HAVEMEYER, SUGAR KING,
DIES SUDDENLY IN EAST

New York, Sept. 8-William F.
Havemeyer, who was a member of
Havemeyer Bros sugar refiners, at
the time that concern was absorbed
by the American Sugar Refining COM
pany 20 years ago, was found dead
in bed yesterday morning in the
apartments of his son-in-law, William
X. Wilcox, former chairman of the
public service commission, with whom
he lived.
Death was ascribed to heart
disease. Mr. Havemeyer had enjoyed
comparatively good health and his sud-
den taking away was a great shock to
the members of his family and his
friends. He is believed to have pass
ed away as he slept.
Mr.. Havemeyer was a son of Mayor
William F. Havemeyer of this city,
who was stricken at the city hail in
1876 during the second year of his
term.
William Havemeyer engaged in the
sugar refining business with his
brothers as comparatively young
man, and had no connection with thai
industry ai5er his firm passed into the
control of the American Sugar Rein
ing company. The Havemeyers now
connected with that company are Mr.

COLONA BRIDGE
WILL AGAIN BE
THRESHED out
Board of Supervisors to Con-
slider Proposition at APP
preaching Session.
INVITED TO A CONFERENCE
Gathering to Be Held Wednesday
Evening at East MoIine-Henry
County Men Guests.

When the board of supervisors con-
vene tomorrow for the September ses-
sion, one of the most important mat
tiers to come before the body will be
the old question of a bridge across
Rock river at Colona. 1t will be re-
membered that Henry county has al
ready appropriated something over
$4,000 for the purpose, but thus far
the board has refused to come up with
its share, because of the financial con-
dition of the county.
CALL CONFERENCE.
Members of the board have received
urgent invitations TO be present at a
conference which is to be held We'd
nesday evening at East Moline under
the auspices of the Commercial club
of that place, supervisors from Henry
county are also to be in attendance.
An attempt will be made to overcome
the opposition to appropriation for
the bridge which developed at the last
session of the board. 1t is expected
that definite action on the matter will
be taken at the approaching session
of the body. Mandarin proceedings
were started some time ago by Henry
county to compel Rock Island county
to fulfill its agreement to build the
bridge jointly.
OTHER MATTERS.
Other important matters are to be
brought before the board for action
A grand jury will be selected, a sue
cessor named to Engineer Thompson
at the court house,and other business
will be transacted

Damaraland.

Mistakes such as that which makes
Uganda of Buganda are frequent when
the white man bases his geographical
nomenclature on his understanding OF
the native. Sometimes they are anus
ing when one gets the explanation.
For instance, Damaraland should real
ly be Damaqualand, Just as Namaqua-
land and Griqualand, for qua" is the
masculine plural. meaning men"
IRA" Is the feminine dual. The ex-
plorer, with a sweep of his hand, cues
toned his native guides as to the name
Of the country. But they thought he
was pointing to two Dana women In
the distance and answered, "Damara."
So this portion of German Africa bears
a name which signifies "land of two
Damn women. "-London Chronicle.

The bridge line cars were also stop
ped for a short time but were later

The cars on the local lines are us,

plant caused the current to be turned
off, however, and it was this that
