The Daebelliehn meat market.

Non one was injured in the collis-

The street car jumped the tracks

said, to an inefficient switch, and
plunged north toward the market.
Instead, it cOllided with the ma

The switch at Twenty-fifth ave-

CONDEMNS u. S.
RAIL OWNERSHIP
L. II. Clausen Tells Deere Employees
Government Control is a
Costly Failure.

Members of the Foremen's club
of the John Deere Pillow works were
addressed last evening by l.. r.
Clausen, acting vice president of
Deere & Co., on the subject of gov
eminent ownership. By way of
illustration he analysed the rail-
road situation before and since the
federal government took hold d
subject with which he is thor
oughly familiar. Action of the gov
eminent in this instance, the
speaker pointed out is only mani
festation of the hysteria and IN
sound reasoning that is creeping
into the solution" of big prob
lens, growing out of the world war.
The railroads today, said Mr.
Clauusen, are losing money at the
rate of $50, 900, 900 a month under
government ownership, which
means that at the end of year the
deficit will be very close to $780,
900 900. This despite the fact that
the government not long ago auth
Orized an increase in freight
rates amounting to actually 30 per
cent. The increase was announced
as 20 per cent, but by re-classifying
the commodities, the boost amount
ed TO IS per cent. and an analysis of
the figures shows that Deere & Co.
is paying AZ per cent more than be-

fore the % per cent increase be-
came effective. In order to head
off this deficit, the speaker pre-
dicted the government will declare
an additional increase of Is to %
per cent; it is inevitable, he said.
Propaganda of uplifters against
the railroads caused the federal
government to fall for this costly
experiment, he said.
Mr.. Clausen took the position
that if government ownership is d
good thing, we should have it. But
he condemned this thing of intelli-
gent people being carried away by
theoretical eloquence and aligning
themselves with alarmists, who
peddle poisonous nostrums about
the country.

per was served. Gust GTantZ, vice
president oGthe club, presided ia

STEALS LIQUOR

William Rede Employed by Amer
lean of East Moline, Claims
He's Innocent

Temptation, it is alleged, caused
VILLAIN Rede to steal a case OF
liquor from the American Express
company in East Moline. Rede is
employed as drayman on one or the
express company's trucks.
Yesterday afternoon Rede was ar
rested on complaint of the company
on charge of larceny. When taken
to the station, he pleaded not guilty
and said that he did not know
where any case of liquor was and
that he had not seen any.
He was to be tried in the court
of Dan Maskell. justice of the
peace, at s o'clock this evening. 1t
is probable that the charge will be
changed to one of disorderly con-
duct.

Beginning at left are Sergeant
Kenneth w. Murphy. Gaiesburg;
Sergeant Glenn B. Moore, Moline;
Eskall Henning Bloom; Corporal
John c. Robb, Rock Island, the
quartet known as the "ArgOnne
Comedy Four" not only through
out their division, but III the en-
tire American eXpeditionary forces.
Corporal Clarence E. Malcolm OF
Moline sent the above picture to
be published in The Argus, tOgeth-
er with the story of the quartet
that has attained fame III a man
ner other than fighting, an accom-
plishment that has not come amiss
since the days of fighting have
been over.
Writing from Lintgen. Luxem-
bourg, Corporal Malcolm says of
the above men:
Thinking that perhaps it might
be of interest for our home folks
to know that the boys of this bat
terry have been entertained by good
talent within the battery. ] enclose
herewith a photograph OF the Ar
gonne Comedy Four. famous not
only throughout the One Hundred
field artillery, but in the entire A.
E. F.
The artistic pose at the left of
the photo is no other than Ser
geant Kenneth W. Murphy of
Galesburg, Ill. No. l don't mean
that Shamrock would do such a
thing as try to pose. He is just
pitching the tune for the rest of
the gang. No one can seem to
understand why his left foot is so
far forward. 1t may be that he
sees an enemy plane and IS getting
ready to make some kind of
quick movement. At any rate.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1919-05-17

Murphy is good at the comedy
stuff. He has an automobile act
that's a real scream.
Next in line is Sergeant Glenn
R. Moore of Moline. Many Moline
people know Glenn's ability as an
actor and entertainer, and then, OF
course, lots of time spent in the
cschelOn enabled him to brush up
bit on the little things that ere
ate laughter for the comedy seek
er. Yes. and he's been all around
France getting himself lined up on
all this late comic dope and song
stuff from Paris to Luxembourg.
If Glenn ever gets past New York
City and escapes the theatrical
managers in that city it will be
in the morning.
Next on the picture is Chief
Mechanic Eskall Henning Bloom,
even if he does look like I football
PLAYER who has just washed his
head. Where he ever learned to
sing nobody knows. but it is ru-
mored that when at the front one
does most anything to keep up his
courage, so | guess that's where
he got his practice. 1t will sure
be a treat for Moline folks to hear
him.
Last but not least is Corporal
John c. Robb, who thinks he can
talk German, or Luxembourg, even
though from Rock Island, III. Word
has been received that Corporal
Robb is to join the New York OPP
era company upon his arrival in
the states, as their fist chair
basso. AS he is noted as a char
acter singer. he will no doubt make
his big splash in the states with
his own late number, Ven We Vas
in de Army"
