THE SUGAR MARKET
Trading In Futures Nesumed for
First Time since the War.

The sugar market displayed decidedly
iirmcr tone yesterday. Al refners eX-

cents. The raw market was active and
1t was reported on good authority that,
following large sales for prompt shipment
at 3.S9 cents late Tuesday. considerable
quantities changed hands at 3.92 cents,
an advance of l-32. The firmness In
sugar is attributed to tho low rate of oper-
atoms at Cuba, which have been keeping
shipments on n limited scale.
Trading in sugar futures was resumed
yesterday for the first time since the sus-

BOOK AGENT Is POSING
AS CENSUS ENUMERATOR

A clever young book agent who
passes as a school census enumeration
till he gains entrance to homes is op-
Grating in Davenport. and no doubt
will visit Rock Island eventually unless
he comes into collision with the po-
lice.
The book agent gradually drops his
steam after he has a chance to get in
side the house and engages the house
wife in conversation. He asks how
many children are in the family. what
their names and ages are, and then
tells the children's mother that he is
selling a book which every school
child ought to have.
The book agent has been taking ages
only to Il years, while the real census
men list up to 21 years.
The bogus census man and book
agent has been reported to the police,
and the authorities are now on the
lockout for him.

OF
HISTORICAL COUP
High Handed Act of Insubordi-
nation by Jessie Fremont
II Years Ago.

st. Louis. Mo-, April 29.-Seventy,
one years have elapsed since an 49,
year-old bride in this city played ire
mendous part in the history of the
United States by intercepting and
Withholding important government or
ders. The history of at least three
states on the Pacific coast hinges
more or less directly upon this act of
characterization, pronounced at the
time, far and wide, as high-handed
but later justified by the ekigencies of
the times The bride was Mrs. Jessie
Benton Fremont, wife of John c..
Fremont. the explorer and statesman,
and daughter of Thomas II. Benton,
for many years a senator from Mis-
souri,.
Early in 1s43 Fremont received
from the United States government
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1914-04-29

scious that his presence in Washing
ton was daily expected.
There was another sensation in
Washington when the expedient prac
ticed by the young bride became
known. 1t was stated that Fremont
would be arrested and court-martialed
as soon as the government could lay
hands upon him and that his wife
might also suffer prosecution. Moth
ing came of these threats, however,
and when the explorer finally did
reach Washington, months later, he
found praise and promotion instead
of prosecution, while his secretary
was regarded as something of hero
inc because of her part in the success
of his expedition.
The Fremont party dragged that
cannon across the
trackless mountains and plains far to
the Northwest, almost to the present
site of Pc tland, Oregon. Returning,
it was conveyed down the eastern
slope of the Sierra Nevada noun
tains to about the point where the
Central Pacific Railway now sur
that range. There, in at
to cross into California, the
expedition was caught by the SHOWS
of winter and the piece had to be
abandoned At Lake Tahoe, nearby,
it rests today-silent memento of a
girls defiance of the government of
the United States.

APPLE CROP LIGHT THIS

According TO those who have given

that the apple crop will be light this
season. Blossoms are not as numer-
Gus as usual. and many OF them are
found to be faulty. What the reason
for this IS not definitely known. Con-
ditions this spring apparently have
been ideal and the winter was not
severe one. However. the drouth OF
last season may have lowered the VI

commission to undertake the second
of his noted expeditions of explora-
ton to the Northwest, then a vast,
uniihabited region, the ultimate des-
tiny of which hung in the balance. In
obedience to ii, he came to st. Louis
from Washington and Immediately set
about Quitting his expedition, with
his young wife acting as his secretary.
1t is a matter of history that during
the first third of the last century
there was a powerful sentiment, both
in and out of congress. against ex-
tending the dominion of the United
States to the Pacific Coast. Such
senators as Webster and Calhoun
were opposed to it and for the
most part were able to influence
congress in their beliefs. On the 9TH
er hand, Senator Benton, following
his first election in 1921, became a
staunch advocate of western eXpan-
sion and was able TO command
large following, through whose efforts
the various expeditions of explora-
ton we're authorized.
In Quitting his expedition, Free
mont took the liberty of adding IL
pound brass howitzer, secured from
the government arsenal at St Louis
upon the representation that he need
ed it as a defense against possible
hostile Indians.
News of this acquisition, it appears,
was carried hastily to Washington,
where the announcement created
of a sensation in govern.
ment circles. The element not es-
pecially friendly to the expedition de-
clared that the taking of cannon into
foreign or neutral territory constitut- /
ed an act of hostility which might
involve the government in grave !
This view appears to !
have been shared by the head of the |
bureau, under whose di- |
rection the explorations were being |
made, for he straightway dispatched |
sealed orders to Fremont at StLouis /
directing him to halt the expedition |
and report forthwith at Washington |
for the purpose of giving an explana-
ion of his action.
Fremont had left st. Louis for the
West in April, shortly before the ar
-ival of these orders, Mrs. Fremont
Is his secretary, being instructed to
open his mail and forward by courier
such documents as appeared impor-
ant. He was still within easy recall,
having proceeded but short distance
Eto what now constitutes Kansas

The young Mrs. Fremont, who was
imbued with the ardor of

expansion, thought she discerned in

o defeat the purpose of the expedition.

OPEN SATURDAY
Equipment Is Being Installed on
Grounds This Week

The equipment of the Laurium play
ground, situated on the corner Of Hec-
la and First streets, is being placed in
position this week and the playground
will be formally opened for the sum
mer season on Saturday, with Miss
Irene Farnham as supervisor All chill
dren in the community are invited to
make use of the playground and par
ents are assured that while there the
children will be removed from harmful
influences.
The playground equipment consists
of twelve swings some Of the chair
variety, others, rope swings, one cir
cular swing, slides, tetter-totter and
sandboX. There also is first class
baseball diamond suitable for games
of indoor-outdoor baseball. The
ground also provides an excellent OPP
portunity for other games, many of
which are devised and given to the
children every year by the supervisor.
Although there is an unmistakable
! sentiment in Laurium in favor of "A
/ larger park and playground combined,
it is doubtful If such an institution
would prove an adequate substitute
for the playground already in opera
| ton, and which has been in operation
| for several seasons. Although the
ground is not large, it has sufficient
size to accommodate large number
| OF children. and has the added advant-
age Of being situated right whore the
| playground is most needed i'm con-
gested district. Within an area of
| half a dozen blocks from the play
! ground are perhaps four hundred chill
drcn, many Of whom could not find
| their way unaccompanied to a play
| ground further away. II is the natural
inclination of the child to want to play
near home according TO those who
have made study OF the playground
| plan and the Laurium playground
meets this need i'm the First street dis
| trct. There are a large number OF
children in this vicinity who live in
/ flats and store buildings ana have nc
J other place to play but the street. n,
, them the playground is of great bene-
| fit.
Playground association workers will
! glady cooperate In the establishment
Of a larger park and playground else
where i'm Laurium, but there is littl,
that they would strenuously oppose the
abandonment of the playground which
has proved so successful during the
last few seasons.
