PLANNING AN ANNEX
FOR CITY HOSPITAL

Whitsitt & Schulzke, architects, are
preparing plans for a new laundry and
heating plant for the Moline public
hospital, to cost approximately $4,000.
The proposed structure will occupy the
site of the old building just south of
the maternity building. 1t will be a
four-story affair with two floors be-
low the grade. The exterior will be
of stucco with tile roof, making it
absolutely freproof. Floors are to be
of reinforced concrete.
Outside dimensions of the building
are 30X36 feet with a 14foot coal room
on the south side. The basement is to
be utilized as boiler room and gar
bage incinerator. Next floor above will
be equipped for laundry room, which
will contain all the latest devices for
laundry purposes. The main floor will
be devoted to quarters for maids, there
being five sleeping rooms on this floor,
and the same number on the top floor
The structure now used as laundry
and heating plant has outlived its use
fulness. Numerous times in the past
few years it has been on fire and re-
Gently it was remodeled at a cost of
several hundred dollars, after fire
which destroyed practically the entire
upper portion of the structure.

BODY OF WATERFOWL
PATIENT RECOVERED

Body Of Edward Krause, IS years
old and an escaped inmate of the Wa
tertown hospital, was dragged from
Rock river, near Colona ferry, late
yesterday Remains were in badly
decomposed state and evidently had
been in the water many days.
krause left the hospital some time
ago and all efforts to locate him were
futile. 1t is thought probable that he
came to Moline and he may have
jumped from the Rock river bridge,
south of here. Remains were taken
to the East Moline undertaking rooms
and an inquest was conducted by Cor
oner R. C. J. Meyer this morning. 3
The unfortunate man is understood
to have father in Peoria, but all eff
forts of hospital authorities to COM
municate with him have failed. Prob
abilities are that krause will be buried
in the hospital cemetery lot.

Indoor Life Makes Fat

People who are confined within doors

blood, so that it is unable to produce
strong muscles and vitality and the
formation of unsightly and unhealthy

If you are Is or 20 pounds above

PULLS DIRK ON COP;
PAYS A $3.50 FINE

An East Moline patrolman yesterday
visited a soft drink parlor conducted
by Steve D. Brotolo for the purpose
of arresting the proprietor on a charge
of selling liquor. Evidence in posses
sion of the police was such that Bro
tolo would probably have escaped with
out a penalty had he not produced a
weapon while being conducted to the
station. From somewhere the man
suddenly whipped out a short dirk,
which was wrested from him by the
officer.
Once at the station the charge
against Brotolo was quickly changed
to that Of carrying concealed weapon.
1t was not much of a trial. Brotolo
realized that he was caught with the
goods and pleaded guilty. The justice
assessed him $3150 for carrying the
knife, and advised him to be careful in
selecting his supply of soft drinks"

storm. The local division sang the
only English song on Tuesdays pro-
gram with exception of The Star Span

SHOOTING VICTIM
At DEATHS DOOR
DR.. ii. S. Bennett Reports That
Nicholas COzarst Will Probably
Not Live Through the Night.
WILL PREFER MURDER CHARGE
Suspected Parties to Be Held to Grand
Jury for Alleged Crime-Sherlh's
Office at Work.

The death of Nicholas Cozrast of
Des Moines, for in the opinion of DR..
H. S. Bennett, attending physician, the
man will not live through tonight, will
in all probabilities develop cases of
first degree murder, suspected parties
to be held to the grand jury on the
charge. The sheriff's office is at
work on the case.
Cozrast was found in the Silvis
yards at 4 Tuesday morning by la
borer on way to his work. He had
been there all through the night. The
shooting, according to his own story,
occurred about Monday evening. He
was attacked by a crowd of MeXicans
who lived in several box cars on the
railroad tracks, he says, and all his
money was taken. Then one of them
deliberately pressed the revolver to
his chest, according to the story, and
pulled the trigger. He was left to die
alone.
The injured man was taken to the
city hospital and was expected, dur
ing the first 4S hours after his arrival
there, to recover. Yesterday the case
took a turn for the worse, however,
and there seems little chance now for
recovery.
Mexicans Held.
Tony Thomas and Mike Nodios, Mex
leans living in a box car near War
ner's crossing. were arrested by East
Moline police the day after the shoot
ing. They are being held in the coun-
ty Jail. 1t is not thought that either
| fired the fatal shot but they are be-
lieved to have knowledge of the affair
and their testimony is expected to be
big factor in tracing the actual muir
derer.
No relatives Of Cozrast's have been
| located in Des Moines, although he
| told hospital attendants that he lived
in that city.
