KOHLER HASPLAN
To FIT UP FIELD
Believes Funds Can BE Obtained Sui
ticient to Arrange Ground for
Fall Football Games.
WILL ASK AID OF BUSINESS MEN
SurpIus Earned From Contests Could
BE Used TO Reimburse Those
Making Donations.

1t remains for Colonel Hjalmar
Kohler. MoHne's dean Of athletes. to
cast ray of hope upon the muddle
which exists in connection with the
Improvement of Browning field to
point that will make possible its use
this fall for football games. Colonel
Kohler's proposition is one whereby
he believes business men can, to Ger
tain extent, counterfeit the bad effect
which failure of the voters to indorse
the Browning field bond proposition
last Tuesday was expected 10 have on
work OF converting the field into an
adequate playground and municipal
athletics plant.
Theory upon which Colonel KOhler
is working is that the immediate and
most urgent need at Browning field
is to provide an adequate football
ground for the fall games. Then the
other improvements will come, he be-
lieves. He has suggested the follow
ing proposition:
That business men Of Moline unite
in providing funds for the improve
ment of the field, this considered viz
tuaIly a loan to the High School Ath-
letfc association Football has always
a
and should be even more so next fall.
The money could be paid back to the
business men with interest, amount o.
Davment at close of each season being
in proportion TO the investment until
the entire amount is paid.
Property of City.
The field is property of the city of
Moline, not Of the high school assoc
citation, but it is felt that the associa-
ton. which derives more benefit from
the gridiron than any Of the indie
pendent teams in the city and is semi
public in character, could well afford
TO undertake paying back the business
men out of its surplus profits If the
business men. on the other hand, are
willing to undertake the work OF Civ
ing the field its needed improvement
this fall City officials would thus be
free from responsibility. The prop
osition is one which is expected to
meet with favorable comment from
many sources

DOMINGO CASTRO
CASE IS DROPPED
No Further Steps to BE Taken by
County Authorities in Alleged
East Moline Murder.
Is DISAPPOINTED
Meaningless Verdict of Jury Causes
Him to Wash His Hands of the
Whole Affair.

Because of what now appears to be
lack of evidence, no further steps
will be taken by county authorities to
apprehend the supposed murderers Of
Domingo Castro, whom it is thought
was brutally slugged and left to die on
an East Moline car track a week ago
last night. Inquiry into the mans
death is closed. Floyd f. Thompson,
states attorney, has declared that no
further steps will be taken in the mat
ter by representatives of his office.
Coroner Meyer, whom it is said has de-
clared he iS Disguised with the mean
ingless verdict returned by the jury
he summoned, has also washed his
hands of the affair
Meanwhile the two men suspected
by all uthOrities-Andres Gonzales
and Manuel Bielma -have left the
county with more than fifty of their
countrymen, most of whom were ar
rested at some time during the era
craft and Castro probes. It would be
a difficult matter to apprehend the sus
poets and bring them to trial, even if
the grand jury should return indict-
mentS.

able evidence has been collected in this
case, but it is felt that it will be diff
cult to determine which of the six
MeXicans held in the county jail fired
the shot. The death-bed statement of
the victim is the strongest piece of
evidence upon which the state will
build up its case, which rests wholly
on circumstantial evidence

NOTABLE BIRTHDAYS TO-DAY.

Henry B. Chamberlin, Chicago edi- tor and noted war correspondent is 49 years old today. He has contrib uted one of the most brilliant feats of American journalism. It was dur ing the Spanish-American war. when he chartered dispatch boat for his paper and cruised 35,0O0 miles, cover ing all ends of the naval and military operations in Cuba, Porto Rico and the West Indies. Chamberlin and his assistants were ''in at the death" at the big naval battle off Santiago in 1898. They ran their boat in between the fire of the two fleets, and exper- fenced all the thrill and saw all the details of the big fight. Mr. Cham berlin was born at Washington on March 10, 1867. He was educated in Mansfield, Ohio, and Chicago. He founded "The Guardsman," military newspaper, in Chicago, at the age of IS, and worked as a reporter and editor on Chicago and New York papers. After his war correspondent stunt he was made managing editor of the Chicago Herald. He is active in municipal affairs in Chicago, and has had a large influence in bringing about various reforms there

IMPORTED COTTON
 MUST BE DISINFECTED
New Requirement for Protection of American Growers Goes Into
 Effect March 10.

Washington, D. C., March 10.-The necessary arrangements for the dis infection of imported cotton have now been completed at Boston and San Francisco, and on and after March 10 all imported cotton must be disinfected before being sent to | it's destination. This will apply to all foreign cotton that is not unload ed on the docks by midnight, March 9.
 Disinfection of imported cotton is one of the requirements made by Regulation ' of the Rules and Regu- lations governing the importation of cotton into the United States, which became effective February 1. Because of unavoidable delays in the compile tion of the necessary plants, how ever, the enforcement of this require ment was postponed.
 The primary purpose of the Regu | lationS Is to protect American cotton growers from the pink boil worm, one of the worst cotton pests in Egypt. The damage done by this insect is shown by the following extract from circular which was issued in Alex andria, Egypt, by company engaged in handling Egyptian cotton;
 "The 1915 cotton crop has, like it's predecessors, paid heavy tribute to the pink boil worm attacks. As was to have been foreseen from the great numbers of bolls affected since the month of August, the damage sui fered by the cultivators all over Low CT Egypt has been very heavy. Talk | ing the average of the cases that have come under our observation, we estimate the general damage at 30 to l35 per cent. This insect has not spread over Upper Egypt to any great extent so far, although the common boil work worm has several times in the past caused great dam age in the Upper Egypt cotton plan tationS.
 I've do not think it an eXaggera- tion to say that, through the pres ence of the pink boil worm, Lower Egypt cotton farming is passing through a most difficult period which has become more acute each year and may develop into serious crisis. We are very far from the happy years when a yield of cantars per acre was not difficult to obtain on good land: nowadays cantars are con sidered good outturn by the culti- vators even of the good districts of Menoufeh."
 For about year now the Federal Horticultural Board has required all rooms in which foreign cottons are stored to be screened, all waste con taining seed to be burned, and has insisted upon other similar precau- tions. The new requirement. ot tuml- gation is regarded as one of the most important of these means of protect ing the cotton industry. nvestlga- tion has shown that there are few seeds in all imported cotton and any of these seeds may contain the pest Its establishment in this country IS regarded as a menace that must be guarded against in every possible way
