PAPPAS IN JAIL;
POLICE RELIEVED
Authorities No End of Trouble Dur
ing Last Three Months.
HIS OFFENSEs ARE NUMEROUS
Magistrate Finally Sends Him to COun-
ty InstiutiOn-Makes Trip on OFF,
GER Negley's Motorcycle.

It was with a sigh of relief that Mo-
torcycle Patrolman Negley of the Mo-
line police force stopped his motor
cycle in front of the county Jail in
Rock Island this morning, and assisted
a man who had ridden on the rear seat
of the machine to the sidewalk and
then into the sheriff's sanctum.
The man was Jim Pappas, driver of
a jitbus in and out of Moline. During
the last three months Pappas has prob
ably caused the local police more trou-
Bile than any other motorist ever did
in the same length of time.
That was why Negley sighed. He
knew that once he had Pappas into the
sheriff's Office he wouldn't have any
more trouble with him for at least five
days, for he had with him a mittimus
signed by Magistrate Frank Gustafson
which assured PappaS of five days
free residence in the county Jail.
Pappas has been arrested this sum-
mer under practically every section in
te Moline traffic ordinance, although
his chief offense has been that of
speeding He has been taken for load
ing passengers in the middle of the
street, however, and on various other
charges. On top of this, it is said he
faces numerous civil actions on the
part of owners of other machines
which have been run into by the ire
pressible Jim.
May Withdraw License.
This morning, after Magistrate Gus
tafson had decreed that Jim should go
to Jail, Negley refused to take any
chances that Jim might not arrive
there. He didn't actually think that
Axel Johnson, the patrol driver, might
develop a soft heart and let Jim loose
to bother him some more but he wasn't
going to take any risks at all So in
stead of going to Jail in proper style in
the patrol, Jim went on the rear seat
of Negley's motorcycle. Police stated
today that they would recommend that
Pappas be relieved of his chauffeur's
license.
