FOOD SITUATION
GROWS GRAVE IN
NORTHERN RUSSIA

Archangel. Tuesday, March IL
(By the Associated Press THE
food situation in northern Russia
is causing some concern. In the
district between Archangel and
Omega, where a heavy frost late
last summer killed even the arctic
summer berries, the people have al
ready eaten the rations fixed for
next June.
Citizens of Archangel are receiv-
ing larger rations than people in
the country districts, and it had
been calculated that in the country
the crops would supplement the
rations provided, but the frost in
tervened.
The desperate need for foodstuffs
in the regions far north along the
arctic shores was brought sharply
to the attention of the allies food
committee when delegates from Pc
chora and Mezeme arrived by rein
deer teams and camped at the
doors of the committee, urging as
sistance. They brought samples
of the bread that they were forced
to eat. 1t was made of a small
quantity Of white -four mixed with
ground-up dried fish.
Last fall a ship with 4 big con-
signment of food was ready TO be
dispatched to the patriotic peoples
of these districts but at that time
the Bolsheviki raided the country
far to the north and the ship was
not sent out of Archangel. Later
attempts to reach the far north
failed because the ships could not
pass through the ice. The only
hope of sending food to these peo-
pie is by means of big ice break
er loaded with provisions.

CATCH Thief IN
ACT OF TAKING
Raymond Petty Arrested for Steal
ing Mail From East Moline
Y. M. C.. A. Annex.

Raymond Petty, aged % years.
was caught in the act of stealing
mail from the East Moline Y. NJ
c. A. annex No. 2 yesterday noon,
by Walter Ratliff, educational sec
rotary of the association, and As
sistant Chief of Police J. L. Zones
of East Moline.
Young Petty and a friend entered
the Y, where he roomed until sew
eral weeks ago, and not finding
mail pigeon-hole box and took a
small package.
The box had been carefully done
up and a potato put in it by Mr..
Ratliff and Officer Zones, who were
on the trail Of the mail thief. The
two detectives hid in another room,
but watched the movements of Pet
ty from a door transom leading to
the annex The package was ad-
dressed to a Mrs. S. S. Parks at the
annex. After Petty had taken the
box he and his friend made quick
exit, but Ratliff and Zones follow
ed and the arrest was made just
outside of the Y building.
A hearing was to have been held
ut 2 o'clock this afternoon before
Justice Dan Maskell in East Mo-
line.
Petty's defense is that he took
the package with the intention of
playing a joke on the companion
who was with him This man has
reported to the authorities that
watch which was sent to him by
his mother has never been receiv-
ed. Petty claims that he thought
the decoy package contained the
watch and that he proposed to give
It to the owner directly.

MAYOR NOMINEE
PEOPLES PARTY
Frank Gustafson Is Man for Police
Magistrate by Members of the
Same Ticket.

Returns from five wards indicate
that Mayor Clarence s. Trevor was
nominated yesterday as candidate
for mayor of Moline on the Peo-
pies ticket
Those same returns indicate tina;
Magistrate Frank Gustasson re-
ceived both the Democratic and
Peoples nominations for the Of
flee of police magistrate,
There were not many votes cast
yesterday by adherents of the Peo-
pies and Democratic parties. Only
two petitions asking nomination on
the Peoples ticket had been filed
There were no Democratic petit
tions. The two Peoples party men
are NJ. ". Battles and Eli DeReu
and they received the aldermaniC
nomination of that party in the
Sixth ward.
There is much speculation in
Moline today as to what Mayor
Trevor will do if the 10 OF IL votes
received by him will make him the
Peoples candidate for mayor.
In a few wards the vote was suf-
ficient1y large to determine the
candidates without straWs. Some
of the aldermanic candidates on
the Peoples ticket follow:
Second ward-J. V. Cain and Y.
B. Kean.
Third ward-Fred Holt and J. H
Mcbride.
Fifth ward - J. R. Huette, Al

guilty before Magistrate FRANK

ey before he had finished with the

CHOSEN To RUN
FOR MAY0RALTY
Present City Executive Wins Major.
fly of AL Votes Over Jean A.
Pope In Race.
VAN HOE DEFEATED BY TAFT
Loses Nomination in First Ward
Where Heaviest Polling Goes
on Record.

DR.. G. F. Johnson, mayor of East
Moline, was renominated as the
candidate for mayor on the Citizens
ii ;ket by members of that party at
the primaries yesterday. A total OF
1,245 votes was cast for Johnson,
while Jean A. Pope, his opponent
received 796, giving Johnson a ma
jority of 447.
Pope failed to win a majority in
any of the four wards of East Mo-
son in the number of votes cast by
the women in the fourth ward at
Watertown, but fell short by three.
Judges at the first ward polling
place were the first to complete the
counting work and Johnson's vic
tory was assured by the results re-
ported. He received a total of 597
against 327 votes cast for Pope, or
a majority of 20. While the first
ward returns did not result in a
large majority for Johnson, it is
said that the majority of the resi-
dents within the ward were thought
to have been on Pope's side and
when Johnson was placed ahead, his
nomination was positive.
Probably as much interest was
conferred on the race between candi-
dates for the office of city treasurer
on the Citizens ticket as there was
on the mayoralty race.
Arthur D. Taft, defeated by JOS
eph Van Hoe in the second, third
and fourth wards by SO votes,
swung over in the first ward and
won the nomination over his oppon-
ent by a total of % votes. The first
ward judges were the last to COM
plete their counting work and the
result was awaited with interest by
hundreds who waited in front of

Boosters of Van Hoe had secured
the services of a band and were
ready to start a jubilant celebration
as soon as results from the first
ward were made known. Van Hoes
defeat placed decided damper on
the celebration plans. A total of 644
votes were received by Taft while
Van Hoe got 81. James Fox, the
third candidate on the Citizens
ticket, had 355 votes to his credit at
the final count.
J. K. Williams defeated Lawrence
E. Morgan as the candidate for aid
erman on the Citizens ticket from
the first ward by receiving a total
of 80 votes against 289 placed for
his opponent.
Miller Wins.
Louis A. Miller, also a candidate
for alderman on the Citizens ticket,
was nominated as alderman from
the fourth ward with plurality of
1873 over J. o. Giesler and Harry
Cosner No other contests on either
the Citizens Peoples or Socialists
tickets occurred.
Quick service on the returns from
each ward were afforded the people
of East Moline by The Argus bull
letin service. Boy Scouts served at
each ward polling place and
brought the returns to The Argus
headquarters promptly, allowing
The Argus to be the first newspaper
to convey the election results to
the public.
