athletics, that citizens of Moline get
back of the proposition and raise
moneys to make the improvements,
which are absolutely necessary this
year Colonel kohler's suggestion
was that the money paid in by citi-
zens be considered a loan to the
school athletic association and be paid
back with interest after profits of the
game-of which there is usually at
least 81, 000-at the end of the season.
The proposal has been received with
favor by many persons, however.
improvements needed most urgent
ly at present are the erection of the
bleachers and grandstand Independ-
ent teams of the city, whose mana
gers have already started plans for the
season, would also use these, and 1t
is possible that they may take an
active part in the work of having the
money raised by popular subscription
on the plan outlined by Colonel Koh-
Ter. If such action is not taken it will
be necessary to play games on another

Union, Files Information Charg-
ing Several Violations.

Twenty-Five jitbus drivers operating
between Moline and Rock Island and o
between Moline and Rock Island
and Moline and East Moline were
arrested within the space OF half
an hour last evening. Twenty Of

violation of section of the taxi
cab ordinance, which specifies that
taxi-cab license number and name of

tiers of certain dimension. One arrest
was for violation of the cut-out sec
ton of the ordinance, and one was for
letting passengers board car while

and Sixteenth street The drivers ap-
peared this morning and all cases
were continued till Monday morning
at g. Meanwhile the drivers have OPP
portunity to make their number and
name plates conform with city re-
Quirements.
Beatty Gives Information.
Information against the drivers was
furnished by Clarence Beatty, ex-sec-
rotary of the jitmens union, it is said
at police headquarters. All warrants
are sworn out by officer Sam Stewart,
however Beatty will probably be the
complaining witness if cases are not
dismissed Monday after the men have
changed plates bearing names and
numbers.
Beatty and the union are said to
have been at outs for some time. The
former secretary has been arrested
twice recently. once because he re-
fused TO surrender funds of the union
till there had been an audit of his
books. and the second time on charge
in which a girl less than IA years old
was named.
Section of the ordinance, which
most of those arrested are charged
with violating, provides that name of
the owner of the car shall be in let
tiers one and a half inches high. and
that the taxi-cab license number shall
be four inches in height

New Coach for Maroon and White viii
Arrive in City First Of Septem-
ber-Field is Needed.

With the opening of the football
season in Moline less than three weeks
away. fans in general throughout the
city have commenced inquiring as to
prospects of both professional
and high school teams, and conditions
under which the squads will work.
Actual work OF whipping school ma
terial into shape will begin early in
September and the first games proba-
bly, Will come shortly after the middle
of the month.
BENJAMIN Miller, new coach of the
high school squad, will commence his
work with practically all new mater
ial. most of the M men having either
graduated or left school. Two are
sure to be back but whether more
are on deck when the first call is
sounded is considered doubtful Chal-
mers Seymour is captain.
The new coach comes to Moline
from Elgin, Ill, where he was success
full as an athletic director. He will
be here the first week in September
TO look over the field before startin g
the grind. Miller succeeds John Nc
Cough who left last June for Oregon
after having been here one year.
Question of where the high school
games will be played is still indef1-
mite Surface Of Browning field has
been leveled and the future gridiron
has been encircled by a driveway. No
grandstand or bleachers have been
erected, and as a result of the failure
of the Browning park bond issue to
carry at the polls some time ago mon
ey cannot be raised by the city this
year.

No action has been taken as yet on
the suggestion made some time ago
by Colonel Hjalmar kOhler, dean Of

holders Are Supplied.

With the object of enlisting cooper
alton of residents Of Moline in pre-
venting a coal shortage during the
coming winter, coal dealers of Moline
representative or seven firms
have Joined together in temporary
organization, later to be made perma-
nent.
Unless the situation is met at once,
and preparations for the winters heat
are made by residents of the city, de-
clare the coal dealers, there is danger
Of a coal famine This is due, not so
much to a shortage of coal as to the
difficulty in transporting it. Coal cars
are at a premium in all parts OF the
United States and these will be even
more difficult to secure three months
hence.
Recommendation of the dealers is
that Moliners secure their winter fuel
supplies at once. Hope is to also es-
tablish a uniform scale of credits and
sell more nearly on a cash basis.
Firms which have Joined the organic
alton are Beder Wood, Pillow City Fuel
company, J. Clark & Son, Trachten-
barg Bros. Rock Island Fuel COM
pany, Lundahl Bros. Rufus Walker &
Sons. Mueller Lumber company, and
the Midland Ice & Fuel company.
LundahI Is Chairman.
At the first banquet of the coal deal
ers, held Tuesday evening in the
Campbell hotel, an organization was
formed for social ends, which will be
made permanent. r. H. Lundahl was
elected chairman. Another gathering
will be held the first Tuesday in Sep
TENDER, when plans will be further
discussed.
