Present Council Responsible.

The effort TO have the rates Of gas
and electricity GU; first started shortly
after the present administration as
sumed charge Of city affairs last May
The commissioners worked quietly and
it was not generally known that the
council had a matter Of this kind I'M
der consideration.
Nothing was said regarding the fact
that the commission a month or so
after assuming Office informed the Of
fcials of the Peoples Power company
that the city would ask cut in the
gas and electricity tariffs. The com
pany promised to consider the matter
and give the city its answer Nov. /.
Yesterday when the officials appear
ed before the council resolution
showing the expectancies of the com
mission was presented 10 the com
pany's representatives Compromise
was then suggested but no action was
taken at the formal session of the
council, pending the final answer of
the company which will come next
Monday. Officials promised TO con-
slider again the proposition Of the city
and make reply at that time.

Want Quick Action.

Mayor McConochie said yesterday
afternoon:
We had an informal meeting with
officials OF the Peoples Power company
this afternoon While we wanted a
rate considerably lower, we thought
it better to compromise than to have
the matter placed before the state pub
lie utilities commission. for we could
not get decision sooner than in two
years and We want quick action on
this matter
The company agreed to give us 80
cent gas in another year but we want
it by Jan I and think that We can get
it. If We insisted on a much lower rate,
either We or the company would petit
ton to the utilities commission. who
would, after a long Investigation re-
port on the petition
We are also asking for substan-
tial reduction in the rate Of electric
ity I think that is higher proportion
ateIy than gas"
Commissioner NJ T Rudgren said
that the present rate for electricity is
Il cents per kiIowatt hour and that the
council would likely ask for a 10 cent
rate.

COMPROMISE SCALE NAY RESULT
tiiities saneern TO Answer Next Mon
day to Proposition Under Censid.
erasieH Since Last June.

Before the open council meeting yes
terday afternoon the municipal com
mission held an informal session with
the officials Of the Peoples Power COM
pany Ia which the city asked for a re-
adjustment OF the gas and electricity
rates The commission will receive an
answer from the company next Mon
day on the subject which has been I'M
der consideration since last June,
Although asking rate considerably
lower the commissioners have hopes
that by Jan. / the price on gas will
be cut to 81 per thousand feet The
present tariff is 10 with a ten per
cent discount which brings the price
down to 80 cents. The ten per cent
discount on the new rate will bring
the price down to 80 cents.
Electric light is furnished by the
Peoples Power company at present at
the rate of II cents per kilowatt hour
The council has hopes of cutting this
to 10 cents
Following is the ordinance before
the council, as designed by Mayor Nc
Conochie
Whereas, the Peoples Power COM
pany is enjoying a most valuable fran
chise given them by the city of Rock
Island, and considering that the corpo-
ration and its predecessors have been
doing business in the city of Rock Is
land ever since it has been a village.
and that during that time they have
been afforded every opportunity and
privilege they sought to transact bust
ness proftably and successfully by
being granted the use of the streets,
avenues and alleys of the city of Rock
Island for the construction of gas
mains, and for the erection Of poles
and the stringing of wires with no ex-
pense to them.
And whereas this corporation is
no longer an infant industry needing
protection in its growth, We feel that
the Peoples Power company should
now grant the concession TO the citi-
zens Of Rock Island for which they are
asking by making a reduction in the
gas rates and also proporuonate re
duction in the rate for electricity"

Ya|e's Great Football Player Dies
'Tom Shevlin Passes Away His Home in Minneapolis Wednesday After Six Days Illness of Pneumonia Work With Yale Team Left System Exposed

Minneapolis, Minn., Dec. 29.-Thomas I. Shevlin, millionaire lumberman and Yale football coach, died at ' a. m. today of pneumonia. He was stricken with the malady six days ago after being weakened by overwork and ex- posture in drilling the Yale team this fall.
 At the close of the Yale season MT Sheylin went to California to recuper- ate. He returned to his home here last Wednesday. On Thursday pneumonia developed. Last night four physicians of the Twin Cities gave up hope of saving him and summoned a specialist from Chicago who made the trip on a special train in record breaking time.
 Shevlin ranked as one of the great est players the gridiron game ever produced, and his love for his alma mater was so great that he really gave LID his life to serve it in its hour of need.
 Shevlin explained the 1907 Yale team and then after graduation went into the lumber business in the west. In 1910, when the Yale team was shot to pieces. a call was sent for "Old Reliable Tom" and he answered it by rushing to New Haven, whipping the tCem into shape and enabling it to beat Frirceton and tie Harvard.
 This season, when the Yale team was laundering in the mire of defeat, Shevlin was called upon to serve his college, and he answered that call. He wo.ked day and night in his at tempts to develop the material into championship calibre. He surprised the football world when his rejuvenat- ed outfit beat Princeton.
 Shevlin was born in Minneapolis in 1852. He went to Yale after graduat- ing from Pottstown, Pa, Hill school In 1869 he married Elizabeth Sherley, a Kentucky belle.
 Snevlins estate is valued at close to S2l,OO0. 900. His widow and his young daughter Betty will inherit it.
 Just a few months ago Shevlin took out a $1,00O,000 insurance policy on his fife.
 Thomas Leonard Shevlin was per hapS the most popular living Yale graduate. He was the son of Thomas H. Shevlin of Minneapolis, the million aire lumberman. who died in Pasadena Jan. 16, 1912.
 SEevlin was born in MuskegOn. MiCh., March l. 1883. and prepared for college at Hill school. He registered for the Yale examinations in June, 1900, and entered in 1902. Early in college career ShcVlin began to distinguish himself in athletics, taking an active part in track, baseball and football, and was chosen to captain the football team for the season of 1905. He was chosen by Wal ter Camp as the All-AneriCan end for three successive seasons. Shevlin was

NEW YORK TANKS AFTER
 FEDERAL LEAGUE STARS
Bids For zwiTIing, FIack, Fisher, Allen
 and Knetzer.

That the Yankees are sparing no ex- pense in their efforts to build up an American League winner in New York has become further aparent when President Jacob Ruppert wired the va rious Federal League camps for top notch talent.
 Baker and Lee Magee, the Tanks yesterday opened negotiations for another seXtet of capable performers, President Ruppert wired Charley Weeghman of the new Cub-Whales to give him a price on Catchers Jim Archer and Bill Fischer and Outfield- CTS Zwilling and Flack, should any of the quartet be on the market.
 Fischer is the former Brooklyn catcher, who has improved a great deal since he has been given more work. Zwilling was drafted by the Braves when he jumped, and F'laclI is strictly a Federal League develop ment and one of the best players to be taken over by Organized Baseball. Archer, of course, never was with the Federals, but Ruppert put in a bid for him in the event that Tinker would stand pat on Fischer and Art Wilson, who did the catching on the Whales.
 Ruppert also wired to Gwinner, of the Pittsburgh Federals, for a price on three players. including a pair of former Dodger pitchers, Baron Elmer Knetzer and Frank Allen. Both of these boxmen did good work for Pitts burgh, though Allen never amounted to much in Brooklyn.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS DULL.
Acute Political Conditions Served as
 Check to Speculation.

New York, Dec 29.-Increased anx- tety over the foreign situation, par ticularly the Austrian outlook and the acute political conditions in Great Britain, together with a new low quo tation for the Anglo French bonds, served as a check to speculation to- day. Trading suffered some curtail- ment also as a result of the storm, which interrupted communication with this center.
 Adverse developments were partly nullified, however, by others of a highly constructive character, such as additional reCOrd-breaking November railway earnings, the further strength of exchange on London, heavy buying of equipment by the railways and the optimistic forecast of steel trade au- thoritieS.
 Heaviness prevailed at the opening of the market, followed by spasmodiC rallies, in which specialties were most conspicuous. United States Steel and leading rails inclined to lower levels, St. Paul proving the most notable eX- caption on its rise of 1 3-4 to 97 3-S, prior to the publication of November earnings, disclosing a net increase of $2,000,O00. Canadian Pacific was un- responsive to that roads remarkable exhibit, a net gain of $3,710,00 but Erie first and second preferred hard ened on announcement of the terms of tue new COnV6rllDIe DOnO issue.
 Specialties later pursued an irregu- lar course, General Motors losing 19 at 474, and Bethlehem Steel 10 at 46O, while war descriptions were l to 3 points lower. Oil shares were brought forward in the final hour, with aver age gains of to 3 points, but other wise the list showed little animation Total sales amounted to 400, 900 shares
 The fall in Anglo French lives to the new low price of 93 7-S occasioned much conjecture as to the principal sources of the selling. Offerings over shadowed all other features of the bond list, one lot of $795, 900 changing he nds at 94 immediately before touch ing the new minimum. Sales of this issue aggregated $200O,O 1000.
 Demand bills on London rose tc 4.73 3-4, with steadiness in francs but Austrian and Russian remittances | again approached lowest rates quoted since the war.
 Bonds as whole reflected the heav. | mess of the Anglo-French issue. Tota sales, par value, aggregated S4,65O, 900 | United States bonds were unchanged 1 on call.

A few days later Jc'aes announced ne was willing to take over the Willard-Fulton agreement and stSe the fight here as originally ar ranged, excepting that Willard should take percentage of the receipts in- stead of S32,50 purse.
 JCnes arrived today from Chicago and conferred with Burns inan en- deavor to settle the hitch over the match. Announcement of the cancel lat.on followed. Jones said he would fighter before he fought the champion and insisted that Willard would night Fulton before taking on any other challenger.
 Jones showed a telegram from T. S. AncrewS of Milwaukee offering Will lard S25,000 for a ten round champion ship match with Fulton in Milwaukee Feb. 22. Unless a better offer is re- ce-Yed, Jones said he will accept An duews' proposition.
 Burns telegraphed to Frank Moran S marager at New York late today of- fe' fpg Moran $7,500 for a fight here w-Il. Willard. Jones said if Moran ac- cepted and if suitable terms for Will lard could be arranged, the champion would meet Moran in New Orleans on March or 6.

President Tener Pleased Over Outcome
 of Peace Meeting.

President John K. Tener of the Ma tional league has returned to his of flee for the first time since the peace agreement was singed in Cincinnati last week, and expressed himself as greatly pleased over the outcome of the negotiations. President Tener said he believed baseball in 1916 would en- joy the greatest season the game has ever known, both from a playing standpoint and from that of attend ance.
 President Tener explained that there would be little or no trouble in the distribution of the Federal league players. They were all declared eligi- ble, and the Federal league will as- sune responsibility for their contracts. The adjustment of their salaries will be a question for the clubs themselves to decide.
 The question as to whether. the Fed eraI league players will be let out of the circuit to which they belong with put first asking waivers from the other clubs will be decided by the National commission at Cincinnati on January
