Last Wet Day For Rock Island.
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch.l
Rock Island, ILL.,, May This was
the last "wet" day for Rock Island,
site of the big government arsenal.
AT IL p. m. the city will become "dry"
territory, for the first time in its his
tory. Forty saloons and more than
a score of wholesale houses will
cease doing business at that time as
a result of the verdict of voters at a
township election April 2.
Two years ago the city of Moline,
adjoining Rock Island on the east,
became dry under the local option
law. July 1, 1917, saloons were ban
ished from Davenport, just across
the Mississippi, by Iowa's prohibition
law. These happenings focused the
retail and wholesale dispensing of
intoxicants for the surrounding
country within radius of fifty miles,
in this city.
Regulation of the traffic became
difficult and reform agencies became
more active until late last February
when the federal department of JUS
tice closed fifty-one saloons and
twenty-f four wholesale houses doing
business within half mile of Rock
Island arsenal and established a vice
zone five miles from the military
establishment which included all of
Rock Island, Moline and Davenport.
Score of Prosecutions Followed.
A corps of federal officers was
established here and scores of prose-
cutions followed, Transportation of
liquor from Rock Island into Iowa,
which had been carried on extern
sively in defiance of the law, was
practically stopped.
In the campaign against the saloon
prior to the April election, an ap-
peal to patriotism played promi-
nent part and was especially effective
with women voters who returned an
overwhelming majority against the
saloon and overcame the wet ver-
dict of the male voters.

service was received today by Adju
tant General Rhinow.
A decision on the suggestion is be-
ing delayed, the general said, until
Governor Burnquist can be consulted.
The existence of the Minnesota
home guard is threatened by the
proposal, according to authoritative
opinions.
A new national guard, it was point
ed out, will afford small, but highly
efficient home defense force avail
able for prompt service and compar-
atively inexpensive to equip and
maintain.
General Rhinow indicated that in
the event the authority given by the
War department is exercised in Min
nesota, only three or four National
guard regiments will be organized
and there will be no artillery units.
The order yesterday disbanding the
Second Minnesota field artillery on
May 1 and the possibility of Difficult
ties in obtaining artillery equipment
indicated that the new organization
will be made up of infantry COM
panies exclusively.
"Any national guard companies
formed under this proposal will not
be called into federal service" Gen
eral Rhinow said.
"This, together with the regulation
making men under forty-five years OF
age open to enlistment and the wide
response on home guard enlistments,
assures the early filling of company
rolls in event the decision is favor
able"
The telegram from Washington to-
day authorized immediate organiza-
ton of supply companies and prom
ised that acquisitions for necessary
equipment will be filled promptly to
make the proposed unit available
for service in the state at once.
