PROSPEROUS YEAR
FOR ROCK ISLAND

That Rock Island has seen much
building this year is shown by the
fact that 1913 water permits have been
issued since May l by Commissioner
Jonas Bear This means that practi-
caIly that many new buildings have
been started or completed thus far
this summer. This is far from an I'M
satisfactory showing.

A DYED BEARD.
1t Probably Changed the History of the
Whole Human Race

The most striking case in history OF
the Importance of trities is furnished
by the story Of Musa, the leader Of
the Moslem host which won from
Christendom in three and half years
dominions which it took the soldiers OF
the cross twenty generations to win
back. He had a red beard. This was
a tribe.
Musa, though a very great general,
was very vain man. and he dyed his
beard black. This was another trifie.
One OF his captains chaffed him on the
subject. and Musa forthwith had him
stripped and scourged. For this. at
the very height OF his conquering ca
reer, Musa was recalled by the caliph
and disgTaced. This made II impossi-
bic for him 10 command the Moslem
army at the battle Of Tours. on the is

Animals That Are ALWAYS Enemies.

Many animals are born with an in
herent antipathy for other animals.
The excessive fear shown by young
rabbits which for the first time smell Il
ferret and OF young turkeys which
hear the shrill cry of a hawk they
have never heard or seen before are
proved examples of the strength Of
these instructive antipathies. But the
case of the weasel and rat Is. perhaps.
more TO be noticed because of the
greater equality OF the antagonists.
The feud is so bitter that a meeting be-
tween them almost certainly means
death to one or both. Friendships are
not uncommon between the cat and dog
and have been known between a dog
and wolf. but the mutual attitude OF
the weasel and rat is invariably war
war that is waged TO the death.

PEKING


PEKING, China, Feb 29.--This city
Is In the throcs of a minor revolution
of its own. The soldiers of Yuan Shih
Kai have mutinicd and are burning
and looting right and lett in the
streets. Many natives have been kill
ed already. and 1t Is believed that
more will be murdered before the mu-
tineers are brought to book.
The trouble started when It became
generally known that tho former pre-
mier intended to obey the mandate Of
the national assembly at Ranking and
go south to attend the sessions there.
The outbreak was, II Is said, spOnta-
neuus as the troops bitterly opposed
Yuan's move from the old capital.
They broke into the streets shoot
ing. shouting and burning The po-
lice Joined forces with them at once
and left the city defcnscless. Demands
made upon Shih Kai that he remain
here are met with assertion that the
command of the assembly must bc
obeycd at once. The situation Is
growing worse, although foreigners
have as yet been unmolested.

was a wonderful collection Of pro-
grammes which the lieder singer has
presenting in Germany and her
native Holland. Many of these pro-
grammes will be sung by Madame
Culp on her forthcoming tour of Amer
lea, her first visit to the new world.
Several of the Culp programmes are
devoted to three composers, Schubert,
Schumann and Brahms; others show
a blending of the classical and modern
songs in which there stand groups OF
Richard Strauss, Hugo Wolf and Erich
Wolff. The Culp programmes include
the favorites of these composers, that
is, the favorites known to this coun-
try, but there are also lieder less
known on this side of the Atlantic
which are very beautiful and will add
to the educational advantage of resi-
dent singers and students of singing.
Concerning Julia Culp, one of the
prominent Berlin music critics rece 1T
ly stated that the art Of this woman
"overwhelms one by it's magnetism
and dramatic fervor. Were her voice
less beautiful than it is, Culp would
still be counted one of the remarkable
singers of this epoch. She has a rich
and colorful mezzo soprano voice, and
her intelligence and that spiritual
quality which the Germans describe as
'innigkeit,' render her an artist that
leaves no longing unfuIfilled."
Germany and Holland, however, are
not the only countries that have hailed
Julia Culp as a gifted artist. Scot
land and England have heard her and
added their sincere tributes to hei
greatness.

REQUIRE PILOTS EXAM.
Motor Boat Operators Notified They
Must Appear Before Board Of
Examiners at Dubuque.

The motor boat owners on the Red
river who have been carrying excur-
sion parties several miles up the
stream, have been notified that in order
to comply with the navigation laws
and obtain a pilots license they must
appear before the board of pilot ex-
aminers at Dubuque, Ia, for an exam
nation in regard to. their fitness to
navigate a vessel.
Naturally the boat wner are great
ly concerned over this rule and will
perhaps take steps in the matter to
protect their rights rather than enter
into such details in operating their
little crafts on the Red river, which
they say yield them not more than
5000 throughout the whole season.
It is possible a meeting of the motor
boat owners may be called in the near
future to file a protest with the de-
partment of m and labor
against the co~nfscation of their prop

MAYOR TALKS ON
POLICE MATTERS
HIS HONOR EXPLAINS WHY
THERE ARE MANY ARRESTS
AND FEW coNvlcTloNs-ALso
THINKS EXTRA MEN in STA
TON BETTER THAN in WARDS.

Just SO long as the state laws are
SO stringent in regard to the cases
that some before the police magistrate
just SO long win people be arrested,
only to be discharged Is what Mayor
Sweet said this morning to The For
um.
The trouble is not with either the
police or the police magistrate con-
many people remarked on the fact that
there are scores of people arrested
and very few punished. The fact OF
the matter is that 1t requires virtually
the same evidence to convict a man
OF an offenfes punishable by a fine of
So, as to convict him of a felony, so
you a see how 1t is. The police
judge demands the evidence to be con-
elusive in each case and he can use
no discretionary powers, and he is
right in the law. / don't know how
this could be ~rernedied, but there
should be some IA OF doing so.
The police get discouraged when they
bring a man to the lookup who in their
Judgment needs arresting for some of
Tense and see him turned loose, be-
cause the evidence won't justify. 1t
isn't the fault of the judge, 1t is the
fault OF the Law.
There's another thing. The council
last night decided to put on ave adj
ditional policemen in the city. In my
opinion 1t would have been better to
have put on two or three and have
these two or three constantly at the
police station with bicycles where
they could make a quick run to any
point in the city inside of ave minutes
in case of a. call.
Il am inclined to believe that Ave
policemen scattered over the outlying
districts will not afford much police
protection, for when a policeman
might be at n end of the ward a
half a dozen b~urglaries or other
crimes might be taking place at some
other point in the same district. / be-
neve the two o. three men at the POI
lice station where they could be had
by telephone at a moments notice
would, have been much better,
i think the city just now is fairly
well protected. There have been few
cases of holdups this season, fewer I
am told than usual, but there appears
to be a scare all over the city for
on reason or other

when the regular work of the schools
