OLD FRIENDS GIVE
COL. CODY OVATION
Old Scout, on Announced Farewell
Plays to Capacity Audiences
I'm Moline.

William F. Cody (Bufalo BID
this season, announced as his public
farewell, is the center Of the great
est attraction with which he has been
identified during his years as star
of wild west performances. He has
come for a two-day visit in the tr1-
cities, a locality to which he holds
an affectionate attachment, inasmuch
as eLClaire, on the Iowa side OF the
river, was his birthplace, and here
abouts there are still living many OF
the friends of his youth. At the two
performances in Moline yesterday
there was accorded an ovation that
must have brought joy to his heart.
A show such as Cody is furnishing,
particularly the wild west feature,
inevitably soon must pass into his
tory and so he is doing an important
educational work as well as affording
an entertainment that is unsurpassed
in its uniqueness. The exhibition is
in Davenport today, with the closing
performance tonight.

CLAIMS He WILL
USE CEMETERY
Enos James of Milan Says Ac-
ton of Supervisors Was
Illegal.
CANNOT CLOSE DIXON LOT
Insists That Records Show Board
Has No Jurisdiction Over
Place in Sears.

Believing that he still has the right
io use the Dixon burial plot in Sears
township, Enos James OF Milan has
conducted an investigation In regard TO
the matter, and claims to have learned
that neither the board Of supervisors
of Rock Island county nor the village
board of Sears has the right to close
the gates of the Dixon cemetery to the
people who have lots there. He says he
intends to take off the paddock which
has been placed on the gate TO secure
the cemetery against entrance by any
one. Five Of his relatives have been
buried in the cemetery, and until 1t
was closed this spring he took care OF
the lots himself He proposes to con-
tinue to do so despite the action OF the
Sears board and the supervisors.
Should occasion arise other relatives
will be buried alongside their kindred
dead, he says.
CLOSED THIS SPRING.
It will be remembered that last
spring a great deal Of trouble arose be-
cause of the fact that a certain local
undertaken had buried several bodies
at the expense of the county in the
county burying grounds and had failed
to place the bodies at a proper depth.
He exhumed the bodies when objec-
ton was raised and buried them at the
proper level. However, the incident
had aroused the residents in the vicin-
ity. and they at once took steps for the
abandonment Of the county cemetery.
The county board agreed to close the
pauper's cemetery and secure a sec
ton in Chippiannock cemetery for the
purpose.
SEARS FOLLOWS SUIT.
Pursuant to this action the Sears vii
lage board locked the gates of the
abandoned county plot and the Dixon
cemetery as well Since then Mr.
James has Investigated the county
records and has found that severa
decades ago William Dixon Of Milar
bequeathed to the people of the village
the ground which is now designated as
the Dixon cemetery. In 1898 Mr.. James
was given a lot in the cemetery by s

AN AWFUL RECORD.

In mining fatalities America leads the world.
 In the past twenty years the statis- ties show the number of fatalities have been 29,000, of which nearly half were clearly preventable.
 The American death rate is an aver age of 3.29 per 1000 employees, as against 1 35 in Austria, l 81 in France and PIP in Prussia. It is noteworthy that the risk increases with western progress, the rate in the east central section being ?. 8 per 1000 employees, in the western section GA and in the Pacific coast section 2.
 Negligence and carelessness afe at the bottom of 46. 6 per cent of all fatal accidents. The use of unnecessarily heavy blasting charges has often been ascertained to be the reason for shock ing disasters Of this character. Econ omy in the use of tin17oering is one of the commonest causes of roof col lapses.
 That mines should be subject to in- spection and compelled to obesrve reg ulations for the better protection of the worlsmen needs no argument. Rooseve1ts endeavor along this life saving line still remains one of the most commendable recommendations in his public service.

THE "CONTEMPT CASES
 AGAINST GoMPERS AN OTHERS
Concluding Arguments in the United
 States Supreme Court.

Washington. Jan. 3o.-Concluding arguments in the contempt cases against President Samuel Gompers, Vice. President John Mitchell and Sec- retary Frank Morrison of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor, were made United States The court took under consideration the question of affirming the decision of the courts of the Dis trict of Columbia, which sentenced the accused to jail.
 Arguments were made by Judge AL ton B. Parker and Jackson H. Ralston for the accused, and by J. J. Darling ton and Danie, Davenport against them. What Attorney Ralston and Darlington had to say was strictly in regard to the law in the case.
 Judge Parker laid stress on the ar gument by Judge Parker that the in junction against the "boycott'' of the Bucks Stove and Range company was violation of the freedom of speech of officials of the American Federation Judge Parker, the lawyer, to Judge Parker the judge" sair MT. Davenport. Then the attorney quoted from a de- cision rendered by Judge Parker when he was at the head of the New York court of appeals in which he said there was difference between en- joining libel and enjoining 8 publi- cation as a means of carrying on a conspiracy. The officials of the Amer ican Federation of Labor and others according to MT. Davenport were en- gagged in a conspiracy in violation of both the laws of God and of man.
