ALLEN DENIES HE'S
AFTER NOMINATION
Moline Manufacturer Says He Is Not
Seeking McKinney's Berth in
Congress.

The Chicago Tribune of this morn
ing contains the following bit of in
teresting political gossip:
william J. Graham of Aledo, for
mer states attorney of Mercer coun-
ty, surprised the politicians of the
military tract by coming out against
Mckinney. Graham halls from Con-
gresham McKinney's own county.
Local factional politics are reported
TO be at the bottom of the anti-Mc-
Kinney movement at this time, but
further developments in the cam
paign may resolve the affair into a
straightaway standpat-insurgent af-
fair. There is a report from Rock
Island county, in the Mckinney dis
trict, that Burton L. Peek is a prob
able candidate for the republican
nomination, but that Mr.. Peek's at
titude will depend largely upon
whether Frank G.. Allen of Moline
will try out for congress in Septem-
ber.'
Il am not a candidate for con-
gress, nor will be-" was the only
comment F. G. Allen had to make
"ASA SSSn ny d ISPOIJSE IulS uOIu-
ing.
B. F. Peek is in Europe on his
honeymoon and will not return until
the latter part of June. William But
terworth, speaking for him, said:
This is all news to me. know Mr..
Peek is friendly towards Mr.. McKin-
ney. I never knew of Mr.. Peek hav-
ing entertained any congressional as
pirations"

Runaway Hits Automobile.

A horse owned by Pete Hanson of
Sears broke loose this afternoon
from a hitching post to which it had
been tied by the owner and ran wildly
up Second avenue. At East Seven
teenth street it's course was blocked
by another team and seeing this the
horse turned north on the street and
finally ended its mad dash when it col
lided with DR.. F'reytag's automobile
which was standing upon the west side
of the Best building. The rig was
overturned and almost broken into
kindling wood. The machine was
somewhat damaged also, one of the
lanterns being smashed and some of
the other parts damaged

OFFICER IN CHASE
Dennis Bennett Follows Color
ed Girl at Breathless Pace
but Lands Her.
WANTED AS A WITNESS
Had Been Indulging in Brick-throw-
ing Contest With Roy Paris
Many Drunks Fined.

Patrolman Dennis Bennett had a
most exciting chase this morning while
trying to arrest a coIored woman who
gave her name as Lee Allen. The
colored damsel was busily engaged in
a brick throwing contest in an alley
between Twenty-third and Twenty
fourth streets and between Third and
Fourth avenues. The other contestant
was Roy Paris, also coIored. officer
Bennett happened along in time to
see the affair, whereupon the woman
set I'D howl for the arrest of Paris,
and she was accommodated.
The officer decided, however, that
it would be a good stunt to take the
woman along as a witness against the
man, but when he told her of his in
tention, she lit out like a streak of
creased lightning. The officer turned
the prisoner over to a spectator and
set out under full sail to get her. The
chase was a long one leading through
numerous ramshackle houses, overturn-
ing chairs, spilling little pickaninnies
on the floor and raising a most I'M
usual commotion in that section of
the city, but the final result was that
Dennis wind was better than that of
the coIored girl and she had to sur
render. The patrol was called and
she and Paris were taken to jail,
where they will be asked to show why
their conduct should not be consid cred
unlawful
A Score of Drunks.
The police dragnet which was hauled
in last night had as great a variety
of disorderlies in it as has been seen
at the police station for a long time
There were 20 of them in all. Magis-
trate Smith found each and every one
of them guilty and they had to add
their little mite to the treasury of the
city before they were allowed to escape
from the clutches of the law. The
fines were small, most of them being
So and costs and the remainder 81 and
costs. In several cases the prisoners
did not have enough to pay both fine
and costs so they were let off with a
payment Of the costs.
Yesterday a dozen buns and hoboes
of all descriptions were escorted from
the city by several of the police Off
GERS and were given orders to remain
away from Rock Island in the future.
They were the suspects who were
hauled in as result OF the escape Of
the third member of the party which
attempted a burglary of the Schroeder
meat market and which resulted in
two men being arrested and held I'M
der $1,000 bonds to the grand jury.
