market will be open Monday, the regu.

1t is decided not to open the marka
so early in the mornings this season as
heretofore The opening hours viii
be a. N. The earlier opening was az
preciated by the shoppers, but it was
doubtful value in bringing volume d
trade. The early shoppers were well
satisfied all the time, but the later
ones could not be held.

In addition to regular truck gar

be the man accused. Interest in the
case is running high throughout the
entire county and its developments are
being closely followed in legal circles,
due TO the unique methods which are
of necessity being employed in ferret
ing out identity of the man who pulled
the trigger when the fatal shot was
fired.
Trial Must Be Fair.
Considerable discussion has come up
regarding the difficulty of giving Pc
rez or any others Of the Mexicans who
may be held, a fair trial. The nation
ality of the suspected men and their
unfamiIiarity with the English Tan
guage will make the process OF TAX
ing testimony in the circuit court a
tedious process.
Body of Cracraft was sent to Mount
Ayr, Iowa, his home town, this morn

companied the remains. Funeral ser

THREE BOYS HELD
FOR AUTO THEFT
Harry Hanson, r. ii. HendricksOn and
Jack MIlrOy Use Doctors Gar
Without His Permission.
ALFRED TREMBLAY COMPLAINANT
Physician Becomes Suspicious When
He Sees Party Move Down Alley
Makes Plea for Defendants.

Three Moline boys, Harry Hanson
r. H. Hendrickson and Jack Mcllroy
have been held to the grand jury under
5000 bonds each, on a charge of using
the automobile of DR.. Alfred Tremhlay
S702 Eighteenth avenue, without his
permission. Dr. Tremblay's plea that
leniency be shown the boys is all that
saved them from facing a more serious
charge-that of housebreaking.
DR.. Tremblay was sitting on his
back porch at about II last night
when he noticed a machine being driv-
en- quietly down the alley leading from
his garage. Inasmuch as he had left
the back door of the garage unlocked
as usual. and as it is seldom that ma
chimes pass through the alley, he be-
came suspicious, and investigated.
Captured in Rock Island.
When he entered the garage, the
machine, a Buick roadster, was moi
there. He Immediately phoned the pc,
lice. A short time later Rock Island
police reported finding the young mer
and they were sent to the local station
When captured by the Rock Island of
ficers, they were decidedly under tht
influence of liquor.
Hanson, who is only 10 years of age
was driving the car. He was at one
time employed by DR.. Tremblay doin&
odd jobs 1t was owing to this, and t.
| the fact that the boys mother is rather
aged that DR.. Tremblay asked fol
leniency. The lighter charge was
therefore, preferred against the cul
prits, and Magistrate Gustafson bounC
! them over to the grand jury.

WOODMEN OF WORLD
WINS SUIT IN COURT

Dallas, Texas, June 30--An injunc-
ton was refused in the state court
here yesterday against the Woodmen
of the World, a fraternal insurance or
ganization, to restrain it from collect
ing premium on endowment policies is
sued more than twenty years ago on
the ground that the policies were to
be paid up after being operative that
long.
The court held that under the char
ter Of 1881 the organization would not
violate its contract by collecting quar-
terly premiums on such policies after
20 years.
The case was styled r. B. Seay VS..
the Sovereign camp Woodmen of the
World. 1t was a test case and af-
fected $4,000 policy holders through
out the United States, involving $685.
100000 insurance.

Return to Wet Column.

Today brought forth a new develop
ment in the ever unceasing fight be-
tween the wet and dry factions of Mo-
line, one which promises to once again
force Moline into the dry column, this
time in the strictest sense of the word
1t is expected that many of the soft
drink emporiums of the city, some Of
which are suspected Of dispOsing Of
liquids which are. not to be classified
under the heading of soft" will close
their doors. A little matter of tech
nicality is responsible for this change.
Government licenses, granting per
mission to sell alcoholic beverages,
expire tonight If they are renewed,
it is taken as prima facie evidence
that the concerns are boOtlegging. II,
on the other hand, these licenses are
not taken out and liquor is sold, the
federal government is in position TO
hold the men to account.
There is no direct proof that these
soft drink emporiums have been sell
ing liquor. 1t is known, however, that
a number of them will close tonight.
There is only one thing that will
prevent this move from having a de-
cided influence over rental prices in
the city That is the fac that several
breweries are so confidC1t that Moline
will again join the ranks of the vets
that they are taking out two-year
leases on locations. In order to keep
the men interested. they are endeav-
oring to sublet the stores at half
price.
Seine Financial Risk.
Even if the city should go wet again,
this is exceedingly risky financial bus
mess, for before they could open again
it would be necessary to gain the
consent Of the neighbors. 1t would
probably be difficult to gain this priv
ilege in many instances.

CORONER UNCOyERS NEW MOVE
Causes RearreSt of Five Mexicans Who
Have Been Held For Supposed
Connection with Shooting.

County authorities uncovered a new
move in their fight TO place the blame
for the death Of Nicholas Cracraft
when last evening five MeXicans, who
were released yesterday afternoon
after having been held il custody for
their supposed connection with the
crime, were rearrested by East Mo
line police, acting on orders from the
county coroner Incidentally it is the
hope of Coroner Meyer to bring the
inquest, the jury for which was sum
moned four days ago, to a close to-
morrow with the introduction Of
mass Of evidence which will indicate
beyond the possibility Of a reasonable
doubt who the slayer Of the AmeTi-
can is.
From authentic sources comes the
report that the men released and then
Tearrested knew more Of the case than
they told when examined in the East
Moline police station several days ago.
Authorities refuse to diyulge the ma
ture of the additional evidence or
from what source the tip was receiv-
ed. The five who were released and
then rearrested lived in box car No. 6
in the SllvlS yards, and 1t is expected
to determine through their testimony
in which car the revelry and drink
ing, which preceded the shooting, took
place.
"Third Degree Tonight.
Meanwhile the "third degree" awaits
the men this evenir< and it is hoped
that when the grih,Lg is completed
all the information they possess will
be known to the authorities.
Five Greeks. held as witnesses in
connection with the case for several
days, have been dismissed. Their
evidence is of little value to the state
Coroner R. c. J. Meyer plans TO re-
open the inquest at tomorrow morn
ing in his Moline Office, and it is ex-
pected that the verdict will be return,
ed early tomorrow afternoon.

series Of 1,000-foot piers to be con-
/ structed in the Hudson river at a cost
of $3,250,000 for the use of giant ocean
steamships.
In order to make the pier of the re-

two slips each $50 feet long into the
solid rock, one on each side of the
pier. A cofferdam held back the wat
er while the pier was being built.
Mayor Mitchell yesterday opened the
dam and flooded the area around the
