State Inspector Is Called to Examine
Two Year-Old Child In Emil
Johnson Home, Silvis.
CHILD is ILL SEVERAL DAYS
Earlier Victim of the Disease Has En-
hrely Recovered, Health Author
tiles Announce.

State authorities fear that Silvis is
harboring a case of infantile paralysis.
AS a precautionary measure the home
OF Emil Johnson, 1873 Eleventh street,
was placed under quarantine this
morning. A state inspector, summoned
by Dr.. l.. d. Barding, attending physi-
clan, and DR.. w. d. Chapman, Silvis
health officer, visited the Johnson home
this morning
The child became i'll several days ago
and DR.. Barding, noting signs of in
fantile paralysis, notified the city ply
stefan, who, in turn, informed state au-
thorities at Springfield The state in
spector was this morning unable to de-
termlne whether the child has con-
tracted the dread disease. If il devel-
oped that the case is not one OF paraly-
sis, the quarantine will be removed
The child is years old.
Quarantine Lifted.
East Moline has no cases of the dis
ease at the present time. Quarantine
was today removed from the William
Carius home. The child has practi-
cally recovered and will have full use
OF both limbs. The case was the only
one which has developed in East Mo-
line since the epidemic started to
sweep the country from the east.

and chloroformed him with the help Of
Christy, on Aus. II, 1914, at Stone
streets home. Mrs. Warren was not
arrested until the following April,
when she confessed her share in the
crime.
Christy said he met the woman In
this city in 1905 and that they went to-
sether to Lynchburg. Va. where they
lived together under the name OF

| he intended to kill them II he found
them. He went TO Texas, where he
married and settled down.
There he received letter from Mrs
Warren telling Of her marriage and
adding that she was in trouble and
wanted him. He came north and with
the woman and Stonestreet plotted the
death Of her husband. Mrs. Warren
was to chloroform her husband while
he slept and the other two were to

thrown into the water. A freshct
brought 1t to the top ten days later.
People came from all directions
thinking the body might be that of
some missing friend or relative, but the
body was finally buried without being
identified. Later the complaint Of
Warren's parents that he was missing
directed attention and suspicion to Mrs,
Warren and she was arrested.
Mrs. Warren. according to the police
made fan confession, duplicating
Christy, Who vas extradited from
Texas. Christy Is then said to have
made = confession. In which he told
the details Of the murder plot. Stone |
street convinced the Jury that he had
played only a minor part and he es1
capped with a sentence Of three years IN

NAVY NONSENSE.

Mr.. Roosevelt, assistant secretary
OF the navy. appears to deserve
cEast;sement at the hands of men who
are really informed about naval af-
fairs. Testifying before a house COM
mittee regarding the relative strength
OF the American and Japanese navies,
Secretary Roosevelt said:
THAT depends on the scene of
operation. If the fleets were kept
apart, we are about three to two. II
The operations Wsre in Japanese
waters, we are about equall." He
thought that in extreme western
waters" far from our own bases,
Japan might even prove superior. But
"if they attempted to come over here.
the conditions would be reversed, .
ard our navy would nave them at a
big disadvantage.
This is surely heresy of the rank
est soht. Doesn't every lingo navalist
and every amateur authority writing
for the magazines know that Japan
could land 100000 men on our
shores between sunse- and sunrise,
getting them across the Pacific with
out a BIZ of trouble, and smashing out
navy to smithereens il it tried to
interfere? A regular expert starts
with the accepted principle that our
own navy is so small. mismanaged
and worthless that it could never
under any conceivable conditions
meet the navy of any other power
on equal terms

do without others not worth while.
He must. sacrifice little things for
The big.
Each day now we are confronted
with new problems, which if they do
not teach us economy and thrift, at
least will open up new avenues for
study OH how to make the best Of our
own resources. 1t is true that there
is not as much encouragement in this
country for. scientists to devote their
lives to solving the problems Of food
values. chemicals and the utilization
of al! waste. as in the older coun-
tries where the man of science is the
protege of the government. and its
pensioner when his work-days are
over, but through colleges, schools
and the great medium of the press,
national interest has been awakened,
thriftless people and thriftless COM
munities are being aroused and good
results are sure to follow.

may be considered among the lux

to break up the practice of holding
large tracts after the timber has been
removed, for second growth to ap-

lumber companies now hold a greater

the land in its present form does not
yield sufficient revenue for the coun-
