BASKET TRICK is STARTLING
Formerly Done by indian Fakirs. But
Recently Western Masieians Have
Adopted IT,

One OF the most startling OF az
tie exhibitions given by the stage
mag ician is the basket trick. For
merly IL was done only by the expert
Indian fakirs. but In recent years
western magiclans also have done II.
A child is placed in a basket In front
OF the spectators Then the magi'
elan thrusts his sword through the
basket again and again, drawing II
out covered with blood. The child
screams frantically for some time and
then stops-as II u had been killed.
When the basket is opened II is found
to be empty and the child appears
suddenly among the spectators. All
this IL dune with such an aspect OF
reality that II often frightens the tim
i'd ones among the crowd. and yet II
is simple enough.
One side of the basket is double
After closing the basket the magi'
clan pretends to turn II over on its
side He really turns over only one
part OF IT, The bottom and one thick
ness OF the double side are left AS
they were. the other thickness be-
comes the bottom Of the basket in
its new position. what was the oppo-
site side of this becomes the top
and the old bottom is left lying free
upon the ground. with the child upon
II. outside the basket. But this old
bottom ard the child upon il are now
under the robe OF the magician. While
the magician is turning the basket
back to its original position and run
ming his sword through 1t the child
escapes into the crowd The blood
on the sword is from a sponge In the
basket.

AUTOMATIC QUITS
DAVENPORT WORK
Laying of Phone Conduits Sus
pended When City Ordered
Better Construction.

Davenport is wondering if the Tri
City Home Automatic Telephone com
pany has withdrawn from the field. Fol
more than two weeks work has been
discontinued on the laying of con-
Quits there and city officials have been
unable to obtain any statement from
officers of the company, it is claimed.
Contractors have been ordered to pro-
coed with the paving of streets in
which conduits were to have been laid.
Davenport, it appears, declined to
stand for the sort of construction
which was permitted in Rock Island
last winter. The company ordered
and had delivered material enough to
put down five or six miles of conduits
and last spring starred the W. rk. juno
II j. w. Crowley, commissioner of pub
lie works, notified the representatives
of the phone company that construc-
ton was not up to the standard and
that unless changes were made the

work would not be permitted to con.
tinue. He claimed that the conduits
were being laid in trenches which were
entirely too shallow and insisted that
the tunnel was too close to the surface.
The phone company was advised that
unless the conduits were laid in con-
crete or the trenches dug deeper, the
work could not go on. They were also
advised that the materials used were
far below grade.
Commissioner Crowley never receiv-
ed an answer to his communication. All
attempts to reach phone company Off
GERS over the telephone have also prov
en- fruitless.
Thus far less than mile of conduit
has been laid, and for the greater part
of the season, only six or eight men
were engaged in the construction work.
The material remains where it was,

streets and alleys in places. Nothing
further has been done in Rock Island

going on with the work her. this sea-
