MRS. IDA M'CABE
STIRS CARY, IND.
Public Officials There Deny Eff
fort on Their Part to Capital
ize Billy Rugh's Heroism.

Mrs. Ida McCabe, S1S Twenty-fourth
street, is very much incensed at state
ments emanating from Gary, Ind, and
printed in Chicago papers in which she
is censured for having complained
about the manner III which the Billy
RCgh memorial fund is being expend-
ed. The Gary people are Offended at
her because she has stated that that
city has used the heToism of her Grip
pied cousin to make advertising CAPT
tai for the steel city Further she
says that all the honoTs paid the de-
I ceased were empty, inasmuch as the
boys funeral expenses had to be paid
for out of his own earnings, which in
the mselves were very meager. Re-
quests for aid in meeting the expenses
incurred by his death when he gave
skin from his body in order that a
young girl he had never seen might
live, piled up on his estate and on his
relatives, she claims, and Gary people
who were praising his heroism and
/ gathering money to build a memorial
/ u him turned q deaf ear when it was
admitted that aid in paying his ex.
pcnses would be appreciated.
( The mayor of Gary and public men
there who are in charge of the memoir
ial fund deny that they refused TO aid
in meeting expenses and state that on
the contrary they rendered financial
assistance which the deceased's rela-
tiyes refused. Further they say that
the memorial fund, now some S4O0
could not be touched for this purpose
but that money from other sources
viii be supplied if desired. They also
disclaim any intention of making
Rughs heroism and the countrywide
interest in him into capital for Gary.

LONG VIEW CARS
ON THIRD AVENUE
Plan Seems to Be Favored at
Conference Held at Mayors
Office Yesterday.

Yesterdays informal conference at
the mayors office resulted in the taclt
understanding that if any rerouting
of cars is done at the present time, 1t
will be sufficient to move the Long
View line from Second to Third ave
nue. No definite agreement to do this
was reached, but it was the only one

ing Third avenue better transportation
facilities that seemed to meet with
The approval of those at the confer
ence. The matter will come up again
in all probability at the next meet
Tag of the city commission when
some sort of action will be taken to-
wards ending the delay in improving
and paving Third avenue
1t was the opinion of all present
hat only two factors should be CON
sidered in making any reroutlng Of
street cars in the business district.
The first of these is the service af-
forded patrons of tAe cars and the
second is the best interests of the
city. 1t was pointed out that if NOV
/ ing a car line from Second to Third
avenue is only to advance Third ave
nue. property interests at the cost of
Second avenue, the move should not
be ordered Neither, it was thought,
should a line be transferred if it was
detrimental 10 the best interests OF
! the people who use the street cars.
In favor of moving the Long View
/ line, it was pointed out that it would
work the least harm of any of the
suggested plans while at the same
time it would afford transportation ia
ciIities for the avenue.
George Roth, appearing in behalf
of Third avenue interests, rather bit
erly arraigned the Second avenue men
whom he claimed were members OF
a booster club, but unwilling to aid
in boosting the city by permitting q
spreading out of the business dis
-rict. He held, and it seemed agreed
by those present, that the best in
terests of Rock Island demand a wild

WHAT rs THE USE OF CATCH
ING COLD?
Meme Whatever, Says a Prominent
Physician.

s B. Hartman, NJ. D., of Columbus,
Ohio, sends out the following pun
gent and pointed advice to the read
ins public:
You catch cold easily. You have
sew eral colds every winter. You do
net exactly have catarrh, and yet
there is more or less stoppage in the
nose. You have got so you expect
to have a cold every month or SO.
Your trouble is lack of resistance.
YCu lack vital powers to resist the
climatic conditions. With anything
that would raise the nervous tone or
invigorate the nutTitive system you
could 90 right through the winter
without catching cold. 1t is a fool
ish waste of energy and a reckless
risk of your life to continue in this
way
have a way TO avoid all this, if
you will take my advice. First, you
should take a cold water towel bath
every morning 1t should be taken
very rapidly, with a wet towel, and
can be taken anywhere, in hotel or
a small bedroom. A quart Of water
is all that is necessary. Rub youT,
self until you are thoroughly warm
and dry.
Now, in addition to this you should
take a tablespoonful of PeTuna be,
fore each meal, and if you are out
late at night and exposed somewhat
to cold. crowds and stuffy rooms, take
a tablespoonful before going to bed
also.
If you will follow these simple
plain directions you won't catch cold

[ is applicable and there are no fail
ures when it Is properly followed.

olGtions we're introduced by Supervis-
OTIS McMurphy of Canoe Greek and
Charles Oswald of Rock Island, both of
which aimed at giving the special com
mittee all powers necessary to pro
coed with the investigation and to take
any action possible for the securing
OF the appointment Of the chosen law
yers as special prosecutors. The lat
ter resolution called for an appropria-
ten OF all the spare money in the
treasury-some S3,OOO-to be placed
at the disposal of the comrsittee and
to be used by it as it sees fit for hiring
counsel and continuing the case.
Both resolutions we're adopted by
votes OF % 20 0.
The board then adjourned.
SHARP LIVE DRAWN.
The supervisors this morning clearly
showed that it is not their intention
to permit States Attorney F. E.
Thompson to conduct the investiga-
tion by means OF the information and
evidence they have already secured.
They take the stand that his refusal
TO acquiesce in their desire that he
admit his inability to conduct the pros
ecution, is lack Of proper cooperation
on his part.
