MAKES APPEAL
TO HURRY LOAN
]. L. Vernon Urges Citizens of
Rock Island to Hasten All
Subscriptions for Bonds.

Saturday, May TO-, is positively
the last day in which citizens may
participate by subscribing to the
Victory loan. This will be the last
opportunity for buying these gov
eminent securities by public sub
scription, and j. l.. Vernon, chair
man for the Victory loan. again
appeals to- citizens to buy bonds
within these two days.
Those who have not bought"
said Mr.. Vernon, have rot done
their duty by themselves or by the
government and are certainly not
the kind of citizens the nation can
be proud of or are they the kind
of citizens who contribute to the
strength, virility and character OF
the country. l realize that there
are some who cannot afford to buy
These are excepted. But, on the
other hand, there are hundreds
who can afford to buy but have
not done so. There are hundreds
who have purchased some bonds
but not by any means N accord
ance with their financial ability
to do SO.
I'VE anticipated that we were
going to be able to go over the top
with a small underwriting by the

BODY OF LOCAL
MAN RECOVERED
Remains Of Fritz Hoop Found
Floating In River Near First
Street This Morning.
DEATH THOUGHT ACCIDENTAL
Coroner Says There Is No Evidence
Supporting Theory Of Suicide
Inquest Held.

The body of a man, later identi-
fed as that of Fritz Hoop, resident
of a shanty-boat moored near First
street, was found in the Mississip-
pi river at 10 o'clock this morning
by neighbors of the missing man.
Hoop. who is judged to be man
of about 60 years of age, was last
seen at an early hour last even
ing when he started on a down.
river trip in a rowboat. 1t is as
sumed that he came to his death
by accidentally falling into the
river, the empty boat being found
floating a considerable distance
down the river
An inquest over the remains was
conducted at the Hodgson under
taking palors at $3.50 this after
noon. It is believed that Hoop
leaves widow and two children,
one daughter, Martha, being known
to be serving as a nurse in Rock
ford hospital. The widow is said
to reside in this city, while the
whereabouts of a son had not been
ascertained at a late hour proceed
ing the inquest.
According to Coroner John F.
Maberry, there is no evidence to
support the theory of suicide, the
deceased having been in good spir-
its when last seen alive by neigh
bors last night. Hoop is said to
nave followed the vocation of fish
ernan.
Was Formerly Bartender.
Hoop was formerly employed. as
a bartender, first at several of the
local saloons>and later at different
near-beer parlors. He had left
Rock Island at 8 o'clock last night
bound for the farm of F. Down
ing, four miles from the city. He
had procured a flatboat and was
evidently bent on a fishing expedi-
ton. The body when discovered
was in a cramped position, while
the f1atboat was tied to some will
lows nearby. The boat was first
discovered by F. J. O'Brien, fish
erman.

REPUBS In CITY
UNITED ON ONE
Sentiment of Rock Island G.. o. 2.
Centers in ]. Clinton Searle
for Attorney.

Sentiment of Rock Island Repub-
licans seems to have conferred in the
nomination of ]. Clinton Searle for
states attorney at the primary cleo
ton next month.
1t appears that all factions of the
city, and all who were mentioned
as candidates in Rock Island, have
united in support of Mr.. Searle. IN
dications are that Rock Island tie
publicans will present a united
front against Moline Republicans
who are split, the Pillow city having
two candidates, E. L. Eagle and
Captain B. S. Bell. In other words,
Rock Island in this primary is DO
ing what Moline has done in the
past, uniting on one candidate and
eliminating petty political SQUAD
bles from the campaign.

Hope expressed last week by

Neither journeymen nor master
