NO ONE SLATED

Liedtkc States Resignation Of C. W.

cd Question.
FORMER HEAD GIVES REASON
Quit With Purpose in View of Aid
ing Citizens and MeH-City
Wsutc,d a Goat

No selection has been made,
neither is there an applicant in
sight, for the position OF chief Of
the Rock Island FIRE department to
take the place of G. W. Newberry,
who resigned from the force last
evening. The above staten ent has
been given out by Commissioner
John H Lcdthe.
Mr. Liedtke. however, announces
that Assistant Chief Peter Frey Will
be acting head Of the department
until some one has been found to
take the position The commission
er further says that Assistant Chief
Frey was offered the place as chief,
but that he declines the promotion.
Chief Newberry stated yesterday
that his resignation is directly due
to a desire on his part to do every
thing in his power to settle the
controversy brought about by the
wage dispute between the city CON-
m-ssiooers and the fremen, which
settlement, he said, should bring
about conditions whereby the city
will again be furnished ample fire
protection.
With reference to his action in
handing in his resignation, Chief
Newberry yesterday further said:
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1918-10-11

1T seems that the city officials, or
at least Mayor McConochie, are set
upon the purpose that someone in
the old fire force must go as sac
ritiCe TO appease the city and IN
payment for the city officials con-
Ceding points. which the firemen
have stated must be met before
they will come back to work.
Il believe that I have been pick
ed as the goat, but as for that | am
perfectly willing to be the one sac
ridced il il Will do any good either
TO the men or to the citizens of
Rock Island who have been patient
~ waiting for the city to settle the
matter in any way. or at least by
any way where their property and
lives Will again be protected from
fire
Il have quit the position OF fire
chief for the express reason that l
now be appeased to a sufficient ex-
tent so as to allow them to come to
an agreement with the men in the
wage dispute"
Long in Service.
Chief New berry has served on the
Rock Island fire department for
nearly 90 years. He was first ap-
pointed on the force In July, 1893,
when there was but one company
and the equipment was horse
drawn. He remained on the depart
ment without break until May, 1907
In May. 1909, he was again appoint
ed to the force, this time as chief,
which position he held until his res
ignation yesterday. On his return
to the department IN 1909 there
were three companies and the
/ equipment was horse-drawn. He
left the department yesterday with
the city having. before the firemen s
walkoUt, five companies in service,
one station closed since July last,
and the equipment practically all
motorized. Chief Newberry was to
a great extent responsible for the
motorization of the fire equipment
and much credit has been given

him for this improvement in the
department.
Regarding his future course, the
former chief states that he has not
yet decided what he will do, but
states that he has an offer of po-
sition with a Chicago firm, and that
he has also an opportunity to do
government work
He states that If neither of these
positions is accepted he probably
will go to the state of Florida to
spend the winter

Much of the bearish sentiment re-

tinctly upward trend this week in a
stock market in which industria1s and

locked, after trying practically all
yesterday TO reach a compromise on
the section of the bill giving the

Of government securities.
The House bill contained a provf-
sion authorizing the President to in

to prevent sales of such securities
The Senate struck this section out of
the bill on the ground that no one
should have the power to prevent the
sale of the securities.
The Senate confereeS. while willing
to insert in the bill provision grant

to place in the measure language
which specifically states that no one
should have the power to prohibit
