KNIFE PIERCES
SOLDIERS LUNG
Arthur Mcdaniel of Davenport F2-
tally Injured When Attacked
by Leroy MOckmOre.
BOTH JUST OUT OF SERVICE
Victim Was Wounded and Gassed
in France starts
at Welcoming Ball.

Arthur Mcdaniel, recently re-
turned from overseas service with
the American expeditionary forces,
is at Mercy hospital, Davenport,
today suffering from a probably
fatal wound inflicted by Leroy
Mockmore, also an ex-soldier. last
night at Fifth and Warren streets,
Davenport Mockmore stabbed Nc
Daniel with an 11-inch knife. Both
the young men are Davenporters.
Tho stabbing is said to have been
the windup of an argument which
started at the Coliseum earlier IN
the evening, where a welcome home
banquet and dance was staged for
Davenport's returning boys. Nc
Daniel saw service in the trenches
and was wounded and gassed, while
Mockmore, it is said, never went
across.
The argument is said to have
arisen over the fact that Mockmore
did not get a chance to get across
while Mcdaniel did.
Mockmore was placed under ar
rest and is being held by the Dav-
export police. Mercy hospital au-
thorities claim there is little chance
for McDaniel's recovery. The blade
of the knife pierced his right lung.

On behalf OF the Tri-City Rail-
way company the following state
ment summarizing some OF its con-
tentiOns made at the hearing in
Moline last week on its application
for 7-cent fares, is submitted to
the press:
The railway company presented
data at this hearing showing that
during the last six months of 1918
their income after operating OK
penses were paid and a moderate
allowance made for depreciation of
the property amounted to only
enough to pay interest at the rate
of 167 per cent per annum on the
investment, as figured by Mr.. Bart
lett, the utilities commission Ell
gineer. They also showed that
their earnings in the last four
months of 1918 amounted to less
than | per cent per annum. Based
on the experience of 40 different
street railway companies in the
United States, the additional rev
enue which the local street railway
companies will obtain through =
cent fare or four tickets for %
cents, will amount to sufficient to
pay interest on the investment ass
established by the utilities COM
mission of about per cent, if the
traffic does not fall off more than
tenth below what it has been dur
ing the last four months of 1918.
THE company also presented a
list of cities in the United States in
which fare increases have been
granted. This shows that fare in
creases have been granted in 2GG
cities. The highest of these fares
is 10 cents Eight-cent fares have
been allowed in 10 cities and 7-cent
fares in 73. SiX-cent fares have
been allowed in 116 cities. In the
properties controlled by the United
Light & Railway in Iowa and Iii
nois substantial financial relief has
been obtained on all railway lines,
whether city or interurban. except
the street car lines in the tri-citias.
A scent fare for the Cedar Rapids
& Marion City railway was carried
by a popular vote in the city Of
Cedar Rapids. A cents per mile
fare is now being charged by the

Rock Island residents defeated

TO increase the present tax of IL
per cent to fiat rate of per

deficit caused by the closing Of the

Local authorities are CT the opin-
lon that the proposition mentioned
in the foregoing Associated Press
dispatch might be of benefit and
then again might prove decidedly
harmful
Authorizing the levy for a four
year period is said to be all right
providing the people vote in favor

Wants Law Changed Re.
garding Candidates
Expenses

Every law enacted should be of
such nature that it will invite
evasion. There is a fool law on
the statute books. intended to pre-
vent buying an election, but
which in its application, hampers
legitimate canvass of the state
or county by honest candidates.
To limit a candidate for COVER
nor to $1,000 for primary expenses
is ridiculous. considering the ex-
tent of territory to be trayersed.
The people want to meet pros
pective candidates and it is nat
ural the aspirant desires to be-
come acquainted, but he cannot
do so on the low limit of expenses.
Besides, the intent of the law is
simply to prevent corruption in
politics. What is done in the
open, with cards on the table,
will be forbidden. There is the
natural and legimate advertising
field through the press of the
county or state. Statements of
fact so published informs the
people and gives them a better
opportunity to make intelligent
choice.
The law could be changed by
adding one sentence, Exc ept
money spent in advertising. :"
No amount of publicity is harm
full if it is the truth. The law
should be so amended as can
didates are now tempted to fall

within the limit, which to do is

to perform. 1t is required to take the
heat out of other material to preserve
food products and it must dissipate it
self in the process, while ice is placed
in the ice house to stay, to be pre-
served until wanted for use.
An open shed will preserve ice, or
it may be piled up in field and kept
all summer by simply putting cover
over it to keep off the rain and an
inner cover of sawdust to keep out
the air. Such crude way of keeping
ice is necessarily wasteful, but not to
the xtent popularity supposed.
Roof Must Be Tight.
1t is quite possible to put a cube OF
ice twelve feet through in cheaply
constructed building and SO pack it
with sawdust as to keep it in very
satisfactory way until wanted during
the summer months. The roof must
be tight because water dropping often
in the same spot will bore hole
through the sawdust covering down
to the ice; warm air will follow and
we all know that air must be kept
away from ice or it will melt rapidly.
Drainage is another very important
consideration. The bottom must be
