More news from the Flasch Chimney
company, and A. E. Kerr, who until
recently was their salesman, was re-
ceived by the city commission this
morning. The message from Mr.. Kerr
was to the effect that the company was
not able to protect its patents. Other
charges were made in the letter and
it appears now that the commission
will not consider further proposals
from the incinerator company and will
annul the contract. A local inf1uen-
tial citizen received a message from
Frank J. Snite, secretary of the com
pany, asking him to interview the COM
mission in behalf of the company.
The council this morning also con-
sidered the proposal of H. G. Lewis,
who is getting out a book showing
views of the leading business insti-
tutions, churches, schools, parks and
other places of interest in the city.
Mr.. Lewis offered the council 100 books

Make OFFER To
THE CITY COUNCIL
5. 5. and I. B. Davis Explain PrOpO-
sitiOn for Laying OF Asphalt-Mac-
adam on Ninth Street.

S. s. and T. B. Davis this morning
in an executive session of the Rock
Island city council finally formally
submitted their proposition for laying
an asphalt-macadam pavement on
Ninth street. Mayor McConochie and
the commissioners took no action.
For the present nothing will be done
with regard to changing the type Of
paving Not until the legality Of the
annexation of the former village of
Sears to this city is established will
the council consider a change in the
type of material, members of the body
said. Even then, unless the majority
of the property owners are willing
that the new paving be tried, the mat
ter will be left as it is.
Confirmation of the projects by the
council having been made, and the
appointment of commissioners to draw
up the assessment roll agreed upon,
the matter of the paving of Ninth and
Twelfth streets now awaits the dis
posal of the quo warrantO proceed
ings which are hindering. Commits
sioners said this morning that while
they had heard the proposition offered
by Messrs. Davis, they had no COM
ment to make upon it.
The council was in session over
three hours. The following PROPOSE
tion was submitted: If asphalt-mac-
adam is used on Ninth street from
Brashar street to the intersection of
Twelfth street, MessTs. Davis agree
to pave at their own expense their
frontage from the intersection south
over the bridges; and to pay the diff
ference between the cost of brick and
that of sphalt-macadam. which Is
cheaper, TO a fund TO assist payments
of those assessed from Brashar street
to the intersection.

MENIRY TALKS TO ENGINEERS
Members of Northwest Division of

the good roads propaganda is public
sentiment" declared William McEniry
this morning in one of the principal
addresses at the meeting of the north
west division of the Illinois county sup
erintendents of highways in session
at the court house.
You need both money and sentiment,
but the former will not come until the
latter has been aroused" continued Mr..
McEniry. at should be your duty 10
educate the farmer on the need Of
good roads and the relation of perma-
ment highways to prosperity. Most of
the opposition which the farmers have
to good roads is due to lack of infor-
nation"
Mr.. McEniry then explained the cam
paign which was carried on in this
county for a S1,000,000 bond issue for
hard roads and that Notwithstanding
the country districts would pay but
from S150,000 to 100000 of the entire

c. L. McClanahan, Monmouth, spoke
of the Importance of secondary roads

WE'RE FAMILIAR WITH LOCATION
Authorities Believe Cracksmen Feared
to Return When Charge Re-
fused to Ignite.

Burglars last night made an unsuc-
cessful attempt 10 blow up the East
Moline postofice. The explosive was
placed in a drilled hole which the rob-
bers made from the Fred Schleuter
meat market next door. Il failed to

4 brick wall separates the postofl ce
at s39 Fifteenth avenue from the mar
ket, 837 Fifteenth avenue. Evidently
the burglars had studied the situation
previously and were familiar with the
location Of the vault with reference to
the meat market Entrance to the
market was forced by breaking the
glass in the door. reaching through
and turning the key.
The passage leading TO the post
office was stuffed with old coats at the
market end after the explosive had
been placed.
Await Explosion in Vain
The safe breakers departed and
waited for the explosion. When no
explosion occurred it is believed the
robbers were afraid to go back again,
either for fear of capture or because
they feared the explosion might occur
and injure them. AS a result the ar
ticles IN the postoffce vault were IN
touched this morning
Postmaster F. 0. Lovins states that
there was comparatively little money
IN the vault.
