Needs Strong Continuation

During the progress of a murder trial at Chicago a few days ago, one Of the attorneys made the statement that in 11S instances in the United States, where the prisoners had been convicted of murder and executed, afterwards the persons who had been supposed to have been murdered were found to be alive. In the account of the trial as reported in one of the Chicago newspapers, it is stated that the attorney read records to prove his statement.
 It would be interesting to know the exact character of the alleged records upon which this surprising statement was based. Instances of this kind, while they have been known, are diff ficult to recall to the mind in num- hers by men whose lives have been spent in connection with news publica- tions To the average thoughtful person the statement lacks the cer- tainty which might result say from information contained in the census reports.
 To assume or concede the truth of q statement that the courts of the United States had sent 11S innocent persons to the gallows. when evi- dence was obtainable that in such cases no crime was committed, would be to place an indeible stain upon the administration of justice in this country. Even in Mexico, where the life of an accused person, guilty pr innocent. is of little account, such an imputation would be indignantly de- nied.
 Human courts cannot exist without the human factor. which is, proverbi- ally and as a matter of fact, fallible. But it has never yet been charged that courts having jurisdiction in capital cases have been utilized to furnish sinecure positions to the feeble minded

DISASTER DIMs HORSE SHOW.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-When the Titanic went down it carried with it Major Archibald w Butt and Clar- ence Moore, two of the leaders in the National Capital Horse Show association. and this tragedy has served somewhat to dim the bril- liance of the annual show, opened to- day to run four Cays. Major Butt was an active member of the show committee, while Mir Moore was a member of the executive committee of the association. Six thousand dol lars in prizes are offered by the show, and this has served to bring together some of the best animals in the country. It is planned to enlarge the Capital show into na- tional association. with a member ship extending throughout the Unit ed States.

YE OLDE FERRIE
BACK ON The JOB

Spring fever has touched the bones
of one Commodore Marcus l.. Hen
derson, and the first of his boats, the
old war vessel, I'VE ferrie" Rock Is
land, is at the Davenport dock ready
to give battle to any enemies who
may attempt TO drive it back to its
alternating quarters. The ferry
made it's appearance upon the high
and turbulent waters of the Missis-
sippi yesterday afternoon, aided in
the setting of the Davenport dock,
and then found its way back to the
winter harbor to escape possible dan
ger of large ice foes. 1t was back
at its post early this morning and
the sound of it's siren whistle put the
spring touch in other bones beside
those of its commander.
This morning the Davenport dock
sank to the bottom of the stream be-
cause of the fact that the seams open
ed and flooded it with water. A large
force of men is at work on both OF the
docks and Commodore Henderson stat
ed this noon that he expects to save
things in readiness tomorrow so that
people will be able to sun themselves
on the forward deck of the craft.

STEAL DYNAMITE
OUT OF BOX CAR

Some time during the night of
April 1 a car of merchandise on the
c., B. & Q. at Barstow was broken
into and a number of dynamite caps
taken from a box by robbers whose
identity is unknown. Sheriff o. L.
Bruner was this morning notified of
the robbery by F. A. Riddell, agent
for the Burlington in this city, and
requested to be on the lookout for
the thieves.
The car, which contained a great
deal of valuable merchandise, was
loaded at Peoria and was standing on
the side track at Barstow. The dyna-
mite caps were packed in sawdust
and the box was nailed to the floor
of the car Nothing else was dis
turbed. The loss was not discovered
by railroad men until yesterday. The
police in the near vicinity were i'm
mediately notified and every effort is
being made to land the guilty parties.

FULL TIME AGAIN

Mayor H. NJ. Schriver today notified
Rock Island saloon keepers that the
usual hours in the conduct of their
saloons might be resumed today, and
would be continued pending the care
with which the saloon keepers conduct
their barrooms. During the last week,
or since last Wednesday, the Rock Is
land bars have not operated during the
customary hours. For few days after
last weeks riots, they were closed.
Saturday they were opened at the u.s.
ual morning hour and closed at
o clock in the evening. The mayor ad-
vised the saloon keepers to keep
crowds from congregating in or around
the saloons. If any fights ocur in any
of the thirst emporiums, it is the in
tention to hold the saloon keeper a.
countable.

the desired mark. Captain F.W. Reimers
of company X, the last of the bust
ness men, reported subscriptions
amounting to more than 81 900 and
the delighted workers got up and
made the gym ring with cheers. The
mark was getting closer.
GOAL REACHED AT LAST.
When the business men had finish
ed their reports, there remained
scarcely 81, 900 yet to be secured. The
citizens captains began reporting and
each one boosted the total until with
the s155 secured by Captain A. H. Nc
Candless' team I, the 1925, 900 was
reached and passed. When all the
reports were in showing a total sub
scription of s126,942, pandemonium
broke loose. When quiet was re-
gained. the entire assemblage arose
and sang the doxology reverently and
many were the silent thanks return
ed TO the Power above for the sue
cessful termination of the campaign.
ADOPT RESOLUTIONS.
After the announcement of the re-
suit last night, the crowd having
cheered itself hoarse, short talks
were given by few of the men pres
ent, and the following resolution was
introduced and adopted:
AT the close of seven days of
strenuous and conscientious work,
which has resulted in the securing
of a fund of more than 1925, 200 for
new Y. NJ. c. A. building, in a cam
paign unprecedented in Y NJ. c. A.
work, conducted in the face of many
difficulties, We, the workers in this
campaign, desire TO tender our heart
felt thanks
ITO the very generous contributors
whose gifts have made possible this
splendid success; many of the con-
tributions having come from out of
the city as voluntary offerings:
ITO the press, for the hearty sup
port, the personal service, and the
valuable space which they have given
freely to the movement:
1 ITO the ladies, who have from day
] to day served the luncheons;
ITO those who have generously
furnished conveyances for the use of
the workers;
To NJ. {. Williams, whose wise
counsel and direction have been a
very important factor in the work;
And 10 all others, who, by words
of encouragement and various deeds,
have done much TO maintain our spir-
il in the work"
SPERRY'S TEAM BEST.
Although every one of the 20
teams of men worked hard and con-
sistently, only two of them were able
to point at a total subscription of
mere than $1,000. These were COM
panies n and A, Captains A. ID. Sperry
and w. p. zimmerman, respectively.
Captain Sperry's company turned in
pledges for a few dollars more than
did Captain Ammerman's but they
were nip and tuck all week, first one
getting the I'VE are it" banner and
then the other.
The business mems division head
ed by John II. Hauberg and the citi-
zens' division headed by II. S. Gable
presented another interesting race
Thanks principally TO the efforts Of
companies II and A, the business mer
topped their opponents in final totals
They were ahead every day after the
first, but by margin which rarely
was more than $1,000.
An unofficial report of the sub
scriptions secured by each of tn,
companies and teams follows:
