Former Resort and Finds
Desolate Scene.

CAS- dead as the grave" declared
States Attorney Floyd E. Thompson
this morning in discussing the cordi-
tions he found on a tour of inspection
made yesterday afternoon of Camp
Joy. He made the trip for the pur-
pose of learning if his order relative
to dismantling the notorious resort
had been followed out.
The tents have all been taken
down and there's a paddock on the
dance hail." continued the county
prosecutor. Where refreshments
we're recently disposed of, there is a
clam bakery and shells cover the
ground instead of sawdust l guess
they have at last found out that
meant business when | said Camp Joy
would have to be q continued"
MIR. and Mrs. Bert Du Pres. who
operated the place, are still inmates
of the county jail. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Du PREF is arranging to give
a chattel mortgage on his belongings
which is taken to mean that he will
soon make another attempt to give
bond.

AUTO PATROL is
DISPLAYED HERE
Davenport's Fine New Machine
Is Brought to Rock Island
by Council Members.

Members of the city council of Dav-
export made a trip this morning 10 Rock
Island in the new auto police patrol
which had just been received. II is
a 50-horsepower machine, manufactur-
cd by the Pope-Hartford company, and
is complete in every detail. The auto
drove to the city hall where it at
tracted much attention ard proved TO
be such an easy riding and handsome
vehicle that a jaunt to the city lug"
in it would not be half bad, in the
opinion of those who saw it.
The auto is the same type that some
Of the commissioners favored for
Rock Island, but finally the body de-
cided to purchase a cheaper machine
and a Kissel-Kar was bought instead.
The local machine, which is to be
used jointly for ambulance and patrol
work, is expected to arrive the latter
part of the week.

POLICE FIND NO
TRACE OF HAZEL
Mysterious Woman Mentioned
in Dead Youths Note Still
Missing.

Joseph Greene, father of Harry
Greene, the young man who commit
ted suicide on farm north of Daven-
port yesterday, arrived from Hudson,
Iowa, this morning to take charge of
the body.
According to the boys father, Harry
left his home in Hudson Dec. "a,
and since that time no word had been
received from him until the telegram
from the Davenport police announcing
his suicide was received.
The father declared that the reason
for the sons rash act was as much q
mystery to him as it was to the po-
lice. Neither could he throw any light
on the identity of the mysterious "Ha-
Zel' mentioned in the young mans
farewell note.
1t is generally presumed that young
Greene must have met the woman
mentioned some time during the in
terval between the time he left home
and last May, when he came to Daye1-
port. Where he was during this in
terval is unknown. John Wiese, on
whose farm the young man worked up
until the time of his death, declares
that he is certain that Greene must
have met the mysterious Hazel"
prior to coming to Davenport Mr.
Wiese is positive that the youth went
with no woman by that name while
in his employ.

MAY WITHDRAW
HUMANE OFFICER
Lack Of Funds of Rock Island
County Society May Cause
Position to Be Vacated.

At a meeting Of the Rock Island
County Humane society held at the
Association house, G37 Seventeenth
street last evening il was reported
that the collections for the past month
have been so small that it may be
necessary to withdraw the humane Of
ficer, Writ Taylor. The officers SAL
airy is month in arrears and there is
at present a balance in the treasury
of only $50, money insufficient to meet
the everyday expenses attached to the
society. In view of the fact that the
maintaining Of a humane officer has
salutary effect upon drivers in the
treatment of their horses and of all
persons in the treatment of those
weaker than themselves, an effort
should be made to retain such al Off
Ger. During the month just passed the
officer has had very busy time be-
cause of the great amount CT street
work that is being done where large
numbers of horses are used in heavy
work every day, and because of the
intense heat under which they work.

The work has been unusually heavy
during the month on account of the
street work, which, being done at so
many different places, in different d.
rectiCns, has necessitated much walk
ing for the officer, and our heaviest
work is in the hottest weather. We
owe much to the public in every walk
Of life for their hearty cooperation,
and we would express our apprecia-
! ton Of the fact that in most cases the
/ compliments cheerfully give their
names and addresses, thus enabling us
TO report TO them and secure addition

/ In many cases they do not wish TO
have their names used, and we have
+ always respected their wishes in the
matter. but knowing who they are, we
are able to advise with them. and they
have the knowledge that the society is
doing what il can. and the result OF
the efforts put forth. The society is
not here to persecute anyone, but il is
here to prevent cruelty and abuse Of

mails, and 10 prosecute offenders II

PLEA FOR SHADY HIGHWAYS
Our Public Roads Should be Broader
and Trees Should be Planted Be-
side Them.

Editor Of The Watchman and South
ron:
In recent number of your paper
there is an article stating that in New
YORK in conjunction with their road
building their highways are beautified
by extensive tree planting. With our
people we not only do not plant the
trees, but by the system Of road
working now instituted, the few beau
tiful shade trees left on our thorough
fares are rapidly being destroyed l
cite an instance on the Statebure
road to Sumter, between the Frierson
homestead and the Stateburg church,
there is stretch Of road that was but
"a few years ago beautiful with shade
trees, grand trees, the growth of a
century or more are left standing on
pitiful little block OF earth, deep
bitches cut almost to their trunks on
each side, probably doomed to die be-
fore another summer passes.
Our TOduWayS were ample ana
broad, now they are narrowed to the
least possible width, the old ditcnes
we'll defined are disregarded and
deep bitches cut we'll within the
former road limits; if ever we needed
broad roads it is now that the advent
Of the automobile renders narrow
road not only inconvenIent, but an
actual menace to the safety, both
Of the motorist and the driver of
horses.
The land owners are quick to ap-
propriate these many feet of public
road thus thrown into disuse, this
strip Of land which could be utilized
for tree growth is at once cleaned Off

Tillman Discusses Wilson'S Plan To
Spend Much Time at Capitol.

rumor that President Wilson will
freely make use of the President
room, on the Senate side Of the Capi.
tol building, spending time there daily
in order to be close to Congress while
Administration measures are being
considered, Senator Tillman, Of South
Carolina, said today:
Much will depend on what he
comes tor. If he comes to advise
with us, we shall be glad to have him;
if he comes to dictate to us, as 1 do
not believe he would, we should not
want him here. When he has an op-
portunity to study conditions at a
closer range, l think he will change
his mind about coming"
Senator Fletcher, of Florida, said
he thought the idea Of the President
making free use Of the room in the
Capitol was an excellent one. Most
Of the Senators were chary of discus
