ONE-HORSE POWER
PUMP PREVENTS A
HUGE STOCK LOSS

Several thousand dollars loss in
rugs and other material at the
Shallene Brothers furniture store
adjoining the New York store on
Fifth avenue, Moline, was prevent
ed last night by a miniature one
horse centrifugal Wesco pump, the
product of the Western Pump COM
pany.
The basement of the Shallene
store was flooded to the depth OF
several feet of water used in
quenching the blaze in the adjoin-
ing store. The prorprietors of the
Shallene store sent a hurry-up call
to the Western Pump company for
an outfit that could be used to
pump out the water.
Low and behold. when the outfit
arrived the proprietors of the fur
niture store nearly dropped in their
tracks. They beheld a small COM
pact pump and a miniature one
horse power motor that had at
tached TO it wire and plug.
Screw it in an electric lamp
socket" directed the pump company
representative. The pump was
started and the basement was
cleared of water before morning
The pump has the capacity of
pumping 1000 gallons of water an
hour.
Incidentally. the Western Pump
company recently supplied the wa
teTwOrks outfit for am entire town.
Lost Nation, Iowa. was in the mar
ket for a pumping outfit. A five
horse power gasoline pump outfit,
capable of pumping 1000 gallons
of liquid an hour was installed in
the town together with an automat-
ic tank. The pump is in daily use
today. When in need of cleaning.
the outfit is carried to the Nome of
the city engineer by himself. 1t
weighs less than the ordinary
sized man.

SIDEILGHTS ON MOILNES BIGGEST
FIRE IN CITY'S BUSINESS SECTION

James Pierr, owner of the build
| ing and proprietor of the store, who
left on buying trip for New YORK
/ yesterday noon, was wired at Blu
reau Junction. When he finished
reading the telegram he wired back,
Keep the home fires burning"
thinking that someone had hoaxed
him. knowing that Mr.. Pierr had
not caught the true light of the tel
egram, the store heads wired again,
and this time caught the proprietor
at Joliet No trains were west
bound at that time, so Mr. Pierr
rode to Chicago, and taking the next
train back, arrived in Moline early
this morning.
Miss Marion Van Buskirk, eleya-
tor girl, had made five trips after
she had realized the seriousness of
the fire, and each time brought
down a packed elevator. She did
not give up until she was forced to.
Walter Yaeger, manager. then took
charge and continued to make sew
eral trips. IF l only could have
stuck a little longer the girls
wouldn't have had to jump through
the windows and climb down the
fire escapes" said the elevator girl
when questioned as to how she
could have stuck that long.
One of the girls had just time
enough to reach for her coat, hat
and new set of furs, but she for
got her purse, which contained SG5
in cash
Miss Lillian Gustafson, 1877 Third
street, employed in the alteration
department, incurred several minor
wounds when she thrust her fist
through a glass window in order to
break it and reach the fire escape
from the second floor. Dozens of
other girls, names unknown, also
received severe bruises
One young woman, who sustain
ed deep cash on her scalp, was
taken to her home in the city am
bulance
j. n. Shallene aided 20 girls from
the second and third floors to es-
cape suffocation by climbing down
the fire escape.
Stimulants, steaming hot coffee
and sandwiches were served the
fire fighters during their trying
ordeal Mayor Clarence Trevor en-
gineered the treat, and was ably
assisted by Mrs. Rose Salisbury,
police matron, and several willing
young women from the city hall
Boy Scouts, soldiers, sailors and
home guards aided magnificently
IN keeping the throng back from
the scene. Scoutmaster H. NJ. Craig
and his Boy Scouts are deserving of
much credit for the able manner in
which they assisted the police Off
GERS in maintaining the fire lines.

vacancy in the pulpit of the First
Baptist church of Moline, left so by
Kew. r. $. Babcock, who is in
France helping in the reconstruc-
ton of the devastated countries. 1t

Shepard will accept. One reason
why he may not accept the pulpit,
is the offer given MIN by the Bap-
.Ist Mission society urging him to
do mission work among the Chi
nese on the Pacific coast.
DIR. Shepard has been engaged in
Chinese mission work for years.
His labors were mostly confined TO
the country Of China. Every effort
will be made to have DIR. Shepard
in the local pastorate. but in the
event that the efforts fail, another
pastor will be secured Immediately.

RED FLAG HELD
{ HIGH BY WOMAN
Mrs. Kate O'Hara. Socialist Speak.
or, Says America Needs
WOrkingmen's Council.

Every one fears the red flag, for
they know its power. Every flag
in the world has a stain of red on
it some place When one says he
fears or hates the red flag, he fears
or hates the stars and stripes, for
hasn't that red in it,"
So did Mrs. Kate Richards O'Hara
Socialist leader and orator, uphold
Bolshevism and declare its good to
a nation. Mrs. O'Hara spoke to
an audience of 500 at the Moline
Turner hall last evening. The hall
was beautifully decorated in the
American flags and colors and Mrs.
O'Hara wore a red carnation; the
Socialists emblem was tied with
red bows and red carnations also
decorated the assembly.
Our soldiers went over to
France and fought. They are COM
ing back with nothing but coolies
and a good dose of Bolshevism." she
declared. And they are going to
make all the rich kaisers of this
country suffer. In the Revolution
airy war our forefathers rebelled
against their oppressors. They had
the nerve to do it and we will have
nerve enough to rebel and get our
rights.
THE Bolshevists overthrow the
Russian government and they are
the working people. What we need
and will get in this country is
workingmen's council"
Mrs. OHara predicted her quick
death when she begins her five
year sentence in the federal pris-
on at Jefferson City, Mo-, Feb. 9.
She was recently convicted for vi
olating the espionage act. She
said she would be dead in less than
six months for her spirit couldn't
live shut in and in that time she
would convert every prisoner in
the cells.
Before the close of the meeting
a collection was made so that her
children might be cared for and
educated while she is serving her
time.

! A shudder crept up the spines of
hundreds of spectators when the
water-soaked form of a woman was
brought to a second-story window,
facing Fifth avenue. A story was
rampant that all but one clerk had
been accounted for, and whether or
not she had escaped from the burn

the fears were as quickly dispelled
