Washington, June 13.-That the
war department will ask changes in
the draft law to include all men be-
tween the ages of 18 and As or 40
years is forecasted in congressional
circles.
The new legislation is planned to
facilitate the operation of the inter-

to be launched in December. The
need for this class IS the fact that

The lifeless body of George Gil

Moline police yesterday afternoon
il a bare front room at 401 Ninth
street, Moline, and beside the body
Jay two empty whisky bottles. Po-
lice were called to the scene by
I Emil Anderson, a friend of Gill
! brandt
The story is pieced together by
the other three occupants in the
home in which the dead man was
/ found, has its beginning Sunday
evening when GiIbrandt and a man
named Aaron Anderson entered the
home at 401 Ninth street, occupied
by two men unknown to them.
They carried bottles containing IL
Guor. Carl LAM and his roommate,
Emil Anderson, were the Occu-
pants of the residence. They all
partook of the whisky and at a
late hour went to bed. Emil An
derson left the others and went to
another room. During the next
forenoon, Gilbrandt and Aaron An
derson awoke and left the house i'll
order to purchase more booze. An
hour and half later they returned
with two quart bottles filled with
whisky.
Again they emptied the bottles
and returned to their beds. Aaron
Anderson and myself awoke at
noon" said Lanz to the police yes
terday. Il went to the room where
Gilbrandt was and I saw him on
his knees at the edge of the bed
The two empty whisky bottles lay
by his side. I took hold of him and
laid him on the floor as 1 thought
he might choke himself with the
bedding. He may have been dead
then, but l thought he was dead
drunk"
LAM continued his story by saw
ing that the two men then went
after some near beer. after which
Aaron Anderson said he was going
to get some whisky and LAM re-
turned to the home and fell asleep
in the kitchen. When he awoke in
the afternoon he found Gilbrandt
lying on the floor in the front room.
He first thought he was drunk but
later found he was dead and mott
fed the police.

PEOPLESPOWER
ASKS INCREASE
Fast Moline Council May Grant
Permit to Advance RGtes-Fin-
al Action Delayed.

Argument for an increase in
power rates were presented to the
Last Moline city council last even
ing by a representative of the Peo-
pies Power company. 1t appears
that the council considers the in
crease justifiable. but final action
has been delayed until the next
regular meeting. The coal situa-
ton, increased cost Of material and
labor problems and difficulties has
made the demand for the increase
in rates more urgent
Recently the power company ap-
piled to the Illinois State Utilities
commission for an advance in pow
or rates in Moline and Rock Island
and met with success. The in
crease, upon the agreement of
large factory consumers, went into
effect Sept. l and is for one year
only. In case the East Moline
council issues the permit for the
demand, the increase will be in
force permanently.
One detector meter has been re-
Ceiyed by the city and will be in

pipes instead of lead in mains con-
meeting the government homes was
