Senator Edmunds 5 opinion in oppo-
sition to the antitrust legislation
pending in the United States Senate is
likely to be given false value on
both sides. Those opposed to the meas
ures will probably make more of the
utterance than Senator Edmunds would
like to have them make Those in ia
y0r of the measures are many of them
too young to know who George F. Ed
munds was, and will say that his words
are the utterances of one who has lost
touch with the times. In reality they
ought to be given the weight due tc
the words of man of surprisingly
keen mind and unparalleled expert
ence whose sympathies relate to the
past rather than to the future.

SERUM TO OFFSET
BLOOD CLOTHING
DIR. Arp Said Gripp Lad Gould
Have Been Saved With
Such a Fluid.

DIR. \. II. Arp stated today that num-
erous lives coud he saved If a serum
could he discovered which would stop
the CLOTHING of blood in people who
have apparently been drowned. With
the aid of the pulmotor he says that
respiration could be affected and even
after a person had been in the water
for a period of 80 minutes or more
they could be saved.
This statement was prompted by
the recent drowning OF John Gripp.
the 14-year-oid Moline boy. who met
his death in the waters of the Missis-
sippi while fishing last Monday after
noon. The doctor stated that when the
lad was removed from the water his
pulse was still beating slightly though
he was apparently dead. An hours
work over him with the pulmotor
failed 10 bring him 10 life owing TO the
fact that his blood had clothed and
for this reason il was impossible to
make it run freely through the body.
The doctor cites the case of the re-
cent near drowning of a 1O-year-old
Lad who was taken from the river af-
ter having been under water for more
than half an hour. The skin oil. the lad
had almost turned black. but after
working over him for a long time with
the pulmotor he was saved and within
two weeks was himself again.
Physicians of the entire world are
now seeking TO produce a serum which
will prevent the CLOTHING of blood.

Former Moliner, Now Vice Con-
sui General, Writes to
Local Friends.

William A. Meese has just received
a letter of considerable interest to Mo
liners, written by Dewitt c. Poole, Jr.,
formerly of this city, and now vice
consul general in Paris, France, for the
United States government The letter
in part follows:
Il was recently in the United
States for the first time in three
years and was planning to visit Mo-
line when the European war broke

/ am now stationed as vice consul
general l left Madison, Aug. ., for
Washington and there received orders
to sail on the ship. We left Boston
navy yard Friday, the Sth, and are
now about half way to England, where
we touch first. The exact port at
which we are going to touch in Eng
land is kept secret and our movements
after that are still undetermined.
How l shall get to Paris l do not
know, but expect to make it one way
or another. Ten other consuls are
on board bound for as many posts.
The North Carolina is an armored
cruiser designed as a commerce de-
stroyer and accordingly capable OF
considerable speed. A day and half
out from Boston we intercepted wire
less messages between the German
cruisers and shortly afterward be-
tween British cruisers.
The only other evidence of war
which we had was the sight of a
British cruiser yesterday. She bore
down on us for awhile and then ap-
parently recognized our nationality,

Completion.

Literally bushels OF fried chicken
were consumed yesterday at the Rural

ness men who had contributed for the
building of the road were guests.
Dinner was late because the band,
which started from Moline in a hack,
took the wrong road and was lost in
the hills for a couple of hours. The
feast was postponed till it arrived.
Nearly 300 were fed and there was
provender enough for more.
Twenty automobiles went from Mo
line and they followed the new road,
though it was in bad condition after
the rain. After the dinner there was
music and a program of addresses pre-
sided over by Rev Mr.. Johnson of
Sherrard as POSTMASTER.
The subject under discussion was
good roads in general and the new road
in particular. \ number of the speak
ers commented upon the desira bility of
a system of hard roads in the county
and commended the proposed million
dollar bond issue as a means of secur
ing such highways. The speakers in

Mary has served terms in practically

Urged the officials TO let her leave the
hospital with him, and he would give
her a job in his Moline store. But
knowing the fickleness of Mary and
the ultimate result OF such action. the
officials demurred, and so Mary stayed
at Watertown.

But since that time it is said she has

with her Moline lover, and last night
she made her escape, presumably to
join him. This morning they were
seen in Moline on a street car, but
their identity was not known by the
motorman or conductor.
Mary was arrested here during July

who said he intended to wed her. He
still avowed his intention when she
was arrested-she had only recently
escaped from the Geneva home for
girls-but when the officials told him
something of Mary's fickleness. of her
many broken engagements, he lost his
