PLAN ORDINANCE
FOR JITBUS MEN
Street Railway Officials VIII Ask for
Regulating Measure by Commits
sion Tonight.

First steps toward the Introduction
( oE #n ordinance TO regulate the Htney
bus traffic in Rock Island were made
this afternoon in an informal meeting
. Of street railway officials with the city
. commissioners i'm Mayor hIcC0uocble S
office. The Tri-City Railway company
. was represented by Manager Hum
go0u and President Porter. The con
. ference considered the ordinance that
I is now up before the Moline city com
mission and it is probable that q cor
responding ordinance may be intro
duged at the regular meeting Of the
commission tonight
The principal article that led to dis
cussion between the street railway Of
tcials and the commissioners was the
matter Of the bond to be required of
the jitbus men. especially those run
ming on the bridge line The 0rdin-
ance proposes 81 bond Of $4,000 and
while one such bond would be effective
for the drivers on the Rock Island
Moline route, the $500 bond already
required OF the bridge line drivers by
Davenport would not be coIectabIe
here. and i'm case the same local bond
were required of the bridge line drtv-
ers. these man would be put under the
expense of a total bond of $500 This
fact was brought out i'm tine argument
by Mayor McC0uochie and C0mmis-
siouer JuhI. who pointed out to the
street railway officials that such bur
den would probably put all the bridge
line drivers out of business

ATTEMPT TO ENLIST ITALY
Promises and Threats from the Teu-
tonic Powers

Rome, Feb. 16.-The Idea Nazion-
ale, nationalist party organ, pub
fishes this forecast of German pro-
posals to Italy:
Before the end of February Prince
Won Buelow, the German ambassador
to Italy, will present to the Italian
government a concrete proposal for
Italian participation in the war on the
side of Germany. This consists of
the cession by Austria of the province
of Trent, and the rectifcation of the
eastern Italian frontier by the addi-
tion of a strip of land going as far as
the Isonzo river. In addition Ger
many will pledge herself to conclude
a new treaty with Italy which will af-
ford protection to Italy's Meriterra-
mean interests.
'In exchange Italy is to take part
at once in the war. She will occupy
Tunis, and help Turkey drive the
English from Egypt, which will re-
turn under the dominion of the sultan
of Turkey. In addition the Italian
fleet will attack the Anglo-French
naval forces in the Mediterranean"
The Idea Nazionale says Prince Won
Buelow, referring to Trieste, made
this statement:
''It is impossible to give Trieste to
Italy because this seaport is the lung
not only of Austria, but of Germany"
At the conclusion of the converse
tion with Italian statesmen, Prince
Won Buelow, according to this news
paper, made use of this phrase:
Either Italy will be friendly to-
ward us, or we will treat her worse
than we are treating England"

To PUT
ON MORE PRESSURE
BRITAIN WILL AT ONCE RETALIATE AGAINST THE
THREATENED BLOCKADE

London, Feb. 16.-Germany's pro-
posal that England should abandon
the embargo upon food stuffs consign-
ed to German civilians, in return for
Germany calling off her submarine
campaign against British shipping,
was presented to the cabinet today at
an extraordinary session. 1t is relia-
oily reported that the proposal was
rejected in its entirety.
1t was announced later that King
George will hold a privy council late
today or tomorrow, at which the king
will sign proclamation prohibiting
the transportation of food stuffs to
Germany and providing various other
measures against the
threatened blockade, and it is under
stood that a blockade of the German
coast is planned.

ENTERPRIsING sCoUNDREL
Didn't Mind Breaking his Oath to
Make Few Dollars

New York, Feb. 16.-The X-ray in
vestigation of cotton comprising the
cargo of outgoing ships has been car
ried on for several months to prevent
contraband, and revealed yesterday
that bales of cotton waste consigned
aboard the White Star liner Cretic
contained rubber. The Cretic is due
to sail today for Mediterranean ports.
The consignee was given by officials
of the line as a firm in Genoa, italy.
The consignor, they said, was A. B.
Newman, of this city.
Each of the 178 bales in the con-
signment contained about four pounds
of rubber. The entire consignment
was refused shipment when the con-
traband was discovered. Officials of
the White Star Line said the Office of
the United States district attorney
had been furnished with the name of
the consignor and consignee.

AMERICA WILL

IN THIS COUNTRY

Washington, Feb. 16.-The procla-
nation making all foodstuffs absolute
contraband, which Great Britain is
preparing to announce, is expected to
be opposed by the United States. 1t
is evident that that the state depart
ment will dispute any pronouncement
which eliminates entirely conditional
contraband from neutral ships in war
time. The Wilhelmina cargo case will
bring the issue to a focus
1t now seems certain that the Brit
ish will try to keep all American
foodstuffs out of Germany.

City Marshal Adams authorizes the

In order to enlist the interest of our

evil doers, and especially those guilty
of the many robberies that have been
reported to his department recently,
he offers personal reward to any
private citizen who will capture one
of these robbers, as follows: One dol
lar for every dollars worth of goods
up to $25, and the last named sum for
goods stolen valued above that
amount.
This is a fair offer from the chief,
who is already doing his duty in faith

PROMOTING TEMPERANCE
Resolutions by the BlitchtOn Baptist
Sunday School

Whereas, We the Bhtchton Baptist
Sunday school in session Feb. IA, 1915,
heartily approve and endorse the
late action of the board of county
commissioners in notifying the clerk
to put on potice all employees of the
county that drinking liquors to excess
wouH be cause for removal; and,
Whereas, We believe the boards
order should have been more active,
i. e., a requirement of its employees
to observe total abstinence while in
line of service; therefore,
Resolved, That we shall pray for
and rejoice with delight the dawning
in our county of a period when not
only the county board but that the
subjects of Marion county shall de-
mand of those seeking political pre-
ferment that they be abstainers of
liquors in principle and practice.
