PROVIDE BALLOTS
FOR DEAD PARTY
County Clerk Hubbard Will Give Bull
MOOsers Opportunity to Partici-
pate in Primary, Sept. IL.

Although the progressive party has
gone out Of business in Illinois, COun-
~ Clerk H. B. Hubbard has decided to
furnish progressive ballots at the ap-
preaching primaries in this county,
Sept 49, The ballots will be devoid of
any names but opportunity will be
presented for erStwhile bull mOOSeI5
to write in the cognOmens of any can
didates they wish to nominate.
Under the law as County Clerk Hub
bard constructs it, he is forced to pro-
vide progressive ballots because the
party at the last general election two
years ago, pOlled over two per cent OF
the total vote cast. He holds that I'M
der the circumstances, he is required
to give individual members of the par
ty the opportunity to select candidates
for office, even though there is no par
" either in the county or the state a:
the present time.
Clerk Hubbard is also facing anOth-
er task. He is trying to estimate the
number of ballots to have printed
Since the last general election precinct
lines have been changed and several
new districts added, so that he has
nothing on which to base his deduc-
tions as to voting strength. He VIII
be compelled to guess. Under the law
he is required to furnish twice as
many ballots as there were votes cast
at the last general election.

A MURDER TRIAL
Mexican Believed Fatally Injured in
Fight Months Ago is Slowly
Recovering

There is little danger now that the
bloody fight between two Mexicans
here several months ago will develop
into a murder case. Francisco Garcia,
who was stabbed by Fortino Baris,
climax to an argument at the corner
of Twenty-third street and Third ave
nue., is able to sit up He is still at
St. Anthony's hospital.
Garcia was wounded in the shout
der 1t was at first believed that the
injury would prove fatal. Baris was
brought into police court today and
the case was continued for ten days.
At the end of that time it is believed
that Garcia will be able to appear.
The charge is assault with intent to
commit murder Both Mexicans were
section hands working for the Burling-
to railroad at Kewanee. They came to
Rock Island for a time" The quar-
rel which led up to the cutting followed
a round of the drink empoTiums in

occurred

NAB TWO WANTED
IN OTHER CITIES
Rock Island Police Pick Up Pair, One
for BettendOrf Authorities and
Other for Moline.

Rock Island police last night turned
up two men, one wanted in BettendOTf
and another in Moline. Robert Wal
tiers was arrested by PatrOlman
Kruger on a charge of stealing a suit
case full of clothes irCm his roommate
in Bettendorf. After his arrest he re-
fused at first to return to the Iowa side
without eXtrad@On papers. Polk
talked to him = while and pOinteS to
the folly of making a strenuous fight
when only a minor charge is involved
and he finally consented to go across
the river without putting the officials
to lot of trouble.
Fred Jenkinson, employed by the
Adams Express company in Rock Is
land, wanted in Moline on a charge Of
beating a board bill, was picked up By
Officer Ginnane and taken to Moline
An effort was made today to settle the
case out of court as it appears that
there had been some misunderstand-
ing which led to filing of a charge.

CAR men REFUSE

Plan 10 Take One Day on in Every

Votes in Referendum.

The proposition to take one day off
in every 10 instead of every Is. as is
now the plan. was rejected by mem
bers of Street Railway Employees
union No. 313. by a margin of but
FIVE votes, in a referendum taken
yesterday at the Moline and Rock Is
land barns Over 200 votes were cast,
showing how nearly divided the en-
plOyes are on the subject. In a vote
taken year ago the union men turn
ed down proposition TO take one day
of in every eight, and this plan was
also beaten by small majority. By
compromising and making it one day
in every 10, those behind the move
ment felt confident that it would
carry.
Balloting at the Moline barn was
held from ) until O'Clock in the
morning and at the Rock Island barn
from $50 in the morning until : last
evening. Three members of the union
acted as judges. 1t is not possible
that the matter will be agitatco again,

COMMENTS UPON
WHEAT INQUIRY

Chicago, Aug 12-RepOrts that a
federal investigation of an alleged con-
spiracy TO manipulate the wheat mar
ket had been under way for four
weeks, lead to a formal statement early
today by United States District AttOr-
ney Clyne.
Mr. CIyne said:
Whatever action the government
might be taking in this matter neces-
sarily must be withheld. Should there
be any investigation under way, it is
the policy of the government never to
reveal the information. To do this
would be defeating the very thing we
desire to accomplish in such matters.
An investigation of the wheat situa-
ton or any other situation must re
quire deliberate action. Should any
plans be made known in advance of
our attempts to gather sufficient evil
dence to indict, it would be the signal
for the market manipulatOrs TO take
to cover
E y. Hurley, chairman of the fed
eral trade commission, who arrived
yesterday was expected to continue
his investigation today into the situa-
ton affecting prices of bread.

FOSTER SUGGESTS
A NEW BEACH SITE
City Health Commissioner Points to
Advantages OF Place at Extreme
West End.
IDEAL FOR SWIMMING HE STATES
Eddy Above Makes il Free From Sew
erage and Oil That Floats on Wat
er at Foot of Seventh.

DR.. c. T. Foster, city health physi-
clan is enthusiastic over the idea of
real municipal bathing beach for Rock
Island, and today commended The Ar
gus for making the suggestion. Il have
had the municipal beach idea in mind
all summer" he stated, but have not
had time personally to give my atten-
ton to it. 1t is a bit late to do much
this year, but in 1917 the city COM
mission should see to it that Rock Is
land has the finest municipal beach in
this part of the state"
He stated that Rock Island is at a
disadvantage because of lack OF nat
ural sites, but that this should not
deter the city heads from carrying out
the idea. q have discovered the only
ideal spot for such a beach, along the
Mississippi shore" declared DR.. Fost-
er, and | did not reach a decision on
it until l had made a careful eXamin
alton of all possible places. The site
at the foot of Seventh street, deter
mined upon two years ago by Com
missioner Jonas Bear, is all right as
far as the depth OF water goes, but the
water at this point is polluded with
sewerage and oil from above. The site
| refer to lies between the Rock Island
Iron Works and the city detention hos
pital. 1t is three blocks from the foot
of the Fourth avenue line, this being
the only Objectionable feature, but
who minds a three-block hike for a
good swim?
The city detention hospital is not
often in use during the summer, and
it is thoroughly cleaned and fumigat-
ed so there can be no objections to
this. The caretaker at the detention
hospital could be given a permanent
TnCitinn tul Of oh DIM.
ing the swimming season.
Water Is Clean.
There is a natural eddy at this
point and the water is free from con
tamination of sewerage and oil from
Moline and East Moline There is but
little current, with a fine sand bottom
and one can wade out for 100 yards
before going beyond ones depth. The
bottom at this point could be cleared
at little expense. l have been adyo-
eating the parking of the grounds sur
rounding the hospital to the rivers
edge and would now recommend that
parking be extended as far as the
beach would gO''
The small bathhouse, now at the
foot Of Seventh street, could be placed
on a barge and towed to the new site.
Need Larger BathhOuSe.
Early next season a movement
should be started at once to make the
beach complete in every respect. The
small bathhOuse now in use. could
possibly be used as one wing of new
bathhouse, a ladies' wing to be placed
on the opposite end, with the care
takers quarters in the center, similar
to the bathhOuse at Prospect park
The feasibility fthe plan as sug-
gested is apparent and start might
be made now to provide at least a
temporary beach for the remaining
weeks of bathing this season.
