WOMAN TRIES TO
SEVER Her HEAD
Mrs. Wilhelmina Arp Uses Two
Knives in Attempt at
Suicide.
LITTLE CHANCE FOR LIFE
CHASTITY Discovery by Neighbor and
Four Physicians Are Called In
Believed Insane.

Mrs. Wilhelmina Arp, a widow resid,
ing at 426 Tenth street, tried to com
NIT suicide yesterday afternoon at 3
o'clock by cutting her throat, and while
she did not succeed at once in her pur-
pose. there is little hope for her re-
covery. She is now at st. Anthony's
hospital, unconscious, and hourly ex-
pected to die.
That the woman Is living at all is
remarkable, as her head is almost sep
arated from her body. She used two
sharpened table knives with which TO
do the deed, and while she did not get
to abe jugular vein, she severed the
~Windpipe and the oesophagus, and had
medical attention been less promptly
received, her death would undoubtedly
have misunderstanding. AS It happened,
DR.. G. G. Craig was in the vicinity max
ing call, and the neighbor woman who
found Mrs. Arp lying on the floor in
such CHASTITY condition, summoned him
and he put in hurry call for the city
ambulance. It made remarkable time

ARSENAL VACATION
PERIOD is AT END
Employees Return to Their Duties at
Noon Today After 15-Day
Layoff.

The employees of the Rock Island ar
senal, who have been enjoying their
annual 15-day vacation, returned TO
their work this noon. On account of
so much work on hand at the present
time, it was impossible for all the en-
ployes to take their vacation at the
same time During the annual lay-Off
many men took advantage of the fine
weather and sought the shores of Rock
river, where they enjoyed their leave
away from the sweltering heat of the
city. All the men who worked during
the vacation period will be allowed
their lay-off later when the work is not
so rushed.

DAVENPORT CONCERN
RESISTS TAX HERE
Crescent Cracker g. Macaroni Com
pany, Davenport, Files Peti-
ton Injunction.

Attorney z. W. Schoede today fled
a petition for Injunction in the
Office of the circuit clerk, in which his
clients, the Crescent Macaroni &
Cracker company of Davenport, pray
that the county treasurer and the
township collectors be enjoined from
making levies on the transient deliv-
cry wagons of the company in order
to enforce payment of tax upon the
capital stock of the firm. The com
pany. it seems, is incorporated in this
state.and has a nominal office in Rock
Island. but the factory and all OF its
possessions are located in Davenport.
The grounds for not paying the cor
porakion tax is that this county has no
right 10 tax an outside plant. The
case is along lines similar to the dozen
or so suits against the county officers
already pending and It will come up In
September with the rest Of them.

Accident Occurs as Boat Is Moving
Under Tow Towards Kahlke
Yards to Be Repaired.

The steamer Helen Blair was f1oated
yesterday afternoon, but it was above
water only a few minutes before it
sank again, to the surprise of everyone
concerned in its raising. AS will be
remembered, the boat hit an obstruc-
ton in midstream July 13 near Subur-
ban island and in order to prevent its
sinking at once it was beached. y
diver from Cincinnati was engaged
and under his direction the holes in
the hull were bulkheaded. The boat
was then pumped out and raised to
the surface and the steamer Acorn
started to tow it to the Kahlke boat
yards, where it is to be repaired and
made ready for service again. The
steamer moved just one length. how
ever, before it suddenly sank to the
bottom again and this time in consid-
erably more water than before. The
bow now lies where the stern was
formerly and the stern is just boats
length further out in the river. There
is five feet of water in the engine room.

but it is believed that the bulkheads
which were built around the holes in
the bottom of the steamer proved I'M
seaworthy and that when the weight
of the boat came upon the bottom, as
1t Gid when raised, they gave way.
From the speed with which the boat
filed up and sank it seems that this
is the only solution, as a new leak
could scarcely have developed so rapid

the workmen started right in again
and new bulkheads will be built and
the boat raised again, this time sue

WOMEN STENOGRAPHERS
BARRED FROM SERVICE
Commission Makes Announcement to
Stop Flood of Applications
for Positions.

Washington, July 21.-Women
stenographers apparently no longer
are wanted in the government SER
vice. This announcement has been
made at the civil service commission
in an effort to put stop to a steadily
increasing flood of letters from wo-
men throughout the country who
seek information about an examina-
ton for stenographers to be held next
Tuesday in all the states and terri
tories. This examination is for the
purpose of recruiting only men stem
ographers and typists the demand for
whom the civil service commission
has been unable to meet. Practically
all the various departments of the
government are seeking to replace
women stenographersw with men on the
ground that the latter are more
amenable to discipline, are more cas-
lily transferred to places where their
services are needed and can more
readily be drafted into other kinds
of work.

there was bad blood between Sund-
berg and Nelson, and he requested the
latter to remain with him until Sund-
berg was on his way home. Sundberg
was let out side door. After a time
Nelson left Presently Vandegenachte
heard cries of man that sounded as
though he were in pain. He ran to
the side door and saw two men strug-
Cling on the sidewalk a short distance
from the saloon. When the saloon
keeper reached the side of the men he
recognized them as Sundberg and Mel
son. Nelson was underneath and
Sundberg was bending over in endeav-
oring to raise him to his feet. AS Van
degenachte drew near Sundberg re
leased his hold of Nelson and ran.

BILE outside the saloon and that he was
merely defending himself when he
struck him with the rock. An inquest
