THESE DIPS CARRY
ALONG THEIR OWN
LITTLE DETECTIVE

Three pickpockets sprung an en-
tirely new stunt on the unsuspecting
police Of Davenport several days ago,
and q Rock Island woman, whose
name could not be learned, was the
intended victim.
The woman boarded a Bridge line
car in Davenport on Second street.
The car was crowded at the time and
one man standing close to her opened
her pocketbook, but she detected him
in the act She sounded a warning
saying, This man tried to steal the
money out of my purse" With that
remark two men started to leave the
car. A third man stepped up and said !:
Never mind lady. l will take care OF
them, 1 have been on their trail for
some time"
With that he grabbed the two men
and locked them together with a pair
of handouts. All three then left the
car.
The woman in the case called the
local police and told them of the Incl
dent. 1t developed later that the de-
tective, who apparently placed the
two men under arrest, was a fraud
and a member of the gang.
Anyway, this is the first time any
pickpockets have pulled the Stake
detective" stuff in the tri-cities.

No Let Up IN Activities Of Local Ex.

Order Of Garfield.
PLAN TO APPEAL MANY CASES
Government to Take Exception to
Those Married Since May Is
and Given Deferred Class.

For the reason that the Peoples
National bank building was heated for
other purposes: the local exemption
board kept right on with its work to-
day, taking no advantage Of the legal
holiday as set aside by the United
States fuel administrator.
B. D. Connolly, clerk Of the board.
today received notice from the provost
marshal that in all cases where men
married since May IS. 1917, we're CIV
en- a deferred classification by the To-
cal board, the government intends to
take an appeal. Under this ruling all
men married since May Is. with the
possible exception Of few isolated
cases, will be put in class l. The
marshal's order on thie sUhioct Was
as follows:
"In order that the district board
may review all classifications by local
boards in cases Of those married since
May IS. 1917. and secure uniformity
Of action, all government appeal
agents shall be instructed to appeal
all cases where local boards have
granted deferred classifications in
either class to class 1, on the
strength of such marriages"

1,400 to 1900 in which class they were
placed. The board is today consider
ing the questionnaires numbered from.
1900 to 1000.
One Puxxling Case.
The local board is confronted with
one puzzling case, where young man
who registered June s, under the draft
law, later demanded that he be taken
off the list because he is only 20 years
old and does not come within the pro-
visions of the draft law. He states he
was misinformed as to his correct age.
Affidavits have been furnished by his
parents with a county record Of his
birth. Then man in question is 20
years OF age and will be forced to reg
lister again in April. as he will reach
his majority by that time, should the
measure now in congress be passed.

pose permitted by tariff.
No demurrage will be assessed for
Sundays or holidays.
Team track storage charges, which
are in effect at Chicago, Kansas City
and Des Moines, are in addition to the
denfurrage charges.
Demurrage and storage rules appli-
cable to shipments upon inquiry and
to remove the confusion that exists
among carriers and shippers, it is
Held, that demurrage and storage in
transit are controlled by the tariff in
effect when the initial movement be-
gins; that demurrage on outbound
shipments is controlled by the tariff
in effect when the car is actually set
for loading; that demurrage and track
storage at destination are controlled
by the tariff in effect when the car is
actually or constructively set for I'M
loading; and that off-track storage by
carrier at destination, in its ware
house or otherwise, is controlled by
the tariff in effect at the time such
storage begins.
This is a radical change over pres
ent arrangement, and it is Of the ut
most importance that all agents fully
understand and comply literally with
instructions which will be contained
in new taraff, which we are now ar
ranging for distribution.
Agents will notify all industries al

Orders Patriotism.

More than 400 Eagles of Rock Is
land county attended the memorial
services held at the Rock Island aerie
lodge rooms yesterday afternoon.
A. B. Duncan, grand worthy vice
president Of the Eagles in the United
States, and Rev. F. J. Rolf, pastor of
the Evangelical Church Of Peace, were
the principal speakers. A quartet COM
posed Of members Of the order rem
dered appropriate music for Gthe &C.
casion, accompanied by an orchestra.
Mr.. Duncan said in part: If all
men would live up to the Eagle prin-
ciples 1t would lead to the brother
hood and cooperation Of man which
we all are fighting for day by day.
The allies and the United States are
fighting for brotherhood of man and
we in this country are doing the same.
THE material progress Of the
United States is the greatest in the
world. People Of the old world are
! under the impression that the United
States progresses more commercially
and materially than it does spiritually
and it is true. The people of this
country should do more to advance
spiritually.
More than $500 Eagles in this COM
munity are displaying unity and the
helping others-idea and if the people
all over the world would do the same
the country would progress not only
materially but spiritually.
I'VE should not spend so much time
| in trying to fathom out the ways of
death which cannot be fathomed when
life is mystery. We should work
out the problem Of living, destroy evil
and be prepared for death. We should
work out the problem of living des-
tiny and be prepared for what comes
after"
Rev. Rolf in his address eulogized
those departed and told Of the pat
! riotism that the Eagles in this coun-
try have displayed in the last few
months. He mentioned the quick
response the Eagles made
during the Liberty Loan campaign and
told of how the members are daily
aiding the Red Cross. He said that
when the nation calls the Eagles are
the ones that are always prepared to
| do their bit.
Appended is the list Of the dead
members of the Eagles of Rock Island

Baseball instruction in the French

Of the game have been translated and
Will be distributed among the poilus.
II consider this game constitutes eX-
cellent exercise, develops precision and

pastime." said Gen. Cottez in his re-
quest that the game be adoped.

non. where he demonstrated the game
to the officers school. After nine days
Of instruction the young cadets played

The seml-wind. also looks like a real
bear-cat battle, being between Battling
Hudson Of Manayunk, and Kid Raymond
Allentown's classy middleweight. The
six-round bout will be between Tommy
Herman, Of Philadelphia. and B0bbie
Durham. Of New York This should be

gether Tommy Sharkey, Of Alanayunk,
and Dave Hooper. Of Wilmington.
The opening bout brings together
Andy Pines Of Harlan shipyard, and
Bobby Graham OF Pusey and Jones.
