IS SUSPECTED OF
BEING CLOTH THIEF
Max Potter Held Under Heavy Bonds
While Police Look Up Owner
ship of Merchandise.

Max Potter was arrested yesterday
by the Rock Island police after they
had been informed that he was ped
ding a quantity of cloth in different
parts of the city. Potter has been in
Jail here before suspected Of having
stolen articles which he was trying to
dispose of and the police jumped at
the conclusion that he was back on the
same job again. He was arraigned
before Police Magistrate C. J. Smith
on a charge of peddling without
license and his case was continued 10
days in order to give the police
chance to learn if the goods he was
selling were stolen or not His bail
was fixed at $1,000 in order to make
sure that he would appear for trial.
He was unable to furnish bonds and
he went to jail. On his last arrest
the police could not prove that he had
stolen the stuff he was trying to sell,
although from the disjointed story he
told they were convinced that he had
not come by it honestly. This time
they hope to prove their case against
him
Sam DAILY, Sidney Mitchell and Ed
ward Goodwin were arrested yesterday
and this morning they were given

Game of Hide and Seek.
There were plenty of traces of the
burglar left behind, but none to show
his identity. After talking matters
over, those who had taken part in the
search for him Sunday afternoon and
evening decided that they had been
playing a regular game of hide and
seek with the intruder and that he
had probably laid on top of the boilers
and heard them laying all their plans
for catching him, when they had first
learned of the damage he had done.
The authorities of the school are of
the opinion that the intruder made his
way into the building Saturday night
while the banquet was in progress
with the idea of being able to work all
the next day, though just what he was
after is a mystery to the school au-
thorities. He was prevented from
working Sunday morning because of
the presence of the janitor, who was
DuSS ClSdllIHS up dIlSI Tie bdH1uSN. III
the afternoon, however, he got busy,
but was again interrupted by Mr.. Hay
den and later by the party of four men.
He remained through it all, probably
afraid to leave the building until a
late hour, and it was when he finally
decided to leave his hiding place over
the boilers that the janitor heard him
for the last time.

from That of Highway
Robbery.

circuit court. Hussey was arrested on
complaint of Charles Cox, who said
that Hussey had tried to steal his

the testimony introduced by the state,
Cox had held on to Hussey until the

sey's hand was still in the pocket OF
his intended victim. The charge
against Hussey was highway robbery,
but the jury thought this a little too
severe for the crime, and It was

RAIL EXTENSIONS
Long View and West End Will
Be Completed Before Win,
ter, Pres. Porter Says.
ALL MATERIALS ORDERED
Delay in Passage of Ordinance Puts
Company Behind. but Work
VIII Be Rushed.

Extensions of our lines promised
under the franchise ordinance recently
passed by the Rock Island council will
be completed before the snow falls
next winter" ]. F. Porter, president
of the Tri-City Railway company,
stated today
1T will be recalled that in all three
cities we urged that our ordinances
be not delayed longer than necessary,
in order to permit our placing our
material acquisitions so as to permit
our forces getting at work in the
spring. However, the last ordinance
was adopted only a week ago by the
Moline city council. We could not tell
how far we could go with our improve
ments until all three cities had taken
final action on our ordinances.
No Delivery Before August.
Il point to this situation merely that
the public might be Informed why
actual work on the extensions is not
now under way. The concern from
which we are buying our steel, for in
that can be done is Aug. 1 delivery.
That means that no new rail can be
laid until that date. Fortunately we
have some rail on hand, and this will
be used in making the extension in
the west end of Rock Island. We ex-
pect to get our forces at work in that
locality within the next few weeks.
We have all the preliminaries attended
to, so that when once we begin the
work it will be pushed through to COM
pletion without any interruption.
"Our engineers already have made
surveys on Twenty-fifth street and on
Thirteenth avenue, and It is our de-
sire to start grading there for the
closing up of the Long View loop
within a short time. There are some
grade problems in the Long View gap,
but 1 hope these will not interfere
with the finishing of the Improvement
in accordance with our plans and our
promises.
Funds Are Available.
1.-THE company has already arranged
for the funds that have asked for to
carry out the improvements promised
in the tri-cities, and the public can
rest assured that we will meet every
condition that we assumed under the
of our franchise grants. We
are lust as anxious as the public that
the improvements be installed as early
as possible and practicable, and there
is every assurance now that operations
will soon be begun and continued I'M
til all of the new work is finished"

BURGLAR HIDES
IN HIGH SCHOOL
Secrets Himself on Top of
Boilers While Search Is
Made for Him.
WHOLE AFFAIR is MYSTERY
Intruder Conceals Himself in Build
ing During Alumni Banquet and
Operates Sunday.

A very interesting attempt at bur
glary took place at the high school
building a week ago Sunday. With
the removing today of the last trace
of the damage done by the unknown
intruder ii was unnecessary to keep
it quiet any longer At 2 o'clock in
the afternoon of the Sunday following
the reunion of the high school alumni,
which took place in the building Sat
urday evening, June 4, Superintendent
H. B. Hayden had occasion to go to
his office in the building. AS he enter
ed the door he heard pounding in the
basement, and he imagined that either
the janitor or L. L. Harms, instructor
of manual training, was at work there.
He called down the stairs several
times, but as the noise ceased, and
when no answer came, he grew alarm
ed and left the building. Being in a
hurry to get a train out of the city, he
telephoned to the homes of A G.. Hill
and Principal H. z. Brown, and left
word with them that there was some
thing wrong at the high school and
that they should investigate. They
did not get the news until about 6
O'Clock, and then Mr. Hill learned of
1t and started for the building at once.
On his way he got Mr.. Harms to accom-
pany him. They went to the building
and found Mr.. Brown and the janitor
already there The noise which Mr.
Hayden had heard had been caused by
some one breaking into the store room
in the basement. The hinges there
had been broken open and the door
practically ruined in getting it off.
Lay Plans for Capture.
There was no signs OF the burglar,
and for while it was thought that
boys had done the job, though why
they should do so was not even sus-
pected. Before they left the building
Mr.. Harms asserted that he heard
noises down stairs, but the others
were sure that they came from the
outside of the building, and no more
search was made. The janitor, how
ever, was armed with a revolver and
dark lantern, and ordered to remain
on the lookout for the burglar should
he return
The basement is divided into two
parts and the door between these was
locked by the janitor, who felt that in
that way he might be able to get the
burglar should he show up, as if it
were open It would merely be a chase
up and down the stairs. About IL
o'clock the watcher heard a noise in
the boiler room, and he tiptoed down
into the basement and listened. Being
convinced that the burglar was back
on the job again, he unlocked the par
tition door and rushed into the hall
way leading to the boiler room, but
was just In time to hear the outer
doors Of the boiler room swing open.
Hurrying there. he found them stand
ing wide open and no one in sight. A

| A surveying crew in charge Of Wal

was to make Albany the northern ter

route direct to Moline.
At a recent meeting Of the interur
ban company's directors no action was
taken on the new surveys between
Hampton via Silvis to Moline, and Riv-
erdale farm via Silvis to Moline. The
delay was made necessary because of
the absence of George w. Wood, at
torney for the company. Next week
another meeting will be held and the
directors will choose between one of
the two new surveys and the original
proposed main line route between AL
bany via Hampton and WATERFOWL.

with the tri-cities lines and run over
them to Warmers Crossing. 1t is

via Watertown will be abandoned, as

The two new surveys terminate at
about the same point in Silvis. The
interurban company has been offered

from Silvis into Moline. and these,
too were considered by the directors
at their meeting. The route between
Silvis and Moline will be from either
