No Great Significance, However,
Apparently Attached to Report
of Mexican's Move.

Acting Secretary Phillips of the
comment in any way on the reported
arrival in Mexico City of Gen. Blan-
quet. war minister in the Huerta re-
gime and avowedly second in COM
mand of the Felix Diaz revolutionary
movement. He admitted, however.
of the report. Inquiry in other official
quarters showed that no great signifi-
canoe was attached to the movements
of Gen. Banquet at this time, owing
TO his age-he is about seventy years
old-and the further fact that Felix
Diaz, nephew Of the former President,
has been endeavoring to obtain politi-
cal control of Mexico, without success.
intermittently, since the overthrow of
his uncle many years ago.
Whether the undertaking now join
ed by Gen. Banquet with a staff of
old Mexican army officers. will make
greater headway than those that have
gone before no one here ventures to
predict.
Ambassador Bonillas said today the
government Of Mexico was fully capa-
BILE of dealing with the revolutionists-
The Mexican government would
rather have these and other revolu-
tionists in Mexico than out of it," said
the ambassador. When they are out
of the country they are constantly
plotting and trying to get assistance
for their schemes. Once they get into
Mexico, however, the government is
able to deal with them in an appro-
pirate manner"
The ambassador said that he had
received no advices recently from
Mexico on the subject of revolution
lists. He seemed inclined to doubt,
slowever. that the revolutionistS ac-
tually landed near Vera Cruz. He had
heard from unofficial sources that it
Eas quite likely that. the revolution
lists had landed at some other place
and the announcement regarding the
Vera Cruz coast was a blind to pro-
tect their exact whereabouts.

FIRE CLASS FOR
NEARBY CITIES
Mrs. Christine Nelson.

Glasses on methods used by met
ropolitan fire departments should
be established in the tri-cities, &C
cording to Colonel Harry B. Jordan,
commandant of Rock Island ar
Senal.
In order to give impetus to plans
along this line, members of the ar
senal fire department will give an
expert exhibition of fire fighting on
the island tomorrow afternoon for
the purpose of showing fire chiefs,
mayors, commissioners and coun-
cilmen of Rock Island, Moline and
Davenport the latest methods in
combating fires. The exhibition was
arranged by Colonel Jordan.
Greater efficiency and more CO.
operation in fighting fires will re-
suit from the exhibition and the
visit of the tri-city officials to the
arsenal, the colonel believes.
The chief of the arsenal fire de-
psrtment is a graduate of the New

CHARGE
PROFITEERS IN
CROSS COMBINE
w. B. Harris, Grocer, Says Milk
Supply Was Cut OF Because
He UndersOld Others.

W. B. Harris, proprietor of a
grocery store On the northeast cor
ner of Eighteenth avenue and
Thirtieth street, today laid a
charge of a gross combine with
profiteering as the result, at the
door of a milk producer and other
retail grocers.
MY milk supply was shut off to-
day because l undersOld other re-
tailers in this section of the city
Mr.. Harris told an Argus reporter
who interviewed him after learn
ing that the grocer had made Wig
orous efforts to determine the man
ner in which he could report the
case to the attorney general
Office.
Il had been buying milk of this
producer for 6 cents a pint. selling
it for z cents, and for II cents =
quart and selling il for Is cents.
Other dealers buying from the
same producer, at the same price
1 paid, charged cents a pint and
Is cents a quart They informed
him if he intended to continue to
sell milk to them he would have to
discontinue selling to me He told
me this morning he could supply
me no longer.
Il operate my store strictly on
the cash and carry plan. There
are no charge accounts and no de-
liveries. The milk business gave
me a quick turnover of profit OF
16 2-3 per cent on the pints and
s 1-3 per cent on the quarts, which
l considered sufficient.
Enough Profit.
There is sufficient profit there
for me. 1t is quick profit, too. You
put in the morning and sell out in
the afternoon. The deal handed me
is nothing short of boycotting me
in restraint of trade. Not that l
worry about buying from this par
ticular dealer because l have no
fear of not getting milk supply l
have already made arrangements
to get milk and won't have to fear
selling it at a figure that think
just.
But the thing has rolled me. 1t
can't hurt the dealers as much as
the public to let this thing go on.
You can put me down as ready to
prosecute to the last ditch If they
only start an investigation.

Grief-Stricken Parents of Katie
MOeller Offer Fifty Dollars for
Finding Of Body.

A reward of $50 has been offered
by Jacob Moeller, the stricken
father of Katherine Moeller, the
year-old girl who umped to her
death from the rail of the Rock
Island bridge yesterday morning,
TO anyone who can recover the
body.
Every possible effort is being
made to find the body, but all at
tempts have thus far proved futile.
The river and banks will be close
ly watched, but it is feared that
the current will have carried the
body far beyond recovery.
1t is the hope of the distracted
parents that some one may be led
to take up the search independ-
emily that has led the father to
make this offer No further light
has been shed on the mystery Of
the motive which prompted the
young woman in her leap to death.

Italian forces in Fiume. received
the correspondent of the Associat-
ed Press this afternoon and gave
TO him a statement expressing his
nnalterable determination to hold
Fiume until it is annexed to Italy.
I'VE are glad to see you in FL

pendent. I'VE are here to stay
until we are through with our task
of having Fiume annexed to Italy.
We will not leave under any con-
sideration until our object is &C

You see the enthusiasm of the
people of Fiume to be annexed.

D'AnnunZio appeared tired and
worn out. The last few days have
imposed the severest strain upon
him. He has been rising at $50
in the morning TO commence the
work of answering letters and
drafting proClamations. This has
been his task in addition to attend
ing to staff work in connection
with the forces of occupation IN
der his command. One of his sec
retaries said that d Annunzio had
received 500 persons Friday and
that at the close of every day he is
exhausted.
At the interview d Annunzio
wore the uniform of a lieutenant
colonel. with five rows of ribbons.
including those of 16 medals fer
yalor. The staff of the poet con-
sists mainly of young men. There
are no officers in Fiume above the
rank of lieutenant-colonel Out of
10 officers on the staff of d. Annun-
zio. seven won the Italian gold
medal of Yalor. of which only %
were bestowed during the war.
The soldiers displayed a most in
tense admiration for d Annunzio.
One of them said to the CORES
pondent:
He is the greatest man in the
world. We are willing to follow
him to death"
The chief of d. Annunzios order
lies said that the poet was a hard
worker and was able to do more
than any four officers. He was up
early engaged in writing and 9TH
er work which his assistants were
unable to do. He had a number of
assistants but they were only boys
compared with him.
Demonstrations occur virtually
every evening in Fiume. Some
times it is the Alpine mountain
GERS, sometimes the Arditi of Ber-
saglieri who get up parade and
march through town singing and
cheering the d. Annunzio colors.
The d Annunzio troops are quar-
tered in the schools of the city.
