PETITION ASKING
CIVIL SERVICE IS
WITH CITY CLERK

With 1881 signatures to the petit
ton asking that the people of Mo
line vote on the question of estab
fishing civil service for the police
and fire departments at the spring
election TO be held April Is, the
proposition will go to vote. Chief
Ben De Jaeger, of the police de-
partment, yesterday filed the petit
ton.
If the proposition is given a ia
vorable vote, a board of three will
be named by the mayor and council
to act on examinations and ap-
poirti-onts. The examinations will
be given by the board of police and
fire commissioners. and appoint
ments will be made according to
rank in the tests.
The state law further provides
that no fireman or officer can be
discharged until he is given trial
by the board Members of the de
partments who have served less
than one year may be discharged,
it is understood, without such a
trial.
Present members of both de
partments are backing the move
ment and believe that efficiency
will be one of the biggest gains
throuih the civil service tests.

DADS and SONS
REGULAR PALS"
Fathers Take Boys to Banquet Sup
perS in Moline Churches and
Have Jolly Time.

That there is lots of fun and
benefit in being regular pals" was
discovered by some 4S7 fathers and
sons of Moline last evening when
they gathered in the different
churches for dinners prepared by
mothers and daughters and pro-
grams of songs, toasts, stunts and
special music. The fathers had
something to say to the bows about
what they expected of them and in
return heard some timely remarks
as to what these same boys eX-
pected of their elders All in all it
was a red letter evening in the
program for father and son week
A joint father and son meeting
was held by the Second Methodist
and Second Congregational church
es at the latter place. Rev. B. F.
Eckley of the Second Methodist
church acted as POSTMASTER.
Mayor c. S. Trevor spoke in be
half of the dads" and Otto Rog-
ers represented the lads Princi-
pal speaker of the evening was w
S. Bacon of Rock Island. Mr.. Bac-
on had some straight from the
shoulder" remarks to make on the
boy problem. There was in attend
ance los men and boys.
Fisk d Loosely prepared the din
ner which was served by the ladies'
of the First Congregational and
First Methodist churches at the
former place for the 100 fathers
and sons present. L. A. Mahoney,
superintendent of public schools,
acted as POSTMASTER. q. A. Parker
and r. B. Lourie were the speak
ers of the evening.
To the Swedish Tabernacle went
the honor of having the largest
attendance One hundred and
twenty fathers and sons were seat
ed in the banquet room. The hall
was appropriately decorated with
flags and pictures of Lincoln.

sion was Professor A. Hut OF Au-
gustana college. Other speakers

PULL FIGHT IN
JUSTICE COURT
Walter McClurg and G. b. Ellis En-.
gage in Fist Duel. Following
aVerbal Controversy.

The case of C. B. Ellis, ex-con-
stable, prosecuted by Frank Nc
Corkle on a charge of taking a $50
Liberty bond, which exchanged
hands in a horse deal, was continu-
ed verbally, but not physically.
Following the continuance OF the
case until Feb. "a, Walter McClurg,
attorney for the plaintiff and re-
Gently candidate for judge of the
Moline city court, and Ellis engag-
ed in a regular, good old-fashioned
hand-to-hand fight. When the first
round was over, Ellis wiped the
while McClurg held his hand over
his sore jaw.
The free exhibition occurred in
Justice F. c. Entrikin's court this
morning All the judges protesta-
lions were of no avail. Captain
Benjamin Bell, who was recently
from the service OF the
United States army, although he
had not seen service overseas, stat
ed that during his year of military
life he had not witnessed a fight
where blood was shed as was this
forenoon.
Words exchanged in the fight
cannot be printed The fighters
were separated against their will
by Constable Wright, George EbeI-
ing, Captain Bell and S. J. Bare
thin of the Merchants Protective
association. Ellis left the court
room
Ellis and McClurg will face each
other again, in verbal discussion,
to settle the larceny suit in the
court of Magistrate Frank Gustaf-
son when a replevin suit, in which
Ellis is defendant, is tried
The trouble started when Nc
COrkle sold a horse to Ellis and
received a $50 Liberty bond for the
deal Next, McCorkle, according to
his story, found he could only get
S42 for the bond. He came back
to Ellis. Ellis said he could get SAL.
Ellis took the bond and. SAYS Nc
Corkle, has yet neither returned it
Dr. turned over the S47.
