since women were granted the fran
chise in Illinois.
With her yesterday was her Sis
ter, Miss Cornelia Hubbard, S6

There we're 1856 arrests made in
Moline last month of which 62 are
accredited to the return to active
service Of Pleasant Negley, traffic
officer. Arrests for violation of
state laws totaled 1876. while 81

ing city ordinances. Thirty-nine
motorists were arrested for driving

Prosperity continues to reign in
Moline and vicinity judging from a
little book kept at the Moline po-
lice station which gives a record of
the number OF tramps lodged each
month. Only seven tramps were
forced to seek shelter at the station
during October. =
October was not busy month for
Magistrate A. A. Niles of East Mo-

Fines and costs from the city cases
totalled $145 and the speed case
raised the amount $40. The bal

LITTLE INTEREST
AT EAST MOLINE
IN VOTE OUTCOME

Little interest was shown in the
outcome Of the election, nationally
or locally, in East Moline, despite
tho fact that several residents Of
the city were candidates. Returns
were received at the Eagles hall
and flashed on screen posted on
the Manufacturers State bank
building across the street. A small
crowd gathered early in the even
ing in front Of the hall but most
Of these went home shortly after
II O'Clock. There was no demon
stration on the streets when news
OF the Republican victory reached
the city. ..-
Owing to the fact that the city
hail in Silvis was given over to
election requirements, the regular
meeting Of the city council was
postponed until Friday night, when
several matters Of Importance, in
GLIDING civic improvements, will
como up for consideration by the
aldermen.

authorized the disposal Of the old

last night. The building and
grounds committee was given power
to proceed with the sale. the price
