CHOSEN TO HIGH
OFFICE IN STATE
EAGLE AUXILIARY

Mrs. p. J. Carlson OF this city
was elected past grand worthy
president, the highest office of the
ladies' auxiliary to the Eagles at
the first meeting of the grand lodge
held this week in East ST. Louis.
Mrs. Joseph Grotegut received the
election to the next highest office,
that of grand worthy president.
Mrs. Lena Nordgort of Davenport
was chosen vice grand worthy
president, and Mrs. ]. W. Wilson of
Silvis, secretary.
In addition to their representa-
tives elected to Office. the local
auxiliary drill team won the low
ing cup in the competitive drill
which was put on, that being the
award to the team making the best
showing. Three other teams were
entered for the contest.
This was the first meeting of the
grand lodge of the auxiliary. AS
yet it is not recognized by the
mems order but will be eventually
when the organization becomes
stronger. The auxiliary will meet
in Rock Island next year at the
same time as the mems state con-
vention. It is hoped by that time
that the lodge will be recognized
by the mems organization.

RULING STOPS
LIQUOR SEARCH
Prohibition Men Have No Right TO
Examine Baggage of Inter-
state Passengers.

Notification was received this
week by the Rock Island lines to
the effect that the practice in use
by state prohibition officers OF
stopping at will any or all inter
state passengers and searching
their baggage to detect and confis-
cate liquor, is not backed up by
law.
The United States supreme court
has decided that this cannot be
done. Interstate passengers are
entitled to pass through a prohibi-
ton state with liquor in their pos
session. The attention of the pro-
ribition officers has beer called to
this opinion of the supreme court
by John Barton Payne. general
counsel of the United States rail
road administration. and he has
asked them to instruct their Off
GERS to comply with the law as
now settled.
This ruling will do away
with much embarrassment hitherto
brought on passengers by the Of
hcers. There will be no more
stopping of persons on trains while
crossing the Rock Island bridge
or in the Rock Island and Daven-
port stations, for the purpose OF
baggage searching-applying the
decision locally.

WANT MOUNTED
POLICEMAN FOR
MOTOR TRAFFIC
Plan Of PatrOling Loop Streets With
Officer on Horse Gets Sc
r-Ous Consideration.

A mounted police officer probably
will patrol loop streets in the near
future to handle traffic.
Police officials and the city COM
mission has under consideration
the matter of providing a mounted
policeman. It is figured that an Of
ficer on duty from IL in the morn
ing until IL at night would be able
to handle the traffic much better
than it can be on foot. With the
additional money available under
the increased municipal tax limit,
the city will have finances which
will enable it to give the matter of
a mounted officer serious consid-
Grafton.
Another motorcycle has been
purchased and there will now be
two motorcycle officers. Their
work will be confined almost en-
tirely towards apprehending viola
tors of the ordinance on motor
behicles.
Chief Tom Cox declares that he
needs more men to properly police
the city and declares that the force
should be much larger than it is.

CONTRACTS LET
FOR new BOATS
Waterways Association Order Four
TOWbOast From Three Al
lied Building Concerns.

Contracts have been let to three
southern construction companies
by the Mississippi Valley Water
ways association, for the building
of four new towboats, to e used in
the upper Mississippi + feet.
A letter was received y the
Rock Island Chamber G. Nnmerce
from James E. Smith, pIesldent Of
the association, part OF which fol-
lows:
You will be pleased to NOW
that the contracts for the building
of the four modern stee. towboats
for use on the upper Missis 51ppi
river were finally let on Monday.
1.-The contract was given to an
organization made up Of an alliance
between the following concerns:
Minneapolis Steel and Machinery
company, Minneapolis, MINI. +;
Marietta Manufacturing company,
Point Pleasant, W. Va; st. Louis
Boat and Engineering company, St
Louis.
"The work of the construction of
the boats will be divided between
the three TSdulZdllOuSs d part II
the work being done in each of the
three cities referred to.
THE cost of the boats will be
$3.50. 1000 each, and as the alliance
of these three construction con-
Germs makes an unusually strong
organization, there is no doubt but
that the work will be carried to
completion at the earliest possible
time, and that the boats when con-
structed, will be f1rst-class in every
respect.
1T is hoped that the boats will
be completed SO that they may be
put into use early next season"
1t will be remembered that last
year SO 800 900 was appropriated
by the national government at the
petition of the Mississippi Valley
Waterways association, to be used
for building a feet of four boats
and "a barges. These were to be
utilized in carrying coal to the

STONE INDUSTRY
IS ON INCREASE,
SAYS AN EXPERT

Joseph Evans of the national
census bureau, who has recently
completed a tour of the United
States in connection with the stone
industry, gave some interesting
statements in Rock Island today in
regard to the future of limestone,
sandstone and other material of a
similar substance.
He said that the use of stone had
been falling behind during the last
few years on account of the new
era of terra Gotta and cement, but
it is now regaining a foothold.
The chief cause for the increas-
ed use OF stone, according to Mr..
Evans, is the invention of new ma
chimes for the purpose of mining
the material. When terra Gotta
and cement came into use a few
years ago, limestone was then be-
ing taken from the quarries by
hand alone and the quarry owners
were unable to compete with the
comparatively cheap production OF
cement and terra Gotta. Now, he
says. new devices have enabled the
miners to dig out and transport
stone at a much less expense, and
more contractors now consider the
use of stone in building.
There are 100000 men engaged
in the. stone industry in the United
States at present. Indiana and Colo
RADIO furnishing more than any 9TH
er states.
Mr. Evans has just arrived in
Rock Island from cities in the west,
including Denver. He is a former
resident of Rock Island and is now
the stone expert for the national
government

delay contracts for 19 of the "a
proposed barges were let, and these
will all be in use by the opening
of next season Bids for building
the four towboats were called for
some months ago, and when sub
mitted, it was found they called
for an amount largely in excess of
the sum allowed for them in the
previous appropriation. In April
an additional appropriation of
$780, geo was secured. 1t is this
sum which will be drawn on in
purchasing the boats ordered on
