alleged attempted eXtOrtion from the
Rock Island Brewing company and who
has headed a crusade against the sa-
looms OF Scott county to compel OBJ
servance OF the mulct law, continues in

compromise. Ninety-siX of the 200 or
more suits which it has been promised

today.
The nature of the proposed adjust

extent to which Neal is acting in good

wholesale prosecution of Davenport

President John Fitzpatrick of the local

in session three hours. and at its con-
clusion Mr.. Gompers said:

Mr.. Gompers added that he was ready

He was supported by President Mitch

BROKERS' Make Peace,
Chicago grain and stock brokers', hav-
demands of the union telegraph oper-
ators for a minimum wage scale, a clos
ed shop, and a guarantee that they
would not receive any quotations from
Western Union sources, were allowed
to do business as usual yesterday.
The most demoralizing effect of the
unrest produced by the threatenel
strike was the demand made for a 1C
per cent margin on all stock transac
tons and a per cent margin on grain
deals. The brokers explained that this
was for their own protection. Last
week, in consequence of the strike, al
country customers were advised to ge
eff the long" side of the market.
There are some controversies between
the employers and the key men in sew
eral brokers' offices. These relate {,
the sources from which quotations wer,
received. In two brokers' offices 81,
men walked out, but they expressed
willingness to go back if their scrupla
were satisfied. They probably will b.
taken back.

Torrance About Sept. IS.

The Crystal theater, which was
bought some time ago by J. c. SodinI
.of Davenport, will be finished about the
second week in September and the man
agement is expecting to open the house
Sept. 10, as the Family theater. The
building has been rcmOdeled through
out, there being little of the old theater
left. An addition was built at the north
end and the stage built in this part OF
the house, making the theater consid-
erably larger than the old one. The
stage takes practically all of the rear
end of the structure anb is unusually
large for vaudeville purposes. The
stage is 30 feet deep and 2S feet wide.
Six large dressing rooms are under con
struction at the west side of the stage.
| Mr.. SOdini is now having a very at
tractive theater front made in this city
and expects TO have it ready TO put up
| i'll couple of weeks. A large sigh
bearing the name, Family Theater. has
already been hung in front of the place,
and in it are about 204 16-candle power
lights.

The seating is arranged a little differ,
ent than it was in the old house. Chairs
have been purchased, and these will be
set in rows across the building, the
chairs sitting directly on the floor and
not on raised platforms as in the old
theater. The floor has an incline OF
five feet from the front TO the stage
On each side of the stage two boxes
stage large orchestra pit will be
built A fOur-piece orchestra has beer
Engaged TO furnish the music for eacl
performance. A large dome has beer
built at the top of the rear of the build
ing. and this with two large siX-fOo
lventilators on the stage keeps the house
thoroughly ventilated.
/ The second floor of the building ha
been torn out about half way to tn
front and this will be made into a bal
|cony that will seat over 400 spectators
The contractors have been delayed il
this work on account of having to wal
for a large steel girder which is to b
, used to support the building. Harr
F. Blocker, for a number of years en-
ployed as stage manager of the oil

day in basement of an Eighth avenue
building. The condition of two others
is serious
The dead are Adam Damn and
Harry F. Baker But for the heroic
work of three rescuing parties the
death list would have been larger.
Damn and Baker had carried a pipe
through the basement and into an
opening leading to a subcellar, when
they called for water pressure When
other firemen reached the men to as
sist in directing the hose upon the
blaze Damn and Baker were not to
be seen. Ammonia fumes poured up
through the hole and filled the base
ment.
The fire had melted the coupling of
one of the ammonia pipes connecting
with the cold storage plant on the mar.
ket. Rescuing parties were formed and
Damn and Baker were carried up
from the hole with difficulty. They
died soon afterward. Each of the res
cuers succumbed on reaching the out

Capt. Bernard Carlock was down in
tho hole, where he had gone in search
of victims of the fumes and he was
brought to the surface. 1t is believed
that he will recover. The fire loss will
be about $1,000.

motormen to see beyond a few feet
ahead of them. During the fury OF the
storm, thunder and lightning were fire.

were seriously affected. shutters and
chimneys blown down and pedestrians
were obliged to seek shelter from a 81

returning home in Allegheny and left

pENMANsHlp A FINE ART.
TypewrIting Has Not Driven Hsno
Work from the Field.

There is a renaissance in penman-
ship, despite the speedy comforts Of
the typewriters, Ten years ago It prob.
ably would not have occurred to any
one to show page Of manuscript at
any exhibition; to-day pages or books
Of script form a feature of every show
which takes to itself the name of arts
and crafts. Some Of the work is in
Roman capitals. but the form Of letter
usually adopted is the unciel or half
unciel Apparently all the writer's
have founded themselves in these
models. Within these last few years
not only has the art attracted good
deal Of attention, but it has become
quite the rage, so that in some circles
it creates no more surprise now to
learn that an amateur is taking les
sons in script than it would have done
some years back to be told that he or
she had taken to poker work. From
one viewpoint it is difficult to say
where writing ends and illustration
begins, but though in the recent re.
viyal the two arts naturally have gone
hand in hand, the scribe and the illum.
inator are not necessarily one and the
same person, Some of the illumina-
tions show most elaborate and minute
figure decoration, so delicate in color
ing and so refined in treatment that
it challenges comparison with the best
of old work.

nor, charged with conspiracy against
the United States government, was
called for argument here today before
the United States circuit court of ap-
peals, and after considerable discussion
was postponed six weeks.
Before the case was called attorneys

the appeal is based on nearly 200 as
signments of error, classified under Is
subjects, including the extradition pro-
ceedings the statutes of limitations.
the question Of whether New York or
Georgia courts had jurisdiction and the
claim that the jury which convicted
was not legally qualified.
The postponement was granted to give
the governments attorneys time to
properly read the brief of the defense,
amounting to ATS pages, the printing of
which was finished five days ago.
