EYES ON TRUCK
Colonel Jordan. Mayor Skinner and
Arsenal and Moline Fire
Chiefs Witness Test.

The new $12,500 aerial ladder
truck purchased by the city from
the American-La France Fire En-
CINE company Of Elmira, N. Y, was
given another thorough test yes
terday afternoon.
This time the test was given for
the benefit of Colonel Harry. B. Jor-

land arsenal, Fire Chief Dan Shire
of the arsenal, Mayor C. p, Skin
ner and Fire Chief John Hawk Of
Moline, who were invited to wit
ness the test by Commissioner Will
liam H. Fitzsfmmons, in charge of
the department of public health
and safety.

OF the fire engine company.
The truck was driven to the
north side Of the city hall. where
the ladders were raised and full
demonstration given in shifting
them in any direction desired and
in raising and lowering them.
The truck was then taken on a
run and demonstrations given as
to the speed with which it can be

its length. Due to the tiller on the
rear wheels it is possible to send
the truck around sharp curve a,
! faster speed than a touring car.

MUST CHANGE
EXCESS PROFIT
TAX: HOUSTON
Danger in Letting Law Stand After
Next Year, Secretary Of
Treasury Says.

Washington. March 17.-Any re-
duction of income and excess prof
its taxes to be collected in the cal
endar years 1920 and 1921 would
be "manifestly unsafe" Secretary
Houston declared in a letter today
to the house ways and means COM
mittee. Simplification of those
taxes was urged, however.
Unless action is taken at the
present session Of congress, Mr..
Houston said, these taxes must be
continued to be collected on the
basis Of the present law until the
close Of the calendar year 1922
He added that he could not "con-
template such delays without the
gravest apprehension"
Wood for Repeal
Redfleld, S. D., March 1.-THE
excess profit tax and certain other
taxes must be eliminated because
they are "paralyzing initiative at a
time when We need it," General
Leonard Wood declared in an ad-
dress here today. The war debt
he said, should be distributed over
long period of years in order to
assist the development of American
business through lessening its
present burdens.
American business both at home
and abroad must be encouraged il
it is to meet English competition
he said.

OPENING OF CORNERSTONE
BOX OF Y. M. C. A. AWAKENS
MEMORIES OF ONE DIRECTOR

quest that it be used for erecting
e building for young men in Rock
Island"
This, the first gift toward the
erection Of the first Y. NJ. c. A.
building, was followed by a similar
amount from Libbte Shoemaker.
The third gift was made by Louis
Bowman, from his earnings a. car
her for the little Y. M. c. A. publ
cation, Doing and Done" Louis
Bowman later became one Of the
state leaders in association work.
Organized in 1850.
The first Rock Island association.
according to Mr.. McKown, was or
ganized in 1859, following 4 series
of evangelistic services conducted
here by Dwight L. Moody. Among
the charter members were Judge
william H. Gest. Honorable John
W. Hawley. DR.. J. w. Stewart and
]. d. Warnock. Only the last two
are still living.
In 1884 the preliminary meeting
was held for the present ofganiza-
ton. There were then 38 members,
eight of whom now live in the city.
The meeting place was in rooms
on Second avenue. The board of
directors was E. B. McKown, Frank
Nader, A. NJ. Bruner, F. H. Kaup-
Ike, George P. Lyman, J. W. WEIGH,
Charles Jensen. c. e. Adams, F. J.
Akers. j. W. Stewart, w. F. Gil
more, George Chambers.
In 1887 the association raised
$1,000 and purchased the lot at the
corner of Third avenue and Nine
teenth str, t, for the erection Of
their building The sale price OF
the lot was $4,000: the building
cost $s7.S0o. Four of the building
committee now live in Rock Is
land: J. w. Stewart. A. M. Bruner,
J. w. WEIGH and E. B. Mckown.
1t was when this building passed
out Of the hands Of the association
and was taken over by . local con-
struction company that the corner
stone was removed that It might
remain in the hands of the asso-
citation, is the conclusion Of direc-
tors of the Y. M. c. A.
! 1t is thought that the removal oil
| the box was then ordered by R. c
Smedley. at that time secretary
now in California. The box wal
taken to the Rock Island Savings
bank for safe keeping. Its where.
abouts were never mentioned anG
the workman who removed it ha.
since died.
Several months ago, when tn.
! old building was torn down a>.t
the box was looked for, Its disap'
pearance became a mystery onl,
recently solved. The stone which
held it showed marks of having
been opened, and closed again with
cement While the building stood
this was concealed by sign which
hid the stone.
+ When the directors opened tn,
boz at their meeting last night il
was for the first time since the boz
was cefnented 80 years ago. The
box will remain in the possession
of the association.
