CIVIC COMMITTEE
ASKS PUBLIC AID
Department of Woman's Club
Seeks Help in Reporting
Violations.

The street vigilance committee of
the civic department of the Woman's
club of Rock Island has asked the
publication of the following COM
munications relative to the reporting
of violations of the city ordinances:
Rock Island, Sept. %.
Editor The Argus: At recent
meeting of the civic department of
the WomaI's club of Rock Island, a
report was presented dealing with the
violation of city ordinances, partic-
ularly those enacted to promote clean
illness and sightliness of the city 1t
was shown that much confusion and
needless duplication of effort has been
caused by the manner in which com
plants have been presented and han
died
1t appears many persons are of the
opinion that the civic department of
the Woman's club was organized to
relieve the commissioners of much of
their labor in connection with the en-
forcement of sanitary laws and ordi-
that to report violation of city ordf-
nance to the civic department or It's
committees, releases them from fur
Their responsibility in the matter. The
civic department was not organized to
be a clearing house for divers and sun
dry complaints. The aim and object
of this department is to cooperate
ers for the betterment of civic condi-
tions in Rock Island and the civic de-
partment takes this opportunity to
ask the help of the public in the mat
ter, in that they report violations of
the ordinances first to the proper civil
authorities for action. We are assured
such requests will be given prompt
attention.
The mayor and the commissioners
have entered heartily into any sug.
geStions of the civic department for
the correction of abuses in Rock Is.
land, and in many instances have had
immediate attention given.
Now let the public in general and
the Womans club in particular con
Ilnue the SOOu HOTh Dy ndnOllHS THESE
matters in businesslike way.
The street vigilance committee OF
the civic department is at the service
of the public at all time. for the pro
motion of any measure for the ad
vancement of Rock Island and viii
gladly receive suggestions to this end
but as before stated, they ask that
the people first make use of their priv
| ilege as citizens to bring these matters
to the attention of the civil authorities
for action.
After that we are assumed if actor
| is not taken within a reasonable space
of time, we are privileged to go after
the commissioners hammer and tongs
and we viii not forget that assurance
| For the benefit of the general pub
! lie, we give again the members O.

these matters should be referred

ritory from the city of Rock Island
and annex the same to the city of Mo-
line, the result will be absolutely
legal"
SMALL CHANCE To CARRY.
Under such conditions it seems
hardly likely that any part of Rock
Island will be consigned to the keep
ing of Moline, at least till public senti-
ment experiences a radical change.
For while Moline undoubtedly would
consent and there may be bare posi-
bility that enough support could be
rallied to inaugurate the movement it
is inconceivable that any considerable
number of Rock Island voters would
vote yes" when such a proposition
came before them at the polls.

POLICE WORKING ON CASE
Men Gain Access Through Cellar and

Untouched.

Thieves last might entered the
Thomas drug store, 1880 Second ave-
nue., making a successful getaway with
approximately 500 worth of mer-
chandise. The establishment was thor
oughly ransacked, and tie men evil
IDENTITY took their time in rummaging
over the stock, sorting cut only the
best of everything. The police were
notified this morning and plain clothes
men are now working on the case.
An entrance was effected through
the cellar. The men crawled down into
the cellar way on the Seven. ,entk
street side of the building, pried off a
strip of sheet iron, which had been
nailed over the door, and thereby made
an aperture big enough to permit of
a man crawling through. Then mount.
ing the steps to the main floor, they
pried the hinges off wooden door
which separates the prescription de-
partment from the cellar, removed the
partition and were in the store proper.
Nothing was touched back of the pre-
scription counter.
TAKE ONLY BEST.
Back of the counter was a small
glass show case containing fountain
pens. This was pried open and Is of
the best pens removed, net value about
$35. Five safety razors, worth $40,
were taken from the top of a show
case, and 81 in cash was taken from
the register. Fred Burgert, who is
employed in the store, had left a pair
of eyeglasses back of the counter and
these were appropriated, entailing a
loss of SIS to the owner In addition
a quantity of cigars, chewing gum anC
candy was stolen and further inven-
tory may disclose other missing arti.
Giles.
The men were decidedly deliberate
in their actions, and upon finding the
fountain pen case took 1t back of the
prescription counter, and opened it by
the light from the door at the east side
of the room. This is covered with a
lattice at night, and does not permit
of anyone obtaining a view Of the in
