RUBY MILLER IS
PLACED IN JAIL
Arrested in Pekin on White
Slavery Charge Indicted
by Recent Grand Jury.
Ruby Miller is an inmate of the
county jaiil. She was arrested in
Pekin, following a suppressed indict
ment on a charge of unlawfully de
taining women for immoral purposes.
The indictment grew out of the Flor
ence Crapo ma'ter, the girl who claim
ed to have been induced to come from
Peoria to Kock Island at Ruby's in
vitation, resulting in the former enter
ing a house of ill fame from which she
claims she could not escape.
She was arraigned in circuit court
and placed under $2,000 bonds, which
she could not furnish and she was
placed in the county jail.
The Pekin department of the Peoria
Star says relative to the arrest:
"Vesterday afternoon Sheriff Flue
gel received word from Rock Island
to arrest Ruby Miller, also known as
Hazel Holding and' Ha-:?1 Hicks, who
had been indicted at Rock Islfnd for

NO REPORTS MADE
BY PREDECESSORS
State's Attorney Advises Board
Committee in Eegard to Law
in the Matter.
State's Attorney Thompson's advice
was asked today by the road and
t bridge and judiciary' committees of
j the county board on several matters
which had been referred to these bod
ies for a report One was in regard to
the filing of reports by previous state's
attorneys. It was found that no re
ports have been filed in the county
and circuit courts by Mr Thompson's
predecessors, at least for many years.
Mr. Thompson explained the law to
the supervisors, the provision being
for a report at the beginning of each
term on circuit court matters and an
annual report on county court busi
ness. The board is considering the
advisability of requesting the filing at
such reports by those ho have held
the off.ee prior to Mr. Thompson.
The road and bridge committee
: asked In regard to the Rock river
bridges which the city of Rock Island
! desires the county to take and niain
' tain, and was assured that Rock Is
! land has complied with the law and it
' is now up to the supervisors to take
I charge.
) The Drury toll road furnished an
other problem. The company has
ceased collecting toil on the road and
desires the township or county au-
' thorities to take charge of it. Mr.
j Thompson found no law to cover the
matter and advised arbitration as a
means of settling the trouble.
An application for a 15-year license
for a ferry at Cleveland, on Rock river,
was also passed upon by the state's
attorney, who found the granting of
such a license for more than 10 years
was illegal.

HEAD CAMP PLAN
OF INSURGENTS
Twenty-five States Eepresented
at Convention Held at
Springfield.
700 DELEGATES PRESENT
New System of Rates to Be Offered
to Membership No Candi
dates for Office.
(Special to The Argus.).
Springfield, 111., May 15. Several
hundred delegates from insurgent
camps of the Modern Woodmen of
America, representing 25 states, gath
ered at the state arsenal in this city
this afternoon to effect an 'organiza
tion to be known as "The National
Woodmen Assembly." The organ
ization is composed of members of the
order who are opposed to the increase
of rates made by the head camp at
the meeting in Chicago in January,
1912, and the change in rules of the
order by which it is made practically
an old line life insurance company.
The meeting was called to order by
Dr. James B. Beghtcl of Hastings,
Neb., chairman of the provisional or
ganization of the insurgents effected
at a meeting held in January of this
year in Chicago. Julius Rohwer of
Ida Grove, Iowa, acted as secretary.
PERMANENT ORGANIZATION.
The purpose of the convention today
is to effect a permanent organization
of insurgent Woodmen for the purpose
of electing delegates, to the next head
camp, which meets in 1914, and to
control the head camp, also for the
modification of the by-laws so as to
vest power and authority in the mem
bers, as heretofore, the head camp at
the meeting In Chicago in 1912 having
changed the by-laws, it is alleged by
the insurgents, so as to vest absolute
power in the head, officers to suspend
the by-laws and constitution of the
order as they saw fit.
WILL TALK RATES.
The convention will also discuss the
question of rates and will endeavor to
determine what the rate of assessment
should be. An effort will be made by
the insurgents to send enough dele
gates to the head camp meeting next
year to repeal the new rates, which
have not been put into effect owing to
injunctions having been issued in the
courts against the head officers en
acting them.
The convention will not consider
any candidates for head officers, it
was stated.
DAVENP0RTERS OPEN
WAR ON THE CALLIOPE
A number of Davenporters, disturb
ed by the playing of the steam calli-
ODes on the excursion steamers, are
circulating a petition to the. city coun
cil asking fof the passage of an or
dinance limiting the time during
which the instruments can be played
to from 1 to 2:30 in the afternoon and
from 7 to 8:30 in the evening. One
of thp boats plying the river was re
cently supplied with a calliope at
cost of $750 and naturally the owners
object to the suppression of its 'use.
HOUSE CLEANING AT
THE CITY BASTILE
Today is housecleaning day at the
police station. The two linen peddlers
who were incarcerated Tuesday night,
were today pressed into service, and
began the wcrk of cleaning the ceil
ing, walls and woodwork of the big
waiting room. It is probable that a
ccat of alabastine will be applied
which will greatly improve the ap
pearance of the place in general.
PUBLIC DEBATE PROVES
INTERESTING OCCASION
' Last night the question of "Capital
ism vs. Socialism" was debated with
much enthusiasm by both sides at the
Coliseum in Davenport under the
auspices of the Ethical society. Two
Chicago men, M. M. Mangasarian ana
Arthur M. Lewis were the speakers.
M. M. Mangasarian defended capital
ism while Arthur M. Lewis upheld
socialism.
Fell and Broke Arm.
Mrs. F. Bodell, 1136 Third avenue,
had the misfortune to fall at her home
this morning and fracture her right
arm below the elbow. A physician
was called, after the accident, and fhe
fracture reduced. Reports this after
noon were to te effect that she is
getting along nicely although the In
jury is causing her much pain.

Plans are being made by the Island
City Boating association to stage a

MOTIONLESS TRIP
PROVES NOVELTY
Baker3 Start Out for Big Ex
cursion Which Does Not
Leave the Shore..
The bakers, who are attending the
state convention here got all the river
experience that they wanted without
even leaving the shore last evening.
Early In the evening the weather be
came decidedly threatening, but that
did not scare the delegates. They
came to the Frontenac in force, bring
ing their wives with them, and by 6
o'clock were all ready to brave the
water.
By this time the wind had risen and
the river was responding with some
fair sized waves. The guy lines had
all been hauled in when a heavy.
black cloud rolled up bringing an extra
large gus of wind with it. The boat
couldn't withstand this pressure and
swung clear out into the stream.
The darkness of the cloud and the
heavy downpour of rain combined with
the frantic efforts of the boatmen to
get the boat back to the landing, had
a very decided effect on the poor
bakers.
They came to a quick conclusion
that life on the river wasn't all that
reports claimed. Several rather en
thusiastic visitors started to leave, but
were detained by the officers.
Finally the boat was gotten back to
the shore and safely tied. The bak
ers then made a round of inspection
to 6ee the ropes that bound them to
the solid soil. They seemed satisfied
and decided to stay on the boat since
it meant a good ducking before any
shelter could be reached.
Later things cleared up a little, but
the bakers weren't taking any chances
so the7 told the captain to stay right
close to the shore. Thus the brave
bakers had a motionless excursion and
yet enjoyed all the sensations of river
travel. They danced and sang until
late and went home feeling greatly
pleased with an experience that would
sound so exciting back home.

PROOF
BURGLARS BREAK
t..
INTO HIGH SCHOOL
Principal A. J. Burton's Desk la
Tapped for Some Sum Last
Evening.
i.
Having gained an entrance through
an unlocked window, a burglar ran
sacked Principal A. J. Burton's desk
at the high school building last night.
But a small amount of cash was taken,
and the marauder made away with
about $2 worth of postage stamps and
$1.11 in cash. Principal Burton left
the building about 6 o'clock bound for.
the German picnic, and the building
was locked up for the night.
None of the doors this morning
were found' open, so the supposition Is
that the burglar gained an entrance
through a window on the first floor.
The desk of Principal Burton was
opened by force, the lock catch being1
torn off. It is supposed that the gen
tlemen of light fingers chose last night
for the burglarizing with hopes of mak
ing off with the proceeds of the trl
clty track meat held last Saturday,
turned over to the local high school
last night.
