To Honor MOsIemS.

London-To the many architectural
beauties of London will be added after
the war a grand mosque in memory
of the Moslems who have fallen in
the war on the side of the allies.
The work Of raising funds for its
erection is in the hands of Lord Head
ley. who embraced Mohammedanism
three years ago and is a devout mem
Der Of the faith. He has raised even
now a large sum toward his object,
but perhaps Will obtain twice the sum
now available before the building will
begin
In the records of the Mohammedan
faith Lord Headley is described as
"Saifurrahman Shaikhi Rahmahillah
Faroog," which is a title of highly
omplimentary nature. Lord Headley
has always had a reputation as an
enthusiast, and this he is maintaining
in his new religion. In his younger
DAYS he was the best boxer at Cam
bridge, having won the middleweight
and the heavyweight honOrs. He is a
civil engineer. a former editor and a
large land owner in Ireland.

ASKS FOR PEACE
President Ii Yuan Hung Makes Strong
Appeal to Rebel Chiefs to End
Strife in Country.

Picking. (COrres pOndence of the AS
SOciated Press. president Ii Yuan
hung has appealed through personal
kilograms for the cooperation of
prominent revolutionary leaders in re
storing peace and uniting the north
and the south. Tang Shaggy, for
merIy premier under Yuan Shi-kai;
Kang Yu-wei, who inspired many re-
forms in Emperor Kuang FFsu and was
forced by the empress dowager to fee
for his life in 1898, and LANG Chi
chaO, the most famous disciple of
Kang Yu-wei, are among the reform
ers Ii Yuan-hung has asked to assist
in the movement to bring about peace.
The following is a translation of d
telegram which has been sent by the
president TO many influential revOlu-
tiOnists: Heaven has afflicted China
and disasters and disturbances have
arrived in succession. On the 9th
instant President Yuan Shi-kai died
Of illness and ! succeeded him the
next day, in accordance with the pro-
visions made in the law of the cOun-
try At this time of political storm
there is an empty eXchequer and the
country is exhausted Being a man of
little ability, l feel that l am unable
to hold SO great a responsibility. AS
you are men of profound learning, |
hope that you will give me advice in
all important state affairs"
Kang Yu-wei lived in America for
many years after he was forced to
leave China because the empress dow
ager had placed a price on his head
He also resided for some time in ia
pan. LANG Chi-chaO also lived abroad
for long time, chiefly in Japan.
Efforts to get these leaders to Pc
king have been futile. They appar
emily have no intention of coming to
the Chinese capital at this time. Con
Sequently informal negotiations are in
progress at Shanghai, and the Picking
government hopes to arrange for a
more formal conference in that city
preparatory to recOnciling the north
and the south.
China is really divided into three
sections politically at the present time
The four southernmOst provinces are
under the sway Of Cantonese leaders
Tsai 40. who inaugurated the present
revolution. is probably the best known
leader in the four sOuthernmOst prov
inces, but he has remained constantly
in Yunnan province, far west of Can
ton, and consequently has not partici
pated in the deliberations at Canton.
Central China. or the Yang-tse val
lev, is practically dominated by the
military General Feng Kuo-chang at
Marking and General Nj Shih-chung
are the foremost leaders in that sec
ton.

Then she said something else Then
he punched her in the nose.
This was as near as Police Magis-

in the case, when Joe Korn, SIS Tenth
street, Rock Island. was arraigned be
fore him at . O'Clock this afternoon
on a charge of assault
There were a dozen witnesses in the
court room, many of whom had to
talk through an interpreter. Mrs.
Korn, the victim of the attack, ap-
peared with blood oozing from her
nose. This established beyond all
doubt that she was punched in the
nose. KOTn knew this, but his de-
Tense was that she did it herself
She punched her own nose so she
could have me arrested for it," he
told the court through an interpreter.
It appears that Baby Korn broke a
plate. The father called the mother
for permitting the child to play with
dishes. He said it was expensive. The
mother replied to the father that he
might try bringing up the child if he
thought that she did not know how to
rear a youngster. Then the blow was
struck.

The court fined Korn So and costs,
although he insisted that he did not

MAYOR SAYS CITY
WILL PROSECUTE
Declares That People Who Bnrn
Leaves on Asphalt Pavement Will
BE Arrested and Fined.
PRACTICE Is EXTRAyAGANT
Executive Points Out That Destroying
Material Hastens Time When Re-
surfacing viii Be Necessary.

People in Rock Island who burn
leaves on asphalt pavement will have
the city to account with, Mayor Nc
Conochie said today. following orders
he gave to the police department to
see that the practice is stopped.
I'VE are going to prosecute every
person who does this TO the full limit
of the law" the mayor said. "Ignor-
ance will be no excuse. Really it
hardly seems possible that there are
citizens who lack the good sense to see
the folly of burning leaves on asphalt
1t destroys the pavement that they
have paid for and they ought to be
able to realize by shortening the life
of the asphalt they are only bringing
the time nearer when they will have
to undergo the expense OF repaving.
"At any time in the year the practice
is bad, but it is particularly so in the
summer. The asphalt is heated and
soft and the oil in it as a result is
more easily affected by fire. Some
times l think that it is only good for
tune that prevents the oil from catch
ing fire.
but here is what will follow If
leaves are burned on the asphalt-it
will crack and crumble and the life in
it will be killed. Holes will follow and
it is surprising to note how large a
piece of asphalt is affected from just
d small bonfire.
Notified Before.
"The attention of the people of the
city has been repeatedly called to this
matter, but still there are those who
will be obstinate and persist in con-
tinuing the practice. All have to say
for them is that | have notified the
police department to enforce the new
order | hope we won't have to ar
rest anyone, but if we do he will be
tried on a misdemeanor charge, prob
ably under the section of depositing
rubbish on the streets. There is no
ordinance dealing particularly with
burning leaves on the streets, but the
one on rubbish covers it."

The order today ends discussion OF
several weeks of the petition of the
