LULL COMES IN
THE CAMPAIGN ON
EVE OF VOTING
Party Leaders Are Now
Making Their Plans to
Get Out the Vote Election
Day.

There was a lull in the political
campaign today. the day before cleo
ton, party workers, candidates and
others having completed their person
al work. The rain and snow of last
night and today made work outside
disagreeable and there was little ac-
tivity. The closing rally of the cam
paisn takes place at the Pinney theater
tonight when Governor Alexander
speaks. Indictment weather will inter-
fere with that somewhat. A large
crowd Is expected, however, and there
will be not a little Democratic enthus-
iasm in evidence.
In the downtown business section
the election boards whereon bets are
posted seemed to be the principal at
traction. and yet there was not great
deal of money placed. The partisans
for one candidate or another speculat-
ed on the outcome of the presidential
and gubernatorial race, both Of which
are attracting the greatest interest
So far as the state and county tickets
are concerned the same interest does
not exist. Ada is a strong Republican
county and as the legislative and county
tickets are considered to be the strong
est placed in nomination for years,
what small factional fights there are
on the individual candidates will not
make any material difference.
POLLS OPEN EARLY.
1t is the presidential situation that is
holding the closest attention. The av-
erage Spectator is anxious to get some
clear line on the situation but he is
finding 1t difficult to get 1t from any

When the Verona pulled into her
slip at the Coleman dock, the wharf
was surrounded by policemen, some
armed with shotguns and others with
drawn pistols, and 80 national guards
men, under command of Captain Paul
Edwards. All the guardsmen stood
with fixed bayonets and their belts
filled with ball cartridges.
AS the steamer drew alongside the
pier, Captain OF Police D. F. Willard
shouted to Captain Wiman of the
Verona not to land. Several mem
bers of the Industrial Workers of the
World aboard the boat started to
clambor over the steamers rail, but
the policemen pointed pistols at the
men and compelled them to remain on
the boat.
One gangplanl1 was lowered, and

MEXICAN SERVICE

Several Applications.

Since the acute Mexican situation
has arisen, Sergeant Alex B. Johnson,
in charge of the local army recruiting
station, which is located at the office of
the Illinois Employment bureau, de-
clares that a number of Rock Island
young men have applied to him for
volunteer service.
Sergeant Johnson, not having been
authorized to accept volunteers, was
forced to turn down the applications.
However, he is looking for any who
desire to Join the regulars for the usual
seven-year period, four of which is re-
CURED to be spent in actual service
and the remaining three on the reserve
list, when usual avocations can be fol-
lowed, although subject to call to arms
in case of war.

being Joseph E. Smith, Rock Island,

SCHOOL CAFETERIA
IS TO OPEN MONDAY

Everything is now ready for the
opening of one of the cafeteria at the
Rock Island high school at II O'Clock
next Monday noon. With an $500
equipment and with a bill of fare the
best in quality and the lowest in price
that can be provided, this new feature
of the school will be great step to-
ward supplying all the wants of the
$50 pupils who crowd the commons
during the noon hour.
The installation of the cafeteria
comes as fitting sequel to the recent
continuous program plan which was
authorized by the board of education
at the beginning of this semester and
it is thought that these two combined,
will increase the capacity of the school
to take care of its no students almost
80 per cent.

crossing nicely. Two out Of the three
acts in the comedy. which is known
by the title, Contrary Mary" have al

directress of the play, is pushing the
work rapidly and expects the play to
be the most successful ever staged by
a senior class of the local school. The
date for the play has been set as the
two nights, April and s. and it is
practically certain that it will be given
in the high school auditorium, although
the matter of presenting it in a local
theatre is being agitated somewhat.

Villa Men TO
be Tried for
SeUonDedths
Columbus. \. NJ, March IL
Captain Pablo Garcia, wounded
Villa officer. died here today.

Columbus, n NJ, March 11.-Seven
wounded Villa soldiers captured by
Colonel H. ]. Slocum's troopers of the
18th United States cavalry, in the bat
tie here, will be held for murder in
the killing of seven American soldiers
slain in the fight according to an an
nouncement today by f. B. Stone,
agent of the department of justice.
The prisoners include boy of ~
years and two officers.
Stone said he would confer today
with Summers Burkhart, United
States district attorney in New Mex
leo and that the charges probably
would name Francisco Villa, the ban
dit chief, who led the raid on Column
bus.
Stone added it was probable that
similar charges of murder would be
filed against the prisoners in the state
courts of New Mexico in connection
with the killing of nine civilians by
the bandit raiders.
Pablo Sanchez, arrested while sig
mailing MeXicans across the border
yesterday and held as spy, will be
charged with aiding an enemy while
on the soil of the United States. The
murder charges against the Villa SOL
diers, Stone declared, would lie be-
cause the raid was carried out not by
recognized belligerents, but by bandits
whose leader was a man who had been
prescribed by the de facto govern
ment of country with which the Uni
ted States was not at war.
