came q time when he tired Of the
constant drain that was being made
upon his income by the grafters
who were pretending to furnish
him protection against arrest. Pro-
hibftion agents began to invade the
city without advance knowledge Of
the protection ring. Previously the
ring had been so strong and we'll
organized that it could use a pro-
hibition agent to close in on q boot
logging bar whose proprietor would
refuse to pay protection or purchase
the hooch supplies retailed by that
combination. But a time came when
the ring lost its connection with the
prohibition agents. The protection
ring planned on a harvest during
the national grotto convention in
the latter part of june
Special Convention Levy.
A special levy had been collected
among the saloons and disorderly
resorts on the promise that the city
was to be wide open during the con-
vention. Here again the ring fell
short Of its calculations. The local
committee On arrangements for the
grotto convention issued warnings
to delegates to remain away from
the bars and resorts of the city:
that the liquor that would be offered
for sale was poisonous and that the
local committee would not be re-
sponsible for any consequences that
might follow participation of visit
ors in the unlawful liberties that
might be afforded them during their
sojourn in the city. There were
rumors that prohibition forces
were preparing to swoop down upon
the city during the convention.
However, the prohibition raid did
not take place until the last night
of the convention, when q number
of bootleggers were arrested. But
the feeling Of insecurity proved q
severe blow to the local underworld
The convention was a fat failure SC
far as the underworld was con-
cerned.

And to strengthen his story he gave
affidavits> supporting the facts that
he told concerning the operations Of
the local protection ring. In the
meantime The Argus continued
printing nightly the results Of It'll
| Investigations, in the course OF
which it charged the very things
that were contained in the affidav-
its signed by Bill Gabel. Gabel wal
killed at midnight jug 81 in front
of his saloon, being shot down BY

Iznd The night II the 0abslsmur-
der Policeman Edward Miner, who
had been temporarily assigned to
the beat ON which the Cabel resort
was heated, was called into the
station and remained there through
the whole night. 4 Miner Wns picked
up ut the Burlington station on
Twentieth street at 7:30 h the eve
ming BY Chief Cox and Detective

given to him other than that he was
wanted to be on duty ct the station

Charles Miner, was assigned rs

Gosse.
Called. Outside JsA.
The Argus refused to accept the
theory Of Chief OF Police Cox that
the murder of Gabel was an "out-
side job" Cox was asked for an
explanation of certain suspicious &C.
currences the night of the Gebel
killing, and he did not hesitate to
confess that he felt embarr2ssed.at
the damaging condolences, but that
he did not have sufficient grounds
on which to base the arrest Of sew
eral characters who had been i'm
mediately associated in the public
mind as at least having knowledge
Of the plot to dispose Of Gabel in
order to prevent his personal ap-
pearance as a supporter before the
federal grand jury of the affidavits
that he had, given to Prohibition
Agent Gosse. The Argus charged
that Gabei was murdered. in accord
ance with the decree Of the Rock
Island underworld government. The
Argus charged the Rock Island po-
lice department with an unconceai-
ed attempt to protect those who
we're suspected in connection with
the Gabel murder. The Argus said
that John Looney was . visitor at
the Rock Island police station less
than an hour before GAbel was kill
ed, and because The Argus made
that statement Looney entered suit
! in the circuit court against this
newspaper for $4,000.
John Looney instantly stepped in
to the breach, employing his black
mailing newspaper in defending the
police department and the city ad-
ministration against the protests
and demands Of the public as voiced
through The Argus for some SEM
balance Of interest In solving
the Gabel murder. There was not
even an arrest Of suspect. despite
| that one hour after the murder the
police department could have had
locked up at least six men who were
believed to have had some connec-
ton with the crime. ,
The Argus realized that . critical
state Of affairs had ari3ep in Rock
Island. 1t had come to pass that
the lawless element. in le1gue with
the police authorities, would not
hesitate to take human life In ex-
acting obedience to its laws and its

the joyful mother could not under
stand why he had been the cause of
so much anxiety and searching.
