The United States marshal

fed of the communication
between the Rock Island po-
lice department and Sheriff
], C. Wynn Of Pennington,
N. NJ, relative to the where
abouts Of John Looney and
requested to ask the United
States marshal at Santa Fe,
N. NJ, to investigate.
The telegram received yesterday
by Chief Of Police William Fitz-
simmons from Sheriff Wynn, in
quiring II Looney was wanted, was
turned over to William A. Schroeder.
assistant United States distr ct at
torney. He immedia ELY ,commun-
lcated with the marshaPs office at
epringfeld, believing that the in
formation from Pennington is
worth putting federal officers on
ne trail. Mr.. Schroeder said this
morning that the United States
MARSHAL at Santa Fe will be in
gtructed to get in touch with Sher-
q Wynn and learn what informa-
Ton that official has about Looney.
d As soon as Chief F'itzsimmons re-
ceived the telegram from Farm
inga0n he wired his reply, stating
that Looney was wanted on state
and federal warrants. Late yester-
days2fteTncon SaeE,ff Wynn re-
piled. His second Telegram to
Rock Island follows:
"Will be very difficult matter to
get Looney. We want positive as
surance of reward. He is we'll

nrss telegram Of inquiry from
sheriff Wynn asked il reward
turc.
Pennington, N NJ. is between Is
and 100 miles west of Monera, N.
HM., where Looney receives his mail
addressed to Horse Lake ranch, his
property. Horse Lake ranch is ap-
proximately 40 miles south OF the
border line of Colorado and in the
eastern part Of New Mexico. The
lact that Chief Fitzsimmons re-
eelved a reply to his telegram,
which was addressed to Sheriff
wynn at Pennington tends to dis
sOurage the theory that the sher-
MS name might have been used by
some one else.
District Attorney Schroeder be-
aeves that the reliability OF the in
aiofmation from Pennington can
Oest be determined by speedy in
!estigation by federal officers. If
seerid Wynn can cast any light on
Looney's hiding place, Mr.. Schro-
aT is confident the United States
MARSHAL at Santa Fe can receive it
snd act accordingly without consid-
sring a reward. He has also re-
enested the Springfield office to in

Political Spotlight Is on

finds Woodrow Wilson again ON the
edge Of the political spotlight. ),
Whether that spotlight again will
swing to put the former president
in the center Of its radiance is to
many the most engaging question
before America today.
There seems little doubt that
Wilson today is physically better
than at any time since his collapse
in 1919.
Though his left side still is part
ly paralyzed. Wilson now is able to
stand without his cane and he even
walks a few steps in his garden
without its aid. His color is better.
He has taken ON weight.
Abreast of Affairs.
+. And there are evidences that his
stronger physical condition is per-
mitting a more active following OF
national affairs.
Wilson has been writing letters
on public questions-notably on the
late elections. Also his Armistice
day speech to admirers gathered at
his home revealed he does not yet
concede defeat in the cause in
which he sacrificed his health, and
indicated his expectation that
American participation in world af-
fairs would become the dominating
issue in 1924.
Wilson unquestionably is the
leader Of the Democratic party to-
day. His hold on the minds and
hearts of the rank and file of his
party has.been strengthened by his
illness and by the difficulties in
which the world has found itself
the last two years.

It seems certain Wilson will lay
down the lines on which the Demo-
cratic party will attempt its come
back IN 1894 and that his influence
on choice OF candidates will be
most powerful.

On His Way to Moline on
Business When Over
taken by Death.

years, prominent Hillsdale
farmer, was killed, and his
brother, Martin Siebrandt,
and Nephew, Henry Schultz,
were seriously injured 4 at
$3.50 this morning when their
automobile upset on the
Hillsdale road, nine miles
east Of Watertown.
Mr.. Siebrandt died fifteen or
twenty minutes after the accident
occurred and beforeo physician
reached the spot. Martin Stebrandt
is in a critical condition because Ut
shock Whether or not he is iu-
ternally injured has not been dens
niRly determined. MIR. Schult1e is
in q dazed condition, but It is not
believed that he Is as seriously
hurt as Martin Siebrandt. His left
collar bone was fractured.
Coroner John F, Maberry con-
Quoted an inquest at the farm home
of Ambrose Searl, near the site Of
the tragedy, and the jury returned u
verdict that death was due to shock
caused by internal injuries.
John Siebrandt was 1t the wheel
Of the Ford touring car, which. &C
cordiny to Schultxe, was travelling
at a slow rate of speed. They were
.dftvingto Moline to look after soElc
business relative to the closing of
the estate Of Mrs. Emma Beller.
sister to the Siebrandts, who died
only last week.
y Happens Quickly.
Schultze says that the accident
happened SO quickly that he did not
know what occurred. 1t appears
that the front wheels locked AMI
turned the. car completely over. The
steering wheel was broken. and it is
believed that John Siebrandt re-
ceived the fatal injuries when he
was thrown against the wheel as
the machine upset. The automo-
bile was badly damaged.
s. r. Grinde, 936 Forty-afth
street, Rock island, was the first to
reach the scene Of the accident. He
said that Schultze was bent over
the limp form trying to rouse the
man, and that Martin Siebrandt was
attempting to raise himself to his
feet from a position near the rear Of
the car. !.
John Siebrandt was carried into
the home of Ambrose Searl about
200 yards away, and he breathed his
laso as his clothes we're being re-
moved from his body. Martin SIZE
brandt and Schultze were assisted
into the hpuse, where their injuries
were cared for by DR.. ]. M. Bruner
OF Port Byron.
Shock Causes Death.
There were no exterior marks on
the body. DIR. Bruner said. and he
gave his opinion that death was
caused by shock of internal injuI-
les.
Schultze said that he and Martin
Siebrandt we're in the back seat OF
the machine talking. He told the
jury that he did not realize what
happened until he found himself
on the ground.
John F. Siebrandt was born in
Hampton township on Jan. q. 1861.
He had resided on farm in the up
per end OF Rock Island all his life.
BY thrift and hard work he and his
brothers had acquired land hold
ings of considerable proportions in

had risen to place high in the es-
timation OF the community.
