Moline and East Moline
CARTWRIGHT NAY
FACE GRAND JURY:
CASE CONTINUED

The severity of the weather to-
day is probably responsible fo-
spelling the weekend ride be-
tween Rock Island and Moline for
w. H. Cartwright, who is being
held under suspicion OF being .
member of the gang which last
June shot up and robbed the Com
mercial Savings bank.
At present it seems probable that
the case will go directly to the
grand jury. That body will be call
ed together very soon, and 1t is
not likely that Cartwright will
make his regular journeys from the
county Jail many more times.
Roy Whiteside, acting attorney
for the alleged bandit. asked for
today's continuance. No objection
was forthcoming from the prosecu-
ton and the matter was set for
April Is by Magistrate Gustafson.
1t is not probable that Cartwright
will be released. even in the event
the grand jury finds there 10 insult
ficient evidence to hold him for
the Moline hank robbery, for it is
said he is wanted by the police Of
a number of other cities.
Feb. rs Cartwright was arrest
ed in Chicago, when it was found
he had several thousand dollars
worth Of travellers checks which
had been taken from the Moline
bank in his possession. He arriv-
ed in Moline two weeks later.
Cartwright has admitted he had
the travellers checks, but has chung
to his denial of taking any part in
the robbery Of the Commercial
bank.

dencs game.

warned by Chief DeJaeger that OBJ
tanning money through a short

not merely q clever trick. The

GRAIN FUTURES
SCORE AERIAL
FLIGHT ON MART

Chicago, April 1e.-Passage Of the
emergency tariff bill by the national
house OF representatives sent all
grain futures skyrocketing at the
opening of the Chicago board of
trade today. Most strength was
shown in the July options, with
wheat 2hc, corn full cent and oats
Nc higher.
In the wheat pit May opened II.
to 2Ac higher at LA to LES. July
was 2 to 2hc higher at 1.OS to
1.OSA. The peak for May wheat
brought out plenty OF selling or
ders. however, and the top prices
were not maintained.
A London report quoting a spec
ial government report on India to
the effect that the drouth would
wipe out exports this season served
to steady the market at around
1.2411 for May.
The market continued strong on
forecasts Of freezing temperature
in the wheat belt and Official re-
ports showing depleted crop pros
poets in France and Argentina. A
sharp rally at the close sent prices
to the high point of the day with
May practically cents higher at
1.25 to 123A.
Corn. oats and provisions were all
strong at the start July corn
opened at 60A to 607sc but quickly
dropped back to 605sc where the
market steadied. May started &c
higher at $3.50 to 56zc and Sep
TENDER &c higher at 631sc to 63A c.
Germ and oats followed wheat ;
July corn showing a net gain OF
INC and closing at 613sc to 61hc
May corn ended at 575sc to 57%c
and September at 64k to 64kc.
July oats closed Nc to &c higher
at 3S3sc to 3Shc.
Provisions showed firmness,
Oats showed less tendency to
jump and that grain was proper
tionately steadier. July opened Nc
to nc higher at 37h@37Ac, then
advanced to the NC mark.
General trade conditions helped
provisions. In the July options
pork started Csc higher at 15.55.and
lard and ribs each 15c higher with
1882 for the former and 9.32 for
the latter.

The birthplace of Mr.. Tolles was
+ claremont, N. H. He was the son
OF Edwin W. Tolles and Harriet E.
Mason. a sister OF c. o. Mason, a
pjoneer resident Of this city. He
was born on st. Valentines day,
Feb IA, 1860. He was educated at
Poughkeepsie, N. Y, and he came
10 Moline in 1881, to enter on his
business career. He was first con-
nected with Deere & Co. for a short
time, later was a clerk in the old
3 First National bank TO ra few years,
and then became associated with
S. S. and T. B. Davis in Davis G. Co.,

Active and aggressive in the bust

he was leader in building
his own business from mod

appealed. He was always in init
mate touch with the activities of
the community and its people. The
scope of his observation and inter-
est was remarkable. He found ed
ucation and enjoyment in the little
4 things Of our everyday life that to
many would be trivial and insight
ficant. He found recreation and de-
light in driving about town or
country, for to him there was never
ending source of interest in the
great outdoors, and the seasonal
manifestations Of nature or the
progress from day to day of one
phase or another of the develop
ment of growing community. He
was one Of the first to appreciate
the beauties Of Campbell's island
and was among the early colony to

WEEKLY GRAIN AND.
PROVISION REVIEW

Chicago, April 15.-LiQuidation
on a big scale by holders Of grain
and provisions has gone hand in
hand this week with disturbing
economic advices, especially from
Great Britain. Compared with
week ago, wheat this morning
showed a setback ranging from
5kc to 11Ac a bushel Corn was
down 3hc@3Hc to SIC, oats IN
@13sc to 1Sc, and provisions zoe
to 75c.
Heavy receipts of wheat at pri-
mary points. indicating an enlarged
movement from first hands, gave
special impetus to the downward
swing Of prices in connection with
the British labor crisis. 1t was said
also that exporters were trying to
resell, and that Canadian wheat
was being rushed into the United
States to iorestall the proposed
emergency tariff. Meanwhile such
bullish factors as a serious drouth
in Roumania, Hungary and the
Balkans, were almost completely
ignored.
Misgivings which were expressed
that freezing temperatures had in
jured the domestic crop failed like
wise to attract much notice. 1t was
only after values had failed to the
lowest levels since 1913 that liqui-
dation gave evidence OF having
largely spent its force. Later the
market was rallied somewhat by
word that railway men and trans
portation workers In Great Britain
would remain at their posts.
Corn and oats showed rather
stubborn resistance to selling pres
ure, but finally receded with wheat.
Lower quotations on hogs and
grain had a depressing effect on
provisions.
