COUNCIL DENIES
new CAR LINETO
THIRD AVENUE
Mayors Proposition to Reroute
the Long View Is Lost by
8 to 2 Vote.
HART FAV0RS THE PLAN
Substitute Motion by Rudsren to Table
Matter Is Carried by Aid Of
Reynolds and Bear.

The rerouting of street cars so as
to provide additional transportation
facilities for Third avenue was forced
to an issue yesterday afternoon at
the weekly council meeting when MAY.
or H. NJ. Schriver introduced a resolu-
ton calling for a rearrangement of
the Long View line, SO as to have il
run both on Second and Third avenues
The result of the vote was three to
two in favor Of letting the lines as
they now are and ignoring the claims
of Third avenue. Mayor Schriver's
resolution was seconded by Com
missioner Hart and thereupon Com
missioner Rudgren moved to lay the
matter on the table-which virtual
ly means killing it. The vote on
the substitute motion was: Ayes-Rud-
gren, Reynolds and Bear; nays
Schriver and Hart. No discussion &C
companied the matter, all the COM
missioners having long since made up
their minds how they would vote when
1t came TO a show down.
PLAN TO SHOCK PAVING.
The action q tina council may re
sult il the putting forth of additional
efforts on the part of property owners
against the repaving OF the avenue.
At least such was the threat of one of
them yesterday, wheG appraised of the
commissions attitude. He said IF
Third avenue is TO be kept a back
street through lack of car lines, then
| for one am unwilling to go to the
expense of repaving. A back street
does not need new and modern paw
ing. For my part l will fight it and
/ ! think there are others who feel the
same way Had we been given a car
1 line or two, we would have shown our
appreciation by aiding in the paving.
Mayor Schriver said that he knew
or suspected what the vote of the
commission would be and that he had
! forced the matter to an issue so that
the paving would no longer hinge on
car lines Tt is my intention to &c
] bSlOiC NlAC LII VI POOPACB NSAi
| them that / have done all in my
power TO get what they wanted, have
/ failed, and now believe that it is UP
/ to them TO withdraw their objections
| to the paving. The street is in dire
need of new paving and the work
should be delayed no longer. The Tri
/ City Railway company is to lay double
tracks along the avenue and the cal
routing proposition can be handled
more easily when next 1t comes up as
II is sure TO do in the future"
The mayors plan Of rerouting the
Long View was to have 1t enter Sec
, ond avenue from east and west as il
does no, but to turn south on Seven
/ teenth and return TO its present route
by way of Third avenue.
MINOR BUSINESS MATTERS.
The regular business of the council
consisted of hearing a few directors
to various paving matters; the dis
cussion Of relief measures for Twenty
eighth street between Eighth-and-a
/ half and Ninth avenues. where
steep grade exists; the allowing ot
/ the payroll for the week amounting
in all TO Stills and the passing OF
two paving ordinances, Eleventh street
and Eighteenth avenue.

AN ASSOCIATION
Enthusiastic and Well Attended
Meeting Held at Myers OPP
teal Company Store.

over 40 chicken fanciers, the ma
3ority from Rock Island and a few
visitors from Davenport, gathered at
toe o. NJ. Myers Optical company
store room last night and organized
what for the time at least will be
Known as the "Island City Fanciers
association" It's hope and purpose is
to promate a tri-city organization
which will result in the holding Of
poultry shows here that will rank with
the best in the central west Wylie
II. Kelley served as temporary chair
man in getting the meeting organized
and this was accomplished by the cleo
ton of the following officers:
President-O. VI. Myers.
Vice President-Arthur Bourdeau.
Secretary-Wylie II. Kelley.
Treasurer-R r. Reddig.
superintendent. l.. W. Kolloff.

Ter X. v Winters, Archie Hart, George
Hardy Il. A. Temple and r. D. Mac
Nanus.
HOPE FOR CONSOLIDATION.
In organizing, It is the hope of the
local poultrymen that a consolidation
With the Davenport fanciers and the
Moline organization can be effected so
a. to make the association a tri-city
affair.
Discussion which preceded the or
SANITATION Of the Island City Fanciers'
association brought out the fact that
there is more or less dissatisfaction
among the members OF both the Dav.
export and the Moline clubs. The
former is a stock company and the
stock has gotten into the hands of a
very few who control he organization,
thereby leaving the main body of
chicken raisers and fanciers out in the
cold. In Moline there is plenty OF
enthusiasm as the club is only year
old. but financial difficulties have al.
ready arisen which seem TO forecast
the doom OF the club. II was pointed
out N last nights meeting that no club
representing a single one Of the three
C'tics can hope to escape financial
reefs and that prizes won in a small
show are OF no particular value to a
breeder or owner OF fancy chickens
] was further pointed out that unless
the association which II was proposed
L. organize would be broad enough to
take in all the fanciers OF the three
cities and TO attract those from the
surrounding territory as well, that
there would be no need for the or
Eanization. These facts were generally
admitted.
OUT FOR A DIG SHOW.
Approaching this. the new organiza
ton will first endeavor TO make itself
trl-city affair and will then go out
for a real poultry show, the like Of
which has never been seen here before

New Liaht on EIectricity.


An American observer has called at
tention to curious property of an
electric current in that when passing
around sharp corner 1t apparently
projects discharge along its original
line Of motion.
In Germany the same phenomenon
has also been observed. and now an
other authority advances the notion
that it is evidence of the existence of a
true electric momentum, resembling
1snat Of water flowing In a pipe. Fara-
day had thought OF the possibility Of
such a thing. but his experiments led
him to conclude against its existence.
Clerk Maxwell afterward raised the
question again and also decided It in
the negative. But It has lately been
pointed out that the phenomenon Is In
accord with the most recent theory Of
the atomic nature Of electricity. which
had not been worked out in Maxwell's
day At any rate. it is said, there is
here newly acquired fact about cleo
tricity. whatever the ultimate explana-
tion Of it may be- Chicago Record
