Change in train schedules on the
Rock Island line will take effect, in
part. Feb. u.
F. H. Plummer. local passenger
agent for the road has received worl
that the schedule which should have

change is in the Peoria branch. In
stead of three trains from Rock Is
land to that city, only two will run.
The Chicago train, No. 2, leaving here

train will take the place Of the noon
run. The train will leave Rock Island

This change in the Chicago run will
make a great Improvement. 1t guar

MERCURY CLIMB
REDUCES USE OF
COAL 0NE-THIRD
Warm Weather Of Today Decreases
Consumption OF Fuel and Places
City in Fair Shape.
MUST STILL CONSERVE SUPPLY
H. A. Cleyenstine. Chairman Of County
Board, Says Consumers Must
Continue Economy.

The mild weather of today reduced
the consumption of coal in Rock Is
land by one-third.
This is the opinion of H. A. eleven
slime, chairman of the Rock Island
fuel board, who expressed the belief
that three or four days of temperatures
as moderate as that of today would
place the city or fair way to nor
NAL.
But we don't want to feel as
though we are high and dry, for we're
not. We are in good shape temporar-
lily, but any little thing might happen
right now which will completely upset
everything and folks will be back beg
ging for coal again.
This mild weather will reduce the
consumption of coal about one-third.
We have already felt the effects of it.
This morning there were only four
orders for coal needed at once, re-
ceived by the emergency fuel board.
Monday there were 60 calls. Three
days of mild weather will place us in
a good way, but not safe. 1t looks as
though we won't be high and dry until
spring is here and the domestic use of
coal is reduced to the minimum.
Il would take the action of Garfield
| and McAdoo in Washington yesterday
| in refusing to rescind the Monday
closing order, to show that conditions
require a continuation of the conser-
walton program to the fullest extent"
Have 500 Tons.
! An early morning survey showed
about five hundred tons of coal in the
, local yards with about twenty-eight
hundred tons in transit. With the
mild weather this is sufficient for tenn
porary needs.
| Rock Island is not as hard hit as
some other cities in this state and in
the east. Mr.. Clevenstine has reports
showing that in some cities factories
were compelled to shut down complete
ly because of inability to get coal and
that other cities were on their knees
continually for fuel.
Rock Island is not as bad off as
many Places" Mr. Clevenstine said
I'VE have not been so short that there
was real suffering here. East Moline
was probably in the worst shape blu,
today relief is being given. Moline is
in about the same condition as ROcl
Island"
Twenty Cars Coal Coming.
H. A. Clevenstine, local fuel admin
istrator, announced late this after
noon that he had received word from
Peoria that 20 cars of coal would b.
started for Rock Island at 4 o'clocl
this afternoon. The train is due tt
arrive here tomorrow morning. Bias
ing on an average of so tons to ca
the train would contain 1000 tons.
The switch terminals at Peoria hav'
been greatly congested during thu
past week, but due to the advent o
warmer weather today, great progress
was made ia relieving the situation.

LOCAL SOLDIER IS
REDUCED IN RANK
BY HAVING BOOZE

The Unsuitable appetite of Sergeant
Gail Jacobs of Rock Island for alco-
holic concoction, cost him his brevets
and two-thirds of his pay for three
months.
He probably will not miss the money,
however. for he will spend the payless
period in the guardhouse at Camp
Dodge. Officers at the, cantonment
were willing to let Sergeant Jacobs
consume dozen bottles of lemon ex-
tract, which he appropriated from the
company supplies. but when he was
caught with the genuine red liquor in
his possession he was punished by a
general court martial.
Jacobs was mess sergeant of Com
pany c, 313th engineers, at Camp
Dodge. In this capacity he had access
to the mess supplies. One day he took
q dozen bottles of extract, it is charged
and drank the contents for the effect
that the alcohol would give. He was
acquitted on this charge, however.

Six hundred tons of coal daily from

and would loan the engine and crew to

The county fuel board has had the
matter up with Dan Coughlin, division
superintendent of the Rock Island in

days. Mr. Clevenstine inquired at the

will go to the consumers in the tri-
