William Weber I9GumshOes" for Nearly
a Week Before He Locates Man

GOES TO SLEEP ON RIVER BANK
Discovers Then That Newly Formed
Companion is Missing and So
is His Suit Case

Is it possible to hide for five days in
Rock Island when man turns gum
shoe artist" and searches every nook
and corner of the city to locate you?
Apparently it is. for William Weber
of Cedar Rapids sought high and low
for F. L. Daniels and not until late
Saturday was the man hunt ended.
Daniels was bound over to the grand
jury on a charge of larceny in police
court today, his bond being fixed az
$500.
Weber came to Rock Island from
Cedar RAPIDS a week ago today. He
came here to look for work and fin
ally picked up with Daniels. In the
afternoon he became sleepy and sug-
gested that they go down to the river
bank at the foot of Twenty-fOurth
street to indulge in a snOOze. They did
or rather Weber did
Daniels, Weber says. apparently did
not do much sleeping, as when Weber
woke up he found Daniels gone. Web
er's suit case, filled with clothes and
tools and a mason's level, were miss
ing.
Then the hunt for Daniels started.
Instead Of informing the police i'm
mediateIy he decided TO locate Daniels
first. He found him at the corner of
Twenty-sixth street and Fifth avenue.
Saturday He chased him. The pur-
suit ended at the corner of Twenty
first street and Third avenue, when at
Weber's request, PatrOlman Kruger
arrested Daniels.

Officer Sees Him.

Developments at the hearing today
showed that Kruger had seen Daniels
coming from the river front last Mon
day with the suit case and level and
had questioned him.
Daniels said little in his own be-
half further than to deny the charge.
The stolen property was not found or
him and police said that presumably
he disposed of the clothes and tools.

Men of Character

The H. A. Jones Real Estate company prides
itself upon the standing and character of the
men who are its representatives in the field,
less than upon their Judgment, ability and energy.
And it takes great pride in the work these l62
specialists accomplishing and, more in what
they will accomplish in the future.
Next month the H. A. Jones Real Estate
company will celebrate its fourth birthday.
In less than four years it has grown from an
exceedingly small beginning to be the most
important and most influential factor in Detroit
real estate activities today

A Super-Service

This growth in field already possessing many

Permanent Employees

Back of the size and plan of the organization
and of infinitely greater importance--is the
character of the men who do the work
They are not "hoaters" hired for some

knows that tomorrows business is founded upon
the satisfied clients of today.

Facts and Figures

Instead, he lays facts and figures, statistics
and comparative values before the buyer
Because each salesman is specialist, he
knows ALL there is to know about the piece of

He knows not only its advantages, but its dis
advantages-and he realizes that it is good bust
ness to acquaint the prospective buyer with both.

And because of the regulation and order given
by this plan the very size of the II. A. Jones Real

ties of every department and to the achievements

CAUGHT ON MAIN FIELD

An ice gorge, twenty-five feet high.
is rearing its head out of Lake Cooper
opposite Sandusky, about five miles
above the Keokuk dam. The gorge Is
caused by the ice hitting the main
sheet Of ice above the dam, and piling
up. A similar gorge was formed at
one time last year, but persons who
live in the vicinity say that 1t is a
most unusual and beautiful sight.
The gorge seems to have started at
point out in the lake opposite the L.
e. Denmire ice house. 1t was about
twenty feet high there yesterday. A
little further to the south and the ice
foes were piling up still higher. The
main field Of ice seems to be solid, and
is not affected by the current, and the
volume of water which is coming
down the river. '.... .,,.. p.
Power company officials were Of the
opinion that the main field was good
for three or four days before it
breaks up. The ice tenders will smash
it sufficiently or it can slide through
the spillways without any damage.
The normal flow Of water Is being
handled through the sp'llways now, 1t
is said, and nothing out of the ordin-
airy is expected from the northern
floods.
Because OF the swift current which
is accompanying the flood of water, 1t
was thought that the ice would be
carried along, and this makes the
gorge all the more unusual.

For Chapped, Blotchy,
Red or WrinkLed Skin

Do you realize that Just beneath that
coarse, rough or discolored complex
ion there's an exquisitely beautiful
skin of youthful tint and delicacy? If
you could only bring this complexion
to the surface, discarding the old one!
You can-in the easiest, simplest,
most natural manner Imaginable. Just
get an ounce of ordinary mercolized
wax at any drugstore, apply nightly
like cold cream, removing it mornings
with warm water. The wax assists
Nature by gradually taking off the
particles Of dead and half
dead surface skin, causing no dis
comfort whatever. Cutaneous defects
like chaps, pimples, blotches, liver
spots. moth patches, freckles, of
course disappear with the old skin.
Nothing else will accomplish such
wonderful results in SO short time.
Fine lines and even the deeper
wrinkles often appear at this season.
In such cases nothing is better than
"a face bath made by dissolving 1 OF.
powdered saxolite in " pit. witch haz-
ell. This Is remarkably effective.
