FACTORY PROPOSITION
BEFORE CLUB COMMITTEE

The Rock Island Club manufactures
committee this afternoon held meet
ing with A. l.. HOyt, of the banking
firm of j. G.. Hoyt d Co., of Cleveland,
Ohio, with reference to Il proposition
that has been before the local gen
tlemen for several days and to which
The Argus has previously made refer
ence
The matter, which is one that may
mean much to this city if properly
taken care of and fostered. relates to
the establishing of a factory here for
the manufacture Of railway cars, and
Mr.. Hoyt. who is backed by Cleveland
and other eastern capitalists, also
represented \. l.. Jacobs. recently SUI
perintendent of the Niles Tool &; Car
company, who is at the head of the
present movement to establish a new
enterprise.
The proposition has been submit
ted to a number of other places be-
sides Rock Island. though Mr.. Hoyt
states that this locality is favored by
the promoters.
! 1t is proposed to erect 100000
| plant and the promoters and capital
lists back of them desire TO put in
about half Of that amount, the people
of the place where the factory is To-
Gated furnishing the balance. About
200 men would be employed in the
sort of establishment proposed.
There is "a good field for the manu-
facture of steam and electric cars,
present factories being unable to sup
| ply. the demand, and it seems certain
tbat preSant conditions will continue
so long as suburban roads are being
developed. Rock Island would be a
central location for such a factory.
The local capitalists who have in
terested themselves in the matter
have been given two weeks in which
to make reply as to whether they will
take up with the proposition that has
been submitted.

1t is not generally known that Rock

entirely free of smallpox. The quar-
antine was removed from the Huls-
brink family on Fifth avenue last
week. and since that time no further
cases have developed. As the wealth
er grows warmer the danger of fur
Their cases becomes less and less.
There have been but four families af
fected so far this season, and if no
other cases develop the city may be
accounted well off to have escaped st
easily.

Four Counts Quashed

In the other case four counts of the
indictment were quashed and the
fifth was held valid. The Indictment
sustained relates to the alleged pass
ing of a check upon Mr. Larkin by
the defendant when the latter had
no funds in the bank against which
to draw. The four counts held to be
of no effect related to alleged mis-
representation of the value of two
carloads of marble purchased by Mr.
Larkin from the defendant and the
alleged misrepresentation of the facts
in regard to the prepayment of the
freight on the same. States Attorney

THE NATIONAL MILITIA LAW.

sThe opinion of Judge Advocate General Davis who
officially informs the secretary of that the new ma
tona militia law will vest the control of the several
state organizations in the federal government will serve
to remove all doubts of the expediency of that excellent
piece of legislation. >+~'~ :

of the several national guard organizations by regular
army officers and annual association of the state militia
