To Condemn for Stree1.-Condemna-
ton proceedings are to be instituted
against property owners who refuse to
deed to the city the ground that is ne
cessary to permit of the opening of
nineteenth street from Twelfth avenue
south to Twentieth avenue. AT a meet
ing of the city council petition from
C. w. Lundahl was read. Mr.. Lun-
dahl is the largest individual owner of
property along the route of the propos-
ed road. He asks that steps to open
the road be taken at once. The coun-
Gil in response ordered the ordinance
committee to draft an ordinance pro-
viding for condemnation suits. The
road to be opened has been under con-
sideration for some time. 1t is to be a
scenic drive, 100 feet wide, following
the bed of the ravine between the ave
nues designated. A thoroughfare with
grade considerably less than that of
any present hill street is proposed.
To DisquaIIfy AIdermen?-That the
East Moline council is without authO-
rity to act for the people which that
body represents. and that the council
has no legal right to transact business
of any nature was the startling declar-
atoms of Alderman James c. mellow
ell at stormy council session Mon
day evening. A declaration by Mellow
ell that some of the aldermen repre-
sent wards from which they have NOV
ed since election, and that he proposed
to take steps to have the aldermen in
question disqualified, was like striking
match in an atmosphere charged
with sulphur and birthstone. Charges
and counter-charges followed thick
and fast. Throughout the harangue AL
derman Mcdowell remained obdurate.
AT least three aldermen at the pres
ent time are not residents of the wards
which they represent in the council
declared Alderman Mcdowell. If these
aldermen have not either resigned or
moved back into the wards whose res
idents they represent before the time
for holding the January meeting, he
proposes to take steps to have them
disqualified. Aldermen STANCE. Dralle,
and Wylie are the three aldermen who
have moved from the wards which
they represent in the council. They

announced their intention of moving
into the wards they represent as soon
as houses are available. Alderman Nc
dowell takes the position that every
act of the council since the present
members took their seats has been Il
legal The city clerk and two patrol
men have not furnished bonds accep-
table to the council. He announced his
intention of taking steps toward hav
ing the proper bonds furnished.
Engine Blows Up; Waterman Es-
capes.-Bert Davis of Presumption. EN-
ployed by the Burlington road as en-
CINE, Waterman, had close call from
death. when a switch engine on which
he was working, blew up at 1920 yes
terday morning in the yards at Tween
ty-fifth street. this city. Davis was in
the engine cab when the explosion oc-
CURED, but escaped with a few minor
bruises and cuts. The engine was
damaged to the extent of 81 800 Davis
came to Moline two weeks ago and
rooms at 1882 Fifth-and-a-half avenue
Rock Island He has been serving as
Waterman of a switch engine in the
Moline yards at nights. 1t is said that
he turned cold water into the boiler
when he noticed t nat the water in
the gauge was low. There were about
100 pounds of steam in the boiler at
the time. The force of the explosion
lifted the engine off it's wheels, and 1t
settled on the ground on its left side
The crown sheet and crown head were
blown out. A steel coal car on the d.
r. 1. & n. w. tracks alongside the en-
CINE was badly damaged. Pieces of
hard wood four feet in length. used in
building fires in engines, were hurled a
distance of 200 feet by the force of the
explosion. Davis was, on the fireman's
side of the engine. Fortunately the
cab was not demolished when the en-
CINE toppled over or he might have
been fatally crushed. He crawled out
of the cab and went to his room, first
reporting the accident.

DAVENPORT

Churches ConsoIIdate.-The Episco-
Grace cathedral, meeting in separate
session, each in its own place of wor-
ship, Monday evening unanimously
voted to consolidate the two parishes
into one organization to be known as
Trinity Cathedral parish. Through the
Official sanction of the members of the
two congregations the formal approval
of the most important action that has
been taken in church matters in Dav-
export for many years, was recorded.
AS has been announced before, the
consolidation of the parishes is effected

ish into. Trinity parish Rev. Marina
duke Hare Is retained as rector of the
consolidated parishes.
D.
Saloon Permit Levied Upon. - For
the second time within a space of a
month the saloon permit OF D. E. Casey
has been levied upon for the insolven-
cy of a debt, and as the result of an
attachment secured by Mrs. Honore
Garvey, as landlord of the building in
which Casey conducts his saloon at
| the corner of Fourth and Iowa streets,
the saloon was closed up by Constable
Philip Kahles, by whom the attachment
papers were served The debt which
is involved in the latest attack upon
the saloon amounts to $50, which it is
alleged is due Mrs. Garvey for rent on
the premises which has been uncOl-
lected The papers were served Mon
day night a few moments before the
saloon closed its doors for the night,
and 1t is probable that the place will
remain closed until a satisfactory ad
justment can be made of the existing
conditions. The fact that the saloon
permit has been levied upon and not
the property, again brings to light the
| fact that a saloon permit in Davenport
has intrinsic value The enactment
! and enforcement of the Moon law has
! limited the number of saloons in the
! city and a permit has accordingly as
sumed commercial value.

Henry Schroeder, one of Davenport's
old-time harness makers, was found
cold in death at her home, 726 West

police who had been summoned by
neighbors after an effort had been
made to enter her home. She was
found lying on the floor of her bed
room, and was fully dressed, indicating
that she had arisen and was about the
house when the fatal stroke came. Mrs
Schroeder for some time past had been
in rather poor health and had been
taken care of by neighbors who at
tended to her wants each day. Yester-
day, when an effort was made to enter
the house, the doors were all locked

of 80 days in jail. The case was call

DROPPING FROM. THE CLOUDS

How 1t feels to- drop from the clouds
 in a parachute is thrillingT described
 in the November number of Popular
 Mechanics by Captain Penfold. the
 famous Australian aeronaut. He says:
 "Glancing up at your parachute to see if the cords are disentangled. you grasp your trapeze rope by one hand, your cutaway line with the other. cross your legs around your trapeze bar. collect your thou ghts, and pull the knife. At once the wind rushes past you. the trapeze seems not to hold your weight, you fall as if pushed. from high stage into the water at the baths. You look over head to see the parachute open, the parachute cloth is dropping in bun dle to reach you as it were, but be- fore it does. your weight tells and pulls the cords straight. the wind catches under the cloth of your canopy. you have a few anxious moments as it slowly unfolds like huge umbrella and with a slight tug ( as if fish

Claims in Mix-up.

Lem Overlook returned from the Ha' chita mining district where he went Saturday evening for the purpose of examining some properties which are located in the vicinity of the Anderson Apache mine, now being worked by Harry Duey, says the Bisbee Review. MT. Overlook stated that he and his associates had ten claims on which they have expended about 5000 in location and assessment work. He was surprised to find that MT. Ducy had located all his claims. He did not sec MT. Duey, but thinks there must have been mis- take about the location of these claims, as the development work upon them was begun about the middle of last De cember and was finished late in Febru- ary. The location work consisted of deepening shaft seventy feet.
