BATTLE SCENES
ARE REPRODUCED
Local Greeks Quaff From Flow,
ing Bowl and Stage Nina
tUre Balkan War.

Waxing patriotic through long and
copious draughts from the flowing
taakard, three Greeks yesterday after
noon decided to enact again excerpts
from famous battle scenes of the Balk-
an war. They armed themselves with
revolvers, and sighting the enemy's
lines in the freight yards at First
avenue and Thirteenth street, made
a brave charge, manning eight or ten
box cars.
Frightened neighbors thought there
was a Sioux Indian massacre in prog
ress and telephOned to the police sta
ton for aid. Vincent Murphy re-
sponded nobly, but seeing that he was
unable to cope with the situation sin
gle handed, called for the patrol wag-
on. Officer Johnson was soon on the
battle field, and the brunette war

This morning lines were melted out
as follows: Steve Lemuey, SO and

Tony Chaley, 81 and costs. The first

paigns within the confines of the

HAPPILY SETTLED
Carpenters Strike Declared OFF
Late Saturday Afternoon
Concessions Made.

The tri-city carpenters strike which
has been in force since last Thursday,
was called off late Saturday afternoon
after a three-hour conference of Jour
neymen and master builders, conces-
sions being made on both sides. The
carpenters demanded a wage increase
from 50 cents to 55 cents, a compro-
mise being effected at 531a cents. The
mel also made concession on the
supply proposition. The men demand
ed that the master builders purchase
none but union made materials, while
the builders fought to retain for them
selves the right to buy when and
where they pleased The men waived
their objections and agreed to use
whatever materials are furnished
them.
Representative of both sides are
said to well satisfied with the agree
ment. Some of the carpenters regis
tered a protest, claiming that the com
mittee went beyond it's limitations in
making the aforementioned agree
ment, but inasmuch as the articles
are signed, there is little fear of fur
TIER dissension.

Elks Mail Attractive Poster to
All Lodges in State-Is
Neat Bit of Work.

The convention publicity of the To-
cal lodge of EIks has issued another
poster of the series to boom the state
convention which will be held in Rock
Island, June 3, and 5. Yesterday
copies were mailed to every lodge in
Illinois. The latest bulletin is done
in purple and white.
The local committee suggests that
various lodges close together cores
pond to ascertain which organizations
will come to Rock Island over the
same railroad, and that where two or
three locals Will take the same route,
that they charter a special train, being
able to come and to return as desired.
How Bill Tomorrow Changed His
Name" is the title of a little story
which is used on the poster and repro
duced herewith:
This is the story of Bill Tomorrow,
an Elk in good standing, who never
attended a state convention of the
Illinois Elks. Every year an effort
was made to persuade Bill to go along
with the boys, but he always thought
he could not spare the time and mon
ey for the trip. When the convention
was over and he sat around the club
with some of the fellows that had been
there he heard many tales of the good
times they had, and always made up
times they had; and always made up his
mind that the nextyear he would attend
it was the same old story-Mr Tomor-
row couldn't spare the time-he would
go next year.
Finally, one year Bill had a vaca-
! ton at the time of the convention
and the boys made him go along. He
/ had the time of his life, and his only
regret was that he had missed SO
many previous conventions.
! From that time he has always man.
( aged to arrange his work so that he
could get off for the big gathering
and ne hasn't missed a state conyen
I ton since.
His name is now Bill Today.
Why did he change? There must
! be a good reason. Come to the bis
convention to be held at Rock Island
June 3, 4 and 5 this year, and you will
soon learn why Bill changed his name
Don't put it OF another year. Come
now.

ELKS ADOPT PLAN
FOR DECORATION
Illuminated Trellises to Be Con-
structed on All Down Town
Thoroughfares.

The Elks' convention committee has
evolved a uniform system of street
decoration. which will be handled by
the lodge itself. From each telephone
pole out to the circuit breaker on
each side of the trolley wires will be
constructed a lattice work of white
strips. Intertwined betwe cen the inter
stices of the tSeIlis will be green foli-
age and purple wistarias. Numerous
miniature purple and white electric
bulbs will be scattered over the trel-
Uses at various places. The flowers
and foliage will be indestructible.
1t was at first decided to have an
Elk committee decorate every bust
ness house, the various merchants to
pay the actual cost but this has been
abandoned. Secretary J. J. Hasley
has been appointed by the lodge to
visit the various business men and
take their orders for decorations
needed, which will be sold at cost.
Each merchant will then decorate his
own building as he sees fit. 1t was
the general belief that the work of
decorating every business house would
be too great task for the Elk lodge,
and that considerable dissatisfaction
might arise from this method, in the
event of one merchant believing that
another place had been more attrac
| lively decorated than his own. Each
firm has its own decorators and win
| dow trimmers, who are familiar with
| individual conditions, and the new
plan will be more advantageous to all
! concerned, according to the commit

Sheriff O. L. Bruner. under indict.

despite the fact that three physicians
appointed by the court at the last
term reported that the sheriff, with
proper care. should be able to be pres

date.
1t was represented that the sheriff
was still unable to leave his house as
a result OF the accident which has
physically incapacitated him for some
time
DR.. ]. c. Souders, who regularly at
tends him, and DR.. G. l. Eyster, who
was called in consultation, both were
in court this afternoon and testified
for the third time to substantially the
same condition on the part of the sher-
if. Both asserted that his liver and
possibly other organs seemed to be
affected and that, in their opinion,
it would jeopardise his health and
possibly his life if he were brought
into court now.

dition during the last 60 days and it
was doubtful if there would be much
change during the next 60 days.

Both physicians, asked if in their

All were subpoenaed by the states
attorney this morning, the papers be-

The purpose was to draw out an
alleged assertion on the part of the
sheriff to the committee, which visited
him at st. Anthony's hospital during
| November to the effect that he in
tended to be sheriff for his full term,
the inference being that he intended
to keep cut of court. Despite strenu
Gus objections on the part of C. e.
DietG, Mr. Burners attorney, such
statement was secured from the wit
nesses. The effect of this, however
was offset to some extent by the as
sertion OF Chairman Richmond that

to get about in a few weeks to chase
