Dolly Chesher Taken From
Wattery Grave at Chicago.

lieved to be that of Mrs. Dolly

ton
When Mrs. Chesher disappeared
she had left the Parker home for a
brief walk, accompanied by a Small
pet dog. The animal was found
near the lake a few days later.
There were rumors of an elope-
ment and several persons told the
police of having seen a woman of
her description on a street car ac-
companied by an army officer.
The suicide theory was secuted
by her employers and family and
the police finally decided she prob
ably fell into the lake. This ex-
planation was recalled today as the
body bore no indications of vio-
lence.

American minister to Rumania to
investigate reports of atrocities in

.Aledo, Ill, June 27-Fighting at
odds of 6 to l and clad only in
nightshirt, Walter Lee, farm
hand, was the victor in a mid
night war against a band of al
legged robbers on the farm of Vir-
gil Nelson, one mile from Peters
vile, Ill, and II miles northwest
of Aledo. The authorities are mys-

Using a Winchester repeating
shotgun, Lee blazed away at the
dark forms which surrounded the
Nelson house, and then gave chase
as the supposed robbers were rout-
ed by the flying buckshot. Over
fences, across meadows and finally
up the road leading into Peters
Vile, Lee pursued the men in his
white nightie and bare feet, all the
while pumping lead at what he be-
lieved to be the fast retreating
bandits.
At 1 o'clock this morning Sher-
riff John P. Fleming received a
telephone message from Nelson
asking immediate aid.
The sheriff rushed a posse to his
farm at once, claiming that they
were fighting an uneven battle
against an enemy of unknown
strength.
On Guard With Trusty Gun.
The sheriff started for the Nelson
farm in a machine, reaching the
scene of battle a little past 2
o'clock All was quiet when they
arrived, though Lee was still on
guard with his trusty gun, and the
rest of the household had bar
racaded themselves in the house.
1t Was Like This
In an excited manner, Nelson and
Lee told the sheriff the following
account of their midnight war: The
two men had gone to Petersville
early in the evening, returning be-
tween 9 and $50. They found Mrs.
Nelson and the hired girl in hys-
terics and for a time neither could
explain the cause of their fright.
Finally regaining their power of
speech they said that several men,
believed to be five or six, had at
tempted to force an entrance into
the house, but that they had been
frightened away by the women's
screams.
They barracaded the doors and
anxiously awaited the return of the
men. Nelson and Lee made a
search of the premises, but could
find no one. Thinking that it prob
ably had been a tramp who had

Poincaire at Dinner in
Wilson's Honor Urges
Allies Vigilance.

Paris, Thursday, June 26.-The
allies duty is to be vigilant in en-
forcing the peace terms, and a
tribute to American participation
in the war, were among subjects
discussed by President Poincaire
at the dinner which he and Mad
anne Poincaire gave to President
and Mrs. Wilson and delegates to
the peace conference tonight.
President Poincaire's speech pre-
ceded that of President Wilson,
who bade a formal farewell to
France and the French people and
expressed the belief that the peace
conference had created a friend
ship that would make increasing
sympathy between the peoples and
greater cooperation ecor omically.
Is Scene Of SplendOr.
The dinner was given in the
great Sale des Fetes, which was
beautifully decorated with flowers
and flags. There were present Dip
lomats and delegates from all
countries attending the conference,
marshaIs of France, members of
the cabinet, former p1 emiers, pres
idents of the chamber of deputies
and the senate, and other function
aries.
The dinner table was in the form
of a horseshoe with 230 covers.
Mrs. Wilson sat at President Poin-
caire's left and Nine. Poincaire at
President Wilson's right.
Pays Tribute to Z. s.
President Poincaire, iii giving a
toast to President Wilson, paid
tribute to American participation
in the war, reviewed the work of
the peace conference, and outlined
what remains to be done. He said:
"The treaties once signed must
be wholly applied and persistence
on our account will be no less in
dispensable to their execution.
The delegates of the victorious
countries have not met during
these long months and have not
convoked to Versailles the dele
gates of conquered Germany in or
der to retain in their hands moth
ing but a simple piece of paper.
Want Terms Observed.
I'VE want, all of US, as you do.
Mr.. President, that this piece be
not vain words, that it be not
fugitive hope, and that it be not
passing flash of joy appearing for
one evening in bloodstained Eur
ope. We want, as you do, that the
society of nations shall become a
beneficient reality. We want, as
you do, that all the clauses to
which our enemies are going to
subscribe. be loyalty observed.
The disposition ssl,,;--- by viola
tions in advance of a treaty that
one is going to undertake to re-
spect makes it our duty to watch
carefully to see that criminal
hands do not rekindle sooner or
later the conf1agration which we
have smothered.
Do Not Show Repentance.
German ships sunk by their
crews, French flags burned, AMI
demonstrations before the new
Polish frontier are not signs of re-
pentance.
1--WE must remain together, firm
ly united, to gather the fruits of
the victory that we obtained to-
gether."

A deal which was closed yester-
day by the hotel committee of the
Chamber of Commerce practically
assures to Rock Island new
100000 hotel.
1t has been known foF some time
that a committee had been appoint
ed by the Chamber of Commerce
for the purpose of working out a
definite proposition for the erec-
tion of a new hotel, but the prop
osition had not sufficiently matur
ed until yesterday to give out def
mite assurance that the project
would go through.
The plans proposed contemplate
a 10story structure covering a
ground floor space 120 by 14O feet.
Provision is made for considerable
revenue paying store rooms on the
first floor Each of the 200 rooms
will have bath and the 10th floor
will be topped by a roof garden.
Plans on Monday.
1t is expected that temporary
plans and prospectus Will be plac-
ed in The hands of architects on
Monday. The structure will be To-
Gated on the southeast corner of
Nineteenth street and Third ave-
nue., running from Third avenue
to the alley and from Nineteenth
street to the garage property. The
property involved in the deal takes
in so feet previously owned by
George Roth, 27 feet by II. H.
Cleveland and 80 feet owned by
Henry Frick. The Roth property
cost $4,000, the CIeaveland piece
$13, 500, and the Frick piece S1S,-
500, making a total of $4,000 for
the ground.
The committee is not giving out
the details regarding the manner
in which the project is to be
financed. 1t is known that the
committee has under considera-
tion two definite propositions-one
which contemplates making it an
entirely local proposition and the
other requiring some small local
financing, the bulk of the money
coming from the outside. H. H
Cleaveiand and F. W. Bender, mem
bers of the committee, are in Chi
cago today in conference with
the outside parties who are inter
ested. However, it is stated that
both projects have proceeded far
enough to give positive assurance
that the hotel project will be put
through and that the ground will
be broken for the foundation BY
Sept. Is.
Hotel Committee.
The committee working on the
proposition and responsible for its
successful development is com
posed of H. H. CleaveIand. 1. S.
White. M. S. Heagy, Frank Mixter,
H. S. Cable. Walter A. Rosenfield,
]. L. Vernon and Hugh Curtis.
This committee has been meeting
almost daily on the proposition and
has thus far been able to overcome
the many obstacles which con-
fronted it.
