Contractors Move ,O00Yards
in so Days Preparing
for Car Line.

Grading of Fourth street for the
street railway line which will be laid
there was finished today and the con-
tractors, Kahle Bros, began breaking
camp. Just so days were spent in the
work and approximately 10000 yards
of earth were moved. Only one week
during the period was there any delay
on account of bad weather.
The change in Fourth street has
been a remarkable one. Two large
hills have been cut down and two
large hollows filled with the dirt. One
cut was % feet deep and the other
almost as great. The grade is now
the lightest of any hill in the city
Work was done by the grading gang
from Fifth to Sixteenth avenue, the
street describing slight curve in that
distance. Everything is in readiness
now for the laying of the new stub
line which the Tri-City Railway COM
pany proposes TO build there. II is
hoped that this line will be in opera
tion before the holidays.

MURDERERSPAYA
VISIT TO The CITY
Police Convinced That Pair In
volved in West Liberty
Crime Were Here.

That two suspected murderers
were in Moline Saturday morning the
local police are now convinced. That
they were not arrested probably was
due to the fact that word was not re-
ceived here that a crime had been
committed till after they had gone.
There was a murder at West Liber-
ty Friday night, a man being killed in
a box car and $50 taken from him. 1t
is believed that hal: a dozen tramps
were implicated in the crime. a club
and a lantern being used to beat the
victim TO death.
Saturday morning two suspicious
looking characters appeared at a Mo
line saloon. One was short and heavy
and blind in the left eye. The other
was taller with gray hair and had a
cut on his right cheek and eye. a band
age being worn across his face.
The two men seemed to have plenty
of money. They bought drinks and
one of them went to the Mushroom sew
eral times. After he had gone the pro-
prietor went into the washroom and
discovered traces of blood in the wash
bowl. He notified the police, but the
two strangers could not be located. A
few hours later word came from Dav-
export that the crime had been COM
mitted at West Liberty. The local po-
lice have been unable to trace the sus-
poets, but il is believed that they
went east from here.

OUTSIDERS MUST
WAIT FOR A YEAR
Illinois High Schools Adopt
Rule Which Would Have
Barred Butler.

Students coming from other districts
having accredited high school will not
be permitted to take part in athletics
in Illinois high schools for period of
one year after enrolment. This was
decided at a meeting of the Illinois
High School Athletic association
which was held at Champaign Satur-
day. E. P. Nutting, principal OF the
Moline high school, represented this
city at the meeting. The ruling will
not affect students now engaged in ath-
letics.
1t was also decided to bar all pri-
vate academies from participation in
football and basketball, for the rea-
son that a number of such institu-
tions have maintained membership
for this purpose alone and it is felt
to be unfair to the high schools.
No citizen or anyone not acting Of
ficially as representative of school
will be allowed in future to purchase
sweaters or any other presents for
high school basketball or baseball
players costing more than 81 each.
This rule was adopted to stop the
practice in some cities of giving
trophies to athletes which overshadow
those which the schools officially pre-
sent and to favor those whom the
schools deem not entitled to rewards.
G. E. Marshall of the Davenport high
school delivered an address on the
work of the Iowa association. H. E.
Brown, formerly principal of the Rock
Island high school and now of Kenil-
worth, was reelected secretary-treas-
urer
Mr.. Nutting was accompanied by
the Misses Grace Warner and Ethel
Mrs. Clara Kruisdecker and
Karl Adams of the high school faculty.
all of whom attended the various high
school conferences Friday and Satur-
day.

REV. A. r. MORGAN BURIED;
LED AN EVENTFUL CAREER

Inc funeral OF Rev. A. r. Morgan,
who died Thursday of last week, was
held Saturday afternoon at Mackinaw,
ILL., Many friends from far and near
gathered to pay their last respects.
Mr.. Morgan was a notable figure in
Illinois Methodism. He was for 40
years connected with the Central ILL
nois conference, and ne always said
he would rather preach the gospel to
dying and sin-cursed world than to
do any other work at three times the
salary.
AS soldier in the civil war he took
part in many of the hottest engage
ments fought, and upon being dis
charged from the service he married
and began preaching. During his
career as a minister he prepared PAT
set sermons on different subjects.
In his long service as a preacher
Mr.. Morgan served the following APP
continents: Summit, Timber circuit,
Magnolia, Wyoming Zone year each,
which was the time limit, Knox
vile. Keithsburg, Peoria First Metho-
dist, Aledo (each for three years, the
time limit, Moline, one year. from
which he was appointed presiding ell
der of the Rock Island district. From
this district he was returned to the
pastorate of the Moline First church.
His health failed him and he took a
two years vacation. He was ap-
pointed by Governor Fifer as chap
lain of the state penitentiary at Joliet.
Mr.. Morgan was chaplain of the
Sixth regiment of Illinois volunteers
when the Spanish-American war
broke out and he went to the front.
He was afterward appointed to the
charges: Pekin. Dwight,
Canton, Monmouth, Normal and Mack
NAV. ii
He took a superannuated relation
in his conference on account of i'll
ness after his Normal pastorate, but
continued to make that city his home,
moving to Mackinaw year ago, when
he was appointed pastor of the church
there.

CITIES PARTNERS
IN REPAIR PLANT
Moline Would Join Rock Island
in Equipment to Fix As
phalt Streets.
BOTH NEED SUCH DEVICE
Shown That Work Can Be Done for
Less Than Half the Figure That
Contractors Charge.

That Moline and Rock Island may
go into partnership in the purchase OF
an asphalt repair plant is a possibility
of the near future. Commissioner Ed
Erickson of the former city, who last
week was one of a committee which
made a trip to nearby cities for the
inspection of paving, is working on
the project. If the two cities unite
in the enterprise a larger outfit can be
secured and the work done at more
reasonable cost.
Moline has between II and Is miles
of asphalt which is just passing be
yond the guarantee period and work
must be done on it every year. Rock
Island also has several miles of pave
ment now in need of attention. Both
cities in the past have been forced
TO depend upon private contractors,
who prefer to look after new work,
and only do repairing when there is
nothing else in sight They charge at
the rate of 81 per yard, or about the
same as the figure for new work.
Heavy Work This Year.
Last wear both Moline and Rock Is
land had some repairing done, the Tor
mer having Fifteenth street attended
TO. The coming season there will be
still more that will need attention.
It was found by the Moline junket-
ers that Omaha does its own asphalt
repairing at a cents per yard, and
has the advantage of doing the work
when it is most needed, instead OIL
waiting till the damage is aggravated
as is the case when the convenience
of a private contractor is consulted.

DECATUR TAKING THE LEAD
Overhead Crossings or Laws Which
Will Shorten Trains Seem to Be
the Only Solution.

Moline will participate in a move
ment to solve the nuisance of block
aiding of crossings by long freight
trains. The matter came before the
attention of the city commission at its
weekly meeting today in the form of a
communication from Decatur which
explained that special legislation
would be asked of the Illinois legisla-
ture and requesting that Moline be
represented when the bill is bling drawn
up. The commission ordered a reply
signifying that this city will do as
asked.
The letter was from Mayor Daniel
Dineen of Decatur, which city is af-
flicted much as Moline is, with rail-
road tracks through the business part
of town. Mr.. Dineen suggested that
there were two remedies, the elevated
crossing and legislation on the sub
ject of shortening the trains
Is Partly Obviated Here.
In Moline the nuisance is partly OBJ
waited by an ordinance making it a
misdemeanor for railroad employees to
switch cars across certain streets at
certain times in the day. the aim be-
ing to give workers a chance to get
to and from their employment. There
is, however, a great deal of trouble
caused by blockading of crossings
even under the present arrangement
Moline commissioners doubt that state
legislation will be sufficient to cope
with the situation, some phases call
ing for federation regulation.

Resistance by Air.

The effects of air resistance are
well shown in the 121a miles Simplon
tunnel, where an exceptionally high
amount of energy is required for run
ming the electric trains. The tunnel,
which is Is feet wide and IS feet high,
with a sectional area of $50 square
feet, has a ventilating current of g.
$50 feet cubic of air per second, main
tanned by two large blast fans at the
Brigue end and two exhaust fans at
Iselle. Trains going with this current
encounter less resistance than in open
air up to 1872 miles an hour, but at
higher speeds or in the opposite direc-
ton the resistance is much greater
than outside. Moving by gravity down
the seven per one thousand maximum
gradient, train, even though going
with the current, cannot exceed 35
miles an hour. on account of the break
ing by the air.
