moned as witnesses, particularly those
against whom formal charges Of brib-
cry and conspiracy have been made.

ecutive, to map out the program of
the hearing, which will be public when
the witnesses are examined. The ses-
sions are expected to continue for a
fortnight.

Child KILLED BY
FALLING DERRICK
Chester Mcmahon, Aged z, Mo
line, Meets Death While
at Play.
is STRUCK ON THE HEAD
Skull Crushed by 5O-Pound Weight
Little Folks Had Been
Warned of Danger.

Chester Mcmahon, 7-year-old son
of ]. E Mcmahon, junior member of
the grocery firm of Peters & McMa-
hon, 400 Seventh street, Moline, was
almost instantly killed Sunday even
ing shortly after while playing
with young friends on Fourth ave-
nue., near Seventh street.
The lad met his end when a der
rick on the roof of the new F. @.
Johnson building gave way and fell
on his head At the time five boys
were playing in the neighborhood
of the Johnson building, which is
still under course of construction.
At various times during the af-
ternoon these boys had found much
sport in hanging onto the rope from
a pulley attached to the derrick in
question. The derrick was installed
by the Lewis Roofing company and
used by it as a means of hoisting
buckets of tar to the top of the
structure.
Boys Warned.
Herbert Hintz, son of Charles F.
Hintz, 354 Seventh street, whose
property adjoins that of Johnson, no
ticed the children hanging from the
rope and, fearing some accident,
tied the rope to a timber above the
boys reach. Somehow or other the
lads managed to get a hold on the
rope anyhow, and with the sad re-
suit stated above.
Helge Jennisch. aged IL, Adolph
Pearson, aged IL, and Chester Nc
Mahon were the three lads on the
rope when the derrick gave way.
The Johnson and Pearson lads ran
into the building when the crash
came, but Chester Mcmahon ran in
the other direction. He had gone
barely three feet before the So
pound derrick struck him on the
head.
An Only Child.
Chester Edward Mcmahon was
born Dec. 8, 1902. This season he
was a member of the second grade
class in st. Mary's parochial school.
Burial will be made at Ottawa, H.,
the funeral to be held tomorrow af-
ternoon from the home of the
grandfather in that city. Shipment
will be made this evening over the
Rock Island. Chester was Mr.. and
Mrs McMahon's only child. There
was an inquest this afternoon.

But a few years ago, MT. Edison an- Elounced that he would soon produce an electric storage battery of light weight. which would run an electric automobile 800 or more miles without recharsing. AUtombilists have since awaited it's coming with great interest, for such a machine as he promised would revolutionize the automobile in dustry. It has not yet arrived but MT. Edison has perfected storage battery for trolley cars, which prom ises to do way with cable and overhead wire systems and to thus reduce very materially the cost of trolley opera ton. A test was made on Thursday at west Orange N. J.. and is said to have been success in every particular but the system is yet to be tested on long dis tances. The test car carries 30 pas sengers and is only One-half the weight of an ordinary car of the same size. Its storage battery of 210 cells is placed under the seats and the cost of driving is estimated at one cent a mile. Automobilists are anxiously awaiting it's application to autos, which is promised by MT. Edison. But if it should be limited to trolley traf- fics it will be a great advance, by reas- on of the elimination of poles and wires.
