MAKE NO CHANCES
Associated Charities Adopt a
New Constitution and
Series of Bylaws.
WILL HIRE A SECRETARY
Two Make Application for Position
and Executive Committee Is
Given Power TO Act.

At the meeting of the Associated
Charities organization, which was
held last evening in the Association
house, 637 Seventeenth street, the
amended constitution was adopted
as reported by the committee which
had in charge the redrafting of the
document. The changes reported
were few and will have little effect
on the character of the organization.
When the question of employing a
paid secretary to care for the work
was broached, a motion was put TO
leave the matter in the hands of the
executive committee with power to
act. This committee, which consists
of DR.. J. w. Stewart, president, Mrs.
G.. II. Sherwood, w. S. Parks and
Miss Dina Ramser, will consider the

VANDALS ACT IN
EMPIRE THEATRE
Wire Conduits Plugged for the
Purpose of Delaying Com
pletion of Building.
REWARD OF 500 OFFERED
Management Unable to Account for
Contemplate Trick-Opening
to BE Aug. %.

Vandalism, the motive for which is
unaccounted for. has resulted in an
offer of a reward of 500 by Manager
E. 7. Dolly of the Empire theatre for
the apprehension of the persons re-
sponsible for the execution of an act
last night manifestly purposed to delay
the completion OF the building accord
ing to plans. When the contractors
forces arrived at the building this
morning it was discovered that quanti-
ties Of japan and linseed oil had been
poured into the electrical wire con-
duits, the wiring not having yet been
put in place. Apparently the hope Of
the vandals was that the substances
would become hardened before the
trick was discovered. but, fortunately
for the management of the theatre,
there was an early discovery, and the
substances were Immediately removed.
Had they become hardened it would
have been necessary to have torn out
all the conduits, occasioning a delay
to the electrical contractor of perhaps
a week.
Manager Dolly is at a loss to under
SJanQ why any clJlZen SnOulQ desire TO
retard the progress of his improvement
or to infiict additional expense upon
him. Only two weeks ago an
egg was thrown against the
decorated ceiling of the house
at night. Mr.. Dolly hereafter
will have a watchman at the building
at night He stated today he would
pay 800 for the pointing out to him
of the individuals who performed the
contemplate trick of last night.
OPENING TO TAKE PLACE AUG. IS.
Manager Dolly, on his return from
Chicago today, announced that the En-
pire would be opened Aug. 2S. The
bills will run for a week. The house
will be booked by J. C. Matthews of
Chicago, and this is an assurance that
the bills will be as strong as those
furnished in any city the size of Rock
Island. Con Meenan, associated with
Mr.. Dolly for number of years in the
wholesale and retail cigar business,
has been appointed assistant manager
of the Empire.

PEOPLE PLEASED
WITHSTART MADE
Action of Improvement Board
in Ordering Twelfth Avenue
Paving Approved.
BEGINNING IS SMALL
Work Ordered Is Hardly q Drop in
the Bucket to That Which
Must Be Done.

People In general throughout the
city and especially those who have
the welfare OF Rock Island at heart,
were pleased by the announcement
made in The Argus last evening con-
corning the start which the board Of
local improvements has made on the
matter Of improving the streets of
the city by paving the unpaved por-
ttons and repaving some of the pres
ent thoroughfares. The start made
yesterday was not a very large one
considering the enormity Of the task
ahead of them, but it contained a
promise of immediate action and
that is what the people want.
At its meeting yesterday, the
board decided to pave Twelfth ave
nue. from Fifteenth to Seventeenth
street. This avenue lies on the
north side OF Long View park and
the improvement will be appreciat-
ed as 1t will greatly enhance the
beauty Of the park. AS it is now, 1t
hinders people from entering the
park in muddy weather.
BIGGER JOBS TO FOLLOW.
The paving of Twelfth avenue,
however. is but drop in the bucket
compared with the paving which
ought to be done and which the
board contemplates doing. At their
, adjourned meeting this week, it is
expected that they will make some
sort OF decision on the paving of
the down town thoroughfares, the
streets which need attention the
most and which have been neglected
for years back because of the enor-
nifty Of the task once it is taken up.
It remains for the present board Of
local improvements to grasp the bull
by the horns and take the measures.
that are necessary.
DON'T NEED MONEY.
While it is admitted that at pres
ent the finances of the city are in
such shape that there can be no
large outlay of money for improve
ments. this fact need have no bear
ing on the contemplated paving. The
expense TO the city will not have TO
be met for some years and by that
time the city's finances ought to be
in far better condition than they are
now. In the meantime, at any rate,
the preliminary work for the paving
can be taken care of and then when
the money is IN sight, there need be
no further delay. However, the
city's financial difficulties cannot be
held accountable for the lack OF paw
ing on certain much Travelled streets
and avenues in the residence dis
tricts. AS has been pointed out by
The Argus there are numerous

members of the Broadway Mems club
and class, most cordially commend
our board of education for the results
that have already been attained in the
manual training department of our
public schools, and we most cordially
endorse the plans that are now under
consideration by the board of educa-
ton with reference to enlarging and
extending the manual training work
and providing for its further develop
ment by the erection OF a suitable
manual training arts building. We
would earnestly urge the board Of edu-
cation to consider as favorably as pos
sible ways and means toward this re-
suit, and most sincerely hope that
these plans may be pushed through TO
a successful conclusion.

which do not call for the outlay of
a single cent by the city. These
streets could be taken care Of at
once if the board sees fit, and it is
expected to take some action along
that line yet this week. At any rate,
the citizens hope they will for the
question Of paving is becoming an
all absorbing one

last evening and both are considered
as likely candidates. The former has
had considerable experience along
charity work as secretary of the Tri-

while he is thought to be competent,
has had no experience in the work.
HUMANE OFFICER RESIGNS.
The Office of secretary of the AS
sociated Charities will probably be
combined with that of the Rock Is
land County Humane society. George
Gilman, who has held that position
for more than year, has resigned
and the society is in need Of an Of
ficer. At the meeting next Monday
the Humane society will consider
the matter of uniting with the other
organization in the employment of an
officer.
Miss Dina Ramser is secretary OF
the Associated Charities at present
and has been for years. other du-
ties, however. have compelled her to
drop the work, though she will still
continue to serve the organization in
an unofficial capacity.

CITIZENS APPROVE
Plan of Commission on Special
Election Expenses Meets
With Appreciation.
CORPORATIONS SHOULD PAY
They Are Ones That Are Most Inter-
ested in the Taking of Vote
on Their Propositions.

On every hand, citizens have ex-
pressed themselves in favor of the
plan of the municipal commission
as stated in The Argus last
evening to the effect that the ex-
penses of the proposed special cleo
tions which appear about to be fore
ed upon the city, ought to be born
by the corporations which are di-
reCtly interested in the result of the
vote of the people. 1t would be very
unfair to the city and the taxpayers
for certain interested people to make
necessary an outlay of from $4,000
to $500, merely to force the peo-
pie to give expression on a subject
which is already sore one. Wheth-
er or not the people want a third
telephone in the field or whether they
want just one line is undoubtedly
for them to decide, but as long as
the Representatives of the people
have taken care of the matter, it
seems unfair for the corporations TO
make the people pay for the privi-
lege of overruling or legislating for

SHOULD APPLY TO ALL.

However, the treatment that is
accorded to one corporation in this
regard should be applied to all with
out favor. If the proposition comes
before the voters to approve or dis
approve the recent ordinance passed
whereby the Union Electric company
was given permission to sell to the
Central Union, then one of these two
corporations should pay the expenses
that will accrue from such an elec-
ton Again if the granting of a
franchise to a third company is TAX
en- before the voters OF Rock Island,
it is only fair that the corporation
which seeks the franchise from the
voters should pay for the taking of
the vote.
Consistency demands that the
same treatment be accorded to all
and fairness to the voters requires
the corporations to pay the bills.
