BURGLARS TOOK CLOTHING
Entered Minister'S Home-Gag Watch
Dog at Another House.

Burglars entered the home of Rev.
w. S. Marquis, 726 Twenty-third street,
and took away several suits of clothes,
the latter part of last week. The burg
larizing still continues in that vicinity
and it is a comman occurrence to see
suspicious characters in the neighbor-
hood Last night on Nineteenth street
suspicious characters were seen. but
no houses were entered. as far as
could be learned. A dog found bound
and gagged this morning. is evidence
that the thieves are still boldly at
work
1t is learned that burglars made two
attempts to enter the home of DR.. AL.
fred Stocker. 1920 Seventeenth street,
early in the week The burglars were
seen in the rear of the house shortly
after midnight, and were frightened
away, and again about O'Clock in the
morning were discovered at work try
ing to effect an entrance at the rear of
the house Again they were frighten-
ed away by Dr. Stocker. and the police
notified 1t was found that screen
had been partly removed.
If burglaries continue with the pres
ent regularity and the police manifest
the slowness they did in at least one
instance mentioned the other day it
might be well to try the plan that
worked successfully at Peoria Monday
night. according to the Journal. A
burglar was discovered in a residence
in the neighborhood of fire station
and the owner notified the firemen in
stead of the police. Three husky lads
with axes hurried to the house and sur
rounded it. When Mr.. Burglar got
wind that there was something doing
and tried to escape he fell into the
arms of a fire fighter and was taken
into custody. Might do worse than
give the firemen chance in Rock
Island the next time the opportunity
arises.

spectors, Frank Hoey and Charles II
kjellquist, from the office of State
Food Commissioner Jones of Chicago
are in the two cities gathering sam
pies of milk, to be analysed at the state
laboratory. Yesterday the two inspec

As samples of milk, cream and butter
milk. and today the inspectors gather
ed like samples in Rock Island The
inspectors buy the samples of milk
paying for it and taking receipts sign
ed by the dealer The samples are
placed in sealed bottles, bearing a
number corresponding to the dealers
receipt.
| VIII Prosecute Violations.
The bottles are sent to the state la
boratory at Chicago, where the samples
are given a careful chemical analysis
If any preservatiyes, formaldehyde Oh
other chemical material is found to
| have been added to the milk, or if
there is shown to have been any viola
ton of the state pure food laws, the
evidence secured by the analysis will
be turned over to the states attorney
here, who is compelled to prosecute
the dealers.
| The inspectors came unannounced
and accounts of their work in Moline
yesterday were withheld in order tina;
dealers here might not be prepared for

| The chemical analysis will prove the
suspicious of the sale of milk from
diseased animals either to be correct
or unfounded and action will be taken
as stated if the test indicates viola
| tons of the law.
Warn Now; Prosecute Next Time.
AT the Harms this noon Inspectors
| Hoey and Kjellquist told of the man
ner in which their work is conducted.
They explained the system in which the
records of the tests are kept, and eX-
| hibited the samples, nearly 30 in num-
bers, taken from dealers in this city.
These are in half pint bottles. each
bearing the state seal, marked with
name of the inspector. They will be
analysed tomorrow in Chicago.
I'VE warned the dealers here today
about the necessity of keeping their
wagons and cans clean, of labelling
cans containing skim milk. and about
| the care required to keep the milk free
from dirt. We found nearly % wagons

name of the dealer on them. We came
| Unexpectedly this time, and we are
likely to drop in any time The next
time we will not warn. but prosecute
these violations of the law" said Mr..

found to be in diseased condition, but
the sale of the milk had been stopped.

London, July 20-Irritated by the
lack of opportunities to discuss Scot
tish questions In the house of COM
mons and somewhat jealous of the
promises of greater control Of local
affairs made to Ireland in the kings
speech at the opening of parliament
the Scottish members have selected
Mr.. Perie, Liberal member for the
North division Of Aberdeen, to intro
duce bill providing for the establish
ment of parliament for Scotland.
The bill provides for the creation Of a
single chamber legislature to deal with
purely Scottish legislation. Peers will
be eligible to membership and the ex-
ecutive power will continue to be vest
ed In the crown The bill also pro-
vides for revival of the old Scottish
privy council as 1t existed prior to the
union. 1t is proposed that the Scot
tish parliament shall have power to
impose taxes. except customs and ex-
else duties, the king to be represented
by lord high commissioner and the
seat of government to be at Edtn-
burgh.
Outside of the friends OF Mr.. Perie.
who favors local self-government for
all nationalities of the United King
dom, the project is not taken serious
ly. There Is no demand among the
people of Scotland for q local parlia-
ment.
