HIS LIP rs HURT IN A
FALL; SUES FOR $4,000

Charles L. Brockway, 1908 Ninth
and-a-half street, has brought suit
against W. r. Wells, Leo De Schinckel
and the city of Rock Island for $500
damages in circuit court, the bill
having been filed by the plaintiff late
Saturday.
According to Mr. Bro:kway, while on
his way TO the loop at 7.30 O'Clock
on the night of Nov. IA from his home
ut 1884 Thirteenth street, where he
then lived, he stumbled and fell on a
pile of cement blocks that had been
placed at the side of the sidewalk on
Thirteenth street between Eighteenth
and Nineteenth avenues. Mr.. Brock
way states that it was dark and as
there were no lights in the immediate
vicinity nor warning lanterns of any
kind, he knew nothing of his danger
until he stumbled and fell, hitting his
face on the pile Of cement blocks, He
states that his upper lip was severely
injured and that piece of cement
lodged in the wound which resulted in
blood poisoning.
II. NJ. McCaskrin is Mr.. Brockway's
attorney.

his arrival in France.
The eablegram was dated Saturday
and apparently was sent Immediately
after his arrival The message was
not entirely surprise to his mother,
for she had not received any word
from him since Nov "a, and it was be-
lieved he was on his way to Europe
as il was his custom to write every
day. He stated in one of his letters
recently that If no word was received
from him it should be taken to mean
that he had sailed Hildebrandt is q

Committee WILL
enforce ORDERS
Result Rock Island viii Experience
Two Lightless Nights Every
Week,
o CONSERVE FUEL, SUPPLY
Order Refers Only to Necessary Street
Lights and Electric Display
Ad Signs.

The Rock Island county coal COM
mittee at its meeting this afternoon
considered the latest order issued by
Fuel Administrator Garfield, to the
effect that all unnecessary street
lights and display advertising signs
be darkened two nights each week
Sundays and hursdays-during the
time OF the war, to use less electric
power and subsequently conserve the
nations fuel supply.
A member Of the committee today
stated that the order would be en-
forced to the letter in Rock Island.
This probably means that the post
or ornamental street lights in the
loop and all large display ad signs
will be darkened Sunday and Thurs
day nights. This practice will place
the city administration in a peculiar
position.
The city has, to certain extent
been depending on the post lights in
the loop to light up the streets. Al
present there is only one arc lighi
on each corner in the loop. II the
post lights are darkened 1t may re.
quire the placing of an additional arc
light in the middle of each block in
the loop. The committee may also
consider the plan to delay enforcing
the order until after the holiday shop
ping season is over, as the loop viii
be thronged with shoppers during this
period.
City 10 Cooperate.
Commissioner Martin Rudgren stat
ed today that the matter had not come
to his attention as yet. u do moi
think the city will install extra lights
when the order is enforced" he said
Il would advise that the ornamental
idea be eliminated from the post lights
by darkening the four bottom lights
and leaving the top one burn. Much
power could be saved in this manner
Ii the power company would install
tungsten lights In all the street lights
power would also be saved in this
manner. 1t is hardly probable tina
this will be done, however, az the city
has contract running until 1919. Tbs

ter, from H. p. Dawson, chairman

Dear Rev. Koren:
On account of the wonderfully
successful campaign for the Red
Cross War Fund / intended, in be-
half of the War Council, to send you
and your associates, telegram of
thanks and congratulation for your
splendidly effective work. On refiec-
| ton, however, ! decided in view Of
the nationwide extent of our organi-
cation that it would be more econ
omical, and equally satisfactory, to
write to you instead of telegraphing.
We of the War Council are deeply
grateful to you, to your colleagues,
to the devoted men and women of
local Red Cross Chapters and Auxili-
aries, and to every element and indi-
vidual in your community who are
aiding by service and contribution.
There is no method by which we
can reach the legion of the indivi-
duals, organizations, churches, news
papers, societies, banks, companies,
and firms whose united effort has
provided this great fund for human
| ity, and ii through your press and
by other means you can make public
expression of our gratitude we shall
deeply appreciate the courtesy. Their
joint accomplishing has stirred the
pride of every American.
l wish to add my personal thanks
TO you, and through you, to all who
are contributing to the splendid re-
suit.
