That James McKeeby and Charles

arrested in Davenport Sunday morning
will not be given up to the Chicago
authorities for trial has been decided

lagos of the state, the history of rail-
road enterprises, etc. together with
personal sketches of the most noted
public officials and other citizens

Invited to Davenport
The Davenport dealers invited the
Rock Island and Moline dealers to at
tend their spread to be held soon. The

Northwestern Coal Dealers associa-

ter the Illinois Wisconsin organization,
owing 10 the close relationship be
tween Rock Island and Moline, and
are working toward that end at the
present time.
One of the officials of the club stated
this morning that the public at large
misunderstands the object or THESE
meetings. Many of them are under the
/ impression that every time the coal
/ men meet they get together to raise
the prices, when in reality the ob]ec'
of the sessions are decidedly the op'
posite.- They meet to study condi'
lions. to secure better grades OF coal,
to better traffic and mine conditions,

tions for the consumer. Prices are
