ISIAMUSING TO
THE GOVERNOR
Knows Nothing About AppIi'
cation to Join Club.
Special bu United Fress Wire.

Sea Grit, July 31:-The report
that friends who had posted his
name for membership in the Man
haitian Club, of New York City, had
been forced to withdraw it because
they had been warned by friends
that former United States Senator
James Smith, of Newark, would
blackball the application, caused
some amusement to Governor Wood
row Wilson. The Democratic presi-
Dental candidate said today that
this was the first he had heard of
the matter. AS far as he know no
one had been authorized to propose
him for membership in the Manhat-
tan or any other New York club and
he had signed no application.
The Manhattan is the club at
which the governor declined the
proffered financial support from
Thomas Ryan, made by George Har-
yey and Col. Henry Watterson, the
refusal of which caused the break
between Wilson, Harvey and Wat
terson.
Two Vice Chairmen.
1t was reported here today that
there Will be two vice chairmen in
ottdu VI Ouc lOl tlG DGLlUCid JlC Id
tional committee to handle the de-
work that Chairman Nc
Combs will be unable to take care
of. One will be William G. Nc
Adoo, the New Jersey tunnel build
er, who will charge of the operations
in the east. The other will be the
blind senator from Oklahoma,
Thomas Gore, who will handle the
west. This will be the first time in
The history of American politics that
a blind man has managed a presi-
lential campaign.
Arrangements for the notification
ceremonies have been perfected. A

If the little White House" for the
members of the notification commit

WAGONS MUST
KEEP MOVING

Truant Officer Meshrow has been
added to the staff Of officials keep
ing watch at the public market
along the westerly side of Maple
street. He is aiding superintendent
Of Weights and Measures Henry
loft and City Marshal Walters in
the enforcement of rules and regula-
lions.
A new rule, which will probably
become effective Friday, is that rigs
excepting those having market
space, must keep moving while on
Maple street. That street is used as
the principal thoroughfare about
the market place and officials have
decided that it must be kept open on
market days. In the past purchas-
ers with rigs, hucksters and the
like have been in the habit of driv-
Ing close to the farmer or huckster
rigs and thereby blocking traffic.
Acting Mayor Garretson conferred
with the police and City Marshal
on this subject last night.

FAIL To SOLVE
THIS MYSTERY
Authorities Still Puzzled
Over Miss Snodgrass Death.
special BY United Press Wirs.

yPtNtoN w
Catskill, N. Y, July 31.-While
the body of Miss Dorcas Snodgrass,
found in Catskill creek eleven days
after she disappeared, today was be-
ing shipped from Mt. Vernon to the
old family plot in Martinsburg, w.
Va. District Attorney Wilbur and
the prone were considering the adj
visibility of asking the family for
permission to remove and examine
the vistera of the young woman, to
search for poison.
DR.. J.. l.. Rooney, of Albany, who
performed an autopsy is the author
ity for the statement hat the condi-
ton of the body was such as to in
dictate death by drowning, but that
the shallow water in which it was
found made it probable that Miss
Snodgrass was inert, possibly neon
scious, when her body was placed in
the water. An examination of the
body reaveled nothing to indicate
murder.
A dummy placed in the water at
the mouth of the creek by Wilbur
became fast on the flats before it
to the place where the girls body
was found. Wilbur said this in a
way would be theory hat the body
was washed in from the Hudson.
Today a canvas of all the motor
boats known to have been in the
Catskill with in the last ten days
failed to reveal any one who admit
ted knowing the dead nurse.

hounds Are Needed.
NOT YET SAYS BRUNER
No Order Has Been Forwarded and
None Will Be-Another
Unique Offer.

Rock Island has received more than
its share of unwelcome notoriety as a
result of the turbulent conditions ex-
listing hereabouts during the past
week, and many residents of other cit
les, after reading the sensational
stories of dynamiters, assassins, etc,
are firmly convinced that the streets
are moist with human gore, that the
city hall is an imposing mass of wreck
age, and that our fair city and vicinity
is infested with man-killers, thugs, out
laws and pirates who are as plentiful
as bugs on the tendrils OF the strug-
Cling vine of the early potato.
WANTS TO Sell HOUNDS.
At any rate this morning. Sheriff o.
l.. Bruner received a circular from w.
Y. Rodinbaugh, of Agency. Iowa, who
carries in stock choice line Of plain
and fancy man trailing blood hounds,
OF the latest style. prices reasonable.
On the circular is an excellent like
ness of the proprietor of the sleuth-
hound establishment. He is holding
il leash two samples from his stock,
and contrary to general expectations,
instead Of struggling to be released on
man hunt and causing said Rodin-
baugh to dig his heels into terra firma
in heroic effort to remain in the i'm
mediate vicinity for the nonce, the car
niverous CANNES have the appearance
of domesticated maltese cats, stretch
ing in the sun preparatory to resuming
an interrupted period of slumber.
Sheriff Bruner has not wired for a
shipment as yet.
DOGS FOR PREMIUMS.
An agent for an antiseptic solution
appeared at the sheriff's office this
! morning and desired to sell the county
| about a gallon of his germ exterminat-
ing fluid. He was informed by Os
Bruner that Rock Island county was
not in the market for his antiseptic
today. 'T'll tell you what I'll do" said
the agent, IF you will take so gallons,
I'll throw in blood hound" you can
throw your blood hound into the anti
septic" replied the sheriff, 81 don't
want either one"

Cut this out and save for reference
on election day.

Possibly the worst condition that
today confronts the people of this
community is the dissatisfaction
that prevails in every line of business
activity. Everyone is so busily engag-
ed with his personal affairs that the
civic business is left unattended to.
1t is up to every citizen to devote a
portion of his energies to the upbuild-
ing of the city and surroundings. Get
ting into a self-satisfied rut is one of
the greatest hindrances to the growth
of otherwise healthy communities.
Let's get busy and let the outside
world know what we have in the way
of everything that makes life worth
living, and there is practically no linn
it to the possibilities in the next few
years.
