CHARGED WITH
A S6S SWINDLE
John Lowe, Alleged Russian
Army Deserter, is Under Ar
rest at Burlington
FOR A JOB DONE HERE
viii Have to Answer for Using An
others Name to Secure Tee-
graph Order for Cash.

AS the result of information sent
out by the Rock Island police, the po-
lice at Burlington have arrested a man
named John Lowe, alias Reiger, alias
Stroh. and he will be brought to Rock
Island to answer charges of operating
a confidence game. and possibly of
forgery.
1t seems that early this year Lowe
spent some time in Colorado, and at
Greeley made the acquaintance OF a
man named Beats. He learned that
Mr. Beats expected brother-in-law to
arrive in the United States from Rus
STA some time in July, and he asked
numerous question about this brother
in.law and his expected arrival. Re-
turning to Rock Island, it is charged
that Lowe sent telegram to Mr..
Peats. representing himself as the ex-
pected relative from Russia, and stat
ing that he had become stranded here
and needed sGS to reach his destina-
ton. Mr. Beats forwarded the money,
through the Postal Telegraph company
and the order was cashed here. A few
days passed and Mr.. Beats learned
that his brother-in-law had not left
Russia the explanation being given in
a letter from the cars empire.
Is a Deserter.
The local representatives of the tel
graph company were at once informed
of the facts, and the operator at
Greeley wrote, stating that Lowe had
been there and learned all about the
intended arrival of the brother-in-law.
The operator also sent a description
of Lowe. which fitted exactly the man
who sent the telegram and cashed the
order here. The police took the mat
ter up and loves arrest at Burling-
ton is the result.
Has Been Identified.
The man under arrest at Burlington
was identified yesterday by Manager
Schieberl of the Postal offices here, as
the man who cashed the SOS order.

TRY IN Vain TO
DRAW CROWD
Band, Fireworks, Speeches and
Flag Raising All Employed
by Republicans.
BUT ONLY A FEW APPEAR
Colonel MacChesney Makes ParloI
Talk and Succeeds In Winning
One Mans Applause.

If the republican flag raising and
rally held Saturday evening on Eigh-
teenth street is sample of the re-
publican campaign of this fall, of
which it was termed the opening
event, the republicans will not make
much of a stir in Rock Island this
year Desperate though the efforts TO
get out a crowd were, and although
there were thousands of people on the
downtown streets during the evening,
only about 200 gathered on Eighteenth
street about the Speakers stand. The
improvements in the building of the
Union probably was greater attrac-
ton than the campaign spell binding.
The republicans failed to get to-
gether for a ratification meeting, and
this failure led the leaders to make
great efforts for the Saturday meet
ing. Attorney General Stead was to
have been the speaker, but he could
not come. so the headquarters in Chi
cago sent out Colonel N w. MacChes-
ney 1t was announced that either
u a.
Andrew Russell, candidate for state
treasurer, would be here, but neither
put in an appearance.
The committee put Stroehles band
at work early in the evening, trying
to draw the crowd by the music. The
Union had a lot of fireworks set off,
too, but as soon as it was known that
all the fuss was over republican
campaign meeting, the crowd lost all
interest.
Makes Parlor Speech.
1t was given out that Mr.. Stead
could not come because his voice is
not strong enough for open air speak
ing. He probably could have done as
we'll as Colonel MacChesney, however,
for while the colonel possibly made
| a good speech from the republican
point of view, he could not be heard
a dozen feet from the stand. B. d.
Connolly acted as chairman of the
evening, but DIR. DeSilva. chairman of
the county committee and acting head
of the city committee, was on hand,
and he assumed charge OF the meet
| ing and the raising of the flag.
| Only One Applauded.
| During the entire program the
music was the only thing that could
get any applause, both the band selec
tons and the songs by the male quar-
tet being acknowledged fittingly. Blu,
| the lack of enthusiasm over the speak
ling was marked. One man did ven
ture to clap his hands once, and his
companion, presumably his wife
turned to him and remarked very
Earnestly, "Well, John. I'm very glad
THAT there is one republican in this
crowd" And he had the appearance
lof not really meaning 1t.
