one central association for mutual
protection and arrange for the placing
of responsible representative at
some central point, s. Louis probably,
next season to receive all unsold ship
ments, and to look after car load ship
ments that are sold and refused by
receivers at the various markets that
are supplied by this territory.

ent. Officers for the central associa-

FILTER REPORTS ARE
CALLED RIDICULOUS
General Manager Leopold Says Seep-
age Always Occurs in New
Concrete Work.

Reports that the concrete con
struction at the new filter plant in
Reservoir park is an inferior piece OF
work is not only groundless but ri
diculous,' +. B. Leopold. genera!
manager of the Pittsburg Filter Man
ufacturing company, stated today on
his arrival in the city from Pittsburg.
"On the whole the filter plant is one
of the mos perfect ever installed by
our company or any other concern. 1t
is true there is slight seepage in the
concrete walls. That was to be ex-
pected. No person who is at all IA
miliaT with concrete construction is
surprised at this. It occurs in nearly
every work of this kind. Frankly, |
looked for greater seepage than there
proved to be when the plant was first
tested. The leaks can be stopped in
three hours. All that will be neces-
sary is to shut down the plant for a
day and make the repairs. My com
pany has given the city of Rock Island
a f1rst-class Job IN every respect, and
we are a little hurt that persons who
ought TO know better should seek to
create the impression that We have
installed an inferior plant here.

Loss Is 500.

Fire which was discovered at 5
o'clock this morning partially destroyed
a 2-story frame structure at Forty-1rst
street and Fourteenth avenue, occupied
by Emil Van Kerrebroeck, who con-
ducts a saloon owned by the Rock Is
land Brewing company.
The flames originated in the base.
ment, and were caused by heat from the
furnace. When the blaze was discov-
cred by Mr.. Van Kerrebroeck. who re-
sides in the building, it had gained con-
siderable Roadway, and before the fire
companies could reach the scene the
entire rear portion of the building was
envelOped. 1t was but a matter of a
few minutes after the arrival of the
guished, however.
The loss on the building is 5000, and
is covered by insurance. The loss on
the fixtures will be 500.
NEW ALARM OVERLOOKED.
The fire only emphasizes the need of
q new station in that particular district.
1t is impossible for the nearest COM
pany to reach the district in less thar
10 minutes. AS yet the new fire alarm
system, which has been completed two
weeks. has not been used by those who

easier and quicker to summon the de
