An interesting and well attended
meeting of the Tri-City Wireless club

telegraph rooms On the sixth floor of

ances. The lecture was illustrated
with number of interesting drawings.

the daytime and as the result have
been receiving some interesting mes
sages pertaining to the insurrection
from southern government stations
near the Mexico line. News from Co.
len, Panama, is received nearly every
day. Incidentally, Colon is just 2.400
miles away.

DAVENPORT OUT
To RULE SOCIETY
Faction of Poultrymen in That
City Oppose Consolidation
With Locals.

Committees presenting the poultry
interests of Davenport and Rock Is
land met in this city last night for
the purpose of discussing a consolida-
tion of the organizations of the threee
cities. A committee from Moline was
expected to attend but because of the
snow storm was prevented from ap-
pearing. a telephone communication
from the committeeman was received,
however, and it apprised the local
committee that Moline is in hearty ac-
cord with the slogan harmony and a
big show and 1t is very probable that
any plan of consolidation will meet
with approval in that city Rock Is
land was represented last night by
o. NJ. Myers, w. H. Keeley and II. Il.
Killmer and Davenport's committee
comprised l.. II. Nutting, II. A. Skelley
and w. j. Sweeney, the latter of tiEs
city.
The hitch in the plans seems to be
that Davenport favors absorption OF
the Rock Island and Moline clubs
rather than consolidation with them.
Rock Islands recently organized Fan
cicr's association made a proposition
which includes the buying out at ac-
tual value of the Moline and Daven-

FOR PLAINTIFF
Jury in Circuit Court Allows
Large Sum in Suit Against
Ideal Lighting 90.

Mrs. Jennie Mahlstedt, complainant
against the Ideal Lighting company Of
Davenport in damage suit for $4,000
growing out of the killing OF her hus-
band when a lighting plant installed
by the defendant corporation exploded,
was given a verdict for S6,3S3 in the
circuit court this morning. The jury
received the case late yesterday af-
ternoon and deliberated over the
amount of the verdict until o'clock
this morning. When they finally reach
ed an agreement, they sealed up their
verdict and il was open when court
convened this morning at o'clock.
Without doubt the defendants will
continue to fight the case. first with a
demand for a new trial and then an
appeal If necessary.
The hearing Of the case has been
on in the circuit court for nearly two
weeks and was a well fought and in
teresting litigation partly because of
the expert testimony introduced by
both sides. The Plaintiff claimed that
the gasoline lighting plant sold by
the corporation was improperly in.
stalled and was unsafe because OF
that reason and that the corporation
was therefore liable when the plant
| exploded, killing Mr. Mahlstedt, whose
widow is the plaintiff in the suit. The
accident occurred on the Mahlstedt
farm on the Coiona road east OF
Moline.
