WITH THESE FEW DRAWBACKS
Critic Was Willing to Admit That the
Performance Might Be Called an
Excellent One.

Following his recent visit to the Rus
sian show, Cleric took In q Yiddish
performance Sunday evening, again, Of
course. at the expense of the house. He
begs to report the following ~irregulari-
ties: J
The regular comedienne. who is
very young, padded her figure and
played the part of mother to a heroine'
several times her size. On a street
scene drop there appeared, among 9TH
ers, an ad, "For Good Photos" Illus
trated by a portrait Of a cross-eyed
man with a twisted lip. The prompter
on occasion talked more loudly than
the actors. The professor-pianist gave
a very poor imitation of a man play
ing the plano on the stage, trusting
implicitly In the camoufage Of the
orchestra leader in the pit. A man
entered our box, and while we were
advising on the possibility of throwing
him out, we learned that he was the
manager of the house. The newly rich
mother Of the heroine went visiting on
her street. but remembered to take her
lunch along. consisting Of a corned
beef sandwich, a mapmoth pickle. and
a soft. drink. all purchased from the
delicatessen in front; the eatables she
drew from her bosom and the drink
from her stocking. The comedian
threw a kiss to the wildly applauding
fat man In the upper box. The broken
hearted lover used the same photo
graph as a portrait of his sweetheart
and Of his mother-we saw it on the
bias from the box.
However, adds Cleric. the perform
ance as a whole was excellent.-Cin-

DISMISS CASE.

William Lyon, 432 Seventh street
Moline, yesterday afternoon told Mag
listrate Gustafson that he was sorry
he had questioned the authority OF
Officer Pillath, who had arrested him
at the Thirteenth street crossing Tues
day evening. Lyon promised to obey
the traffic officers order in the future
and stated that he would not walk or
the railroad right of way. On motion
of City Attorney Johnston the charge
was dismissed. Magistrate Gustafsor
warned Lyon that the penalty for
| trespassing was severe and also ad-
vised him to obey an officers command
and to question his authority after
wards.
Lyon admitted that the story he told
yesterday regarding the officer being
abusive was somewhat exaggerated
Il didn't understand about the new
traffic policeman" he said, land
guess 1 was little rough, too"
The traffic officer denied he had been
abusive. Il was very busy checking
other pedestrians who attempted to
| walk On the right of way and l may
have talked little noisily or roughly
he said. But all | wanted was tC
have the regulations obeyed and to
protect Lyon and other pedestrians
from danger"

MINNEAPOLIS MAYOR
WILL GIVE ADDRESS

Arrangements have been completed
for an address at Turner hail. Mo-
line, next Wednesday evening by
Thomas Van Lear, mayor of Mime
apolis. He will appear under the au-
spices Of the Rock Island County So
cialists. Although he will discuss the
need Of working men becoming more
actively interested in politics in order
to better their station in life, he will
in all probability, touch on the war
and the relation Of labor to it.
Mayor Van Lear gained some
notoriety last year when he invited
the Peoples Council constituent as
sembly to convene in Minneapolis, but
Governor Turnquist overruled the city
executive and would not permit the
gathering, which was finally held in
Milwaukee. Mr.. Van Lear was elect
ed mayor in 1916. He is a machinist
by trade and was an organizer for
that organization in the northwest
previous to going into politics. He
has been associated with both the
labor and Socialist movements for a
quarter of a century.

EAST MOLINE AGAIN
HAS FUEL SHORTAGE;

East Moline's fuel situation has
again become serious. and unless there
is material relief before Sunday. there
may be real suffering in the city. 1t
is stated today there are less than
one hundred tons Of coal on hand in
yards of local dealers, and the stock
will not fill orders now on file. Diff
ficulty of making deliveries is adding
to the seriousness of the situation.
Several dealers are entirely out OF
coal now
There are about two cars Of coal on
hand in the East Moline lumber yards
and the Mueller Lumber company has
a small stock. Other dealers, it is un-
derstood, are practically out of coal.
Reports in East Moline are that the
situation in Moline is even more seri-
Gus, and that Rock Island conditions
are no better.

PLAN MORE HOUSES.

Out Of the discussion that took
place at yesterdays meeting of the
Moline Real Estate exchange. with r.
B. LOurie and c. l. Josephson pres
ent, it expected to develop some tangi-
BILE scheme for financing the building
of houses in Moline-not dozen, but
all that are needed to provide ade-
quate housing facilities.
A number of splendid suggestions
were advanced by the realty men, and
while none of them was adopted, by
a process of subtraction and substi-
tuition. the whole simmered down to
unanimity of opinion Of those
present.
The entire meeting was devoted to
the discussion of the one subject.

ATTEMPT TO KILL
MOLINE PEOPLE?
Several Ounces OF Ground Glass Found
in Flour by Family While Eat.
ing Their Supper.

What looks on its face to be dia-
bolical and definite pro-German
scheme to take the lives Of Moline
residents has been unearthed. Sew
eral ounces Of ground glass were
found in -four at a Plow city home
last evening and as result a rigid
order has been issued by the authori-
ties that no flour must be used until
it is properly sifted and examined.
Federal agents, assisted by local and
state officials. are conducting sweep
ing probe. United States operatives
are not permitting the use OF names
in connection with the alleged plot.
The startling discovery was made
when the family was at supper last
evening. Biscuits were served and as
one of the group bit into one he en-
| countered glass. An examination OF
the biscuit showed ground particles
of the hard substance scattered
| through it, while in the flour sack
was found several more ounces OF
glass, varying in size from the finest
powder to pebbles. All of the baked
/ goods in the home were destroyed at
once and this morning daughter
who is employed in a business Office
called her employers attention to the
incident and he in turn notified M. j
McEniry. assistant states attorney
( NJ. ]. Duryea of the Moline CONNER
cial club, City Attorney J. NJ. Johnston
and representatives of the federal de-
partment of justice were called into
consultation and an investigation is
on.
| Although the glass may have beer
accidentally placed in the -four, still
the agents of Uncle Sam are deter
mined to thoroughly investigate, and
until their work is completed it viii
not be known for certainty whethe!
there is any Hun perfidy interviewer
into the case or not.
Until they find out, the federal mer
are very insistent in their warning
that no flour should be used in thu
| city until it has been carefully scru
tinized.
The flour in question was purchased
several days ago, but none OF it wa!
used until last evening. The censor
ship established forbids publication o
any of the facts relative to where tn,
investigation is leading and what evi
dence regarding the plotters, if any
has been secured. But the entire mat
ter, it is known, is being given thu
closest possible attention and Their
may be some very interesting develop
ments-and then again there may nc
be.
