MYSTERY IS SOLVED.
SAYS CHIEF GOODS
Murderer of Schultz Under
Arrest, Is Opinion of the
Alexandria Police.

The arrest of the four negroes has
kept Alexandria aSog with speculation
regarding the murder. The town was
at first disposed to regard the case as
one TO be counted among the unsoIva-
bic mysteries But TINS morning the
impression prevails mat within the
next twenty-four hours the chief OF
police will have I'm his possession SUI
ncient evidence to make his case. After
the men are examined today, even
though nothing new - learned, chief

which several days ago held the in

The four negroes will be taken be-
fore the jury and two new witnesses
whose names the Alexandria police

examination. These witnesses are
said to have kept Chief Goods in

scene of the murder. but no new clues
were found in that vicinity by him.
He realizes, as do the members Of the
Alexandria police force, that the pres

His determination to clear up the
mystery has become more nTm since

TAKES SHOES FROM
STORE HERE ON TRIAL
James F. YOre. Old Offender, Works
His Game Successfully in
Rock Island.

Jams E. Yore was arrested yester-
day afternoon by the Moline police and
brought to this city to answer to a
charge of obtaining merchandise under
false pretenses. Yesterday Yore went
to the Island City shoe store and got
leave to take several pairs of shoes
home on the representation that his
wife wanted to try them on. He dis
appeared with the shoes and nothing
further was heard of him until he was
arrested by the Molint police on infor-
nation furnished them by the local
police. He was brought down here and
bound over to the grand jury under
bonds of $4,000.
Yore had bten out of Jail only a
short time. Not long ago he was ar
rested in Davenport on a charge of be-
ing drunk and disorderly and sentenc-
ed to spend 10 days in jail. At the
end of that time he was ordered to get
out of the city and he started for Rock
Island, but fell on his way to the
bridge and broke his nose. He was
taken to st. Johns hospital and kept
there until yesterday morning, when
he was released and once more order
ed to get out.

When You Change Trading

STRICTLY ENFORCE RULE
Is Old Agreement, But Loose Meth
DDS Have Resulted in Some
Heavy Losses Recently.

Hereafter you will be obliged to
show a clearance from your former
grocer before you can open an account
in a retail store in Rock Island. For
several yeras there has been a rule 70
this effect in the Rock Island Retail
Grocers' association, and for a period
it was enforced, but members began to
loosen up with the result that sew
eral of the local grocers admit having
lost large amounts. At the annual
meeting of the association last even
ing at Maths hall, the following resolu-
ton was adopted:
There shall be a strict enforcement
of all bills being paid in full when due.
and no new credit shall be extended to
any customer unless said customer
holds a clear receipt from a former
grocer, or can furnish satisfactory ref
erence."
Complain of CnnvassinE Schemes.
Another annoyance complained of by
the local grocers is the house-to-house
canvasser. Solicitors representing
various distributing houses offer their
produce at a low price or with a premi-
UNI When a customer presents the cou-
pom to the grocer calling for the arti-
Gle, he must have it in stock or get it,
or possibly lose the customer. A gro
Ger is almost compelled to buy the ar
ticle whether it will be profitable 0r
not. The association adopted this res
olution:
NO order taken by a special can
vasser will be recognized by grocers,
unless order is taken by permission
of the grocers' committee"
A Christmas donation was voted to
some society to be named later by the
grocers' committee. The money is for
the purchase of groceries and TO be

Washington, D. c., Dec. 21.-The adj
ministratlon offered last night to with
draw the reappointment of District At
torneys William A. NOrthcott and VIII
liam E. Trautmann and United States
Marshal P. C. Hitch, all of Illinois, in
order to smooth over the row precipi-
tated by the action of President Taft
in sending their nominations to the SEN
ate without the express approval Of
both Illinois senators. After considera-
ton Senator Cullom and Senator Lori
mer stated that they would not insist
on such action and the final announce
ment from the department of justice
was that the nominations would not Je
withdrawn.
For a time it looked as if there was
going TO be a first class falling out
between the president and the two sen
ators and between Senator Cullom and
Senator Lorimer themselves. Senator
Cullom has been consulted to some eX-
tent by the president. but Senator LOr-
inner had not been consulted at all.
Hottest Politician in Town.
Altogether. Senator Lorimer was
about the hottest politician in these
parts last night. He has not seen the
president since he came to Washing
ton, although he has gone 10 the White
house repeatedly, the last time being
this morning, when he was turned
down in an attempt to reach the chief
executive on a matter of Illinois pat
ronage.
Lorimer has been ignored by the
president not only with reference TO
the appointments that went in yester-
day, but with reference to all the ILL
nois nominations. He felt particularly
chagrined over the failure of the pres
ident to ask his advice on the filling
of the district judgeship in
Chicago, and it is largely because of
the opposition of Lorimer that the
nomination of Judge Carpenter for this
place is being held up in the senate
now. Although the senate confirmed
Judge Lurton for the supreme court
the nomination of Carpenter still is ly-
ing in the judiciary committee, 20
which it went at the same time as
Lurton's.

Washington, Dec 21.-COnsidera-
BILE interest attached to the nomina-
tion sent TO the senate yesterday by
President Taft of Charles p. Hitch
on Paris, H., to be United States
marshal for the eastern district of
that state. 1t has been current gos-
sip for some time at the White house
that Roosevelt, before leaving office,
had selected this place as a reward
for James Sloan, Jr., a Danville. Ill,
secret service man who always &C
companied him in his travels through
the country, who swan creeks with
him in dead of winter, climbed preci-
pieces and participated in all the
strenuous outdoor doings of the last
administration. Sloan had been on
duty with Taft since the latter's in
auguration and it was not until a
few days ago that It became under
stood he had decided not to appoint
Sloan. Speaker Cannon, whose
home is at Danville, was one of
SIoan's opponents, and urged the ap-
pointment of Hitch, who has held the
