GLOOM IN ISLANDER CAMP
Odds Of Two to One on Moline With
but Few Takers-BIow Proves
Severe One.

The Rock Island Independents have
received a death blow, due to the fact
that two of its star men, Art Salz-
mann and Davenport, will be unable
to play in the Olympic game at Brown
ing field next Sunday
With the state championship strug-
gle but three days off and two-thirds
of the backfield shot 10 pieces, the
prospect is anything but encouraging.
When the sad news was received
about town last night, there was a
marked fuctuation in the betting mar
ket, and lots of Moline money went
a-begging. Islander fans seem to real
ize That their chances for a victory
are rather slim, with two of the reg
ular backs out OF the game. and only
three days In which to break in 9TH
ers. The bets have been at evea
money thus far. but last night odds of
two to one we're offered on Moline
with but very few takers.

ARREST MAN HERE FOR
N. Y. MURDER IN 1908

Antonio zinno, 80 years old, la
borer, of 17e Bruce street, was ar
rested this morning by Lieutenant
Cordano for the murder of a fellow
countryman in New York on July
81, 1908, and was remanded to Essex
County jail by Judge Hahn in the
First Criminal Court to await ex-
tradition papers According to De-
tective James Digilio, of the New
York detective bureau, Zinno and his
brother-in-law, Cologera Barbara, be-
came engaged in a fight with Basilio
Allegro over a card game in the rear
of a saloon and that when the COM
batants reached the sidewalk in
front of 800 East One Hundred and
Seventh street, Allegro was stabbed
to death.
The alleged murderers fled and their
identity baffled the police for sew
eraI years. until recently, as the re-
suit of a Black Hand fued, their
names were turned over to the police
authorities, and descriptions of the
men sent broadcast throughout the
country. with the result that Zinno
was arrested here and his brother-in-
law. Barbara, was arrested last Mon
day in Cleveland, o. Steps will be
Immediately taken to bring both men
to trial, and the authorities believe
they have sufficient evidence to send
both to the electric chair.

INCREASED pay EAR
TEACHERS ISRdEl

II is likely that when the sc1ooi
budget for the year is taken up by
the instruction committee of the
Board of Education in special session
tonight, a plan will be submitted to
increase the minimum and maximum
salaries paid to general teachers.
At the present time the minimum
salary is $3.50 a year, and the maxi
mum $11O0. The plan, which it is
understood will be presented to the
committee. provides for an increase
of 500 a year, making the minimum
$3.50 and the maximum $1,000.
Several of the commissioners have
already expressed themselves as be-
ing opposed to the scheme, and it is
therefore likely that vigorous oppo-
sition will meet any attempt to put
1t into effect. Those who are opposed
to the move take the stand that the
natural increase over last year.
which, it is estimated. will be about
$175,O00, is sufficient burden to be
borne this year.
Certain phases of the budget have
already been taken up by the board
and it is likely that they viii get it
into shape for final passage tonight.
