CHARGES AGAINST
BATES DISMISSED

Bert Bates, colored. an employee of
the Moline Commercial club. who was
charged by his wife with assault and
battery, was arraigned in police court
this morning before Magistrate Frank
Gustafson and the charges against
him dismissed on his plea of mental
alteration of mind as a result of being
doped.
The story told by the coIored man
was a weird one, but undoubtedly true
for it is backed by reputable witnesses
who testified in his behalf. An I'M
known man, it seems. administered
some sort of a narcotic to Bates in a
bottle of pop. The same person, ac-
cording TO Bates story, later attacked
him in an alley. II was a few minutes
after this that Bates returned to his
home and attacked his wife and sis
ter. The arrest followed and there
was every indication that Bates was
under the influence of some drug

PRESIDENT WILL
AID OCEAN TRADE
Confers With Leading Officials
on Aiding Registry in Case
of European War.

Washington. Aug. President vii
son yesterday discussed with Represen.
tative Underwood, Senator Kern and
Secretary of Commerce Redield meth
DDS of providing for the registration OF
ocean-going vessels under the Ameri-
can flag SO that they MAJ be immune
from capture if a general war is be-
gun in Europe and thus insure to the
United States an avenue of export TO
meet the anticipated demands OF
Europe for American foodstuffs.
This discussion Immediately awak-
ened interest at the capital, where sew
eral members had forseen the serious
consequences of a crippled carrying
fleet and were intent on framing legis-
lation to meet the emergency.
Chairman Adamson of the house
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce believes new legislation both
unnecessary and inadvisable, stating
that the provisions of the Panama
canal act will enable foreign vessels
to gain the sheltering protection of the
American flag. That act provides for
American registration for vessels built
five years and owned and Differed by
Americans.
1t is proposed. among other expedi-
ents, that American registry be opened
to foreign vessels, irrespective of own
ership, provided the foreign vessel re-
tains its registry for a specified num-
Der of years. During that period the
American marine would be reestablish-
ed. The fault found with this plan for
an immediate transfer of flags without
a transfer of ownership is that foreign
nations would object and their pro-
tests might involve the United States
to a limited degree in the European
embroglio.
The Importance of new legislation,
in the event the provisions of the Pan
anna canal act are insufficient, lies in
the fact that the United States will be
barred from exporting it's surplus pro-
ducts unless a sufficient number of
ships can be found flying a neutral and
protected flag. Practically all the
trade is done by the nations
engaged in the European tangle. None
would be immune from seizure and con-
version If war is declared.
II the Panama canal act only is
tNdldDle lLe registration OF any con- |
siderable number of foreign ships will |
require the immediate investment OF !
arge amounts of American capital.
Representatives Underwood and |
of Navigation Chamber
in conferred in the afternoon on the
proposed changes in the law that
American registry could be given to
Oreign-built ships under less stringent
conditions than now exist.
The annual report of the commission
r OF navigation shows that there are
My % ocean-going screw steamers
lying in the Atlantic ocean and Gulf
( Mexico and two in the Pacific.
irave fears are expressed that, what
yer legislation may be enacted will
ot speedily build up the marine neces-
airy TO transport the American trade. /

sistant manager OF the Davenport &
Muscatine and Iowa & Illinois railway,
with headquarters in Davenport, and
his resignation became effective to-
day. Mr.. Ericsson was formerly inspec-
tor OF paving and public Improvements
here and is thoroughly familiar with
his new work
Both Issue Statements.
Both Mr.. Ericsson and Mr.. Anderson
issued statements today, as follows:
Il have the utmost confidence in the
ability of Mr.. Ericsson 10 head the de-
partment of streets and public i'm
provements. He IS fully qualified by
thorough experience and familiarity
with local conditions to fill the Office
with credit to himself and the city Of
Moline. and It is with the sense of sat
isfaction that comes with the knowl-
edge that the man for the place is
my successor. and step out from the
Moline municipal service after con-
nection OF nine years. There are re-
grets at leaving. for the relationships
with the other commissioners, city en-
ployes and the public in general have
been most pleasant.--Clark G. Ander-
son.
Il realize that I am succeeding
most competent man in this important
Office. but in taking up the new respon-
sibilities l do so with the determine
ton TO do the utmost to merit the con-
fidence of the people who have vested
this trust in me. More than that, no
man can DOC. E. Ericsson.
In the spring OF 1905, Mr.. Anderson
received the appointment as city en-
"gineer from Mayor Andrew Olson. He
continued in that Office until the
spring OF 1911, when by vote OF the
people he became the first commits
sioner of streets and public improve
ments in the city.
In the nine years Of Mr.. Anderson's
service for the city he has directed
the expenditure of a total OF 81, SOC, 900
for public improvement work. The
bulk OF this is for paving. When he
became city engineer only 20 per cent
of the area of the city was covered by
sewers. Today so per cent of the city
is so provided. every section in fact,
except that portion which drains south
TO Rock river. To Mr.. Anderson also
must be given the credit for estab-
fishing through improved arteries of
traffic notably Fourth, Fifth and Six
teenth avenues, and Fifteenth street to
Prospect park His greatest work per
haps was the building of Sylvan park
along the river front, with an insight I
ly dumping gruond as the base.
Mr.. Ericsson has been chief inspector !
Of paving under Anderson for the last I,
Lhree years, and the policies of the
TWO men are identical. For two years I.
after 1900 he served as street COM I.

The most recent information and
evidence received regarding Miller's
alleged misdeeds was furnished by his
uncle, Philip Pierson, and his sister,
Miss Melissa Pierson, both residents
of Tiskilwa. They report that Miller
has appropriated and used for his own
benefit $500 their life's earnings.
and that the money is now gone. This
sum was intrusted to Miller for safe
keeping. 1t is estimated that the total
amount of his speculations in which he
lost will reach $4,000.
Played Board Of Trade.
The opening chapter of Miller's
wrongdoing has it's scene in the board
of trade, where he hazarded large
sums in the hope of making money for
himself and being able to return all
left him in trust. But he lost. He
further speculated in an effort to re-
gain his prestige and lost again. u
timately he had plunged in so deeply
that there was no chance for his re-
covery.
Miller is an attorney, IS years Of
age, and has wide reputation, having
practiced his profession for years in
that vicinity. He held himself out to
the public as an investment broker
and his investments at first proved Of
a profitable nature, thus insuring him
a large business. Success, however,
seemingly turned his head, for he took
