gallery for visitors surrounds the pool,
affording a place for spectators for
all kinds of water sports. The finish
of the pool and the room containing
it is to be especially fine, and when
comp eted it will be one of the best
natatoriums in the state.
The big gymnasium, with running
tracks and special visitors gallery, will
occupy one wing of the building on the
main floor, while the corresponding
space in the opposite wing will be
given over to the big lobby and game
rooms of the boys department.
An additional lobby, or lounge for
members is provided in the basement.
Here will be found a coy pace, with
a fireplace aid easy chairs, that will
convey a constant invitation to men
to sit down and rest and visit. The
games of various kinds for men will
be conveniently located in this sec
ton, and an office for an attendant
who will be constantly on duty Will
make a place for supervision.
The upper floors of the building are
largely devoted to rooms for men,
which promise to be a most popular
feature of the equipment provided.
On the second floor are spacious
rooms for class and club work, as
we'll as for banquet and meeting
halls. The third and fourth floors are
exclusively occupied with The bach
elor apartments" which will house
more than 100 young men.
MEANS MUCH TO CITY.
But the new building means vastly
more to Rock Island than merely the
equipment and the convenience of the
place. Ii will be the general head
quarters for all kinds OF religious and
social work in the city. 1t will be
the meeting place for organizations Of
al. sorts, which are in harmony with
the association ideals. 1t will become
a clearing house for the churches and
philanthropic agencies. In short, it
will be a center of beReficent infu-
ence that will radiats throughout the
community, helping not only the boys
and young men, but indirectly reach

Ask That Trains
Pass Up Midwife.

The executive department has been
flooded with kilograms from official
and private sources, concerning the
trouble in Burke, and is determined to
leave nothing undone that may in any
wise relieve the situation.
The railroad commission also has re-
ceived a number of kilograms asking
that trains passing through Midwife be
not allowed to stop in various nearby
towns, several of which have underta-
ken to quarantine against Midwife.
The matter. however, is within the
authority of the board of health, and
the railroad commission is powerless to
afford relief in the manner asked, were
it so disposed.
After twelve deaths of cerebro- spinal
meningitis within a week, the epidemic
which has been raging in Midwife,
Burke county, was finally being got
under control according to dispatches

VICE IS WORSE.
SAYS VAN DYKE

"Vice conditions in Atlanta are worse
today than they have ever been in the
history OF the city" was the declara-
ton made by Alderman A. H. Van
Dyke today.
. THE statement by Police Chief Beav-
ers that / told him I. in his place. would
not have had the nerve to close the
houses in our midst. is true" he
added. He made a mistake by closing
them.
Experts tell me that the welfare OF
the city is more seriously menaced than
it ever has been"
Alderman VanDyke said the problem
was most serious and that as a city
official he was not afraid to attempt a
solution of It in the open. He said he
was not ashamed to let his opinions be
known.
q The alderman said he was more and
more convinced that he was correct
when he characterized Chief Beavers -
Miss Nancy and an effeminate ia
matte.
Chief Beavers said he cared nothing
for Alderman VanDyke's fight on him.
He declared that the alderman was
quite militant when he was a member
of the police commission before he be-
came an alderman, but that his fights
availed him nothing. He added that he
felt no alarm because the alderman was
about to return to the commission as
an appointee Of Mayor Woodward.
Chief Beavers said he did not dis
turb the patients of the Battle Hill san o.
itarium on their straw ride
He said that a merchant in the At
lanta National Bank building notified
him that an unnecessary noise was be-
ing made downtown. He said that
Mayor Winn was complained to at the
same time.
Mayor winn called the police station.
he said, and spe ial squad of police
men was ordered up to Whitehall
street.
He declared that he passed the straw
riders as they were goir~ out Whitehall
street .@but that he didn't even stop his
automobile. They were gone before the
policemen reached Whitehall street. He
said ne saw Alderman VanDyke stand o.
ing on corner downtown, but found
no disturbance of the peace.
