service in behalf of law enforce

mentioned statement does not pre-

the inimitable chief himself and
Mrs. Gertrude Hines, wife of
Charles Hines, who is doing a six
months hitch" in the county jail
as the result of consorting. after
repeated warnings, with certain
denizens OF the colored under

Toms time this afternoon.
Three times did Mrs. Hines call
at the police station this morning
in her frantic endeavor to have
her husband released from dur

success and she was putting her

CHARITIES DRIVE
CARRIES ON APACE
SURE OF SUCCESS

The membership and budget
campaign which is being put on in
the city for the Associated Char
tiles is going on apace despite the
bad weather which has proved a
slight handicap to the workers.
Although a definite statement Of the
results thus far accomplished can
not be made as yet, the workers
are confident of success in putting
the drive over by the end Of the
week.
Cooperation is greatly needed to
make this a successful campaign
and the assistance OF the general
public is asked by the committee
in charge An appeal is being
made for memberships and funds
which will be used by the associa-
ton in carrying on organized
charity work and to relieve ifSs
dividuals of the many calls which
are made upon them when there is
no such organization to carry on
the work.
Workers are confident that by
the end of the week splendid re-
suits, will have been accomplished,
but it will take Pushing and help
from the people of the city in gen
eral. The drive is to continue
throughout the week, and at ban
quet at its close for the captains
and workers, the final reports will
be given. Next week the public
meeting of the association will be
held when the business for the
coming year will be outlined and
trustees will be chosen.

AS many Of the soldiers stationed
at Rock Island arsenal as may be

duty when Rock Island and Moline
welcome the boys of Battery r and
hold at the same time, their gen.
eral celebration Of the return of
their soldiers. Well send the

the commandant, assured W. l.
Franks, chairman of the Rock Is
land committee making arrange
mentsN the festivities.
Rock Island and Moline commit
teemen conferred yesterday after
noon in this city and this morning
in Moline and arrived at an under
standing on some of the main fea-
lures. 1t was decided to make it
joint affair, as far as possible. It
is realized that there may be a
great deal of dificulty in holding
the men together for parade pur-
poses and arrangements must be
planned to the last detail and be
put through promptly and with
entire harmony because delays will
be sure to result in defections from
the ranks in spite of every precau
ton to prevent them.
Augustana gymnasium is the
only building with sufficient seat
ing capacity to banquet the num-
Der of men expected to take part,
and il is favorably situated also
for cooperation between the Or
CARNATIONS of women of the two
cities which will look after provid-
ing and serving the feast. The
gym will seat about a thousand st
tables, and since there probably
will not be that number of soldiers
arrangements will be made to al
nit members Of the immediate
relatives OF the returned men.
The parade will end at the gym.
No speaking is planned, only sing
ing and numbers by a band. The
sym will not be thrown open to the
public.
Open to Other Soldiers.
The fact should be emphasized
that the local committees are an
xicus to have other soldiers who
have returned take part, especially
boys from Rock Island, Moline and
the surrounding country who
served with the Thirty-third divis-
ion but who were not members of
Battery F.
Rev. E. F. Bartholomew was ap-
pointed chairman of the Rock Is
land decorating committee and H.
E. Lundt will fill the same position
for Moline. The two committees
will cooperate.
The canvass for funds to defray
Rock Islands end of the expense
will be started in q few days.

the immense storehouses made
possible through the authorization
OF the project by the war depart
ment. Trains are to be run to the
