SCHOOL BOARD PICKS
SIX NEW TEACHERS

The board of education at a meeting
last evening appointed six new teach
ers. Those named are the Misses Alice
Nyquist, Florence Kelly. Margaret
Gamble, Bernice Schall. Mildred
Pearce and Benjamin Miller. Miss
Pearce will serve as an assistant in
the department of domestic science
and Mr. Miller will assume the duties
of athletic director. The others will
become teachers in the grade schools.
A petition from the Seventh street
district residents. asking that the new
school be called the William Carr
building in honor of the man who first
donated the acre of ground upon which
the new building will be situated, was
read. No action was taken by the
board and the matter of deciding upon
a name for t. new school will be de-
ferred till late.
DR.. II. S. Bennett of the supplies
committee gave an explanation CON
corning the letting of printing con-
tracts week ago. His statements
, were 10 the effect that there had been
10 favoritism in letting of contract!
for supplies. Annual report of the
schools is in the course of preparation
and contract for its printing will not
be let until some time in July.

Immediate Action.

An ordinance providing for a spe-

the voters, was adopted by the Silvls
village board last evening. 1t is pro-
posed TO use the money for improve

Fire protection in Silvis has hith-

proved inadequate during the last
year, due TO expansion of the village,
and as result the ordinance providing
for bond issue was drawn by At
tOrney Long. 1t is felt that an auto
truck will be OF assistance in case OF
big fires in the factories, such as the
one which swept the coal chutes in
the shop yards last week, inasmuch as
it can be on the scene some time be-

More Art to America.

Berlin.-The war probably will lead
to the further transfer of EurOpe's art
treasured TO the United States, in the
opinion OF Prof. Wilhelm Won Bode,
general director of the Royal Museum
at Berlin. Prof. Won Bode gives sew
eral reasons: That the war is max
ing great increase in the wealth of
many Americans; and that the break
ing up of several of the great private
collections in America, including that
OF the late j. p. Morgan, and the &C
QUESTION OF many of their choicest pic
lures by public art museums, will tend
strongly TO develop the demand for
good art works. Prof Bode declares
mat IN this way the public collections
OF New York, Boston, Washington and
ohlcago, together with dozens of cities
not yet identified with art in an inter
national sense, will become fully equal
10 those OF European cities.
ms fresh demand for art works in
the United States, Prof, Bode saws will
strike Europe at a time when neonle
on this side will be forced to Sell in
order to get money to pay their debts.
Many fine old pictures now owned nv
private collectors in Europe, and par
ticularly in England, will in this way
find their way across the Atlantic. he

that the powers that be in organized
baseball will slap on another $500 fine,
which will mean that should White
ever lose out at kenosha and again
seek a position in organized baseball
it would cost him $1,000 to get back,
$500 of which would come to the Mo-
line club. He would still be the prop
erty of the local club and before he
could play with any team in any
league, that club would have to pur-
chase his release from the local man
agement.
The inroads of the Jeffery company
into the ranks Of Three-Eye players is
attracting very unfavorable attention
throughout this part of the country.
Rockford had an experience very sim
liar to that here, and the product of
a concern that persuades ball players
to become contract jumpers is not like
ly to gain any popularity throughout
the cities which comprise the Three
Eye circuit.
The local management is indignant
over Whites action, not because Of
any fear that his position at third can
not be take care of, but because his
action was taken practically without
warning, forcing Manager Hughes to
go out and find a third baseman on a
minutes notice.
Contract jumpers are looked upon
with deep disfavor in organized base
ball, for if men disregard contracts
they are likely to cripple a winning
team at a critical point in pennant
race. For this reason contract jump
ers are treated with the utmost sever
ity, and a man who breaks his con-
tract practically closes his future as
baseball player.
The Moline management does not
expect to have great difficulty in filling
Whites place at third. While strong
hitter, Whites hitting has always been
of an erratic nature, and his fielding
has been only fair. Manager Hughes
is giving Schafer a trial and in the
meantime is looking around with tht
idea OF picking up one Of the fastest
infieiders Obtainable, in event Schatel
should fail to make good. He hopes
TO secure a faster fielder than White
and as good. or better, hitter.

Yesterday Morning Tells How He
Was Made a Victim.

Police of Moline today reported, un-
officially, that three watches and near
ly 500 in cash were secured by the
highwayman who held up a Prospect
park car at 1876 yesterday morning.
1t has been said, on good authority, that
the n,otorman and conductor each lost
a gold watch which were not included
in the first list of lost articles, while
Henry Hamp, conductor, is said to
have lost s75 of the companys money
in addition to SIS of his personal prop
.erty
Authorities of the tri-cities are
making every effort to trace the rob-
Der, but they have as yet met with lit
tie success. Description of the man,
given by his victims, is so general that
il is practically worthless in endeav-
ing to trace the man.
Gun damned in His Ribs.
The robbery, one of the boldest ever
perpetrated in this city, took place at
the front end of the car, according to
Herbert Hepburn. one OF the victims.
The conductor was marched to the
front. he said, nd all three were held
there at the point of a revolver. Peter
Swanson. motorman, fell to the floor
in a faint under stress of the excite
ment and the revolver was damned
into Hepburn's ribs several times
when he endeavored to turn and help
| the fallen man.
/ Watches lost by members of the
crew are understood to be valuable
ones.
