THE ROCK ISLAND ARGUS TUESDAY, JUNE 28, 1910. g LOCAL SOLDIERS TO BE SCHOOLED Regular Army Officer Assigned to Temporary Command of Company A. IN PREPARATION FOR CAMP Will Be Instructed in Various Points of Militia Duty Local Rifle Range Named. Captain Edward H. Dunavin of Com pany A has received information to the effect that a regular army officer will shortly visit the company and take charge of it for three days for the pur pose of Instructing it in such points as it may be in need. It is believed that this officer will be Lieutenant Colonei James Ronayne of Chicago, who is the Inspector general for all rifle ranges except Camp Logan at Chicago. The date for his coming has not been announced, but it seems assured that he will come before the Sixth regiment, of which Company A is a part, goes into its annual encamp ment. Captain Dunavin is trying to arrange with the commander of the Moline com pany to unite the two companies dur ing the time the inspector general is here in order that the two companies may have six days' training under the officer instead of three each. The com panies in this case will be called to gether for drill each night during the visit of Colonel Ronayne, and he will be in charge of the men. Name Rifle Rangre. Under orders from Adjutant General Frank S. Dickson, the local rifle range east of the Watch Tower has been giv en the name of Camp Pope, in honor of the civil war general. All the ranges in the state are to be known in the future as camps, and each camp is being named by the adjutant general. The range season has opened, and Ma jor John Reig has been placed in charge of the range, with Captain Dunavin as his first assistant From now on until the close of the season the men will be busy practicing shooting and setting their ratings for the year. Last year the company had one expert riflleman and three sharpshooters, and this year the captain hopes to increase this num ber. Captain Dunavin received a copy of general order number 15 today cover ing the competitive shooting of the year. The orders are practically the same as in previous years. The Sixth regiment shoot will be held July S at Gait. Deaertrr In Captured. Detective Phalen of the Chicago po lice force came to the city yesterday and the local force turned over to his custody William Bannon, who was ar rested here Friday night on informa tion from Chicago. It developed that Bannon is a deserter from the United States army. Captain Streckfus' Acme Packet Fleet .- . ,- 'r ',jiV. V.ilVV.. Vr-v,,;V -. . - . y-. ;. -g ( IV;- 4, ..V 4 VVv:vf .

At a meeting of the Acme Packet company, held yesterday afternoon, it was decided to immediately pro ceed with the building of a new ex cursion steamer to replace the J. S., destroyed in the fire of last Saturday night. "The new boat will be deliv ered next spring," Captain John Streckfus said. "It will be in every respect the equal if not the superior of the burned steamer. While we feel our loss of the handsome J. S. keenly, personally I have been more than compensated by the thought that I was aMe, with one or two ex ceptions, to land in safety all the souls entrusted to my keeping dur ing the time they were on the steam er. There have been various stories as to the starting of the fire, but the best we can do is theorize. What I positively do know is that all com bustibles, such as oils, etc., were stored in iron receptacles, and th?.--fore the flames could not have orig inated from that source. All elec.ilc wires were Insulated also, and tneve was a regular inspection of the wir ing throughout the boat in order to discover any breakage that miht be responsible for a fire. It is more than probable that flames originated in the ship's prison, where two -in-ruly men had been locked up ?iriy in the evening. I have since under stood both these men were 3aed. It is probable the fire started friii' a cigar stump. There have been re ports of many of the passenger hiv ing had their hands scorched by -flames. The truth of the matter is all of the passengers were landed before they saw the blaze. However, there are many with blistered hands, but these resulted in every case from sliding down the ropes on the side of the steamer. I'lane Still Mimting. La Crosse, Wis., June 2S. Unable to find trace of Jack Plane, Lansing, Iowa, said to have been burned to death while a prisoner in the hold of 1 lie excursion steamer J. S., which burned to the water's edge Saturday night near Victory, Wis., after 1,400 passengers were landed safely, Mayor Dunleavy of Lansing has asked offl cials of Houston county to investigate. Plane is alleged to have been impris oned for drunkenness, and, It Is claimed, was released when the fire was discovered. The body of Mrs. Emma Randall, New Albion, Iowa, was recovered yesterday.

For the grim and ice-packed coast lines topped by everlasting snow, When the rushing of the north wind, where the white-capped comber races. Drives the heaving, groaning timbers o'er the racing seas below? Have you ever felt the tropics calling, calling 'neath the moonlight? When nectar scented, drowsy sweet, the vagrant land breeze blows. And the stars seem flashing jewels in the sable dome above you As the rising sun at dawning tints the eastern sky w ith rose? From the northland, wherethe were wolf howls across the frozen silence, From the southland, where the jungle breathes beneath a molten sky, Comes the call of open places on the four strong winds of heaven, Comes the song of the free rovers as the reeling ships go by.

Rockford, 111., June 28. The Illinois State Suffrage association's little army descended upon Rockford yesterday, the first city attacked in the invasion of northern Illinois. The suffragists did not find entrenchments thrown up against them here, but they did find the workingmen in the factory dis tricts provokingly timid. Mrs. Catherine Waugh McCullough was quick to act. If the men could not be induced to surround the autos from which the yellow banners were flying and listen to good suffrage argu ments, then they should be made to hear it inside the factory. She went right up to the open windows to make her speech. A bench was passed out to her and she mounted it, and those inside heard her as well as those brave enough to come outside. The rallying songs by Miss Jennie F. W. Johnson helped a lot. and it was not long before the campaigners had interested auditors. Know Hor nn "Kitty." The party here consisted of Dr. Anna Blount, vice president of the Illinois Equal Suffrage association; Mrs. Cath erine Waugh McCullough. who is "Kit ty" to Rockford people, she having formerly resided here; Miss Helen Todd and Miss Johnson. They arrived at 11:19 o'clock over the Northwestern road and were met by a local commit tee. Autos donated by Rockford resi dents were decked lth yellow pen nants and the mottos "Votes for Women" and "No Vote, No Tax" and whirled the speakers away on a tour of part of the factory district. "This immediate campaign is not to get votes for women, but to ask for honest legislation," declared Dr. Anna Blount. "We ask you as voters to put men into office who will give us clean legislation and not the corruption which at present prevails. If men u-Pro nut into office who would give honest and clean legislation they would give the ballot to women. Merely llounekeeplnie. "'Legislation is housekeeping on the largest scale, and everybody know: woman is an important factor in good housekeeping." Speaking from her bench outside the window of Greenlee Bros.' plant. .Mrs. McCullough reminded her audi ence of the franchise privileges ob tained by women in Norway, Sweden and Denmark. "Many of you came to this country to better the condition of your fami lies. Do you want your wives and daughters to have fewer privileges in this country than would have been theirs had they remained over there? "Most men when elected to the law making body lose sight of the fact thoy are chosen to represent women and children as well as men." Miss Helen Todd made her audience of men take notice of her reasons why laboring women should vote. Women eel I'roteelion. She declared the 9.0oo.imo women and girls working in factories need as much protection as boys. After stren uous effort the women oflliinois suc ceeded in getting a in hour law through the legislature, she said, w'ith which statute they were forced to be content, but if women could have voted an eight hour law would have been passed. "Women needs the ballot becae.se politics controls everything of vital import to women and her home," she continued. "The trouble is the country lias gon mad over legislation and cares little for Pdministration. The hue and cry 1 1 v. ua 1 1'. kf l!. 1 It L mm m 041 Ml RfRfiWirHH-rlHI ISM I.-H3 w.

The suffragists held a street corner meeting in the afternoon and another at Court House si"aie last night which was well attended. Rev. Kate Hughes was one of the speakers last night. The campaigners were entertained by Katberine F. O'Connor, a leading club woman, at dinner last night and at the home of Miss Jessie Ppafford. president of the Rockford Woman's club, at noon.
