England, on Jan. II. When about four
days out wireless communication with
the vessel suddenly ceased and as the
days passed without further word of
her she was given up for lost.

London Lloyds on Jan. % said that the
British steamship Tregantle had re-
ported having passed at sea on Jan. IS
a lifeboat with the name Appam paint

gone down in severe storm, or posi-
bly, had encountered a German sub
marine operating on the African coast.
The Appam, under ordinary conditions,
would have reached Plymouth on
Jan. 81.
The Appam sailed with 166 passen-
gers and with a crew of 1874 Among
the passengers were British colonial
officials. After leaving Dakar she
called at all ports on the west coast of
Africa, picking up officials who intend
ed to return to England on furlough.
These men formed a considerable por-
ton Of her passenger list.
Among the passengers who were
booked to sail on the Appam were Sir
Edward and Lady Merewither and
their suite: Frederick Seton James
former acting colonial secretary and
closely identified with colonial admin
istrative affairs in Africa; Francis
Charles Fuller, who was appointed
chief commissioner of Ashanti in 1905

WORKHOUSEP PLAN
MAY co TO VOTE
snrer,isor y. Il. Wright VIII Bring
Matter Up at March Meeting of
County Board.
RAVEN PRAISES OFFICIALS
r,ecuthc Secretary of Charities Com
mission Approves Recalling of
Grand Jury.

Indications are that when the board
=. Supervisors convenes in March, the
,,otter Of a county workhouse will be
.,nroughIy considered. Supervisor S
Wright is planning on bringing up
,be subject of submitting the question
~ special tax or bond issue for the
;,s.i,u,ion at the general election in
the fall.
Recently Mr.. Wright wrote to A. L.
Bowen. executive secretary Of the
state charities commission relative to
he best way to proceed in the premi-
COS and received a reply in which it
was stated that while the county plan
was approved. the commission favors
enactment of a law providing for the
erection by the state of warehouses in
each congressional district
Mr. Bowen took occasion to compli-
ment officials here for the plan of re-
calling the grand jury which has been
adopted. Special credit should be
given States Attorney F. f. Thomp-
son. who has been faithfully following
this rule. resulting in the disposition
Of criminal cases with the greatest
dispatch and doing away with the long
DELAYS which were the rule in the past.
Judge ". T Church of the circuit
court has gladly cooperated.
Praise for Thompson.
Letter of Mr., Bowen follows;
Springfield. ILL.,, Jan. %. 1916
Mr.. Samuel K. Wright. Rock Is
land. ILL., Dear Sir: Your letter
Of Jan y has been received. Rock
Island county has been doing
some good work. and ] am glad
to be able 10 make note of it.
The action Of your judge in
recalling your county grand jury
every 30 days is one Of the most
progressive Of recent years and l
am hoping that other counties will
follow his example. This act
means justice and economy.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1916-02-01

Now, as to your workhouse.
am not familiar with your local
conditions and therefore would
hesitate to advise Just what TO do
in this matter, On the general
proposition, however, our COM
mission fayors the district work
house, under the control of the
state. We believe that the man
who has been convicted of an Of
Tense which entails a Jail SEN
tence Is Just as much a state
prisoner as he who commits a
graver offense and is sent to
Joliet. The difficulty with coun-
ty workhouse is that the number
Of prisoners is not enough to make
it economically successful. The
number of prisoners also varies
considerably. In order to make
he county workhouse really sue
cessful you must have enough men
for variety of employments and
you must have in charge man
Of considerable skill and ability.
Now the district workhouse
under state control would have on
hand all the time from 400 to 600
prisoners. The superintendent for
such an institution could be Sc
cured for about the same salary
that the county would have to pay
to competent man. There are
many other advantages OF the
state district workhouse scheme.
We are devoting our energies to
working up public opinion in favor
of such a plan, consequently are
not encouraging the county work
house. We do not discourage it.
We know that the Peoria county
workhouse has been quite success
full. The superintendent Of that
institution evidently is a man of
superior ability because he has
lived held this position for
many years through many differ
ent administrations. The plan
that is carried out in Peoria OF
cooperation between the city and
the county is very good.
Please do not understand that I
am discouraging your plan. Local
conditions should very often be
the deciding factor in any pro
pOsal regarding government
Yours respectfully,
A. l.. BOWEN,

Adjust Claim.

A resolution submitted by Commits
sioner Rudgren allowed a claim of $75
to Charles Brady, who purchased the
property of the defunct Union Elec-
trio Telephone company in this city.
Ward & Mcmahon, local plumbing firm,
held a claim Of $75 against the COM
pany and started an action in local
justice court to garnishee Brady for
the amount of the claim. The cOntro-
versy lay between Brady and the
plumbing concern and when the city
turned over the property to Brady last
spring it withheld SIS to protect itself
The matter has been adjusted outside
of court and the city in turning the
money over to Brady does so with the
understanding that Brady will pay the
claim

VOTE UNANIMOUS
ON CAFE CHANGES
City Commission Adopts for Considera
ton Ordinance Drafted by Com.
missioner Liedtke.
COLONIAL BONDS ARE TABLED
Mayor Advises That Matter Be Not
Broached Until Modifying Act Is
Finally Passed by Council.

The ordinance tightening regula-
tons governing operation of cafes was
unanimously considered by the Rock
Island municipal commission at its
meeting yesterday when the measure
was taken up fer first reading. None
ton to the modifying act, and although
one cafe owner was at the city hall be-
fore the meeting was called he did not
voice his opinions on the floor of the
council chamber. The ordinance will
be presented again next Monday for
final adoption and present indications
point that it will be passed 1t was
/ drafted by Commissioner Liedtke.
When Commissioner Rudgren pre-
scented the bonds filed by A. D. Mackey
owner of the Colonial hotel bar, who
! had petitioned the commission for q
| license to sell drinks in the hotel cafe
Mayor McConochie advised that the
bonds be tabled until the council had
! first finally passed the cafe ordinance
| Whether the adoption of this measure
giving the council practically arbitrary

restoration of the Colonial cafe IL
cense is matter of conjecture at pres
ent 1t is understood, however, thai
| the council will be in a more recep
tive mood in regards to petition after
it first empowers itself with this con
/ troll.
The amendment ordinance provides
in brief: That no scantily clad singer
or dancer be permitted in the cafes
or that no suggestive song or dance OF
any solicitations be allowed; that NJ
drinks be sold after midnight: tina
10 hotel be given license unless i
has 30 guest rooms that the license
fee for cafes be increased from 500
to $500 per year, and that the counci
is empowered to revoke a license i

the United States since the beginning
Of the war
The German ships kron Prinz Will
held and Prinz Eitel Frederick. which
took refuge in Hampton Roads early
in the war, were auxiliary cruisers
and now are interned as such.
The Hague convention provides:
"A prize may only be brought into
a neutral port on account of unsea-
worthiness, stress of weather or want
of fuel or provisions.
1T must leave as soon as the cir
cumstances which justify its entry are
at an end. If it does not, the neutral
should it fail to obey. the neutral pow
er must employ the means at its dis
posal to release it with its officers and
crew and to inferno the prize crew"
! In case the Appam can be considered
as an auxiliary cruiser, she is entitled,
under international law, to a certain
length of time to make any necessary
repairs and load enough coal and pro-
visions TO carry her to her nearest
home port.

as a foregone conclusion that the Ap-
pam will remain in Hampton Roads

the United States to determine would

crew and the prisoners of war which
the ship carries.
/ The probabilities are that II the APP
pam still has the character OF mer-
chairman and the prize crew does rot
elect to take the risk Of running the
gauntlet of British cruisers outside,
the customs collector will take charge
of the vessel and after probably in
terning her prize crew would return
the ship to her owners.
The exploit of the German COM
mander in placing crew from a sub
marine aboard a merchant ship and
sailing her into port without loss of

bearing on the submarine controversy
between the United States and Ger
