creased to 26, the names Of H. B. Nc

there is patriotism among the bust

little effort to have it asserted
When Captain r. E. Willis started out
to, interest local men in the work OF
building up a new military organiza-
ton, he expected to get five good
workers, each of whom would accoun,
for one sergeant, two corporals and
IA privates. Encouraged in his at
tempt, he decided not to stop at that
number, but to go ahead and add as
many more as possible Now with q
substantial men behind the project
results are bound to come.

CONFIDENT CHANGE
IN RATE WILL COME

Confident of ultimate victory in the
city councils battle with the Peoples
Power company for lower rates on gas
and electricity in Moline, Mayor NJ. r.
Carlson and City Commissioners Stout
fer Macbeth, Ericsson and Johnson re-
turned to Moline from Chicago last
night.
While the hearing yesterday was an
informal one, the city commissioners
feel that City Attorney Johnston and
Attorney Stevens. special rate lawyer
retained by the city, have made good
beginning and that the public utilities
commission will, before many months
have passed, have established rates
that are fair and just to both the con-
sumers and to the company as well.
The commissioners feel assured that
these rates will be considerably lower
than the rates now existing, and lower,
too, than the rates offered some time
ago by the company.
The commissioners are not asking
for any specified rates. They have
petitioned that the lowest possible
rates on both gas and electricity be
granted to consumers living in the
city Of Moline

-four SENSELESS
| FROM FIRE CASES
Women Overcome in Residence at 40
Eleventh Street During Friday
Afternoon.
FUMES FOUND TO BE ODORLESS
One After Another Falls to Floor. Doc
tor Calling in NeighbOrs to
Give Him Assistance.

Coal gas, absolutely odorless, yester
day caused four women at AIS Elev-
enth street, to fall senseless to the
floor. 1t was only after DR.. Evlan Sar-
gent had worked over them consid-
cradle length of time that the women
were pronounced to be out of danger.
The case illustrates danger of slow
fire in the furnace these spring days,
when every householder debates
whether there should be any fire at all.
DR.. Sargent received a telephone
call during the noon hour yesterday to
hurry to Ais Eleventh street. He was
| told that a woman apparently was
| dying
The doctor hurried to the address
given and found the woman in charge
of boarding house at that number
rigid on the floor, and three other Wom-
en-, one a visitor from Davenport and
the other two neighbors, anxiously
awaiting his arrival.
! While he was working over the first
woman the visitor from Davenport fell
senseless to the floor Then he had
two patients on his hands. He sent the
remaining two women for glasses of
water and on their return the third
one fell to the floor Then he had
three patients to look after
Events were occurring so rapidly
that the doctor had little time for in
vestigation and his quickly-drawn con-
clusion was that the second and third
victims had tainted under stress and
excitement of the situation.
But moment later, when his last
remaining helper, woman wonder
fully robust, fell to the floor, he real
lied that he was facing a difficult sit
uation. A man entered the house at
that moment, boarder at the place
and the doctor asked him to summon
other neighborhood women to aid him
in ministering to the four unconscious
women.

had only came to East Moline few
hours before the accident strengthens
the idea that he may be Putney.
With his dying breath the man pick
ed up from beside the Rock Island
tracks four weeks ago gasped out the
names of two Cedar Rapids women
who were, he is understood to have
said by hospital attendants, his moth
er and sister. Mrs. Nellie Davis and
Miss Ethel Davis are understood to
be the names. Davis told them to the
attendants and then fell back dead.
Deny Knowing Him.
Investigation proved that there were
two women by the names mentioned
living in Cedar Rapids. Even if de-
lirious, it is evident that the unfor-
tunate man, whoever he was, knew
something of the women and had their
names correct. Both denied knowing
him. however, when Moline authori-
ties communicated with them. Wheth-
er this peculiar incident viii play any
part in the connecting of Harry Davis
and Arthur Putney is not known,
Coroner R. c. j Meyer took an in
ventory of the clothing Davis had on
when the accident occurred, before
burial, and these data may prove of
value in tracing down the new phase
of the case.

gren represented a Swede who had

various nationalities represented. Mrs.
Blomgren wore as hat one that had
been worn at a wedding in Sweden
some 30 years ago and it created much
comment from the fair sex particu-
larry. Mrs. Al Youngren made a good
old lady, in fact all the makeups were
splendid.
Five hundred was the specified diver
sion OF the evening and in the series of
games prizes went to Mrs. Fred Mo-
