 he added that this force would be com prised entirely of volunteers and not of regulars or militiamen.
 SENSATIONAL CLIMAX The address of the President was the sensational climax of the most ex- citing day which Washington in years has experienced. Following the eight hour battle on organizati tion of the House. hundreds in excess of the num- Der of seats poured into the galleries When the President appeared every in dividual stood, cheering and waving in patriotic fervor miniature flags of the government. During the course of the delivery there were repeated outbursta of applause in which republicans joined 1 heartily with the democrats. There was eloquent evidence that in the hour of this nations entrance into the war for right and justice and humanity" the 2eople and the servants of the people stood as unit, awful in their detel ' imitation to eXtirpate the intrigue ot court and put to an end the domination of autocracy.
 MILITARY ASPECT The situation presented a significant military aspect when the President his duty performed, retired. With his es cort of armed agents, he entered an automobile at the House entrance and in disregard of speed regulations, dashed off into the night. Immediate- ly to the rear of the carriage a squad ron of motorcyclists with weapons dis played. went in rapid pursuit A troop of cavalry with sabres drawn maneu- vered quickly into line and in q charged gallop followed in noisily and | spectacular fashion.

In less than two days we were

Chicago on the Dixie Flyer, was truly

has two crops. one of oranges and
the other of northern tourists. Not
the least is the latter as this year the
big freeze in early February injured
the fruit and killed off the flowers
1t was the worst in % years. How
ever, Florida is great playground
and lOafing spot for those from the
frozen north who can come. For in
stance, this town of Daytona on the
east coast, has a normal population
of 5000. but in the winter has from
10000 to 10000 people. 1t puts US in
mind of Waukesha in the old days
when it was mostly composed of no

That is the condition here now and
every place is full.

SINGING RESULTS
IN A POLICE RAID
Fourteen Men in Coffee House Arrest
ed on orders OF East ,
Moline Mayor.

Whether singing OF a boisterous ma
ture in a coffee house Is a violation OF
the ordinances of the city of East Mo-
line is the question at issue today be-
Tore Magistrate A. A. Niles, as result
OF a police raid ordered by DR.. g. F.
Johnson, mayor. Saturday evening.
The place of Dan Bogas, Fifteenth
avenue between Ninth and Tenth
streets, was visited by officers, and IA
men, including the proprietor, were
arrested. Later the police found, they
say, nine cases OF beer In the place.
Evidence of DR.. Johnson was that he
could hear the noise from the coffee
house block away while he was driv,
ing IN a closed auto. Officers Victor
Hedman and William Nicer, who made
the arrests. said that they could hear
the singing and yelling when they
were l2o feet from the entrance.
]. A. Mckeown, defending the men,
took the view that the singing waa
not more Of an offense than would be
singing In a church or any other place
for congregation Of people.
Following the raid, warrants or
charges OF violating the city ordi.
nances, referring to disorderly con.
duct, were issued by Magistrate Niles
and he also issued warrants ON state
charges OF disturbing the peace. This
whole morning and part of the after
noon was given over to the hearing OF
the city cases, City Attorney George
d. Long represented the prosecution
in the cases.

RAISE OEESTION LIP.

The East Moline city council this
evening will consider for final action
the ordinances granting increases i'll
pay TO city employees The legal ques-
ton as to the majority necessary for
adoption of ordinances will be raised
and City Attorney George d. Long
will be prepared to give an opinion
on the matter. 1t has been the I'M
preston that a two-thirds, which in
East Moline is in practice three
fourths, majority, is necessary, but
this is claimed to have been a mis-
taken idea.
The council will also be called upon
to decide what to do about an auto
patrol. The old machine is out OF
commission and needed repairs will
cost almost as much as d new car
better suited to police service. The
police department will, it is under
stood, recommend sale of the old ma
chine and purchase Of lighter car
designed for patrol service, similar to
the small machine in use in Rock
Island.

WILL TALK CREDITS.

Credits and delivery will be dis
cussed at a meeting of Moline retail
grocers to be held at o'clock tomor-
row evening in Swedish Olive hall.
The question of inaugurating CEN
trail delivery system has been under
consideration for some time. and it
now seems that the government is 60
ing to compel the adoption Of this
plan as part of the conservation pro-
gram that is being worked out by the
national food administration. With a
central delivery system in vogue it
would be possible to route the deliv-
cry Of all stores so that the same
ground would not De covered more
than once. As it is at present wagons
of the different firms traverse the
same territory several times day, re-
sulting in much needless waste in
time. energy, horsefiesh. gasoline and
feed.
At the last meeting of the grocers
two propositions for readjusting the
credit system were presented, and
probably one OF these plans will be
adopted.
