OIL COMPANIES
HARD AT IT IN
PRICE CUT WAR
Rock Island Sees Many New No.
florists Taking Advantage Of
Slashes by Three Firms.

Rock Island has become the CEN
trail point of interest to quad-city
automobile owners. A gasoline
price war is being waged, with
Davenport, Moline and East Mo-
line out of it Autoists are not slow
in taking advantage of the situa-
ton, and more cars than ever are
to be seen upon Rock Island streets.
Some drivers do not stay long, but
reports from three oil companies
show that business in Rock Island
is taking a big boost at the ex-
pense of reduced gasoline sales in
the surrounding community.
The price slashing started Tues
day and another cut was made to-
day. The Illinois Oil company, the
Standard Oil company and the Sin
clair Refining company are keep
ing close step in the price drops.
The first company named sells
three grades of gasoline while the
other two sell only one grade.
Yesterday the Illinois Oil COM
pany cut the price of its poorest
grade from IS to 171s cents a gal
lon. The other two grades sold for
1Sk and 25 cents, respectively. The
company has two stations in Rock
Island.
This morning the prices at the
Twenty fourth street station were
further cut to II, 171a and % cents,
while the prices at the Eighteenth
street station remain the same, the
company announced. 1t has no ser
vice station in Moline, but proof
that the price war is a Rock Island
affair is shown by the company

Mrs. Hazlett, who was spirited
away by band of men to a lonely
spot on a country road near Nora

late last night. She was put out
{ of the automobile used by the men
and a nearby farmer and his two
sons brought her back to Mason

time she was being hurried out of
the city, and after scoring various
organizations in the city, made
preparations to defend Mrs. Haz-
lett, should she be molested again.

HARDING FIGHTS REDUCTION
IN NAVAL BUILDING
Sends Word TO Senate Republic
cans lie Desires Adequate
Appropriations

Washington, Feb. 2S.-President
elect Harding sent word to Senate
Republican leaders that he desired
adequate appropriations for the
navy and favored continuing the
present building programme with
out material reductions.
With this definite statement Of
what was regarded as the new Ad-
ministratiOn's naval policy, Senate
Republican leaders declared they
would insist upon the Senate in
Creases over the House totals in the
the risk of defeating the bill at this
session.
Mr.. Harding's views were given
the reduced appropriations made
in response to inquiries regarding
by the House. The Presdent-elect
replied that he was in complete
sympathy with the action of the
Senate Naval Committee in increas-
ing the House totals.
The Fresident-eiect, it was said,
did not indicate his position with
reference to Senator BOrah's dis
armament proposal. Some Senate
leaders said, however, they felt as
sured that he would favor disarma-
ment provided a general agreement
could he obtained and that conse-
quently prospects for adoption of
Senator Borah's disarmament reso-
luton had improved.
Leaders expressed doubt whether
the House would yield to the Sem
ate increases proposed in the naval
bill and said it might be that the
bill would not be passed before
March 4.

WOMAN DIES
AS RESULT OF BURNS

Mrs. Jennings Whitehead, of near
Centertown, died at $3.50 o'clock
Sunday night as the result of burns
sustained at noon of that day. Her
mental condition had been poor for
several weeks and it is believed she
set her clothing on fire in an effort
to commit suicide, but 1t is possible
that the affair was an accident. A
neighbor discovered her running
about the yard with her clothes
ablaze, but before she was reached
her body was severely burned. DR..
Smith of Centertown, was called
and rendered all medical assistance
possible but to no avail.
She was about 60 years of age
and is survived by a husband and
seven children. Burial occurred at
the Centertown cemetery, Monday.
