AS far as could be learned today the
timers and plumbers. who were I'M
able to agree Thursday as to who
should have charge of making certain
hot water connections on a combina-
ton heating Job using hot air and hot
water, are no nearer together today on
the question of rights than they were
when the union carpenters, painters.
and electricians were called out on the
Scheeler building, pending settlement
Of the differences.
The timers still claim they were
strictly within their rights when they
claimed they We're entitled to the work
of doing the connecting in a combina-
ton Job, and the plumbers are just as
confident that the connections should
be made by plumbers and steamfitters.
A meeting will be held tonight by
the Building and Trades Council Of the
city. when a general discussion of the
rights will be taken up. with the hope
that a satisfactory adjustment may be
made.

what he had done. When Hamilton
reached the water, he threw his feet
forward and aHghted on his back In
the water. He was picked up by
some men in q boat. There is a

peated.
WINS TWO MILE RACES.
Previous TO the feat at the chutes,
Champ Hamilton won g pair OF mile
races at the roller rink. The first
was against three local skaters
French, Aldrich and slater-who
worked IN relay. For q while Ham
ilton kept even with his first oppon-
nent, but toward the middle OF the
race, he forged steadily ahead and
won easily. The next event was
much more exciting. Ralph Hitch
cock OF Davenport, riding an Indian
motorcycle, attempted to win a mile
event from the skater The roller
rink at the Tower is rather small and
it takes l 5 laps to complete a mile.
This necessitated many sharp turns
and Hitchcock was greatly handicap
ped. However, he managed to keep
abreast of Hamilton for the greater
part OF the race, but on the last few
laps, Hamilton spurted ahead and
won. The time was $50. Hitch
cock made the distance in 2:52.

TRAINMAN SIGHTS
A FLOATING CORPSE
Efforts of Davenport Officers TO Find
the Body Prove
Futile

The body of a foater was seen
passing in the river Saturday after
noon about 3 o'clock by a member
Of the crew Of a Milwaukee railroad
train, who notified the Davenport po-
lice. A search OF the river was made
but the body could not be seen.
Two officers with a member of the
Davenport Boat club secured
launch and for the larger part of
the afternoon a search was kept up.
Nothing that resem bled a body was
found, although the trainman was
sure he had seen the body of a man
floating down the river. No reports
from up river towns have been re-
ceived concerning any drownings.
