half of the state during the past and

the expensive grand Jury investiga-
ton now under way. In all the bill
totals up to about $4,000 1t was al
lowed by the board at the session this
morning. that is, all but bill for about
$500 from Court Reporter E. R. Ma

The bridge committee reported hav-

Colona bridge which is to connect Rock
Island and Henry counties, and hav-

state commissioner Of highways that
two sets of plans, one for concrete
bridge and the other for a steel bridge,
should be drawn up under his direction
and submitted to the two committees
in order that they may take their
choice or make such changes as they
desire. Thus far, the committee re-
ported, the commissioner has present
ed no plans, and there is nothing fur
Their to do until he does.

pairs to the Hillsdale bridges was

TWO CITIES join
FOR The REGATTA
Rock Island and Davenport
Business People Asked to
Pledge $4,000.
THOUSANDS OF VISITORS
River Meeting Would Continue Three
Days, Attracting People from
Mississippi Valley.

If the Davenport merchants evince
the same desires as those of the Rock
Island merchants, there seems little
doubt but that the 1911 regatta of the
Mississippi Valley Power Boating as
sociation will "be brought here.
The boat clubs of the two cities
have been working on the proposition
for a month or more and they finally
decided 10 let the matter rest with the
business men, as it was practically up
to them to say how much the affair
would be worth to them. 1t seems
that in order TO pull the meeting off
with credit to Rock Island and Daven-
port it will mean an expenditure of
some $4,000. and the clubs felt unable
to assume this burden alone. Accord
ingly a number of local business men
have been approached upon the sub
ject and after its full meaning was
explained to them, they enthusiastic
cally supported it. The boat club Off
Gals state that the holding of the re-
gatta here will bring 5000 to 10000
people to the two cities for three days
and that the cities would reap har-
vest. not only in the money spent here
by so many visitors, but through the
advertisement secured in that manner.
How Peoria Took Hold.
At the meeting held in Burlington
last year Rock Island and Davenport
jointly made bid for the regatta for
this year. but the Peoria club made
such a strong bid and showed that it
nois river city was favored. Rock ISL
and and Davenport agreed to support
Peoria upon being assured of the
meeting In 1911, provided they still
wanted it, and accordingly it was voted
to Peoria The merchants there took
hold with a will and raised enough
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1910-06-14

money to give $4,000 in prizes and to
assure a fireworks display that Will
cost $4,000 to produce.
The local clubs feel that they can
do very nearly as well if they are as
sured of $4,000 cash and of the sup
port of the business interests in max
ing the affair a success. At a meeting
to be held in Davenport Thursday
evening a report will be made by a
committee which has been getting the
sentiment of the Davenport merchants,
and if it is as favorable as that which
the local committee will have to make,
the delegates from the two clubs will
go to Peoria armed with everything
necessary to bring the regatta here,
including messages and invitations
from business men of the two cities,
and there seems little double but that
they will succeed, especially after the
promise made them last year.

tional association exists only on pa.
per and unless the railroads collect a
81 fee on each ticket there is nothing
to support the so-called organization.
Collections on these tickets have run
as high. # is said, as 1000 per meet
ing. Up to last year railroads acted
as collecting agencies in exacting 81
fee for every ticket sold on account OF
the National Education association
meeting and this money was turned
over to a secretary of the organiza-
ton. Then the commerce commission
ruled that it was Illegal for the rail
roads TO collect any money whatever
in addition 10 the regular rates on n
ticket and turn It over TO private
organization and the railroads aban-
doned the practice. This year the
Grand Trunk and Wabash announced
that they would make a rate OF one
fare for the round trip for this gather
ing and charge 81 for stamping the
tickets in Boston. The roads Of the
United States refused 10 go into the
deal and as the result the Canadian
lines will make a round trip fare from
Chicago Of $40 and the American lines
a regular summer tourist rate of about
S24.

The RARY,S FACE.

THE BABY'S FACE.
Who can fathom the fairy grace
That dwells in a velvety face?
Who can fathom the fairy glee
That rings in a baby's melody?
And who can unravel the secret vile
That sleeps in the nest of a baby's
smile?,
The hungry and lingering joy we know
When our rough face touches baby's,
and, 10,
We feel the touch of the velvety skin
And the warm, sweet lovelight bound
therein!
A baby's face-how can one tell
It's mystic charm and its holy spell
Rough hearts go by, rude, rugged men.
From the dust and CRIME of mart and
fen;
But under the cloak of their outer din
Loves hunger sleeps their souls with
in.
And when they see a baby's face
Round and rosy and sweet with grace
They long, as you and l, to press
The velvet JOY of it's warm caress.
How much 1t holds, how deeply lays,
Within its soft and gentle maze,
The charm to soothe, the charm to
heal
The hurt that lives so often fell!
A baby's face along the way
Is like a little bloom-o'-day;
And, like a little flower, it brings
The sweetness of a thousand springs
The balsam of the heart made we'll
Is in the touchstone of its SPELL

States Attorney Promises Con-
victions in Insurance Loot
Scandal.
COUNTY ASKED FOR AID
Board Considering Voting of Appro-
priation to Give Prosecutor Lee
gal Assistance in Work.

States Attorney L. NJ. Magill was
this morning and asked that he be
given permission to employ legal as
sistance in conducting the prosecution
of the fraternal insurance scandals
into which the present grand jury is
probing. He was asked by one
of the supervisors as to the
possibility of convictions in case
the aid asked for was granted,
and he replied that he fully ex-
pected to send a number of persons
to the penitentiary and that no one in
the state would be more disappointed
than he if he failed He said that he
could safely presume that indictments
for perjury in several cases and for
larceny, confidence game, embezzle-
ment. false reporting, obtaining money
under false pretenses and conspiracy
would be drawn, and that he believed
that he has enough evidence in each
case to secure conviction.
Mr. Magill reminded the county
board that some of the strongest tai
ent in the county would be engaged to
defend the men who are likely of in
dictment by the grand jury, and he
wanted to be prepared TO resist the ar
ray of legal batteries that would be
directed at the grand jury bills and
against the criminal procedure that
would follow. 81 am not so egotistical
as to believe that l am able, with the
facilities of our Office, to do full JUS
tice as against such unequal odds. and
80 k,t 7 I'D
should cooperate with my office to the
extent asked Mr. Magill said in clos
ing his address to the board
Explains Jurfsdiction
Several of the supervisors desired
to be informed as to who had the real
jurisdiction in the cases now being
investigated and the reply from the
states attorney was to the effect that
most of he criminal deals and con-
spiracies involving the Fraternal Tri-
bunes and American Home Circle or
ders now under Investigation were
concocted right here in Rock Island,
though he had no doubt but that San
canon and Cook counties could, if
they so desired, start similar prosecu-
tions TO those which are expected to
be started here following the return
ing of indictments
The board decided to refer the mat
ter 10 the Judiciary committee and
have it confer with the states attor-
ney and the finance committee for the
purpose of ascertaining just what the

RAILROAD NEWS

In a letter to the press, Slason
Thomson, statistician for the rail
roads operating out of Chicago, gives
the following four reasons why trans
portation rates must be raised: They
are 1920, OOO,O 900 behind on mainte-
nance; they pay $4,000, 900 more an
nually for labor; they pay $100,00O,000
more annually for interest, and they
lost $25, 100000 annually on passenger
traffic In addition to this, Mr.. Thomp-
son says that in the meanwhile the
railroads gross earnings have decreas-
ed 1874 $3.50 9S9 in two years. He says
railway rates must be advanced be
cause many companies face bankrupt

Agents of roads between Chicago and
Boston say that there may be no Ma

this year on account of the refusal of
these roads to give 81 per ticket to the
association. Managers of the Grand
Trunk and Wabash companies on the
other hand assert that they have made
one-fare rate for this meeting in
Boston and that tickets will be stamp
ed for an extension at 50. The agents
of the roads operating through Canada
say that their rate will apply only by
way of Montreal. Representatives of
