Mgr. Robert Hugh Bensons historical

curious exclamation that was so fre-
Quently In the mouth of King Charles

INTERESTING NOTES
| FROM WASHINGTON

Washington, Aug. 2o-tSpeci-
aD. AS might have been expect
ed, work on many important
waterway projects is being sus-
pended, the men employed laid
off and in some cases machinery
is already showing signs OF rust
and disintegration because of the
failure Of Congress to pass the
pending river and harbor bill
When the estimates of the Engi-
neer Corps were submitted to the
Committee on Rivers and Har-
bors OF the House early in the
present session, Gall money bills
having to originate III that body,
under the ConStitution), they
were based on the assumption
that there would be a river and
harbor act each year, the act
passed during the long session to
become law not later than June
30, and that passed during the
short session to become a law not
later than March I.
Now that Congress has seen
fit to put off the passage of the
annual river and harbor bill, at
least up to the present, there is
nothing left rto the Enginee
Corps in charge Of the several
works on rivers and harbors but
to suspend operations, where
there is no money available to
Icontinue such operations, dis
rupt the forces and lay up the
machinery, which, according to
expert testimony, is much more
costly than when said machinery
is in operation.
| Should Congress adjourn
without passing a river and har-
Dor bill, it would seriously
handicap at least one-thlrd of the
projects carried in the bill and i'll
many cases work would have to
come to a completce standstlll,
thereby entailing a positive loss
of time and serious lntcrte-
renee to navigation which works
a decided hardship to both ship
pers and consumers.
Twenty millions of dollars in
national bank notes every twen-
tv-four hours is the record of the
production of the Bureau ol

rcncv thus issued being author
ized by the Aldrich-Vreland bill

the Treasury, in an emergency
to accept state, municipal and in
dustrial bonds as security for ma

people are talking war news, and
the prospects OF the mines re-

Quite an acreage Of strawber-

We learn with sadness that
some one has cut the fence OF
Mr. Hawthorn. They did it in
the night while he watched over
sick daughter and a dead
grand-chlld. They chose dark
ness rather than light, because
their deeds were evil.

From figures submitted by for
ty dealers to the Department of
Agriculture, a milk bottle will
last from SIX to fifty trips, the
average being % I-2 trips. If
these estimates represent aver
age conditions, the average deal
erS would have to obtain a new
supply of bottles every 22 1-2
days. If he delivers 10000 bot
ties day and they cost him !, I-2
cents each, his daily expense for
bottles would be $500 or $5,-
575.75 year, which is going
some.
In the opinion OF the Depart
ment not all of these bottles are
lost or broken; many of them
have merely strayed. Some OF
the bottles get into the hands OF
other dealers and some are
dumped into the ash barrel
which has suggested that milk
bottle clearing houses be estab-
hshed i'll the large cities in order
that the losses in bottles NAV be
reduced to the minimum.

worried statesman during the
first week OF the war horror in
Europe. Mrs, James is among
those Americans marooned
somewhere on the disturbed con-
tinent. Mrs. James has given
her husband great concern for a
long time, for she was in very
precarious health for months al
ter he reached the lime light"
stage. 1t was, in fact. only last
winter that she seemed to regain
her normal strength and spirits
and her trip to Europe was to
recuperate from the rather siren
eous months of the social life

No bidders have come forward TO
highway construction throughout the

law. All contracts are to be let by
for bids on jobs in many
counties, same to be opened yesterday.
Contracts were awarded in seven coun-
ties. Rock Island being not among
them. Offers to do the work in other

Outstanding here is that bids for the
proposed three sections of road in

SANFORD WAVES
FURTHER HEARING
White Arrested With Negro for
Burglary Charge Does Not
Take Stand in Own Behalf.

A complete surprise came this morn
ing when Louis Sanford, charged with
having burglarized the Peoples Power
company vault, waived further pre-
liminary examination.
Tuesday afternoon, when the attor-
neys for Sanford attempted to place
on the stand Brooks Johnson. colored,
arrested at the same time, they were
frustrated in their plan. They then
asked for a continuance to prepare
their defense and it was thought that
they would place Sanford on the stand
today. but this did not happen.
This morning, however. they waived
further examination and Sanford was
held to the grand jury in bonds in the
sum of 81 900. An effort is being made
to secure his bail.

and half. Judge f. C. Graves has
patiently listened to citations of au-
thority and lengthy discussions as TO
the sufficiency of the Is true bills re-
turned in the investigation, under
taken by Special States Attorney
George W. Wood.
Not only has the legality of the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Wood been attacked
on the ground that the court had not
authority to make such an appoint
ment, without an investigation in the
merits of the claims set up in the petit
ton OF the grand jury asking the ap-
pointment, but also because there is
no such office as special states attor-
ney and that Mr.. Wood was in fact
selected as states attorney. super
ceeding the regularly elected state s
attorney, at least with reference to the
matters to be investigated.
II is the contention OF the prosecu-
ton that the legality OF Mr. Woods
appointment cannot be questioned in
this action but that quo warranto is
the proper proceeding.
