BIC CROWD There
Farmers Picnic at lyford's
Grove Brings Out People
of the Upper End.
FAVORED WITH PERFECT DAY
TWO Ball Games Played During Day
Rock Island Exposition Well Ad-
vertised at Picnic.

Yesterday was an ideal day for the
Farmers picnic, which was held at
Lyford's grove just north of Port By
ron, and the largest crowd of many
years turned out for the affair. There
were between three and four thousand
people on the grounds. and everyone
seemed to be enjoying the day thor
oughly. There were two ball games
played during the day, the first one in
the morning being between Hillsdale
and Yuma. Hillsdale won easily to
the tune of 6 to 2, mainly through the
many errors made by the Yuma aggre-
CATION. In the afternoon the Joslin
ners of the morning game by a good
score. Both games were full of ex-
citement, and furnished considerable
amusement for the many spectators.
Music was furnished by Moline quar-
tet all afternoon at a stand put up for
that purpose. and there was something
doing all over the grounds.
Advertise Exposition.
The publicity committee of the Rock
Island Exposition took supply of ad-
vertising matter to the picnic grounds
in an automobile, and an Argus repre-
sentative who accompanied them had
a chance to see how thoroughly the
work of getting the exposition before
the public is being done. Nearly every
one who attended the picnic took home
reminder of the exposition. Many
of the ladies carried home fans and
hundreds of the children had the lit
tie whistling fans which have attracted
so much attention since the committee
began putting them out. The number
| of young ladies who took home with
them a little mirror as an advertise
ment of the fair was only limited by
the number of glasses which the dis
| tributors had on hand. The method
pursued by the publicity committee is
reaching all the homes in the county,
and it is likely that there will be a
record crowd in attendance at the op-
ening of the exposition, and through
out the entire week of Sept. % 10
Oct. 3.

Rock Island-Frisco System Turns Over
Its Business to Company.
New York, Aug. 21.-Coincident
with the announcement that the St.
Louis and San Francisco railway had
borrowed s2,OOO,OOO from the United
States Express company came the au-
thoritative announcement that the
Rock Island-Frisco system will turn
over its expresses business as fast as
its contracts with the WellsFargo
company expire. This means an adj
ditional annual business of several
million dollars year for the United
States Express company.
Wall street men say there may be
some significance in the fact that the
Wells-Fargo Express company refused
a 100000 loan to the Frisco system
about three months ago. They say
they see the hand of E. H. Hartman
in this refusal, for Hartman controls
that company and he has no love fol
the Rock Island-FriscO interests, it is
declared.

"Polly" to Reopen the illinois,
The ninth regular season of the Illi-
nois theater, Chicago, will begin Sun
day, Aug. 80. During the summer
months the theater has been entirely
redecorated and in its new dress is
unquestionably the most beautiful
theater in Chicago. As the opening
attraction Manager Will j. Davis has
arranged with Frederic Thompson to
present that charming, dainty and
clever young actress, Mabel Taliafer-
70, in what was the great dramatic
sensation of last season in New York
Polly of the Circus the
entire year at the Liberty theater in
that city to succession of crowded
houses. So emphatic was the hit
scored by Miss Taliaferro on the
opening night that she was immediate
| ly promoted to stardom. AS Polly
she achieved great personal triumph
and reached that artistic point in her
career where she has come into her
own in a part that enables her to play
with the heart strings of her audience
as skilled musician upon harp
| Her performance is an artistic gem
sympathetic, wonderful beyond all
need of praise. The play develops a
story that is fresh, original. close to
| the soil, true to human nature and
appealing to the best instincts of hui
man nature. In its finely sympathetic
quality it reminds one strikingly OF
Charles Dickens, than whom there

"The Servant In the se."-"The
Servant In the House presented by
the admirable Henry Miller Associate
Players at Powers theater, Chicago,
has more than duplicated the extra
ordinary success which attended its
production in New York. The critics
of the Chicago papers unite in declar-
ing that the equal of this play in orig
inality, in human appeal and dramatic
power has not been seen in years. The
appeal of the drama is more far-reach-
ing than that of any other within
memory-it takes In not only the reg
ular playgoers, but also that large mass
of people who, from religious scruples.
do not attend the theater often.
Churchmen and non-churchmen alike
sit enthralled under its spell. In pure
dramatic strength and intensity of hui
man emotion The Servant In the
House" is powerful almost beyond
comparison. The story it tells of souls
tortured by hatred and envy, which
are changed through the ideal of broth
erhood by the guidance, suggestion and
will power of the Christ-like servant, is
one that will touch every man and wo-
man with a heart. The acting of the
Henry Miller Associate Players is
worthy of the great drama. Each one
seems inspired by the sublimity of the
play. Walter Hampden as Manson,
the servant, who has the features and
lives the principles of the Man of Gal
lice, seems to live the part. bearing
himself with that noble humility, that
quiet masterfulness characteristic of
the ideal. Tyrone Powers dominant
personification of the drain man, the
chief intrument through whom Manson
works his wonders, is many sided in
emotion and magnificent In action.

MISINTERPRETING THE
IMMIGRATION BILL
Debate in Congress Shows That the Aims of
the Drafters We're Not Appreciated
by the Legislators.

The conclusion of the debate on the
bill to allow the Hawaii Territorial
Board of immigration to bring white
Iaborers from Europe, as was done in
the case of the Kumeric, Suveric and
Heliopolis Spaniards and Portuguese,
the beginning of which was published
on Saturday, is here given In this
debate Delegate Kalanianaole spoke,
but was not reported at the time.
Mr.. Burnett of Alabama, after TAX
ing a fall out of the law which al
lowed the immigrants to be brought
into South Carolina, continued against
the Hawaiian bill as follows:
And vet here is bill allowing the
Territory of Hawaii to do just this
very thing. Mr.. Speaker, L believe
that that is wrong, because l think
that the contract-labor law is right;
and if that is true, then any innOva-
tion, any attack upon it from any d.
rection. is wrong. Why, it might just
as well be said that in California,
where thousands of Japanese are COM
ing over every year and settling IN
that eountry-that that section might
make the same appeal in order to get
white laborers to drive out this for
be made for both 1t is simply an as
sault upon the white labOrers of the
country. Mr.. Speaker, if they would
paw the white laborers of America
wages enough, they could get them to
90 there. and it is all a pretext and
subterfuge. in my opinion, to say that
these people are being taken there
for the purpose of driving out the
Japanese or for the purpose of having
more white people there than Japa-
nese.
Mr.. Hamilton of Michigan. Will the
gentleman permit an inquiry
Mr.. Burnett. Certainly.
Mr.. Hamilton of Michigan. Is it
true that certain States in the South
are making arrangements for the i'm
portation of laborers from Europe for
employment in the South now? !
Mr.. Burnett If the gentleman had
about the last immigration
bill that was passed, he would have
reeollected that that was being done
by the State of South Carolina, and
nnder the ruling of the Attorney Cen
eral was permitted at that time, and
the amendment that / have referred
to was for the purpose of preventing
the States from dong this very thing.
Mr. Hamilton of Michigan. Did they
Misplace labor to any extent?
Mr.. Burnett. 1t was displeasing to
many who believed too many of that
class of people were coming to the
Mr.. Hamilton of Michigan. 1 asked
If they displaced labor to any extent.

vested considerable money already IN one

induced friends to look favorably on an
other place for the opening of a great
physical-cuiture institution and gymna-
SUM, with boxing arena as a side issue
O'Brien is reported TO have had this big
physical-culture affair in his mind for
several years, and some of his plans are
novel and interesting, and ought 10, If
properly carried out. make the place known
from one end of the country TO the other.
That Jack will be in demand as q star
in some big boxing bouts in the near fu-
ture is also evident. There has always
been IA desire 10 see what sort OF an argu-
ment Jack Johnson could hand out to
O'Brien, and If they could be gotten into
the ring it will be big building that
would hold the crowd anxious 10 witness
the contest. Then, when Tommy Burns
comes back from England, the talk or a
bout between him and % Brien VIII be
taken up again. and a siX-round go be-
tween the heavyweight champion and
O'Brien would be a great money-making
affair for all concerned
The success of Jack Blackburn In the
last four years has awakened in the minds
Of many followers Of boxing question
as TO whether he could successfully go six
rounds with OBrien. and already there
have been expressions of opinion on both
sides. Such experienced followers OF the
ring as Johnny Eckhardt, Biiy Recap.
Bob Deady. Billy Mccartney. and many
others have expressed a desire 20 see just
what sort of a stand Blackburn could
make against a man as big and as clever
as O'Brien. and some OF the frequenters
Of boxing shows think that a match be
tween them would be a spectacular affair.
