OPPOSE REBUILDING OF
THE ISLE OF SAFETY"

Opposition to the rebuilding of the
concrete shaft at the intersection of
Sixth avenue and Fifteenth street,
undertaken by the city since the &C
cident last week in which it was dem
Clished by an automobile, is opposed
by nearly all the automobilists, while
there is a difference of opinion among
those who frequently cross the
street there afoot as to its utility. A
petition for its abolition will be pre-
scented to the commission, probably
within the next few weeks. Some con-
tend that its presence is justified by
the added safety given pedestrians,
but the autoists insist that it is
standing menace to automobile traf-
fic. especially to machines coming
down the Fifteenth street hill, which
are compelled to make a short turn
there. Autoists say that If the shaft
remains there will be many accidents.

Concern.

Within a short time a proposition
for the installation of a garbage incin-
orator will be submitted to the Moline
city commission by Otto a. Elliott,
representing the w. H. Mcguire SAM
tary Garbage Incinerator company of
Springfield, Ill. This is the concern
the equipment of which has been in
vestigated by Commissioner Archie
Hart of Rock Island with a view of
installation in that city.
1t is not likely that anything will be
done on the incinerator proposition by
the present administration. There is
no appropriation available for such a
purpose and it is not the intention to
make an emergency act of it, though
the need for an incinerator here Is
keenly felt. OF course if it is decided
to purchase one bids must be adver-
tised for. The Springfield concerns
outfit will cost from $500 to $4,000.

DOWN and OUT HE
SURRENOERSSELF
Young Man Claims He Stole
$500 Earrings From EN-
ployer in Arkansas.
WANTS TO RETURN TO HOME
Willing to Serve Term in Penitentiary
to Expiate Crime He'cIaims to
Have Committed.

Declaring that he had robbed his
employer in Arkansas and that he
was tired of fleeing from place to place
under the impression that the police
were always on his trail a young man
gave himself up to the police officers
Sunday morning, and is now locked
in a cell awaiting word from the
south.
When he appeared at the police sta
ton the young man presented Woe
begone appearance. His clothing was
in rags and he was cold and hungry
and without a penny. He said he
wanted to return home to his mother,
but had been afraid to do so for fear
OF being arrested. Now he was will
ing to take his punishment, though he
was aware that it would be term in
the penitentiary.
The young man says his name is
Harry Triple, "a years of age, and
that his mother lives at Tabor, Iowa.
A year ago, according to his story, he
was working for a woman in Arkan-
sas. a chance came for him to steal
a pair of Diamond earrings valued at
$500 nd he yielded to the temptation
and then fed.
Pawns the Jewels
At Springfield, Mo-, he pawned the
jewels, and since then he has been
moving from place to place. His mon
ey was soon gone, and from that time
on he led a precarious existence. 1t
was difficult to obtain employment,
and he was afraid to remain long any
where for fear the police would find
him. When he arrived in Moline he
was down and out and thoroughly dis
couraged. He declared that after he
had done time for his crime he would
never err again-that his punishment
already had been sufficient to atone
for what he had done.
The police telegrphed to the Arkan
sas town where he claimed to have
committed the theft and to Spring
field where he said he had pawned
the earrings, but up to noon today
had received no reply.
