SMALL PANIC WHEN
POLICE ALARM RINGS
Telling Of Bell at Watch Tower Is
Mistaken for Fire Call, and Peo-
pie Rush From Inn.

There was considerable excitement
and panic was narrowly averted last
evening at the Watch Tower, when the
alarm bell on the inn was rung to
summon the park police together to
quell a fTee-forall fight in the west
end of the grounds. When the alarm
came i'll from that part of the grounds,
the big bell was rung, and some one
on the second floor veranda shouted
fire" Instantly there was rush for
the stairways, and it was with difficulty
that the. crowd was quoted and con-
WINGED that there was no danger what
ever. The call was necessitated by a
fight in which one man is said to have
been defending himself in an attack
made on him by seven other young
men. He put four of his assailants out
of the skirmish when the alarm was
sounded. The bell was still tolling
when all of the combatants took to
their heels and escaped from the
grounds.
The park was crowded all evening,
thousands seeking relief from the in
tense heat in the cool ride on the cars
and the cooler air over the river. 1t
was one of the largest crowds at the
Tower this season

and slipped and fell into the canal,
where the water was between 10 and
II feet deep. She went down, but
came up again, and her clothing was

Rock Island Cavalry Officer Departs
Hastily for Springfield for
Duty.

Captain Walter A Rosenfield has
gone to the front. Hastily called from
the sylvan shades of the upper Missis-
sippi. whence he had gone to seek
rest after a tedious march overland
across the state, he buckled on his
armor at an early hour this morning
and departed for the state capitalize

morning Captain Rosenfield betoolk
himself to Princeton, Iowa, to join the
Lamb hOuseboat party for a weeks
outing. During the late afternoon an
order came to him from the adjutant
generals office at Springfield Captain
Rosenfield fastened to Rock Island.
He commenced donning his uniform at
once. At o'clock this morning he
was in heavy marching order. A half
hour later Captain Rosenfield might
have been seen speeding in his light
running and durable" touring car to-
ward the Rock Island passenger sta
ton. He was dressed to kill" and
armed to the teeth. Besides he wore
all his medals and badges of honor
under orders. At the station before
boarding the train he sent a night mes
sage to Paul Gore to have his laundry
attended to and to put his watch and
other valuables in the Annex safe.
Up to this time no one had an OPP
pOrtunity to speak with him. An Ar

and rode as far as Bureau Junction,

F0RBIDS DANCES
Mayor Through Police Served
Notice on Proprietors Of Beer
Gardens in City.
PERMISSION is REQUIRED
Intention ls to Put End to Public En-
tertainments by Fake Clubs
Lodges Not Affected.

Acting ON orders issued by Mayor
Schaffer, Chief Eckhart of the police
department has served notice on the
proprjetors of beer gardens, placing the
same restrictions on the gardens in the
matter of dances as those which were
promulgated year ago relative to sa
loon dances. The mayor a year ago
ordered that no dances be held in sa.
looms or rooms Immediately adjacent
to bar rooms, without special permits
sion, and the result is the practical
elimination of this form Of questionable
entertainment. Mayor Schaifer's ac
ton in extending the rule to beer gar
dens is the result of police department
reports, and personal observations on
tour he made last week. He gave
ont the order as follows: Hereafter
no dances may be held in these places
unless application for permit has
been made to the mayor, and he has
granted a permit to hold the dance in
question"
Lodges NOT Hit.
Mayor Schaffer explained the order
in an interview given out this morn
ing, speaking as follows:
1.-The reason for imposing a strict
regulation upon places which have
been practically free from restraint are
probably obvious to everyone who has
visited one of these places when one
of the public dances was in progress
Even glance at the mixed crowds OF
people i'll attendance, respectable young
people of both sexes in contact with
persons who have LONG forgotten the
significance of responsibility and de
cency, was sufficient to warrant the
proclamation of rule which would
lessen the possibilities of general con
tamination and opportunities for the
degradation of young girls who may
attend these dances through ignorance
and are started on the downward path
through their association with immoral
persons and the imbibing of intoxi
cants.
1T should be clearly understood that
this rule does not effect lodges, unions
and other social organizations which
for years have been accustomed to hold
their picnics in these gardens, and
whose members are personally inter
ested in keeping out persons of ques
tionable character and as anxious as
anyone could possibly be to prevent
actions calculated TO cause moral dam
age. What we propose to prevent is
the dances given by what might be
termed fake clubs, composed of lin
tied number of men who get together
for the purpose of promoting beer gar
den dances as a means of getting some
easy money. 1t is the dances given by
such individuals or organizations which
are characterized by the unwholesomt
condition referred to, and which We
are determined to eliminate"
