which seems to ct the facts is that
a gang Of counterfeitefs has been
doing thriving business and has
succeeded in getting a great many
coins into general circulation. The
persons getting the coins had moth
ing to do with making them, but
having them on hand they do not
like to stand the loss, but attempt
to pass them on to some other VIC
tim.
"The counterfeit half dollar, bear
ing date 1909, appears to be most
numerous. We get them from per-
sons who pass through the turnstile
at night and offer them for quar-
tiers. A few of the coins which I
have handled are so nearly perfect
that they are not easily detected.
However, so far I have not passed
out any good money for bad, and
hereafter when counterfeit coin is
presented, the person offering 1t will
be required to make his explanation

COUNTERFE|TERS
ACTIVE At FAIR
POLICE TO GRAB OFFENDERS
WHEN SPURIOUS COINS ARE
OFFERED AT GATES-MANY
1900 DOLLARS OFFERED.

Seattle. Wash, June rs. -
So numerous have become the Of
fers of counterfeit money at the
turnstiles and the money-changing
booths at the exposition that a plan
to cause the arrest of every person
presenting spurious coins was made
yesterday by the management. A
city patrolman will stand within
easy call of every money booth and
when a counterfeit coin is offered
the money changer will hand the Of
fender over to the law.
During the last few days counter
felt 50-cent pieces, quarters and dol
lars have become plentiful Not a
day passes but each of the money
changers is offered from six to a
dozen spurious coins As a rule the
keen-eyed men who handle the
money in the booths or at the turn
stiles detects the counterfeit and
hand it back to the person present
ing it.
Not Readily Detected.
'It has happened once or twice
that counterfeit is so nearly per-
feet that in the rush it Is not easily
detected and has been passed. Upon
these occasions the exposition treas
ury throws out the coins and charges
them against the men who accepted
them.
Few of the persons wfro ATTEMPT
to pass the spurious coins have the
appearance of criminals, and the
gatemen and money changers have
hesitated about calling patrolmen to
place them under arrest. Once or |
twice when a coin has been thrown |
back, patrolman questioned the
owner Of the counterfeit money. but |
in each case an explanation so salts
factory was given that no arrests
were made. Hereafter explanations
win be made at police headquarters.
Generally of Date of 1909.
There Is no way to estimate the
of counterfeit money In cir
said one money changer |
Judging from the am
cunt passed into the booths and
thrown back, there must be a good
deal Of it. The only explanation !

A BOOSTER FUND
FOR DAVENPORT
Bankers Cooperating With the Com
merCial Club in Move to Get
More Industries.

Davenport bankers have joined
with the Commercial club in an eff
fort to raise a fund of 100000 for
the purpose of promoting industrial
enterprises in the city. 1t is planned
to raise the amount by popular sub
5cription and to eXpend it from time
to time in aiding local concerns that
are worthy and that are suffering
from lack of capital, and inducing
outside factories to come to the city,
after the manner being followed by
the Rock Island Industrial commission.
A committee of five members of
the club will be named to make a
canvass for the funds. Meantime
it is proposed to send committee

booster fund idea originated some
years ago and where great good to
the city has resulted from it's use.

BARRI0S DIAMONDS AND
MANICURE SETS NEXT?
Sterling Contemporary Comments
Upon Some of the New Things
Given State Militia.

Sterling Gazette: With sideboards
built on Company Els armory to hold
the equipment, which the war depart
ment is shipping to this city, each
train continues to bring new articles
for the use of the soldiers in the
field.
Under the new Taft regime the war
department has evidently gotten a new
purchasing agent whose tastes are
those of highly educated order. His
latest innovation is the shipment, 10
this city, of so handsome tooth brushes
with fine bristles, so cakes of the best
toilet soap and the same number Of
the very best turkish towels.
Just what use a soldier in the field
would make of some of these articles
is a question. After marching Is or
90 miles. carrying a heavy pack in the
hot sun. etc, it is probable that the
genius of the war department imagines
that the average soldier would hun,
up his faithful tooth brush and, under
the direction of the captain and his
Ilieutenants, who probably would have
nothing else to do. would carefully
brush his teeth Then too, no soldier
would think of marching with soiled
hands or face, hence the soap and
towels.
1t is expected that the next ship
lment-and one is on the way-wtll
consist of a silver manicure set foI
each soldier, or possibly, Barrios
diamond shirt stud. What govern
ment needs is man who will shin
instead of toilet articles, set of corr
plasters fer each soldier and pacf
mule on which to carry the outfit
which has already been prescribed fol-

PROBABLY DROWNED
IN THE MISSISSIPPI
Empty Boat of Two Thomson, ILL.,,
Fishermen Found But Men
Are Missing.

Mystery surrounds the disappear
ance of William Groharing and Leon
Cleveland, couple of Thomson, Ill,
fishermen, who, their relatives believe,
have met death in the waters of the
Mississippi river. The river in the vi
cinity of the scene. of the two mems
disappearance is being dragged, but
the bodies have not been found.
The empty boat in which the two
men went fishing Sunday afternoon
was found floating below Thomson by
parties who were out searching for
the men. Some of the. nets and para
phernalia We're found in the boats, but
there was no trace of the two men,
whose absence cannot be accounted for
in any other manner than that they
were accidentally drowned
Both Groharing and Cleveland were
sober, industrious men. who were well
regarded by their neighbors and friends
in and around Thomson.

COST
Members of Cook County Board
Look Up Expense of Feed
ing Prisoners.
NO ACCOUNT WAS KEPT
Sheriff Explains That He Never Ex-
mcnt-Wants Even More.

The progress of the investigation of
the Cook county Jail by the investiga-
ting committee of the county board
will be watched with interest in Rock
Island, since the Chicago investiga--
ton involves practically the same
questions as are involved in the con-
lloversy in this county. Some time ago
Secretary Shelby. M. Singleton of the
Citizens association of Chicago made
public the charge that the sheriff Of
Cook county, Christopher Straussheinl,
profited to the extent of about $4,000
a year at the expense of the. taxpayers
in connection with the feeding of
prisoners. Yesterday the committee
began it's investigation, and Mr. Sim
gleton did much of the interrogating.
But little progress was made, but the
hearing disclosed the fact that, accord
ing to the sheriff, he kept no book
accounts, and saved none of the bills
for supplies in 1908. He also stated
that he had only scattering bills for
the first two months of the year,
The sheriff presented figures which
he claimed represent the actual cost
of feeding prisoners. showing the total
to be 20 Is cents. The county allows
20b cents day.
Wants Even More.
The Cook county sheriff left the in
Ivestigators gasping when he declared
that instead of cutting the allowance
about so per cent, which it has been
claimed will be nearer the actual cost
of the feeding of prisoners, he means
to insist that the board raise the al
lowance to % 5-S cents day.
According to Mr.. Singleton, the fig
lures presented by the sheriff are mere

DIES IN A CHAIR
Anton Cawi, 507, Seventh
Street, Is Victim of Apo
pletic Stroke.
WAS THE SECOND ATTACK
Had Lost Power of Speech in First
Several Years AgO-Coroncr
Rose Conducts Inquest.

Anton Cawi, 507 Seventh strecr,
died very suddenly yesterday after
noon, evidently from apoplexy . Mr.
Cawi had been ailing for over seven
years and several years ago he sus-
tanned slight stroke, but recovered
in a short time and discontinued the
services of his physician. Since that
time he had had no medical attend
ance. For some time he had been
partly paralyzed and was unable to use
his lower limbs. He had also lost the
power of speech. Even at that his
family did not consider his condition
very serious as he had good appetite
and seemed to be in good health other
wise.
Is Found Dying.
Yesterday morning he arose as usual
and ate hearty breakfast, and spent
the morning about the house. At noon
he again ate hearty meal and then
went into the front room and took his
accustomed seat behind the stove. His
wife was in the next room sewing.
After he had been in the front room
for some time. she heard him give sew
eral harsh and unusual coughs. She
called to her little daughter to go into
the front room and see if he was al
right The little girl had started when
the coughs were repeated, this time
sounding worse than before, and Mrs.
Cawi herself hurried into the room.
She was Mortified to find her husband
mouth asape and his eyes staring
wildly to the front. She tried 10
arouse him from his apparent stupor,
shaking him and rubbing his forehead
and chest with camphor, but with nc
success. A physician who happened 10
be in the neighborhood, was called in
and he pronounced the man already
dead
Inquest is Held.
The fact that Mr. Cawi had no;
been under the care of n physician
for several years. caused the doctors
to refuse to issue a death certificate
and accordingly Coroner J. F. Rose
held an inquest this morning. DIR. A
E. Williams. who had attended him
on the occasion of his first stroke two
years ago. was called as witness
and he expressed it as his belief thai
apoplexy was the cause of the death
which was the opinion accepted by
The jury.
Born on Ocean.
Mr.. Cawi had been resident of this
city for the last 10 years. He was born or
the seas July %, 1916. while his parents
were enroute from Germany to this
country. He lived in FIT Madison fol-
number of years before moving tc
this city. He is survived by his wifi;
and three children, Adolph, Dora ant
Elvina, and sister in st. Louis.
The funeral will be held tomorrow
afternoon at 2 o'clock from the home
the services being in charge of Dear
j. j. Quinn. Burial will take place a
