COMMITTEE IN
LONG WRkNCLE
Republican County Organization
Has Animated Discussion
Over Resolution.
ON LEGISLATIVE MEMBERS
Present Members Are Finally Upheld
But Not in Form as Origin
ally Designed.

The three words, entitled to reelec-
tion," caused a pronounced and ANNA
ted difference of opinion among the
members of the county republican Gen.
trail committee, which met at the court
house this afternoon at 100. The
three words appeared at the close of
a resolution presented by L. c. Bland
ing of Moline, in which he commended
Senator Frank. A. Landee and Repre-
sentatives Thomas Campbell and
Frank Abbey as worthy representa-
tives, entitled to reelection" to the
general assembly from the Thirty-third
senatorial district.
Differ With Chairman; Win Point.
County Chairman Joseph DeSilva was
very anxious TO have the resolution
adopted unanimously as it was pre-
sented, but Cyrus Miller and James
Hutchinson of Bowling, and others, OBJ
jected to committing themselves by en-
dorsing the candidates to the detri-
ment of others who might seek the Of
fee of any of the three. The two COM
mitteemen from Bowling insisted that
the three little words be left off, and
the county chairman and the majority
insisted that they be left standing.
Three Words Omitted.
It took just two hours for the men
from Bowling to win their point and
the resolution was finally adopted
without the three words, but still
commenting the representatives as
worthy"
After adopting the resolution in
it's revised form and issuing a call
for the primaries and the convention
in September, the meeting was adj
journed.

John w. Freel Comes to Rock
Island to Prepare Plans
for Marriage.
EXPIRES DURING THE NIGHT
Intended Bride His Companion-Post
MOrtem Ordered by Cor
Oner's Jury.

John w. Freel, a wealthy retired
farmer from Little York, ILL.,, came
here yesterday to plan for his mar
riage today with Mrs. Alice Mccoy,
also of Little York. but the marriage
will never take place, as Freel died
during the night while at the Vemere
hotel with the woman who was to
have been his wife this morning. Cir
cumstances connected with the death
we're such that the coroner's jury
which met in the Knox undertaking
parlors, where the body had been con-
veycd, refused to render a YER
Dict until expert testimony is
secured as to what caused the
mans demise. DR.. Joseph DeSilva,
who attended the man for short time
before death came, refused to give the
reason for the death until he had as
sured himself by means of post NOR
tenn examination. Accordingly, he and
DR.. A. N. Mueller will perform an au-
topsy, after which the contents of the
deceased mans stomach may be sent
to Chicago for further examination.

Planned Marriage Today.
Freel, who was about 60 years
old, with white hair and mustache
and apparently of strong ply
sique, came to Rock Island yesterday
and in the afternoon registered at the
Vemere hotel on Seventeenth street,
between Second and Third avenues.
The intended bride arrived from
Monmouth on the Burlington train
in the evening. Freel met
her at the station and they went to a
restaurant and had their supper. The
woman had expected to be married at
once, but Free1 explained he had fail
ed to get a marriage license before the
county clerks Office had closed, and
they perforce had to wait until morn
ing. He had made arrangements with
Rev. H. w. Reed of the First Baptist
church to perform the ceremony this
morning After supper the couple went
to the Airdome and spent the evening,
after which they repaired to the hotel
where they registered as man and wife
Had But One Room.
On the witness stand before the cor
oner's jury Mrs. Mccoy stated that
when they went into the hotel Freel
asked her If she wanted a separate
room, but it was decided that one
would be enough inasmuch as they
were to be married in the morning.
They spent some time looking over the
trousseau which Mrs. Mccoy had pre-
pared for the occasion, after which
they retired. Mrs. Mccoy said that
when they went to the room her in
tended husband showed signs of being
sick and that he complained of a pain
IN his side. 1t seems that he spent the
greater part of Tuesday in a dentists
chair in Monmouth, and Mrs. Mccoy
says this may have had a bad effect
upon him.
About 1:45 it was thought advisable
to summon a doctor, and the night
clerk of the hotel Otis Huller, was
communicated with. He telephoned to
DR.. DeSilva, who responded and directed
that the sick man be given some whis-
ky mixed with water. He also left
some tablets, one of which was to be
administered every hour. Less than an
hour later the woman opened the door
to the room again and screamed, and
Huller ran up to see what the trouble
