behalf of the firemen OF Rock Is
land.
n recent bulletin issued by the
department of labor states that the
cost Of living has increased 50 per
cent during the last few years.
The raise asked by the lremen is
not nearly proportionate TO the
increase in the cost OF the neces-
sites for comfortable. every day
existence. The people of the city
or Rock Island decreed by a sub
stantial majority that the saloon
should so out of business. In NV
opinion they realized fully what
this meant in regard to city Fl =
nances, and now stand prepared to
meet this contingency in any man
ner that may be suggested to them
by representative officials of the
city. If there remains no other
course open, in order 10 grant the
city employees a living wage, than
to raise the tax rate. l am conf
dent that the citizens are prepared
TO take this step as a measure to-
ward city efficiency If it is put
squarely up to them they will make
up the deficiency in revenue il
some way that will prove satisfac
tory to all concerned.

demanded by the firemen would

moratorium of rents. which has
been in effect ever since the war, is
seen in a case which has come. up
in the courts here An aged
Frenchman, whose only source of
income was large house, rented
it just before the war to a tenant
who was modified and is still
serving. Consequently he is not
obliged to pay rent. His wife
meanwhile is occupying the house,
which she subjects to a number of
weekly tenants at a good price The
poor landlord, deprived OF his only
source of revenue, lives on money
which he borrows at a high rate
of interest. the lender being the
tenants wife. He. is trying to OBJ
tain some adjustment of his Dor
rowings through the French courts.

KAISER DENOUNCED IN WILL
Aged New Yorker Leaves Large Be. quests to Various French War
 Charities.

New York.-Vehement denunciatiOn of the kaiser as a barbarian who crim- inally caused the war is contained in the will of Jean Baptiste Bourdis, gen. erally known as John Bourdis, filed for probate in the surrogate's court.
 Generous bequests are made to French war charities. Bourdis was seventy-six years old when he died on December 23. He retired last year from the silk firm of J. Bourdis & Go.
 The largest bequest is 50OOOO francs, for the relief of helplessly crippled French soldiers, "victims of the crimi- nal war imposed by one man, the bar barous German Emperor William II for the satisfaction of his own ambi- tionS."
 Thirty thousand francs each are left to four hospitals in Lyons, France. The city of Lyons gets 100000 francs, the income of which is to be used for the purchase of paintings for the pupils of the Ecole des Beaux Arts at Lyons, where Bourdis was pupil.

MARRIAGE OF MINORS LEGAL
Colorado Judge Decides They Cannot Be AnnuIIed Under the State

Denver, Colo.-Marriages of boys and girls not of legal age are legal in Colorado and cannot be annulled.
 This was the decision of Judge J.. A. Denispn in the district court in de nying the petition of Mrs. May Gard ner for an annulment of the marriage of her daughter to Don Bigelow.
 Mrs. Gardner told the court that Mrs. Bigelow was not eighteen years old when she became wife and that Bigelow was less than twenty at the time he obtained license to wed. Judge Denison held that there is no law in Colorado making the marriage of minors illegal, but that the official who performs such cere- monies is subject to fine and im- prisonment.
