this morning received a telegram from
Congressman Clyde H. Tavenner at
Washington, D. c., stating that he had
succeeded in getting Secretary of La
Dor Wilson to reverse the decision OF
the immigration boards at Halifax and
Quebec.
Congressman Tavenner secured a
remarkable victory in winning the
fight to have Kosakowski admitted to
this country. The alien is from Rus
STA and was on his way to the home
Of his brother Morris Cohen of this
city, shoemaker residing at els
Ninth street. At Halifax, the immi-
grafton authorities detained him be-
cause of his lack of funds and alleged

San Francisco. July 24.-Director of
Concessions Frank Burt of the Pan
ama-Pacific International Exposition
has announced that he will give a
prize for the suggestion of the best
title by which the concession area
shall be known in 1915. Here is an
opportunity for anyone who is de-
sirouS of seeing everything in the eX-
position free of charge throughout the
year. The one who gives the most
appropriate and catching name for the
amusement concessions will be re-
warded with a free pass through the
exposition, valid at any time or for all
time during the exposition period.
The entrance to the concessions
will be built in the form of replicas
of the famous Gatun locks at the Pan
ANA canal. From the entrance to the
western extremity of the concessions
district there will be a long street
along which will be depicted scenes
from the canal zone.
1t is proposed to make this street
as attractive and as famous as the
celebrated Midway" of the Chicago
exposition and name is required
that will be as memorable as that.
The installation of the concessions
will involve, Mr.. Burt estimates, an
expenditure of between ten and twelve
million dollars. Some of the conces.

POLES BROKEN IN
unique ACCIDENT
BY STEEL GIRDER
Telegraphic Communication of
Rock Island, Burlington and
Milwaukee Affected.
ONLY ONE PEORIA WIRE
Distributing Station for Railroads and
Western Union Wrecked
by Mishap.

Practically all telegraph communica-
ton between Rock Island and points
along the three railroads that enter
the city was cut off suddenly about
$3.50 this morning when a big steel
girder being carried by a Milwaukee
freight train became loosened from
It's moorings and swung out far
enough to demolish half dozen tele-
graph poles supporting the cables of
the Burlington. Milwaukee and Rock
Island railroads.
The service of the Western Union
Telegraph company was also impaired
and all day the local office has been
working with only one wire to Peoria.
Besides wrecking the poles the girder
struck the office of the Port Byron
Lime association and the barn owned
by the Northwestern Brewing COM
pany, doing damage TO each. The train
was stopped. however. before it left
the local yards. and the car carrying
the girder was left here. HaC it not
been taken from the train before it
reached the bridge a serious wreck
would have undoubtedly occurred on
the structure.
STATION IL HIT.
William Toal. chief electrician for
the Burlington railroad, said this
morning: The accident happened at
the most important point in the city.
One Of the poles demolished was a
distributing station from which the
wires of the Burlington, Milwaukee
and Rock Island roads and also the
Western Union radiated and the serv-
ice all over the city is in a deplorable
condition. / expect to have one wirI
up by this evening"
The impact with which the girder
struck the poles was sufficient to
break them in from two to four parts,
and had it been hanging lower the EN-.
ployes of the Port Byron Coal com
pany, who were at work in the office
at the time of the crash, might have
been seriously injured.

Nearly all of the Young & McCombs'

damned with customers on Saturdays,
and if they had not conceived the
plan of offering special inducements
to hundreds of their customers, to pay
them to anticipate their weekend
needs on Friday, it would. be almost

however, they have splendidly solved
that once very vexing problem by the

rs your Administration to be dis
tinguished for the persecution visited
upon Southern women? Already you
have driven from the South one South
ern woman, the daughter Of a Con-
federate SOLD Ter and the widow of Lees
greatest lieutenant, Gen. James Long
street. After that, there are few South
ern women who would expect reap
pointment at your hands. But as
American citizens, may VIC not all
hope for justice at your hands?
"As a true Southern woman, my heart
has been sorrowed by the record which
is being made by your Administration
in persecution Of the widows and
daughters Of Southern soldiers who
were appointed to postonices In the
South by Presidents OF Union birth
and lineage. And many of the women
appointed in the South by Republican
Presidents have been the widows and
daughters of Southern Democrats.
II had hoped we had reached a happy
day of fraternal unity when a Southern
President, looking back over fifty
years Of peace, would refuse to MAKE
political war on Southern women be-
cause their dead husbands had been
Republicans in politics.

He pointed out particularly the testi-'
mony OF the aliensts tracing insanity
ini the Schmidt family. the prisoners $
declarations of having been ordained
priest by st. Elizabeth, and declared
there was no doubt that Schmidt was
of unsound mind.
The fact that Schmidt rented the nat

in his own name and left behind the

the murder, as well as incriminatins

Just returned from Investigating con-

'If the United States undertakes in
tervention," said Senator Catron to
Villa, ''it will be prepared to handle it
properly.
