4 KEY NOTE Of ALARM.
President Taft Attempts to stay the
Tide of Distrust Before
Large Audience.

pre.;dent Taft yesterday read to an
guidance of Is, 900 people at the public
square in Waterloo, Iowa, carefully
nreoared speech, sounding keynote
of charity, federation, and kindness,
whose object is clearly outlined IN the
Presidents peroration.
Business is hating now, he said.
'Tbere is doubt and distrust among
investors, due to fear of blind enmity
toward successful enterprise. What is
the remedy? 1t is the restoration OF
confidence between the classes OF per-
sons who have been opposing each
other in times past, who now. after the
reforms are initiated and are in prog
ress OF being effected, ought to come
together in amity and make the best
use OF the enormous resources We have
lin this country for the promotion OF
general prosperity and the securing
and encouragement OF individual hap
piness."
Among other things the President
said:
LET us put our shoulders together
10 a movement to promote the bust
ness prosperity of the country by
frowning down those attacks that are
engendered not by real desire TO
eliminate abuses, but by wish to
arouse in the people an unjust
prejudice and take away from them
their clear perception as to their real
interest in encouraging the investment
of capital, in commencing its thrifty,
wise, and lawful use to secure goou
and reasonable profit, and to enjoy the
widespread influence Of the prosperity
that business thus encouraged is bound
to shower upon the people at large
Let us reason together. Let us be
charitable and kind. Let lis not be 50
suspicious and ascribe corrupt motives
to every one in the community put
our particular friends and political
associates. Let us do team work ID
the community. Let us have leglsla'
ton that helps, or an absence OF legs
Iation If il be unnecessary. And let us
approve and praise the great business
enterprise and genius that honestly and
by proper methods accumulates prop
ertv and puts it into productive indus
tries. supports the thousands OF work
men, and furnishes profit to those
whose savings have gone into the shares
and bonds OF the enterprise. "

DEATH0F OLD RESIDENT
George II. Harlow, a Retired Mer-
sss. chant, Dies After a Short
Illness.

Tue many friends and acquaintance
of George r.. Harlow we're shocked and
grieved when they learned at an early
hour last night that that well-known
and popular citizen had died at his resi-.
dence on Prince street, between Royal
and Pitt.
The deceased had been in feeble
health for some time, but none OF his
acquaintance had supposed bis condi.
ton was so serious as to render bis
death imminent. He attended the
exercises incident to the presentation
OF the battle flag to r. E. Lee Camp,
Confederate Veterans, last Monday
night, and was on the streets yesterday,
de became i'll towards the close Of the
day and bis condition soon became
alarming aud shortly after nine o'clock
death overlook him. The deceased was
about 70 years old. Besides his widow
he leaves two children-Leo P. Har-
low and Mrs. Sallie Agnes Weller,
whose marriage to Francis r. Weller,
OF Washington, took place last Thurs
day 10 st. Mary's Church. The young
couple are now on their honeymoon
trip. The deceased leaves two brothers
: Messrs. John and NJ. B. Harlow; also
two sisters-Mrs. Philip Roche and
Miss Mary Harlow, both of Washing
ton.
Mr.. Harlow was native of Ireland,
but he came to this city when a child.
In early manhood he with bis brother
John, engaged in business at the north
west corner OF Cameron and Royal
streets, conducting the same up to a
few years ago. The deceased was 3
member OF Kemper's Battery, Confed-
crate States army, during the war be-
tween the states. He was we'll and fav-
orably known throughout the comnun-
ity, and his many friends and acquaint-
ances sincerely sympathize with his
stricken family in their sorrow.

KILLED BIZ JEALOUS sUIToR.

With his wedding license in his
pocket and his fiancee by his side,
Henry Morse was shot dead in the
street in Rockingham, n. c., last night
by Clyde Childers, an unsuccessful
sutton for the girls hand. Childers
then turned the weapon upon himself
and is now lying seriously, perhaps
MORALLY, wounded in the city jail.
The principals are all residents OF
Rockingham. Morse had long been a
sutton of pretty 20-year-old Beulah
Stone, and recently she accepted him.
Childers, who came to the county only
short time ago, was also attracted by
Miss Stone and pressed his suit with
yigor.
Miss Stone began to waver and Morse
beca me afraid that he might be Tilted.
He had persuaded the girl to marry him
last night, however, and preparations
had been made accordingly. Morse OBJ
tanned his license and started for the
Stone residence in buggy.
Childers had already been there,
urging the girl to change her mind.
Upon his urgent request, she finally
consented to 60 as far as the drug store
to get glass OF soda water and talk it
over.
In front Of T. F. Webb's store, in
Main street, they we're oyertaken by
Morse in buggy. Morse alighted and
attempted to take the girl away from
Childers, @ho began to beg that they
have no fuss there, but 60 to her home.
Morse struck at Childers over Miss
Stones shoulder, and Childers, without
further words, pulled his pistol and be-
gan firing -.
The first shot struck Morse in the
pit OF the stomach, and as he staggered
off the sidewalk into the street, with his
hands over the wound. Childers fol-
lowed and fired two other shots into bis
sinking body. Childers then ran few
steps and turned the weapon upon his
own body. shooting himself first in the
left breast and again behind the ear.
His wounds NAV prove fatal.

RIDING A CAMEL.
a Strenuous Task That Premoteo a
Love of Walking.

a Strenuous Task That Promoted a
Love of Walking.
Riding a camel Is by no means an
easy or enjoyable method Of locomo-
ton, according to the description given
by Mr.. NJ. J. Randall In his book,
"Sinai In Spring."
IF asked How do you ride camelT
I reply invent as many attitudes as
you can and employ them all in turn;
adjust and readjust the rugs and cush-
ions on which you sit; ride straight;
ride crooked; ride with stirrups made
Of rope; ride without themA hitch first
your right knee round the front POM
mel, then your left knee; stretch your
self wide legged over the saddlebags
regardless of the firearms, dates.
crockery, etc., which they contain un-
I'll nature commands you to make a
less obtuse angle; ride side saddle, If
you can persuade your Bedouin that 1t
Is possible to do SO without prejudice
to the camel. Ride how you will and
when you will, but, above all-walk.
Not only is the sheik himself glad
at your suggestion, but not otherwise
to mount for awhile, but 1t is lesson
in graceful riding TO watch him
perched up there, heaven knows how,
In some oriental way you have never
dreamed of, and 1t is lesson In courte-
sy to mark how at every turn Of the
road he offers to forego his pipe OF
peace -chibouk-and post Of comfort
and descend to the sand, leaving you
to incumber his beast Of burden"

RAILWAY TELEGRAPHERS.
Southern Railway Operators VIII
strike II Their Demands are Re-
fused.

A break in the negotiations for in
creased wages for telegraph operators
employed on the Southern Railway
came in Washington yesterday, when
the officials OF the operators union re-
fused to discuss the question further
with George W. Taylor, general super
;ntendent OF transportation Of the rail
way. The conference had been on for
nearly month.
Mr.. Taylor failed, the telegraphers
assert, to show any disposition to agree
to any OF the propositions they made.
The whole proposition will be taken to
E. Fl. Coapman, vice president and
general manager Of the railroad.
That the general committee, which
is empowered by the Order OF Railway
Telegraphers to call q general strike,
intends to bring the negotiations to
final determination quickly is evidenced
by the action yesterday. 1t was stated
at the telegraphers' headquarters in
Washington last night that unless Mr..
Coapman favorably acts on their de-
lnands general strike will follow.

NOTES OF THE GAME

Olson has taken a slump in fielding
lately. allowing runners to go extra
bases while he is juggling the ball.
Daily oficiated on the bases yester-
day. He was scheduled to go to De-
catur, but did not receive the assign
ment till noon, too late to fill the bill
Rather than put in an of day he helped
out across the creek
Lund's catch of Wooley's hard drive
in the third inning saved the day for
Nelson, for had he not held 1t there
Lund made a mighty hard run for 1t
and then picked 1t of the top of the
grass. He fell. but still held to the
sphere. 1t was such fielding as that
that saved Yokohama
Ficken raped out two bingles in
two times at bat. Had he been given
better support he might have finished
zels during his session on the slab.
They were out in one, two three order
in the first two innings and then in the
next came one hit and several hobbies.
Chapman and Lund pulled OF a
clever double steal in the eighth. Lund
had Just stolen second and Chapman
was on third when they got the signal
to move. Chapman crossed the plate
while Jake was looking around for the
ball which he muffed. Lund was safe
al third The Prods were the pilfer-
ing kids with seven steals to their
credit The Islanders had none.

News that Paul Davidson. heavy hit
ting outfielder, had returned to the
folds this morning after q sojourn In
Seattle, Wash, brought cheer to 10
cal baseball fAndom. Last fall when
Jack Tighe went to the Seattle club,
he took Davidson with him with the
understanding that as part of the con-
tract, he would turn over to the Rock
Island club, two frst-class players
from the coast In exchange. The Seat
tie club, however. failed to keep this
part of the agreement and the Island
management complained to Secretary
J. H. Farrell Of the national associa-
ton. The latter notified the Seattle
club that Davidson was not to be Used
by 1t until the agreement was fulfilled.
and on failure to comply with terms OF
contract turned Davidson back to
Rock Island
"Davy'' comes at time when he is
much needed and says he is glad 10
get back. Last year he batteG SOP
and finished second In fielding aver
age. AS soon as he has time to rest
up from his long ride, he will don an
Island uniform and again WELD the
willow as of old, and his batting will
greatly bolster up the offensive play
ing of the team.

Another bump was handed Rock Is
land on the Prodigal lot across the
river yesterday afternoon. 1t was 1G
to o when the Anal man was out and
ii sure was enough for the day. The
one redeeming feature was the error
less game which the Davenporters
played. Their hitting, too, was pretty
good. but had 1t not been for the SIX
Islanders errors and the free passes
issued by O'ConneH IN the short while
that he was on the mound, the score
would have been greatly lessened. On
ly one of the runs made was the result
OF hits. The others were aided along
by passes and errors. O'Connell start
ed out for Rock ISLAND, but after four
uns had tailed with two men dow Il,
Ficken was substituted He sailed
merrily along for three innings and
held the Prods down TO one run in that
time. Then in his fourth lining, three
hits were swatted of of him and aid
ed by an error, two runs came across
the -ubber. Errorless support would
have helped him, but 1t was not in the
Islanders. Ficken retired IN favor
Of Van Y and Van was a little steadi-
er than his predecessors. He allowed
but one hit in this three innings, 5u:
that one aided by errors, resulted in
three runs.
FAST FIELDING SAVES NELSON.
Fo- Rock Island, hits were made or
Yokahoma Nelson in the third, fourth
and fifth. 4 pair was secured in each
round and but for fast fielding runs
would have counted. AS it was, not an
Islander passed the second sack ex
cept in the third, when Ficken reach
ed third on two hits and a walk.
Ohland, first man up for the Prods,
walked in the opening inning and
Koepping neatly sacrificed him to sec

Snyder muffed Chapmans grounder

Lund walked, filling the bags. O'Leary
lived on a feIder's ckoice, forcing
Bromwich at the plate. Goodwin walk
ed, forcing a run and then Lund and
O'Leary scored on Coleman's two
sack drive to left. Ficken was then
sent TO the mound and he retired Mel

first. In the next inning, after two
were out, Bromwich tripled TO right
and scored on Chapman's hit for
base In the same direction. Lund sBied
to right Until the fifth inning all was
quiet. Then Lund, first man up, baaI
out a bunt and went to second on
O'Leary's hit to center. Olsen let it go
