
Gals will play Cedar Rapids a return
game.

WON'T PRINT 1T.
Local Health officers Refuse DR..
Crumbine's Request.

The findings of the state board of
health in its analysis of food pro-
ducts, published by the departmental
bulletin on June S0th, will not be Of
ficially repubished again by the city
sanitary department
Since the law cannot force the city
physician to publish the analysis DR..
H B. Hogeboom, city physician, takes
the position that he is not called upon
to reprint the details of the findings
of the board officially.
The county physician, DR.. D. T..
Nicol, has assumed the same position
and refuses to accede to the demands
of the state board of health that he
publish the report. But the position
of the city physician is different, he is
not required by law to publish the re-
port. The law says. The said
board of health shall publish and
cause to be made public the name of
the article or articles so found to be
impure and injurious to health and
the name Of the manufacturer thereof,
where the same can be ascertained,
the same to be published in the official
county paper, and paid for as other
county or city printing
''If the law doesn't require me to pub
lish the report and the state board of
health can't compel ne to, I am not
going to print it" said DR.. Hogeboom.
"Dr Crumbine, secretary of the state
board has called my attention to pub
which have been addressed to me but
I don't intend to reprint the analysis.
Sufficient attention has been called to
the report already locally and it has
been published as news so I don't see
any need of reprinting It..
The products of q number of local
firms were mentioned in the report. Vim
egar was made by the Capital City
Chemical company and the Washburn
cider mills was said not to measure
quite up to the standard as well as GER
tain extracts made by the Parkhurst-
Davis company and Primrose and
Meadow Gold brands of butter put up
by the Continental Creamery company.
Whether the mention of local food
products in the report has some bear
ing in the refusal - reprint officially
the report Is to be conjectured DR..
Hogeboom makes the claim that repub-
fishing the data would not work to any
good or harm, that the result would
be noncommittal and that the expense
incidental to printing would be just so
much money thrown away.

The lavatory was let to Henry Ben
nett, SASS.
All the buildings will be constructed
of brick and the side walls will be 25
feet high. The roofs will be supported
by wooden beams instead of steel be-
cause the work must be finished soon
and 1t would be impossible to secure
steel girders in time to not delay the
work.
Practically every foot of the side and
end walls of the car repair shed will be
of glass. This building will be almost as
light as dav within.

MAD RUSH FOR Cash.
Sixty Policemen Overrun by Depositors
of Milwaukee Avenue Bank

Chicago. Aug. 24-Sixty policemen
were overwhelmed today by a mad rush
of men and women who were determfn-
ed to get the first money paid out Of
the vaults of the ruined Milwaukee Av-
enue State bank. Receiver F'etzer had
made arrangements to pay 20 per cent
to 5000 of the %, 900 depositors and ev-
erybody was anxious to be among the
5000. At daybreak the crowds swarm
ed around the bank, and by o'clock
the bank was surrounded by $1,000 peo-
pie. Sixty policemen had been sent to
the bank but they were unable to han
die the crowd, the greater part Of
which was unable to understand the
English language. Forty more onicers
were finally sent to the bank and order
was even then restored with difficulty.
It seemed impossible to make the de-
positors comprehend that although only
5000 were to be paid today the others
would be paid just as much within the
next few days. At one time the crowd
threatened to fairly storm the bank as
waving their passbooks in the air they
rushed for the doors shouting in Bo-
hemian, Polish, Norwegian and Italian.
The receiver was all day paying the S.,
600 and will pay as many more tomor-

SHE'S MARRIED AGAIN.
But DR.. RoIand's Widow Protests
Against sIayer's Pardon.

Mrs. Mary Roland Kleint of Topeka,
called at the office of Governor Hoch
this morning to protest against the
granting of a pardon from the peniten-
tiary to George W. Dull, who is serving
a 2o-year sentence for killing her first
husband, DR.. Roland, in the town of At
wood Rawlins county.
The circumstances of the killing
were very peculiar. DR.. Roland and
Dull had been good friends up to the
time of the murder. Roland went into
Dulrs store one day, and shortly after
Roland's dead body was found in the
back room. He had been shot. Dull
claimed that he knew nothing about it.
and the only evidence ever produced
against Dull was the fact that the muir
der was in his store and he was the
only man known to be on the premises.
Mrs. Roland has since married Mr..
Kleint, but while she has nothing to
say against the character of Dull in
sists that she thinks he should serve
out his term in prison.

TOO MANY GENERALS.
General GreeIy Says There Are Not
Places for All of Them.

Washington. Aug. 24-The report Of
Major General Greely. commanding the
department of the Pacific, eriticizing
the present arrangement of divisions
and departments of the army, has caus-
ed considerable discussion in the war
department and officers are wondering
what will be the effect when congress
takes up the subject again. It is said
that the report emphasizes the point
several times made that with six major
generals Of the line and Is brigadier
generals of the line, great difficulty is
found in finding places for them COM
mensurate with their rank One reason
for creating four divisions was to give
places for major generals the depart
ments being commanded by brigadiers.
General Greedy makes it appear that
there is no necessity for such dual COM
mands, as the departments now report
direct to the war department and the
division commanders do not know what
has been done. It is also said that extra
staff officers are required who might
well be dispensed with should the old
department method be resumed. Under
present conditions there are two major
generals stationed at Governor s island.
There is a major general and a briga-
der general at San Francisco. Natur-
ally it seems the duties are not such as
to require two general officers at one
place with a full set of officers such
as are attached to every division and
every den9 rfraauf
