seems fairly certain, and that is that
ffhtes actual killing to be able to testify
an an Impressive fashion before a jury.
AS matters stand every taXicab chauf-
feur has a pet clew and an especial
scene connected with the murder to
which he can take curious passengers,
of whom there are vast quantities. If
the interest keeps up another month
there may be guides to the murder
here as there are guides to the battle
field at Gettysburg.
Scores Of "leads" have been devel-
oped, but somehow they have always
led far from the Hall murder. The
one tangible development about which
there can be no question is the publ
and Mrs. Mills exchanged
g. Some Of the investigators believe
that the person who threw Mrs. Mills's
may have intercepted only one Of the
letters, the last one, and then made a
search which resulted in the findinx
of the others. There is little doubt
in the minds of the investigators that
Mrs. Mills telephoned DR.. Hall that
Thursday night to tell him that she
lad left note for him in their secret
letter box at the church and that some
one else had got it. That is believed
to have prompted him to exclaim in a
low voice: "That's bad!"
The authorities believe Ythat when
they find the person who intercepted
that note, the one in which Mrs. Mills
expressed longing for the time when
she could do the rector's mending and
sooth his tired body. they will have
linked the murderer to the crime.
Addison Clarke, the husband of the
"Minna" referred to in Mrs. Mills's
notes. took it upon himself to-day to
deny that his wife had carried any
thing away from the church on the
aafternoo Don of the day the bodies were
the letter his wife sent yesterday to
the editor Of the local newspaper IN
which she said she had gone to- the
church to get DR.. Halls vestmenfs in
the company of Edwin Carpenter to
take them to Hubbard's undertaking
establishment.
Illness Her Excuse
Mrs. Clarke has remained in seclu-
tonsifftis was given by her husband
to- day as the reason for her continued
refusal to see newspaper reporters.
"She has answered all she thought
necessary" said Mr.. Clarke. at is
ridiculous to suggest that Mrs. Mills
in her regard for the rector had any
cause to be jealous of my wife. They
say that my wife took package from
the church on the day the bodies were
found, but my wife denies that. She
went to the church but took nothing
away"
In her letter to the local newspaper
yesterday Mrs. Clarke said: GAS for
my going to the church on Saturday
afternoon with relative Of Mrs. Hall
and taking out package, this is true.
The package contained the Rev. Mr..
Halls burial vestments, and was taken
to Undertaken Hubbard's Office, and
not to Mrs. Halls"
On the afternoon Of September ID
Mrs. Clarke went to the Hall residence.
Explaining this yesterday, her husband

Iouching on the airplane and sub
marine in future wars, Admiral Sims
declared that the country which has
the preponderance of this type of fight
ing craft will control the situation
Whenever they appear in sufficient
numbers to overwhelm the aircraft and
submarines of the enemy.
I'VE must either improve our ma
.rine and naval service or scrap the
whole outfit" the Admiral said
Efforts on the part of the naval Of
fcials for the last thirty five or forty
years to build up an efficient navy
have failed because public opinion has
not supported them.
This next Congress will have before
it bill to remedy some of these
things, but unless public opinion is
crystallized to support an efficient navy
and marine we will never have it.
we must also have an efficient mer-
chant marine to support Our navy, be-
cause, they are inter dependent"
Admiral Sims took occasion to com.
ment on the sketch of Newton D. Baker
Ct Cleveland, former Secretary of War
in e Encyclopedia Britannica.
Baker should worry about what
they say in this SKETCH" Sims said
"All statesmen are called politicians

CLEVELAND, Oct. 10 (By The Asso-
ciated Press).--The United States navy
was not prepared for war in 1917. is
no better prepared to-day than it was
then and never will be prepared under
the present organization plan, Rear
Admiral William S. Sims, recently re-
tired from the United States navy, de-
clared here in an address to-day be-
fore the City Club.
The Navy Department at Washington
bungled and mismanaged the fleet dur
ing the war and since the war there
has been no clear indication of a dis
position to put the navy into fighting
trim, Admiral Sims asserted.
"The navy has not been properly
hardlcd," Admiral Sims said, "because
of mistakes made at Washington. You
know nothing of these except what
those in control at Washington wanted
you to know. When came book from
the war / could have sat tight and
let things take their course or I could
expose the mistakes in the hope that
they would not be made again

He boxed her in the face. She pulled
his hair and scratched his face. He
stabbed her with his knife and she
cried and told him she would tell his

shot her in the face. She screamed
loud and long. Then he shot her more,
two or three times.
"Then he saw me. He looked awful

Albert Hepler has returned home
to Streator, ILL.,, after a short visit
at the home of his sister, Mrs
kaZiah Hanes, who has been critic
ally i'll for the past week. Mrs.
Hanes' many friends will be glad
to learn that she is gaining in
health, though slowly.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jesse Wilson of Ok

10 pound boy. He. was welcomed
by two little brothers. Mrs. Wilson
will be remembered here as Miss

Mrs. Mary Kale was called to
Watertown Monday to see her half

quite i'll. Mrs. Scott is past so and
little hope is held out for her re-
covery.

by the Hennepin canal which have
devastated the community for
years, through the construction OF
levees along the banks of Mill creek
and South slough. at an estimated
expenditure by the federal govern
ment of $4,000, is recommended in
a report to Major General Lansing

in charge of the Rock Island dis
trict-
A copy of the report is being for
warded today to P. w. Wadsworth,
chairman of the village board of
Milan by Representative William J.
Graham of the Fourteenth district.
who recently brought General
Beach, to Rock Island to make a
personal survey of the Milan food
district
The Burgess report consists of
five pages of closely typed matter,
giving a detailed survey of the sit
uation and making specific recon-
mendations and estimates. The
principal recommendations in the
report are the following:
Construction of levee on west
The Rock Island Argus and daily union. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1920-1923, 1922-02-09

would cooperate in the levee work
to the extent which is provided for
by the act, that is, to contribute
two-thirds of the cost of the main
levee along the bank of the Missis-
sippi river, thus leaving to be pro-
vided for by the. levee district and
the town of Milan one-third of the
cost of the main levee and all
other items of work mentioned in
the preceding paragraph"
The "other items" referred to by
Colonel Burgess are included in the
following paragraph OF the report:
1.-The complete project would In
clude 1evee along the bank of the
Mississippi river from near Anda-
lusia up to the entrance to the ILL
nois and Mississippi canal. with a
cross levee to close the drain at
the lower end; new channel for

bridge near First street in Milan to
the Mississippi with a levee along
The Rock Island Argus and daily union. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1920-1923, 1922-02-09

bank of Mill creek from rail-
Road bridge to the old mouth
of the creek, at cost OF 3d.
O0e.
Construction of levee along
south bank of South slough
from the old mouth of Mill
creek to the railroad embank-
ment near First street, at cost
of $4,000.
Levee along south bank of
South slough from railroad en-
bankment 10 the mouth of
Jimmy creek, including a drain
age ditch alongside, at cost of
$4,000.
Colonel Burgess proposes that the
above steps shall be taken for the
protection of Milan from the over
flow of Mill creek, due to the Hen
nepin canal. 1t is proposed that
the cost OF this entire Improvement
shall be paid by the government,
out of money appropriated in the
annual rivers and harbors appro-
priation bill. The town of Milan,
it is recommended, should maintain
the levees.
1t is also recommended that steps
be taken to protect the farm lands
west of Milan from overflow of the
Mississippi. An investigation was
undertaken of this situation by the
Mississippi river commission at the
request OF C. ] Searle.
= District Not Organized.
These owners have not as yet
organized a levee district under the
laws of the state of Illinois," Colo
mel Burgess reports, "and the Mis-
sissippi river commission would not
consider an application of funds
appropriated under the flood con-
troll act prior to the organization of
the district and the adoption by it
of definite plan. However. it may
be assumed that the commission
