The appearance of 10 witnesses in the
city court room this morning to testify
in the case of state against Mary Mont,
charged with Illegal sale of Intoxicating

part in the respondent pleading guilty to
the charge. These were persons who
were called before an inquest conducted

Wis, in which considerable testimony is
understood to have been obtained Mrs.
Mont retracted her plea of not guilty

Miss Maud Mcdonald, 1929
Twelfth street, is the first Rock Is
land woman TO receive her COM
mission to go overseas as a Saliva
ton Army canteen worker. Al
though Miss Mcdonald made appli-
cation many months ago for over
seas duty as a canteen worker her
appointment and passport did not
reach her till this week. She viii
leave Monday for Chicago from
where she will be sent TO New York
for a three weeks course in special
training along certain lines better
fitting her for the work that she
will take up across the waters, and
expects TO sail some time during
the first part of the year.
Miss Mcdonald was formerly en-
plOyed in The Argus counting room
and for the last two years has been
bookkeeper at the Home Tea com
pany.
She is well qualified for the work
that she will take up during the
reconstruction period and goes
with the best wishes of many Rock
Island friends.
Her only regret is that delay in
procuring her passport has pre-
vented her from seeing overseas
duty during the period of the war,
but she realizes that her services
will be of great value at this time
when all organizations will be
taxed to their capacities in caring
for the men pending their return to
this country.

YOUTHFUL AUTO
THIEVES TRIED
On Recommendation of States At
tOrney Justice Leaves Case
to County Court.

Three youthful auto thieves whu
stole a car belonging to Fred
Schnitger, 532 Thirtieth street, on
the night of Nov. 16. and who re-
ceived a preliminary hearing Nov.
IS, were again brought before Jus
tice d J. Cleland yesterday, and
upon recommendations of States
Attorney Floyd E. Thompson were
transferred under the jurisdiction
OF the county court for action in
their case by Judge n. A. Larson
as Juveniles.
The lads drove the stolen car as
far as Columbus Junction, Iowa,
where it broke down and where
they were taken into custody. They
were brought back to this city by
Detective Dennis Bennett. and were
remanded to jail, under $4,000
bonds each. The youths are: Benny
Eastman, Fred Parriott and Alfred
Coffin, aged 16, Is and IA years re-
spectively.
They told the court that they
were on their way to Burlington
when the car was wrecked. A pc
culiar incident brought out by the
Arrest is that Parriott, aged but IL
years. carries a registration card.
1t is claimed that the lad desiring
to get into the army service, regis
tered for the draft. Judge Larson
probably will act in the case of
the three youths tomorrow.

Cotton

The cotton market was weak and un
settled again yesterday. The continued
favorable character of weather and
crop advices, with the bearish staOisti-
cal position and nervousness over the
war news, seemed to completely over
shadow bullish spot advices, and, except
for covering, there were few buyers
around the ring. July deliveries broke
to 24.4O, or 61 points under last nights
close and 145 points under the recent
high level. That month closed at 24.49,
with the market closing steady at net
decline of As to So points.
There were many overnight selling
orders at the opening and first prices
were II to 28 points net lower. There
was enough covering to cause some
irregularlty, but slight bulges increased
offerings, with the South among the
sellers, and the decline extended to
2300 for October during the middle Of
the morning, or about 81 to 66 points
net lower on the more active months.
Later fluctuations were Irregular, with
the close showing rallies of 10 to 20
points.
Another private crop report was pub
lished making the condition 80 per
cent, which was about in line with
previous advices. 1t consequently
tended to strengthen the expectation of
government report on Tuesday

ports of rains in West Texas, which
were considered beneficial, and the de-
tailed weather reports for the day were
favorable, with prospects pointing to
continued good weather over the week
end. There was no change in the gen.
eral average of spot news, and the cot
ton sold at auction by the Alien Prop
erty Custodian, both here and at Sa-
vannah, brought good prices. The lot

The Fleet Corporation has contract

mage of government orders at present
amounts to 16,S00.000 tons. Prefer
ence is given in delivery to ship plates,

the plants will require enormous ton
mage in heavy machinery and tools.
Ship steel in storage for Japan
amounting to 10000 tons has been

The increase in freight rates will
have a serious effect on the cost of
