PICTURES SHOW
MAN AT TACOMA

Sheriff Fleming Wires Western
Authorities to Release Sus-
pect Held There.

He is not the man." wired back
Sheriff J. p. Fleming this morning
following the receipt yesterday of
photograph of the suspect held
by the Tacoma, Wash, police as
being Lee Landers.
HE no more resembles Landers
than you or L." declared Sheriff
Fleming to an Argus representa-
tive this morning. Il can't under
stand why they held him for a
minute From the description fur
nished me he differs in almost ev-
cry particular from Lee-there
seems to be no hint of a resem-
blance."
The picture as received by the
local official depicts an ex-convict,
age "a years, feet 10 inches in
height, weight 1874 pounds, com
plexion dark, SCARED and peck
marked features, and a partially
bald head His name is given as
John W. Kane.
Landers is 6 feet l inch tall,
clear-skinned, and is over 10 year
younger than Kane. and was born
and reared in Mercer county. Chi
cago is given as Kane's birthplace.
Marks Do Not Tally.
Why the authorities OF the north
western city should arrest a man
with no more resemblance to Ian
ders than the one whose picture
he received is mystifying Sheriff
Fleming, who is prone to believe
that there has been some mistake
made. A set of finger print iden-
LITIGATION marks accompanied the
photo. They are at total variance
with those of Landers'.
The arrival of the. communica-
ton from Chief H. M. Smith of
Tacoma yesterday OPPORTUNITY
averted a trip to the coast planned
by Sheriff Fleming, following a
conference with States Attorney
Oscar E. Carlstrom late Saturday
afternoon. Both officials were
much concerned at the absolute 81
lence maintained by the Washing
ton police up until yesterday, and
it was deemed advisable that the
sheriff start for Tacoma to untan-
gle the snarl started at the receipt
of Chief Smiths wire two weeks
ago announcing that he had a man
who answered the New Boston
slayer's description.

TWO RESIGN ON
SCHOOL STAFF
Additional Vacancies Occur in
Teaching Force of East Mo-
line High School.

The teaching staff of the East
Moline high school has been
further reduced by the resignation
of Miss Margaret Robotham, COM
mercial instructor, who has accept
ed a higher salaried position in a
township high school near Chicago
and Miss Margaret Olmstead If
the mathematics department.
These designations bring the
number of vacancies in the school
to five, three having resigned in
June to get married. j. W. Casio,
principal. has succeeded in filling
two of the vacancies to date.
Mr.. Castor, in company of his
wife, will leave for Milwaukee

education association convention
which opens Monday, June 80.
While there the superintendent will
try to obtain three more instruc-
tors. He has a wide field to chose
from in that locality and if he is
not successful there he sure can
complete his staff from the normal
schools in Chicago.

Mr. Casio will also inspect vari-
Gus equipment that is to be brought

Recorded on Strength of Scar

Chicago. Ill, July 30.-Decided
upturns in the price of corn re-
suited today from scarcity of offer
ings. Attention conferred largely
on the fact that stocks in store
were meager, and that the move
ment of new wheat threatened to
retard the handling of other grain.
Besides, the outlook for the new
corn crop was reported as only
fair. Opening prices, which rang
ed from y c off to 1c advance, with
September at It's to 1.75h and
December at 1.5315 to 1889. were
followed by a sharp general ascent
to well above Saturdays finish.
Oats were stronger with corn.
After opening 15c lower to Ac
gain, including September at 68A
to $50. the market scored a mod
crate advance all around.
1rregularity and dulluess char
acterized provisions. The fact that
hog values were weak tended to
Offset the bullish influence of corn.
Bullish domestic crop estimates
together with increased European
demand for Argentine supplies
kept the bulls in control The close
was unsettled, nc to NC net high
er with September $1.76% to
