 Duane did not speak to LOngstreth and the passengers in the car, changed
 his seat to one behind his prisoner. The girls sat in a seat near by and were pale but composed.
 Duane did not speak to Longstreth again till the train stopped at Val Verde.
 They got of the car, and the girls | followed as naturally us ordinary travellers. The station was good deal larger than that at Bradford. and there was considerable action and

mo DECISION IN GRAFT CASE
UNTIL AFTER PRIMARIES q.

The political significance of the
Rowe-Eaton, salary split graft inves-
tigation became apparent today when
Percy Coffin, pres. of the civil service
board which is hearing the case an
nounced that no decision would be
rendered until after the primaries.
The session this morning was dull.
Atty Malato, for Mrs. Rowe, accused
chief Of the dept of public welfare,
was plainly trying to kill time. Most
of his examination of Mrs. Eaton was
on questions that she had already an
swered. There was no mud singing.
Malato said that he had had Mrs.
Eaton Swallowed and found she visit
ed newspaper offices.
1t was expected that Mrs. Rowe
would take the stand this afternoon.

they had held her for Investigation.
Judge Heap let her go.
Meanwhile her friend had been
making efforts to find her. He sent
Atty Edwin G. Lancaster on the trail
of the missing woman Lancaster
found her after the court proceedings
were over. He went to see S. M. Hit
and then, getting no satisfaction,
talked with Ed Hillman, himself.
Hillman admitted that the girl had
been wronged, says Lancaster.
"That was not the right way to
treat her." Atty Lancaster says he
was told. eff they suspected her and
had no evidence against her they
should have discharged the woman
and not held her as they did
please tell Miss Miller that l am
sorry for what happened.
Miss Miller says she thinks he will
be even more sorry if she. obtains a

Lancaster filed suit for $4,000 yes

Lancaster today, after commenting
on the silence of the trust press on
the department store case, explained
the letter from Miss Cohn of Cleve-

"The husband of Miss Miller was
arrested and convicted of a store
theft in Pittsburgh over a year ago.
He is out on probation. Miss Cohn
heard about this after Miss Miller had
quit her store to work in New York.
She heard that Miss Miller was also
wanted with her husband, who seems
to be a tough character. So she told
Hillman's that"

W. ". Scott Takes Important Step 50
Satisfy His Hankering to Get
Chance at Mexicans.

For two years ". W Scott, law
yer, 1898 Twenty-first street, has been
longing for an opportunity to get down
into Mexico and assist in settling up
any accounts that may exist between
this nation and the land Of the greas-
ers.
Last night he took out application
papers with Company A and every
thing indicates that he will pass all
examinations and become a member Of
the local military. Then if subse-
quent orders come which will take the
Sixth regiment to the land below the
Rio Grande he will realize one of his
life's ambitions.
When the Vera Cruz affair a little
over two years ago bObbed up as ind
eating that war was imminent between
the United States and Mexico, Scott
had a talk with Major Dunavin, then
captain of Company A. He stated that
he desired to enlist if there was any
show that Company A would get a
chance to mix things with the greas-
ers. Ever since he has kept in close
touch with the situation and has had
numerous conferences with Major
Dunavin.
Last night he appeared at the ar
mory, where he filled his application
blanks. He is determined to get into
the fray if there is any fuss and his
strength of purpose in this matter Is
so fixed that he will no doubt prove
to be one of the best men in the COM
panv.

Washington, June 2G.-Necessity for
the location by the government OF ar
SenalS and powder plants in the mid
west under plans of preparedness for
national security was shown yesterday
in the house by Representative Tag
CART of Kansas.
Items in the sundry civil appropria-

ing Sl.250,000 for field artillery am

Immediately available; facilities for

hlcles, $4,000, and a storehOuse for
such valuables, S34 600, were approved.
Mr.. Iaggart, supporting the enlarge
ment OF Rock Island arsenal said:
All the preparedness program for
safety Of this country seems to be
to guard against an attack on the At
lantlc coast by some powerful nation.
If such a great power should come with
its perfected aerial service you would
see how quickly would go the arsenals
at Springfield Mass; Bridgeport,
Conn; Watervliet, \. Y; frankfort
Pa, and City Point, Va, which are all
within 80 miles of the coast, a four
hour fight on an air ship.
We have nothing away from the
coast except Rock Island. There
should be arsenals and storehouses in
the interior. safe from attack, protect
ed by the mountain watersheds. Kan
sas is not asking for an arsenal. but
any place in the midwest would be
better than locations in Connecticut
at New York, Philadelphia, Whining
| ton, Del, and City Point. Va.
ArSenals Open to Attack.
Washington located these arsenals
in Connecticut and other coast points
| when he was president and he thought
them far enough inland at that time
for security. Besides there were nc
| railroads then and the finished NUM-
| lions had to be hauled to the army
from the point Of manufacture and
assembly.
1T is silly to go before the country
on the argument of preparedness and
then more preparedness and have tC
admit that our arsenaIs are open tc
| easy attack and destruction by any
/ enemy.
The center Of safety for ammuni-
/ tons plant is the point farthest dis
| tant from the coasts and from the Dor
ders. The question of transportation
! is an easy one now. Rock Island is
/ admirably located, but other plants
should be located as safely by the gov.
eminent"

EXPECT INCREASE
TO Marine CORPS
Sergeant E. X. Hill in Charge of Rock
Island Recruiting Station. Looks
for Many Applicants.

That the Mexican crisis will prove a
large factor in increasing the number
of enlistments in the United States
marine corps was the prediction
made today by Sergeant E. X. Hill. in
charge of the Rock Island recruiting
station at 1S2112 Second avenue.
The office was established here
seven weeks ago and recruiting bust
ness has been quite slack since then"
Sergeant Hill said Yesterday It
picked up a trifle and | had two appli-
canIs. l expect that it will continue
10 increase from now on, as it is quite
likely if war is declared the marines
will play an important part in the at
tack.
Marines are soldiers of the sea.
They are usually the first forces to
land and because Of this are an i'm
portant part in the offensive in any
war. The impending trouble with
Mexico will likely give the marines an
excellent chance to show the stuff they
are made of"
