LANDLORDS TRY NEW
RENT-RAISING TRICK
Threaten Curtailment of Service If
Tenants Do Not Pay More.

!. By threatening curtailment of
Elevator service, hot water and
other comforts. landlords of some
apartment houses in Washington
are attempting to raise the price of
rent despite the Salisbury law
which continues all leases until the
end of the war. While not technic-
ally violating the law, these land
lords are suggesting that either ad-
ditiona1 rent must be paid in order
to pay the increased cost of these
conveniences or their operation
must be curtailed.
1t has been suggested by Edwin
S. Hege. manager of the room regis
tration ONCE and secretary of the
District council of national de-
fense. to householders who have
been threatened with the loss of
these accommodations that they ex-
anime their leases to see IL the
landlords would not be violating
their agreement by such action.

REPUBLICAN,,
HITS WILSON
Illinois Representative Is
Then Attacked by De-
walt, of Pennsylvania.

Representative william A. Roden-
berg Of Illinois. a Republican. made
q bitterly partisan attack upon
President Wilson. members Of the
Cabinet and some of those whom
the President has favored for ONCE
in speech delivered in the House
yesterday.
And then
In q singing reply Repre-
sentative Dewalt of Pennsylvania,
Democrat. asserted that Mr.. Rosen-
berg had been upon many occasions
one of the few Republican members
who opposed war legislation:
1-voted against the declaration
Fof war.
a-voted for the McLemore reso-
1ution-
3-voted for the embargo of
munitions on armed ships.
a-voted against the revenue
s. Was hanged in efhgy by voters
of his district for his action on
these questions.
Mr.. Dewalt said:
Z question the sincerity Of a gem
tleman whose past record shows him
to have been against the interests of
the American people and who i'm
pugns the patriotism OF the Presi-
dent"
Rodenberg's Speech
Mr. Rodenberg's speech had been
carefully prepared. The burden Of it
was that the President Is conducting
his office for political purposes. that
politics Is not adjourned" and that
the Democratic party as a whole is
attempting TO make political capital
out Of the war. He criticised the
President for attempting to secure the
election of a Democratic Senator in
Wisconsin, in Mississippi, Georgia and
other States. and the Presidents let
tiers against Representative Huddle-
stou, Of Alabama; Representative
Slayden. Of Texas, and others who
had opposed him IN. Congress.
Mr.. Rodenberg also feigned to dis
} cover some political motive in the
sending Of Senator James Hamilton
Lewis to France. He said in this
connection:
WAS politics adjourned when, only
a few days ago. the irridescert and
irresponsible Democratic Senator
from Illinois was sent post haste,
whiskers. spats. rainbow vest and all.
to France on a most mysterious mis-
sion which, of course. was to be cani-
talized later on in his campaign for
reelection to the Senate Of the
United States?''
An attack upon the Presidents
selection of Henry Ford for the Sem
atorship from Michigan was also part
of Mr.. Rodenberg's speech.

late Saturday Of telegraphed APP
peal from the United States gov
eminent, has undertaken the re-
sponsibility of supplying Uncle Sam
with 1000 combat wagons, these to
be in addition to those orders prev

every effort will be put forth to
turn them out quickly, even to the
sacrifice of other business, as the
company's partial contribution to
winning of the war. The work will
be done by the John Deere Wagon
company.
Two other local concerns-the
Moline Furniture works and the

FRANCE TIGHTENS
NEWS CENSORSHIP

Paris, March 25.-The following
note has been issued:
The possibility Of an enemy Of
fensive has induced the govern
ment to lay down in advance strin-
gent rules to which the press must
conform during this period, es-
pecially at the commencement.
First, the only accounts of
events which may be published are
bulletins issued by general head
quarters and articles by CORES
pondents accredited to headquar-
ters, which must be vised by the
ministry of war.
Second, articles commenting on
events must be written in such a
way that they contain nothing in
contradiction with official bulletins
and that their deductions show no
exaggeratiOn and any comments
made convey no information to the
enemy.
THE publication Of any news or
article not authorized will be Wig
orously punished"

DRY APPEAL FOR
STATE IS GIVEN
Clinton n. Howard Says Prohibition
Bears Vital Relation to Sue
cess of the Allies.

Claiming that if Illinois and New
York ratify the prohibition amend
ment to the federal constitution
every state in the union will do like
wise, Clinton n. Howard, Rochester,
n. Y, temperance lecturer, made a
vigorous plea for a dry nation in
an address before l 1000 hearers at
the First Baptist church, Moline,
last evening.
The speaker made the assertion
that an even dozen states had
passed the dry amendment and that
four of the first seven common
wealths to do so are now wet. The
vital relation which he claimed ex-
listed between prohibition and a
speedy victory for the ladies was
especially emphasized.
In speaking of the food situation,
Mr. Howard alleged the high price
of potatoes is due largely to car
shortage and that if $4,000 refrig-
orator cars controlled by the brew
cry interests were to be used in
transporting spuds there would
without any question be a drop in
quotations.
! Mr. Howard addressed the mems
meeting at the Y. NJ. C. A. in the
afternoon.

TO HAVE GARDEN
AT EACH SCHOOL
Otto KabeI Of High School Faculty
VIII Have Demonstration Tract
In Every District

In order to show just what can
be accomplished, Otto Gabel, sci
ence instructor at the Moline high
school, is to have charge of a dem
onstpStion garden in each school
district i'm that city. Not only the
kids but their parents as well VIII
thus be given an object lesson that
ought to prove helpful in the big
drive, nationwide in its scope, for
increased food production.
IL is the belief OF Mr.. Gabel that
there is sufficient vacant ground Rt
practically every house in this Plow
City, where a garden can be sue
cessfully cared for. At least enough
vegetables can be grown for the
needs of each family which in itself
viii result in 4 wonderful economic
saving.
School children Of Moline and
grownups, too, are showing much
interest in the community garden
project Last year hundreds OF. lots
were loaned and on these were
raised such a fine variety Of vege-
tables and i'm such quantities II WAS
decided to adopt the scheme again
The Velie estate is offering Gree
use of land and those desiring TO
don overalls and try their luck
with the hoe are urged to file their
applications at once with Supertn-
tendent l.. A. Mahoney.

CLOSE CALL FOE
MOLINE AUTOIST
Postmaster Edward Coryn Drives
Car in Front of Train at Eigh-
teenth Street Crossing.

Unable to gain a view of the
tracks because of a string of freight
cars standing at the crossing, Post
master Edward Coryn drove his au-
tomobile in front of an eastbound
Burlington train at Eighteenth
street, Moline, Saturday evening
and narrowly escaped instant
death. Asst was, his car was hit
and the front part of it entirely de-
molished
Mr.. Coryn, who was alone at the
time, had just left the postoff1ce and
was slowly driving south when he
reached the tracks After getting
on to the crossing he saw the APP
preaching danger, and in an at
tempt to reverse the machine the
engine stalled and the locomotive
hit the auto squarely.
Although shaken up considerably
and somewhat bruised, Mr.. Coryn
was uninjured, which he regards as
remarkable under the circum-
stances
