Council Must Resoind.-A new phase
of the moving picture show war now
on in this city has been discovered by
City Attorney Axel Kohler. Members
of the city council must either repeal
the petition or amend the theatre ordi-
nance and no orders from the mayor
to issue license can change the pres
ent condition of things. No licenses
will be issued by the city clerk until
the council votes TO rescind the petit
ton passed at the last council ses-
session or change the ordinance. NO
matter how many petitions are receiv-
for the troublesome petition, no action
can be taken in favor of the moving
picture men until the act of the coun-
Gil is repealed. 1t is thought that this
matter will come up at the next ses-
sion of the council. Petitions asking
for the annulling of the petition are eX-
pected. 1t is known that persons in
terested in the adoption of the petit
ton to shut out further picture shows
are now in favor of having this piece
of municipal legislation annulled.

Mayor Stops Accordeon-That music
can be produced with an ACCORDION
was officially proved yesterday when
Saloonkeeper Rickegham of Thir-
teenth street. East Moline, paid
$3.50 to Magistrate Cartwright for
injecting few sonorous roarings in
to the evening air. Mayor Johnson
was walking down Thirteenth street
when he heard the strains of a one
man orchestra issuing from the sa-
loon, violating a city ordinance
which prohibits music in barrooms.
Shakespeare once said that music
hath charms to soothe the savage
breast, but the harmony from the
ACCORDION failed to charm the may
or. It inspired wrath instead for
he gave a policeman orders to close
the saloon and not to allow 1t re-
opened without first consulting him.
Rickegham squared matters but the
mayor warned him that the second
offense would mean revocation of
his license.
