PLACES BLAME
ON BREWERIES
Mayor Declares Their Avarice
Compelled Saloonkeepers
to Break Laws.
NEW ORDERS ARE ISSUED
Municipal Head Says Lettering of Wo-
ment in Places VIII Be Pro-
hibited in Future.

In fuldllment of his pledge uttered
six weeks ago when The Argus called
attention to the vicious condition of
the saloon business in the city, Mayor
G. w McCaskrin is personally serving
the following typewriter Instructions
to the saloonkeepers as they call On
him at his ONCE in the city hall for
renewals Of their licenses for the en-
suing six months:
Rock Island, ILL.,, Nov 10, 1909.-To
the proprietor or owner or employee
conducting any saloon within the cor
porate limits of the city Of Rock ISL
and, for which you hold a license for
said business, Gentlemen: I respect
fully beg leave to offer you the follow
ing suggestions:
First-On the granting of your
license I shall require you to strictly
same
Second shall require you to pro-.
hibit all minors from entering your
places and especially the dispensing
Of any intoxicants to such minors.
No Lettering Women.
Third shall insist that all loiter-
ing of women in and about the prem
ises for which you hold such license
be prohibited. And further any neg
lect on your part relative to this fea-
ture will not be tolerated
Fourth-It has been a rule to pro-
hibit music of any kind in the saloons,
of the city during my administration,
and I shall insist that this feature be
observed and you do not abuse this
restriction.
Fifth shall insist on the close OBJ
servance of the IL o'clock closing or
dinance
Rap at the Brevveries.
/ do this for the reason that during
the former six months that the saloons
have had licenses 1 have felt that
they would observe these restrictions
carefully, but now feel that the
brewery interests whose avarice is so
keen have compelled you to overstep
your boundaries in some instances,
and particularly the Rock Island Brew
ing company, for which Otto Huber is
its conservator.
On the receipt Of this license and
the approval Of the accompanying
bond I shall expect that you abide by
these regulations. Yours very truly,
GEORGE w. M'CASKRIN,
Mayor.
VIII Demand Certificates.
The past six months only a few ri
the saloOnkeepers were given their
license certificates. While they were
filed out and their money accepted,
the documents were kept in the Office
of the mayor This time the saloon
keepers are demanding that they ne
furnished the certificates, in order
that in accordance with the law. they

GARBAGE CANS MUST

Sanitary Inspector Gates Sends Notices
Broadcast Warning Citizens
of Ordinance.

Now that gentle Spring-time has
come again, and the buzzy little flies
are buzzing their buzzy way around
the open garbage cans, Sanitary In
spector w. c. Gates is getting busy,
and notices are being sent out broad
cast to property owners throughout the
CITY. calling attention to the city or
dinance, which is to be rigidly en-
forced, providing that there shall be
a losed garbage an on all premises
within the ity limits.
The ordinance was in eeffct last year
and many were compelled to comply
with it's provisions, but owing to the
fact that it was somewhat of an inno-
walton, many took no heed of the
warnings issued by the health depart
ment, and the cans were not covered
save in a few instances, and in the
business district where hotels and res
taurants were depositing large quanti-
ties of refuse matter in the alleys
The penalty prescribed by the ordl-
nance is to be imposed this season
upon all who fail to take action after
receiving notice from the sanitary in
spector.

tation of the city is being made by Mr.

FARMERS PROTEST
AGAINST REMOVAL
State Line Residents Would Rather
Have Station Left Where 1t Is
Than Have 1t Changed.

Because F. S. Drake, manager of
the Northwestern Gas & Electric COM
pany, desired to give to people living
in the vicinity of the state line more
comfort when forced to wait for one
of the cars on the interurban system,
by changing the present station about
1000 yards from where it stands at
present and substituting, in it's place,
structure which would be Elodern III
every particular, a committee, COM
posed of farmers of that locality, yes
terday waited on him and threatened
to drive into the city rather than use
the cars should this change be made.
This move has been contemplated
for some time and was decided upon
because it was realized, by the Off
ciaEs of the company, that the present
way station at the State Line is in
adequate ard not worthy OF the sys-
tenn 1t was therefore decided to
change the location of the station and
after moving it about 1000 yards
farther down the track towards Mil
ton erect one suitable for all purposes
and one that would make waiting for
the cars an easy matter.
This was too radical a move for the
farmers, however, and they straight
way resolved to stop it, if possible. By
stating that they would refuse to use
the cars any longer and further saying
that their trade would all be held in
Milton, they hoped in this manner to
to retain the old station, which Is
nothing more than a shack, but is sit
uared nearer to them.
Nothing has been done in the mat
ter, as yet and will not be for several
weeks but it is probable thai if the
residents do not wish c>good thing
when they can get, they will be given
no more opportunities. When asked
regarding this matter, Mr.. Drake said:
Il don't know what is wrong with
| the people, for we were only trying to
make it easier for them. IF they don't
| wish help they certainly will get none
from us, but definite action has not
| been taken on this question up to the
present time, and l don't know what
| final arrangements will be made
