WERE SIX MEN
U.S.DEPUTIES?
That Question Arises as Raiders
Depart from Rock Island After
Week Spent Here.
40 REPORTS ARE ISSUED
United States Commissioners of
Rock Island and Davenport
Know Nothing of Visit.

Did anyone give up liquor on the
government viaduct between Rock
Island arsenal and Davenport and
then escape without being re-
ported?
That question has arisen with
the departure of six men from Rock
Island who called themselves fed
eral represen of the Unit
ed States department of justice,
and who made raids nightly during
the last week. on the island.
They stopped practically every
automobile and vehicle that cross
ed from Rock Island to Davenport
IN the search of transporters of
liquor, but deputy Deputy United
States marshals and United States
commissioners of Rock Island and
Davenport didn't know that the
six men were here until they read
it in the newspapers.
Even Colonel Harry B. Jorhan,
Rock Island arsenal commandment,
was unaware of the presence of
the raiders, and said that he had
given no permission to anyone to
stop vehicles that crossed the
bridges.
People are now asking whether
or not the six men were federal
agents. 1t is said that more than
one motor car driver turned over
liquor to the federal men, but was
allowed to proceed, whereas it is
the custom of the department of
Justice representatives to place Of
tenders into custody and hold them
until bonds can be placed for their
release.

Ing system on car Is too complicated
to be mastered. But 1t is not ut all
difficult to learn how to take care Of
1t. The battery, the lights, the am
meter, the fuses and the wires can
readily be understood and should be
inspected occasionally. Every motor
list should know how to read hydrom-
eter and test the battery. The Gel
luloid hydrometer Is better than the

SO easily broken.
A reading Of from 1875 to 1900 In

dition and is being properly charged
by the generator. II the reading Is
down to 1900 II indicates that the
lights or the the starter are being used

Keep the battery terminals tight
and cover them with cup grease to

Watch Ammeter Closely.
The ammeter should be watched

When the chr is running at normal
speed-say 20 miles an hour-with all
lights on, the ammeter should show

will soon be discharged. Always see
that the ammeter doesn't register dis
charge when the lights and ignition
are turned of. This would be caused
BY, a short circuit between the ammeter
and the switch.
