PHYSICIANS INCREASE
THEIR CHARGE FOR VISITS

meeting of Rock Island and Mo
line physicians was held at the Har-
per house last evening for the con-
sideration of new fee bill prepared
by a committee appointed at Il pre-
vious meeting at which revision
was decided upon. The bill as re
ported was adopted and the commit
tee was authorized to complete Ger
tain details and present it to the IL
censed physicians of the two cities
for their signatures, upon which it
will go into effect.
The changes are few in number
The most important is that raisin
the charges for visits within the linn
its of either city between the hours
of 8 a. III. and 6 p. IN. to from $3.50 to
So. By the bill now in force the linn
its are from 81 to So The fees for
visits between the hours of 6 and 3
a. m. and 6 and 10 p. IN. are left as
before, from 81 to 81, as are those be
tween the hours of 10 p. m. and a.
m, now So to S.. The charges for
obstetrical and surgical practice are
practically the same as those now in
force, although a number of new OPP
erations have been added to the lists.
Local physicians state that the
charges in this city are now the same
as those in Davenport and in other
cities of the same rank as Rock ISL
and. In Moline there is no fee bill in
force at the present time and there
has accordingly been great irregular
ity in the fees charged.

The Rock Island Retail Merchants
association held its regular meeting
last evening, transacting nothing but
routine business. Some time was

IS WINNER
Judge Ramsay Renders Decision
in Suits Brought by
Sears.
IMPORTANT VICTORY FOR COMPANY
Injunction Granted =
Master Against Village
Stands.

The questions at issue between the
village of Sears and the Tri-City Rail
way company which resulted in the
argument of two MOTIONS for injune-
tons early in the present term OF
court have been decided by Judge
Ramsay. before whom they were ar
gued, in favor of the company. The
finding of the Judge was filed here to-
day.
One of the motions argued was
made by the counsel for the village
for a dissolution of the temporary in
junction granted by Master in Chan
Gerry Entriken at the time that the
citizens of the village tore up the
track across the Twelfth street road,
restraining them from further mo-
lestation of the property of the com
pany. The other was also made by
the counsel for the village and pray
ed an Injunction to prevent the com
pany from operating its cars in the
village limits. Both were argued at
the same time and both were taken
under advisement by the judge. To-
day il was learned that the motion
for the dissolving of the injunction
in force had been overruled and the
petition for the other had been re-
fused.

Annual State Convention.

Secretary Freeman is arranging
for delegation to attend the annual
state convention, which will be held
Thursday, Friday and Saturday OF
this week at Kankakee. Last year at
Dixon the Rock Island delegation It
Dixon was the largest of that from
any city in the state outside of Chi
cago. but this year the number win
not be so large on account of the
greater distance and the difficulty OF
reaching the convention city from
this point.

Opinion of Court.

The court holds that as to the ques
tion raised by the village that no no
tice was given for the renewal of the
franchise. that no notice was neces-
sary because that law requiring no.
tice applied only in cases where it
was an original construction of the
road, and not where il was renew
al of n franchise, and that this same
question is involved as to the peti
ton of the abutting land owners.
That no petition was necessary in
case of n renewal.
The court holds that the ordinance
was legally passed; that it received
three votes of the four trustees in
the village board; that the words, lin
the village board" applied to trus-
tees, who were then members of the
village board. and that the vote that
the ordinance obtained of three for
and one against was legal vote,
when there were only four members
i'm the village board.
The court also holds that the Tri-
City Railway company is n railroad
within the meaning of the law of
1897, and that it is excepted from its
terms.

Decision Important One.

This is considered an important
victory for the company in its bear
ing upon the other suits now pending
with the villages of Sears and Milan.
Of course, the plaintiffs may take an
appeal, but that will require time,
and it is doubtful if the people of
Sears will be willing to back up pro-
longed fight for the amount that is at
stake. The company is represented
in the case by Jackson. Hurst & STAFF

Power to Extend Franchise.

The court also holds that the viii
lage board had power to extend the
franchise at any time before the eX-
piration of the old license.
And on the contention that the vii
lage board had no power to extend
the franchise to foreign corpora
ton, the court holds that such a
question is not properly involved in
these injunction suits.

SYSTEM HUGE SUCCESS
NARCoNIoRAMs SENT ACROSS
 THE oCEAN.
Transmittsd Without a Hitch and 1000 Words an Hour Can Be
 Handled Edward VII
 Sends Congratulations.

London. Dec 2s.-The London Times confirms the receipt of a message by wire less telegraph from Marconi at Cape Bre- ton. N. &
 The text of the wireless message from The Times correspondent, which was transmitted from 0lace Bay. N. s., to Pold House, Cornwall. is as follows: D
 Being present at its transmission in Szxnor MarconPs Canadian station, l have the honor to send through The Times the inventors first wireless trans Atlantic message of greeting to England and Italy,
 The representatives of Marconi say they have been receiving transatlantic ~mes- sages for a week. They add that the mes sage to King Edward and others came through without a hitch and practically instantaneously. It is calculated that the company will be able to handle 1000 words per hour.
 As soon as it is able to get the post ofilcers to connect Poldhu with the inland telegraph. the company will commence receiving commercial business between Cornwall and Nova Scotia.
 Marconi has expressed mild satisfaction with the results recently obtained but the manager here said the inventor was always so sure he would be able to achieve his al mthat they did not expect him to be enthusiastic. Marconi is going to Cape Cod where his apparatus only needs a slight adjustment before It will be ready to be connected up with Poldhu. which at present is the only wireless sta ton on this side capa bleof receiving trans Atlantic messages. Other stations will shortly be built on the continent.
