USED IN SCHOOLS
Examination Is Planned to Set al
Rest Those Who May Have Any
Fears in Matter.

Tests Of samples of the drinking
water used in the public schools are
to be made by L. 1. Birdsall, super
intendent of filtration of Rock Is
land. 1t is not because there is any
doubt as to the quality of the water
that the pupils drink, but to set at
ease the minds of those who drink it.
The fact that there is a very small
number Of contagious diseases in
Rock Island at present, is proof sui.
fcient that the new filter plant is
doing It's work capably. Weather
conditions have been anything but
conducive to the best health of late
and had the water been filled with
germs of any sort, disease would be
prevalent today.

SOLDIER BOYS ARE
ASSESSED A FINE
Get Intoxicated and Try to Smash
Up a Penny Gum Machine
on Corner.

Two little soldier boys from Rock
Island arsenal, Lauir Lepisto and
Sherman Anderson, sought to knock
a penny machine out of commission
last evening. Said machine was To-
Gated near the corner of Seventeenth
street and Third avenue. The sol.
der boys had been imbibing hop bev,
crages and were feeling good till the
machine offended them by refusing
to get out of their way. One OF
them hit it with a left swing, broke
it, but injured his hands at the
same time. Officers Herkert and Nc
Carthy, just leaving the station, saw
the incident and placed the fellows
under arrest. This morning each was
fined 81 and costs by Justice c. J.
Schroeder.

John Hanson was fined $50 and

PARENTS ENTER
FORMAL PROTEST
Appear Before School Board
and Ask Members to Re-
scind Recent Action.
AS TO EXPELLED PUPILS
Point Is Raised That Stigma Is
Placed Upon Those Who limo
Gently Enjoyed Feast

An effort was made by parents at
the meeting OF the board of education
last night TO induce the board to re-
consider the action taken Saturday
when IL students Of the high school
were expelled for participation in a
hamburger fest" in the gymnasium
Il the school when the school was sup
posed TO be closed for the night. Par
ents OF the expelled students together
with attorneys appeared before the
loard and lengthy discussion of the
Unfortunate incident followed. Nothing
came OF the conference. II is hoped.
however, that a Cancellation will be
effected which will be satisfactory to
10th the board and the parents.
As PARENTS SEE TT.
The punishment melted out by the
board is too severe in the estimation
Of the parents OF the six boys and FIVE
girls who were members Of the party
of 20 which met at the gymnasium
They admitted the need of punishment
of some sort, but raised the point that
the expulsion had cast reflections upon
their children's characters. That this
was not intended, the board members
FASTENED TO explain. and they were
quick TO voice their condemnation of
any stories which might be construed
IN a manner detrimental to the charac-
tiers of those who made up the party.
Nevertheless they we're not ready TO
rescind their action as a matter Of dis
cipline, and the meeting was not pro
cuctive Of results.

EXPLAINS HOW TO
SHIP EXPLOSIVES
F. B. McIlvaine Gives Inter
esting Lecture to Large
Audience.
USES THE STERE0PTlC0N
Throws Views on Screen Indicating
Right Way of Handling DAN
gerous Packages.

About $50 tri-city people were pres
ent at the Y. NJ. c. A. last night to
hear F. B. McIlvaine, one of the local
inspectors of the bureau of explosives
of the American Railway association,
deliver his lecture on the safe pack
ing and handling Of combustible and
explosive shipments.
Mr.. McIlvaine explained the law in
regard to the handling of explosives
and inf1ammable materials, and stated
that it was the aim of the bureau to
post both the shipper and the railway
employe on these laws, which were
passed by the Interstate Commerce
commission. The speaker stated that
the law requires that shipper prop
erly label all goods of an explosive
nature and pack same properly. This
done, it is then up to the railroad.
CITES AN INSTANCE.
Mr.. McIlvaine cited one instance of
the shipment of carload of rubber
cement, where the car was properly
labeled when it left the starting point,
but being transferred and switched
around at several functions, it arrived
at tts destination labeled only ice
ment" The car was entered at night
by men with lanterns and as some of
the rubber cement had leaked out,
there was a terrific explosion. An
other fact brought out was that when
an snploye of the railroad accepts a
shipment of this nature which is i'm
properly billed and any damage re-
suits, the individual employe is held
responsible and not the railroad COM
pany.
VIEWS ARE SHOWN.
Stereopticon views were shown
demonstrating right and wrong meth
DDS of packing combustibles, the right
and wrong ways of making ont ship
ping tickets, and also a number of
scenes of wrecks and explosions due
to negligence on the part Of some one
