and Bluff streets, Moline.
Banderberghe is 40 years OF age

Veergeate, had him arrested on a
charge Of disorderly conduct He was
placed in Jail and this morning was
fined $3.50 by Judge S. A. Cartwright
Revengeful because of his arrest,
Banderberghe shortly after dinner
went to the house and going to his
room, picked up a double barrel shot
gun. He went to where Vande Veer.

half dozen horses will be entered from
the Reimer stables at Moline.
The track has been put in excel
lent shape and some good records
should be made this season. From
present indications, the races should
be far better than those of 1912. Wide
spread interest has been evinced in
the announcement that races would
be staged at Expo park, and this is
not confined to the tri-city horsemen
alone. The entire surrounding coun-
try has seized the good news with
sVidity, and entries will be exceeding
ly heavy.

ST. JOSEPH CHILDREN
HAVE ANNUAL PICNIC

The annual picnic Of the pupils of
St Josephs Parochial school was
held today at the Watch Tower. The
pupils gathered at the school about 8
o'clock in the morning and went to
the picnic grounds in special cars.
Three OF these were well laden by the
youngsters, who were out to have a
good time and needless to say they did
so. Before heading for the park the
special cars made a circuit of the loop
section Of the business district. In
cidently the picnic marked the open
ing Of the Watch Tower for the sea

THREE BILLIONS
FOR Good ROADS

Washington, D. c.. May IAN ex-
penditure of $4,000, O00, 900 for good
roads-s1 ,Oo0, 100000 being for con
struction and $4,000, 900, 900 for main
tenance, the investment extending
over a period of so years-was propos-
ed in a plan submitted to the joint
congressional committee on federal
aid in the construction of postroads by
former Senator Bourne of Oregon.
Senator Bourne's plan provides for
federal and state cooperation. He
also suggests the establishment Of q
national school of highway and bridge
engineering from which trained spe-
cialists in road building would be sup
piled to the various states.
The $1,000, OOO, 900 construction fund.
according to Mr.. Bourne's plans, would
be apportioned among the states upon
the basis Of area, population assessed
valuation and road mileage. The
states would be required to deposit in
/ the United States treasury 50-year 4
/ per cent bonds for the amount due
them. The government would then
/ loan the states the par value thereof
! for road construction, the government
raising it's fund by the sale of 50-year
non-taxable 3 per cent bonds.
/ BY crediting each state every year
with the excess l per cent interest
( paid on the state bonds and allowing
per cent interest on the amount, com
pounded annually,a sinking fund would
/ be established, it is estimated from
which the government would pay of
the bonds at the end OF 50 years anG
/ the state would be relieved of the pay
/ ment Of principal on its bonds.

HOWE'S TRAVELS.
Shown in Pictures at Colonial Theatre
Tomorrow Night.

Those who enjoy travel most are
those who travel much, whether by
boat or rail or with Lyman H. Howe
via his Travel Festival. However,
Howe travellers enjoy an advantage
which actual travellers do not, be-
cause their pleasure is not marred
by poor hotel accommodations, late
trains, bad weather or the annoyan
caused by baggage, quarantine or GUS
toms officials.
The range of interests represented
in the new program which will be
shown at the Colonial Theatre tomor-
row night is as wide as human ma
ture itself 1t contains many COM
parisons which are striking, espec-
islly for Americans who, living in an
environment that is modern to the
last degree, can appreciate all the
more the strange scenes Of foreign
lands that are not as progressive as
our own. Such reproductions culti-
vate the power of observation.

Last Remnants Of Maine Wreck to be
Removed.

Work of removing the last rem
nants of the wreck of the old battle-
ship Maine and the accumulations
that gathered about in in the bottom
of Havana harbor has been completed.
: Col. William NJ. Black, of the Corps
Of Engineers of the Army, who was
detailed to carry out the undertak-
ing, has submitted general report
on the subject, and detailed account
of expenditures will be Forthcoming.
Following the removal of the after
portion of the Maine, which was
fioated last February and towed to
sea and buried on March 16 last, it
still was necessary to remove the
cofferdam which had been built
around the wreck, as well as to re-
move clay, rocks and other accumu-
lations, so as to restore the site to the
condition it was on the ms emorable
day in February, fifteen years ago
when the battleship went to the bot
tom.
The forward turret, which was
discovered after the burial of the
ship proper was sunk deep into the
mud at the bottom of the harbcr, his
means being devised as the easiest to
prevent il from becoming a menace
to navigation. The mainmast of the
historic ship will be sent to Arling-
ton Cemetery to be embodied in a
monument to the Maine dead who
were inferred there with fitting cere-
monial last March
Sufficient funds are left from the
appropriation for the raising of the
battleship to provide a proper setting
for the mast. The after-turret and
two IO-inch guns were given to the
Cuban gov srnment. Numerous inquir-
les are being received at the Navy
Department from military and naval
organizations and municipalities de-
sirous of obtaining some of the tab
lets to be struck from the metal work

FRIGATE NOT TO BE RAISED.
Philadelphia, Sunk at TripOIi in 1908,
May Remain There.

Lieut.. Comm ander r. Drace White,
military attache at the American en-
bassy at Rome, in report to the
Navy Department, says there are no
reasons apart from sentimental ones
for raising the old frigate Philadel-
phia, sunk in the harbor of Tripoli in
1908.
The investigation was ordered last
autumn after a halloonist flying over
the Mediterranean sighted the hull OF
the vessel, which was sunk in the wal
waged by this country to put an END
to attacks on American merchant ves-
sells by Barbary pirates.
Commander White estimates that it
would cost SI2. .000 to raise the Phil
adelphia and get her ashore. He says
she apparently lies on her side, and
is covered with sand all except for q
space of about thirty-fve feet. To
raise her it would be necessary TO
dredge around the outside as we'll as
inside of the sunken craft.
1t is unlikely that the Navy De-
partment will order the work done. II
is planned in the near future to re-
claim that portion Of the harbor IN
which the frigate lies, and she prob
ably will be covered when the engl-
neers begin their work

MUST TAKE AUTO SERIOUSLY.
Writer in Golfers Shows Urgent Need
OF Reform.

We are fundamentally 10 blame
for the great number of automobile
fatalities, says William Allen John
ston in the current issue Of Golfers,
for the reason that we do not take
the automobile seriously enough.
With a million cars in the country
one 70 every hundred Of population,
this new but tremendous factor IN
traffic must have at once the atten-
tion 1t deserves.
Reforms are demanded along the
main line of uniform state legisls-
ton, city traffic regulations, licenses
for drivers and sane signal laws.
The signal situation has been compli-
Gated and Is development exceeding
~ interesting"
The public has shown some antago-
nism toward the evolution Of the
'squawker" or bulb horn into the
modern efficient signal, because the
latter seemed first to voice the arro-
gauce Of the automobile instead Of per-
forming, as it does, most important
function Of public safety. But that
spirit has passed State laws demand
inadequate signal and adequate"
does not mean the weak-toned, old
fashioned bulb-horn. The law should
safe this clearly.
Chicago tackled the situation first
with the aid of trefiic officials and
legal experts. 1t was realized that
an adequate signal is necessity and
also that to be adequate it must be
loud enough to be heard under all cir
cumstances and all conditions Of
traffic, and it must give a harsh,
abrupt note; one, in other words, that
means business, that speaks serious
ly enough of the potential danger of
an approaching car The simple pro-
vision was added that the signal must
not be used unnecessarily nor in any
way except as a warning of danger.
st. Louis, Cincinnati, Los Angeles,
Newark and Dallas and number of
other cities have been quick TO adopt
this ordinance. 1t has been approved
by the American Road Congress, the
American Automobile Association
and will undoubtedly become a gem
eral State law.
