BLAMES DRINKAS
HE is BOUND over
William Van ArsdaIe Cries to Court
That Family Troubles Caused Him
TO Imbibe Heavily.
ADMITS STEALING AUTOMOBILE
Resident of East End of Rock Island
Pleads Guilty to Burglary and Lar
ceny at Yelie Plant

Drink was blamed today by William
Van Arsdale, resident of the east end
who vas bound over to the grand jury
when he was arraigned in Rock Is
land police court on a charge of bur
glary and larceny.
And back of drink he placed family
troubles as being responsible for his
plight
Il cant help it that I drink" he
cried to the magistrate. Il don't drink
when I'm away from home, but my ia
ther causes all our trouble and drives
me to it. l can't help it. But l can
quit and if you just give me a chance
I'll show you that | can.
Van Arsdale was arrested in Rock
Island a week ago. He was an en-
ploye at the Velie plant in Moline. He
admits stealing a touring car. He
plead gdilty when arraigned. Bond
was fixed at 81 900 and an effort is be-
ing made by friends to secure bail for
him
w. L. Velie wanted to go on the bond
for Van Arsdale today but the court
would not permit this, as the machine
stolen il the property of the Velie COM
pany. Indications are that Van Ars-
dale will be placed in parole of the
circuit court and it may be that he win
be comitted to Wa1ertown to take the
cure for the liquor habit
Want to Help Him.
There is a general desire on the part
of all persons concerned in the mat
ter, including the police, to assist Van
ArSdale as much as possible. 1t is
quite likely that he will not receive
much more punishment for his act and
from appearances in court today, a
week in the county Jail, during which
time he was awaiting a preliminary
hearing, has proven a sufficient pen
atty for him.

BLAMES DOWNFALL
TO CITY HIGH LIFE

Chicago, Aug. 5.-Cabarets and the
white lights had a demoralizing in
f1uence upon Benjamin /. Tweed, who
claims that until recently he was post
master at Waverly, Wash. AS a result,
according to his own story, to Postof-
fee Inspector Germer, he is short with
the government. Tweed is in custody
here today, having given himself up
last night, because, he said, his con-
science could no longer stand the
strain Postal authorities are investi-
eating.
Tweed said he used the govern
ment's money to make trips from Wav-
erly to Spokane for amusement.

MAN, POPULAR WITH
WOMEN, ASSAULTED

Chicago, Aug. 5.-Three young men
are to be questioned by Woodlawn po-
lice today in an effort to ascertain the
facts in connection with the shooting
of Russell Bovee, 28, who was found
critically wounded on Wooded island,
jackson park.
Miss Maud Sack, who was found
with Bovee, Miss Caroline Posen and
Miss Celeste Adler were taken into
custody. Miss Sack first told the po-
lice that Bovee was shot by a negro
footpad but later was not so sure his
assailant was colofed. The police say
they found that Bovee was a great fav-
orite with women and that jealousy
may have been the motive.

HEARING BEFORE THE MASTER
Sister Mary William and Dean j. j.
Quinn Witnesses in Jail In
junction Litigation.

The injunction suit brought by
Bishop Edmund Dunno seeking to re-
strain the county from erecting a coun-
ty Jail on the court house square, was
reopened this morning before Master
in ChanCery ]. l.. Haas
Evidence in behalf of the complain
ant was introduced. The only point
considered was whether or not ST
Joseph's building is used exclusively
for school purposes. Sister Mary Will
liam, superior of the school, and Dean
j. j. Quinn, were placed on the stand
and asked relative to the uses to
which the building in question is
placed.
They both explained that the build
ing is used solely for school purposes
and that in addition to class rooms,
there is an exhibition hall which is
used for entertainments by the pupils.
On cross examination the witnesses
were asked if the sisters did not have
dormitory quarters there but this was
denied.
Is Important Point.
The point as to whether the build
ing is used exclusively for school pur-
poses Is important, as the present ac-
ton alleges, among other things, that
the county proposes TO erect the jail
in violation of the Igoe law which
prevents the building 70 a Jail within
200 feet of a building used exclusively
for school purposse.
After the two witnesses had testi-
fed, the complainants rested and a
continuance was taken until at
O'Clock on the afternoon of Aug. IS,
when the defense will get its inning.
J. T. & S. r. Kenworthy, William Nc

the complainants and Searle & Mar
