POLICE CAPTURE
TWO BOY THIEVES
Attempt to Dispose of Stolen
Bicycle in Moline Leads to
Their Arrest

Two small boys, aged IL and re-
spectively, are being held by the local
police for a series of bicycle thefts,
for which a Mrs. Marx of Moline is
alleged to be responsible. The ar
rests were made by the Moline author
tiles yesterday afternoon. when Or
vile Ballard, 16O71a Second avenue,
this city, the elder of the two, at
tempted to dispose of stolen bicycle
to a second hand dealer George a.
McGulski, the other lad implicated,
was in company with Ballard at the
time.
Yesterday afternoon Ballard stole a
wheel which was standing in front OF
the Rock Island public library, which
had been left there by Eugene lines,
1920 Thirty-sixth street The youth.
full thieves took the wheel to Moline
and attempted to dispose of it. The
second hand dealer became suspicious
and required a written permit from
the boys parents before he would pur-
chase the wheel, for which 81 was
asked. Ballard left the place and re-
turned a few moments later with a
note, purported to be signed by his
mother.
In the meantime the Moline police
had been notified of the theft, and
the arrest followed. An investigation
developed that the note had been
signed by Mrs. Marx of Moline, who
was also taken into custody. The
woman denied ever having seen either
of the boys, and was dismissed for
lack of evidence, although the author
tiles believe the Moline woman to
have melted the thefts
AT headquarters the boys confessed
to the theft of a wheel Sunday night
which had been sold in Davenport
yesterday. Both offenders were turn.
ed over to the local police

ANSWER IN TRAIN
MATTER MONDAY
Officials of Rock Island Railroad
Give no Satisfaction to Com
mittee From Tri- Cities.
TWO CONFERENCES HELD
Claim Bureau Branch Has Been Losing
Proposition to the Company
for Long Time

Not until next Monday will it be
known, whether or not the Bureau
train on the Rock Island railroad will
be returned to run between Bureau
and the tri-cities and return each day,
as it did during the past summer.
Rock Island officials in Chicago will
notify the tri-city commercial clubs
Monday as to what they intend to do
in the matter.
The members of the local commit
tee who conferred with the officials
were F. ]. Danner, of the Davenport
Commercial club; Arthur G. Brown,
secretary of the Greater Moline club,
and William Carstens, secretary of the
Moline Retail Merchants association
The men returned last evening.
On Saturday morning the commit
tee and the Rock Island officials held
the first conference, at which time the
local men presented some strong ar
guments in favor of restoring the
train.
CONFER YESTERDAY.
Yesterday morning another confer
ence was held, Vice-president Sebas-
tian- and Passenger Traffic Manager
Allen talked to the members of the
committee, stating that the train had
been removed as per orders of Presi-
dent Nudge, as it was found that the
passenger did not pay. The officials
stated, however, that they had provid-
ed for stops at Tiskilwa, Sheffield and
Geneseo by other trains, so that the
traffic of the Bureau train would be
cared for.
The arguments presented by the
tri-city men were very strong and they
feel that the officials will give the mat
ter much attention and will consider
the case from every viewpoint before
they refuse to comply with the re-
quest.

often caused by functional disturb.
ances in the stomach. The stomach
fails to do the work required, the ap.

from lack OF nourishment Such a

TO BEAUTIFY RESERVOIR PARK.
Reservoir park. which is bounded
by Twenty-second street, Fourteenth
avenue, Twenty-fourth street and
Eighteenth avenue, will be beautifed
by the park board. Heretofore the
place has received but little atten-
ton, but in the future il will be con-
sidered one of the beauty spots of
the city. Plans viii soon be on foot
to install roads, benches, trees and
shrubs. The park board has had no juris-
diction heretofore, but will be given
power to proceed with the work of
making fine park Of the place.

which the city has acquired from the
Case estate, and the final payment
Of which will be made next June, is

will be added TO the place and one
of the big features is to be play
ground for the children.
The commissioners also stated
that they would approve of more
water to be used for the watering
of shrubbery, grass and for use in
the watering places in the various
parks. Denkman square will also re-
ceive more attention from the park
board
The meeting was called at the in
stance of the members of the park
board and the commissioners were
guests of the board. Dinner was
served at 6:15 O'Clock and the con-
ference was held following.
PRAISES PARK BOARD.
Mayor H. VI. Schriver praised the mem
bers OF the board for the successful
work which was only realized through
their untiring efforts and as the men,
bers get no remuneration for their
services, they certainly deserved the
praise.
While at present the board is handi-
capped by the lack of a great amount
of funds, in 1915 it will have more
money TO work with. A recent act OF
the legislature gives the park board
the use OF a three mill tax instead
of two mills, as at present The
amount received annually now is
1000, and the new law will give
the commissioners about $4,000.
