BISHOP SAYS
HEDDINC WILL
NOT BEG SITES
Church Head Speaks ut
Moline Chamber of Commerce;
Burgess for Cooperation.

THE Methodist church is not
looking for place In which to bury
a dead institution" Bishop Thomas
Nicholson, Chicago, said today
when he referred to the prospective
removal of Hedding college from
Abingdon, in an address at the Mo
line Chamber of Commerce.
He said that Hedding college is
not begging for sites from any
community, and affirmed that more
than one Illinois city would extend
a welcome to the institution
In bidding for the location of the
college in Moline, the people of that
community, said the bishop, were
not engaged in an enormous COM
mercial venture, but in a moral
and spiritual undertaking.
Moline had been selected for the
location of the college, he said,
largely because no other college &C.
cupied that field Augustana he
on the ground that it was
an institution with a distinct mis-
sion and appealing to distinct
constituency.
Bishop Nicholson seid that four
courses were open to Hedding. 1t
could leave Abingdon; it could re-
tain its location there; a merger
with Illinois Wesleyan at Bloom
ington could be effected; or it
could close its doors permanently.
Urges Cooperation.
DR.. John T. Jones, superintend-
ent of the Rock Island district of
the Methodist church, spoke, and J.
Burgess, president of the Rock
Island Chamber of Commerce, said
that Moline and Rock Island should
work together in the movement to
provide Hedding college with a
site and raise the funds for its con-
tinuance, and cooperate in the
to secure Rock Island
location for the children's
home to be erected bv the Broth
erhood of American Woman.

MRS. SELLARS
DIES IN ROOM
IN BLACKHAWk
Cedar Rapids Woman Victim Of Ep-
ilepsy, Dead Hours Before
Body Is Found.

Mrs. Carl Sellars, aged 80 years.
died early yesterday morning in
the bathroom in her room in the
Hotel Blackhawk, following an at
tack of epilepsy, and the body was
not found until last night.
Her head was wrapped in a bath
towel, but Coroner Cantwell says
she evidently grasped the towel
during the attack. Theory that
she had committed suicide was ad-
vanced when only "a cents was
found in her purse and the hotel
register indicated that she was
there under the name of Bernice
Thompson, giving her residence as
Chicago. No explanation of her
reason for using a fictitious name
and address was given.
Mrs. Sellars entered the hotel
about 1920 Tuesday night and
went directly to her room. 1t is
believed she was overcome by cpl
lepsy about / O'Clock in the morn
ing. She had been dead IS hours
when the body was found.
A brother, student in the chiro-
practic school, is in Davenport and
she is believed to have intended to
visit him before returning to her
home in Cedar Rapids. She had
spent two months with a sister in
Chicago.

B SYRIAN MERCHANTS
ASK LICENSE CHANGE

Only fifteen minutes were reouir
ed for the city council last night to
dispose of all the business before it.
A petition, which was referred to the
ordinance committee, was presented
by three Forsyth street Syrian mer-
chants asking reduction in license
from the new rate fixed at the begin
nlng OF the year. Under the ordi-
nance 'as now in effect each will have
to pay dry goods and grocers' licens-
es, totalling Sl67 each They ask a
combination license for their business
and state their willingness to accede
to SCALE that will cause them to pay
$123 each.
The discovery having been made
that the special license ordinance
contains no provision to tax auto ac-
cessory. businesses except when in
connection vita other lines; an
amendment % the ordinance was
lpassed providing a tax of $50 on the
sale of auto accessories.
Alderman Mashburn proposed an
expenditure estimated by City Engi-
neer Of $50 for the repair of the

STUDIES
ROADBOND PLAN

Continued From Page One.)
state highway board and the state
highway department, as highway engi-
neers, to economically recommend
the expenditure OF these funds, and
it is the intention to sell $7,500,000
each year for ten years to match with
federal aid for a ten-year road pro-
gram. The highway department has
estimated that to build an adequate
road to carry the traffic the year
around, with economical mainte-
nance, it will take $75,000,000. In
building an adequate system it is also
considered that permanent bridges
will be built throughout and heavier
types of pavement laid on the heavier
trafficked roads.
Further, in connection with your
county's interest in this bond issue,
it is figured that slightly over $8,000,-
600 has been expended by the coun-
ties in the state system Of roads. APP
proximately 100000 of this 49,
100000 has been expended by Sum
ter county, and in my opinion there
will be between 100000, and $780,
.0O0 expended by Sumter county by
the time the refunds are made which
are already provided by law specify
ing that the state is to refund the
counties for road construction ear
ried on by the counties under the
supervision of the state highway de
partment.
In conclusion, my opinion is that
the bond issue will provide through
paved roads IN Georgia north and
south and east and west within five
years time, and that the state sys-
TEN can be completed in ten years.
Further, it will put to work immedi-
ately large amount Of unemployed
labor and circulate money at a time
when a depression is at hand, without
creating one cent Of additional tax
on property in Georgia and without
at all the present tax that
is being paid for automobile tags and
gasoline. Also | believe that 70 per
