MeBSr8. and Mesdames NEWCOMER IS LIKELY TO II JUDGE INTIMATES THE PLAINTIFF HAS NOT MADE OUT CASE Ask that Briefs Be Submitted Be fore His Final Decision Is Handed Down Mrs Edna Newcomer seems likely to win her case so far as blocking the granting of a divorce to her husband is concerned. Judge House this afternoon, after all the evidence was submitted, intimated that the plaintiff had not made out a case againBt his wife and be seemed to be in favor of denying the petition for a divorce. The judge however, asked that briefs be submitted to him with a citation of any cases bearing on the case before his final decision. As to Mrs Newcomer's cross petition in which she asked that she be granted a decree of divorce from her husband the judge stated that he was as yet undecided.

and would want to look up the law on the matter before making any final decision. He stated that Newcomer's accusations against his wife were not grounds for a divorce unless he had reasonable grounds to base his suspicions. Whether Mrs Newcomer's actions were such as to give her husband grounds for suspicions sufficient for him to base his accusations on the judge stated that he was not yet ready to decide. At the conclusion Attorney Peters-berger who was called into the case three hours before the trial commenced yesterday asked to be allowed to take the depositions of parties In Chicago. The court held, however, that he might not have been in the case but a short time Mr Newcomer had opportunity to get all the witnesses necessary and he refused to allow the depositions submitted.

A large number of witnesses were called to the stand today after Mrs Newcomer had told her story but their evidence was simply to corroborate one or the other of the various stories that had been told.

S. Riche, U. S. to take up the application of the Spring Lake drainage commissioners for permission to permanently close that region to navigation. Judge Curran of Pekin made the plea In behalf of the drainage commissioners.

In the Illinois river the land in question was suited for cultivation and that the channels leading through it had never been considered navigable. Major C. S.

This was agreed to, and the hearing was continued thirty days. STEWARTVILLE STEWARTVT LLE, 111., Feb. 10. Mr arid Mrs Fred Lubnow were business callers In Geneseo Monday. Arthur Roesner and Tommie Washburn spent, Saturday with Chas.

A. From olt to 100 Boosters Will Get Busy on That Date For Systematic Canvass For Memberships The preliminaries for a one-day membership campaign for the Y. M. C. A.

to be held Feb. 23 are now being planned by the board of directors, finance committee and membership committee, who will hold a special meeting at 7:30 o'clock Friday evening in the association rooms. An effort will be made to give the mem-bership another boost on the day set aside for that purpose. A city of the size of Davenport should have an association of from 1,000 to 1,200 members, especially with the new building and equipment which the organization has. The work was discontinued here for a few years and dormant, and it is therefore naturally a more difficult matter to handle the proposition than if the association had been in existence continuously.

One day membership campaigns have been held in other cities with excellent results, and it is expected that with the proper degree of enthusiasm a large number of additional applications can be secured in Davenport. For this reason the directors and committees have planned to secure from 50 to 100 men who will give their entire time to the campaign on Wednesday, Feb. 23, to the membership work. This number of men, interested sufficiently to give their time to the work for a day. will co-operate and conduct a sys tematic canvass for memberships.

The members of this rally commit tee will meet in the association rooms in the morning of the campaign day and select names from a carefully prepared list which will be ready for use, and put in the day in seeing the parties whose names they have taken. Luncheon will be taken at the build ing during the noon hour, when notes wilj he compared and lists readjusted for the afternoon's work. If the same spirit can be put into the work that imbued the solicitors in the building fund campaign in 1906 the success of the campaign 1s assured. The committee requests that if there are any who are interested in the movement and will be able to give a day to the work, but do not happen to be seen by a member of the committee, they may get in touch with the work by calling 2020 on the telephone, the association number. dropping a postal card, or call at the office in person and leaving their name and address.

The board and committees wiRh to secure all of the boosters possible. Fast Basket Ball Games Two exceptionally good and fast basket ball games were played at the Y. M. C. A.
