SCHOOL DECISION
TO HIT SUFFRAGE
Supreme Court Finding on
Township Law Applies to
Women's Votes Act.
LAW HELD TO BE INVALID
Rehearine Appeal Will Give Judges
Chance to Change Minds as in
University Case.

Springfield, ILL.,, July fellowship
high schools, So in number, and con-
tracts for construction and repairs
totaling at least $1,5OO,OOO are imper-
lied by an opinion of the Illinois SUI
preme court the full force of which
has just become apparent.
AS a possibility in connection with
the decision in point, it is held that
the same objection is a definite pre-
cedent running against the new wom-
ems suffrage act.
If carried out logically, according to
the curbstone opinion in Springfield,
it would knock out scores of Illinois
statutes of greater or less import
So vital is the matter so far as it
concerns the township high schools
that motion for rehearing has been
| filed with the clerk of the supreme
court, and the justices will be asked
to review the opinion which was hand
ed down particularly in a matter at
feCting the township high school of
| East Moline township in Rock Island
county.
The supreme court held in the East
Moline case that the legislature should
have amended specifically and in de-
tail the statutes then existent when
it sought to place on the books an
act amendatory in it's nature.
| The 1911 general assembly passed
a township high school law, running
chiefly to the method of calling cleo
tons for the creation of township high
schools and affecting principally the
technical requirements concerning the
publication of necessary election calls
The law was signed and became effec-
tive. Under the specific new law, 81
township high school districts have
been created and acting as such are
| issuing bonds and are taking all avail
able powers.
There was trouble in East Moline
and objection to creation of the pro-
posed district. The fight reached the
supreme court and the opinion came
down at the June term. AS one Of the
minor matters cited below was the al

entertainment A FAILURE
Advance Notices Have Appearance of
Work of Delirious Press
Agent.

What happened TO 492 motorcyclists
alleged to have been travelling from
Milwaukee to attend the national con-
vention in Denver and due in the tri-
cities at o'clock Monday afternoon?
Notices had been telegraphed ahead
to prepare to take care of 500 men
and great plans had been made il
Davenport to entertain this big dele
cation. Only seven riders showed up
and one is known to have sprung a
fork between here and Sterling. So
that leaves 495 unaccounted for. Need
less to say the entertainment for the
visitors to have been given at Schuet-
zen park, Davenport, was not put on.
Tri-city motorcyclists who gathered il
Davenport to greet the visiting riders
were sorely disappointed.
The Davenport Commercial club
was TO have taken care of the delega-
ton and had made preparations in
accordance with the advance notices.
In Sterling, where the travellers were
to have stopped for dinner, a great
quantity of provender is understood
to have gone to waste.
WAS LEAK SOMEWHERE.
The story sent out from Chicago
was to the effect that 500 riders left
that city Sunday, spending the night
at DeKalb. Three hundred were said
to be from Milwaukee and the balance
from the Illinois metropolis. The
precise point at which this number
dwindled down to five is not known.
Apparently some reporter counted
in several hundred riders out for a
Sunday spin who accompanied the
tourists as far as the city limits, or
else a delirious press agent got in his
deadly work.
In any event, local boosters who are
asked to stand good for refreshments
for visiting motocyclists hereafter
will want to be shown before putting

MUSICIANS WANT
INCREASE IN PAY
Are Asking More Wages for
Playing in Theatre
Orchestras.

Musicians who play in the theatre
orchestras of the tri-cities are de-
handing an increase in wages for the
coming season and unless an agree
ment is reached between the mu-
sicians' union and the theatre mana
gers before fall there is a possibility
of theatrical performances without &C.
compsnying music.
A scale of s25 per week for mu-
sicians and $35 a week for orchestra
leaders with an orchestra OF not less
than five members is the stipulation
of the musicians union. This would
make an orchestra cost of s135 week
" for each theatre.
The musicians are said 70 be figur-
ing on asking the stage hands to Join
with them in enforcing their demands.
During last winter they were receiv-
ing 50 a night for their services. A
new scale has gone into effect in the
meantime and they are demanding
more pay.
The wage scale is one Of the sub
jects being considered by the Tri.

NO MORE RACES
UNTIL NEXT FALL
Many Local Horses to Be
Shipped to Griggsville-
Thos. Norton Resigns.

There will be no more races at Expo
park until next fall, according TO a
decision of the Twin-City Driving asso-
citation at the regular meeting held
last night. The heat has served to
cut down the attendance, and after
considering the matter from every an
gle, it was deemed advisable to defer
the running Of further cards until the
heat has had its inning.
Another reason for the decision is
the removal of a number of the best
horses from the local stables to enter
the Northern Missouri circuit. Her
man Banker expects to ship three
horses to Griggsville, Mo, Fred Nc
Cullom, two, and DR.. Soule of East
Moline, one. Others may also be en-
tered, although announcements to tfat
effect have not been made as yet. The
Expo park stables will not be vacant
by any means, however, as local horse
men are all anxious to secure quarters
for the steeds, and lack of accommo-
dations has precluded any possibility
of such action thus far.
A surprise was sprung when Presi-
dent Thomas f. Norton arose and
handed in his resignation, stating that
other interests required his undivided
attention. The resignation was accept
ed, and the association rendered Mr..
Norton vote of thanks as an appre.
citation of his efforts in their behalf.
Fred McCullom of Milan was elected
to NIL the vacancy. Purses for the
last race were awarded, and routine
business was transacted.

FINE MUSIC FOR
SCHUETzEN PARK
Opening Concert Under Otto
Leadership to Be Given
Thursday Flight.

The management of Yum Altendorf-
Schuetzen park-has arranged for the
resumption of the band concerts al
that popular resort. These concerts
are to be under the direction of Pro.
fessor Ernst Otto, who has organized
a band of 80 pieces, and the first of
these is TO be given next Thursday ev.
ening.
Professor Otto is not only recognize
ed as one of the leading musicians o.
this part of the country, but he is ona
of the best, band directors to be found
anywhere. His reputation os a di-
rector was made number OF
years ago and it was justly earned
through results obtained by him as a
band leader. Not only did he demon
strate his ability in band music, but
he also distinguished himself as a d.
rector of vocal choruses, thus showing
himself to be an Interpreter of the
work of the masters whether for voice
or Instrumentation.
Scuetzen park has one of the finest
music pavilions in the country. The
acoustics of the shell are perfect and
the finest shadings of harmony can be
produced as well as in the best of the
concert halls. When the pavilion was
first opened, a great chorus composed
of the German singing societies OF
Davenport was organized TO assist in
the dedicatory exercises. Professor
Otto was selected to lead it. So il
has been the custom of the band direc.
tors who have brought their aggrega.
tions of musicians TO Schuetzen park,
since that time, to call upon Professor
Otto to direct at least one number OF
their programs.
1t is indeed fitting, after so many
years, that Professor Otto should head
a band composed of the best musicians
of the city to give a series of con
certs. In the first place, it is a guar.
antee that the concerts will be of high
standard and splendid execution. The
most classical numbers will be given
a mastery Interpretation. 1t will be
like returning 10 the days of old wher
Davenport held the reputation of be
ing one of the most musical cities in
the entire west. 1t will give to those
who love music for music's sake ar
opportunity to have their tastes salts

ELKS WILL PRESENT
SCHUBERT QUARTET

J. II Fredricy, who is always at the
head of anything Of Elkdom announces
that the Best People will present here
on the evening of February II the
Schubert Symphony Club and Lady
Quartet, of Chicago.
This company gives program of
the finest quality, consisting of lady
quartets, club selections. violin and
vocal solos and readings. In the Schu-
berts we will get musical entertain
ment that is enjoyable from first to
last--not long, dull affair. but a
bright, interesting program of music's
choicest gems.
The Schubert Lady Quartet has a
range of voices of considerably over
three octaves, the contralto having as
phenomenal low voice as the soprano
has a high one. This enables them to
render a class of music that is entirely
out of reach of the usual female quar-
tet. and nearly all of their selections
are written or arranged especially for
them.
