ROCK ISLAND IN
THREE DISTRICTS
5000 Miles of Track of Road
to Be Operated by Trio of
General Managers.
TO BE MANY PROMOTIONS
w. $. TinSman, A. l.. Sweet and w.
VI. Whitenton Named for the
Chief Positions.

A change of exceptional importance
in the organization of the operating
department of the Rock Island road
will become effective Feb l, when its
system will be subdivided into three
districts, with a general manager in
charge of each.
1t has been known for some time
that officials of the company were con-
sidering a plan of this kind and infor-
NAL announcement was made recent
ly that its territory has been divided
into north and south divisions, the di-
viding line being Caldwell, Kan. 1t
was given to the more elaborated
scheme of operation.
CHIEFS OF DISTRICT.
Under the new plan, W. F. Tinsman.
who has been general manager of the
whole system, will act as general man
ager Of the first district This terri
tory will embrace all mileage east of
the Missouri river, and also the line
from st. Joseph, Mo, to Horton, Kan.
A. E. Sweet, who has been assistant
to President II. L. Nudge, will De gen
eral manager of the second district,
with headquarters at Topeka, Kan.
This district includes all mileage west
of the Missouri river and north of
Caldwell. Kan, including the COM
pany's line between Kansas City and
ST. Louis.
OTHER PROMOTIONS TO COME.
". NJ. Whitenton will be in charge
as general manager in the third dis
trict. with headquarters at Fort
Worth, Texas. For some time Mr.
Whitentop has been general superin-
tendent in the company's southern dis
trict, with headquarters at Ell Reno,
Okla. The territory over which he will
be general manager embraces all mile
age south of Caldwell, Kan, and east
Of Tucumcari. y. NJ. The new ar
rangement will mean a number of pro-
motions in the personnel of the COM
pany's operating staff.
There will be a general superinten-
dent under each general manager and
a number of minor advances and shifts
also are scheduled.
WHY CHANGE WAS MADE.
"The proposed change means that
the company will split its mileage
three ways for the purpose of opera
tion," said an official of the company
yesterday. Heretofore Mr.. Tins
man has been general manager OF the
company's 5000 miles of road, and it
was thought that if two other general
managers were appointed the various
parts of the system would be given
closer personal attention.
There has been a tendency among
the big roads in the west to follow
this plan. Our neighbor, the Santa Fe,
for instance, has 10000 miles of line
and four general managers. This
means that each general manager has
$500 miles of line to take care Of

OLD ELITE THEATRE
MANAGER BANKRUPT
Norman Friedenwald Seeks Relief of
Law in Escaping Numerous
Liabilities.

Norman Friedenwald, who up I'M
til two years ago was manager of
the Elite theatre in this city, has fill
ed a petition in bankruptcy in the
United States district court in Pc
oria through his attorneys, Schriver
& Schriver. of this city. Frieden-
valid was in this city for number of
years and he left here owing a con-
siderable sum of money to different
creditors. His petition shows La
bilities amounting to S65, 900 and no
assets. The greater part of his la
bilities comes from his having leas-
ed the Barrymore theatre in Moline
for a term of 10 years. He gave it
up after yainly struggling for one
year to keep it going. The flessees
have a claim of many thousands of
dollars against him. About $4,000
of the liabilities, however, are bona
fide debts which he contracted and
failed to pay. Friedenwald is living
in Chicago now.

The Argus like the ideas expressed
in last nights Argus as to the essential
qualifications as to mayor or com
missioner under the new form of mu-
nicipal government that Rock Island
has determined 10 adopt. Honesty,
common sense and fairness are the
requisites, but | want to add just one
more qualification and that is efficien-
cy. | believe that a man who aspires
or is considered in connection with an
Office that pays from $4,000 to $500
year should not only be honest and
possessed of common sense and fair
ness, but should be efficient.

Waterloo has virtually won what it
was contending for. Given repre-
sentation in the meeting that con-
siders its case it will be left up to
President Tearney, provided the four
northern clubs sit tight and cause a
tie. Tearney can either rule the mo-
ton lost, which would be the fair
thing to do, or attempt to decide by
gavel rule, which would only pro-
long the fuss.
There is nothing in the league

break ties, and in matters of this
kind that the assumption of such
right would be resented. particular

shall require a majority of the league

FIRE CUTS AFOURTH
AVENUE TAILOR SHOP
j. =. Wallace Loses $1,000 in Stock
and FiXtures-Origin Is
Mystery.

Fire of mysterious origin which
was discovered shortly before 3
o'clock this afternoon an the c. o. d.
tailor shop at Fourth avenue near
Twenty-first street completely Quilted
the lower portion of the building
and damaged the upper stories. The
fire started in the rear and it is
possible that it was caused by a gas
oline explosion, for there was a guam
tity of gasoline in that part of the
building. No one was near at the
time, as far as can be learned, and
the fire had gained considerable
Roadway before the arrival of the
department J. p. Wallace, who con-
Quoted the tailor shop, estimates his
loss at $1,000, with no insurance.
The building, which is owned by
Mrs Benson of Moline, IS practically
destroyed. A. Wheatley, who hurried
into the building when the fire was
discovered, was slightly burned
about the face and head.
1t is only a year and half since
Mr. Wallace entered the business
here. Shortly before that time re
had conducted a photograph gallery.
and that. too, was destroyed by fire.

SLIPPED ONE OVER.

A year ago certain of the northern
magnates, foreseeing just such a con-
test as is now on, secured the enact
ment by the league of clause in
the constitution defining the league
as composed of eight clubs and pro-
viding that a majority of the eight
clubs must consent in order to val
idate certain acts, such as changing
the circuit. Furthermore, Waterloo
was voted in and was member of
the league at the time the contract
was entered into which bound the
city 10 vacate its franchise on re-
quest of a majority of the clubs and
this may have had some bearing upon
the case.
At any rate, the way is now open
to fight it out and Waterloo appears
to have a little better than an even
chance of remaining with us for an
other year.
