FAMILY THEATRE rs
CROWDED TO DOORS

Sunday was a great day for Uno
Bradley, manager of the Family theat-
er, Moline's vaudeville house Incl
dentally it marked the opening of the
theater for this season. All three per-
formances of the day found the theater
crowded to utmost capacity giving
proof that Moline people want vaude-
vile.
In past seasons the house has suf-
fered for the want of proper manage
ment. Last year the place was closel
under pressure and it had seemed that
the one time popular playhouse was
doomed to a season of inactivity this
year. But Mr.. Bradley came to the
rescue. Rejecting tempting contracts
offered by New York agencies. for he
is performer of well known merit, he
leased the Family being convinced
that Moline and Rock Island people
will support a theater that offers
shows of high standard.
But word as to the bill for the first
half of this week. 1t is a clean, snap
ply show. At the different perform
ances yesterday the acts met with
much applause and Mr.. Bradley prom

MAYOR rs VICTIM OF
PECULIAR ACCIDENT

Mayor NJ. r. Carlson figured in pc
culiar accident Sunday. The official
had stepped into the police garage at
the rear of the city hall and became
engaged in conversation with Patrol
Driver Axel Johnson. The police Off
Ger made comment about the size of a
manhOle under the drain pipe. The
mayor investigated. His honor squat
ted down beside the edge of the hole
to peer within. He couldn't see very
well, so he lit a match A match is a
very poor thing to light in a manhoIe.
There is likely to be sewer gas waiting
for chance to go off.
The fact that the mayor was wear
ing eye glasses saved his eyes from in

losing his eyebrows and eyeIashes.

SPORT GOSSIP

For the first time in two years the
Illini baseball team of this city failed
TO score a run and was shut out by
Silvis, TO 0. The game was played
in Silvis before a large gathering of
fans. Felix pitched a good game, two
errors allowing two Silvis runners to
cross the platter, while a timely
double over third base by Spangler
put two more over. Spangler twirled
great game, allowing only two
hits. Hughes in left field for Silvis
robbed the Illini of several extra base
hits by sensational catches.

N. Y. HERALD TELLS
OF WIMAN'S PLUNGE

The plunge to earth in an army BIZ
plane taken by Charles Deere Wiman
of this city and another army student
aviator off Governors island in New
York last week was witnessed by
thousands of people, according to an
account appearing in the New York
Herald The Herald's account follows;
Two young men, students preparing
for service in the aero reserve corps.
were dashed to earth at Governors is
land and severely injured when their
biplane took a spectacular drop that
thrilled and Mortified thousands of per-
sons on board ferryboats in the bay
and at the battery. The injured men
are ]. Walter Struthers, of No. At West
Seventy-third street, who was plotting
the machine, and Charles D. Wiman,
of Moline, Ill. Their aeroplane, a 90
horsepower Curtiss tractor, was de-
stroyed.
M Struthers and Mr. Wiman had
been flying for more than Is minutes,
cutting dips and spirals above the is
land, at an altitude of 700 feet, when
spectators saw the biplane begin a
graceful spiral dive, which after sew
eral turns became very steep. Accounts
of the accident then differ. Army off,
y
heard a sharp defamation, which would
indicate that the gasoline tank ex-
plodeU. Other spectators. who did not
hear the explosion, simply saw the BIZ
plane suddenly begin to drop, as if the
sharpness of the angle upon which
it was banked caused itsh wings to
lose their grip on the air.
AT any rate, the biplane came drop
ping like a plummet and dashed to the
ground, burying the aviators beneath
its debris. Soldiers and mechanicians
fastened to it. but it was Is minutes
before the battered forms of the two
men were released. The mechanism OF
the tractor was buried three feet be-
meath the surface, so great was the
force of the impact.

CLOSE LECTURES
ON CITIZENSHIP
Foreigners of East Moline Receive
Last Lesson in Preparation for
Government Examination.
EXPECT MANY WILL QUALIFY
Speakers Before Class of Yesterday
Afternoon Explain Postal Laws
and Workings of Legislature.

Foreigners of East Moline who will
make an effort to secure naturalization
papers this month yesterday received
information concerning postal laws of
the United States and the postal saw
ings bank when final meeting of the
training for citizenship" class was
held in the Ross building. Frank l..
Rogerson of the Moline postofflce was
the speaker on this subject, while S. E.
Long, East Moline, attorney, spoke on
Congress and Its Duties"
With yesterdays addresses the class
work, which has been conducted under
direction of the Y. NJ. c. A. industrial
extension committee, was brought to a
close. Practically all foreigners in
East Moline who expect to make an
effort to qualify for citizenship this
month have taken advantage of the lee
ture course and it is believed that at
least so per cent will pass with cred
liable averages. A mock examination,
which will probably be held next Sun
day, will be the final preparation for
the government tests.
Courses conducted by the extension
committee both in Moline and East
Moline have been unique inasmuch as
the impression method has been used
entirely in instruction. \ series of adj
dresses, two at each weekly gathering
have been given on phases of govern.
ment which those expecting to pass the
examinations should be familiar with,
and il is believed that the information
impaired in these has been sufficient
to assure a majority of class members
passing with good averages.
Mr.. Rogerson, in his address yester-
day, explained workings of the postal
laws and showed how vitality these are
connected with the commercial life of
every firm and business man. as we'll as
with each citizen individually. He also
explained the intricate details of the
system and made a strong plea for
use of the postal savings bank On the
part of those about to become citizens.
Attorney Long explained the legisla-
tive department of the United States
government and told of the powers of
congress in enacting laws. He also
explained relation of the legislative
department to the executive and Judi
cial, and showed the relation of the
three.
