Address Of Congressman Lori
mer on Deep Waterway I'm
portant to Rock island.
ADVANTAGE IN LOCATION
Address to Be in Favor Of constitu.
tionaI Amendment Providing
for Big Bond Issue.

Congressman LOrimer of Chicago,
who is speaking throughout the state
in favor of the proposed amendment
to the constitution to be submitted
70 the voters of Illinois at the No
vember election authorizing the legis
lature to issue $20,000,00O for deep
waterway purposes, will be heard at
Armory hall on his visit to Rock Is
land next Wednesday. The hour will
be 1880 p. m.
Mr.. Lorimer has been one of the
most persistent workers for waterwa!
Improvement in the country and is
the father of all legislation before
congress with view OF developing
the lakes to the gulf channel. The in
terest and principal of the proposed
bonds are to be paid out of the re
turns on water power developed along
the stretch of the proposed canal be
tween Lockport and LaSalle, so
will not prove burden upon the tax
payers. The congressman has map:
illustrating the benefits to be derived
from the project and his talk is sale
| to be very interesting. He, in com
pany with Cicero j. Lindley of Green
Vile, ILL.,, is forming nonpartisai
organization throughout the state witt
view of cultivating deep waterwa.
enthusiasm and of bringing pressure
to bear upon congress and the legis
lature to further necessary Legislation
The project has received the endorse
ment of men of all parties.
Have Much to Gain.
While Rock Island is probably les.
directly interested than cities on th.
Illinois river and those on the Missis
sippi below the mouth of the Illinois
the indirect benefits will be very grea
if the canal is built. This is partio
uiarfy true because this city lies
| the western end of the Hennepi,
canal and thus would have two water
way connections with the main chan
mel, the other of course being through
the Mississippi river.
An attempt will be made to interes
as many citizens of the county as pos
sible in the meeting here next Wed
nesday and to this end the chairmef
of the democratic and republican
county central committees have beer
asked to invite the members of thos,
bodies to be present.

COURT GRANTS
WOMAN RELEASE
ON $4,000 Bail
Or. Cora Reed Given Freedom
on Filing Bond Pending
Action Of Grand Jury.
FURNISHES THE SECURITY
Ruling Is on Writ of Habeas Corpus
Miss McF adden's Suit Against
Railway Is On.

DR.. Cora Reed was released today
from the county Jail on furnishing
bail in the sum of $4,000 in the circuit
court. She sought her release under
habeas corpus writ, contending that
she was not legally held in custody
TO await the action of the grand jury
on charge against her of having
caused the death of Moline woman
by criminal operation.
Judge Gest declined to grant her
absolute freedom, but allowed her her
release on condition of giving bond
of $4,000 to appear and answer to
charges made by the grand jury if
any such be made.
Silas Emery, Fred Applequist and
&. Albert Johnson went security on
the bond.
Health Is Critical.
In the hearing on the writ Dr. Reed
testified that her health is critical, and
that the confinement of the county
Jail was likely to seriously affect her.
Evidence as to the deplorable condi-
tons of the Jail was presented, and it
was shown that DR.. Reed was confined
In the same quarters with several 9TH
er women, including two negro often
ders.
1t is likely that steps will again be
taken to secure the release of Mrs.
Robert Booth, who is held pending the
investigation of the death of her little
2-weeks-old baby. Mr. and Mrs. Booth
were denied bail when habeas cor
pus writ was heard, before Judge Ram
say. The cases are. from legal point
of view, very similar. and Mrs. Booth
is confined in the same quarters where
DR.. Reed was placed.
Trying Injury Case.
The case of Miss Florence McFad.
den against the Rock Island is still on
tNal before Judge Gest. The case is
for $4,000 for injuries sustained by
Miss McFadden in falling from the
step of sleeping car at Manhattan
Kan, in 1905. ]. T. and s. r. Ken.
worthy appear for the plaintiff and
