The new Methodist church, re-
Gently organized and which is plan

ture on the ground on which it is
now holding its services, at Thirty
eighth street and Eighteenth. ave-
nue., is to be known as the Centen-
airy Methodist church. This name
is especially appropriate for the
new organization, as $4,000 has

the East Moline Methodist church,
is the pastor and services are con-
Quoted each Sunday afternoon with

ing at 3 O'Clock. There are charter
members, of the church and 1870 in

Plans for the church structure
which will cost approximately $685.
900 are for a 2-story building. The
basement will be fitted up into
recreation room and gymnasium, to
be used as community social
center and an auditorium with a
balcony fitted up into class rooms.
The structure will be of brick.
There will also be a ladies' rest
room fitted with all the articles to
make such a room cozy, including
a fireplace. Most of the funds for
the building have already been pro-
vided for and the work will start
as soon after June l as possible.

Man HELD FOR
BRUTAL. ATTACK
ON A. R. HULL
Man Of Six Feet Height, Aged IS,
Bound to Grand Jury for
Beating Aged Man.

Having brutality attacked A. R.
Hull aged SO, 1907 Sixth avenue,
early Friday afternoon, Levi E.
Smith, a 6-foot man Of about So
years, was held to the grand jury
under $4,000 bonds this morning in
police court by Magistrate D. ].
Cleland. The specific charge is as
sault with deadly weapon.
Mr.. Hull, who is guard on the
Rock Island arsenal. was attacked
by Smith as he was walking down
Eighteenth street with Mrs. Hull.
His assailant drove up in an auto
mobile, leaped to the ground and
viciously assaulted the old man
with a pair of brass knuckles.
With the strength of his six feet
he overcame the spirited but feeble
resistance of the aged guard,
breaking his nose, decorating and
bruising his face, finally beating
his victim to the ground while the
helpless wife watched the malic-
ious orgy.
Smith, leaving the Ol0 man lying
on the sidewalk, drove away in his
machine. The police were unable
to apprehend him at his rooms, but
Harry Fitzsimmons. traffic ofhcer
made the arrest when he crossed
the intersection of Twentieth street
and Third avenue in his car.
1t is said that Hull. who returns
from his duties on the arsenal late
at night, demonstrated with Smith
for his noisiness when calling upon
lady occupying the rooms above
those of the Hull family. The
words aroused false grievance
which led, to the cruel beating OF
the aged man by Smith.
Smith denies using brass
knuckles.

LAbORERS SEEK
HIGHER WAGES
Nine Hundred Men on Strike, and
Backing Of Allied Trades May
Lead to General Tic-Up.

Nine hundred members of the
International Hold Carriers. Build
ing and Common Laborers' union
went on strike this morning on all
jobs under contract by bosses af-
filiated with the Qusd-City Build
ers' exchange.
The remaining 50 members of
the union are at work for the
Walsh Construction company and
have no grievance that will lead
them to strike.
Martin Bartlett, business agent
for the union, announced this
morning that the men went on
strike after failure to receive rec
ignition of their union and higher
wages from the builders exchange.
He asserted that the men were
prevailed upon to stay on the job
for another 30 days when there was
likelihood of a strike April l.
The union has asked the ex-
change to grant them wage in
creases amounting to approximate
ly 10 cents an hour for the various
classes Of workmen involved. The
union asks IS cents an hour for
common laborers, rs cents an hour
for bod carriers, and IS cents an
hour for workmen doing casing
work below ground.
The union, while not being rec
ognized by the builders exchange
is recognized by the Allied Trades,
and it was said today that if any
attempt is made by the contractors
to put on nonunion laborers all
building craft trades would walk
off the job.
1t was learned that the Walsh
Construction company has reached
settlement with its employees and
that many Of the men on strike on
other jobs may go to the Walsh
comnany for work
