STOCKING LEGS
READY; ONLY FEET
NEED BE KNITTED

The knitting department of the
local Red Cross is Offering a novel
" in knitting. Women are being
asked to knit the feet of stockings
OF which the legs are already mace
and some half a hundred such
pairs of stockings on which the
tedious part is already completed,
are now really for distribution.
There is a knitting machine at
the Red Cross work rooms upon
which yards and yards of straight
knitting may be turned out in al
most no time at all; bus to make
the feet upon the machine is quite
another matter; and so the Red
Cross is knitting Hp pounds of
yarn into stocking legs, and fhe
women of the city are appealed to
TO make them whole by adding
the feet. 1t is easy, quick work,
the women at headquarters say,
and in a few hours one has the
satisfaction of beholding az com
pleted pair.
Every indication points to the
success ofa the Red Cross in dis
tributing its quota of knitted wear
before the close of the month. pro-
vided former knitters will help
with something of the same spirit
they displayed during the months
Of fighting. 1t was then a problem
of providing comforts; it is now
a question Of providing necessities
clothing for those who have none
worthy the name and have no
means of securing any except what
is sent to them. Rock Island is
taking care of few of the hun
dreds of thousands of children who
have endured what none can pic
ture. Five hundred warm little
sweaters are already in the process
of making; the chapter is appeal
ing to all knitters to help make
500 pairs of stockings as well; it
is Rock Islands assigned share in
the work of relief of human SUI
fering.

WILL ENFORCE
LIQUOR ORDER
Mayor Schriver Declares That New
Ordinance on Booze VIII be
Lived Up To.
ALL BOOTLEGGERS MUST GO
Have Waxed Prosperous Long
Enough is Opinion of Executive
Following Peoples Wish.

Following close on the heels Of
tie passing of the city liquor ordi-
nance which subsequent enforce
ment is intended to make the city
OF Rock Island as dry as the
Sahara, Mayor Harry Schriver
made the announcement today that
war on the bootleggers has start
ed in earnest
They are prosperous enough, -
is the way his honor explained his
view of the situation. And he fur
tier added, that the new ordinance
will fix all that
Mayor SchriVer is of the opinion
tat the illegal sale of liquor will
become a lost art in the very near
future and although he has made
no statement on his opinion re
garding the probable passing of
the search and seizure act, his ad-
vice is that liquor itself will auto
matically become a scarce com
modify around this city.
Not the Best.
"The people have spoken" said
Mayor Schriver. 'and now that
highballs, fiZzes and other former
popular connections are taboo &C
cording to the public will, it is
up to the authorities to enforce
the law. The brand of liquor that
the bootleggers are now putting
out is not of the variety that would
appeal to most moderate drinkers
and the most sensible thing is to
leave it alone"

blown with the precision and neat
that expert yeggs had turned the
trick, but clues as to the per-
petrators were few.
The Pinkerton detective agency
took up the case at the request
of the railroad.
+ Three months later, in a preten-
tious hotel at Montreal, Canada,
Pinkerton operatives trapped Al
len, Maxwell and their pal, A gun
battle followed, jim which two of
the bandits were severely wound
ed. Resistance of the outlaws was
finally overcome and the trio cap
tured.
Then came the trial and convic-
ton Because there were inhab-
itants in the building in which the
safe had been blown, the use of
explosives in such a building pro-
hibited indeterminate sentences.
And so each was committed to
prison for the balance of their ma
tural lives the penalty demanded

of the money was recovered with
the exception of approximately
s10,0O0-spent by the three in Mon
treal preceding their capture.

New York's famous penitentiary.
MaxweIrs health gave way and he
died.
Allen is yet in prison. a pardon
being denied him because he killeo
a guard-cut him with a knife fol-
lowing an alteration.
The third offhe trio was in Rock
leland yesterday. He was pardon
ed by Governor Whitman. His
name is w. R. Butler-and he
spent 81 of the best years of his
life behind the bars. When he anu
his pals were taken in Montreal,
Butler had $4,000 in bills sewed
in his clothing. In the battle he
vas shot through the neck ana
several times in the legs. So ran
his story.
Now he's an old man, stopped
ard crippled. He walks with the
prison shuffle-the result Of p
years of instruction.
Was it worth it?
He shakes his head sadly-noi
And to prove his sincerity he is
lecturin COVER the country with
pictures, warning the youth who
has a tendency toward lawlessness.
