EXPRESSCONCERN
TO DISCONTINUE
Local Agent of United States
Company Declares New
Rates is the Cause.

Although the local office has not re
ceived notice the United States
Express company is going to discon
tinue business. In an interview with
William A BartG, local agent, this
morning. he stated that they would
not receive notice for possibly month
or so. over 5000 employees OF
the company will be thrown out OF
work, and some of them have spent
practically their entire life in the ex-
press business, and are not fitted for
other lines.
The new rates. established by the
interstate commerce commission over
two years ago, before the parcel post
went into effect, has made il practi-
caly impossible for them to continue.
The new rate on an express package
from New York city to Rock Island
is 73c, while the actual cost rate of
the parcel post for the same distance
is about S12O and the railroads get
521z per cent of all charges of the eX-
press company. II will take from six
months TO a year. before the large
corporation Is finally dissolved.

Arguments on motion for new trials

McGrath were heard this morning by

We're convicted of stealing auto tires.
States Attorney F. z. Thompson in
formed the court that he was willing
that all of the defendants be admitted
to probation if they could show prev
ious good records and that they had
not been convicted of any crime in
the past. McGrath has been sent to
Pontiac and this may bar him from
taking advantage of the prosecutors
proposition. Attorney Scott is at
tempting to have his client released
on probation but Mr.. McCaskrin has
not filed any petition for Cooney.

South First Street is Cognomen

Ordinance Providing for Same Will

master Simpsons Letter.

South First street is the name of
! the newest thoroughfare in Rock Is
land. 1t is an extension of First street
beyond Eighteenth avenue and an or
dinance will be introduced at the
meeting of the city commission Mon
day afternoon providing for the chris
tening of the street and for the num-
boring of the houses which are located
on it,
The action is taken preliminary to
the extension of mail carrier service
to the newly annexed territory from
South Rock Island. Part of this dis
trict has already been served by
Uncle Sam but the fact that Eigh-
teenth avenue is not cut through. has
hindered the complete service desired.
Makes Installation.
Postmaster H. p. Simpson took up
the matter and sent his assistant,
Oliver p Olson, to make an investiga-
ton of the conditions. He then sent
the following communication to the
commissioners:
Responding to an appeal from
residents of the newly annexed terri
tory, in what would probably be an
extension of First street beyond Eigh-
teenth avenue, for carrier service, I
have made an investigation and find
that this office can give this service,
provided the new street is given
name and the houses properly num-
bered.
There are other requirements that
are essential under the regulations,
such as street lights and sidewalks
but am confident your honorable body
will provide the former in time and
the residents have given me assur-
ance as to walks when proper grades
are established.
MAY I rely upon your honorable
body to designate the street az once
and number the houses, SO that the
people who have petitioned me. may
have the convenience they desire.
without delay?"
City Engineer Wallace Treichler
this afternoon completed his report on
the matter and the commission will
take formal action Monday. The &C
tion goes to show the Willingness of
local postoffice authorities to extend
mail service to all OF the districts
which are added to the city.

TURN IN 3 FALSE
ALARMS MIDNIGHT
Vandals Cause Firemen Much
Trouble-Guilty Parties
Not Known.

Three false alarms were turned in
at the same box in succession last.
night causing the firmen much trou-
Bile.
The first call was sent in at IL
o'clock from box rs, Forty-fourth street
and Third avenue. Both the central
and station No. responded and when
they arrived found no fire nor anyone
near the box. Just as the truck of
station No. 3 had reached the barns,
another call was sent in from the
same box, and they responded the sec
ond time.
Shortly after they left there a third,
call was sent in from the same box.
This time the auto truck from the GEN..
trail station responded. When 1t ar
rived they noticed several boys about
10 years of age standing in the dark
ness on the opposite side of the tracks.
AS the firemen started after them, a
freight train came along and blocked
them, forcing them to wait five min
utes. In the meantime the vandals
escaped.
The penalty for turning in a false
alarm is $50 and costs and should the
guilty ones be apprehended they would
be severely dealt with.

vsar IL the agreement entered into
i,st evening between the South Rock
r.lsud directors and members
a the Rock Island school board is ap-
moved BY the South Rock Island trus-
,sAs and BY the Rock Island board as
s whole
The plan is for the city board to
n1rn over 10 the township the school
revenues collected this spring in the
mart or the school district which was
zithin the city limits at the time the
last tax levy was made. This tract is
limited 10 the first admitted to the
eity and while il includes the grounds
On which the school in question are
located il constitutes only a small
Part OF the district that the school
serves.
The agreement was reached after a
conference OF two hours AT the Rock
Island board room in the high school.
All the directors of district ~ were
present. F. NJ. 3. Chambers. president:
OIof Atkinson and Frank Fitzpatrick
George Brown. member Of the town
ship trustees. and Clark Smith OF
Milan. treasurer for South Rock Is
land township. were also present.
There is little doubt that the agree
nent will be ratified. it is said.
Keep for Fiscal Year.
Il IS proposed To allow the South
Rock Island directors 10 retain charge
q the school for the fiscal year end
ing in April. 1915. BY that time it Is
believed that territorial changes will
have been definitely settled and there
will be no uncertainty 10 prevent a
complete solving of the problem.
II the city should take control OF
the school now. it is pointed out. it
would have no place 10 teach the sew
enth and eighth grade pupils now at
tending the Center Station school. At
least till the end OF the school term
they would be compelled 10 continue
as now. with the city paying tuition for
hem.
By The end OF another year II IS
hoped the Rock Island board will have
plans developed and possibly actual
obstruction under way which will
take care OF the surplus OF school chill
dren in the entire west end Of the
rity, giving them manus' training and
domestic science and departmental ad-
gsntaEes n the higher grades.
