TRY TO ATTACK
VALIDITY OF LAW
Test of Commission Enactment
Threatened by Opponents
of a Change.
TO DEFEAT PEOPLES WILL
Local Supporters of New Form Are
Not in the Least Worried,
However.

Springfield, Jan. Especial THE
statement shat the commission form
bill did not properly pass the senate
does not show the basis for the claim
or alleged fault. The printed journals
of the two houses indicate on their
face that the bill was passed by both
the senate and the house. Briefly, both
houses passed the bill dealing with
this subject-house bill 43, and senate
bill %. Owing to differences . confer
ence was had. The result of the eN-
changes was that the senate finally re-
ceded from its amendments to the
house bill. II was in effect a substitu-
ton Of the senate for the house bill,
and the house bill was declared passed
by the president of the senate without
any amendments.
MAYOR RAISES QUESTION.
In a proclamation issued Saturday
declaring the result of the election on
the adoption Of the commission form
of government in Rock Island. Mayor
G. W. McCaskrin does not commit him
self on the constitutionality of the
enactment ny Tie 4CSlSidIulS dulHOIlL-
ing cities TO change their system of adj
ministration. The mayor says: This
proclamation is made conditioned upon
the validity of the enactment above re-
ferred 70, and if such enactment is
valid. the same is 10 be in full force
and effect in the city of Rock Island,
Ill; otherwise the same to be declared
null and void"
The mayor was asked IL he was 10
cause a test of the law made before
the courts. Il have information that
the law is TO be attacked in the
courts" the mayor said. by whom or
where | am not prepared to state at
this time. There is a serious question
as TO the validity of the law, and those
who might be disposedto be dissatisfied
with the proposed plan of government
have good grounds on which 10 appeal
to the courts against the legality Of
the legislative measure"
CLAIMS OF OPPONENTS.
The charge is set up that the com
mission form bill did not take a regu-
lar course before both houses of the
state assembly: thar It was rushed
through III iHe CLOSING hours or the
session. and that the process required
by the rules of the legislature was not
followed 10 the letter.
However, the supporters of the new
city government form are not in the
least exercised at the confusion that
those opposed TO a departure from the
old system are seeking to arouse in the
evident hope of gaining an estoppal or
der from the courts that will upset the
intent Of the people as expressed at
the polls. The motive of the politician
I'm attacking the law is manifest. for
if test is 10 be made ii will be in
spired by purely selfish reasons by
those who see in the new order of
things features that destroy the old
organization methods that made posi-
bic the success Of the plans of the self
seeker and restore TO the electorate
an independence of political action
that the supporters of the new law
take 10 be the hope of the cities OF the
future.

BURGLARS enter
TWO RESIDENCES
Homes Of Otto Miller and G. r.
Ringson Ransacked During
Absence of Families.
JEWELS, SILVERWARE GONE
Windows Pried Open and Curtains
Drawn to Conceal Operations
of Intruders.

The residences of Otto Miller, 1907
Fifteenth street, and c. r. Ringson,
1913 Fourteenth and a-half street, were
entered by burglars Saturday evening
and a number of articles of value
were stolen, principal among which
were gold rings, stick pins and silver
ware. At the Miller home. which ap-
parently was robbed first, the intrud-
ers made a thorough search. They
pried open a window on the rear porch
and after pulling down the shades so
as TO conceal their operations, they
hauled out dresser drawers all over
the house and even tore down one bed
in hunting for valuables. Seven rings,
six stick pins and numerous other
small articles were found to be miss
ing when the family returned. The
Ringson home was treated in much the
same manner. The swag there con-
sisted OF gold watch. a string of gold
beads and silverware. The members
Of the Ringson family were absent from
home when their house was entered.
The jobs have been reported to the po-
lice, but the burglars left no traces
behind them as to their identity and
there seems aittle hope of catching
them.
CAMPS ARE ROBBED.
The arrest of a youth giving his
name as Paul Davis has brought TO
light the fact that nearly all of the
many camps which are scattered along
the shores Of Rock river above and
below the Watch Tower have been bur-
glarized during the past week. Off
Ger Dennis Bennett arrested Davis
Saturday evening when he found him
on his way TO the Louis Ortell saloon
to sell pair of elk skin athletic shoes
The officer suspected that they had
been stolen and upon examination at
the station il was learned that the
shoes belonged to a member of the
Gitchee Ounce club. which owns a
bungalow on Big island. Davis claim
ed that he had been given the shoes
by a man named Mcmillan. An exam
nation az the club house by members
of the club shows that the shoes and
several other articles have disappeared
and a broken window shows that a
thief was at work. The same was
found to be true at other camps up
the river which were examined, al
though the booty in no case is very
valuable.

VANA[[ PROVOKES
 STORM AT MEETING

Washington, December 12.-The Rev. w. H. Vanall, rector of the Church of the Advent in Boston, and member of the national headquarters committee of the Anti Saloon league, brought out a storm of opposition today at the national con- vention of the league, when he demanded that committee report on charges against national league officers. The charges are said to have been circulated in all parts of the country by the Rev [. G. Robinson, former superintendent of the league in Missouri
 Despite the expressed opinion of many delegates that no attention should be paid to the Robinson charges, Dr. Vanall won his point and was named chairman of the committee of inquiry. The Rev. Mir. Robinson is editor of a publication, which repeatedly has charged Dr. P. A. Baker, rational superintendent of the organiza- ton; s. E. Nicholson, national executive superintendent and others with graft and other irregularities.
 Tn his annual report pr. Baker declared that if the present Congress refused 10 enact law forbidding the shipment of intoxicants into prohibition territory, the Anti-Saloon league would devote it's entire energies to the election of Congress that would
