Traffic During Rush Hours in Alb
sence of Tripper Agitates Loop
Completion.

People are anxiously awaiting the
commencement of operation on the
track extensions the Tri-City Railway
company is to make this summer on
various of its lines in the city, and the
company has promised to begin just as
soon as its iron arrives. On the Long
View line the completion of the
loop, which promises more uni
form service, the congestion Of
traffic is particularly felt doing
the rush hours on the west
bound cars. On one car, which was
jammed TO the guards last night. 10
people were counted on the rear plat
form. 1t is doubtful, in fact, If the
conductor got all the fares, and there
is considerable complaint over the
abandonment of the tripper which re-
lieved the congestion during the hour
that most of the people are travelling.
General Superintendent Huntoon
stated this afternoon that if the tripper
on the Long View line had been pulled
off it was without his knowledge, and
il would be promptly restored.

Several Cases Ignored.
In addition to the four cases re-
ported in The Argus last evening
as being ignored, two more were sim
ilarly disposed of. They were those
against George Green (coIored)
who was charged with assault with
a deadly weapon, and against Harry

BUT WHY2
A girl with a corn!
She's a creature forlorn.
Her steps are six inches
Long-for the shoe pinches;
And, if she is pretty,
she's an object of pity,
For she'll never acknowledge the
corn!
Not shei Though the pain
Is intense, she'll explain

Too big, they don't touch
Her feet anywhere.

LACK OF MODERN
ALARM A DANCER
Council Should Provide Auto
matte System Without
Further Delay.
TELEPHONE is UNRELIABLE
Mistakes in Sending Calls to De-
partment Result in Letting
Flames Get Headway.

Report has it there is a movement
in the city council to defeat the plan
10 install the proposed modern fire
alarm system in Rock Island this year,
despite that $4,000 was appropriated in
the annual budget to cover a first pay
ment on the apparatus.
Representatives of two companies, in
response to a call for proposals, are on
the ground with displays of their equip
ment. They have made bids to the
council, each offering a cash transac-
ton or the installing of the equipment
on a rental basis covering a three-year
period. a bill of sale to be given at the
expiration of that time providing the
city is satisfied. The rental money, of
course, is to apply on the purchase
price. This strikes one as a decidedly
advantageous arrangement for the city,
and Overcomes whatever objection
might be raised that there is not funds
available with which to meet the eX-
pense of the improvement.
Putting Up with MakeshIfts.
Rock Island for years has been eX-
shifts, and it would be a serious error
for the council, in view of the prom
ises that have been held out to the
public, to turn its back on the advance
that it has made looking towards Civ
ing the city the protection that it has
been so long demanding and expecting
from year to year. One ordinary fire
would represent in losses more than
the outlay for the modern alarm sys-
TEN.
Rock Island is the only city of its
size today that know of in this coun-
try that is without an automatic fire
alarm system" George Newberry, chief
of the fire department, said. The de-
partment is seriously handicapped, and
the wonder to me is that property has
not suffered more than it has on &C
count of the mistakes in location due to
the incorrectness of telephone fire
calls. The biggest fire we had last
year got an uncheckable start because
informing the department of the loca-
ton of the blaze. In time of fire peo-
pie naturally grow excited.
Several Calls for Same Fire.
Several will run to the telephone
and call the central engine house. One
will say the fire is at Eighteenth ave-
nue. and Thirtieth street; another will
give Eighteenth street and Thirteenth
avenue. This has happened frequently,
and will continue until such time as
the city is provided with the system
that it must have if property is to be
given adequate protection. The me-
tallic automatic system is a guarantee
against such mistakes"
Business men and large holders OF
property especially are interested in
the plan to provide a modern fire alarm
apparatus. They are obliged to pay
the penalty for inadequate protection
in increased insurance rates. II is to
be supposed that the hazard is increas-
ed by the insufficiencies referred TO by
the chief of the fire department. Every
property holder in the city is concern
ed, and it is to be hoped that the coun-
ell will not allow the city to go I'M
protected another year. The $4,000
expenditure is but small considera-
