INQUEST RESULTS
IN OPEN VERDICT
Russell Morgan's Death, How
ever, Due to Drowning,
Say Physicians.

A coroner's jury in Chicago yester-
day afternoon failed to solve the mys-
terry surrounding the death of Russell
Morgan, son of William R. Morgan,
superintendent of the Deere Harvester
company here. The younger Morgan
met death by drowning in the lake a
couple of days ago, his body being
found in a battered and bruised con-
dition. 1t is thought that suicide had
been committed and physicians testi-
fed that objects in the water with
which the body might have come in
contact could have caused the bruises
and battered condition of the dead
man. Physicians also testified that
death had been caused by drowning,
but owing to the fact that there was
not sufficient evidence at hand the jury
returned an open verdict.
Russell Morgan left mis- Moline home
April 10 for the purpose of going to
Rochester, Mimi, to undergo an opera
ton for ear trouble. He had suffered
from this cause for some time and the
trouble brought on dependency.

FAVORED BY PASTORS

The Moline Ministerial union at
Mondays meeting here went on record
as favoring the establishment of a
unique system for teaching religion to
the children in the public schools Fol-
lowing the reading of paper on Re
ligious Education" by Miss Violet
Roberts came a discussion of the ad-
visibility of establishing a system here
whereby all pupils in the grade school
are To have one-half day each week
for the study of religion. 1t would be
compulsory for the pupils to go to the
various churches and competent teach
ers would be engaged by the institu-
tions to teach religion.
There are certain cities throughout
the United States where this system
is practiced and Rev. A. F. Bergstrom,
pastor of the Swedish Lutheran church
was appointed to take the matter up
locally with the board of education.
If satisfactory arrangements can be
made the system will be inaugurated
in Moline next year Other business
transacted was of minor Importance.
