TEST STRENGTH
OF RESIDENTIAL
BUILDING CODE
%. ]. Brien, Jr, Thirtfeih Street
Store Permit Shows "Leop"
In Ordinance

The Rock Island city commission
learned yesterday afternoon that
the ordinance restricting building
of business buildings in the resi-
dence districts contains conditional
clauses which may offset purpose
of the ordinance.
o. J. Brien, Jr., obtained a per-
NIT from the building inspector,
John Iindros. a short time ago to
erect a small business establish
ment on the northwest corner of
Eighteenth avenue and Thirueth
street Property holders immedi-
ately objected and cited this special
ordinance. They claimed that a
business establishment on that cor
ner, or at least a small business
building would be detrimental to
that residence locality and would
detract from property values.
Mayor Harry M Schrfver order
ed the building inspector not to is
sue the permit, but was informed
that it had already been granted on
the claim by Mr.. Brien that mas
much as there are no residences in
the block on the north side of the
avenue where he intends to build
his store, persons living on the
other side of the avenue are not en-
titled to object. This construction,
Mr.. Brien said, had been affirmed
by John Scott, city attorney. On

this showing Mr.. Lindros has is
sued the permit, but the commits
sioners yesterday indicated inten-
ton to comply with spirit OF the
statute.
The commissioners have power
to change the ordinance, but wheth-
er permit already granted could
then be revoked is doubtful.
Mr.. Brien made objection to any
action of the council canceling the
permit yesterday. He was told that
the city officials could not make an
ironclad ordinance restricting the
erecting of business houses, as 1t
was the desire of every one that
the main business district spread
out, but that it had been felt nee
essary to come to the aid of resi-
dence property holders whose prop
erty lost value by small business
houses going up near them.
VIII Do square Thing"
Mr.. Brien said that he would do
the square thing" with the prop
erty holders. He said he would
| build two-story brick building
with store on the first floor and
fats on the second, but asked that
he be allowed to keep his present
permit to protect himself should
anyone buy property next to him
or residences be put up, as he said
he does not want to build for a
year. The city officials agreed that
the proposition be discussed with
! the property holders, who, it is be-
lieved, will agree to the building o.
| a first class brick structure, part
of which would be used for flats

other United States arsenaIs at
cost, with an immense saving to
the government. Last week, through
orders of the secretary of war. ST.
ooO, 1000 was returned to the general
Iund. which sum was appropriated
by congress to be used in manu-
featuring articles at the Rock Is
land arsenal. If this money was
spent here, it would relieve the sit,
uation in the tri-cities, which have
a combined population of almost
10000, to a very large extent.
When the arsenal was closed by
order of the war department, sew
eral hundred OF our citizens who
have always worked at the arsenal
and who have made their homes in
this city, were thrown out of en-
ployment after years of labor at
that plant, and are consequently
out Of employment at the present
time.
Feel Farmers Blow.
I'VE are peculiarly situated here,
due to our large factories manufac-
turing agricultural implements ex-
clusively in the cities OF Rock Is
land and Moline. Our working men
depend upon these factories for
employment. AS you well know,
the farmer is not in a position to
buy anything at this time. This
condition exists throughout the
country. The manufacturers ware
houses are now filled to the roof
with manufactured goods which
cannot be disposed of. Conse-
Quently he is not going to open his
factory until the farmer starts to
buy his product, which undoubted-
ly will be at least a year in the fu-
ture.
The federal administration is
asking US that we do things to help
the unemployed. We want to do
things. We were doing things along
these lines before the conference
met and we still continue to fol-
low up this work. But we ask that
the United States government fol-
low what it breaches and ask that
it does things. We ask that it
open the doors of the Rock Island
arsenal and manufacture peace
time, needs for this government at
just a fair wage, and let the gov
eminent secure numerous peace
time needs at the bare cost of man
ufacture. If the government is sin
cere in wanting to cooperate. let
us in reality cooperate and do the
thing that would be of advantage
not only to the government but to
the people of this entire community
as we'll"

Sarah Bosvorth Braduay
 Passes Her IO3rd Milestone
Real Daughter of American Revolution Enjoys Good
 Health and All Faculties
Receives Cifts.-Callers, Letters and Post Cards Bear Messages of
 Congratulation

Another year has passed in the life of Mrs. Sarah Bosworth Bradway of Eastford. Last Saturday this Real Daughter of the American Revolution was 103 years old. Those who called to express congratulations and best wishes looked upon the venerable lady in awe as they considered the years which span her life. She was not needing of their sympathy, for she is enjoying good health and all of her faculties and had her usual fund of stories of the long ago which she en- joyed telling. One caller, when asked by Patriot representative how Mrs. Bradway appeared, said that she seemed even brighter than she did a year ago.
 While the weather Saturday was far from ideal, niemkers, of the Eliza beth Porter Putnaus t1ptHr, D. A. R., of Putnam, of which Mrs. Bradway is an honored member, called and left gifts of flowers, May basket con- taining fruit and other small presents, Lady Washington geranium, and a book containing biographical sketches of Real Daughters of the American Revolution. As the book, which con- tains sketch and likeness of Mrs. Bradway, was printed some twenty years ago, very few of the subjects are now alive. The presentation of this book pleased Mrs. Bradway great ly. Mrs. Mary Bishop, in order that Mrs. Bradway might better read, had typed the sketch of herself in large letters and added a sketch of Mrs. Bradway's father and included pie ture of the house.
 Among those who went from Put nam were: Mrs. E. M. Warner, Re- gent of the local chapter; Mir. and Mrs. E.. L. Kelly, Mrs. Lila Leach, Miss Lottie Manning, MT. and Mrs. William Mansfield, Mrs. Alice Carpen- tel. Mrs. George Clark, Mrs. Mary Bishop, Mir and Mrs. T. H. De- Coudres and Mrs F. J. Daniels. Re- treatments were served by Mrs. Clark.

Ruth Allen, S7, Is Calm Buf Turns Her
 Back To The Planning Buildings
HOUSE AND BARN OF AMOS ALLEN UNION, TOTALLY
 DESTROYED BY FIRE
May Have Been of Incendiary
 Origin.-Catle Perish.

Before the fire had been communi- cated from the barn to the house at tention was turned to saving the ger sonal property. Nearly all of the fur niture was brought out before the vol unteer firemen and frewomen had to stand back on account of the intense heat.
 MT. Allen occupied the house. His
 unt lived with him and his hired man; also a lad of ten years that had been taken from some county home. Miss Houghton showed rare presence of mind. She seized upon some fire ex- tinguishers and put them on the pi- azza where younger hands could get them. She got her Bible and attempt ed to get some of her clothing before leaving the house. She clung to the Bible but was not able to bring out any clothing.
 It brought tears to the eyes of many to see Aunt Ruth" as she is affec- tionately known in the neighborhood, sitting calmly in an arm char as the house burned. She had her Bible open on her lap and was reading. Ev- eryone was solicitous of her welfare. After she laid out the fire extinguish- CTS she said she knew she could do nothing more, so not wishing to watch the sad sight of her home bursting, she turned her back on it and found comfort in her Bible.
 After the fire Miss Houghton was removed to the home of Harvey Law son, where she will make her home until her nephew can remove his household effects into the Willis How ard place.
 The barn destroyed was built but few years ago. It was stocked with all kinds of farming implements and there was quite a quantity of hay in the loft. Fortunately most of the cows were in pasture. The house was an old one. It was story and half building. The family has lived in Union many years and their neighbors have done everything possible to make their loss less hard to bear. They surely have the sympathy of the whole community.

counsel he entered plea of nollo con- tendre and paid a fine of $100 and costs.
 John Juskiewic and his wife An tonia both pleaded guilty. John was charged in two counts and fined $100 on each and his wife was fined like amount on one count.
 Kazemicz Buzchi and his wife Vic toria were the last to be arraigned. The wife was charged with sales in two counts and her husband with keeping with intent to sell. The hus- band was fined $100 and the wife $50 on each count, with costs :n each case.
 The evidence in the cases was fur nished by the state police. It devel- oped that they have been quietly at work here for some days and by them selves or their agents had bought li- quor of the parties where actual sales were alleged. Those present in court were Sergeant Robert Bridgeman, Walter Stiles and Philip Flynn.
 Each of the alleged owners of the liquors signed a waiver of any rights they might claim to the goods and fol- lowing the court session the bottles were broken and the stuff poured down the municipal sink.
 This is one of the most important raids made in the city since no license times of years ago and probably the amount of money collected in fines has not often been exceeded at one sitting of the court. Half of the fines and the costs of seizure go to the state while the city gets $450 in fines be- sides the costs of court which will amount to over $10O more.

City Fathers Indignant
 Direct Counsel To Proceed

ing it's removal onto his own property and as the council is considering the adoption of an ordinance governing the erection of service stations, no ac- tion was taken.
 But in the matter of the tank erect ed by Monroe & Brown, it was voted that the corporation counsel be direct ed to take such action as he deems necessary to stop this concern from operating its tank in any way that in terferes with traffic, which may be within the power of the city to do.
 Peter Gomeau appeared in his own behalf in reference to the erection of a gasolene tank in front of his place of business near the corner of Livery and Richmond streets. As this is of the main street the matter was refer red to the highway committee with power to act.
 Junk From the Fire Alarm Systsm
 Charles T. Thayer, superintendent of the fire alarm system, appeared and offered for the councils inspec- tion a quantity of what he termed junk" taken from the system and replaced by modern equipment. This included joints that had never been soldered, iron wire rusted and use less, bits of natris' now long obso- lete for serving the desired purpose, and badly worn and decomposed ma foria1 This has all been renIarnd and the system is now in good condition.

Turning her back on a fire which was destroying her home of years, seating herself in rocking chair that was salvaged from the house, Miss Ruth Houghton, age ST, sat salmly reading her Bible, the one possession which she clung to and personally saved, as flames last Sunday evening consumed the house where she lived with her nephew in the village of Union.
 While on his way to the pasture to drive in the cows about o'clock Sun- day evening, Ben Watson, hired man of Amos Allen, first saw fire in the new barn which later communicated to the house to which it was attached, also burning a fine bull and one COW, which were in their stanchions in the barn. Two horses were rescued. The loss was estimated at from $6.000 to $10,000.
 How the fire started is not known. There is some talk of it's having been oi ditttOuEu dS ldi as can be learned no strangers were seen about the place or in the village during the day Watson was attract ed by smoke coming from the barn, and Investigating, found that the hay was burning briskly.
 The alarm was quickly given and the neighbors for miles around soon gathered. The first thought was of the livestock. Two horses were brought forth with difficulty. MT. Allen was away from home driving a third horse. An attempt was made to save the bull and COW but the flames gained such rapid headway that it was found impossible, and their pitifui cries finally ceased as the animals per ished
 Union has no fire department and the only mode of fighting flames is by bucket brigades. These were hastily formed but were of little avail. A heroic effort was made to save the house but the attached barn soon be- came roaring furnace and the fire fighters with their buckets could not get anywhere near the buildings.

Members of the common council registered indignation during the reg ular meeting Tuesday evening when the subject of the erection of gasolene tanks was up for the "severalth" time for consideration and discussion.
 At a meeting some months ago an attorney for Monroe & Brown, School street, appeared, asking that the con- cern be granted permit to erect a gasolene service station in front of it's premises. The permission was re- fused.
 It was stated at the meeting Tues day night that notwithstanding the councils action the concern had gone ahead, erected the tank, and was de- livering gasolene to such customers as applied. It was further stated that the tank was on private property but that to serve cars a pipe was carried over the sidewalk.
 It was stated, as had been previous ly stated when the application was discussed, that service station at the point in question caused a dangerous situation, as there is already station across the street and if cars draw up at each simultaneously, the road is practically blocked. The council dis cussed somewhat the advisability of withdrawing the license granted E. N. Fisher on the other side of the street from Monroe < Brown. It was stated that MT. Fisher is already contemplat-
