CASES ARE ALIKE
Decision in Moline Telephone
Litigation Will Influence
Decision Here.
PROCEEDINGS DIFFERENT
Facts on Which Injunction and Quo
Warranto Suits Are Based Are
Practically Same.

The decision of the supreme court
at Springfield yesterday in the Moline
litigation against the Central Union
Telephone company is of interest and
Importance to Rock Island, because
of the similarity of the situations on
which the two cases of the two cities
against the company are based In
the Moline case the city, through G..
A. Shallberg, the city attorney, filed a
quo warranto bill in the circuit court
to compel the company to show by
what right it operates in Moline.
The Rock Island litigation is in the
form of injunction proceeding by the
company, against the city, to restrain
the city from interfering with its oper-
ations.
* Complete Victory.
The attorneys representing the two
cities in the fight against the corpora
ton regard the ruling of the court as
indicating complete defeat for the
company. The decision reverseS the
lower court in the ruling that the
franchise ordinance constituted an ir-
revocable contract This had the eff
feet of sustaining the legality of the
repeating ordinances passed in the
two cities in 1908, and leaves the com
pany operating without a franchise.

in that it places the supreme court

LOOKING UP CASE
Salvation Army Staff Captain
Comes From Peoria to In
vestigate the Murder.
CONFERS WITH PRISONERS
Arranges to Have Attorney Employed
for Defense-Woman's Sanity
May Be Inquired Into.

Staff Captain Thomas Cowan of the
Salvation Army was in the city today
from Peoria, for the purpose of look
ing into the affairs of the Salvation
Army in connection with the murder
of the little child of Ensign and Mrs.
Robert Booth. Captain Cowan visited
the two prisoners in their cells at the
county Jail, and took up with Ensign
Booth the matter of employing an at.
torney in the case.
So general has become the belief
that Mrs. Booth is insane, that it. is
likely that steps will be taken at an
early date to hold an inquiry in the
county court to determine her mental
condition. The unfortunate woman is
being given as good care and comfort
as possible at the Jail
Mother Breaks Down.
Today for the first time since the
awful happening in her room Wednes-
day morning, Mrs. Booth gave way to
her emotions, and INDUCED in good
cry. The Jail officials and others who
have seen her since she was taken in
charge by the police say that she had
not up to this time seemed to fully
realize what had occurred.
Neither Mr.. nor Mrs. Booth have Civ
en- any further light on the murder,
and the actual events which resulted
in the butchery of the little baby will
probably never be generally known.
Work Is Assigned.
The staff captain while here arrang-
ed to continue the Salvation Army
under Ensign Booths charge, assign
ing the command of the corps as well
as the industrial relief depot to w.
Grantham, who has been in charge of
the relief depot work in the three cit
les.

ST. LOUIS WAREHOUSE OPPOSED
Congressman Fitzgerald Says There is
No Need of Maintain
ing It.

WASHINGTON Feb. 1O.-After Mr.,
Leake's speech in the house today the
nonsectarian school provision of the
Indian appropriation bill was taken up.
There was brief debate after which the
provision was modified so that instead of
authorizing the commissioner of Indian af-
fairs to negotiate with the various states in
which they were located for the disposal
of these schools he is "to ascertain
whether and upon what terms it may be
possible to dispose of any of the nom
sectarian schools which may be deemed
no longer of value to the Indian service"
The commissioner is directed also to re-
port to the next session of congress the
results of his Investigations.
Mr.. Fitzgerald IN. " made violent op-
position to the permanent continuance of
the Indian warehouse at st. Louis. He
cahrged that It was put there simply for
the convenience Of Former Secretary
Hitchcock because that was his home city
The amount of business done by that
warehouse he insisted did not justify its
maintenahce.
