MOTOR PATROL NEEDED
BY EAST MOLINE POLICE

The members of the East Moline
city council during the past few days
have been discussing the advisability
of purchasing an automobile police pa
troll for the city, and present indica-
tions are favorable toward getting
one.
The present plan is to get a small
patrol, one that would not cost more
than 500 or $500. With the addition
of Watertown to the city territory the
boundary lines have been enlarged
and the police have more to cover.

Had Archie Fullisix, Walter Sch

on the Mississippi river. After they
had been out for some time. the boat
capsized. The lads struck out for
shore without the skiff, swimming

AGREE TO =
TESTIFY
FULLY

Washington, April 17.-A1l the re-
calcitrant witnesses in the interstate
commerce commissions inquiry into
the financial operations of the Billiard
company, with the New Haven rail-
road, have agreed to testify fully on
corning the. facts in their possession
and produce the books and papers Of
the Billiard company before the COM
mission.
Chief Counsel Joseph w. Folk Of the
commission received from Honor S.
Cummings, attorney for two of the
witnesses, Hemmingandy and More
house, a telegram saying Cummings
clients would respond to the questions.
Another, telegram from Henry Stod-
dard, representing Whipple and Field,
gave. assurances that his clients not
only would testify concerning the mat
tiers to which a week ago they refused
to answer"but also would produce the
books and other documents of the
Billiard company desired by the COM
pany.
Confronted by an indictment and
criminal prosecution for their refusal
to reply to lawful questions of the
commission, the witnesses concluded
not to press their contention that the
questions asked constituted an in
vasion of their personal rights.
It is known that the federal grand
jury yesterday brought Indictments
against the four named witnesses. In
view of these, acquescence of the men
in the demand of the commission, the
indictments may not. be returned to
the courts. r.E . =

DAY OBSERVED

Throughout Minnesota, today, the
proclamation Of the governor making
this date Arbor day was observed TO
a greater or less extent. 1t was a legal
holiday under the law SO the day was
observed by banks, postoff1ce and pub
lie offices all beipg closed-just how
many trees were set out or how many
bird houses were built by the oc-
cupants Of the offices remains to be
seen. In many Of the schools of the
county there were appropriate OBJ
servations Of the day and some of the
and girls respected the sugges-
ton of the state superintendent that
some attention this year should be
paid to the birds and one suggestion
was the building of convenient bird
houses for use in attracting the
"feathercd friends" The circular sent
by the state department, among
other things said:
No n ever had too many friends.
Among our best friends particularly
among those of the farmer and of the
suburban and country resident, are
the birds. What ceaseless toilers for
us. No striking for shorter hours,
either as musicians or as insect eX-
terminatOrs. Think of all they bring
us - life, overlooking with graceful
movement, color, song, to say nothing
of the service that takes no holidays.
Without them, our gardens, our fields,
our orchards, our vineyards ould per-
ish from the ~devouring hordes of in
sects, and then we, too, would perish.
Inviting Then to Come.
Why not, then, multiply our friends,
the birds? Why not set up our in
Vitations to them on the tree and pole
and building which shall say, stop
here with is. Build here your nests
n rear your young" This is what
thousands have done who have fast
ened nesting boxes to the trees of the
yard Inc garden and orchard, and
provided the attractive martin-house.
Our state ornithologists and Audubon
societies are using every opportunity
to urge the necessity Of this upon all
who appreciate value of the bird, even
If it be only from the economic point
of view. 1t seems that modern meth
DDS pursued in orchards wood
lands have deprived man. birds Of
their natural nesting places in hollow
trees and limbs.
