parks, it's impossible for the patrol
men to keep watch over all.
"The park patrolman sees young
man and woman hunt bench off in
the shadows. And they go to hug
ging. There is nothing the patrolman
can do then but walk past them. If
they don't quit when he comes into
view, it is in his discretion to order
them to behave.
This condition is about the same
as it has always been. The condition
which is getting serious is the in
creasfng amount of pervert practices
among men.
II have never known a year when
so many complaints and arrests and
prosecutions have been made as this
year.
I'VE have had over a dozen cases
fourteen cases in all, believe

able to get of with light fine and

a warning from the court"
Sup't Foster explained that more
and more patrolmen have been
brought in from regular patrol duty
and are absolutely necessary to
watch boulevard traffic.
More and more automobiles cram
the wide, oiled roadways. So more
and more patrolmen must be ordered
in from duty around the walks and
paths and shrubbery.

SOFT DRINK MEN
IN FEAR OF LAW
Many Are Selling Cider and
Soda Which Are Thought to
Contain Alcohol.

In evident fear of the law certain
operators OF soft drink parlors about
the city have been flocking to the city
chemist with cider, pop and other such
supposed to be- soft drinks, in order
to have them tested for the percentage
of alcohol contained therein. One
proprietor of a local pool hall recently
had bottle of something labeled "ci-
der" tested by the chemist, and it de-
veloped that a larger percentage of
alcohol prevailed than is the case in
most beers.
The discovery OF this fact has caused
others to seek tests. owing to the fact
that they do not care to wilfully break
the law. Ignorance of the law ex-
cuses no man, and 1t Is necessary for
the soft drink parlor proprietors to
prove that they did not know that al
cohol was contained in these drinks,
or they are subject to heavy fines.
Judging from the number who are evil
IDENTIFY afraid that they are selling alco-
holic beverages, however, it would
seem that the manufacturers are to
blame for putting this stuff on the
market. The city authorities are con-

THOUSAND DOLLAR
FIRE DRAWS MANY
Big Crowds Watch Flames De-
stroy Barn Belonging to
Charles BenneQ.

Thousands of Moline people who
were down town last night awaiting
election returns fiocked to fire in the
alley between Twelfth and Thirteenth
streets and Fourth and Fifth avenues,
which at about $3.50 damaged the barn
belonging TO Charles Bennell to the
extent of about $1,000.
A squad of policemen had to hold
back the crowd until a rumor was sent
out that there was large storage of
gasoline inside the burning structure
This scattered the crowd in al direc-
tons, everyone seeking safety by put
ting as much space as possible be-
tween himself and the barn. There
was no gasoline there, however. Two
horses were in the barn, but they were
led out without being injured. The
entire barn was destroyed, but the
blaze was kept from spreading to near
by buildings.

MOLINE OFFICER
ARRESTS HIMSELF
George w. Hasson Pinches
Himself on Charge of As
sault and Battery.

George w. Hasson, policeman, living
at 2511 Fifteenth street, had the
unique distinction this morning of ar
resting himself on a charge of assault
and battery. He then led himself to
the police station, gave bonds to the
desk sergeant, secured a continuance
of his case until late this afternoon,
and went home to secure some much
needed sleep.
Hasson arrested himself upon COM
plant of Frank Miller, better known
as Motorcycle Mike as the result
of his short term of police duty last
summer in the capacity of special Off
GER At that time Miller was detailed
to catch speeders. He and the police
officer have not been on the most in
innate of terms for some time, and
few days ago they became involved in
a heated argument, which ultimately
ended in a fistic encounter. Report
has it that Hasson came out first best,
while Miller was vanquished.
Miller thereupon swore out a war
rant for Hasson's arrest. Justice En-
trikin turned the warrant over to the
desk sergeant, and he inntrusted it to
Hasson, with strict orders to arrest
the culprit. Hasson therefore placed
police station. He declares that he
did not resist arrest, but came along
peacefully.

sioner Louis Jahns. was severely scald-
ed at the city water pumping station

RATES LOWERED
AT EAST MOLINE
City Council Holds Regular SEES
sion and Reduces Present
Levy on Water.

At a meeting of the East Moline
city council a decision was reached to
lower the present water rates owing to
a popular demand of the public. The
new rate reduces 1000 gallons from
so to % cents. Rates for larger guam
titles were affixed as follows:
1000 to 10000 gallons, 20 cents per
1000 gallons.
10000 to $4,000 gallons, 10 cents per
1000 gallons.
More than $4,000 gallons, 10 cents
per 1000 gallons.
The new water rate also calls for
deposit fee OF So for each meter, and
in buildings or flats containing more
than one family a meter for each fam
lily will be required. Heretofore only
one meter for each buii6ing was re-
quired and no advance deposit fec
asked.
Other business transacted was of
minor Importance, with the exception
of a discussion of more lights in GER
tain parts of the city.

$1,7O0,O0O SPENT
HERE IN ONE YEAR

According to the official records for
the year from April 1, 1918, to April
l, 1914, maintained by the office of
John H. Wood, building inspector of
Moline, this city has spent $4,000
during the past year on building i'm
provements. a total of go building
and heating plant permits were issued
during the year by the department,
and all previous records for building
improvements were broken. This is
certainly an indication of rapid pro-
gress and it is hoped that the next
year will sec even larger amount in
vested and more buildings and homes
erected.

that he would turn his entire salary

Vote on Poll Tax.
The vote on the poll tax resulted in
it's adjustment from the township by
a vote of 1852 TO 1876. The claim is
made today by certain advocates of
the local option cause here that this
question should never have been placed
On the ballot as It caused consider
able confusion. II seems. however.
that this confusion prevailed on both .
sides. II seems that many of the vot-
srs. especially the women. did not
notice the local option issue upon the
same ballot as the party candidates,
and supposed that the poll tax ballot
was the local option question. The dry
forces claim that a great difference
was made in the vote because of the
wrong ballot On the other hand the
vets claim that they would have re-
,eiyed the majority anyhow.
BY the wet and dry vote Moline re-
aims its So saloons. and there is now
10 possibility OF them being driven out
or at least two or even more years.
