STATE INSURANCE
TEAM IS WINNER
Take Seven-Inning Game From
Labor and Industry De-
partment Players

Seven innings of bloodthirsty base
ball were played at Island Park yes
terday afternoon between teams from
the State Insurance Fund Department
and the Department of Labor and In
dustry. With the aid of Jacob Light
ner, director of the bureau of employ
ment of the Labor and Industry De-
partment, the Insurance Fund team
won, score to 8. Darkness, stif
joints and sore hands prevented the
finish of the game. The result was
very unsatisfactory because of failure
TO play out the nine innings. To-day
purses are being planned for a sec
ond game.
The money will be posted before the
close of the week and date an
nounced.
Capitol Is Deserted
When o'clock was announced by
the clocks on Capitol Hill yesterday,
every department was deserted.
Crows We're seen vending their way
to Island Park. The game was the
talk on Capitol Hill for weeks. The
fair sex was not excluded from the
gossip and they were a big army
of rooters yesterday. They had no
particular team as favorite, but picked
out players on each teams for special
cheers and applause.
1t was a regular pitchers battle for
three innings, when Dick, of the Labor
and Industry Department made an
aeroplane ascension.
Errors back of him at third base
and other places helped. "Bill' Rid

New York, May II. - One of the
daily features of the Polo Grounds
these days is the stomach glide, rend-
cred by Roy Hartzell. 1t is an added
attraction, placed into the program
since the ancient Roy has supplanted
Frank Gilhooley in right field. Each
day at least once during the game
Hartzell makes a running start from
deep right, takes an old-fashioned
belly-bumper, slides along about a
dozen feet on his stomach and then
catches the ball off a blade of Fabian
reared and nurtured grass.

MEAT TAKES ANOTHER JUMP

Fifteen to twenty per cent advances
in the prices of fresh meats in the last
year, and a further jump in view was
noted yesterday by local dealers after
they received notice of an advance of
75 cents per hundred pounds on all
kinds of meat. Whether the increases
that are expected will be made in the
near future or not the retailers are
unable to say at present.

THOUSANDS KNIGHTS
TO COME IN AUGUST

Delegations from Cuba, Porto Rico,
Panama, Mexico, Canada, Newfound-
land, and from every state in the union
will be in attendance" said James A.
Flaherty, the supreme knight of the
Knights of Columbus, yesterday, while
discussing the national convention Of
the order to be held in Davenport,
Aug 1, 2 and 3.
The 1900 councils of the order are
distributed in all these countries and
states he continued. I'VE also have
councils in the Philippines and last
year we organized in Alaska, but on
account of the vast distance delegates
would have to travel l do not expect
representation from these divisions Of
the United States.
1T is difficult to estimate Just what
attendance will be at Davenport next
fall. In Boston one year we had 25,-
600 people registered The st. Paul
gathering attracted some 5000, the
smallest attendance on record in later
years. I expect that Davenport and
the tri-cities will attract larger num-
Der of the Knights and their ladies'
than st. Paul, at least 1000 or 5000
and possibly 10000. The tri-cities are
better located from point Of access
than st. Paul. Then, too. Iowa alone
has membership Of $4,000 and ILL

Holtzberg officiated at the services

Rabbi Holtzberg is attending the

From now until that time he will come
to Davenport and conduct services
on every other Friday night with the
understanding that if it is possible he
may be able to put in the entire month
of May in Davenport. He accepts this
pulpit in the face of much more
lucrative offer from Brooklyn, but be-
cause of his desire to start his career
away from home and in a small city
where there is more work for him to
do. He comes to Davenport with con-
siderable reputation as an orator. hav-
ing won the prize for oratory last year

also vocalist and an athlete. The

COUNCIL PASSES
PAVING PROJECT
East Moline Council Passes Ordinances
Which Provide for Pavement on
Two Th0rOughfareS.

Two paving misunderstanding
an outlay Of $20,901-were passed by
the East Moline city council at it's
semi-monthly meeting last evening.
First is for paving Eleventh street,
from Fifteenth avenue to Fourteenth,
across the tracks, running north, and
will cost S15035, while the second was
a S5,S66 project for paving Fifteenth
avenue northeast from Twelfth to
Thirteenth streets. This surrounds a
peculiarly shaped piece of land and
will reach about one block.
Both ordinances call for brick pave
ment with a concrete base and as
phalt filler. Expectation is that work
will be pushed Immediately upon COM
mencement of favorable weather.
Both improvements have been under
consideration for some time.

notify the Tri-City Railway company
to have all cars stop on the near side
! of the street. This is to make East
Moline confirm with that in Moline,

total membership of the order at the
present time is $4,000, so that my es-

general committee and l am confident,
in view of the arrangements in con-
temptation that the hotels of Daven-

the local knights offering their own

However, it is probable that next year
a two years course in bookkeeping
will be offered, so that the students
will have more opportunity to take ad-
vantage of Mr.. ellis arrangement. It
is the first time in the history of the
school that such an extensive system
has been had in the course and it is
thought that the extra half year may
be necessary for this reason.

PROPOSE RADICAL
CHANGES IN CODE
Ordinance is Submitted by COntrac-
tors to Mayor McCOnOchie For
His Consideration.
WOULD CREATE A NEW OFFICIAL
Provides for City Superintendent Of
Building. Demanding Technical
Qualifications.

Radical changes over the present
building code of the city of Rock Is
land is proposed in a new and more
comprehensive ordinance submitted
yesterday to Mayor McConochie by
local contractors
An idea of the extent of the propos-
ed measure may be gained by the fact
that it covers so large typewriter
pages and has so chapters. 1t is pos
sibly twice the size of the ordinance
at present in force and gives more
attention to details.
Principal provisions in the propos-
ed code are:
Creating the Office of municipal SUI
perintendent Of building.
A larger and more detailed method
of keeping records.
More rigid inspection of buildings
in course Of construction.
Joint inspection by superintendent
and plumbing inspectors on compile
ton of building.
Increase in fees for permits.
Strict regulation on quality and
strength of materials used.
Rules governing classification, build
ing line, unsafe structure, removal,
wrecking and reconstruction of build
ings, preliminary work, building speci-
fications, special structures, ventilat-
ing, elevators, miscellaneous parts OF
buildings, fire prevention, signs and
billboards, heating and general con-
ditions
Would Replace Inspector.
The superintendent of building I'M
der the provisions of the proposed
ordinance would replace the building
inspector. Additional qualifications
would be demanded in the new Office.
Applicants would have to be versed as
architect, structural or civil engineer,
general contractor or superintendent
of building with at least 10 years ex-
perience in order to be considered
for the position.
Mayor McConochie said today that
he intended studying both the present
code in force and the proposed ordin-
ance. He stated that he hopes to note
the differences between the two and
will compare them carefully.
