TO FORCE COMPANY
TO HAUL AWAY SNOW

Because of the fact that the Tri-
city Railway company uses its large
sweepers to clear the car tracks in
Rock Island of snow, and because the
snow is heaped along the tracks on
both sides and allowed to remain
there, protest is to be fled with Off
Gals of the traffic corporation with the
object in view of forcing the company
to haul away the snow after they have
it thrown off of the tracks. Condi-
tions in Rock Island today are largely
responsible TO the fact that the COM
pany has Geft its snow along the
streets where it was thrown by the
sweepers. In Davenport, the company
is forced to haul the snow away from
the tracks and there is no reason why
any other condition should be tolerat.
ed in Rock Island. Commissioner Rey-
nolds has taken up the matter, and
though it is late for action, the com.
pany may be brought to time.

SUPREME BOARD HERE
FOR MARCH SESSION

Members of the supreme board of d.
rectors of the Royal Neighbors of
America are in session at the local
head office of the society, and accord
ing to DR.. Hada NJ. Burkhart this
morning, little outside of the routine
is TO come before the board. Still,
there is always the probability that
some important matters will develop,
and in view of the fact that nothing
but routine work has been transacted
in months, the directors are expecting
work out of the ordinary. The build
ing project, cast into the dim and dis
tant future last fall, is slated for con.
sideration soon, and it is probable that
it may be taken up at this-the March
session of the board.

OBJECTS TO 25C
EACH FOR SANDWICHES

Paul Morton, colored, walked into
the lunch room at the corner of Tween
ty-fourth street and Fifth avenue last
night with a companion, and because
the proprietor refused to dish up a
couple of sandwiches at less than two
bits apiece, Morton became abusive.
Officer Kinney was called and placed
Morton under arrest. Not desiring to
prosecute him, the proprietor of the
restaurant withdrew the charge this
morning. He stated that he did not
want any trouble with the man, but
that he preferred not to cater to him
in his restaurant and so put up pro-
hibitive price on the food that he de-
sired.

POLITICAL ADVERTISING
dean FRANKLIN ISA
GENERAL FAVORITE
BEING BACKED IN FINE STYLE
IN HIS CANDIDACY FOR
CONGRESS.
BIG MEN WORKING FOR HIM
Macomb journal Says That He Is a
Strong Candidate and the Sup
port He Is Getting Is
Surprising.

"There is one contest going on
that is being conducted on lines of
good political sense, and that is the
republican congressional fight. The
race Dean Franklin is making and
the manner in which republicans are
supporting him is most surprising
and gratifying. From present indi-
cations he will receive the largest
majority ever accorded a candidate
in this county under the primary sys-
TEN. Hancock county is backing him
in the finest kind of style, and men
of influence are out working for him
so that it seems a certainty that he
will leave that county with big plu-
rality. In Warren county he is a
general favorite, and it is conceded
that he will receive the most votes
there. Rock Island county has two
candidates and while Deans friends
concede them the county, yet he will
get some votes there, and in Mercer
! he is conceded as strong as any, with
| the result in doubt Henderson
county is claimed by all three candi-
dates, but he has as good a chance
as any of carrying it. McDonougf
county republicans should rally tC
| his support, as this county has the
opportunity now of securing the con
gresham from this district. Ma

turned to .Ginty his change-something
over $50. Ginty left the saloon at

per on which it was written, and the
police were notified. Ginty came to
the station yesterday morning, and

check. he said he knew nothing of it,
and that he did not sign it. Later the
chief learned that Ginty did sign it,
and Detective Caulfield was detailed to
arrest him. The arrest was made yes
