NOTE AGAIN IN
SHERIFF'S HANDS
Henry I. Nowlan, Henry Coun-
ty Attorney, Surrenders
Paper in Chicago.
UNDER THREAT OF ARREST
KittiIsen and States Attorney Locate
the Holder of $500 Docu-
ment at His Hotel.

Chicago, July 16 Especially Under
a threat of arrest on a charge of lar
ceny, Henry l. Nowlan, an attorney
of Toulon, Henry county, today sur
rendered to Sheriff Edward Kittilsen
and States Attorney L. NJ. Magill of
Rock Island a note for $500 that
he had secured from a deputy in the
therefore an adequate receipt.
Kittilsen and Magill reached here
this morning, having been informed
at Toulon that Nowlan was here on
business. They located him at his
hotel. Nowlan at first refused to
give up the note, claiming that he
represented parties holding death
claims against the Fraternal TTi-
Dunes, TO which society the note had
been executed by Dr. A L. Craig,
but when he was informed that he
would be prosecuted for larceny if
he did not return the paper he sub
mitted to the demand of the county
officers.
NOwInn Sues Attachment.
The note originally was held by
supreme tribune of the Fraternal
Tribunes following dissolution of the
merger with the American Home Cir
Gle Nowlan attached the note. and
the attachment was served by the
Rock Island sheriff. The latter gave
a sufficient receipt for the same to
Mcbride. A deputy in the sheriff's
office surrendered the note to Now
Ian without exacting a sufficient re-
ceipt. The note will probably be re-
turned to Mcbride that he may ne
gotiate it and share the proceeds
among those holding claims against
the defunct order. The note was
given by DR.. A. l.. Craig in part set
tlement when he returned to Nc
Bride the $4,000 that he received
for resigning his Office with the Fra
ternal Tribunes.

Percentage of gain in county. %
An Associated Press dispatch re-
ceived by The Argus this afternoon
gives the population of Rock Island
county as shown by the census just
finished as 7O,4O4. Unoff1cially it is
learned the population of the city of
Rock Island is 1866 and of Moline
24,199. Coming after reports from
a number of other Illinois counties
had shown a gain of but a few hun
dred and in some instances an actual
loss, this showing is most gratifying.
Dispute Over Rock Island.
The Rock Island figures are unofi-
cially given, but from reliable informa-
ton. and are supposed to be about cor
rect. The delay in issuing the official
figures for Rock Island is due to a
dispute over the enumeration of Rock
Island arsenal, which is still unde-
cided. Ten years ago the arsenal was
included with Rock Island on the
ground that the postofice from which
all stationed at the arsenal receive
their mail is in Rock Island, and the
arsenal, geographically, is credited 10
IL 10 h.
sus was taken Census Supervisor Wal
lace, his assistant, Mr.. Schaarmann,
AMI the local committee made an eff
fort to again have the arsenal credited
10 Rock Island, and Postmaster H. A.
J. Mcdonald coOperated 10 this end
\ movement was started this afternoon
through Congressman Mckinney to
have the arsenal included in Rock Is
land as when other counts were made.
County Gain IS Per Cent.
As shown by the foregoing tabu-
lation the county of Rock Island has
gained about IS per cent in 10 years.
The cities of Rock Island and Moline
have gained at an even greater rate,
the latter the more rapidly than the for
mer, due to the anneXing of several
additions recently. Rock Islands
boundaries are the same as they have
been for many years.
May Establish New Offices.
The increase in population will en-
able Rock Island county to include
among it's elective offices that of pro-
bate judge, probate clerk and county
recorder. A county recorder may be
maintained by counties of $4,000 pop
ulation or more and a probate judge
and probate clerk by counties hav-
ing 10000 or more. Rock Island gets
we'll over the latter limit. A probate
judge would take over much of the
work the county judge does now and
the probate clerk would relieve the
county clerk of an important part of
his duties. The county recorder
would similarly assume a heavy por-
ton of the work in the Office of the
circuit clerk under the present sys-

HAT CLEW TO TRAIN ROBBERY
Leads to Arrest in Missouri of Four
Hold-Up Men.

/ A large sombrero, found by a re-
porter on the scene of the robbery Of
Missouri Pacific train near Glencoe,
Mo-, was the clew, followed by post
office inspectors for hundreds of miles,
which resulted in the arrest of four
men in Jail here, one of whom has
confessed
In his confession George Ebeling
said the hat was worn by himself and
that he had borrowed it from William
Lowe, one of the other men under ar
rest.
The hat contained the name of ST.
Louis manufacturer. The manufact-
urer stated to secret service opera
tives that he had sold the hat to a
Texas firm in January, 1909, and that
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas train
carrying it to it's destination was
robbed on Jan. 8 and the hat stolen.
The bandit, it was found when the
investigation was carried to Texas,
was arrested and the hat recovered
among the booty. The merchant to
whom it was consigned refused to ac-
cept it, and 1t was reShlpped to the
manufacturer.
The hat was then sold to a dealer
in Kansas. The detectives trailed it
down to Texas again, and, after fol
lowing the links of it's adventures,
learned that it had eventually come
into the possession of Lowe. The lat
ter's arrest followed.
The government will exercise it's
prerogative and prosecute all four
men. A sentence of hanging or fifty
years Imprisonment is possible for
each if convicted
A reward of $1,000 for each of the
men under arrest will be distributed
among the detectives who worked on
the case.

TAFT'S SPEECH IN NEW YORK
Remarks of the President Taken Diff
ferent Ways in Washington.

Administration Republicans found a
good deal of comfort in President
Taft's New York speech. AS an
"opener" for the congressional cam
paign they declared it to be timely
and effective. The NEAR insurgents"
also were pleased, but the real simon
pure insurgents seemed to be consid-
erably ruffled.
The latter regard the reiteration by
Mr.. Taft of his tariff sentiments as an
unnecessary reopening of an old sore
Senator Bristow openly expressed his
dissatisfaction with the speech Sen
ator La Toilette also was far from
being enthusiastic and it is safe to
assume that Senator Cummins of
Iowa, and Clapp of Minnesota, also
will find some grounds for complaint
AS matter of fact President Tafts
New York speech seems to have
widened the breach between him and
the revolving Republicans of the mid
die west.

RaisuIi, Moroccan Bandit, Sue
Cumbs in Peaceful Pursuits.
KIDNAPPED AMERICAN CITIZEN
"Perdicaris Alive or RaisuIi Dead"
Was UItimtum Purporting to
Have Emanated from the
State Department.

It is reported that Raisuli, governor
of Djebala province and former Moor
ish bandit chief, is dead as the result
of being poisoned.
Mulai Ahmed Ben Mohemmed er-
Raisuli was an ordinary farmer in his
early life, but several years ago took
to brigandage. He became the leader
of a band of experts in cattle stealing
and was a terror to caravans, from
which tribute was exacted.
Several years ago DR.. Walter e. Har-
ris, correspondent of a London news
paper and a friend of the Moroccan
sultan, was captured by the bandits
and held by Raisuli for ransom of
$4,000. Harris refused to pay it and
the sultan sent force of troops after
the bandits. but they escaped, and
Harris finally obtained his freedom
by paying the ransom after a headless
body had been thrown into his tent
Two years later Raisuli seized Ion
Perdicaris, native of New Jersey,
which was the occasion of the dispatch
of United States squadron to the
Moroccan coast and the alleged ultl-
matum purporting to have emanated
from the state department: 'Perdi-
carts alive or Raisuli dead"
This caused great enthusiasm at the
Republican national convention in Chi
cago which nominated Mr.. Roosevelt
for president. The bandit, however,
eventually obtained the ransom de-
handed
Raisuli's next exploit was to cap
ture an Englishman, Kaid Sir Harry
MacLean, the adviser of the sultan.
Mclean was held for seven months
and finally released on the promise of
the payment of 100000.
Raisuli was appointed governor of
the province of Djebala year ago,
and at that time promised to renounce
the ransom paid on behalf of Mac
Lean.

SNOWSTORM HITS THE EAST
Streets in Pittsburg Covered Seven
teen Inches Deep.

Through snow seventeen inches
deep, busy Pittsburg sought its mills,
mines and manufactures, hardly
>twenty-four hours after the traces of
the last snowfall of the winter had dis
appeared.
A fifteen-hour storm crippled trolley
lines throughout this section of the
country, delayed all through and sub
urban traffic of the railroads and made
even the city streets well-nigh impass-
able
From almost every community in
western Pennsylvania, West Virginia
and eastern Ohio reports of suspended
traffic and snow-blocked highways
came in.
Throughout the night the Pittsburg
Railways company struggled to keep
their lines open, but shortly after mid
night many of the suburban lines were
abandoned. and all attention was CIV
en- to clearing the streets in the city.

Corrections Have To Be Made
in Record of Testimony.
COMMITTEE RESUMES INQUIRY
Counsel on Both Sides in Attendance
--EIderIy Women Comprise the
Majority of Spectators at
the Hearing.

The BALM er-Pinchot inquiry III
Washington was resumed and Louis
r. CLAWS, the principal accuser
of Secretary Ballinger, again took the
stand, prepared for grilling cross
examination by attorneys representing
officials of the interior department.
James J. Vertrees of Tennessee APP
peared as the Ballinger attorney. H.
M. Hoyt, Encouragement of Porto
Rico, will be a witness.
The committee room in which the
hearing is being held was crowded.
The majority of the spectators as
usual were elderly women. The open
sitting of the committee was preceded
by an executive session Of half an
hour.
Attorneys Brandeis and Cotton, rep
resenting CLAWS and occupying the POI
sition of prosecutors, were opposed by
Attorneys Vertrees and Rasch, repre-
senting Mr. Ballinger and others of the
interior department
When CLAWS was recalled to the
stand Mr.. Brandeis announced there
were some corrections to be made iii
the record of the witness testimony.
Chairman Nelson suggested these be
put in later, but Mr. Vertrees objected,
saying he did not wish in the midst of
his cross. examination to be met by the
statement that it was a mistake.
CLAWS thereupon proceeded to make
the corrections, most of the mistakes,
it appeared, having been due to his
drawl and lisp. His IRIS" are always
pronounced Wv" so that in one place
in the record of which his testimony
read, there is a parchment reef"
CLAWS declared he said, there is ap-
proximately," etc. Many of the cor
rections had to do merely with typo
graphical errors.
After the errors were corrected the
cross-examination of CLAWS was re-
sumed by Attorney Vertrees. He said
that facts convinced him that the land
department was not IN safe hands,
that the peoples interests were not
being protected in the Alaska cases.

not protecting the peoples interests? ?"
