GET ANOTHER Big FACTORY
ANOTHER BLOCK
TO ACCOM- ODATE
MONITOR PLANT

Minneapolis, Mimi, Nov. 20 (Spec-
ial) At a meeting of the directors
of the Monitor Drill company at the
office of the concern here today, the
action of the Moline Pillow company,
the parent corporation, in deciding
to remove the plant from this city
to Rock Island, was ratified.
1t was announced that there would
be an alteration in the original build
ing plans on the Gordon tract, in the
east part of Rock Island, where the
Monitor plant is to be located. 1t is
found that there is not room in the
Gordon tract adequate to accommo-
date the new buildings and to af-
ford the additional space an option
has been obtained upon the block ly-
ing directly east, on the north side
of Fifth avenue and embracing the
Snnet homestead. The block in
cludes IA dwelling houses, and the
whole has been purchased for $40,-
900. The main building of the Mon
itor plant will be 1900 feet long
instead of 1909, as announced orig
inally. The new buildings are to be
ready for occupancy next September.
Excavation for the building has al
ready begun.
The deal for the requirement of
the block east of the Gordon tract was
negotiated by Robert Bennett of this
city.
1t is understood the location of the
Monitor factory here will add 5000
population to Rock Island.

THE TROUBLE IN PITTSBURGH.

The action of the Pittsburgh, Penn
sylvania Police Department In arrest
ing Unfortunately All the colored
people in the city, that appeared to
be without employment, simply be-
cause alleged assaults or attempted
assaults had been made upon white
girls in that city. to our minds was
confession of lack of ability in the
detective and police departments.
That such action was resented by the
law-abiding element of the Negro pop
uiation was TO be expected, just as it
would have been resented by the
law-abiding population of this city.
There was a similar disposition to
do this kind of thing in Richmond a
few years ago. but the idea was re-
jected and the sleuths hereabouts got
down to work and it is a noticeable
fact that colored man, who beat 4
white girl on a Sunday morning,
while robbing her was arrested with
the girls property upon his person
within ten hours from the time that
the crime was committed. That was
a practical demonstration of the Skill
and ability of the Police Department
