IN BOMBAY, INDIA
Apoplectic Attack Carries Mo

Travelling With Family.
HE HAD NOT BEEN AILING
Only Few Days Ago Friends Had a
Message from Him Recounting
Joys of Trip.

John W. Good, vice president Of
Deere & Mansur company, Moline
dropped dead of an apoplectic attack
in Bombay, India, yesterday. He was
on q tour around the world with his
wife and son Harry and Miss Lola
Hayes. The announcement of the
death was contained in a cablegram
received this morning by Mr.. and Mrs
c. P. Comegys of this city. Mrs. Com
eggs is a sister of deceased
The news was a shock to relatives
and friends, as it had been only few
days since letters and postcards had
come from Mr.. Good and the members
of his family, all of whom apparently
were enjoying their trip and were in
good health, and quite recently a pho
tograph of Mr.. Good taken in Japan
was received by Rock Island relatives.
The only suggestion of i'll health was
that Mr.. Good had been suffering
somewhat from the heat.
7,7O0-MiIe Journey Home.
The body will be brought back to
Moline. William Butterworth of Mo-
line wired the state department at
Washington today asking that the
United States consul at Bombay be
asked to render what assistance he
could to Mrs. Good in the shipment of
the body. 1t is expected that a month
will be consumed in the 7,7O0-miIe
journey. From Bombay to New York
it is 500 miles. and from New York
to Moline it is 1000 miles
Francisco Feb. ;, going with one of

John w. Good was born in Cincin-
natl, Ohio, April 1, 1853 He came to
Moline with his parents in 1866. His
father, Captain John Good. acquired
an interest in the Moline Pillow COM
pany.
Begins Business Career in 1872.
In 1872 the son John entered the
employ of the company and continued
with it until 1882, in which year his
father disposed of his holdings. IN
hat year the son became treasurer of
the Deere & Mansur company In
1898. upon the death of Alvah Man
sur, Mr.. Good was made vice president
Of the company. and remained in that

backed by the millions of the Weyer-
haeuser and Denkmann families, with
such men as S. S. Davis, T. B. Davis,
F. c. Denkmann and j. F. Lardner at
the directing helm. With ample capt.
tai at their command, and surrounded
in the various departments of the in
dustry by the best brains in implement
manufacture and sale, they are not
the type of men who will be satisfied
short of first position in the world in
the line in which they are engaged.
When The change in the control of
the pillow company was announced. il
was not long afterward that the Off
GERS began plans of development.
These were accompanied by the state
ment that the company could not do
business on the scale contemplated
without additional ground accommoda-
tons
Adjacent Property Secured.
Options were taken on adjacent pri-
vate property, with the understanding
thai these would be closed in the event
the city council surrendered to the
company the intersecting public thor
oughfares in order to give continuity
to proposed buildings and prevent the
annoyance of public traffic through
the contemplated plant. There were
delays caused by the desire of tne
Rock Island Southern promoters to Sc
cure a right-of-way through property
that the pillow company sought in con-
nection with its expansion. When the
council finally made it plain to the
Washes that they would not be per
mitted to embarrass the pillow company,
the latter withdrew the route, and
then there was the Second avenue
tracks of the Tri-City Railway COM
pany standing as an obstacle. The
pillow company was obliged to stand
back and wait until the railway fran
chise extension ordinance was passed
by the council, as it carried with it
the removal of the tracks from Fifth
to Seventh streets on Second avenue
and on Fifth street, Second to Third.
Now that the railway ordinance has
been passed, and the pillow company
has its street vacation grant. all OBJ
have disappeared.
Wanted by other Cities.
1t might be of interest to say in
passing that many cities, knowing of
the situation the pillow company was
placed in, came forward with most
inducements to remove the
plant from Rock Island, and some Of
them were considered. although the
officers of the company did not wish
to leave a city in which the majority
of them were interested through fam
lily and social and business ties con-
tinuing over a long period of years.
and they withheld their decision until
every means of keeping the plant in
their home city was exhausted.

KANSAS CITY, Jan. 6.-Eighteen
below zero was recorded unoff1cially
In Kansas today, the lowest tempera.
ture in this part of the southwest in IL
years. The intense cold wave covered
Missouri and reached towns in Okla
homa, Arkansas and Texas.
Railroads are still demoralized. A
shortage of natural gas caused much
discomfort to thous ands of families in
western Missouri and in eastern and
central Kansas, who depend almost
solely upon gas for fuel, and on the
plains of western Kansas unprotected
cattle were reported dying by the
hundreds.

Republican Insurgents Are Alarmed.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Sit is said
that the republican insurgent MEM
bers of the house will call q meeting
at an early date to give earnest con-
sideration to the situation arising
from the announcement that the ad.
ministr alton would no longer counte-
nance "insurging" in congress and
would withhold patronage from the
recalcitrant members.
Most of the radical insurgent lead.
ers on the house side feel that with
the elections but . few months distant,
it is q life and death struggle with
them and consequently when forced in.
to the fray have no hesitation about
carrying the war to any extent. The
effort to defeat insurgent congressman
by starting q fight against them in
their home districts, as reported yes
terday, and already begun in several
districts OF the west has hit hard and
the congressman 80 attacked will
probably make no choice of weapons
in defending themselves.

To Investigate Cost Of Living.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Three i'm
portant developments today marked
the inquiries started with view to
ascertaining the responsibility for the
increased cost of living.
Senator Elkins of West Virginia,
and Crawford of South Dakota, in
troduced resolutions providing for a
congressional investig alton. The war
department announced to congress
that there was deficiency of 1885,
635 for the subsistence of the army in
the present year mainly because of the
enhanced cost of food, and Secretary
Wilson declares be would cease in-
vestigat if congress interfered.
Senator Elkins' resolution calls for
ian exhaustive Investigation" into
the matter by committee of five sen.
ators, while Sen ator Crawford calls
upon the secretary of commerce and
labor for figures showing the in
creases in wholesa ale and retail prices
in the last decade and causes for such
increases.

Want Census Enumerators.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. - Census
Director Durand stated today that as
q result of his conference with the su-
pervisors of census throughout the
country he finds that in many sections,
especially in the large cities. there
have not as yet been sufficient appli-
cations for the positions of enumera-
tors. 1t looks, he thinks, as If the
country was so prosperous that people
are not 60 anxious to gett hese respon-
sible places as had been expected.
The scarcity is giving the director
some concern, as only q few weeks
remain before the date of closing the
consideration of applications. 1t will
be impossible generally to extend the
application time limit, and to examine
the "test" papers with the necess ary
care to insure the designation of
qualified persons, will consume every
moment of the time allowed for this
phase of the work of selecting the
enumerators, leaving nothing for an
extension of the date for shutting
down on applications.

Extravaganza In White House.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. - Had the
presidents daughter and son, Miss
Helen and Robert Taft, remained in
the house gallery a few minutes longer
today they would have heard their
father roundly criticised by Represen.
tative Adair of Indiana, for the al.
legged extravaganza Of the executive
department. Mr.. Adair said the presi-
dents salary should not have been
increased to S75, 1000 year, adding
that a president, with practically no
expense, who could not save from an
income of $50, 900 q year sufficient
sum to live in ease the, balance of his
life, in my judgment, does not have
sufficient business capacity to direct
the affairs of this great nation"
Attacking the presidents allowance
of S35, 900 for vehicles, stables, etc.,
Mr.. Adair argued that this was $50, 900
too much. He also asserted that one
third of the $4,000 allowance for care
of the white house greenhouse "would
furnish the president with all the
flowers he can possibly use,"
Without depriving the president of
any of the comforts or luxuries that
properly belong to the white house,
Mr.. Adair said the appropriations for
the executive department, 1929, 420 last
year, could be reduced at least S75, 900
year.
