cheon at noon today, Congressman W.
j. Graham said Moline is to have an

river traffic. lie said that in using
the term reclamation" he did so adj
visedly, as the government is de-
terInined to make the river an import
ant artery OF commerce. In support of
this he cited an item in the sundry civil
bill appropriating S7,000,000 for i'm
provement of the upper Mississippi
river
The meeting was arranged for a dis
cussion of waterway transportation
and other speakers were Sidney J. Roy
OF Hannibal. secretary of the Upper
Mississippi River Improvement asso-
citation, who spoke Of river traffic from
the economic standpoint, and Captain
A. A. Poland Of St Louis, who is max
ing an investigation of possibilities for
the government.
The board OF directors of the clat
will appoint a committee of five to co
operate with the improvement associa-
ton in all OF its work.

HAVE CLOSE CALL AS
FRONT AXLE BREAKS

When the front axle of the Moline
police patrol broke down at Twenty
eight street and Third avenue. Rock
Island, yesterday afternoon, it seems
cd for an instant that three prisoners
being conducted by two officers to the
county Jail, would surely be injured.
All OF the men were given a scare
and shaken up, but none Of them was
hurt. a wheel came OFF the car and
it was necessary to take the maehine
TO a garage while the prisoners. Da-
vid Miller, 4. II. Cam and Nordal Nell
son, were taken TO the county bastile
by street car in charge Of Swan Lar.
son and Axei Johnson.
