side is in sight. Three more days

He charged that the Chicago board was
managed by few large operators, Ar
mou-s. Peavy, Rosenbaum and others.

ing of wheat operations in the pit,

Father Is Still Bitter.
"All l want is 10 be left alone with
the mnn who killed my little girl" :"
he said gr:mly. 80 trial will be
necessary"
The father is still bitter in his talk
about Petras.
Some one put a wire across the
sidewalk near that same cemetery
gate" he said. THAT was a month
ago. I think il was meant to trip
her. but she was with Feltner and
they noticed it in time.
Il told Theresa not TO go with Pet
ras any more. / said he had been
going with other women and she told
me she wouldn't see him again and i
beifeved her"
Il IS apparent Miss Hollander had
been meeting some one. II was her
custom to leave the meetings Of the
Knights and Ladies of Honor at ex-
actly O'Clock. This was the hour
when Petras left his night school. II
was seldom she returned home before
II p. m. and the police are trying to
find out where she was in the mean
time.
Betrothed Man Is DlseonsoIate.
Nicholas Feltner, whom Miss Hol-
lander was to marry March 5. her
goth birthday. roamed around the
house all day. Several time he broke
down.
This isn't much like the dreams I've
had" he said. II wish IL could prove
a nightmare and l could wake and
find it untrue. Why only few hours
before she was killed we were out
walking and planning for the wedding.
1T doesn't seem that any human be-
ing could have killed her. She was
so sweet and gentle. She never hurt
any one. I accuse no one of the muir
der. / can't see who could do it,
Petras Denies Interference.

Petras had tried to stop her marriage
70 Feltner. This attempt is supposed |
20 have been made in the quarrel on
the way to tine lodge meeting Monday !
evening. Petras denies any such at !
tempt and says he did not care whom I
the girl married.
And he didn't either" said Mrs. /
Petras. He loved me and we were ]
very happy together. OF course he /
went with Theresa once. but / guess /
every boy has gone with lots OF girls /
before picking any one to marry. It's /
very cruel and unjust He was home
with me whgn they say the girl was
murdered and We can prove it when
the time comes"

GIVEN S7,OO0,OOO
FOR LEvEE WORK
Rivers and Harbors Bill Carries
Immense Sum for River
Cities.
Especial to The Argus.)

Washington, Feb. 19-As a result of
the efforts of eight or ten Illinois,
Iowa and Missouri congressman and a
host of other river enthusiasts, an ap-
preparation Of 100000 is carried in
the rivers and harbors bill this year
for the first time for the building and
maintenance of levees between the
mouth of the Mississippi river and
Rock Island.
1t is estimated this will mean the
reclaiming of 100000 acres of rich
land that has heretofore been flood
territory.
Heretofore appropriations for levees
have been confined to that section of
the river between the gulf and Cape
Girardeau, Mo, just north of Cairo.
Last year the congressman repre-
senting each side of the river between
Cape Girardeau and Rock Island made
a determined fight to have the juris-
diction of the Mississippi river COM
extended from Cape Girardeau
to Rock Island so that their constitu-
ents might be protected as well as tLs
people and property south of Cape
oTlTarQ0du.
This year the same congressman,
with The aid of Speaker Champ Clark,
went to the front again. Representa-
tives Lloyd of Missouri, Tavenner of
Illinois and Kennedy of Iowa, worked
with determination to have their dis
tricts provided for, and they had SO
many sympathizers with their view
point among the members of the house
that serious opposition to the entire
bill threatened unless the northern
limit of the levee zone was extended
from Cape Girardeau to Rock Island.
The committee yielded, and not only
will the territory between Cape Gil
rardeau and Rock Island get it's pro-
portionate share of the $1,000, 900 for
levees this year, but the COMMITTEES
pledged itself to make the
an annual one.
