Clara B. Lyford,~ 1924 Second avenue.
Mr.. Burgh was born in this city in
1859, and resided here until about
eight years ago when his interest in
the lumber business required his at
tention in the north. For the last
Year he had been at Minneapolis
where his death occurred. He had
been ill for a few days with what
appeared to be merely a severe case
of grip and very little alarm was felt
Tor the outcome. The remains will
be brought to this city tomorrow and
private funeral services will be held
al the home of his sister. .
Mr.. Burgh was the only son of Col
onel II. B. Burgh. His wife and two
sons and two sisters. Mrs. Clara B.
Lyford and Miss Evangeline Burgh,
survive him. Mr.. Burgh, during his
long residence in Rock Island, took a
prominent part in militia matters. had
many warm friends and was held in
high esteem by all who knew him.

PUBLICATION TO MOVE
TO A NEW LOCATION
Concern to Get Out of Looney
Building

Myron Jordan, editor of the publica-
ton whose press was blown up by
mysterious means early yesterday
morning, gave out today that the new
publishers have secured new quarters
in the Blake building on Third ave-
nue. and have leased the location for
five years. The company proposes to
remove at once from the Looney build
ing on Second avenue. The examina-
ton made by mechanics shows the
printing, press to be a complete loss.
1t is estimated that the damage in
the printing plant will be about ST.
200. No further clues have been found
as to the perpetrators of the outrage.
The publication was last evening is
sued, after legitimate papers had re-
fused to publish it, from the printing
office of Ed Nance on Nineteenth
street. The fact that this is an open
or non-union shop, and, nevertheless
using the union label on its products,
led TO murmurs of protest ON the part
of union labor men.
From the trend of public discussion
1t is gathered that there will be
difficulty in convincing the average
person that the Looneys are in fact to
be absolutely eliminated from all con-
nection when the reorganization be-
comes entirely effective. While those
who now assume to speak for the COM
pany seem particularly anxious to
convey the impression that they pro-
pose to divorce the establishment from
all its old environments and associa-
tons, removing to another building.
business men say it will be necessary
TO go further, even to the obliteration
of the name, which has come to repre-
sent in the eyes of the decent people
of this community all the odious prac-
tees to which any element of the pub
lie press may be degraded.
1t was Henry Heuck. until recently
soldier at Rock Island arsenal. and
lot John Heuck who has been acting
as janitor at the Looney building and
who was thrown out of bed by the
explosion yesterday morning. John
Heuck requests the correction made.

TEAM IS CHOSEN
Preliminary Contest Held by
Glasses of Augustana to
Choose Representatives.

Two Members of Each Class Argued
onNouestion of Compulsory
Arbitration Plan.

In the preliminary inter-class debate
held at Augustana college last night
A. K Reading, j. T. Heline and f.
e. Ryden were selected as Augustana's
representatives in the coming debate
to be held with Bethany college at
Lindsborg, Kan, May 1. There were
eight participants in the contest last
night-two from each of the college
classes. OF the representatives
chosen one is serior and the other
Two are sophomores.
The subject debated was, Resolved
That disputes between capital and
labor should be settled by compulsory
arbitration" The affirmative was sup
ported by A. K. Reading. C. p Aberg,
E. E. Ryden and ]. A. Samuelson,
while the negative was supported by
p. A. Johnson, Thure Homer, ]. T.
Heline and Oscar Wahlund The
judges decided the question in favor
OF the affirmative by vote of to 1.
This is the side which Augustana
will uphold AGAINST Bethany.
Put I'm Practice.
The affirmative side held that the
constant industrial warfare between
capital and labor necessitated govern
ment interference. 1t was shown that
voluntary methods of arbitration had
proven failures in various countries,
whereas compulsory arbitration has
been adopted with success in New
Zealand and Australia The principal
argument of the negative was that
any method involving compulsion
would be unconstitutional in the
United States as it would infringe ON
personal rights.
The judges in the contest were Cir.

TAFT PLATFORM IS APPROVED
Committee ON Resolutions VIII
Report Il without Amendment.

Committee on Revolutions Will
Report Il without Amendment.
CHICAGO, June H.-Those who are d.
recting the Taft forces here are respon-
sible for the announcement of two impor-
tant developments today respecting the
platform problem.
One is that Senator Albert J.. Hopkins
OF this state will be chairman OF the reso-
buttons committee, sustaining previous ten
tative predictions. The other, that the
Roosevelt-Taft platform will be adopted
in the precise form in which It was APP
proved In Washington before being brought
to Chicago by Wade Ellis. who compiled
the document under the instructions OF a
conference recently held at the White
House.
These announcements followed a four
hour conference between Mr.. Ellis and
Senator Hopkins, in the offices of the lat
ter. at the woman's temple building here.
The deductions from the statements are
regarded as both interesting and impor-
tant. The first is that Senator Hopkins
would not have been assured the chair
manship OF the committee had he not given
his unqualified approval to the platform.
The second is that IN view OF his close
relations to Senator Aldrich and the con-
servatives in the party the senator has
recognized that the Taft forces are in COM
plete control OF the situation and are able
TO dictate in advance the terms of mem
bership on the resolutions committee. 1t
may also be inferred that senator Hopkins
found the various planks of the platform
to evidence the policies OF the Roosevelt
administration, and in this respect con-
shutting a document on which the party
may well go before the voters of the
country. 1t Is not denied that there are
some planks in the platform as at present
written which would be modified II the
opposition to Secretary Taft had it's way
These relate to the announcement on the
use of the injunction in labor disputes and
the plank which will indicate the length
to which the federal government should
go in the control Of railroad capitalization
and operation.
That rapid progress is now being made
in determining the personnel OF the resolu.
tons committee is admitted. 1t Is the
fact that this progress now indicates the
complete control OF the committee by tht
Taft element that mAkes the announce.
ment Of chairman and ultimate action pos.

ROAD nxFERT speensTs SAND
W. L. spoon Examines Mud In Cass
County After RRtn.

1aAA AAAN ANNNA
PLATTsMOUTH. Neb.. June 1~A-(spe-
cisl)-At the request OF Congressman
Pollard, W. L. Spoon. United states road
expert, arrived in this city from Wash
ingtOn Friday evening The object OF his
visit IL to examine the roads in this and
other portions OF Nebraska with a view,
IL possible, to improve their condition.
With that object in view Mr.. spoon and
the Board OF County Commissioners TOOK
a trip Of several miles in the county on
Saturday. The trip was instructive, as
II ave them an opportunity to view the
roads in their worst condition, due TO the
recent excessive rains.
Mr.. Spoon said the soil conditions here
are not unlike a large area of the Mis-
souri, and Mississippi valley states, which
is largely a linfe and silt soil. brought
down from the slopes Of the Rockies aud
other highland regions. This composition,
he said, makes a most unsatisfactory
roadbed, except when dry. While proper
ditching and browning of the roadbed i'm
proves it, still owing to its sticky charac-
%teristic It quickly cuts into Tuts and
chuck holes during the rainy season. The
problem, therefore, Is to add some ma
terial, II possible, to overcome this quick
mud-making tendency Of the native soil.
After his return from the country Mr..
spoon was shown some Of the Platte river
sand and he said that II a sufficient
quantity Of 1t was thoroughly mixed with
the roadbed IT will be found to be a step
in the right direction and most likely
prove a practical method OF improving
the roads.
Il am quite sure" he said. THAT this
will prove of great benefit, and Wherever
possible l can but urge that tests be made,
as it WIFI be much cheaper and more easily
repaired"
Mr.. Spoon will visit Richardson, Custer,
Lancaster, Pawnee and Lincoln counties in
this state before going to Kansas.
