THEFT is CONFESSED.

Louis Burgau, Is years old. of
400 Slidell avenue, was arrested by
the police and charged with assault
and robbery as the result of the
holdup of Fred Vitter, IA years, of
GA Dumaine street, employed to
deliver packages for c. Lazard of
Canal street. Burgau, after being
identified by Vitter and also by Mack
Vincent. negro, who witnessed the
act, confessed and gave the police
information which led them to re-
cover the stolen articles from under
a house at 537 Vallette street, where
Burgau says he threw them. Bur
gau, under the pretense of showing
Vitter how to reach McDonoghville
late Thursday evening, led him to
River street, between Homer and
Slidell, grabbed the package he was
carrying and fed. He was arrested
later at his home.

WORK TO BE BEGUN SOON.

With the New Orleans District
Conference on record pledging 3d.
900 to the Algiers Methodist congre-
CATION for a new church building,
the erection of that structure seems
to be an assured improvement with
in the next few months. The reso-
luton pledging the $4,000 was
adopted by the New Orleans District
Conference in session at Felicity
Church Wednesday evening.
Rev. C.. C. Weir announces that
plans will go forward at once toward
the construction of the building and
he hopes to have the building COM
pleted by November 1. The struc-
ture will cost $4,000, besides the
lots located on Opelousas avenue.
The Algiers Methodist Church was
destroyed by the September storm
of 1915, and that congregation has
been making heavy sacrifices since
that time in order to realize the
$4,000 needed for the new location
and building.

CONTRACTORS COMMIT
TEE MAKES STATE
MEhT
Nil. DONNER'S STATEMENT NOT
YET MADE.
STATEMENT OF COMMITTEE.

The statement of the governing
committee of the General Contract
ors' Association, in full, follows:
Charles j. Bonner was employed
as secretary of the General Contract
Ors' Association on August /, 1917,
and on January -. 1918. his resig-
nation was requested TO take effect
February %, 1918
He requested explanation of the
governing committee in the Office of
the association, 30J Tulane-New.
comb Building. and they informed
him that his services were no longer
required because, while his services
as clerk might be satisfactory, he
did not, in the opinion of the gov.
ernlng committee, possess the gen.
eral qualifications TO perform the
duties devOlving upon the secretary
of such an association.
Bonner had conceived the idea
that he was being prosecuted by a
high city official and that the infu-
ence of such official was behind the
request for his resignation.
That he was being prosecuted is
a pure vagary is evidenced by the
statements made to Bonner by men,
bers Of the governing committee, in
Guiding that Of the president of the
association. When Bonner asked for
the reasons for his dismissal. he was
given the reasons as outlined above.
This association has been in
formed that about the middle of
February. C. J. Bonner employed the
Burns Detective Agency to install a
dictaphone Tor similar device) in
the office of this association: not c..
}. DOnner's office. and the agency did
install such device, and, further
more, that the agency furnished at
least two operatives in connection
with the operation of same; that the
installation was made without the
kno ledge or consent of any officers
or members of the association, ex-
cepting c. J. Bonner, who was a paid
emplOye; that after its installation
Bonner, under various pretexts, in
weighed members of the governing
committee This employers) into con-
versation pertaining to Donner's dis
missal; that disconnected fragments
of these conversations were recorded
by stenOgrapher and afterwards
typed; later, complete statements
purporting to be conversations were
written up in long hand on letter
heads upon which were printed the
name of c ]. Donner."

IN NEW CALL OF
THE DRAFT ARMY

Moline and the upper end OF the
county will contribute 80 of the A.
000 men called for entrainment in
the five-day period, beginning May
%, according to a telegram received
by the Moline exemption board from
the adjutant general of the state.
This contingent will be sent to Fort
Thomas, Ky. The board is asked
to respect, if practicable, instruc-
tfons relating to exemption Of men
actively engaged in farming. But,
says the telegram, if the district
is unable to fill its allotment from
within class l, the board will pro-
coed to select such farmers as IN
its Judgment can best be spared.
The same rule is effective in Sc
lecting % men for the call of May
90
So far as can be learned this dis
trict will be able to supply both
quotas without the necessity of call
ing farmers. Two hundred and
seventy-five class I men have been
called to I'LL the quota of 210 men,
due to depart May %, which will
leave 90 to draw from in filling the
quota of May 90 A new list will
have to be made for the May 20
call.

SEEKS BAND FOR
NUCLEUS OF ONE
PLANNED LARGER

The Moline Pillow company has
been asked 10 have its band serve
as tho nucleus upon which to build
a gigantic musical organization.
From rumors it is gathered that
the movement is for the purpose OF
forming an organization of such
size as to make it possible to split
il into five units to permit concerts
being given simultaneously in the
five towns contributing to it-Dav-
export, Rock Island. Moline, East
Moline and Bettendorf.
1t is understood that the plan is
to furnish workmen and their fam
lilies of the five cities with whole
some diversion Sunday afternoons
and possibly on Saturday after
moons during the summer in public
places where they are wont to
gather for recreation.
1t Will be necessary to assemble
an organization OF not less than
100 pieces, which would give band
of 20 to each town
