III. AHgele Hrnlkyilla Does Not
81 q Eat Nor 6lssp 6ince Husband
Was Murdered.

Fear that Mrs. Angelo Frank
villa, widow Of the Italian power
House workman who was murdered
1 week ago, may suffer serious re-
suits from lack Of food and sleep,
Is entertained by Chief Ben De
Jaeger Of the Moline police. The
chief stated today that the woman
has had practically no food or
sleep since her husband was killed.
She il . victim Of worry over her
fate and that of her children.
Mrs. Frankvilla has many friends
who are willing to care for her, but
despite this she refuses to take food
and maintains that she cannot
sleep.
James and Dominick Delorenzo
are awaiting preliminary charges
Of murder. The hearing will be be-
fore Police Magistrate Gustafson
next Tuesday. Further than this
there are no new clues to the muir
der mystery.
Speaking OF relief measures,
Chief De Jaeger declared that it is
a case fof Rock Island authorities
inasmuch as Mrs. Frankvilla lives
in Rock Island. He said the Moline
police have the responsibility Of
solving the murder because Frank
villa was found dead in Moline.
Chief De Jaeger denies, however,
that Mrs Frankvilla is in destitute
circumstances. He learned that a
year ago they sold their home in
Silvis and received $4,000 for it.
Since then Frankvilla had been
working every day, including Sun
day, and had averaged about $45
per week.

ROCK ISLANDER
LETS CAR STAND;
POLICE TAKE IT

l. Alexenberg, 1342 TWELFTH
street, Rock Island, had an acct
dent with his big Cole "S" automo-
bile last night in Moline. He took
a taxicab to his home and returned
this morning to learn that the ma
chine was in the hands of the po-
lice.
It had been found at Fifth ave-
nue. and Thirteenth street at an
early hour this morning. Being a
car modelled after that employed by
the bandits who figured in the re-
cent holdup of the Commercial
bank, the sight Of the big machine
standing alone at the early hour
set the police to thinking of bandits
and the like. This thought was
further heightened by the fact that
the car was without license plates.
Alexenberg told what had hap
pened to him and the car was tui<.
ed over to him, but not without in
structions to procure licenses.

NEW DECLINES
ARE RECORDED
IN GRAIN LIST

Chicago. Aug. 31.-Fresh de-
clines in the value Of wheat took
place today chiefly ON account Of
hedging pressure from cash houses
here. Buying was only of a scat
tered sort, with but little demand
from the seaboard. Opening prices,
which ranged from Nc to 1c lower,
December $3.50, and March $2.2S,
were followed by moderate rally
and then by a downturn much I'M
der initial figures.
Subsequently, gossip that there
has been fair amount OF export
business overnight and that Italy,
France, Belgium and Greece were
buying brought about . sharp ad-
vance. The close was unsettled,
&c to INC net higher with Decem-
Der 1.34A to 2.S4h and March
2.30A.
Corn descended with wheat. De-
ferred futures touched the lowest
level yet this season. After open
ing unchanged to Ike lower, in
Guiding December at $1.17x to
$1.17N. the market reacted . little
and then dropped lower than at
first.
Frost predictions led to a reac-
ton later. Prices closed nervous,
sc to nc net higher, with Decem-
Der $1.18% to $1.1Sh.
Support was lacking in oats as In
other grain, prices starting hc to
sc down, December 663sc to 661sc.
and continuing to show weakness.
Provisions sympathizing with
cereal declines. Higher quotations
on hogs failed as counterbalance.
