IN MOLINE LODGES

Moline was represented at the meet
ing Of the Viking Old Home associa-
ton In Chicago yesterday, by Hjalmer
Widell, who went in interest of Thor
lodge No. g. The local man reports
that plans are being made to push the
work Immediately and expectation is
that the home will be in running order
within short space of time. Situated
as it is, five miles out of Chicago, ma
tural conditions are the best possible
for the home and property recently
acquired by the order is of the best.
Purchase was made two years ago and
since that time the home has not been
opened for its ultimate purpose-that
of providing a place for veteran mem
bers of the lodge to live. Both Viking
auxiliaries and the lodge here are &C
lively interested in the move.
Weekly business meeting Of Frid-
hem lodge No. IS, I. o. G. T., was held
in Swedish Olive hall Saturday even
ing. A social was enjoyed, routine
business transacted, and plans in gen
eral were discussed.

when Frank Anderson, acknowledged
murderer of Roy LennoX, took the
stand and recalled the clouded exist

the door of the penitentiary. For fully
so minutes the prisoner stood befol :
Judge Graves, experimenting his con-
fession of guilt with a vivid sketch of
his life from boyhoOd TO the present
time. The story was a clean cut,
straight forward narrative related by
the defendant without show of emotion
except during the description of that
part which had to do with his fatal
attack upon former companion.
As Anderson's arraignment was not
publicly announced, there was not a
large number of persons in the court
room when he was taken from his cell
in the county Jail and introduced into
court There were some persons, how

LABOR IS ADVISED
BY MOTHER JONES
Noted Woman Urges People Should
Help Alleviate the Suffering Here
Rather Than Those in Europe
TERMS EMPLOYERS "PIRATES'

Address Before Large Crowd in
Family Theatre in Moline.

The Family theatre in Moline was
filled to overlooking with men and
women of all ages when Mother"
Jones, known throughout the nation
as the friend of the labor unions, ap-
peared yesterday afternoon to make
her first address to an audience in that
city.
Those in charge of the meeting found
it necessary to place extra chairs in
the boxes to accommodate the throng
which kept pouring into the building
and finally several hundred people
| were led around to the back door off
the alley and admitted to the stage,
where chairs had been placed for them.
For the larger part the audience was
| comprised of men affiliated with va
rious labor organizations. People of
all classes, however, were present
with the intention, no doubt, Of seeing
the heroine of the Colorado strike.
John Walker, president of the Hi
nois state organization Of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, was on the
stage with Mother" Jones and before
she was introduced, he addressed the
audience.
! Various opinions of Mother" Jones
were expressed after the meeting.
That she is perfectly sincere in all
her beliefs, no one doubted. That she
has all the bravery she is reputed to
possess and the energy and vitality of
a young woman, in spite of her 81
years, no one doubted after seeing and
hearing her. To many her utterances
appeal as too radical, a too deep-seat-
ed dislike for law and order with no
discrimination made between the hon
est official and judge and the dishon-
est official and judge.
Flags Capitalism.
For capitalism, she has no use what
ever. Employers of labor were usually
referred to by her as "high-class burg
lars or high class pirates" 'Scabs
were called the most dangerous class
the world has to contend with. They
are worse than capitalists, Mother
Jones declared; are men without man
hood, women without womanhOod
Churches and church workers were
flayed, as were the men and women
who participated in or encouraged the
Ford peace expedition. The militia. OF
military. as she expressed it, using
the parlance of the miners, and the
judiciary were attacked, one as muir
derers, the other as corrupt, and both
as being the servants of capitalism

clared Mother Jones. Never in all
history has there been such a spirit
| of rebellion and revolt among the peo-
pie"
