ARSENE SIEGEL,
PIANIST, DRAWS
LARGE AUDIENCE

A good audience was in attend
ance at the recital given at the Mo
line high school last evening by
Arsene Siegel, pianist, and Mary
Lindsay Oliver, vocalist, who intro
duced the young composer by re-
lating the conditions under which
he had written the movement of the
concerto used on the program at
the age of Is years.
To write a concerto at all at such
time was in itself surprising, but
when actually put on paper in the
course of eight hours at night in
bed, it showed Enthusiastically the
rare mental grasp of the writer.
The program opened with this num-
Der, which pleased the audience be-
cause its lines are big and bold and
its harmonies those of maturer
years
Mr.. SiegeI contributed two groups
of music which with explanatory
notes on the program held the in
terest of the audience throughout.
A brilliant valse opened the first
group, followed by a Fantastic Pa
thetique called the Splint, a work
on six motives, which showed un-
the deeper possibilities
Of the writer along the lines of re-
Elective expression.

CITY To ADOPT
FACTORY PLANS
Commission to Install Dual Check
System Upon Written Rec
OmmendatiOn of State.

Moline city officials and factory
heads have come to an agreement
wherein Moline's water problem
has been solved The city has ac-
cepted the plan recommended by
the state department Of health to
install the double check valve
system in the seven connections
between factory and city mains.
and will do so upon written ap-
prevail of the plan of the state.
Formal acceptance of the plan will
not be made until the written or
der of approval and recommends
ton is received, which, according
to II. F. Matte, chief engineer for
the state, declares will be submit
ted without delay.
The water trouble grows out Of
the typhoid epidemic of last sum-
mer. Victims of the disease allege
that polluted water was allowed
to run into the city mains. The
state board of health was advised
and it recommended thai the two
systems be divorced. Since then
there have been extensive tests
made, and the state board sug
gested the dual check system.
Under the new system to be in
stalled there will be two gate
valves, and between these two
gate valves will be two check
valves. Water from city mains
may be pumped into factory mains.
but no water from factory mains
may come into city mains except
that in case of a serious conflagra-
ton, and failure of the city pumps
to work. the valves could be taken
out, thus making it possible to
provide a water pressure from fac
tory pumps to combat flames.
Water that is to 60 through
these seven valves will be filtered
water, furnished the factories for
their sprinkler systems. The only
water that may back up against
these valves will be filtered water
Those plants equipped TO pump
raw water direct from the rive-
for their boilers, for lavatOries an
for other shop purposes where fill
tered water is not required, must
either keep these systems divorced.
or they must also provide double
check valve systems within the r
own plants.
The valves are to be inspected
once a month, in accordance with
the agreement
