TO INVESTIGATE
The OLD WAGNER
Place Has Long Had Bad Name
and Late Developments
Prompt Eastman.

Investigation of conditions in the old
Wagner opera house building on Sec
ond avenue and Nineteenth street was
ordered by Commissioner z. l.. East
man today when he was notified by
the police that they had arrested two
men there following a disturbance in
which an immoral woman is said to
have been involved. One of the men
claimed 10 have been robbed of SIS.
The two men arrested gave their
names to the police as George Schrei
OF Iowa City and Jules Van Lockoff.
The former was fined S5.O5 and the
latter sos by Justice Fred Entrikin
Schrei claimed that he had been
robbed of SIS when questioned by the
police and said that it was the wom-
an who robbed him. He stated that
he was in Moline about a year ago and
while here ran out of money. He was
befriended by the proprietor of the
saloon in the Wagner opera house and
when he reached Davenport yester-
day. travelling with a theatrical COM
pany. he jOUrneyed to Moline to repay
the saloon man the loan. The pro
prietor was not in, however.
In some manner Schrei got into
conversation with Van Locoff Van
Locoff led him up stairs, it is alleged.
and there he met a woman working in
the kitchen above the saloon.
short time later, according to his
story, he discovered that he had lost
SIS in bills and accused the girl OF
stealing the money. A fight between
Van LOGON and Schrei ensued and the
latter claims that his OpDonent used a
club.

Later both participants were arrested.
When questioned regarding the case

TEARNEY IN BALK
ON MESSAGE PAY
League Head Displays Poor
craftsmanship When In
quiry Is Answered.

C. J. Smith yesterday afternoon
sent the following telegram to A X.
Tearney of Chicago, president OF the
Three Eye league, in answer to an in
uuiry as to the sentiment here with
reference to the transfer of fran
chise to the city, presumably from
one of the leagues webbing towns:
What city is surrendering its fran
chise? When do you expect to make
the change? What is the financial con-
dition of the team, etc?'
Inasmuch as it is Mr.. Tearney's
business to keep his circuit intact, and
accordingly the inquiry was purely
business matter affecting the general
ship of the league head, Mr.. Smith
sent his reply collect at the Chicago
end.
Evidently surmising the text of the
answer, when Tearney saw the
charges were assessed against him, he
refused to receive the telegram. Mr..
Smith said he would willingly pay the
charge.
''Mr. Tearney asked me for informa-
ton and l gave it to him. said Mr.
Smith. Baseball is his business. 1t
it not mine. 1t is up to him to keep
his teams working. He has weak
city or two and he wants to shift the
burden to Rock Islcnd for the remain
der of the season. II strikes me that
it is rather late in the season to talk
of transferring a franchise. anyway"
According to rumors, Quincy and
Decatur are the cities that are about
ready to quit the league. 1t has been
reported for weeks that Quincy has
been threatening to surrender its
fanchise, but the league president has
been holding the team there until he
found another location for it.

The silk threads are present. If the

bankers are at once warned to be on

All government notes are printed of
one denomination, four on a sheet,
and are lettered respectively, A, B.,

number. If, when that number is d.

check letter should be A; If two re-
mains, the letter should be B; if three,
then G, and if there is no remainder,

the numbering is wrong and the note
is counterfeit. All denominations
from 81 to $1,000 have been counter

usual method of defrauding when gold
coins are handled is to saw the coins
