It's Exhibitions at Exposition
Park This Evening.

The Parker shows, which are to be
on view at Exposition park throughout
the present week, arrived yesterday
afternoon over the Burlington, the
train consisting of 50 all steel cars.
Hundreds of people watched the un-
loading of the cars at the foot of Sew
enteenth street 1t is said to be the
largest carnival on tour. There is no
doubling the fact that it is the most
prosperous lookin. affair of its kind
that has ever visited Rock Island. The
opening exhibitions will take place
this evening, beginning at 7:30.
Among the many attractions to be
seen will be Parkers Creation, one of
the most beautiful spectacles ever pro-
duced under canvas, the Beautiful
Bagdad Girls, musical comedy OF
note with a beVy of pretty girls;
Fairly's World of novelties, curiosities
from all chimes; the Submarine Fool
Killer, the first submarine ever built;
Ski Ball, the new fun device; Days
of Forty-Nine; the Honey Moon Trail,
the great fun maker; the Southern
Entertainers; The Girl From Leaven-
worth Prince Napoleon Shows, with
the little prince himself, and many
other novelties.
Another feature of the Parker shows
is the guarantee of absolute cleanli-
ness and the absence of roughness in
all attractions and concessions con-
nested with this enterprise.
There will be a parade through the
business section of the city at 1870
this evening.

would be permissible to withdraw that
part of the bill of complaint that re-
| lated to time of taking effect of the
law, which would end the controversy
and permit Superintendent Gregory to
distribute the S11 900 which has been
allotted to Mercer county by the state
On the other hand, it has since been
said by Attorney Graham that it would
be possible to withdraw that part of the
complaint which related to the con-
| stitutionality of the law and proceed
IN an attempt to force the superin-
/ tendent to make distribution under
| the provisions of the 1913 law, which is
undoubtedly in force until the new law
| becomes operative on July S. No one
seems to know at this time what will
+ be Graham's move under Judge
/ Church's tentative ruling No one dis
putes Graham's contention.
| New Point Raised.
| The point relating to the effective
ness OF the purpOrted law is a new one,
! injected into the controversy by Mr..
Graham, who is a state representa-
tive, and was at Springfield last year
when the tuition measure passed
! both houses. The point has not been
brought up in any of the fights that
have been made Of late in different
counties of Illinois. Representative
Graham recalled that after the meas
IRE passed both houses it went to the
governor, but that that official did not
, sign it The legislature adjourned
June 30, 1915, two days following the
/ passage of the measure. Having fail
ed to receive the approval of the gov
ernOr the bill was returned and filed
! in the Office Of the secretary Of state.
On July s, 1915, Mr. Graham, in his
/ arguments TO the court, pointed out
that under the constitution of the state
a law does not become effective until
the July following its passage or fl
/ ing, unless otherwise provided. 1t
seems that in this case there was no
such provision. Thus the law does
not become effective until July s,
1916.
