REYNOLDS ON THE JOB

Has the Tri-City Automatic Home
Telephone company a franchise in
Rock Island? That is the question
which is being generally discussed to-
day. following the refusal Of the city
commission yesterday afternoon to
grant them the right to tear up the
streets Of the city for the purpose of
beginning construction work.
Under the provisions of the fran
chtse which was voted the company
by the people, actual work OF Install
ing their plant here had to be started
within 80 days after the securing of
the last of the franchises in the tri-
cities Davenport was the last to
grant the company the right 70 do
business and last evening at midnight
was the last day of grace for the
company. Yesterday a partial pian of
the lines and underground work of
the company was submitted to Com
missioner K. II. Reynolds who re-
fused 70 accept the same.
APPEAL 30 COU.NCH..
The company then decided to ap-
peal to the council and at a special
meeting yesterday afternoon at 3
o'clock asked for the right to begin
work. Judge Bollinger and Attorney
). 4. Kenworthy appeared for The
company. After they had stated their
proposition, Mayor Harry NJ. Schriver
offered a resolution to the effect that
the company be granted the right to
put in a conduit on one block on Fifth
avenue from Forty-fifth to Forty-sixth
street. The matter received no Sec

Hardly had the action been taken
before the company officials hurried

Commissioner X. r. Reynolds late in
the afternoon heard of the operation
of the men and hustled out to the
scene Of the work He ordered the
men to quit and they retired across
the line into Moline.
1t was the Mayors position that the
company ought 10 be granted the
right to lay enough conduit TO protect
their franchise. recognizing the ex
peuse TO which the company has been
placed lie felt that the complete
plans of the company could be filed
within few days and that the fran
chise OF the company ought not TO be
forfeited on a technicality. although
he strongly opposed tearing up any
new pavement.

position that the company should
have started their operations long age

STRIKERS CLMy
sun IS TOO HOT
Greeks and Mexicans Still Hold
ing Out for Extra Two
Bits Per Day.

Thus far the Tri-City Railway COM
of the 80 laborers who went on
strike yesterday and the men are still
holding out for $3.50 per day. The
men claim that the weather is entire
ly too hot and the work too hard to
spend 10 hours under the burning
rays of the sun for S2.25 and as other
firms are paying the extra two bits
they think they should have it also.
The strikers are mostly Greeks and
MeXiCans and are not affiliated with
the Tri-eity Federation of Labor in
any way whatever.
Yesterday after the strike had been
declared on Eleventh street between
Seventh and Thirteenth avenues a
number of the strikers journeyed up
to Third avenue where some similar
work was in progress. About that
time one of the work cars of the COM
pany came along carrying a small
number of Greeks and after the men
on the car were informed of the plans
of the other gang, and had refused to
join them, the strikers pulled the troll
ley from the wire and proceeded to
unload their brothers from the car by
force. The men on the work train
! had evidently taken a look at some
of the war pictures in the shining
stands uptown before they came to
work and a miniature battle resulted
in which no one was seriously injured
and which resulted in a victory for
! the strikers.
The strike is not being conducted
] by any organization.

RIDE PROPOSED.

Early in the evening the Clinton
young men were stroiling about the
streets, where they met two local young
women. The newly acquainted ones
strolled about for awhile, and at
midnight a buggy ride into the
country was suggested A surrey and
team were secured front Murrin's liv-
cry barn. On the return trip, one of
the girls was driving, when the horses
suddenly became frightened, and the
surrey was overturned. All of the
occupants were more or less bruised,
and but for the fact that the lines be-
| came entangled about Cambell's legs,
| there would have been a runaway, and
| probably serious injuries. The acct
| dent occurred two miles south of the
| city.

to the proprietor, refused to settle for
the damage, but instead tried to es-

the entire party was placed under ar
rest.

In the last game of the season
Thursday afternoon on the local grid
iron the Ashland high school football

gon, triumphed over the team from
klamath Falls by the decisive score
of 19 to o. The game was fast and
exciting from the start and the we'll
drilled klamath players were in the
game all the time and fought to hte
last minute for a score. Ashland
realized that the klamath boys. were
out for a victory and the whole team
rallied at the critical periods and
fought like tigers. finally being re-
warded by a well-earned victory.
The largest crowd to attend a
game here this season was on hand

threatening rain storm. The rain
Wednesday evening had left the field
in excellent condition for the game,
and although another storm was eX-
pected at any time the weather man
was considerate and held off the
downpour until after the struggle
was ended.
Garrett and Mcclure were the un-
disputed stars for klamath Falls, the
former doing the greater part of the
offensive work and Mcclure gaining
praise by his spectacular tackling and
excellent kicking abilities. For the
home guard the whole team deserves
great credit for the victory, Shinn,
Wallace, Spencer and Lilly making
great gains by the use of forward
pass plays. Captain Garrett played
his usual good game. and, in fact, the
whole line showed up to excellent ad-
vantage.
Ashland pulled off Ga plays, AZ of
which were forward. passes, an un-
usual amount Of this style of play.
OF these AZ passes go were success
ful and netted approximately 2S5
yards, while 20 were unsuccessful.
This is very good average consider
ing the fact that more than every
other play was a forward pass.
At $40 Wallace kicked off to Gar
rett, who ran the ball back 25 yards.
On the first down Mcclure punted,
the ball going over the side line on
Klamath's 35-yard line. Three for

the home team and a grand free-for-

on Klamath's 15-yard line. Several
players tried to regain it but finally
Frame fell on the elusive pigskin and
Ashlan dstarted more forward pass
plays, the first gaining about yards.
Shinn managed to escape the notice
of the visitors left end and ran along
the side line, receiving Lilly's long
pass and rushing it over the line for
touchdown. Spencer receiyed the
punt-out and Delsman kicked goal.
On McClure's kickoff the ball fell
to the ground and Wallace fell on
it on Ashland's 15-yard line. Time
was called for first half as teams
were lining up.
Wallace kicked off to Mcclure, the
latter running the ball back 10
yards. Garrett gained on a left
end run, but Wallace threw Mcclure
for loss on a duplicate play. Ash
land held a line plunge and Mcclure
again punted, which Lilly returned
yards. Spencer made l 5 yards on
pass, Lilly gained yards on
pass, and the next two plays failed,
Lilly punting on the next down for
a touchback. Wallace threw Mcclure
on an end run, Garrett netted Is on
left line plunge, and two other
plays gave the lake boys yardage
again. Holmes substituted for An
derson. The next charges We're di-
rected against the left side of Ash
lands line and three successive
smashes gave klamath only 8 yards,
owing to the excellent defensive work
of the Ashland linemen. Spencer re-
turned the ball 20 yards on the fol-
lowing punt and gained Is yards
more on a pass, while Wallace con-
tributed 10 more on the next play.
Klamath broke up two passes and
Lilly netted s yards on a fake for

Wallace received a pass for yards,
but Quarterback Garrett of klamath
intercepted the next one. Klamath

ering and gaining yards. Three
