of this city. Another link in the chain
of evidence being forged against
Francis was welded when Mrs. Eliza
beth Nealey, 1922 Perry street identi-
fed him as the man who entered her
home some weeks ago and escaped
with $50 in cash. She came upon the
man Unexpectedly in her home. and he
made his escape by jumping out a rear
window, she claims. For the present,
the man is being held here, while his
record is being investigated. While no
definite announcement has been made,
the police will prosecute the man for
some of the jobs he perpetrated in
Davenport, it is believed.
Contracts to Local Company.-Be-
cause of the high cost of labor and the
scarcity of material the F. p. Coughlin
company of Chicago, through Attor-
ney \. D. Ely, asked permission of the
council to turn over the paving con
tracts on four streets to the Mccarthy
Improvement company of this city.
The street on which the Coughlin com
pany has contracts, and which are to
be transferred to the local concern,
are: Marshall street from Fillmore 70
Division, Bridge avenue from Thir-
teenth to Locust, Bridge avenue from
Locust to High, Dover court from Rock
Island to Farnam- After short dis
cussion, the council granted permits
sion to transfer the contracts. The
Mccarthy company will do the work
on the same terms specified in the
contract with the Chicago firm
Protests Against Insurance-Claim-
ing that the police cars owned by Day-
export were not insured uniformly,
and that the insurance carried on them
was too much Mayor John Berwa1d
asked for an explanation at the meet
ing of the city council in committee Of
the whole According TO the mayor,
the car recently purchased for the po-
lice department, TO be used by Chief
Boettcher when the patrol was re-
paired, is insured for its full value,
while the patrol is not. He claimed
that the chiefs car should not have
been insured for so much. 4 find in
looking through the policies" Mayor
BerwaId said, that the police cars are
insured against theft. This seems to
me to be highly ridiculous. 1t looks
like a boomerang on the police de-
partment, and l can't see any reason
for it
New Concern Locates Here-Anoth-
er big retail concern has been added
to Davenport with the lease by NJ. Lam
dauer of the building at 221 Perry
street to the Jewel Tea company. The
Jewel Tea company is $4,000 600

GREETS HUGHES
MOST CORDIALLY
Nominee in Splendid Physi-

Bothered by Voice
PRINCIPAL Speech
At Dayton TONIGHT
by PERRY ARNOLD

United Press Stan Correspondent
DAYTON. Ohio. Sept. 25. 80 Repub-
lican Nominee Hughes brought his
policies into the Buckeye State today,
beginning three-day oratoricaI
marathon. Because Hughes throat Is
still infiamed and his vocal chords
irayed by his long distance speaking
in lndiapa, Mrs. Hughes and the nopli-
nee's physician. DR.. l.. d. Alexander,
Jr., forbade any out-of-door speech
here in Dayton. The local committee.
therefore. made up for lack Of speech
from the candidate by program
which sought to show him of to thu
populace from morn till night.
Hughes arrived at Dayton shortly
before o'clock and was met by a
large reception committee, headed by
J. J. Nevin Later in the day Cover
nor Frank B. Willis Of Ohio. was due
20 join the nomination special" and
travel with the party during Hughes
stumping In Ohio. First OF all today
the candidate was whisked of to tho
Soldiers Home. Then at i130 he
made a speech before the League OF
Republican Clubs. This afternoon he
was due 10 put in an appearance and
review parade at the State Fair
grounds and tonight to deliver his big
speech of the day in the city auditors
4 ium. In between times he expected 10
confer with Ohio Republicans on the
political outlook Ex-Governor Myron
lT. Herrick and Ralph Cole among the
number.
Hughes begins the second week
2 OF his second campaign tour In splen-
4 did physical and mental shape, but
| very much bothered as TO voice. The
J superhuman efforts at stumping he
made in Indiana have left his voice
in such shape that II is an obvious
effort for him 10 talk. He is forced
at all times 10 remember he must
cons, rva his organ of speech. and
that slows him up just a trihe in hts
delivery as we'll as Il forces him to
speak In a harsh monotone Fresh
/ from three days OF constant ovations
i'm Indiana and met here today with
a big and enthusiastic crowd, he was
literally bUbbling with enthusiasm
and energy-Or at least as nearly
bubbling with enthusiasm and energy
as a former Supreme Court justice
can be.
Hughes plans to make the tariff and
/ Americanism his main themes in Ohio
speeches during the noAf few days. Tha
| spectre of closed factories oftcr the end
Of the European war if the Democratic
principle Of tariff for revenue only is
continued, which the nominee so strong
" invokes. made big hit in Indiana
and the candidate is Of the opinion ID
will he an equally potent campaign arr
