City Commission Makes Initial

City's River Front.

Initial move toward the establish

with a promenade and park as back
ground. from Sixteenth to Eighteenth
street, was made by the city commits
sion this morning, when a petition was
approved by them for forwarding to
Major George NJ. Hoffman, head of the
U. S. engineers, asking that harbor
line be established between Fifteenth
and Sixteenth streets and that it be
re-establishd between Sixteenth and
Eighteenth streets in a way that will
afford more room to the city for park
purposes at the waterworks.
The building of such a wall is still
far in the future but the commission
is taking the first steps necessary for
improving the water front. II is pos
sible that with the consent of property
owners between Fifteenth and Six
teenth streets, the wall and dock
might, when the time comes to con-
struct 1t, be extended as far as FIT
teenth street one way and in the other
direction might connect with Sylvan

mission form of government and the

EAST MOLINE MEN
MAkECONFESSI0N
John Roberts and William
Swango Arrested by Chief
of Police Glen Coakley.
MYSTERY is CLEARED UP
Swango Resists Arrest and Puts Up
Stubborn BattIe-StoIen Revolver
Found in His Clothes.
MYSTERY is CLEARED UP

Mystery surrounding the series OF
petty robberies which have occurred
in East Moline during the past few
months has apparently been cleared
up by the arrest of John Roberts and
William Swango, and their ultimate
alleged confession. Police Chief Glen
Coakley made the arrests, taking
Swango when he caught him with a
loaded revolver on his person. Roberts
was arrested later.
Chief Coakley found Swango in a
down town restaurant and when
placed under arrest the man put up a
stubborn battle. Coakley finally sue
ceeded in conveying him to the sta
ton, however, and among other
charges he will have to face will be
one of resisting an officer. The mans
alias is "Cutey." The police believe
that he and Roberts have been con-
cerned in practically every petty rob-
berry which has occurred in East Mo-
line during the winter.
Entered coakIey's Home.
A few weeks ago a robbery took
place at the home of Chief Coakley,
several articles of minor value being
taken, among them a revolver. The
revolver found on Swango the chief
identified as the one taken from his
home. AS a matter of fact the chiefs
home has been entered on three diff
ferent occasions during the past win
ter and in all goods to the value OF
about SIS taken.
Roberts was companion of Swango
and for this reason the chief caused
his arrest.
Put Through Third Degree.
Roberts was put through the third
degree and finally made a complete
confession, stating that he and
Swango had thrice raided Coax
ley's home and that the re-
volver was taken in one of these visits.
The goods taken have been sold at
different places.
Among other work of Roberts and
Swango, was the holding up of Daniel
Mcneil last winter. Many local stores
were broken into and also some places
in Silvis. The work of the two seems
to have been on the wholesale
order The John K1oppenborg
clothing store was broken into three
times during the winter and clothing
of considerable value taken. Roberts.
according to the police, did not make
direct confession of being implicated
in this, but the opinion is that doubt
less he and Swango are responsible.
A barber shop on Twelfth street in
East Moline was entered by the two
men and several razors were taken. A
jewelry store and general department
store in Silvis were both entered and
a number of articles stolen. Roberts
confessed to a number of other house
breakings.
A Waterfowl man was held up last
winter and brutality beaten by two
thugs. He put up stubborn fight and
the thieves failed to secure any booty,
being frightened away. The man had
SIS on his person. The men did not
confess to this act, but their descrip
