TRIO BLEEDS
BOOTLECCERS
Two Men and Woman Collect $780,
900 by Posing as Revenue
Agents; All Are Arrested.

Chicago. Nov. with the arrest
of two men and a woman, the police
today broke up what they described
as the shrewdest confidence game
worked on law breaking saloonkeep-
ers since the passage of the prohlbi-
ton act. The amount collected Dy
those under arrest, the police said,
totals between 500 900 and $12o,-
900.
The prisoners under arrest are
Walter Reise, who was caught to-
day. and James Burns. with his
wife. Mabel Burns, who was arrest
ed in Peoria, Ill, last Saturday.
Reise was with Burns and his wife
at the time they were arrested but
escaped by dashing through rear
door at the station.
The police charge they carried
supposedly forged letters identity
ing them as agents for the internal
revenue department, and also wore
stars of internal revenue officers.
They would visit saloonkeepers sus-
pected of dealing in liquor, the po-
lice said, and after starting to take
the victim to the federal building,
offer to drop the charges provided
sums ranging from $500 to $1,000
was paid
Operations of the trio was said
to have extended throughout Illi-
!! nois, Michigan, Wisconsin and In
diana.

Courthouse employees and pass

Later Mr. Hubbard confided that

BROKEN WINDOW Is
WORST HALLOWEEN
PRANK FOR MOLINE
SPECIAL Moline servlcel


The Moline police received doz-
en- complaints as result Of the
celebration of Halloween by the
youth of the city last night. An
examination Of the complaints on
record, however, failed To show any
noteworthy property damage. In
fact, the only case along that line
was at 1917 Seventh avenue, where
2 plate glass window was broken.
A considerable corps Of extra
policemen was patrOling beats last
night and all CT them reported
much difficulty with boys. The
principal trouble, it appears, was
noise and annoyance. The police
today were able Ia recall only
three outstanding incidents IA ad-
ditioa to the window breaking. An
clubhouse was carried from the
rear of a residence in the west end
of the city and was placed in front
Of the front porch. George kbeling
retur / to his home at 2722
Twelfth avenue and found a dump
wagon in his garage. Policeman
Bredt found one lad VINO was deco
rating the streets with rubbish and
cans. The youth was compelled to
undecorate the thorougLfare and
was then sent home.
The other complaints on record
apparently were concerned with
harmless pranks. No arrests were
made.

AUTO CLUB TO
HAVE SCHOOL
FOR M0TORIST
Instructions Regarding Lenses Re
quired by New Ordinance to
be Given Tomorrow.

Motorists OF Rock Island and Mo-
line are anticipating the passage II
both cities Monday of the new auto
lens ordinance, which makes the
same provisions for driving at night
as the Iowa state law. The Rock
Island Auto club will hold a school
OF instruction next Thursday night.
The new ordinance will provide
that rays of light do not rise above
81 inches from the ground within
distance of 10 feet from the car.
and will make it unlawful TO use
dinners.
Those who are urging the pas
sage of the ordinance state that
with the proper lens and focusing
the road will be illuminated by a
beam of light which will not blind
the approaching motorist.
In connection with the new lens
law, the Rock Island Auto club
will conduct a school of instruc-
ton Thursday night in the club
room, No. "a, State bank building.
Auto owners and drivers are invit-
ed, and the workings of the new
law and the proper focusing of au-
tomobile headlights viii be fully
ify under the law will be shown.
and those which do not meet the
requirements. This service will be
free and there will be no effort
made 10 solicit memberships in the
auto club.
II seems 10 be the impression OF
n good many owners that by paint
ing the upper half OF their lenses
they are complying with the new
ordinance. 1t is affirmed. however.
that even If the painting of the
lens would comply with the laws
provisions the lighting would be
poor and would not satisfactorily
illuminate the road II is further
claimed that out o. IS lenses man
ufactured more than half can not
qualify under the law.

Gold stocks Moving Up.

Gold mining stocks have proved an
attractive speculation to several trad
ers in the last few weeks and the
quiet buying OF those shares has been
reflected in a steady increase In their
market price. Dome Mines and Rand
Mines were the two which were bought
in fairly good volume yesterday, the
former getting UP to 20ss. and the
latter advancing 1M points to 26N
Both OF them have moved up several
points during the last week. With the
value Of gold metal fixed at $20.67 an
ounce and the position of the foreign
exchange market as it Is, Wall street
holds that those stocks are an excellent
speculation. The district argues that IL
gold can be produced for s20.67 at a
reasonable profit--and 1t Is understood
that such Is the case as operating costs
In South Africa as well as In Canada
have declined materially--then the %
per cent. discount on sterling exchange
and the 10 per cent. discount on Cana
dian exchange, the gold produced in
South Africa and in Canada Is worth
considerably more In terms OF those
countries currencies than in normal
times. In other words, if a satisfactory
profit can be obtained on the basis of
the American valuation Of the dollar.
with their lower production costs and
the big discount on their exchanges, the
British and Canadian mining companies
can have very substantial margin of
velvet on their entire output.

Rails Lead Advance.

The entire list displayed yesterday
not unexpected bouyancy which after
the first hour. when the rails were get
ting well under way developed Into
quiet but steady rising movement and
with few exceptions the active list
closed materially higher than It did on
Thursday. Continued buying from pro-
fessional quarters was reported during
most of the day. while commission
houses for the first time noted an in
clination on the part OF the public to
get into the game. The non-profes-
sional traders did not buy a great many
stocks. brokerage circles reported, but
they displayed more interest than they
have In long time and at the same
time there were more than the usual
number OF nibbles-timid at first, but
gradually showing a growing conf
dence. Wall Street believes that 1t Is
almost certain that II the advance goes
much further good sized public fol-
lowing will be attracted, and with that
fact in mind the district for the most
part is looking for q substantial I'M
provement in sentiment.
