SALOON BRAWLIS
ENDED BY POLICE
II, Ditch Draws knife on Bill Franks,
But Is Released When Latter
Fails to Appear.

A saloon brawl in which there was
knife play was stopped by the Rock
Island police in Fifth avenue bar
last night. The wielder of the wea-
pom was released today without trial
He gave the name of H. Ditch. He
was with John Breeder. After enter
ing the saloon he accosted Bill Franks.
An old feud between the two was re
vived and Ditch drew a knife, police
said Other men in the bar tussled
with the two and prevented bloodshed.
Franks told Policeman Kell, who
arrested Ditch and Breeder, that he
would appear against them today He
failed to do so. Authorities then de-
cided to let the pair go. They were
ordered to leave the city.
Nathan Silverstein was arrested last
night when Mrs. Silverstein called the
police and told them that he was both
ering her She told the officers totake
him to his room. The Silversteins
have separated and there is divorce

of being scrupulously clean in body
and habit. Most of them carry in their
minds SO deep-seated horror of the
filth of the Russian and Serb fronts
that the opportunity to use soap and
water is fully appreciated by them.
OF the thousands of Russians and
Serbs the Associated Press correspond
ent saw on a recent trip through Hun
gary and Austria but very few who had
neglected themselves, and their quar-
tiers everywhere had spic and span
ness which no orders from the guards
could have produced. Austro-Hunga-
rian officers assured the correspondent
that the cleanliness and orderliness ex-
hibited was spontaneous and inherent
with the men.
The Austro-Hungarians have been
very mild in their treatment of the
men. The best understanding exists
as a rule, and what little trouble the
prisoner of war has given is mostly
due to his Discrimination to work for,
or under, a civilian. The soldiers
psychology is such that as a prisoner
of war he prefers to remain under mil
itary control.

After he had received several drinks
in the saloon, Fisher fell asleep there,
it is alleged. Arthur DeLoof is propri-
etor of the saloon. He was not there
and DeGreve was in charge.
When Fisher fell asleep he was
thrown out of the back door. In drunk
en- anger he went to a nearby coal yard,
picked up a large chunk of coal, stag
gered back and hurled it through the
rear window.
Then he staged inside after it.
When he picked it up he was seized
and the chunk of coal was taken away
from him.
Drunk as he was, he was helpless in
the hands of a sober man. Conse-
quently there was no more danger of
his doing any more harm. But instead
of turning him over to the police, the
bartender started to beat him.

his mouth, eyes and nose, was being
