USEFUL HIGHWAY

preparation for Illinois and
Michigan.
Especial to >The Argus

Ottawa, Ill, Aug. l5.-Through the
Influences and energies of Captain
Walter A. Rosentield, president of the
Illinois canal commission, is the Hi
nois and Michigan canal to come
back?
The awakened interest in the aban-
dOned commercial highway from Lake
Michigan to the head waters of the
Hennepin, due to the efforts of Cap
tain Rosenfield and his associate com
misslOners, William l.. Sackett and
Charles F. Anderson, has already been
told in the newspapers of the state. 1t
has been related how Joy Morton,
president of the Morton Salt company,
had interested himself in the redevel-
cpment of the canal and has already
made several heavy shipments from
Chicago down the Illinois and Michi-
gan and the Hennepin canals to the
Mississippi at Rock Island. There is
more on the way and Mr. Morton pro-
poses to build fleet of steel canal
baTgcs and steamers, provided the
state of Illinois will enlarge the locks,
aqueducts and viaducts of the Illinois
and Michigan to conform to those of
the Hennepin.
A CONVINCING TRIP.
To convince the shippers OF the
feasibility of the canal, the commits
sioners invited a party Of Chicago
manufacturers and Illinois newspaper
men to make a two-days' trip through
TIE canal The journey was begun at
Joliet yesterday morning and the first
days cruise wound up at Ottawa last
night. The party sets out this morn
ing on the last log of the trip which
will extend to LaSalle.

sion, conveyed on a barge lowed by the
commissions little steamer Aeolus, saw
the canal in operation in its print,
tive stages. They saw a canal which
had been started in 1924 and com
pleted i'll 1910, which for years had
been in regular use, but which for %
years had been gradually neglected by
shippers until during the past dozen
years it had been almost totally out

The locks of the Illinois and MiChi
San canal are 17I2 feet wide and 105

'CICCED" WHEEL
CAME is STOPPED
Proprietor of Alleged Crooked
Machine at Water Carni-
val Pays a Fine.
ARRESTED BY THE SHERIFF
lily and County Officials Had Re-
ceived Promises That No Shady
Stuff Would Be Tried.

After promising Commissioner Ar
chic Hart and Sheriff o. !. Bruner
that there would be no questionable
games worked at the water carnival
which is nightly showing TO big crowds
al the Twenty-fOurth street grounds,
one member at least of the aggrega-
ton broke over the gounds last night
and as a result he will do no more
business in Rock Island. d. NJ. At
wood, proprietor of a paddle wheel
game, paid s17.10 this morning in po-
lice court 10 escape a term in Jail The
charge against him was disorderly
conduct and had he shown any dispo-
sitiOn either to fight il or to remain
in business, a charge of operating a
"gigged" wheel would have been pre-
Tered and he would have laid in the
county jail until the next grand jury
meets. He paid and promised TO be
good.
OFFICIALS COOPER
When the carnival shows struck
town, Commissioner Hart and Sheriff
Bruner went together to the manage
ment and laid down the law as re-
CARDS the shows and games that
would be permitted. Promises of the
best behavior were made.
Last night Commissioner Hart had
his force busy conducting several
raids in the redlight district, leaving
the sheriff in charge al the show
grounds. Bruner was there personal
ly. Atwood and his wife run a for
tune wheel at which paddles with
numbers on are sold. The law does
not permit cash prizes so various more
OF less useful and valuable articles
are played for. The spirit Of the law
IS evaded, however, by the buying
back of prizes.
SKIN GAME WORKEDP
Bruner watched the game closely
for a while and decided that the
wheel was "gigged," in other words
fixed so that the woman could stop il
at a given number. When convinced
Of this fact, Bruner advanced and tore
away a strip of bunting which con-
cealed the lever which worked the de.
vice and ordered the game stopped.
Atwood became abusive and direct
ed some very bad language at CITY
and county officials. This resulted in
his arrest. He was taken 10 the sta
ton by Deputy Sheriff George Sic
mon and Officer Dick Kell. This morn
ing he plead guilty to the charge
against him.
