ed him. Camouflaged as a party of
hunters, but armed with the highly
destructive police riot guns from
the Rock Island department instead
OF shotguns. the raiding squad of
eight made the 20 mile river trip
10 Cordova in the big government
gasoline launch which is operated
from Davenport under orders Of the
engineering department.
II was cooperation by Chief Will
liam H. Fitzsimmons of the police
department which enabled the par
ty to take along the riot guns,
which would have been most useful
had a fight come out of the raid.
Officials of the engineering depart
ment here also conferred favor
in the loan of the launch Z. s.
Quincy and a crew of two men. to
handle her.
Several delays prevented the
boat from reaching her destination
as early as had been expected. One
OF these was dense fog on the
river which did not lif. until near
ly 10 O'Clock yesterday morning.
Then at the government lock. at
Moline the morning traffic of dredg-
ing equipment and tug boats held
up the Quincy another half hour.
Steamboat island was finally
reached at 2 O'Clock. however, and
the party went ashore and ran

end. without finding anything
worthy of the search.
On Wrong Island.
1t was finally learned that the
tip Prendergast had received had
to do not with Steamboat island
proper, but with a smaller one ad-
joining and on the river side of
Steamboat island. A landing was
made there and large party of
hunters, one of whom was Boston,
proprietor of the camp, was found.
They made no resistance to the
invaders and invited search of their
camp and of the island. Their
booze was confiscated and Boston
was ordered to appear at the states
attorneys office.
1t was the trip through Boston s
island which proved the telling
blow to the raiding party. Under
brush so tangled that ferret
would have had to take on the at
tributes of flying squirrel to navi-
gate it at many points obstrutted
their way, tripping feet and pluck
ing at hats and other garments.
Prendergast. who is a. bulky man,
claimed afterwards that he never
described so many acrobatics in his
life and that forevermore hence
forth his garments must hang most
loosely on his frame shrunken by
the unwonted exercise. When the
raiders came back empty handed

they were glad enough to cork up
the small amount Of evidence and
to crawl into the launch and start
for Princeton, Iowa, two miles
down stream.
End ut Princeton.
Halt was made at Princeton be-
cause the skipper claimed he could
not navigate the big 3S-foot launch
at night through the torturous
channel of the river at low water.
From Princeton the heavily armed
and altogether tough looking raid
ing SQUAD with its three jugs of for
hidden nectar made their way to
Davenport over the interurban car
line.
Boston's party had a business
like duck hunting layout, with copi-
GUS decoys, both wooden and live,
plenty of shOtguns of all gauges,
and fancy blind on the foot of the
island. Duck feathers all around
indicated that they had had at least
fair luck. Fishing, too, had been
good, as evidenced a. quantity of
game fish of all descriptions which
were kept in a large tub near the
tents. Six men were visible in the
party when found by the raiders.
and two Or three of them left in a
motor boat while the Prendergast
squad was exploring the island.

HOW TO OBTAIN
ELECTION FUND
City to Find Out Hew to Get Money
for Election On Question Of
Government Change.

City officials are awaiting an
opinion from Attorney General E. ].
Brundage, relative to funds. before
calling the election to determine
whether the city Of Rock Island
shall return to the aldermanic form
OF government or continue to be
governed by the commission form.
City Attorney John K. Scott has
asked States Attorney Ben s. Bell
to confer with the attorney general
In regards to how funds can be OBJ
tanned to defrayselection expenses.
An aswer is expected within a few
days and until this is received the
election date will not be set.
The city commissioners, after the
discussion in the council meeting,
did not know which way to turn to
obtain funds for the election. as no
appropriation for election expenses
had been designated in the .city's
budget. When the budget was made
up no election for 1922 was con-
templated.
1t was thought at first that the
necessary amount for the election,
which would be about $2,5O0, could
be raised by an emergency fund
ordinance. After investigation by
City Attorney Scott it was found
that this could not be done.
No Objection Filed.
According to the law the city Off
Gals must call an election within
60 days after the petitions asking
for the change of government are
filed with the city clerk. The petit
tons, containing the signatures of
1858 voters. were filed with City
Clerk Martin Rudgren Nov. 20. The
election will have to be called be-
fore Jan. 20.
No objections were made to the
signatures Of the petitions while
they have been in the hands Of the
city clerk, and all that stands in
the way of setting a date now is
the question of how the funds will
be raised.

RIVER CAMP;
LAND CREDITOR


Amid the tangled underbrush q
= island adjoining Steamboat is
land, above Cordoya on the Missis-
eippi. Federal Prohibition Agent
Joe Prendergast and an armed
squad yesterday located one Of
John Looney's former Davenport
abilities and incidentally one
more Of the creditors of Looney, in
the person Of George Boston. A
mali quantity OF whisky and wine
found in the tents was confiscated
and Boston agreed to appear before
States Attorney Ben S. Bell today
n the court house.
Boston is held nominally for hav-
ing the liquor at his camp and be-
ing suspected of manufacturing and
selling liquor. No still, nor any
great quantity Of liquor, was found.
however.
Though Prendergast would make
no statement on this angle OF the
affair, it is believed that the search
Of the island was only nominally
TO find still, and that Looney
henchmen were the real object of
the hunt 1t was even thought by
some in the raiding party that
Looney himself might be found.
Whether Boston can disclose any
new facts in the present investiga-
ton of the vice gang with which
he admits he was allied remained
for the state investigators and
states attorney to learn.
Boston talked freely Of Looney
in the presence Of several Of the
party. including newspaper Tep-
resentative, in the big tent which
was the main living apartment at
the camp. s
"He owes me several hundred
dollars for work ! did for him and
some investments had him make.
