Seek Separation from One

July lie, when, he sets forth, he
was forced to leave the home be
cause the air was so frigid from
the very start that the plaintiff
could see that he was not wanted.
He further sets forth in the bill
that his wife and her sister look so
much alike that 1t is practically
impossible to distinguish between
them. He says the two sisters have
been constantly together for years
and the defendant confesses that
she has such an abnormal love for
her sister that no man could live
happily with her.
She also admits, the plaintiff
says, that she cannot live away
from her companion and cares
more for her sister than for the
plaintiff. Mr.. Feeney explains in
the bill that the bond between the
defendant and her sister is so I'M
natural and exceptional that he
cannot understand the cause. His
wife. he charges, refuses to leave
the family home.

FIND BODY OF
MAN IN CANAL
ABOVE BRIDGES
Victim OF Drowning, Believed To
Be Martin Cain Of Moline, Dis
covered in Water.

A man believed to be Martin
Cain of Moline was drowned in the
Hennepin canal, where he had
gone fishing. yesterday morning.
The body was first discovered at
about 11:45 in the morning, at a
point near the upper lock, about a
mile above the bridges.
Louis SeIle of the Belle Bros.
grocery, first discovered the body,
lying prone in the water, and only
partially submerged, a few feet
from the shore. The fishing poles
and tackle were on the shore near
by. Mr.. SeIle notified fishermen
some distance further up, and then
sent word to Police Magistrate
David J. Cleland. who removed the
body from the water. The mans
watch was still running and all
circumstances pointed to the fact
that he had been in the water but
a short time. Mr.. Selle, who had
gone to the river to fish, and other
fishermen testified to having talked
to Mr.. Cain less than an : ur be-
fore.
MIR. Cain is said to have left his
home in Moline at about o'clock
in the morning in an automobile.
On the road the car became stuck
in the mud, and he securd a truck
to drag it out. for which he paid
81. He was later heard to say to
one of the men who was fishing in
the canal, II don't suppose / can
catch 81 worth of fish"
Partially Floating.
Police Magistrate CIeland stated
that the body was partially float
ing, in a peculiar manner. and
that possibly the coat, which was
caught on the rock in the shall
lows near shore kept the body on
the surface. In his opinion the
man may have been overcome by
a stroke of heart failure. and los
ing his balance have slipped off
into the water.
An inquest was conducted this
afternoon, at which an attempt
was made to determine the exact
manner in which he came to his
death.
Mr. Cain is known to have a
mother surviving him whose home
is in Moline, but who at noon had
not been located.

AVIATOR With
CLEAN RECORD
RESUMES RACE
Lieutenant Earl ManZelman Stays
Here Over Sunday and Starts
East This Morning.

Rock Island entertained the
trans-continental air derbyist with
the cleanest score over Sunday.
Lieutenant Earl Manzelman,
whose plane has not needed a re-
pair either on the trip west to
Frisco or the return east to Min
cola, arrived at Rock Island field
at 4:3F Saturday afternoon and de-
parted this morning for Chicago at
7:11.
Although 985 miles from Min
eola- Lieutenant Manzelman indi-
Gated his intention to strive to make
the remainder of his trip without
a repair necessary to his De Havi-
land-4 machine. He is third of the
returning eastbound flyers, Lieu
tenant W. B. Maynard, who arriv-
ed at Mineola Saturday afternoon.
being first and Captain ]. o. Don
aldson, who reached Binghampton,
N. Y, JAZZ miles from Mineola, be-
ing second. Barring accidents sec
ond honors will go to Captain Don
aldson.
Working Perfectly.
Lieutenant Manzelman's machine
was in perfect condition. He went
over his plane carefully to test it
while here and he found that it was
running in a manner which iqdi-
Gated that it would make the re-
mainder of the journey without re-
pairs, unless, however, some IN
foreseen mishap occurs. With
ManZelman as pas
senger was Max Goodnough. civil
service inspector. There were hun
dreds of motorists who visited Rock
Island field Sunday, but the lieu
tenants machine was the only one
on the ground and there wasn't
much in the way of show for the
journey.
Indications are that there will be
no further arrivals in groups in the
race at Rock Island field because
Of the fact that the pilots are fair
" well scattered along the course.
Officials at Rock Island field look
for the race to continue through
this week, but the arrival, of ma
chimes will be scattered along from
1ne day to the next with nothing in
he nature of an air circus on tap.
Two Tied West.

who had not completed the first lap

eligible to make the return trip,

CAMPAIGN PLAN
PERFECTED AT
NOON MEETING

The campaign of the Roosevelt
Memorial association, for nation
wide contribution toward a fund OF
S5,000,000 for erecting two monu-
ments and preserving a memorial
park to Theodore Roosevelt, had
its official start today, to continue
until next Monday. This noon
those who are directing the drive
in the city of Rock Island held a
meeting in the Rock Island club.
when further details of the plan
were arranged by the executive
committee and the team captains,
completing preliminary arrange
ments
L. c. Daughterty, former Rock
Island public school principal, sent
in the first subscription, check
from him for S. being received by
the executive committee this
morning. At this Moons meeting
the II who were present contrib
uted 500 to the fund. upon the
suggestion of Major Walter A, ROs-
enfield, chairman, that to promote
the general morale the heads of the
movement should first give their
donations.
Unlike former campaigns for So
Letting funds for patriotic pur
poses, the competitive idea will be
kept out of this drive. Everyone
will be asked to contribute, and he
himself is to take care of the
amount. The same certifiacet will
be issued to each donator, whether
he gives 800 or 25 cents. 1t was a
particular request of Mrs. Roose-
welt, that offerings be strictly vol
untary.
Names Of all subscribers are to
be placed in the cornerstone of the
monument in Washington.
Few Days for Organizing.
"A couple of days work ought
to see Rock Islands quota Of
$500 subscribed, after the teams
and committees all over the city
get organized and clear the decks
for action" said one of the execu-
tive committeeman this noon. An
other meeting of captains and cont
mitteemen will be held in the club
dining room Thursday noon. At
that time it is expected that the
work of actual soliciting will be
well under way. The quota for the
city is so small that no trouble is
anticipated in raising it, and the
committee agreed today that be-
yond the amount of $500. no re-
quests for contributions would be
made.
