$4,000 FOR THE
SCHOOLS OF CITY
Annual Tax Levy Is Fixed by
the Rock Island Board of
Education.
SALARIES MAY BE RAISED
This Is Contingent on Approval of
Amount of Revenue Anticipated
for the New Year.

The Rock Island board of education
held an adjourned session at the high
school last night and the financial
problem was discussed and practically
settled. A levy of $4,000 for educa-
tiOnal purposes was made upon the
community and one of 100000 for
building purposes. This levy will go to
the county clerks office, where il wi ]
be determined if 1t is within the IL
per cent of assessed valuation as is re-
quired by the law. 1t was also decided
to issue bonds to the extent of $37, 900
to cover payment of the contract price
on the new Grant school, which is I'M
der course of construction, and which
is expected to be ready for occupancy
soon after the fall term of school
opens. The contract price was $4O,-
600 and a small part of this has already
been paid.
Fix Treasurer's Bonds.
The board fixed the bonds of Treas
urer Carl Hellpenstell at $150,00O, the
same as they were last year. On adj
vice of a number of dealers in coal and
other fuel it was decided to receive
bids on fuel for the schools this winter
at much later date than is custom
airy. This is on account of the unset
tied conditions at the mines where the
operators and the miners are at var
lance. The bids are to be in by Sept.
Is. at which time they will be opened
and the contract let.
The contract for laying a concrete
platform at the Eugene Field school
was awarded to Robert r. Atkinson,
whose bid was II cents square foot.
There was one other bidder for the
job, Gus Fisher. The platform is at
the playground entrance to the school,
where the pupils form in line before

Although the board as a whole takes
care of all large repair jobs at the diff
ferent schools as well as all building
improvements, it has been customary
to have one of the members in authori-
ty at each of the buildings to sanction
minor repairs, such as replacing bro
ken window panes or the like. Accord
ingly subcommittee were named last
night to have this duty. Mr.. HUI will
take care of the Hawthorne and Grant
schools; Mr.. Cleaveland the Kemble,
Lincoln and high schools; Mr. Ander-

Superintendent H. B. Hayden read a
letter from the principal elect, A j.
Burton, in which the latter thanked
the board for favOring his application
and accepted the appointment as prin-
cipal of the high school.
The question of an increase in sal
aries for the teachers came up before
the board, but no action was taken. 1t

ever, that if the new tax levies were

BEST ASSET OF TRIBUNES
Devoted to the Order and Was Used
to Promote Scheme of the
Wreckers.

Aledo- ILL.,, July 14-Ed1tor OF
The Argus: am pleased to read
your editorial, Robert Rexdale,
Honest Man" Is is a fine analysis
of the man from a friend and ap-
preciated by all other friends who
know him in like manner. 1 have
known him intimately for II years
in the fraternal world. He was new
er known to miSrepresent or miSlead
in any statement of any kind. He
was enthusiastic because he believed
in his work. Wherever he was sta
toned for the time in his field work
he grew in favor and made fast per-
sonal friends and yet he affected no
patronizing manner. He gave in de-
votion to causes and friends much
more than he would receive and was
the happier for it.
Saw Only Part of Panorama
When they all went up into the
high mountain only a fraction of the
panorama was shown him and then
he was dismissed. No change in sal
airy but more agreeable duties were
to be his. The acquisition of 5000
members to the order he loved and
was most responsibility for its growth,
fetal positions, was a very desirable
thing. The certification of the
high standing of the Springfield
crowd and the knowledge he thought
he possessed of his own associates,
made him unsuspicious of deceit. He
just at that time was a real Neo-
phyte. ION the square" to him
meant ION the square," Whatever
may be the outcome of the court
proceedings, in a fraternal line JUS
tice can only be appeased when every
badge they flaunt so consciously
representing fraternity is authori-
lively stripped from the bunch that
so disgraced their professions.
Orders Best Asset
A year ago when the so-called
merger was off and in part new Of
ficials were chosen by the Tribunes, |
all united in saying that Rexdale |
was the orders best asset and it was
believed that a rebuilding could be |
done mainly on him.
1t was very late in the fall before |
the real truth was discovered, be- |
fore the lost thing was located, it's |
finding being delayed because some |
people were on the search, but then |
the real coughing up process begun
under the prodding Of the supreme
tribune and supreme secretary and |
as The Argus says so we'll, Mr.. Rex
dale never faltered in his duty and
had the January grand jury had the
case the story would have been told.
Insisted ON investigation.
He was asked to persuade one
whom they knew to be on the most
intimate terms with him to drop de-
mand for the present investigation.
He didn't do 1t. Nothing can be
added to The Argus analysis of Rex
dale's actions or personality. He is
an honest man in thought, word and
deed.

transaction by the gang of conspir-
atOrS to get easy but tainted money

HOOPER LEADS
 IN TENNESSEE

Nashville, November S.-Sunmed up, the result of today's election appears to be B. w. Hooper, republican and fusion lst. governor by 15.o0o to 1s,oOo majority; B. A Enloe, democrat and fusionist, by a like majority, and possible small fu- sion majority in the legislature. Both sides claim ths senate, but where the fusionists have lost in some districts they have gained in others. The same applies to the democrats, so from present indica- tions there is little change in the com plexion of the legislature.
 Most of the middle and west Tennessee democratic counties, nearly all of which went for the independent judicial ticket in August last, returns to the regular col umn today, but by such small majorities that they were overwhelmed by the heavy republican vote in east Tennessee coun- ties. Barring Knox, the counties In which are located the larger cities. all went heavily democratic.
 In the congressional races R. W. Aus tin, republican, appears to have defeated N. W. Hale, Independent republican; Sells, republican, defeated Cy H. Lyle. in the first; E. D. Massey, republican, was elect ed to fill out the unexpired term of W. P. Brownlow. In the other eight districts the democrats have won, although T. w. Sims, in the Eeighth, had hard fight with Murray, republican.
 The vote throughout the state was re- markedly heavy, except in a few coun- ties

HARMON REELECTED IN OHIO
 BY AN INCREASED PLURALITY

Cleveland, Harmon increased his plurality of two years ago to 12o09 votes accord ing to careful estimates In Hamilton county which includes Cincinnati, liar mons 1908 plurality of t5,936 will be con- siderably reduced, but reports say that he will retain a margin of 10,00e votes over Harding.
 The country districts, counted upon by the republicans to offset the expected Harmon vote in Cleveland, Toledo and Cincinnati. increased Har1non's plurality in democratic counties, and in many cases turn republican pfuralities into demo- cratic.
 Albert Douglas. republican congress- man from the Eleventh district, and James Joye, republican congressman from the Fifteenth, were defeated Late re- turns from Cleveland precincts showed Congressman James H. Cassidy, repub- lican. losing heavily in the Twenty-first district. and apparently defeated by R. J. Bulkeiey, democrat.
 The candidates on the state ticket be- low the governor are in doubt. In the majority of the republican counties liar mon ran far ahead of his ticket, and there is still chance for a repetition of the condition of two and four years ago when the republicans elected a majority of the state officers, while losing the gov ernorship. The possible, though certain election of a democratic majority on joint session of the legislature brings into prominence the names Of Atlee Pon- creme democratic candidate for lieuten- ant governor: Brand Whitock, mayor of Toledo, and Newton D. Baker, city so- licitor of Cleveland, as possible successors . to Senator Dick.

MEX|CANS ANGRY
 AT TEXAS LyNCH|NG

Mexico City, November s.--A crowd of men and boys, variously estimated at from 1O00 to 1900, made an anti-Amercan demonstration in the streets here tonight, prompted by news of the lynching of a Mexican, Antonio Rodriguez, at Rock Springs. Tex, on the night of Novem- Der 8.
 Since the publication of the news here Mexican newspaper, known to be strongly anti-Americsn, has printed edi- torials advocating that a demand be made upon the United States government for an explanation of the lynching
 The crowd gathered before the offices of the Mexican Herald. the leading Amer lean daily. and listened to denunciatory harangues by several speakers. Some of the more excitable members threw rocks and mud at the building, shatterng a window, but otherwise doing little harm.
 With the announced intention of going to the American embassy to demand sat isfaction, the crowd moved on. but before 1t had proceeded far 1t was met by a de- tachment of police and dispersed

Cleveland, O.. November s.-Judson Harmon. democrat, was reelected gover- nor of Ohio today by largely increased plurality, according to returns from about 50 precincts of the 452s in the state. Even the approximate figures were still in doubt, owing to a considerable switch in various districts of the state. Two years ago he was elected by 1s,372. In 15 pre- cincts Harmorv shcws, a gain of 14 votes to a precinct, partly overbalancing the republican gain of 30 to a precinct in Cincinnati. The complexion of the leg islature is still in doubt. but indications are that 1t wlil be close. The rural dis tricts are showing large democratic gains.
 Dflatory returns late tonight indicated that Gov. Judson Harmon has made a clean sweep of the state, defeating War ren G. Harding, republican, and his plurality will appreciate o0,000 votes. With him he has carried at least two and perhaps more democratic congressional candidates in districts that have hereto fore elected republicans. Ohio will send ct least 10 and possibly 12 democrats to Congress out of the 21 in the delegation instead of eight as at present
 Scattering returns show a heavy dem ocratic gain in the legislature and with out definite figures, democratic leaders are claiming a majority for their party in the next legislature which will elect successor to Charles Dick, the re- publican senior senator.

CHAIRMAN LLOYD
 MAKES STATEMENT

Chicago, November s.-James T. Lloyd, chairman of the democratic national con Gressional committee, issued the follow ing statement at 11:45:
 Present indications arc that Congress will be democratic by about 35 majority. Thus far the returns indicate that. our prediction estimates were. about correct.
 "The causes which have led to the re- suits of today's election are well known. It is a serious rebuke to the republican party for it's failure to reduce the ta-f, as the people believe the party had prom ised
 ''1'he high cost of protected manufac- tIred articles which has resulted .n greatly increased cost of living has had very much to do with producing this re- suit. There is general dissatisfaction with existing political conditions and with the preesnt republican adminisi ration. This has led to it's repudiation as far aa could be done at the polls. The demo- cratic party has won victory becauss the only hope of the people is in it's su- premacy.
 The republican party has shown by it's course that 1t will not enact legislation in the interest of the masses where such legislation would be to the detriment of the classes"

ST|MSON TELLS
 WHY HE LOST

New York, November s.-Henry L. Stim- son attributes his defeat to cause nation- wide and general movement of the re- publican party toward progressiveism
 "There seemed to be ground swell all over the country" he said tonight ..and was caught in 1t. think it's only the beginning We're beginning to have realignment of political parties and the republican party is going through the agony of becoming progressive. The re- turns speak for themselves. I have noth- ing to regret We've had a good, clean fight was surprised that I ran so we'll up with the. rest of the ticket''
 MT. stimson first conceded his defeat at 8 o'clock An hour and a half later he sent a telegram to John A. Dix con- gra tuiating him on his election.
 The republican candidate received re- turns at his personal campaign headauar- ters in the Manhattan hotel. With him were his wife, his father, Lewis A. Stim- son, and a party of relatives and friends.

DEMOCRATIC GAINS
 IN PENNSYLVANIA

Philadelphia, November s.-Estimates from all but. five of the 67 counties in Pennsylvana indicate that John K. Tener, republican, carried the state by about 25,ooo plurality over William H.. Berry, the Keystone party candidate. Webster Grim. regular democratic can didate. ran far behind
 Tener needed Philadelphia to win, the city giving him a plurality of 45.254 Al legheny county which includes Pitts burg, gave Tener an estimated plurality of 15,000.
 The democrats gained two congressmen with three close districts to hear from.
 The democrats and independents made slight gains in the legislature. One of the notable victories of the democrats was the capturing of the Fifth congress sional district in Philadelphia. which two years ago gave W. W. Foukrod ma jority of 13,26S.
 The socialists elected their first member of the legislature.
