PAYNE J0SHES HALVES
ANENT DOUBLE BIRTHDAY

This is another Of those pleasant
double birthday anniversaries in Rock
Island, being the natal days of Sen
ator William Payne and Major c.
w. Halves. The senator called at
The Argus Office today, as has been
his custom for years back on his
birthday to extend his good wishes
and receive the Fluctuations of the
occasion. In the course OF CONVEX
sation the senator casually inquired
il Major Halves had been around yet.
Receiving negative reply he
promptly observed, "of course not l
suppose he is getting too darned old
to come out doors on his birthday.
He is growing more touchy on that
subject as the years go by. If he was
as young as / am, he would be out
wading around through the slush
Just as l am today, extending the glad
hand and feeling happy that each
year bears more lightly on my Shout
ders than the one preceding"

TO MAKE PROTEST
AGAINST CHANCE

President H. E. Casteel of the Rock
Island club today named a committee
comprising Mayor H. NJ. Schriver, S.
w. Searle and Il. p. Simpson to con-
fer with officials of the Central Union
Telephone company relative to the
announced intention of that company
to move heads of certain departments
away from this city. The committee
is to protest and if possible prevent
the carrying out of the plan.
Beginning the first of this month,
the Central Union company put into
effect in Rock Island county a system
of specialization whereby instead OF
one general head and various sub.
heads, there are three heads TO as
many departments, each responsible to
the company. Under this plan the
commercial chief was to maintain his
Office in this city while the traffic and
plant chiefs would set up quarters in
another exchange.
The Rock Island club takes the
stand anything which is now here
should be kept here and with this end
in view the committee will protest
against the removal.

MASONIC TEMPLE
FUND IS GROWING

The Masonic Temple association
held an enthusiastic meeting last ev-
ening in the Office of H D. Mack, in
the Robinson building, and there was
an informal discussion of the progress
that is being made in the sale of bonds
by which the association is attempting
to raise $4,000 with which to build a
new Masonic temple ON the site al
ready owned by the association at Fifth
avenue and Eighteenth. street.
1t is the hope of the association to
close up the matter within the next
month or two. A considerable portion
of the necessary amount has been sub
scribed, and it is believed that the re-
mainder of the bonds can be disposed
of among the members of the associa-
ton, which will mean that no outsid-
ers will have any of the bonds
Tentative plans for the new temple
have been completed for some time
and practically everything is ready to
go ahead once the full amount of the
money is secured. The building will
be an excellent one, a credit to Rock
Island, and it is to be hoped that the
workers of the association will be sue
cessful in disposing of the remainder
Of the bonds

FARMER LOSES
HIS TIME-PlECE

Peter Johnson, farmer whose home
is back of Davenport, reported to the
police this morning that watch, val
ued at s. had been lifted from his
pocket some time this morning and
that he wanted an officer detailed to
aid him in the search for the miscreant
Who perpetrated the job. Accordingly
an officer was detailed on the case,
Davenport and Moline officers were no
titled, and Johnson was sent away. He
came back later, clamoring for his
watch and results. When he learned
that the watch had not been recovered,
he was put out considerably. Johnson
came over here yesterday and joined
fellow who had nothing to offer but So
ciability. Johnson bought several
drinks for his friend, missed few him
self. and then advanced the price of a
meal, He soon discovered after his
friend" left that his watch was gone.
HAS ONE LEFT.
Rather, It was only one OF his time
pieces. Another, valued at 81 was left
for him 10 tell the time of day. So
Pete was stung all the way around. II
he has to look much further for his
waterbury, he will be in fit condition
for a sleep in the police station.

REFUSES TO SIGN
ANTI-BOOZE PLEDGE

Bill Down had a job on the city
street gang last summer and about
week ago got hungry for some of that
"mulligan stew" served at the police
station TO those who give their valu-
able time to the city, gratis, with a
feed thrown in. At any rate, Bill felt
the need of some lubricants last Sun
day and he sojourned here from Viola,
his first visit to the city since he had
to work. He got the lubricant all
right and kept on adding to it till last
night when he was rushed to the Gala
boose. This morning when he was ar
raigned before the magistrate, he had
quite a fit of nervousness thrown in
with the rest of his makeup. He also
had button hook. When asked if he
would leave town, sign the pledge and
follow the straight and narrow, he
plead guilty to everything but giving
the high sign to the pledge. He refus-

CLUB TAKES HOLD
OF BOOSTER PLAN
Committee of Three Named to
Meet and Confer With
Business Men.
WILL CONSIDER PROJECT
Scheme to Boom Rock Island in
Systematic Way Grows More
Popular Each Day.

To work with a committee from the
Rock Island Business Mems associa-
ton on the project of starting a new
booster movement in Rock Island, the
following committee from the Rock
Island club has been named: H. E.
Casteel, Fred T. Myers, and j G..
Huntoon. The business men nan 4 II.
A. Clevenstine, NJ. H. Sexton, and A ].
Lindstrom as a committee, and the two
will get together and consider the
proposition made Monday night by
George B. Irving, the Chicago Munich
pal league man, who offered to come
here and organize the movement.
SCHEME IS POPULAR.
The unpalatable truths which Irving
told at the Monday night gathering
relative to lack of booster, booming
spirit in Rock Island has had a wide
effect and his remedy-organiza in
the shape of booster movement
grows more popular each day.
The city undoubtedly needs boosting
such as only a regularly constituted
body of boosters can give It. The bust
ness and professional men and the cit
liens in general must be brought to-
gether where they can put a united
shoulder to the wheel and aid in the
progress of Rock Island.
CUT OUT SMALL THINGS.
Without an organization bringing
them together with this end in view
petty jealousy and selfishness is bound
to keep the city from its fair share OF
growth and advancement.
The plan in which all will cooperate
involves the cutting out of the small
and spiteful things in a common effort
for broad and widening building Ut
| of the town.

POLICE ARE CALLED
TO SCENE OF FIGHT

Cries Of murder, accompanied with
vile explosives from the lips of a man,
went forth on the Silly air of the west
end section last night and aroused sew
eral people in the immediate vicinity
from their slumber. Some one who
did not care to make an investigation
for himself, called the police and sew
eral officers were hurried to the scene
Nary a soul who looked as though a
murder had been committed hove into
sight of the blue-coats who, after
searching the neighborhood, returned
to the station. People today state that
they want the police to see to it that
q quietus is put on such disturbances,
and that last nights affair was only
one of a large number of such that
have occurred recently.
