sion of the Rock Island Rotary
club. Paul Preston and Frank
Peterson spoke, the former from
the standpoint OF the general adj
vertiser. using standard publica-
tons, and the latter more particu-
larry upon the use Of novelties!
Mr.. Preston emphasized the i'm
portance OF having q selling point
and hammering 1t in rather than
use Of space without specific aim.
He predicted that the time will
come when professional men will
overcome their scruples against
frank use of the public prints to in
crease their business and when
many lines of trade which do not
now consider publicity necessary,
will be paying regularly for space
in the newspapers.
Mr.. Patterson cited some of the
conspicuous successes which have
been made purely through advertis-

FORMER ALEDO
man ENDS LIFE
John NJ. Wilson, States Attorney
Of Mercer County for Two
Years, Takes His Life.
Especial to The Argus.)


AledoI ILL.,, June 10.-John M
Wilson, aged about So years, for Is
years prominent practicing attor-
ney in Aledo and for two terms
states attorney of Mercer county,
committed suicide yesterday morn
ing at his home in Stuttgart, Ark,
by shooting. Word Of his death was
received here late yesterday after
noon.
Cause of his deed has not been
learned, but it is believed that loss
OF health was the greatest contrib
uting cause.
Wilson was popular young man
with bright prospects in his pro-
fession, when his health began to
fail. He had been successful in
Aledo, and went to Arkansas with
hopefulness. Handicapped by ILL
ness he concluded to return to a
northern climate, and he made in
quiry of c. ]. Searle of Rock Island
If he could give him temporary en-
ployment while he was re-arTang-
ing his affairs. Mr.. Searle gave
him such employment for a month,
at the end of which he returned to
Stuttgart for the purpose of bring
ing his family Mr.. Searle said to-
day that his understanding was
that Wilson had practically ar
ranged a firm connection with an
Aledo lawyer.
Telegraphic reports say that
Wilson entered a hardware store
and said he wanted to buy a re-
volver, and when the clerks back
was turned, he slipped shell into
the weapon and fired a bullet into
his head.
The first Jews of the tragedy was
received by his brother, Fred Will

RETAIL CLERKS
PLAN To FORM
ASSOCIATION
Organizer Of International Body is
in Rock Island to Hold
Two Meetings.

Retail clerks Of Rock Island are
TO be organized and affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor.
S. r. Hamnersmark OF Chicago.
organizer for the. Retail Clerks
Protective association, is in Rock
Island preparing for two meetings
OF clerks, one to be held tomorrow
night at Industrial hall and one to
DO held Monday night Both meet
ings will convene at 8 O'Clock.
Several years ago a union of re-
tail clerks was organized here, but
1t had an unsuccessful career. Re-
verses resulted in lack % interest,
due largely to the fact that the
membership was small.
Mr.. Hammersmark said today
that it is the purpose of the asso-
citation to get every clerk in the
city affiliated with the union. He
is not discouraged through the
failure of the former union, and
believes that with proper preli1n-
mary organization the proposed
association will meet a better fate
than its predecessor.

NO settlement
ON STREET CAR
WAGE OBTAINED
Conference Tomorrow Expected to
Be Last Before Arbitration
Board Takes a Hand.

A final endeavor to reach an
agreement without an arbitration
board will be made between union
street railway trainmen and the
Tri-City Railway company at a con-
ference which will be held tomor-
row afternoon.
At the meeting between repre-
sentatives of the three divisions and
the company officials yesterday,
they were brought no nearer an
agreement than they had been pre-
vious to the meeting. Indications
are that the company will not meet
the demands of the men at the con
ference tomorrow and it Is certain
that the men will continue to insist
upon a 62 cent wage.
Should tomorrow's session bring
forth no settlement of the matter
of wages, the only recourse is to
place the matter in the hands OF
an arbitration board. The existing
contract between the union divi-
sions and the street car company
calls for an arbitration board in the
event that settlement cannot be
reached otherwise. On the srbitra-
ton board there will be a repre-
sentative of the company and a rep
resentative of the men.
Should they fail to come to a set
Element, they are empowered to call
in a third person to conference.
AS has been stated before, all ques-
tions except the matter OF wages,
which were at issue in the present
discussions, have been settled.
