PARTNERSHIP NOT
PROVEN IN COURT
Justice Maucker Dismisses Case il
Which A. j. O'DOnnell Had Been
Accused of Perjury.
DIR. MILLER THE COMPLAINANT
Defendant Admits Making Statement,
But no Evidence to Show it Was
Untrue is Presented.

Evidence to substantiate the charge
of perjury, preferred by Dr. S. H. Mil
Ter against A. ]. ODonnell, was lack
ing and that case was dismissed by
Justice James Maucker today.
Change of venue was taken from po-
lice court when the case was brought
up for hearing today, after having
been continued twice Seven wit
nesses, including the complainant and
defendant, testified.
The perjury case grew out of the
hearing of a suit before Justice Van
Noorden last November. The firm of
Miller & O'Donnell was sued for a
sum of 500 on bill for oats, a farm
er alleged he sold the men while they
were conducting a feed stable on
Fourth avenue between Sixteenth and
Seventeenth street
DR.. Miller filed the perjury charge
on the grounds that Mr.. O'Donnell de-
clared at the former hearing that he
was not member of the firm. In JUS
tice Maucker's court today the COM
plainant presented no contract of
partnership and it developed that
there had only been an understanding
between the men that Mr.. O'Donnell
would permit DR.. Miller to use his
name. DR.. Miller admitted this in
court, but insisted that there had
been a partnership formed Mr.
O'Donnell denied that there had.
Statement Not Denied.
The defendant did not deny making
the statement in the court of Justice
Van Noorden. He held that the state
ment he made at that time was true.
c. j. Schroeder represented Mr..
O'Donnell and States Attorney FLOYD
Thompson prosecuted the case. 1t re-
quired several hours to complete the
hearing.

Rock Island Postmaster Gives Inter.
esting Statistics on Business-More
Than Hundred Present,

The keynote of what constitutes
American citizenship and the duty OF
Americans was sounded by States At
torney Floyd L. Thompson in his
Washington day address at the Post
office Clerks banquet at the Rock Is
land house last night
Mr. Thompson stated that there was
no room in this country for hyphen-
ated citizens and that the real Ameri-
can, native or foreign born, is a citizen
that follows the guidance of a single
fag-the stars and stripes. There is
no place on the armament, so far as
this country is concerned, for any
other flag or allegiance" said Mr.
Thompson. This was the teaching OF
Washington and the same duty applies
to the citizens of today The great
dangers lie not from without but from
within this country. If we keep the
body polite clean and suppress cor
ruption and stamp out elements of dis
cord and disunion and stand together
and extend a helping hand to each
other. this country will be in no dan
ger
out of the great melting pot the
masses from Europe are moulded into
the finest type of American citizen
ship" said the speaker
The banquet was an elaborate af-
fair, spread in the main dining room
and more than one hundred postoffice
employees from the tri-cities and other
towns, and their ladies attended. AT
the conclusion of the repast, A. F.
Lundquist. president of the Postoffice
Clerks Of the Rock Island postoffice, in
appropriate remarks, introduced H. H
Cleaveland as POSTMASTER for the eve
ming. MIR. Cleaveland fitted into his
position in a delightful manner and
kept the gathering in good humor all
evening with his witty remarks in call
ing on the various speakers. Mr.
Cleaveland spoke on patriotic senti-
ments of George Washington. In COM
menting on the life of Washington, Mr.
CleaVeland said there were other men
who have been greater soldiers, states
men and orators than he, but that the
father of our country was the man OF
the hour possessed Of those inherent
qualities of patriotism, courage, hon
esty and farsightedness which made
him the standard for all to follow, be-
loved for all time aS the ideal in war
and peace to be revered as the first
American.

Most thinkers. persons OF expert
ence, who have studied humanity In

One prominent physician, vice
president Of perfectly good medical

that the recent epidemic Of infan,ile
paralysis may have been caused By
smallpox vaccination WHY. he asks,
should the disease become epidemic In
New YORK City and endemic through

This is food for candid reflection.
Tuberculosis has increased 800 per

Of compulsory vaccination throughout
the country.
Eminent physicians are declaring
that the injection Of matter obtained
from decayed animal tissue into the
blood corrupis the whole volume Of
that circulating. yitalizing fluid
The point Is made that God in His
wisdom never intended that serum Oh
