request of Charles Wenks of Anda-
lusia, foreman.
Began in September.
The grand jury first assembled
on Sept. L. Routine work in con-
nection with criminal matters
brought to the attention of the
states attorney were considered
the first week and indictments re-
turned in a partial report The jur-
ors then turned their attention to
a consideration of the Gabel muir
der, a crime which had apparently
been ignored entirely by the police
and other authorities. No one had
ever been questioned about Gabels
death. No effort had been made to
produce evidence of the guilt Of
any person or persons. In spec
ial session of the board of super
visors a reward of $1,000 for the
apprehension and conviction of the
murderers was offered.
The grand jury made little or no
progress in the Gabel murder. Fin
ally, after nearly three weeks of
daily sessions, the jury recessed at
the request of States Attorney
Ben S. Bell, who indicated that he
wished to invite the aid of Attorney
General Edward J. Brundage in
securing evidence for a witness
who claimed to be able to shed
light of the mystery.
But while the states attorney
was in Chicago comforting with
the attorney general, the Oct. 6
street battle in Market Square oc-
Cured, and John Looney, Jr., be-
came a second victim of the feud
between warning factions of Rock
Islands underwOrld.<
The grand jury reconvened. AS
sistant Attorney General Roden-
burg was sent here by the attor-
ney general to receive the evidence
of the witness in question and pre-
sent it to the jurors. He declared
that the purpose of his coming had
been misunderstood. that he was
not here to conduct the prosecu-
ton. He said the attorney general
had not the funds to become active
in cleaning up Rock Island.
Money Is Pledged.
A group of influential Rock Is
land citizens formed a close Or
ganization and pledged $35, 900 for
the use of the attorney general in
CARRYING on an investigation and
prosecution to bring the guilty to
justice. Attorney General Brun-
dage. Thomas Marshall, a Chicago
attorney, and H. S. Mosher, a de-
tective, came here to scan the
situation. They were received by
the grand jury and confronted with
all evidence that body had been
able to get by interviewing wit
nesses.
When the attorney general and
his party left Rock Island, the
grand jury declared an indefinite
recess, which will terminate next
Tuesday. In the meantime MIR.
Mosher and staff of investigators
have taken the testimony of hun
dreds. Only a few details remain
to be checked up between now and
Tuesday, it is said.

forcement law without destroying
the fundamental purpose Of the
prohibition amendment.
There is every. reason to believe
Mr.. Harding's representations
have not gone any farther than
that. Significance nevertheless can
be attached to the fact that Mr..
Harding did write some letters on
the subject to party associates,
that he does believe the issue is SO
acute that. it will not be abandoned
and that there has been a shifting
Of views among some voters on the
subject.
Even the most ardent champions
of prohibition will concede that
there has been shifting OF
views" but they will argue that it
Is incidental to the discussion of SO
widespread reform and that in
many places the reaction against
prohibition was inevitable because
of the miserable attempts at law
enforcement made by those not in
sympathy with the Eighteenth
amendment. The growth of the
''bootlegger'' has, of course, helped
to stir up resentment for there are
people in the country who think
conditions are much worse today
than they were in the old wet
days.
Live Issue in East.
The prohibitionists can marsha
arguments showing that the moral
ity of America is better and that
the damage which prohibition used
to do has been materially reduced
and some concrete benefits given
to the American household, hui
that doesn't destroy the fact that in
populous states like Massachus-
etts, New Jersey and New York
prohibition was live issue this
year and that prominent Republi-
cans took the wet end of the argu-
ment.
Mr.. Harding is merely referring
in his letters to the movement for
modification Of the Volstead law
and he predicts it will come up for
serious consideration. He doesn't
prophesy it will be successful. No
body can tell what any congress
will do after the Anti-Saloon
league begins its man to man can
vass and holds senators and repre-
sentatives to strict accountable
ity for their acts.
I Stands on Record.
All that can be said right now is
that the reaction against prohibi-
ton in the last elections has af-
fected political Washington and
Mr.. Harding tells the truth when
he writes that it is a subject not
going to be ignored here even
though he is unwilling to hazard
an opinion as to the outcome. OF
one thing the public can be GER.
tain, the president will not engage
in the fight but will maintain strict
neutrality waiting for congress te
express itself. Whatever the SEN
ate and house do especially under
Republican control will influence
Mr.. Harding's course. AS to his
own views, he still stands on his
record, namely enforcement of the
existing constitutional amendment
and enforcement of the laws now
