TOOK AUTO OUT
STATE;J JAILED
Oowner of Mortgaged Motor Car
Extradited and Brought to Rock
Island Yesterday.

William Floyd Hendricks was
committed to the Rock Island coun-
ty Jail late yesterday, having been
extradited from Flint, Mich, on a
charge of removing an automobile
bearing a mortgage, from the state
of Illinois. He was arrested Thurs
day by Deputy Charles Willis, au-
thorized by a state warrant from
the office of D. J. >Cleland, police
magistrate.
The car owned by Hendricks was
mortgaged by J. L. Vernon, presi-
dent of the American Savings and
Trust CO., for $500. Several months
ago Hendricks removed to Flint
Mich. Attempts to collect the in
terest on the mortgage revealed
his departure. Statutes specifically
prohibit removal of mortgaged
chattels from the state.
Father May Pay.
Shortly after being incarcerated
here last night Hendricks tele-
phoned to his father at Kewanee
asking him to come to Rock Island
1t is understood that the father will
settle the controversy by paying
the principal on the mortgage
upon which Hendricks will be free
The automobile has been stored in

" Notice Of hearing before the
hoard Of public improvements, at
fhs city hall next Friday afternoon
On the paving Of Twentieth street
from Seventh To Ninth avenue. with
asphaltic concrete have been sent
out, It was announced today by City
Engineer Wallace Treichler.
= kepaying OF Twentieth street 10
most urgent ~ the present pave
Ment u n deplorable condition.
Mayor Harry M. Schriver stated to-
Day that the paving must be put
through this time.
Automobile drisers take particu-
lar pains TO avoid travelling over
twentieth street. i'he mater o.
rspaving the thoruugsfsre has been
under consideration since 1912, but
has been held up because OF petty
difhculties arising ,mcny the prop
eftys owners rs 20 the kind OF sur
facing.
"A public hearing was held Dec.
1919, on the proposed paving
OF the street from Seventh avenue
10 Eleventh avenue with asphalt,
ana from Ninth TO Eighteenth ave-
nue. with brick. Thesentire street
was paved with brick at that time,
but contracts had already been let
for paving from Second to Seventh
avenue with asphalt, and this was
70 be continued to Eleventh avenue
and then brick was to be used to
complete the repaving.
Paving Was Cheap.
At that time asphalt could be
laid for $40 per square yard, while
contracts let by the city yesterday
went at $3.25 per square yard.
Brick could be put down for 81 per
square foot in 1912, while brick
BOW is more expensive than as
rhalt.
The entire project OF paving
twentieth street from Seventh to
Eighteenth avenue was estimated
TO cost s35.602 in 1912, while it is
estimated that this work can not
be done now for less than almost
double that cost. The project fell
through, but the street was repaved
later from Eleventh to Eighteenth
evenue with brick. Asphalt was
used from Second to Seventh ave-
nue., leaving the repaving project
unfinished from Seventh to Elev-
enth avenue
In 1912 concrete gutter could be
laid for As cents per foot, new stone
curbing at 60 cents per foot and
the old curbing could have been
replaced for Is cents per foot.
Under contracts let yesterday the
cost of concrete cutters and curb
is 81 per foot.
The first hearing on the project
In 1912 was continued until Jan. 6,
1913. On that date property hold
ers brought in petition claiming
that the repaving of the street was
not necessity and that money
could be raised to repair the old
! pavement. Another hearing was
! heh Jan. 20. 1913, and then the
matter was continued until May 3
1913, in order Z give time to allow
for subscriptions to be raised to
repair the paving. From then or
tho project Of repaving between
Seventh and Eleventh avenues ha.
been taken up spasmodically, witt
never any action.
However, Mayor Schriver said to
day that Il street will be pavet
between Seventh and Ninth ave
> nues soon. The hearing next Fri
day will not take up the project O
4 paving the street between Mint
and Eleventh avenues. as this paw
Ing is claimed to be in fairly goo,
condition.
Many people have been askin,
why this work has not been takel
up, while other less important pro
Jects are being pushed through.

 ALL AGREE
 Every real estate man, who is ques- tioned, agrees that the housing famine in Birmingham has increased rather than diminished since the war, owing to the great increase in the new concerns and new people. They also agree that fam lilies are huddled together about as com pactly as is possible. They finally point to rentals in other cities of the Bir- mingham kind and say they are higher. Real estate agents also call attention to Atlanta, which, with the same in- crease in population, is known to have built several times more residences and apartment houses.
 No one appears to look for de- cided improvement in the housing situa- ton until cost of building is much low CT and none seems to venture a pre- diction when that will be.

Ukrainian Peasants Go Turks One
 Better in Murders

London, July 12.-The report of the mission headed by Sir Stuart Samuel, which was sent by the British govern ment last September to investigate con- ditions in Poland, has been published together with covering letter by Sir Fl. Rumbold. It deals largely with the treatment of Jews, which the report says is being gradually mitigated" and will abate when peace has been restored and the presence of foreigners in their coun- try will shame the Poles into more civilized treatment of their near neigh borhood.
 The report declares that massacres of Jews in Poland were not pogroms. or state superintendent and authorized slaughterings. but were manifestations of popular animus on the part of ignorant men. misled in many instances by men of education. In many cases the re- port says, the police participated in acts of aggression against Jews.
 Sir R. Rumbold's covering letter says that, had as the condition of Jews in Poland may have been or may still be, it is for better than that is surrounding countries
 Unless all information on the point is entirely accurate. he states. the mas sacres of Jews by Ukrainian peasant bands can find in their extent and thoroughness no parallel except in the massacres of Armenians in Turkey"

OTHER CITIES

Talk about rentals in Birmingham, one ought to pay visit to Kansas City, Wichita Falls and other western towns of the same growing nature as Birming- ham. The rents in these places are much higher for the same class of apart rnents than they are in this city.
 ''I have reason to know that rentals in Dallas, Tex, are also higher.
 Birmingham simply has not built the houses Those who built prior to 1914 and enjoyed the small net return of the lean years have been trying their best to advantageously dispose of their houses None are building houses now on account of the cost.
 Birmingham is suffering from her growing pains. New concerns and new people have been coming in straight along the past two years and they are still coming Central business property has been taken over the heads of oc- cupants by new concerns that offered higher rentals. Tn some instances, the

 This latter statement was borne out by S. E. Garrett of the same firm, when MT. Butler asked him if he thought the statement a correct one. MT Rlltler continued.
