THE ARGUS,. SATURDAY, , OCTOBER 23. 1909 1 JO CHARGES HERE Poormaster Lidders States He Has Not Issued Order Since Last Spring. MOLINE HAS 35 FAMILIES Poor Claims Committee of County - . - Koard Conducting the Inves tigation. The poor" claims committee of the -Rock Island county board super visors Hofer, Ilanna, Wright, Minteer and Eastman were engaged all day '. Wednesday in its investigation of the poor relief In Moline. An automo bile from the Fred Young garage was engaged to carry the committee over the city and such progress was made r that the territory extending from '-Second street on the west to Fifty " second street on the east was fully covered in eight hours. , The overseer of the poor in Moline supplied a lint, showing 35 families receiving aid, with place of residence of each. Of these, 27 were approv ed by the committee, after careful . investigation, and they will continue to receive aid. Unuiual Situation In Thin City. The committee exnected to take ud The work in Rock Island yesterday, but an odd situation developed. Sup- ervisor Eastman teleDhoned to Poor- master Henry Lidders and asked him to make out his list. He said he had no list that he had not issued an order 'since last spring. The com mittee therefore deferred its visit to Rock Island until a later date. . - , HPAnQ MfWF PfJR QAMP ATH , . ' Campaign, With Taft President, to I .'- Knd Use of livplosives. Washington, Oct. 23. A national organization, headed by. President Taft and a committee composed of the governors of the different states, will, according to present plans, soon assume charge of the work of pro- I moting safe and sane celebrations of -Jndependence day, July 4. The marked success which has at- . tended the introductory efforts in a' few cities to prevent fatalities and j 'serious accidents on July 4. by re-' striding the use of dangerous ex plosives has given impetus to the movement. The example set by Chi :cago and Washington will, it is ex pected, soon be followed by most if not all cities. The planned campaign is directed toward stamping out the use by indi viduals of explosives and fireworks i and confining such displays under the direction of municipalities. It is generally admitted that the day and fireworks have been so linked that it will be impossible to entirely di vorce them. - Governor Hughes of New-York and several other governors have heartily joined the movement.

BOTH DUnNCfl at night by the local chapters of the D. A. R. v - SENATOR McCARREN, . UNIQUE POLITICAL FIGURE, IS DEAD (Continued from Pae On.) J that the shock would be too great for hor. When the surgeon's knife cut out the vermiform apitendlx of State Senator r.itrlck II. MeCurren. Democratic lead er of Brooklyn, it also halted the ca reer of an Interesting figure in con tempornneous American polities. For years the name of . Pat McCarrvn has been n power iu the affairs of Brook Jyn nud Greater New York, and his In fiueuce has'estended beyond the bound aries of liia own borough and city to the confines of New York state. Even In the Democratic councils of the ua tlon the name of MeCarren has borne weight as that of au astute, vigorous. farseeinjr. influential -boss." Whatever may be said in criticism of "Long Pnt MeCarren. no one can with truth bring the charge of cow nrdice against h!3 name. Xo other leader has had the courage to cham pion the cause of the trusts and sneer at measures Intended to- benefit the people. Whether it be a Coney Island five cent fare bill or an eighty cent gas bill. Senator MeCarren had no lies itation in coming out flatfooted In op- Position to it. Almost every crime in the calendar except murder. has been cnargeu against mm wuuout resent nient on his part. The only thing that apparently affected him seriously was reference to his personal appearance. His lanky appearance and lean, cadav erous countenance have long been standbys of the New York cartoonists MeCarren never denied being a legis- Intlve Snt of the Standard Oil com , nnny. At one time be was the heaviest bettor on the American turf. PoMKrHxed Xo Mug-net Imiu. McCari-en's personality, wlthont our- v;ard magnetism and apparently with f"w qualifications for popular leader ship, has not inspired the crowd with blind faith in him and devotion to his interests, but even those who have opposed him have had a sneaking nd- miration for him on account of his supreme nerve. Cold in manner, with n face that has been an Inscrutable mask, his iolitlcal career was . one long, continuous scrap, mainly witli the Democratic machine In Manhattan, whose -crossing the bridge" lias been consistently opposed by MeCarren. He has believed in rewarding the men who land the votes. He would rather put a saloon keeper in office than a college professor. Saloon keepers act: professors talk. So far as was within his power be helped his followers to fatten at the public crib. He never objected to men calling on him for fa vors. Anything within his power he did to aid them. But he did not help them through any goodness of heart Ho did it merely as ft matter of busi nesspolitical business. There are political leaders who pro fess a higher grade of morality who are not so honest to their supporters as MeCarren. Betcia nn a Cooper. 'Senator McCnwan was born in East Cambridge. Mass.; about sixty years ago. His parents removed to Brook lyn when he was very young, and he attended the Brooklyn public schools. In his ward are located the great sugar refineries. Like most joor boys, he was obliged to go to work at an early age and naturally sought em ployment in or around the refineries. He learned the trade of a -ioper. Later lie became an oil inspector, which business he followed for ten years. Meanwhile he married one of the most popular school teachers in his ward, and they say in Brooklyn that i was the greatest weddinrr ever seen In the neighborhood. Mrs. MeCarren is dead. In the early eighties MeCarren enter ed politics and was elected to the a- scmbly and was re-elected many times, as often as he wished, so his biogra phers say. He studied law and was tdmltted to the New York bar when e was past forty. EVERYTHING NEW BUT SIN. Hell Will Be Such a Bore, Says Rev. Mr. Crane of Chicago. "The worst thing about hell is that it will be such a bore." This was one of the statements made by the Iter, Dr. Frank Crane in a re cent lecture In Chicago, "There are new styles in everything (ait slu." he said. "Men- are getting drunk now on Clark street just as Noah did on Ararat. The Tenderloin district of Chicago is about the same as that which we see in the ruins of Pompeii. Harry Thaw killed his man very much as Hagen killed Siegfried. We have steam cars, telephones, patent washers, radiators and rubber wheels, but we sin just like the antedilu vians." The Withering Win 4- The name of bar mat tan has been given a periodical wind which blows from (Ire Interior of Africa toward the Atlantic during the three months of December. January and February. It sets in with a fog or dry haze, which sometimes conceals the sun for whole weeks together. Every plant, every bit of grass and leaf in its course Is withered as though it had been seared by heat from a furnace. Often within an bour niter it begins to blow green grass Is dry enough to burn like paper. Even the hardened natives lose all of the skin on exposed parts during the prevalence of this withering wind.

San Bernardino, Cal., Oct. 23. It is reported here that an unknown family lost in the desert of San Diego coun ty was traced to within a compara tively short distance of the west side of the main irrigation channel, but whether the people found the water or were guided further away through some of the ,arroyos in which that country abounds, is unknown. The family outfit was found five miles east of Carisco creek by T. II. Kellogg, a mining man. I ,ol Dying: HorneM. When the three horses refused to go further over the burning sands and one fell dying, the man had unhitched the two remaining horses from the wagon, and leading the staggering an imals and followed by his suffering family, set out across the rocky hills and parched plains. There was every evidence of ex treme suffering to those who followed the trail. Kellogg says the family stopped for ret many times and that their trail showed they must have been in sore straits.

In a recent conversation between the kaiser and Andrew Carnegie at Kiel Mr. Carnegie urged the kaiser to visit the United States, assuring him of an enthusiastic reception. The kaiser replied that such a visit would interest him greatly, but he could not be away so long, being needed in his own country. Mr. Carnegie thereiion related uu anecdote, prefacing it by saying that his majesty must not get angry. "Go ahead." said the kaiser, and Mr. Carnegie told of a big American manu facturer who was overworked and suf fering in health owing to the persist ence with which he overlooked every detail of his business himself.
