ASKS ALL AUTO
OWNERS TO AID
THOSE ON FOOT
Mayor SehriVer Issues Appeal to
Persons With Machines TO
Pick Up Pedestrians.

The Argus in another column
advocates that the auto owner pick
up the pedestrian so as to make
the inconvenience of the street car
tieup felt as little as possible.
Mayor Schriver this afternoon
addressed an appeal to the auto
owners along the same lines, as
follows:
Il would like to especially re-
quest owners of automobiles TO
give the pedestrian a lift. If a
man is walking along the street,
going in your direction, pick him
up. There are hundreds upon hun
dreds of clerks and shopmen who
now have no other means of get
ting back and forth than to walk.
You will make him a good friend
of yours if you pick him up. Give
him a lift. 1t will help Rock Is
land get over this situation with a
minimum of inconvenience if the
automobile owner will extend this
courtesy to the fellow on foot"

TWO BITS, SAYS
FAIR DRIVER FOR
TRIP TO MOLINE

Taxi drivers have started up to
reap a harvest while the reaping
is good.
The reporter approached a young
woman driver who had just pulled
up to the curbing. A prominent
sign on the windshield informed
that the machine was operating be-
tween Rock Island and Moline.
How much to 90 to Moline?" the
reporter queried, actuated by curl
osity and not with a desire to make
the trip.
1.-TWO bits"
The reporter staggered back,
throwing up his hands for protec-
ton. Perhaps he hadn't heard
rightly. Maybe the fair driver had
got her tongue crossed and meant
to say, two jits."
How much did you say" he
ventured again.
"a quarter of a dollar, twenty
FIVE c'si What's eaten you. any
way? You can pay that or walk"
Kind of cutting answer. so the
reporter came back with fast gath
ering courage: who said any
thing about wanting to buy the
carr"
That last shot did the work. The
girl chauffeur stepped on 'er with
plenty of gas and was of mutter-
ing something about "a lot of cheap
guys in this burg; don't want a
poor working goil to make Twin. .

REV. DELK AND
HIS ASSAILANT
ARE DISMISSED
Roy Patterson, Negro, is Held Over
10 Grand Jury for Attempt
10 Commit Murder.

Rev. James Jimmy" Delk and
his alleged assailant were both
dismissed from police court this
morning.
No hearing of importance was
held. Each had alleged that the
other struck first in the fight which
took place at Sixteenth street and
Fourth avenue last Monday morn
ing, one block from the evangel-
lists tabernacle.
A large crowd which had gath
Nered to hear the story was disap-
pointed in not hearing any testi-
mony. Delk was charged by Paul
Haradon, 221 West Sixth street,
Davenport, with assault with
deadly weapon. Haradon was
charged by the evangelist with as
sault and battery. The first
charge against the Davenport man
of disorderly conduct was with
drawn.
Both cases were dismissed by
Police Magistrate D. J. Cleland and
the evangelist was left the loser.
His right eye is still partially
closed, while his lip shows the eff
fects of a blow dealt by the Dav-
export NIL during the assault.
The case was considered one OF
doubt. Probably mutual agreement
led to the dismissal.
The fight was considered largely
one of misunderstanding. The
Davenport man claimed that he
did not approach Delk last Monday
with the intention of starting a
fight. He claimed that Delk struck
first. On the other hand, the evan
gelist asserted that he was the de-
fender in TIL case. declaring he
was attacked with brass anuckles-
The fight took place over charges
made by Haradon that the evan
gelist had insulted woman friend
Of his wife.
After being dismissed, Delk said
that next Sunday would end his
services in Rock Island. He said
that despite talk against him his
presence in Rock Island had
brought good results. He claims
800 conversions.
Negro Held to Jury.
Yesterday afternoon Roy Patter-
son. colored. was held over to the
grand jury for assault with intent
to commit murder He was ar
rested following a fight several
weeks ago at Ninth street and
Ninth avenue, during crap game.
Patterson shot Joe Ball, also col
ored, over a small amount of
change in the game. Ball was TAX
en- to the hospital with three revol-
yer bullet holes close to the heart,
later recovering.
Patterson's bond was fixed at
$4,000.

Burglars who served in the army
are going back to their old trade" said
London police official the other day.
''These men deliberately elect to live
by stealing because they find it adven-
turous. 1t was with the same spirit
that they joined the army. At least
one convicted burglar won the Victoria
cross" Confirmation of this charac-
teristic is provided by a captain in a
famous fighting regiment, who declares
that one of the bravest men in his
company, corporal with D.C.M. and
other honors, declared himself pro-
fessional thief "His one regret" re-
