WAS WORRYING IN THE CELLAR
Pipe Breaks Releasing Deadly Fumes
Which Makes Recovery of Body
Difficult

Fred ". Barg, cooper, aged As, re-
siding at SIS Fifteenth street, was
killed this afternoon at O'Clock by
an ammonia explosion while working
in the cellar of the Rock Island Brew
ing companys plant at Seventh ave-
nue. and Thirtieth street.
The explosion which cost the life
of Barg shook the entire building The
unfortunate workman was near a pipe
which broke and liberated the deadly
fumes and death is thought to have
been instantaneous.
1t was with the greatest of Difficult
ty that the body was recovered. Work
men rushed to the cellar. but the
fumes were so powerful that no aid
could be extended. A call for the fire
department was sent in and the crew
at the station at Thirtieth street re-
Sponded. The fremen finally succeed
ed with the use of ropes in recovering
the body. The lungmotor was applied
but 1t was of no avail.
Another Escapes.
The face of Mr.. Barg had been Sc
verely burned by the explosion. Paul
Shulze, another workman was on the
floor below, but escaped without in
jury. 1t was thought at first that a
second employe was with Barg, but a
preliminary check of the men showed
that all were accounted for. Mr.. Barg
was a married man and had made his
home in Rock Island for many years.

GOLDEN JUBILEE
Celebration in Its Birthplace, Decatur.
May %, "a, % at Annual En-
campment.

The golden jubilee of the Illinois
Grand Army of the Republic will be
celebrated in its birthplace, Decatur,
May %, "A and %, when the annual
encampment will be held. 1t is ex-
pected that many from Rock Island
county will attend this golden ami
versary and will include members of
the WOman's Relief corps, Ladies OF
the Grand Army, Daughters and Sons
of Veterans and other patriotic organ
izationS. Mrs. Cinderella Hoppe,
press correspondent of the Woman's
Relief corps, No. sc, has prepared the
following brief history of the G. A. R.:
The history of the founding of the
Grand Army of the Republic is of par
ticUlar interest to every American
citizen, be he old or young. The
idea originated with Chaplain W. ].
Rutledge, the mate and bosom friend
of DR.. B. f. Stephenson, afterward
major. 1t was on the march in the
campaign of the Sherman expedition
to Meridian in 1864 when Chaplain
Rutledge suggested that some organ
ization should be formed after the war
which would preserve the friendship
and memories OF the bitter trials and
dangers encountered during the great
conflict and struggle to save the union.
Many conversations were held on the
subject, and early in 1866 DR.. Steph-
enson showed notes of a proposed rit-
ual for such an organization TO many
in Springfield.
"On April 6, 1866, Major Stephenson,
assisted by Captain Phelps, organized
the first post of the Grand Army of the
Republic known as Post | of Decatur
District of Macon, Department OF
Illinois The charter was issued by
Commander B. F. Stephenson, com
mander of the department, and Robert
Mann Woods, adjutant general.
Colonel John NJ. Snyder and Major
Robert Mann Woods were the first
Grand Army staff officers and are the
only two surviving members of Post l
Commander Snyder is very proud
of being department commander OF
Illinois. He was in command of ILL
nois department at the great nation
al encampment held at Washington
d. c., last September, and, by virtue
of seniority, rode at the head of the
great column of veterans, which re-
peated the grand parade of veterans
50 years ago at the close of the Civil
war.
THE department of Illinois will
hold its 50th encampment at Decatur
on the 23rd. oath and 18th of May. This
being the Golden Anniversary and in
the birthplace Of the department
should be attended by all comrades
and auxiliary organizations.
"All members of the Woman's Re
lief corps, Ladies of the Grand Army
Daughters OF Veterans, Sons of Vet
Grams and Daughters of the Grand
Army, as well as comrades, are most
cordially invited"

ABOUT WATERWAY

Washington, May Ex-Governor
Dunno and most of the Illinois con-
gressmen asked Secretary Baker to-
day to approve the plans for an in
land waterway to connect Lake Mich
igan with the Gulf of Mexico.
Governor Dunno told Secretary
Baker that Illinois had appropriated
S5000,000 for the canal within its
borders. Secretary Baker indicated
that the project should await congress
siOnal legislation regulating water
ways and power projects.
The state of Wisconsin and the Ca
madam government had representa-
tives at the hearing to record objec-
lions that the canal might divert too
much water from Lake Michigan.

pared to resist the plan to have Boil
ton sent to Watertown hospital for
treatment for the dope habit and thus
escape punishment.
Just what procedure should be in
an instance of this kind is bothering
both the court and counsel. 1t is
claimed by attorneys for Bolton that
Judge W. T. Church can order that a
jury from the present petit panel be
selected 10 hear evidence concerning
the sanity of Bolton and that if they
ind him insane at the present time, he
can be sent to Watertown, which pro-
cedure would hold in allegiance all
criminal action, at least until he Is re-
turned TO normal mental condition.
Others contend that a special jury
must be called in this kind of case,
since the petit jury is not summoned
Tor the purpose of passing on matters
concerning the mental condition of de-
PENDANTS but to determine their guilt
or innocence OF crimes with which
they are charged.
II States Attorney Thompson would
consent &c The examination into Boil
tons sanity the indictment could he
nolle pressed and d petition could he
MED in the regular way in county
court for medical commission to be
named, The county prosecutor does
not believe Bolton insane and takes
the position that he should be prose-
cuted. At is claimed there is not a
single Illinois court in which the
questions brought up in the present
situation, have been determined by the
higher courts.

Is Michael Bolton insane? That is
the interesting question which his
counsel ]. Clinton Searle and Phil
Wells are seeking TO have d jury pass
on in circuit court. They claim that
the man who is under indictment for
burglary and larceny for breaking into
the drug store d Charles Strate, Rock
Island, April is, last, and taking stock
valued at $47.55, is not in his right
mind and therefore cannot be con-
yicted.
The point WAS raised in a petition
which was presented this afternoon
to Judge w. T. Church in circuit court.
by counsel for defendant. 1t was
averred that Bolton is now insane
through the excessive use of drugs
and that before he can be tried for the
crime with which he is charged. his
mental condition should be determ-
iRed.

Il do not believe that the employees
of this arsenal will permit themselves
10 be misled in this matter. / believe
that when the employees concerned
understand the conditions and under
stand that they have from some source
been given transformation on this
subject, which transformation is the
basis Of their contemplated action,
they will decline TO follow their So
called leaders into a strike
Many employees OF the Rock Island
arsenal have been employed there for
years They know that they have al
ways been well treated, that their

best and that their wages have been
better and their hours Of labor less
than those of similar employees in this
