n ItNt Nus y at VASs
Rock Island is considered safe for
2 day or two for coal.
There were 500 tons of coal in the
local railroad yards today with 100
tons in transit. While last week the
amount enroute here was less than
the average for the previous week,
the supply in the yards was much
larger than Saturday. The result was
that all orders for coal were filled to-
dav. Yesterday POO tons were deliv-
cred in the city, the emergency fuel
hoard having kept its Office in the
Rock Island club open for business
because of the fact that on Saturday
many orders for fuel went unified
because OF the shortage. The board
is endeayoring to give each person IN
need of feel one ton of coal. The lin
il a week ago was one-half ton TO Il
customer.
The cold weather. it is thought, will
have a serious effect on the coal sup
ply here. II not only causes the rail-
roads to move fDel slower, but en-
hances the demand for fuel through
the necessity for the use of more.
Five traffic and purchasing experts
representing the best traffic experience
of the industries of Rock Island coun-
ty, were selected Saturday afternoon
TO go to coal junction points in an Ell
fort to trace and expedite coal ship
ments to this county.
The traffic and purchasing men
called by the county fuel commission
to aid In solving the coal problem
spent little time in debating and 9TH
erwse talking as to what should be
done. There was some slight discus
sion and the conference had agreed &c
send out the best men available.
The men left several hours after the
meeting One man went to Peoria
two to Galesburg and one each TO Blu
reau and Sheffield They were sent
out with specific instructions to trace
all coal assigned to this county and
after having traced that coal, to have
it hauled Immediately to Moline, Rocl
Island or East Moline.
Although the men are employees o.
industries they will serve equally the
factories and the consumers.
Nels Peterson. purchasing agent fol
Deere & Mansur company, was chosen
chairman of the traffic and purchas.

mission. Mr.. Peterson will supervise

WILL HOWARD QUIT
RACE FOR SENATE?
ATLANTA CONTRACTORS URGE
HIM TO STICK, 1T OUT DESPITE
RISING INFLUENCE IN FAVOR
OF HARRIS ,-..-,

Atlanta, Aug. 16.-Speculation is
rife in political circles as 10 whetehr
William Schley Howard will really run
his race to the finish, as he has de-
clared he will, or will eventually with
draw in the face of the rising influence
in favor of Harris.
The persons who now seem most in
terested in insisting on Mr.. Howard S
remaining in the race are the contrac-
tors who expect to benefit further
through their connection with him,
according to the impression prevalent
here. 1t is understood that the con
tractors who have sahred largely in
the profits at Camp Gordon, held a
meeting yesterday to urge Mr.. Howard
to remain in the race, and that the
man who made the strongest talk and
argument in his favor was the man
who has the contract for the manure
at Camp Gordon. J. r. Smith one OF
the largest contractors in the city
is Towards campaign manager.
Opinion is agreed that it is natural
for the people of Mr.. Towards home
town TO want him to remain in the race
on the chance fhis being elected
as they are the very ones who bene
fit most by his patronage.

dormer indows has undergone many
changes. The mighty battlements
overlooking the Foss river, of which
this tower was once a small part. have
crumbled away Ind the nearest point
of the Foss river, q branch of which
used to flow at the towers very base
is now 500 feet away. The Red Tower
with tht pleasing contrast OF gray

1t is said that IN the time of William
the Conqueror, a band of that rulers

banking the river. At later period a
fine-road called the Foss Island road.
was built above the river.
Altho the old loop-ho'es and watch
tower have not been used for many
a year. the large rooms on both floors
of the to--er have bet n much used and
the huge fireplace has served its pur-
pose well. The little Red Tower was
used for a long time as a place 20
manufacture brimstone-in fact, many
of the good folk of York have called
the tower BrimstoIe House ever since.
It has also been used several times as
a horse stable-quite a comedown for
the valiant little tower. But on the
whole, the folk round about York,
point to the Red Tower as a relic
characteristic of the defences of
York's early days.
