over $500, 900 in Liberty loan

date over 100000 in cash and

the subscriptions through the banks
designated by the individual Lib

Subscriptions made here are in
some cases to be taken up through
banks as far away as Porto Rico
Banks in cities near by as well as
in distant parts of the United

not positive whether or not this

subscriptions to be cleared through
banks in other cities, but considers
1t is probable that it will not be.
However, this will not reduce
Rock Islands subscription quota, as
such sums are equalized by sub
scriptions taken in other cities and
cleared through banks in Rock Is
land, which subscriptions would be
credited to Rock Island in case

FIND De MINCK
GUILTY OF Sale
Jury Returns Verdict Against Mo
line Soft Drink Proprietor
on Liquor Charge.

David De Minck of Moline. on
trial in circuit court for the sale Of
Intoxicating liquor in anti-saloon
territory, was found guilty on two
counts by the jury after delibera-
ton of about twelve hours. The
verdict was reached at midnight
last night The case was left with
the jurors at noon yesterday.
Principal witness for the state
was George F Moore, a detective
working for States Attorney Floyd
l.. Thompson. He visited the De
Minck residence where the liquor
was declared to have been sold in
the guise of an iceman. The De
Minck residence is located at 1928
Seventh avenue, Moline
Trial of the case was featured BY
heated verbal battles between the
states attorney and P r. Ingleson,
attorney for the defense Mr.. In
Gleson in his closing argument vic.
iOusly attacked the testimony of
Moore, whom he characterized as a
paid investigator and consequently
one who would produce evidence if
Ii had TO be manufactured
A surprise was sprung in the
case when Ben Gulley, an iceman
employed by a Moline Ice company.
was called by the state to confirm
the testimony of Moore, who swOre
on the witness stand that he had
bought whisky at the De Miuck
home Gulley, however. fatty con-
tradicted testimony which, he IS
said to have given before the grand
jury. He said yesterday on the
stand that he had never paid for
drinks at the De Minck home. and
had never seen Moore pay for any,
although he admitted having heIped
himself to whisky at the De MincK
residence on a number of occasions.
At that States Attorney ThOmp-
son asked the witness if he had not
testified before the grand jury. He
said he had. At this juncture the
defendants attorney jumped to his
feet protesting against the states
attorney impeaching his own wit
ness.
