STREET WIDENING
PETITION DENIED
Judge r. w. Olmsted Sustains
Objections of Fifth Avenue,
Moline, Owners.
WANTS TO REMOVE JOG
City Takes Initiative by Moving to
Condemn Ten Feet of Prop
critics. Frontage.

Judge R. W. Olmsted, in the county
court, this morning sustained the OBJ
jections to the petition of the city of
Moline for the widening of Fifth ave
nue., Fifteenth to Eighteenth streets.
There is a jog in the avenue between
the points mentioned. The city, in
order to establish uniformity, sought
TO condemn 10 feet of property on the
south side of the thoroughfare, thus af-
fOrding a 7O-foot street.
Several new business buildings are
planned there, and the interests pro-
noting these improvements desired a
wider street, inasmuch as Fifth avenue
gives promise of becoming the princi-
pal business thoroughfare of the city.
In response to these representations
the city council instituted the court
action, and Immediately a storm arose.
1t was led by the owners of the Peo-
pies Savings Bank & Trust company.
ALL OWNERS SIGN.
Owners of all of the property be-
tween Fifteenth and Eighteenth streets
on both sides of the avenue signed the
objecting petition, contending that
more harm than benefit to their hold
ings would result in the event the pro-
ject was carried through. II is under
stood the objectors are willing to
acquiesce if the city extends the wild
ening west to Twelfth street.

VIII. CATION, CUE
WIZARD, is DEAD
Former Three Cushion Worlds
Champion Expires in Chi

UNDERGOEs AN OPERATION
Weakened Cor fition Unable to With
stand Shoe k-LeaVeS Widow
and Six Children.

William H. Cation, Rock Island
er who once held the three-cushion
billiard championship of the world,
died this morning in the Lakeside
hospital, Chicago, of shock follow
ing an operation which he submitted
to as the last resort to forestall an
ailment that had been troubling him
several years. The operation was
performed Tuesday. Owing to his
weakened physical condition there
was only one chance in a dozen that
he would survive the shock, but Cat
ton decided to take that one chance.
And he lost.
Billy Cation was born in Salem,
Iowa, May 10, 1859. He came to
this city when he was 10 years old.
As boy he displayed adeptness in
the mastery of the cue, becoming
proficient both as a pool and bill
lard performer. 1t was as billiard
list that he developed, however. He
met all corners in the local halls, and
his reputation spread beyond his
home, resulting in challenges from
professionals in other sections of
the country.
THREE TRIPS ABROAD.
Many of these were defeated here
by Cation, and in few years he was
recognized as one of the American
stars. He participated in matches in
New York, Chicago, London and
Paris, making three trips abroad.
His speciality was as three-cushion
carom performer At this style of
play. he issued world challenge and
for a number of years held the cham
Pionship.
Cation some years ago conducted
a saloon and billiard room on Eigh-
teenth street in this city, and brought
here the players of the country, in
Guiding Schaefer Slosson, Sutton
and others equally celebrated. At
ter selling his local interests Cation
again entered tournaments in the larger
cities. His latest venture was in
pool hall in Oklahoma City.
WIDOW AND SIX CHILDREN.
William II. Cation and Miss Mary
Kelly of Davenport were married
Aug. II, 1885 The widow survives
with six children: Marian. Adele.
Louise, Marcus, Blanche and Will
liam, Jr. all at the home, 1415 Fifth

be brought to the city for inter-
ment.

weeks and one man charged that he
had lost $10S at the cigar store while
several others reported losses OF
from $50 to SIS. The game was sup
posed to be a quiet little affair, but
gradually the professionals had work
ed into it, and according to the sheriff,
had begun the using of marked cards.
When the raid was made, one fel
low sneaked upstairs. in an effort to
evade arrest, but he was followed by
Deputy Kittilsen, who located him de
spite the fact that the place was IL
total darkness. The follow was grasp
ed by the coat collar and hauled down
stairs again. The two who got away
took advantage of Sheriff Bruner when
he turned his back on them for a min
ute in order to telephone for an ex-
press wagon 70 haul away the stuff
which had been confscated. He could
not follow them because there was no
one left TO watch the remaining siz
prisoners.
RAID NOT PREMEDITATED.
The sheriff stated this morning thai
the raid was not decided upon until
he and his deputies reached the
place. The three left the sheriffs Of
fee earlier in the evening TO visit
saloon into which the Lincoln club
moved sometime ago and where il
was reported big doings were slated
for last night. The place was quiet
enough and the sheriff and deputies
returned down town They then de-
cided TO visit the Yingiing store and
see what was going on, and when they
got a tip that game was in progress
in which professionals were sitting
they planned the raid.

ICE VS.. RAILROAD.
Establishing Value of Iceboro Plan
Destroyed by Ere in 1910.

Portland, Me, June 15.-The hearing in
the suit brought by the American Ice Co.
of New Jersey against the Maine Central
Railroad to recover for the loss of their
plant at Iceboro in July, 1910. was re-
sumed this morning before Judge Hale of
the United States district court.
L. c. Ballard the superintendent of the
operations of the plaintiff on the Kenne-
bee river, was recalled by Hon. Forrest
Goodwin. one of the attorneys for the
defendant. He was closely cross-exam-
ined regarding the value of the tools and
other personal property Of the company
at the time of the fire aad concerning
the probable depreciation. If any. lie
was asked in detail to give the cost price
at the time of the purchase and the esti-
mated value at the time Of the fire. He
said that the company was given dis
count by the manufacturers of ice tools
averaging about enough to pay the
freight. He was asked if some of the
tools might not have been sent to the
shops and made as good as new as lar
as use was concerned. He said that they
might have been. but that they would
have cost more than new tools.
He was asked what would be the nat
ural depreciation in value of ice carried
over for a year, and he replied about the
extra cost of getting it out compared
with the cost of handling freshly cut ice.
Mr. Goodwin questioned him sharply re-
garding the different schedules made by
him. and he explained the cause and his
manner of getting at the value at the
time of the fire. and said that he only
tried to get at fair valuation and IA
fair cost price. He had books of the
company with him, and the questions of
Mr.. Goodwin covered period of nearly
80 years. At the afternoon session the
cross examination was along the same
line.
