MATERIAL HERE
FOR AUTOMATIC
Phone Company Promises Early
Start on Installation of
It's Plant.

Apparently the Tri-CiJy Automatic
Home Telephone company means to
make good. Unloading of the first car
lood of material to be used in install
ing its plant here has been begun.
Officers of the company state that 40
miles of cable in the downtown part
of the city, with underground connec-
tons with Rock Island and East Mo-
line, will be laid. 1t is promised that
the plant will be in operation within a
year.
Last winter a franchise was voted to
the Automatic company, provision be-
ing made for the beginning of work
early in the spring Up to this time,
however, nothing has been done be-
yond canvassing for subscribers and
making a preliminary survey of the
city.
Franchises have been also voted the
company in Rock Island and Daven-
port, and application for rights in
East Moline and Silvis made last fall
has been renewed.

CHILD EATS PILLS
THROWN IN ALLEY
Two Year Old Daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Joe Spankunes
Near Death.
SAVED BY A PHYSICIAN
Medicine for Relief of Neuralgia Con-
tanned Quantity of
AcetaniIide.

Eating a number of pills she had
picked up in the alley nearly caused
the death at 7:30 Monday evening of
the 2-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Joe Spankunes, 1112 Fourth avenue.
The prompt use of an emetic admin
istered by a physician after the little
one had reached the verge of convul-
sions, saved her life. In the opinion
of the doctor the poisonous substance
which affected the child was acetanilide,
commonly used in headache powders.
How many of the pills the little girl
ate is not known. She was playing
alone in the alley when she found the
box containing them. Their pink os:or
attracted her eye and when she ate
one it tasted like candy.
KEPT THE BOX.
The first intimation her mother had
that anything was wrong came when
the child came to her and complained
of being sick. In her hand she still
clutched the box and this gave a clue
to the cause of the trouble No time
was lost in alling a physician, who
arrived none too soon.
According to the label on the box
containing the pills they were intended
for the relief of neuralgia.

HEAT AFFECTED
WEAKENED HEART
High Temperature Helps Bring
About Sudden Death of
G. Almlof.
CORONER HAS AN INQUEST
Funeral Will Be Held from the Home
Of the Daughter in Rock
Island.

Extreme heat was one OF the causes
of death of Gustav Almlof, aged 30,
who died Monday afternoon at 3
O'Clock at his home, 1917 Fourth ave
nue.. For two days he had complained
of suffering from the high tempera-
ture and finally, becoming alarmed, his
wife sent a message to her son-in- law
and daughter, Mr.. and Mrs. Bjorkman,
in Rock Island. They responded at
once and summoned a physician, who
arrived after death had taken place.
In the opinion of the physician Mr..
Almlofs heart had been weakened by
rheumatism, with which he had been
a sufferer for several years, and the
heat brought on the crisis. A jury
impaneled by Coroner Meyer returned
verdict of death from natural causes.
LONG WITH WAGON COMPANY.
Mr.. Almlof was born in Sweden
No p. 1870. He was married in the
mother country in 1870 to Miss Eva
Kajsa and in 1873 the family came
to Moline. For "a years Mr.. Almlof
was in the employ of the Moline
Wagon company.
Surviving are the widow and five
children, Carl, Albin and Herman, and
Mrs. Ellen Meyer of Moline and Mrs
Anna T. Bjorkman of Rock Island.
Funeral services will be held Wed
nesday afternoon at the home of Mrs
Bjorkman, 1926 Eighth avenue, Rock
Island. Rev. A. F. Bergstrom will off
Ciate and interment will he made in
Riverside cemetery.

The power of naming these two mem
bers gives to the board of mediation
its chief Importance.
The representatives of the opera
tives already had announced that they
would submit their claims for a wage
increase to arbitration under this bill.
The problem which faced the presi-
dent and his confreres at the White
house yesterday afternoon was to pro-
cure the enactment of the Newlands
bill in time to prevent the strike
which the operatives last week voted
to make.
1t was known at the beginning that
if this could be done there would be
no strike.
SETH Low OUTLINES SITUATION.
Seth Low, president of the National
Civic Federation, who had been instru-
mental in bringing the railroad heads
and labor leaders together, acted as
spokesman for both sides, relating to
the president the details of the legis-
lative situation that had arisen in the

The original beard of arbitration pro-
vided under that act was independent
of any government department, but
one of its membership commissioner
of labor-had since been included I'M
der the department of labor, where
his duties had been increased so that
only a portion of his time could be
given to labor disputes.
The bill introduced in the house by
Representative Clayton, chairman of
the judiciary committee, originally was
Identical with that introduced in the
senate by Senator NewIands, but had
been amended at the instance of Sec
rotary Wilson of the department of
labor.
AGREE ON NEWLASDs BILL
Secretary Wilson wished the arbi-
tration board to consist of nine men,

diction of his department.

PROPOSED TAX is
DISCRIMINATING
City Attorney Sees Flaw in New
Method of Raising City
Revenue.

Taxing wholesale liquor dealers and,
brewers according to the numbet Of
wagons used in the city delivery
would be discriminatory and therefore
unconstitutional in the opinion of City
Attorney James F. Johnston. At the
meeting of the city commission last
week a resolution was adopted .impos-
ing such tax, but in view of the prob
able difficulty Of enforcement it is
likely that such tax as is imposed will
be made certain sum annually for
each establishment The funds thus
secured will be used in improving the
fire and police departments.
