CLUB COMMITTEES
DIVIDE ON AMOUNT
OF DUES CHARGED

Members OF the Rock Island club
appointed to formulate plans for
the future OF the club, and men,
bers OF the board of directors were
unable to reach a decision as to
the amount of dues to be asked for
membership in the club at their
meeting last night.
Recommendations submitted to
the membership some time ago BY
the committee named by President
H. H. cleveland contained a
clause to the effect that the Rock
Island club be continued providing
an income from membership dues
Of $40 could be assured. This
was to be guaranteed by the sig
natures of 400 prospective mem
bers, each promising to pay yearly
dues u $50, signatures to be OBJ
tanned by May /. A committee was
named in the resolutions to obtain
these signatures.
Members Of the latter commit
tee at the meeting last night con-
tended that the dues named were
too high and that by asking a small
er fee more memberships could be
i obtained to provide the $4,000 club
| income
. No decision was reached but an
other meeting will be called soon
for further consideration of the
matter.
Election OF officers for the club
was not held as previously planned
as there was not a quorum of the
directors present.

Be Dealt With-UniOn Expects
Loo Members in Month.

The Transfers union No. 109,
composing 900 members, has sign
ed contracts for the coming year
with all firms with the exception
of coal dealers. This phase of the
case does not deal with all bust
ness firms that deal In coal as a
contract is still effective with the
ice and coal dealers. 1t is only the
firms that deal in coal alone that
have not signed up with the I'M
ion, according to William Kellogg,
business agent for the union.
Mr.. Kellogg announced today
that prospects of the union for the
next year are exceptionally bright
He said that there is no indication
that the union is to Sun against a
snag in any of its dealings. The
lack of an agreement with the coal
! dealers is the only situation that
remains yet to be cleared up.
The contracts already signed
call for weekly wage amounting
, to from SIS to $35 per week. Both
teamsters and chauffeurs are
members of the union and they are
paid according to their ability anG

exceptionally good men above thu
scale demanded for the variou.

Shortly before closing hour at the
court house yesterday afternoon, q
big, broad, burly fellow walked in
and surveyed the surroundings.
Removing his overcoat. he accosted
two young women clerks in the
Office of the county treasurer, who
were in the act Of locking up for
the day.
who is 1t the head OF this an
archist party that meets tonight in
this placer he queried.
Somewhat startled by the ques-
ton, the young women passed the
buck to Bill Kerr. the elevator man,
who was standing nearby. The big
fellow promptly nailed Bill by the
coat lapels and wanted to know if
he could direct him to the room
where the anarchist meeting was to
take place.
Right away Bill discovered some
thing queer in the mans eyes and
his manner Of talk. Sensing that
a degree of tact needed to be ex-
ercised to take care Of the situation,
Bill discussed with him about the
meeting.
Il can't tell you much" said Bill,
but l will take you down here to
the man who is secretary of the
party"
So Bill led the big fellow tn
Sheriff Miller's Office, where he in
PRODUCED him to the sheriff, refer
ring to the latter as one Of the big
guns of the anarchists. Sheriff
Miller was hep instantly. In a
suave tone of voice he talked about
the coming meeting. Then as an
after thought he inquired if his
brother anarchist had had any sup
per, and upon receiving a negative
! reply, invited him to partake of an
evening meal.
So, taking him blythe arm. Sher-
if Miller guided the strangely act
ing fellow to the police station
where, under the pretense of being
served with supper, the doors of a
cell were locked on him.
Attendants from the WATERFOWL
state hospital arrived soon after
and took the man in charge. He
was an escaped inmate.
