BEANS AND BONES
BILL HELD UP

In face OF the revelations concerning
the quality Of the food served to the
prisoners in the Marion county Jail,
Sheriff Robert F. Miller today asked the
county commissioners to allow him ST.
612.40 for boarding county prisoners from
Feb % to March 30
The county comm issioners failed 10 al
low the claim at this time and continued
the matter until a future session OF the
board
we did not allow it." said Joseph
Hayes, county commissioner.
That Is, not today" said Carlin
Shank. another commissioner.
I'VE may allow It some other day"
HAYES SAYS HE
FAILS TO UNDERSTAND"
Commissioner Hayes called the com
mlssioners' attention to the fact that he
failed to understand certain notations
on the sherin's report for feeding the
prisoners.
The report showed the number OF
meals said 70 have been served TO eacn
prisoner Mt the jail from Feb. IS to
March 30.
The sheriff is allowed 90 cents DAY
FOR boarding each county prisoner.
In view Of the sensational charges in
the federal court that Miller's menu In
no way exhausted the daily allotment Of
60 cents a prisoner. the commissioners
took under Amusement Miilers board bin
for the last thirty days.
Heretofore the commissioners have al
lowed the big board biTs submitted 20
them without any question unless one
was raised by Commissioner Hayes
The courthouse today was again in
confusion over the disclosures IN the fed
eral court against Miller and his man
agement Of the county jail.
BETTER SEE JUDGE"
BRINGS QUICK ACTION.
While the commissioners were dis
cussing Miller's board bill. County At
torney Harry Hendrickson appeared and
told President Lewis George that Il had
been suggested that the commissioner
90 10 the chambers OF Federal Judge
Anderson and discuss a plan for the
commissioners making a contract direct
with the federal officials for feeding
federal prisoners.
President George adjusted his hat and
started In the direction Of the federal
building.
Carlin Shank didn't take time to comb
his hair, while Commissioner Joseph
Hayes stopped IN the middle Of row Of
figures TO leave FOR the federal building.

a loss of soc for the hogs from 100 to
250 pounds, 25c for the hogs from 25O to
275 and the bulk of the market on It's
merits, which in the absence of orders
ruled about 25c lower.

ty fair.
Ed McFarlane, acting secretary
OF the Mercer county fair board.

Mercer county is a part and an
nounced the dates as given.
Mr.. McFarlane was accompanied
to Kewanee by Guy Van Alta. last
years general superintendent. A.
new circuit secretary was elected
at yesterdays meeting. An effort
was made to have the Mercer coun-
ty event dated even earlier, but was
not successful. One week earlier
will help some, according to Mr..
McFarlane. The effort was made
because Of the fall rains. which i'm
peded the work and events at tho
fair last year. 1t has been Gus
tomary to have the fair during the
week from the Goth OF September
on.
The election Of a new circuit
secretary was made necessary by
the resignation OF Charles Gimble.
who has acted in this capacity for
some time. John T. Grady waS
named as the recorder OF events
for the coming season. Feb. s has
been set as the next meeting date
Of the circuit board, when the pre-
MUM list will be revised 30 as to

STOCK MARKET
HAS DULL DAY
IN BIG ISSUES

New York, Jan. s.-Ths morning
session Of today's stock market was
dull, the only noteworthy changes
being among obscure specialties Of
stocks in which an extensive short
interest Is said to exist. Foremost
among these, at gains OF / to 5
points. were Gulf States Steel.
Baldwin Locomotive, American In
ternatfonal, American Tobacco Sc
curities and Ohio Cities Gas. Unit
ed States Steel was well supported
but oils, Mexican Petroleum ex-
cepted, remained under pressure.
United States Rubber gave no hint
OF extra dividends action at today's
meeting OF the directors and Amer
lean Wooden was comparatively
heavy. The s per cent opening
rate for call loans failed to stimus
late trading at noon.
New York, Jan. S.-The policy Of
the federal reserve board respect
ing loans for Speculative purposes
was again a deterrent influence at
the sluggish opening Of today's
stock market. Metal and food
shares were the only issues to show
a. degree of firmness, the usual
leaders, especially oils and motors
displaying moderate heaviness.
Rails were almost entirely neglect
ed and high class industrials re-
corded fractional declines,

RELATIVES Of
LITTLE IN CITY
Statements by Brother Strengthens
Suicide Theory-Body Is
Shipped for Burial.

Mrs. Maude Lemmer Little, wife
Of the late r. E. Little. who was
found dead in the cellar Of the
Macklin millinery store on Tues
day afternoon. and her mother.
were in the city yesterday to ar
range for the funeral Of the dead
man, Mr.. Little's brother, F. p.
Little, was in the city also. The
body was shipped this morning to
the home of the father, J. NJ. Little.
In Vermont, ILL.,, for burial this aft
ernoon.
The theory of suicide with the
death of Mr.. Little was strength
ened by the statement by his
brother to the effect that Mr.. Lit
tie had been acting strangely for
some time. 1t is thought that the
disgrace Of arrest caused the man
to lose his mind. On Dec. 5, 1919,
he was arrested for failure to pay
alimony to his divorced wife. Upon
making the assertion that he could
obtain the money from his sister
in Galesburg II he could mako te!e-
phone connections, he was released
on bonds, H. r. Morgan, signing his
bond for $500.
Failing in the attempt to estab-
lish communication with his sister
is thought to have brought a great
fear into the mind Of the man that
he would have to serve a Jail SEN
tence. He was seen by several peo-
pie in the city Saturday morning
and as late as $3.50 Saturday even
ing. the day following his arrest.
On Monday, Dec. s, he could not be
located and it was thought that ne
had jumped his bond. Notices were
sent out for his apprehension, but
no trace could be found OF tho
man.
AS a peculiar instant relative to
the, tragedy was the word that the
glass that was found with the boy
is one which was missed from Its
customary place near the water
faucet in the room next to the mil
linery store. Mrs. Macklin, who
conducts the store, stated that
VIXEN she missed the glass on Sun
day morning and the word came
that Little was missing. she asked
her daughter, Lila, if it could be
possible that Mr.. Little took that
glass and went into the cellar to
end his life. Because OF the conil-
dence that the ladies placed in the
man, the thought was dismissed
from their minds, and the fact that
the glass was missing was not re-
ported to the sheriff.
The dead man was born near
Galesburg in 1876 and lived with
his parents most of his life. HI
! was married several years ago and
to this union four children were
born. On June IS, 1919. he was d.
vorced. Five months later on Nov
| 81 he married Miss Lemmer IN
Davenport. Miss Lemmer. previous
to that time, taught school in this
vicinity. She is young woman
about 81 years of age. 1t Is ex.
pected that verdict Of suicide viii
be returned by the coroner's jury
which met at 2::30 this afternoon.
