''ROCHE'S MOVE"
REPLY RED men
Indians Claim Manager of In
dependents Has Severe
Case of Gold Feet"
INCLINE TEAM WILL PLAY
Island City Squad Has Made No Effort
to Arrange Game to Be Staged
in December.

Moline Indians take radical excep-
ton TO the statements of Jack
Roche of the Rock Island Independ-
ents. as they appeared in the Argus
of yesterday One Of the men con-
nected with the Indians eleven had
the following TO say with respect to
Roche's story:
Here is the exact status of the
steps to arrange game for December
6. Roche came to Manager Frank
Lohr of the Indians saying. how about
a game for December 60 Lohr replied
that II was just what the Indians
wanted, adding that he was ready to
close the deal at the Red Men club
rooms at any time. That was several
days ago. Since then Mr.. Roche has
not been heard from. except through
The Argus and other papers in 4 story
that attempts to brand the Indians as
being afraid to play the game and
which says that the Indians have
steadily refused to play the Independ-
ents.
II Is Islanders Move.
IN view of the last game being a
victory for the Indians the overtures
for another game must come from the
Independents and instead of enter
ing into negotiations they are resort
ing TO subterfuge and calumny and
uncalled for criticism OF the motives
OF the Indians.
IF there is any deal being put over.
the attempt IS being made by the Is
landers and not by the Indians. The
Independents are attempting to cover
up their own cold feet by accusing the
Indians OF wishing 10 sidestep a game.
'As far as the players themselves
not wanting to meet the Independents
is concerned. they declared 10 a man
in the club rooms last evening that
they would like nothing better than
another chance TO meet the Islanders"

Not What II Was For.

? When Miss Julia Bryant. daughter
of William Cullen Bryant, was a little
child, an aged lady, who was for a
time a neighbor of the poet and his
family, had been shown into the par
Tor OF the house, where she was max
ing her first call. She found the small
Julia seated on the floor with an illus
trated volume of Milton in her lap. AL
though she knew, OF course. that IL
must be the artist, not the author. in
whom at that early age the child was
interested. she asked genially by way
OF beginning an acquaintance.
Reading poetry already, little grip
Julia looked up and regarded her
gravely. Then she explained. with an
air Of politely correcting inexcusable
ignorance:
People don't read poetry. Papas
write poetry. and mammas sing po-
etry. and little girls learn TO say po-
etry. but nobody reads poetry. That
isn't what it's for"

MOLINE OFFICER
is GIVEN PRAISE
G. K. Woodin of Galva Comph-
ments Cop No. SO for
Stopping Fight.
AT THANKSGIVING GAME
Men and Boys Ready to Battle When
Davenporter Attempts to Wrest
colors from High School Girl.

Chief o. NJ. Bisant is in receipt of
a letter from c X. Woodin of Galva,
Ill, formerly of Rock Island, who
praises the work Of a Moline officer
at the football game on Thanksgiving.
According to the message a general
battle was about to be staged, follow
ing an attempt by Davenport rooter
to take some colors from a Moline
high school girl, when officer No. SO
broke into the limelight by promptly
stopping the fray.
Likes Officer 80.
The letter:
Dear Sir: One often sees in the
public print severe criticism of the
police. 1t is very seldom, and then
oaIy in cases where the truth is en-
tirely obvious, that one hears any
praise fer the ''coppers.' 1t must be
that these men do a huge amount of
good that gees entirely unnoticed.
AT the end of the football game
between Moline and Dav-
export, a Davenporter attempted to
WTeSt some COlOrS lIOIl q hOHHe NlSu
school girl. a Moline rooter interfer-
ed, blows were struck, and in less time
than it takes to write this a hot fight
was well started. ! was in its midst.
Although am a Rock Islander by birth
and was non-partisal, il began to look
like I would have to fight it out. At
this juncture Officer No. 80 of your
force damned his way through the al
most impenetrable crowd, separated
the ringleaders and an ugly scrap was
averted. There were no arrests and
probably not more than 200 people
knew what occurred. The violent ele-
ment in the tri-city contest was not
given a chance 10 hurt the game as it
has in times past.
Il take this opportunity Of compli-
melting your Officer No. 30 on his
coed, efficient work. Praise. / believe,
that was well earned and which is
given too little. Friends of tri-city
football have been greatly benefited"

Much has been heard in the pres
ent war of the terrible havoc
wrought by the shrapnel shell. This
is u hollow steel projectile, packed
with bullets. and containing a charge
of powder in the base. 1t is exploded
by a time-fuse, containing a ring of
slowly burning composition which
can be set so as to fire the powder
during the flight of the shell, when
it has travelled to within 80 yards of
the enemy. The head is blown off,
and the bullets are projected for
ward in sheaf, spreading outwards
as they go. The British 1S-pounder
shell covers a space of ground some
80 yards long by 80 yards wide
with its 365 heavy bullets. The
shrapnel shell was not fully intro
duced till after the Franco-Prussian
war.
OF late years a shell which COM
bines the action of the shrapnel and
the high-e yplosive shell has been in
troduced. This is the Universal"
shell, invented by Major van Essen
of the Dutch artillery. 1t is a
shrapnel with a detachable head fill
ed with high explosive. When burst
during flight it acts like an ordinary
shrapnel, and the bullets fly forward
and sweep the ground in front of it:
at the same time the head, with it's
explosive bursteT. flies forward and
acts as small but efficient high ex-
plosive shell. These projectiles have
been introduced for howitzers and
for anti-aircraft guns, and some of
the nations with new equipments,
such as the Balkan states. have them
for their field guns. Their introduc-
ton has, however. been delayed in
western Europe. as they are less
efficient as such than the ordinary
shrapnel. which is considered the
principal field artillery projectile.
An experiment in nationwide pro-
hibition that actually prohibits ap-
pears 20 be one of the incidental OBJ
ject lessons which is TO come from
the war. II is declared in Petrograd
that not drop of strong liquor is
20 be obtained anywhere in Russia;
tlat the consumption of vodka. which
has amounted to 1000 OOO. 900 a year.
has been reduced TO nothing. Govern.
ment monopoly has made possible this
conditioner something al least ap-
preaching It. for the report is proba
ably to be taken with grain of salt.
II is said that the German invaders .
of Belgium, whatever else they NAV
have destroyed. have been careful no,
10 injure park trees. The cavalry
men. so report goes. are forbidden
10 tie their horses to trees for fear
that the animals will gnaw the bark.
Germany was the first nation to apply
on a large scale. some of the
crown forests having been under sci
entific management for over a hun.

legislative Doinss

Atlanta. Ga, July AT last
the new county of Barrow has
been created-or so much so as
the legislature can create it.
The bill has now passed the gem
ate and is subject to a constitu-
tional amendment by the people.
1t passed the house last year and
narrowly missed passage in the
senate. It takes a bit off Gwin-
nett, Walton and Jackson coun-
ties.
Senator Mcneil stirred things
up in the senate by reading e
card from DR.. w. S. Ainsworth
of Macon attacking him and
other Bibb representatives for
their bill to legalize the sale of
near beer.
Mrs. Francis Smith Whiteside,
principal of one of the city
schools, will deliver an address
before the house tomorrow after
noon on woman suffrage, at the
special invitation of the house.
She is sister of Senator Hoke
Smith.
Work in the house is likely to he
expedited by the passage of rules
which will prevent a committees
holding up general bills past a
reasonable time. There is a
marked disposition on the part
of the rank and file to get action,
favorable or. adverse, on every
bill presented.
The prohibition question is
seemingly being given a rest,
whole day passing without a sin
glej bill bearing on beer, nigh
beer, locker clubs or interstate
shipments b ing presented.
There are many who believe that
no vote will be reached on any
bill involving the liquor question
at this session. The more con-
sentative members on both sides
appear willing to let things stand
rather than take chances by
opening up the question.
