Not Same sehlnas.-The report sent
out from Chicago stating that Aleco
schinas, the assassin of King George
OF Greece, formerly lived in Daven-
port has proved erroneous. The dis
patch stated Schinas, until eight
eight months ago. ran a Greek coffee
house in this city and that his brother,
Xonophon Tyrolayos, had a billiard
hall here. Investigation discloses the
fact that the schinas referred to is no
other than John Schinas. He is a
brother-in.law Of William Teros, local
Greek leader, and has lived in Daven-
port for some time. But he is far from
being in Greece at the present time or
being the assassin Of King George, for
he is now working in East Moline.
Moreover, instead OF being we'll edu-
Gated and an orator, as the dispatches
state Aleco Schinas Is, our John Is
common laborer, entirely lacking IN
education William Teros, moreover,
denies that there is any connection or
relationship between the two men It
is presumed that the name Of the Dav-
export Schinas was secured by the
Chicago papers from the Greek consul
in that city and using this as a clue,
an effort was made to connect him
with King Georges death The XonO-
phon Tyrolavos mentioned In the Chi
cago dispatches Is evidently meant for
William Teros The latter states his
correct name is Vacilios Tyrovolas.
Danish Brick Walks-Inspection and
condemnation OF all brick walks in the
business section of the city has been
ordered by the city council. The or.
der instructs the board of public works

Of all sidewalks in the city was read
Tor the first time by the council ant
