2. Aslop not long ago she assured
her friends that wife could be happy
and have real good time, no matter
how old Fer husband happened to be.
If there were any who doubted her
then they are ready to agree now
that she was right. Mrs. Aslop has
just returned from abroad, where she
spent two or three months without
her husband. Besides having a per
fecuy lovely time in Europe, it is
agreed by the officers and stewards
Of the ship on which she returned
that her ocean voyage didn't have a
single dull minute.
The party with which she travelled
way a gay one. Cigarettes and cham
payne, enough Of the latter to have
extinguished other fires than those
OF thirst, provided the principal
amusements OF the party in the
smokeroom, with hilarious laughter,
conversation and solo dancing. So
lavishly did Mrs. Aslop entertain that
she spent her travelling allowance,
and was obliged to give a diamond
ring to the chief steward as security
for her champagne check.
Mr.. Aslop met his bride at the pier.
She was smoking a cigaret. He ap-
parently administered a mild Gliding
to her. Then she cried softly, and
they took a little walk together.
AS soon as his back was turned
however. she started to dance, thus
showing again that it is possible for
a young person to be happy, even
though married to an aged million
aire.

Regarding his order he said today,
Every day from now until Christmas

and there will be a consequent in.
crease In the danger to life and limb.
Care and prudence and strict obser-
vance Of the traffic rules will obvi-
ate many accidents and possibly save
some lives. There will be no disposi-
ton on the part Of the police depart
ment 10 prosecute, but there will be
n strict enforcement of the ordinances,
especially the section which makes it
a misdemeanor to drive any sort Of a
vehicle between a street car which is
about TO load or discharge passengers,
and the curbing Violators of this or
dinance will have TO stand trial
"Autoists or others who leave their
machines or rigs on the wrong side Of
the street or facing in the wrong d.
rection, will be apprised OF their mis-
take and ordered not TO repeat It..
There viii also be a determined eff.
fort made 10 stop the cutting of cor
ners. and the other little practices
which add TO the danger OF accidents
on the streets OF city.
Some OF the most frequent viola
tons OF the law are passing between
street car and curb, driving on wrong
side Of street, turning In wrong direc-
ton. leaving machines facing wrong
way, cutting corners at full speed, GO
ing around corners on left hand side.
and the noisy footing OF horns to
Brighten rather than warn pedestrians.
These are the practices which have
ordered the police to stop"

YOUTHS HELD FOR
Theft OF AN AUTO
Authorities Believe Lads May
Be Implicated in Various
Other Robberies.
HEARING THIS AFTERNOON
Many Under Arrest Come Of PromI
nent Families and Names
Are Withheld.

With the arrest last night. Of six
boys, ranging in age from u to 81
years, alleged to have been implicated
in the theft Of the Rosenfield automo-
bile, the police believe they have run
to earth the source Of various robber-
les which have been committed in this
vicinity for some time past The in
generation Of the boys followed an ex-
tended investigation by the authorities,
following the theft of the automobile
election night, the abandoned car be-
ing found several blocks from the place
where it was stolen. The hearing of
the lads was scheduled for 4 o'clock
this afternoon in the police court The
names OF the parties have been with
held, owing to the fact that a number
Of them come from prominent fam
lilies.
ORGANIZED BAND.
Another burglary in Rock Island last
night and two in Moline strengthens
the belief that an organized gang of
plunderers is at work hereabouts.
With the last three jobs, there is a
total of 13 burglaries in the course OF
one week. Eight of these were in Rock
Island, three in Milan and the last two
in Moline. In Davenport it is of al
most nightly occurrence for various
places to be entered by thieves, and
the three cities are in an uproar as a
result.
NEGROES SUSPECTED.
Last night, during the absence of the
family, burglars visited the residence
of S. c. Coleman, SIS Twelfth street,
Rock Island, ransacking the house
completely. Various articles of slight
value were taken, including a 22-calibre
rife. Entrance was effected by means
of a pass key, the front door being
found wide open when the family re-
turned home at late hour. Neighbors
report having seen two negroes lurking
about the premises shortly after s
o'clock, and the work is thought to
have been done by them. In almost
every instance the robbers have en-
tered via the front doors Of places bur
glarized, pass key being used, which
would indicate that the same men are
making the depredations.
JEWELS TAKEN.
The Moline homes visited were those
of Fred Lundahl and D. B. Freeman,
located side by side at Sixth avenue
and Twenty-ffth street The Lundahls
were away all of yesterday until 9 at
night. On their return they found the
place had been ransacked. Knowing
that the Freemans were also away
from home, that place was visited, and
it was discovered that the burglars had
been there also. About $3.50 worth of
jewelry was secured in the two homes.
