Developments Show That Dahlen Bur-
glary is One OF Series Commit
tedO BY Dope Fiends.

Developments show that the bur-
glary of the Dahlen drug store, Thir-
tieth street and Fifth avenue, Thurs
day night, was one of a series which
has occurred in Rock Island within
the last month perpetrated by dope
tiends, desperate for drugs of which
the Harrison law deprives them.
Cocaine, opium and morphine to the
value Of S25 was taken from the Dab :
len store. A small amount of cash is
missing and there is no question but
that dope was the object of the
burglary.
Other drug stores have been bur-
glarized and drugs taken. No clews
were left and no arrests were made In
each job large quantity of drugs was
missed. Since the Harrison law be-
came effective in December, 1914, dope
fiends have resorted to numerous
ruses and have committed crimes to
get the drugs which the law prevents
them from securing except when they
have physicians prescription. In the
past doctors and dentists Offices have
been entered, but 1t has only been re-
Gently that fiends have attempted to
break into pharmacies to satisfy the
habit TO which they are addicted.

feast finds expression even in the
specific food.
The Haggadah, the order OF the
domestic service, read on the night
when the family gathers about the
common table. comprises the nara
tive Of the exodus from Egypt, the
account Of the oppression which the
ancient Israelites endured, and is not
without It's covert illusions to the pa
thetio story OF Israel in more recent
times in the midst of the unkind ma
tons. The Haggadah also includes a
special group of psalms (CXIII-
CNVIID and a number Of medieval
poems.
The Passover is the most ancient OF
the Jewish holidays and perhaps the
most ancient Of all holidays in the his
tory Of religion, and no holiday is SO
near to the truth of human life as
it IS.
The favorite book for reading dur
ing the Passover week is the Song
Of Songs" 1t is the most classical
song of love in canonized literature
and is read on this festival because,
according to the traditional view, It
bespeaks the love between God and
Israel.

Summary:
Strong In Milwaukee.

In Wisconsin the president received
$4,000 votes in the city of Milwaukee,
and about 100000 votes in Milwaukee
county. The total vote polled by the
president was almost as large as the
combined votes cast for the LaFol-
lette and Philip candidates for dele
gates-at-large to the republican con-
vention.
Henry c. Campbell. editor Of the
Milwaukee Journal, in letter to
Secretary Tumulty, characterized the
showing as remarkably good"
The following is quoted from tele-
gram from George H. HerZog, chair
man of the democratic committee, Ra-
cine county, Wisconsin:
Wilson polled heavy vote here to-
day. Surprised our opponents. Got
500 more votes than either LaFolIette
or Phillip faction. Presidents vote
in Racine county will exceed $500.
No strife on our side. VIII sweep state
in November"
"A telegram from Frank B. Shut,
chairman of the democratic central
committee, Wisconsin, says:
Extend congratulations to the pres
ident for remarkable primary vote
Wisconsin Tuesday. Milwaukee coun-
ty, eight precincts missing $4,000

Quoted from the Milwaukee Jour
nal:
AT Fort Atkinson, Wis, the center
Of strong German settlement, Presi-
dent Wilson, on the democratic ticket
received 500 votes, while Senator La
Toilette received but 1856 votes on the
republican preference ballot"
"kewaunee, Wisconsin-the town Of
Red River, republican stronghold In
this county, gave President Wilson As
votes in the presidential preference

ceived in any previous election there

PUBLIC TREND IS
WITH PRESIDENT
Interesting Facts Developed In Con-
nection With Primaries in Several
Of the States.
SHOWING HELD SIGNIFICANT
Wilson Vote in Chicago Greater Than
That Received by Five of Repub-
lican Candidates.

Washington, D. c., April 15.--Infor-
nation has been received in wash
ington showing the result Of many
interesting polls made recently in var
ious parts of the United States, indi-
eating a decided trend toward Presi-
dent Wilson.
The vote for President Wilson in
the Wisconsin, Minnesota and Illinois
primaries is the subject Of special
comment These states have hereto
fore been considered republican, but
the strong run of President Wilson in
primaries in which no special effort
was made to bring out the democratic
vote, while republicans were active
because of party contests, Is consid-
cred very significant.
The Chicago vote Is especially
striking. In the presidential prefer
ence primary Wilson received 79,39S
votes, while the combined vote for
Sherman, Roosevelt, Hughes, Root and
Thompson was 1858.
In a letter from James NJ. Price
Bergville, Mimi, is found the follow
ing:
THE president carried thsi district
at the late primaries over the COM
bined vote of all the republican candf-
dates by 679 votes"

Popular Among Women.
The president received 16 more
votes than Hughes and Roosevelt
combined The Portland Oregonian
says in commenting on this poll:
"One outstanding fact emphasized
by the straw vote was Mr.. Wilson's
| obvious popularity amonp the women.
Considerably more than half the wom-
en- who voted expressed preference for
Mr. Wilson. This was true notwith-
standing the fact that large major
| ity of these women had registered as
republicans.
The Oregonian is one Of the lead
ing republican papers in the north
west. In commenting on this poll in
letter Joseph N. Teal says:
THE registrationin this country is
about 312 to l republican. This straw
ballot shows several important facts.
Out of SIS voters expressing prefer
ence for a democrat, 813 were for Mr.
! Wilson. This indicates substantial
unanimity amongst the democrats. The
total voters expressing a preference
were 1892 Of these 864 expressed a
preference for some republican, S1S
| for some democrat, a republican ma
jority Of but 46. The majority of
women expressed their preference for
Mr.. Wilson. The significance of this
test vote lies in the fact that this
county and state are both overwhelm-
ingly republican, and the result of the
test is really startling"

Endorsed Over State.

In Ozaukee county the president re-
ceived 973; while in this county La
Toilette received 730 votes, and
Roosevelt 8. In Green county the
president was given 700 votes; Sena-
tor LaFollette, 1896. This is normally
republican county. In commenting
on this, the Milwaukee journal says:
Few of the counties reporting cleo
ton returns have compiled the results
of the presidential primary, but such
that President Wilson received gen.
eral Endorsement throughout the state,
This appears to be the case regardless
Of the locality whence the vote is re-
ported"
In a poll taken recently by the Ma
ton, a super-critical periodical read
by the literary and intellectual class
es, the president in nationwide poll
is shown to be greatly in the lead.
Accordingly, says the Nation, the
returns as to preference for 1916 may
be stated as follows:

PASSOVER OLDEST
JEWISH HOLIDAY
Begins Monday and Continues Eight
Days Concentrating Freedom
From Bondage.
SPEAKS FOR sANCTITY OF HOME
Ritual Symbolizes Facts OF Human
Experience in All Conditions
of Life.

Pesach or the feast of the Passover
begins Monday evening, April II, and
is observed for seven days by reform
and eight days by orthodox Jewish
congregations.
1t is the first festival of emancipa-
ton in the history Of civilization, Its
commemoration is based on the bibli-
cal narrative which tells how the
people of Israel enslaved in Egypt
were led from bondage TO freedom by
the great leader Moses.
The Passover festival speaks for
the sanctity of the home as well as
for self-respect and liberty The
Jews accordingly assemble in their
homes on this festival, and signalize
it by a solemn service in which the
story Of the ancient struggle for
emancipation is recounted with pious
fervor. This Seder, as it is called, is
unique in spirit and form. 1t is ear
nest and yet happy, and its ritual,
though archaic, symbolizes the facts
of human experience in all conditions
of life. The roasted bone reminiscent
of the paschal lamb of the first Pass
over; the bitter herbs calling to mind
the hard labor Of the Israelitish
slaves; the unIeavened bread, known
as the bread Of affHction.' symbolic
ing the hasty departure from Egypt;
the roasted egg, recalling the individ-
ual sacrifice which was offered in the
temple; the mixture Of grated apple,
nuts and wine, suggesting the clay
from which bricks were made by the
enslaved people, and the parsley and
salt water, symbolic of growth and
the fertilizing freshness of spring, in
vest the domestic ceremony with a
real and forceful meaning. A beauti-
full and most suggestive part of the
service is the Open Door, through
which the messianic prophet Elijah
enters every home that night, a splen-
did expression OF the great ideal
which the prophets Of Israel an
nounced will become real some day
when men will cease to hate and be-
gin to do justice

MILD WEATHER CONTINUES
 WITH NO SIGNS OF WINTER

Although no records have been broken so far. the mild weather of the present month is the subject of much comment. It is seldom that temperatures such as have been the rule recently are experienced so late in the fall in this section of Alaska, or in fact in many other sections.
 So far, with the exception of on the ad- joining hills there has been no snow, and the frost has not yet been severe enough to seriously interfere with mining opera tions While several of the plants have been closed down for the season, 1t has not been due to weather conditions and unless there is a sudden change, the season of 1916 promises to go on record as one of the longest open seasons in the history of the camp.
 The Iditarod river boats have mostly been in winter quarters for some time past. But it merely for lack of business There are several craft on the lower river yet, and these apparently will have plenty of time to reach here prior to the freeze-up. The river usually has been closed by ice by about the 18th of October, but there have been times when the freeze-up came much later than this Old-timers recall the trip made by local men to St. Michael in 1912, when they left here October p.

DEATH OF FRED ANDERSON
 ON NORTH FORK OF INNOKO

News reached Iditarod yesterday of the death of Fred Anderson an old-t!mer of the North, which occurred at the scene of a recent stampede on the North fork of the Innoko river, where a strike of tGng- sten ore is said to have been made. It is reported that Anderson shortly after his arrival there, severely cut one of his feet with an ax, but although there were no serious complications resulting from that source. it may have weakened his physical condition to such an extent thst ailments from which he had long been sufferer made more progress than would ordinarily have been the case. He was about B years of age.
 Mir. Anderson had been in the North nearly a quarter Of a century, having lived in the Fortymiie district prior to the big rush to the Klondike in 1896, in which he was an early participant, He was also a stampeder to the Fairbanks diggings, and came to this district in the fall Of 1909 with the first contingent of argonauts. In the summer of 1912, when the first en- courasing reports of the Cripple country reached this camp, he joined in the rush, and had since been engaged in placer min ing on Colorado creek, in that district.
 Details regarding his illness and burial are entirely lacking at this time
