TRY NEW DEPARTL RE.
Scott County Prisoners Made Usefu
and Will Improve the

RIVER FRONT.
Davenport, July 2.-The Scott coun-
ty board Of supervisors passed a reso-
luton to the effect that all prisoners
sentenced to the county jail at hard
labor to be put to work on the river
front to help improve the levee in the
vicinity of the boat club at Davenport.
The prisoners are to be in charge
of the sheriff or his deputy, but the
boat club is to secure man to watch
them while at work, and the police
are to escort them to and from the
county Jail. BY this means much of
the river front can be improved, and
lat the same time the prisoners can be
made useful while they are serving
lout their sentence. A dam is to be
built where the club house is to@he
serected, and it is to prepare the levee
along here that the prisoners will be
used.

CONSUL CLOUD
UNDER A CLOUD
Continued from Page one)

The Japan Times of December / has
the following editorial concerning Mr..
Cloud:
AS far as press advices go, the re-
port that Mr.. Cloud, the American act
ing consul at Mukden, preferred Sc
rious charges against this country in
connection with trade in Manchuria, in
official papers presented to the state
department at Washington about three
months ago, seems to have emanated
special article published by the New
y DIRK Times on the 9th ult. We have,
however, other reasons to believe that
Mr.. Clouds action has been correctly
reported, and that the telegraphed sum
mary of the charges substantially cor
responds with those made in his re-
ports so that the matter calls for some
notice. The charges are that it is
recognized by foreign merchants in
China that the Japanese government
has followed the policy of excluding
foreign goods in Manchuria since the
conclusion OF the late war; that the
Chinese government has watched close
ly the practice of the Japanese gov
eminent to pass Japanese goods into
the interior of Manchuria without pay
ing proper duties; that the Chinese
government has called the attention of
the Powers to these facts, and also that
the above statements are well borne
out by the Chinese government Stats
tics published for last year.
AS to the first charge, which insinu-
ates that Japan has been endeavoring
to close Manchuria against all foreign
goods except her own, it is an old one
that has been repeatedly made without
ever being substantiated. Like old
superstitions born of prejudice and i'm
agination, the charge refuses to be re-
duced into specific cases so that it can
only be met with fiat denial as it has
always been met before. In any case
Mr.. Cloud has apparently nothing to
say on this score on his own authority,
and it is to be greatly regretted that a
man occupying an official position, as
he does, should have allowed himself
to become a mere machine, simply re-
peating what others say without hay
ing studied the matter himself, espe'
cially when the charges in question
have so often been denied by this
country.
Enough has been said to show the
real value of Mr. Cloud s accusations
against this country. But when he
goes on to say, as reported by the New
York Times, that the japanese govern.
ment borrows money abroad at one per
cent. and lends it out to its traders in
China at two per cent, one may be per.
mitted to doubt that he is in his senses
1t is no wonder that the Washington
government has found it necessary to
suppress Mr.. Cloud s report.

NJ BRIDE WANTS y
BLOODY KNIFE
Would Have Placed All Police
Officials on Rack to Get
Weapon.

Claudius Mcbride, sometimes law
yer, sometimes private secretary to
Governor Frear, or else claimant to the
Acting Acting Governor job, met
with another repulse last week in his
capacity as an attorney. Having been
chosen to defend Kato, Japanese
charged with assault with a deadly
weapon, and becoming aware of the
fact that the knife with which the as
sault was made was in the hands of
the prosecution, he made noble effort
to obtain possession of it, and failed.
The prosecution did not care to let
the defense see it; in fact. didn t even
admit that it had it, but as Mcbride
was sure that it did, he subpoenaeGf
almost the entire police staff, and then
some. Among these were Sheriff Jar
rett, Chief of Detectives McDuffie, Dep
uty Sheriff Rose, County Detective
Lake, police stenographers and police
clerks. .-I-a 3.
One of these, he argued, had possess
sion of that knife, and he wanted it
badly. Deputy County Attorney Mil
verton of the prosecution, however. not
caring to give the case away, went up
to court to fight the motion to have
the subpoenas issued, and won out.
There is. a section in the revised laws
that Mcbride thought favored him ana
which provided for the action which he
wished, but Milverton showed the court
that there was no precedent for it's use
in criminal suit, and the motion was
overruled.
Now Mcbride needs that knife in
working up his defense, and he needs
it to win out, or that is the way it
looks 10 him. Meanwhile, he is wan
dering unconsoled about the haunts of
the police to see whether or not that
knife is sticking out of anybody IS back
pocket
However, if he holds up Capt. Harry
Lake, city and county detective, some
dark night, he may discover it. Cap
tain Harry found it in the brush near
the scene of the scrimmage-or Nc
Bride has confidential information to
that effect.

use them, iron and gold must
first be got out of the ore. The
same principle applies to cod lis-
er oil. Its virtues are not in its
fatty matters much less in its
sickening taste and smell. No
consumptive, or sufferer from any
other wasting disease, was ever
greatly benefited by the so-called
"plain" cod liver oil. The shock
it gives to the nerves, the repul-
sion and disgust it excites in the
stomach, the outrages it commits
upon the senses of smell and
taste, are enough to spoil any
medicinal potency that may be
in it for the majority of people.
This-to say nothing about its
being indigestible. Yet there
has always been reason to believe
that, among the elements which
form cod liver oil, there ex-
listed curative properties OF the
highest value. But it was neces-
sary to separate them from the
nauseating waste material with
which they were combined. This
was successfully accomplished in
