TICKET SALE HEAVY
FOR ENTERTAINMENT

Thursday of this week brings The
Last Day of SchoOl"-not for the
young people of Rock Island who at
tend the city schools, but for the null
titude of people who are buying tick
cts for the Old-fashiOned school en-
tertainment which is to be offered at
Broadway Presbyterian church. The
mems class and the Deborah class. the
latter an organization of Young wo-
men in Broadway Sunday school, are
collaborating in the production of this
classic. The management has been
rather seCretive about the intimate de-
tails of the program. but information
has leaked out to the effect that a
prominent and well known citizen is
to appear as the teacher, and that W.
B. Mcintyre, as chairman of the
school board, will present the diplom-
as to the graduating class in a few
well chosen words.
1t is commonly reported that the
program will be the funniest thing
offered in Rock Island this year, and
there is good reason to suspect that
this report is well founded. The
young folks who are selling tickets re-
port a large advance sale, indicating
big crowd for both nights The
proceeds of the entertainment will be
devoted to improving the church kitch-

JURY rs SILENT AS
TO GRADE CROSSINGS

The coroner's jury which Saturday
afternoon inquired into the death of
Tomo Gerarimuk made no recon-
mendation in regard to removal of
grade crossings in Moline. An open
verdict of death by injuries incurred
when struck by an eastbound Rock Is
land train No. 234 at the Eighth street
crossing, Moline, was returned. In
quest was conducted by DR.. R. C. J.
Meyer in the Danielson & Furgie par
lors
Gerarimuk was coming down the
hill at fair rate Of speed, according
to evidence brought out by witnesses
The train was moving about fifteen
miles an hour, it was established
Neither motorcycle rider nor engineer
saw the other, apparently, until too
late to avert the crash.
Expectation of a number of persons
had been that the jury would make
some statement in regard to removal
of grade crossings in Moline, follow
ing example at two previous inquests
into railroad deaths. Fact that the
train was not travelling at an excess
sive rate of speed and that the gates
were down, according to statement of
the railroad officials, seemed to make
this uncalled for in opinion Of the
| jury.
Funeral for the third victim of a
railroad accident in Moline in IS hours
was held yesterday morning, Rev. R.
S. Haney officiating. Burial was in
Riverside cemetery.
! All efforts to locate relatives of
| Harris Davis, who was struck by a
mail train in East Moline Friday morn
/ ing, have failed. The coroner is con-
/ Quoting an investigation at present
! but stated this morning that nothing
definite had been ascertained Davis
gave the name of a woman in Cedar
/ Rapids as that of his mother just be-
/ fore he died Friday morning. ]. F.
Rose of Moline communicated with the
woman, but found that she was not
related to the young man. Remains
are being held at the Rose & Barnard
rooms.
Verdict returned by the coroner
jury after the inquest, conducted Sat
urday evening was an open one-that
Davis met his death by being struck
/ by train on the Rock Island tracks.

hind the village
Two fresh divisions attacked Dead
Mans hill while the assault was in
progress near Cumeries. To aid the
manuevre an attack was simultan-
eously made on the east bank of the
Meuse in the region Of Champ Neu-
le-Vacherauville. The few hundred
men who has succeeded in penetrat-
ing the ravine were left on the field
after the action proved unsuccessful.
German Losses Enormous.
A third attack at the same time was
delivered on a position strongly Or
ganized by the French. northeast of
Avocourt, the object seemingly being
to drive in the French far enough to
turn Hill 304 which lies 500 wards
south and constitutes what is char
acterized as the Gibraltar in the
French line in that district. This at
tack met with more success than the
others but after the Germans had sue
ceeded in getting a footing at some
points in the first trenches the French
counter attacked and the net results
for the Germans was an increase in
their losses from the French bayonets
1t is stated that at the close of the
day the French held exactly the same
position as at the beginning of the at
| tack.
The German losses are again said to
be on the basis of so per cent of the
electives engaged and the>s include a
considerable proportion of the Ger

the ability of the high command. The
attack is stated to have been one Of
the most determined of the great
blows delivered since the battle began
80 days ago and yet it yielded the
least results of any of them, although
the crown prince hurled two whole
army corps against the French along
a 10-mile front.
AS Bethincourt formed a dangerous
salient, its excavation had been ex-
pected for some time and many mill
tary observers long ago criticized its
retention. General Petain's unerring
judgment in letting it go at exactly
the right moment is now highly
praised While of little value to the
French, it is of almost none TO the
Germans as it is located in a hollow
commanded by French guns on all
sides, out of which it is practically
impossible for them to debauch.
Try New Tactics.
Abandoning the new open forma-
ton and the lately established prac-
tice of night attacks, the Germans
yesterday engaged two army corps in
dense masses against the positions
northwest of Verdun between Avo-
court and Cumieres.
Forces numbering at least a divis-
ion and a half charged the line be-
tween Avocourt and Bethincourt
They approached within a hundred
yards of the French trenches and
seemed insensible to the fact that hun
dreds Of their men were falling by the
way, but Notwithstanding their cour-
age and the weight of their masses
they were stopped. There was a
deadline beyond which they could not
j pass.
| When the attacking columns were
thinned out by artillery and machine
gun fire so that a reformation became
necessary, the order to retire was
given. Twice were they obliged to fill
up the gaps in their ranks but none
of their three onslaughts shook the

erably strengthened in the region OF

forces from the dangerously exposed

When the Rock Island municipal
commission met at the city hall this
afternoon 1t was ready to consider and
adopt an ordinance providing for clos
ing saloons and cafes in Rock Island
at II o'clock al night. Nine hundred
dollar license fees for saloons and 5000
license fees for wholesale liquor deal
ers are also provided in the measure
The ordinance was drawn by City At
torney j. X. Scott and incorporates
provisions decided upon by the munic-
ipal commission at secret meeting it
held Thursday.
That the commission would not only
consider the ordinance but adopt it al
the same session was admitted by COM
missioners today. The usual proceed
ure with most ordinances is to vote tC
consider at first reading and adopt al
second a week later. The law. how
ever, provides that in cases where
there are no OBJECTIONS advanced
adoption may be voted at first reading
but to make the ordinance effective the
vote must be unanimous
BY closing the saloons at II O'Clock
the commission is reducing the time

ent closing time is u o'clock, one hour

The commission several months age

JitbuS Driver With Record OF Acci-

HAS ANOTHER COLLISION HERE
Runs Into Car on Fifth Avenue. Just Il
Week After Being Arrested for
Similar Ofiense.

Gus Nicholas, who can't or won't
talk English, is not making any mon
ey in the jitbus business. It's not
that Gus fails as linguist that makes
business poor. but that as a mechani-
clan around jitbusses, and as a chauf-
feur. Gus is zero in efficiency Gus is
in bad with Rock Island police author
tiles again.
Saturday night at the corner of
Twenty-fourth street and Fifth ave-
nue., Rock Island, he ran his jitbus
into car owned and operated by 8.
H. Peterson, 2019 Vine street, Daven-
port. Gus was arrested All of which
recalls the episode of the Saturday
| night of the week before, when opera
ting between Rock Island and Daven-
port, his auto bumped into a bridge
line car on Third avenue, backed out
from the street car and into another
automobile, damaging it.
That put him in bad with the police.
Guards on Arsenal island then got
next to Gus and barred him from driv-
| ing his car on the government drive
which made it impossible for Gus to
continue between Rock Island and
| Davenport. Not to be outdone by
| bothersome authorities, he hit upon
the idea of entering the Rock Island
Moline jitbus field, which he did last
week.
He was nabbed by Patrolman Berry
after the accident Saturday night and
was held at the police station until
today, when he was arraigned and
fined S. and costs on a charge of vio-
lating the motor vehicle laws He
professed ignorance of the English
language and talked through an in
terpreter Of Greek.

Wholesale Fee $500.
Two hundred dollar license fee for
the wholesale dealer, as it is under
stood is provided in the ordinance. is
the sum first advocated by Mayor Nc
Conochie when he suggested an ordi-
nance TO regulate wholesale liquor
houses in Rock J last fall In the
ordinance which was adopted at that
time the fee was reduced to $50.
Commissioners interviewed today re-
manned silent concerning the provis-
ions in the new ordinance and whether
or not other regulations will be con-
tanned in the measure could not be as
certained 1t was stated at the city
hall that the commission would unani-
mously adopt the ordinance.

Hires q Chauffeur.

That's not the bad part of it. Po-
lice Magistrate Smith ordered Gus to
get a mechanician or chauffeur be-
fore he would permit him to take the
automobile He ordered Gus to en-
ploy competent driver if he intended
continuing in the jitbus business,
Chauffeurs' salaries are high, the
jitbus business is not any too lucra-
tive, and Gus is up against it, but is
working his wits in hopes of again
gathering in the nickels.
