that the ordnance plant is hig
building which was constructed and

~ not going TO stand idle. The only
danger in shifting from war work
to peace activity. he said, is that
there may be period between the

robbed of S42 in cash, the Acheson
store is the loser of 800, L. f.
Mutt is missing his seven-passenger
car and the Benson garage was
entered but nothing taken.
Orville Carr. mail collector, was
gathering mail at a box on Fifth
avenue near Twenty-third street
about II o'clock last night when
two men stepped up to him and de-
manded that he thrown up his
hands. He did. One man searched
his pockets and obtained 1920.
They did not bother about the mail
bags. Then the other bandit SYM
pathetically said: "He eats at the
Moline Lunch every night. Give
him back his 80 cents" The 80
cents was returned.
A window in the home Of G.. w.
AchesOn was broken about O'Clock
last evening. Acheson was in an
adjoining room. He saw a hand
go through the window and then
it was pulled back with a pocket
book which lay on a nearby table
and which contained 500 in cash.
Acheson drew his gun. 1t was
empty, so he threw the revolver
but missed the burglar. Police
were summoned, but the thieves had
disappeared.
Three men broke into the Mutt
garage about 2 o'clock this morn
ing. A woman next door was awaK-
ened by the noise, and upon look
ing out of the window, saw the
three men She called the police,
but upon their arrival the men had
gone with the automobile.
At the George Benson residence,
1921 Sixth avenue, Moline, the po-
lice found a machine IN the rear
of the garage. Mr.. Benson was
there. Someone had tried TO take
his machine, but was unsuccessful.
No details of the Royal pool hall
burglary were learned. The burg
lar entered the rear door and es-
capped with the carton or cigareis.

up till the next day, as the engl-
