Permanent ganization.-Pending
appointment next Tuesday evening by
the Moline club of six members of the
Greater Moline committee, the com
mittee as temporarily formulated was
unable to take up at its meeting yes
terday the matter of permanent organ
i,;ation on to definitely arrange there
fore. 1t is expected that the IS men
appointed by the Retail Merchants as
sociation, the manufacturers and the
Moline club will be present, and the
men who have launched the plan will
| turn the whole plan over to them. Ac-
cording to the plan already outlined
these Is men are to appoint IL others.
If these are appointed in time, then
the work of permanent organization
can be taken up next Friday. Or at
least committee can be appointed on
constitution and bylaws. There was
some discussion at yesterdays meet
ing of the adyisability OF limiting
membership on the committee to 81
| members, including the mayor The
| consensus of opinion seemed to be
that this would be a matter that
| ought to be left to the committee of
| 81 when organised. 1t was explained
| by Mr.. Lourie that in Davenport the
Greater Davenport committee is limit
ed to so members.
Trouble With Patient-George KEN
meriing, city health officer, and Dr.
Perry Vessel, city physician, are not
| finding path of roses in the fulfill
ment of their duties in connection with
the stamping out of Moline's smallpox
epidemic. Another case developed yes
terday and in q place which made It
! peculiarly difficult for the health au-
thorities. The case is that of young
Lithuanian, who has been in this
country only five months and is un-
able to speak word of English, much
less understand the legal restrictions
governing the handling of smallpox.
AS a result the officers found it nee
essary to use force to remove him to
the pest house.
! Fire Limit decentralization of
extending the fire limits west of Sew
enth street on Fourth avenue will be
brought before the city commission at
an early meeting, as result of in
formal conferences that have been
held recently between some of the
residents in that section of the city
and certain of the commissioners.
Since that section of the city is build
ing up fast, residents wish to decrease
| the fire hazard that the construction
of additional frame buildings would
bring.
Fined 500 and Costs.-After a night
of intoxication during which he enter
ed a restaurant owned by Victor
Phelps, known as Vic's place, on
Fourth avenue, near Fifteenth street,
and raised disturbance by throwing
the crockery around, Charles Gossel-
ski, a young Russian, was fined 800
and costs in justice court yesterday
The Russian entered the restaurant and
ordered meal, asking for a certain
brand of sauce. Al Stevenson, then in
charge, explained that there was none
in the place but Gossolski insisted
that he be given some. Explanation
did no good and he finally became an
gered, picked up a heavy glass bowl,
weighing several pounds and hurled
1t at Stevenson's head. Fortunately
his aim was bad, and the bowl crash
ed against the wall, but Stevenson re-
: fused TO take any more chances and
. called the police. TOO much drunk"
was Gossolski's explanation. Tween
: ty days to sober up" was Justice
. Fred Entrikin's reply.
