APPEAL MAYSTOP
VOTE ON SALOONS
Judge Olmsted Intimates in
Coal Valley Case Ruling Can
not Be Complied With.

From all indications the local op
ton question will not be placed on the
ballot at the approaching election in
Coal Valley. An appeal from the de-
cision of Judge r. W. Olmsted, who
granted a writ of mandamus to com
pei Robert McGimpsey. town clerk, to
put the saloon issue On the ballot, has
been taken which cannot be passed on
by the higher court until the election.
The effect of the appeal was discuss
ed this morning by Judge Olmsted with
S. r. Kenworthy for the petitioners,
James Sackville, ct al, and ]. L..
Haas for the defendant. Mr.. Kenwor-
thy urged that if the appeal be grant
ed il be with the under landing that
il does interfere with making local
option an issue in the election at Coal
Valley. The court intimated, however.
that. an appeal in this kind of case,
as in all others, would necessarily act
as a stay OF proceedings until the
higher court had an opportunity to
pass on the question. and therefore the
ruling of the circuit court could not be
with until after the APP
preaching election, which would null
lily the effect of the ruling

LOCAL HISTORY
TAUGHT PUPILS
Rock Island County Society De-
cides to Furnish Leaflets
for Textbooks.
PLAN MEETING APRIL Ia
Another Speaker In Addition to Mrs.
Palmer. State Secretary,
Will Be Secured.

At the suggestion OF the Rock Is
land County Historical society a spe
cIal effort will be made to interest
the pupils of the city public schools in
the history of the locality in which
they have their homes. With this end
in view a leaflet bearing on the his
tory connected with Rock Island will
be written and placed in the text
books of the pupils. This action was
taken at a meeting of the board of the
Historical society held last evening
following a dinner at the Rock Island
club. s. w. Searle and w. A. Meese
compose a committee that will have
in hand the placing OF the leaflets in
the books.
Rock Island and the immediate To-
cality is rich IN history connected
with the Indian wars aside from the
history that surrounds the early set
tiers and the location OF the Rock Is
land arsenal and Fort Armstrong.
This phase OF the city's history is not
fully covered IN the general history
that is taught in the public schools
and for this reason the society feels
that special efforts should be made TO
impress the children with its import
ance.
Plans were also discussed for the
annual meeting OF the society which
will be held at the Rock Island club
April II, when Mrs. Jessie Weber
Palmer, state secretary OF the Illinois
Historical society, will deliver the
principal address. A committee COM
posed OF Phil Mitchell. ]. II. Hauberg
and w A Meese WAS appointed to
secure one other speaker for this time
and Mrs. L. Simon and Mrs. X. T. An
derson are a committee TO arrange
for musical numbers.
Seek Room for Relics.
The matter of procuring space In
the court house for the exhibition OF
the society's historical collection was
also taken up. A committee to in
vestigate the placing OF the collection
reported some time since that the
relics would be placed in the corridor
on the third floor OF the court house.
but on further consideration that
place was considered too public for so
valuable a collection and a further eff
fort will be made to procure a room in
the court house where the relics may
be properly safeguarded.
The society has in its possession
quite an elaborate and valuable col
lection OF relics connected with the
early history OF Rock Island county
and many others have been promised
when a proper place TO keep them has
been procured.
The board also decided to proceed

Said TO Have Ignored Order to Testify
Concerning Local Graft
Conditions.

An important witness before the
grand jury this afternoon is Mrs.

eral days, has completed his testi-
mony and it is said that. as antici-
pated, he did not divulge any sensa-

are alleged to have said that States
Attorney F. f. Thompson had filed
81 informations in county court
against Rice for the purpose of caus-
ing him to flee before he had an op-
portunity to be summoned before the
body to discuss corruption charges.
Rice was finally located in Davenport
and agreed to return TO face the jur.
IL the county prosecutor would max,
his fines light in county court. A.
cordingly Mr.. Thompson had Rice
plead guilty to five informations
filming him 800 on each and then
Rice appeared before the jury but
thus far there are said TO have been
no disclosures of any interest what
ever, duplicating any officials in
graft.
