REMAIN AWAY FROM
PATROLMAN LEHMAN.
BAREFOOTED FOLKS

Will the police department of Rock
Island become the board of censors to
decree what shall be the styles to be
worn in this city?
Apparently SO. Patrolman Libman
arrested two men for being barefOoted
last night and the entire department
IS scanning the city ordinances to find
out under what section charges can be
preferred. while Emil Hancq, Ninth
street and Fifth avenue, and Louis Vet,
S24 Third avenue, are awaiting a hear
ing tonight on some charge or other
Emil and Louis possess sporting
blood Last night they fell to discuss
ing their individual powers as foot
racers, and after long argument the
point still remained unsettled as to
who is the most feet of foot. Pals sug-
gested race to determine their indi-
vidual speed and a wager resulted
Then the party hied off to Exposition
park, where the contest was to be
staged
Emil removed heavy pair of shoes
when he reached the park He knew
he could run swifter with his boots off.
The race ended with Emil the winner
and the party started from the park
satisfied that the dispute was settled.
AS they were leaving the grounds
Patrolman Libman saw them He saw
Emil walking along barefooted. Pa
trolman Libman thought the matter
over in a short time and came to the
conclusion that it must be against the
peace and dignity of the people of the
great state of Illinois for a man to
walk along barefooted when everybody
else wears shoes. So he made hasty
inquiry and arrested Emil and Louis.
Police released them today on their
own recognizance with instructions to
appear tonight for trial. At last re-
ports no one had found any section in
the city ordinance that prohibits rae
ing or provides that a person must
wear shoes and stockings on the
streets.
Accordingly it looks good for Emil
and Louis.

LIVES OF TWENTY ENDANGERED
Passengers in Vehicles on Third Ave-

Rear-End Collision.

Lives of a score of passengers in
automobiles were endangered and five
machines were damaged when
bridge line street car struck an auto on
Third avenue just east Of Twentieth
street at 10:45 O'Clock last night.
Two versions Of the mishap were re-
ceived today-one from the Trl-Cty
Railway company and another from Il.
L. Coulter. 6IS Second avenue, owner
OF the automobile struck by the car
According to the railway company
report. Mr. Coulter cut in ahead of the
street car which was proceeding west
on Third avenue. 1t is claimed Mr..
Coulter was driving west and tried to
run in ahead of the street car pelhg
struck and skidding into a row OF TOUR
other automobiles.
The version of the accident as told
by Mr.. Coulter and substanuated by
Ben Mitchell. whose car was also
struck, is that a traffic officer on the
intersection Of Twentieth street and
Third avenue had held up the avenue
traffic to permit the passing OF vehicles
on the street. Mr. Coulter declared
that five automobiles, all facing west,
were stopped in row at the corner.
He declared that the bridge line ear
struck his machine.
ShoYes Machines Ahead.
The impact showed his car violently
ahead. crashing into the rear of Mr..
Mitchells car, which in turn struck
the one ahead, each car in the row be-
ing pushed forward.
There were about twenty passengers
in the automobiles. None was injured
save for a shaking up, Mr.. Coulter s
automobile was damaged considerably
as was Mr. Mitchells car, but the other
machines in the row were not as great
ly damaged.

TANCIBLEBENIFITS
BROUGHT TO CITY
Rock Island and Whole Community
Gamer as Result of Celebration
OF Centennial.

+ Without indulging in inyidiOus COM
parsons, it may be asserted that Rock
Island has cheerfully done its part to
make centennial week "a success. That
ii has profited in various ways cannot
be doubted. Most important, per-
haps, is the attention attracted by the
celebration and the advertising that
preceded it. Then there were many
home-comers, estimated at 1900 for
the three cities, who returned to re-
new old acquaintance and to make
new ones. Besides these visitors
thousands Of others came from sur
rounding territory and local business
firms were the gamers.
= A tangible, permanent accession to
the tri-city community is the restored
blockhouse at the west end of the is
land. This will be left where it is
1 q monument which, with a little care
\ should remain till another centennial
anniversary rolls around.
3 And Rock Island has learned some
lessons. One of these is that the time
has come 10 do away with street con
cessions. The city is growing too large
to have distractions Of this kind il
its business thoroughfares, which are
needed for traffic. While effort was
made to cater TO everybody to the enc
that everybody might have a gooG
time, and care was taken to see that
no Objectionable concessions were op-
Grated, it cannot be denied that the
general effect was to cheaper the eel
ebration and detract from its historic
Significance. The people generally
feel that there ought to be an end OF
such things.
Mistakes were made There were
naturally some shortcomings which
human foresight could not avoid, but
on the whole the centennial celebra-
ton has been a notable one and fit
to mark an epoch in the history OF
Rock Island and its sister cities.

had n career in art for thirty yearr,

the students got down to the building
with their materials under their arms
they frequently could not get into the
rooms.

was that most Of the great English
portrait painters were Yankees?
Col. John Trumbull. who was then
painting his representing
Revolutionary history. was represented
by several OF his battle pieces.
The revived Academy had nov come
into such favor that when on October
20. 1916. Gov. Clinton delivered at the
City Hall his splendid address on the
fine arts there gathered n brilliant and
distinguished as<emblage. Officers OF
the army and navy. represe natives OF
the national Government and Of the
State, the Mayor OF the city, physi-
clans. clergymen and lawyers, all who
represented the wealth and the culture
OF the metropolis we're included in the
audience.
The Governor said in his address
that the time had come In this country
when II was fully recognized that
there vas nothing in our institutions
which was unfriendly to the aesthetic
impulses. He drew upon the traditions
Of the past and adorned his eloquence
with rich imagery.
The directors OF the American Acad-
envy, relying on the interest which had
been stimulated, went ahead with
plans as though they had already an
assured income. The catalogue. which
was printed in 1917, shows how well
established they considered the acad-
envy. Among its honorary members
was Napoleon ~Bonaparte, who had pre-
sc nted a set OF the classic etchings Of
Piranesi. Lucien Bonaparte was also
on the list and he had given to the
academy a series Of engravings.
Among the honorary members were
such American artists as BENJAMIN
West, John Singleton Copley and Rem
brandt Peale. Letters OF congratulate
tions were received from leaders in art
and literature throughout the world.
Even at this period came a rift In
the lutte, however. At first It was only
a little crack, but II grew and grew.
The American Academy vas essen

the secretary, one OF the most far
sighted and diplomatic of the found
ers, sought to avert the trouble which
was developing. but he could do little.
for there now came into the hoard the
dominating personality Of Col. John

member.
Mr.. Clinton resigned the presidency
In his favor. Colonel Trumbull had

n was a man Of striking personal
appearance and naughty manner
The artists of the day were few and
social prestige was hardly within their
reach. Then the American Academy
was a stock company, the shares of
which were Of the value of 500 each.
The membership was limited to 500.
To qualify for membership one had 70
have "A share OF stock. Althourr-Thc
members generally professed to know
little of art. there were some of them
who painted in their leisure and even
essayed to exhibit,
The artists were deeply offended by
a rule promulgated by the Academy as
soon as 1t began to feel the oats of
success:
"All artists Of distinguished merit
shall be permitted to exhibit their
work. Amateurs shall be invited to
expose any OF their performances in
the gallery of the Academy"
The distinction between permit" and
Invite" was more than high spirited
painters could bear and there was
started a movement to bring the Acad-
envy more under the control of the
artistic temperament. The directors
were opposed to that idea from the
start.
ARTISTS" said n OF them, ARE not
Mt to manage an academy. They are
always quarrelling-Col. Trumbull SAYS

1t developed that the Colonel was op-
posed to any OF his own profession get
ting on the board Of directors, and he
did not desire any school in connection
with the Academy. II was the idea OF
such men as Pintard that the casts
should be used az models In drawing.
They saw before them an era like that
Of tho italian Renaissance, when at old
