SHOOTS TWICE
At A WOMAN
Clarence Camery Tries to Murder
Former Mistress at Her Rooms
in Davenport.
MAKES GOOD HIS ESCAPE
Both Bullets Take Effect, One Piercing
Lungs, But Victim Has Chance for
Recovery.

An attempt at murder took place in
Davenport last night, and it was
through no fault of the assailant that
the victim is still alive and bids fair
to recover The principals were Miss
Lulu Prue and Clarence Camery, who
have until several weeks ago lived to-
gether on City island. Following a
quarrel, the woman left the island and
took up apartments at 709 West Sec
ond street She soon began receiving
the attentions of a man named Jack
Runge and when Camery found this
out he secured a revolver and went out
to look for both of them. He went to
his former sweetheart's room, and af-
ter short argument shot her twice,
one bullet taking effect in the arm and
the other piercing both lungs. He
then fled, leaving the woman lying
PROSTATE on the floor.
Woman May Live.
The pistol shots attracted attention,
and the unconscious woman was soon
found and cared for at Mercy hospital,
where it was reported this afternoon
that she will recover. In the meantime
the police have been on the lookout
for Camery, the would-be assassin, but
no trace of him has been found. He
was seen soon after the shooting, run
ming west on Second street, but has
not been sighted since.

The First Day Doesn't Count

Almost any sort of suit looks well when it is
first put on but after man has WORN it for
little while and his body has begun to move
around in it and rhe effects of the pressing
iron have worn away and dampness begins to
play havoc with the fabric, unless the shape
of the garments has been wrought into the
cloth and the cloth has been cut so right that
it can't help hanging proper1y-so that the COL
lar must cling to the neck and the 1apels lie
firmly against the breast the original appear
anCe of the clothes will soon be lost. A we'll
made custom tailored suit will be right in the
beginning and stay right to the end. 1t is spe-
Ca1ly measured over the body of its wearer and
therefore, when it does begin to settle upon him,
there isn't contest between the figure and
the garnents--a contest which will always
prove to the disadvantage of the clothes, if they
are not measured to order

q charge Of entering the country II.
legally. and his case came up for trial
before Commissioner Chaplin, Thurs
Gay morning. Then II was that his
record stood him In good stead.
Dr.. Minerva Kline and Miss Hattie
z. Kline, No. 6238 Drexel-ave.. Chica-
60, who are connected with Chinese
mission work In that city. came to De-
troit and testified to Chin KEGS iden-
tity and his attending their Sunday
school for years past. The govern
ment had nothing to controvert their
testimony except q statement claimed
to have been made by Chin Kee upon
his arrest
Il would like to tell you about an
other Chinese boy who died in our
home rs a result OF such proceeding
as this" declared Miss Kline as she
finished her testimony. The attorneys
demurred. but she repeated her story
after adjournment TO several who were
interested.
I'VE had boy brought to US who
had been born In this country. but
whose father had died here. His moth.
er had gone back to China, but they
were In poor circumstances and he
came here To earn rice for her. as he
told US He was caught and shut up
for months In jail, contracting the dis
ease there which brought about his
death. He was finally released and
brought to my sister, DR.. Kline. for
treatment. He was 30 anxious TO get
we'll to support his mother, but he be-
came sick again as soon as he tried
TO work. Just before he died he
thought he saw his mother IN the room
and II made him 80 happy"
Miss Kline stated In her testimony
that there had been 230 Chinese In
their Sunday school this winter, and
that Chin Kee had been regular at
tendant SO that she could not be mis-
taken In his identity. Bak Kun and
Ting Fun. who were arrested with
Chin Kee. were not Sunday school
pupils, but the court room was filled
with other Chinese from other cities
who will testify as to their right TO
land here.
The hearing In Chin KEGS case was
resumed Thursday afternoon, but 1t
seems improbable that he will be held.

coURTMARTiALED

County Agent Lawrence. In company
with Mary Voigt, visited Fort Wayne,
Thursday morning. and the girl iden'
tilted one OF the soldiers confined In
the guard house as the man against
whom she has made serious charges.
Maj. Goodwin informed Mr.. Law
renee that he and the army officers
would cooperate with the police In
suppressing the practice OF soldiers In
enticing young girls into the grounds.
and the major gave every assurance
that he would call courtmartial TO
deal with the charges against the man
now held. The army regulations
against the crime OF which the man Is
accused are much more severe than
the civil laws.
