But this Is too serious n matter to he

The lIOluois theater disaster must

SUNDAY BOWLING IS TOGO
IN MOLINE HEREAFTER

The Moline council last evening, by
vote of 10 to 3. adopted the amend
ment to the city ordinance allowing
the pool rooms and bowling alleys to
open on Sunday.
The argument that persons wanting
these diversions on Sunday could find
them i'm either Rock Island or Daven-
port and that Moline might as well
keep the business at home had weight
with the aldermen. who voted for the
ordinance in the fact of a storm of
protest from the ministers and church
people of the city.
