WOUNDED ARM rs
WAR PRICE PAID
BY ONE MOLNER

A wounded arm is what W. n.
Snare, 433 Thirty-eighth street,
Moline, paid toward the winning of
the war in addition to more than
one years service of the United
States. Snare was discharged from
service at Camp Grant recently.
Private Snare saw actual fight
ing in the Argonne Forest, the st.
Mihiel and in the Flanders drive
in Belgium. He spent two and
one-half months in three different
hospitals in England and ~ days
in a base hospital in New York,
from where he was transferred to
Camp Grant and finally discharged.
Wouldn't take anything in the
world for my wonderful expert
ence," said Snare, today
He entered the service on Dec.
2. 1917, and was entrained to Camp
Dodge, later being sent to Virginia,
from where he sailed TO Brest,
France.

MOLINE SOLDIER
RECEIVESBONUS
Fred w. Alderman Is First i'm PIOw
City To Get Discharged Mems
Additional Pay.

Fred w. Alderman, 1919 Twenty
ninth street, is probably Moline's
first soldier to receive his $50
bonus from the government. These
bonuses are given to all discharg-
ed soldiers who make application
for the money to the zone finance
officer at Washington.
Just II days ago, Mr.. Alderman
mailed his application with his
certificate of discharge to Wash
ington, and when he arrived at his
office, the Moline Title q Abstrct
company this morning, he found
the letter from the government
containing the check. Accompany
ing the check Mr.. Alderman re
ceived his certificate of discharge,
on which was stamped the state
ment that payment of the bonus
under act of Feb % had been
paid, making it impossible to col
Iect another bonus with the same
certificate.
The check is complete and
spaces to be filled are those of the
name, address and serial number.
The promptness with which the
government sent the money, clears
all doubt that it would take some
time before discharge soldiers and
sailors would receive their
bOnugeS.

MOLINE COUNCIL
RESOLVES FIGHT
ON COMMISSION

The Moline city commission, in
unison with the Rock Island city
commission, has adopted resolu-
lions endorsing the amendment to
the utility act now before the state
legislature in a fight for passage
of legislation limiting powers of
the public utilities commission and
giving cities right to control cor
porations operating within the city
limits. The commission also ap-
propriated $50 to be used by the
Home Rule league in its fight for
the legislation and will probably
send representatives to Springfield
next week, when the bill will come
up for consideration.
The resolution passed by the Mo-
line council is as follows
Whereas, there is now pending
in the senate and house of the
general assembly of the state of
Illinois bills for the amendment of
the utility act so that cities shall
have the right to control the utili-
ties within their borders and to
prevent the utilities commission
from setting aside contracts made
by the cities, therefore be it re-
solved,
THAT all possible assistance be
given those persons asking the
passage of the amendment"

RECORD OF SCOUTS
IN THRIFT STAMPS
Is WORTH MENTION

Boy scouts sold $42,367, 265.75
worth of war savings and thrift
stamps during 1918. They are going
right ahead with their campaign.
During the month of January, this
year, the scouts obtained subscr1p-
ton sfor stamps to the amount of
$1.479,721.75 from f4,795 p ersons.
This was without any special urg-
ing, being the result of the program
o fhaving scouts constantly alert
for the promotion of sales in their
homes and neighborhoods. 1t does
not involve street solicitation.
Are the boys worth CultiYating?
The record set in this one activity
would seem to indicate the answer.
Moline. East Moline and SiIvis res
idents will be asked to give their
answer next week, when a drive is
launched here to raise $4,000 to
finance scout activities for the COM
ing two years.

COMPANY
BUYS as ACRES
F. G. Allen Denies RumOrs That
Immense Factory is to be
Built at Once.

Forty-five acres of land has been
purchased in East Moline by the
Moline Pillow company, is the an
nouncement made by F. G. Allen,
president and general manager of
the company. Mr.. Allen denied that
there is any truth in the rumors
that an immense factory is to be
built on this tract at once. The presi-
dent of the company says:
Our plans for the immediate flu
ture are as yet undecided, but the
additional land purchases have been
made with the thought in mind that
eventually we would need larger
holdings in that vicinity, and the
property we now own in East Mo-
line is ideally located for a manu-
featuring site"
The Moline PloW company some
year ago acquired title to fifty acres
of land just to the east of the Root
& VanDervoort holdings. Its latest
purchase consists of ten acres of
Lundahl property north and west
of the original fifty-acre tract; ten
acres from the East Moline Land
company west of the Lundahl prop
erty, and twenty-five acres from the
East Moline Land company, just
east of the original tract.

FILLS WINS SUIT
ON TECHNICALLY
LOST BY M'CLURG

Because Walter McClurg, attor-
ney for the complainant, forgot to
introduce a legal paper as evidence
in the court of Magistrate Frank
Gustafson yesterday afternoon c.
B. Ellis, eX-constable, won his case
and is still living on the four acres
of land in F'ruitland addition which
Hiram Rubey sold at auction last
November.
The paper which did not appear
at the hearing yesterday was a de-
mand for possession of the prop
erty which is said to have been
served on Ellis several months ago.
Mr. Rubey, the plaintiff, alleges
that Ellis paid 800 down to bind
the sale, but since has refused to
pay the balance or to move off of
the land which he is now occupy
ing. Attorney for the plaintiff
claimed that the four acres were
sold for $4,000 and that Ellis, the
buyer, agreed to pay 10 per cent,
or $3.50, at the time of the sale, but
that he paid only 800. And it is
further claimed that instead of pay
ing the other $3.50, Ellis moved onto
the land and refuses to leave it.
1t is understood that settlement
will be made and it was also init
mated that Rubey will start a new
suit. Ellis was bound over to the
grand jury last Saturday on
charge of larceny and several
weeks ago on a charge of embez-
element.

DISMISS CHARGES:
ATTORNEY SWEARS
OUT NEW WARRANT

Charges against Lee Clark of
East Moline held for assault with
intent to commit murder, were dis

dence was heard Magistrate Niles

ALIENS RUSHING
TO CITY COURT
Seyenty-five Persons Ask Citizen
ship, Presumably to Escape
Additional Tax.

Records for the first 10 days of
March at the Moline city hall show
that rs persons who have lived in
America and Moline for some time
have filed their declarations and
first papers to become citizens of
the United States.
The rush in the last 10 days, it
is said, is occasiOned by non-citi-
zens of this country who must pay
s per cent income tax on gross in
come. Those who have announced
their intention of becoming citizens
and those who have filed papers
are exempt from this additional
tax. This assessment is 2 per cent
higher than the normal tax on citi-
Zens.
Forty-two of the IS persons who
filed declarations this month are
natives of Sweden, many having
lived in America from to 20 years.
Eleven of these decIarants are ma
tives of Greece, and the others
claim as their fatherland Great
Britain, Belgium, Russia, Norway,
Holland, Turkey, Germany and
Austria.
Two natives of Germany and
three of Austria are asking for cit
iZenship. On the city records there
appear the statements that William
II. is still emperor of Germany and
Charles is yet emperor of Austria
and king of Hungary. George A.
Schrader, city court clerk, stated
that he has had no official an
nouncement from the government
that William Hohenzollern is not
today the ruler of Germany, and
necessarily they must use the for
mer rulers names in connection
with the first papers of natives of
those countries.
1t is believed that from so to IS
more aliens will seek citizenship
before this week is over. There are
many foreigners, it is said, who
have filed affidavits stating that
they intend to become citizens, this
being sufficient to enable them to
escape the extra tax imposed on
non-citizens who do not intend to
become citizens.
