ISSUE A WARNING
TO The CHILDREN
Many School Children Gather
Flowers in City Parks and
Offenders Will Be Arrested.

Owing to the fact that school chill
dren of the city as well as older PEG
pie. have been in the habit of gather
ing flowers in the city parks, the city
commission today drafted an ordin-
ance which makes it an offense pun
ishable with arrest and fine for those
who are caught in future gathering
flowers of any kind in the parks of
Moline.
This act was brought on by COM
plant of the sexton at Riverside Gem
etery who says that numerous chill
dren make daily trips to the silent
city. where they gather flowers of all
kinds and thus take away the things
which make the place beautiful. He
has warned them repeatedly but they
have paid no heed, and for this rea-
son the local police have been in
structed to arrest all offenders caught
in future plucking flowers from any
public park in the city.

OFFICERS ARREST
ANOTHER SPEEDER

Either Moline automobilists and mo-
tor cycle riders do not read the news
papers or are anxious to spend little
coin, for they do not seem to take
warning at the repeated arrests made
by the local police and the fines levied
upon their brother speeders. Three
have gone the route this week, each
paying SO fine, thus adding materi-
ally to the city's strong box. and as
long as they continue to come in Mag
istrate Gustafson is perfectly willing
to keep on assessing SO fines. Hardly
a day passes now in which one or
more speeders is not hailed into police
court and fined.
The latest offender was John Han
son, who seemed to be laboring I'M
der the mistaken idea that Fourth ave
nue. was an indianapolis speedway.
and who. according to the policeman
who made the arrest, was speeding at
the clip of 40 miles per hour on the
busy thoroughfare. Johnson's reck-
lessness cost him SO and costs and if
he repeats the offense he wont get off
for less than $50.

APOPLEXY CAUSE
OF LARSON DEATH
Coroner's Jury Holds Inquest
and Reach Decision Demise
Due to Natural Causes.

Coroner r C. J. Meyer empaneled a
jury late yesterday afternoon and held
an inquest in the Rose & Barnard
undertaking parlors here over the re-
mains of Albert Larson, the Velie Car
riage company employee who fell dead
while at work yesterday morning.
The evidence taken by the coroner
showed that Larson came to work as
usual yesterday morning and seemed
10 be feeling as well as ever. Shortly
before noon, however. he was stricken
and death was practically instantan-
eous. Fellow employees rushed to his
assistance but he was dead when they
arrived.
The jury decided that death was due
to natural causes from a sudden at
tack of apopleXy, and turned in a YER
dict to this effect.
The deceased has been an employe
of the Velie company for the past 10
years and was popular among his fell
low workmen. II has been the custom
of his friends at the Velie company TO
present him with an annual purse as
a present and token of their esteem.
Funeral services will be held at the
home, 427 Forty-third street, Rock Is
land. Sunday afternoon. The hour has
not been announced.

plotting a trip along the Mississippi be

ment boat 10 reach here on such trip
this year
The Elmer will return to Dubuque
from here where it will remain until
the entire government fleet goes into
service. The fleet will remain inactive
however, until the harbor bill passes
the senate, which will probably be in
the near future. 1t has already met
with the sanction of the house and Ia

land and the local lad get together for

Henderson is undoubtedly one OF
the classiest scrappers in the weller
weight class. and the clever manner
in which he walloped Jack Redmond
at the Olympic club a few days ago,
places him on an equal footing with
the best men of the division. Red
mond has met Mcfarland and was out
pointed by a slight margin, so this
would seem to indicate that Hender-
son might have a chance to make
good showing against the stock yards

BOYS IN BATHING
WITHOUT TRUNKS
Squad of Policemen in Auto
Patrol Chase Lads Down
Banks of Mississippi.

A group of four boys clad only in
natures garb, closely pursued by a
squad of Moline policemen in the auto
river bank in the vicinity of Forty
eighth street, was the novel, if shock
ing sight, which greeted any who hap
pened to pass that way at about the
hour of o'clock. The policemen,
with the aid of the patrol had no trou-
BILE in capturing the naked lads, and
they were bundled into the car and
thence back to the police station, be-
ing allowed to don their garments en-
route. They were given immediate
trial on a charge of swimming in the
river without tights, a violation of the
city ordinance in that respect. but all
peat the offense.
Last summer the police were kept
busy chasing offenders who persisted
in violating the city ordinance and il
seems that they are due for repeti-
ton this year. Yesterday a telephone
message reached the station that a
number of boys were in swimming
trunks and Immediately the
police rushed to the spot only to find
the boys gone. A second call came
later in the afternoon and this time
the patrol auto was utilized and the
boys ultimately captured after a chase.
The boys might have succeeded in
effecting their escape at that, had it
not been for the fact that the police
had the auto.

CHANGE NAMES OF
MOLINE STREETS
City Commission Approves of
New Ordinance Abolishing
Fractional Thoroughfares.
DESIGNATED BY LETTERS
Move in the Interest of Aiding the
Public Has Long Been AdVo-
Gated by Council.

Streets and alleys of this city which
have been designated for many years
under the fractional numbers, are to
be made whole, according to a decis-
ion reached by the city commission.
Next Monday at the regular weekly
session of the Moline commissioners
an ordinance is to be presented for
eir adoption which will overcome
this evil and fill long felt want on
the part OF the thousands who live
along fractional thoroughfares. The
-dinance viii be adopted without dis
sension, for it has already met with
the unanimous approval of the city
commission.
Fifty Changes.
The total number of changes to be
made in street names will be about
so, and 1t will be some time before
these complete changes have been
brought about and the streets will be-
come known under their new names.
The ordinance provides that where
street is designated by a fraction a
letter shall take the place of the frac-
tional number. Thus, in the case of
the numerous Observation-Disclosures
avenues, they will henceforth be
known as Eleventh a avenue, instead
of Eleventh-and-a-half avenue. Elev-
enth B avenue, instead of Eleventh
and-a-half avenue; Eleventh c avenue
instead of th-and-three-quarters
avenue. 1t is possible that before the
ordinance is passed it may be decided
to designate fractional streets by let
tiers at the end of the alphabet, as
y. Y. u and fractional avenues by let
tiers at the beginning of the alphabet,
as A. B. c.
Drop Two Designations.
Fifteenth street, which now has
three different designations from its
inception at the rivers bank to the
city limits, will become Fifteenth
street all the way to Thirty-fourth
avenue. What is now known as Fiji
teenth street from Sixteenth avenue
to Nineteenth avenue will be known
as Fifteenth street place. Sixteenth
street will also extend the length of
the city and will continue to hold that
name after it branches at Twenty
eighth avenue. There will be a large
of changes in the Glen Oaks
and it is likely that the name
of Railroad avenue will be changed
River drive, however, will keep its
name
