without any big donations to help
swell the total. the 200 Y. NJ. c. A.
campaigners showed returns today
which boosted the rapidly growing
building fund past the $50, 900 mark.
The announcement that the sum had
reached such proportions created
wonderful enthusiasm among the
workers and the ladies of the First

at the Y. NJ. c. A. at noon Joined in
the cheering.
II took Moline four days OF hard
work to pass the $50, 900 mark. Rock
Island men reported this noon
pledges totaling $50,442, done in
three days, still $4,000 ahead of the
Moline record for the third day and
they have done that in the face OF
riotous local conditions. The work.

WITNESSES HURT
WOMAN'S CAUSE
Character of Miss Mercy, Suing
University Dean, Attacked
in Court.
CALLED UNTRUTHFUL
Plaintiff Creates Scene While O. III.
Zimmerman, Defense Supporter,
Is on Stand.

Chicago, March 2S.-A. Abrahams
furniture dealer, was the first wit.
ness today in the case of Miss Esther
Mercy against Marion Talbot, dean of
women at the University of Chicago.
Abrahams was called in behalf of
Miss Talbot. The witness said he had
known Miss Mercy four years; that
her reputation for truth and veractty
was bad, that he would not believe
her under oath. On cross examina-
ton Abrahams admitted he had had
business relations with Miss Mercy,
and based his opinion of her veracity
on his business experience.
GIRL DEFIEs WITNESS.
Miss Mercy caused some excite
ment by raising in her chair and
shouting: Look me in the face!
! Look me In the face" when G. H.
Zimmerman, engaged in the mail or
der business, was called to the stand.
Zimmerman said he did not know
Miss Mercy's reputation for truth and
veracity, but that Warren Reynolds
reputation for truthfulness was bad.
Reynolds is a friend of Miss Mercys.
Zimmerman would not believe Rey-
holds under oath.
CAUTIONED BY JUDGE.
Judge Pomeroy excused the Jury
and cautioned Miss Mercy from max
ing further remarks to witnesses or
Others during the progress of the
trial.
William Tascot, restaurant keep
er, and Miss Mary Waring, a school
teacher, testified that Miss Mercy's
reputation for truth was bad. Sew
eral other character witnesses were
examined.

this noon the general impression was
that It would be duh and discour-
aging day. Conditions in the city
had made it hard to get people to
pay attention to the Y. NJ. c. A. They
wanted to watch the soldiers. But
when the general chairmen called for
reports and the amounts began to
come in, that notion was quickly dis
PEELED.
A. H. McCandless won the banner
OF honor for the citizens committee,
5000. In the business mems section,
A. D. Sperry's team reported pledges
amounting TO s1,510, which not only
took the banner for the day. but gave
him the sweepstakes for the whole
group OF workers.
CHEER ANNOUNCEMENT.
When the final total Of $50, 442
was reported, the crowd waxed noisy
TO the limit. The cheering was not
only done by the men, but the ladies
added their voices and raised a
mighty cheer for the victory that has
been won.
The men went out with renewed
courage, realizing that they still have
the big clock running ahead Of sched-
ule. II will glow with the radiance Of
so electric lamps tonight, because the
$4,000 subscribed make it possible
to turn on more light.
SET NEW GOAL.
Now they are after the $4,000
mark for the next goal and if the
good work continues, they will easily
pass 1t before Saturday noon.
If you who read this story have
not made a pledge as yet to the fund,
begin to figure right now just how
much you can do. Make 1t liberal
pledge and give it quickly. Help the
men who are fighting so gamely to
put this big thing across for Rock
Island.
The city has had lot Of undesirable
publicity in the last few days. The
news about the Y. NJ. c. A. fund will
go over the whole land counterfeit
ing much of the bad effect of the
riot news.

ICE ON VERGE OF

Within "a hours it is predicted that
the river between the two bridges will
be free of ice This morning the ice
above the government bridge was all
broken up and there is now big jam
against the piers. The ice Is not very
high, but it is evenly piled from the
Iowa to the Illinois side. There is a
wide channel from the government to
the Crescent bridge along the south
ern shore, where the river is clear of
ice, this channel being about 100 feet
wide.
Reports from the Moline lock this af-
ternoon were TO the effect that there

is four feet above normal, and two feet
