Failure of the Rock Island lines

the people Of Rock Island through
it's Twentieth street passenger sta
ton and freight station will mean
the removal of the tracks and build
ings and the building of a city park
with a retaining wall along the
shores where the depots and tracks
are now located, according to the
present plans of Mayor William Nc
COnochie.
City Attorney John K Scott has
len instructed by the mayor to
more than so years ago, which
gave the Rock Island lines the
right to maintain and operate its
station now located at Twentieth
street and First avenue.
The action ON the part of the
mayor resulted from a communica-
ton received this morning from the
local representative of the United
States rail administration which set
forth that there was not sufficient
tonnage leaving Rock Island to
warrant the sending of refrigerator
cars to this side of the river for
loading, Shippers here some time
ago complained of having to haul
their goods to Davenport to load
them and the rail company agreed
to send car to Rock Island on al

Service Grows Worse.
Rock Island people have been
getting worse service than ever
lately and intend to see that the

If possible, the city intends to re-
them the right to maintain their
present depots. / have instructed
Mr.. Scott to investigate into the or
dinances towards that end
cat one time the Rock Island
lines backed its passenger trains,
east and west bound, down to the
Twentieth street depot from its
Thirty-first street station. That
was done for the convenience of
the passengers and was long ago
stopped. Now the freight matter
comes up and l do not propose to
stand for it.
THE company is still sending
cars over here for loading. but l
can see in their communications
that officials of the company intend
to stop that before long.

FORMER PRIZES OF THE NAVY SENT TO
 THE SCRAP HEAP

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 26.-Three of the old-time leaders of the Amer ican navy have been condemned to the scrap heap. The Indiana, Mas sachusets and Iowa, battleships, now in the basin of the Philadelphia navy yard will shortly be destroyed as they have outlived their useful ness. Yet, twenty-five years ago, they were the equals of anything afoat. The Indiana class of battle ship was regarded as daring ex- pertinent. When the Indiana first went to sea all on board were int pressed with the feeling that she might turn over in a heavy sea and go to the bottom.
 Although the old battleships are still serviceable, and they were used in the world war they are obso- lete and are therefore destined for the naval morgue.
