representative Of the Illinois Auto
Trades association. Mr.. Gilman
will return to the next meeting Of
the tri-city organization Monday,
June Is, to give lengthy talk on
Legislative matters which are OF
interest to automobile dealers.
The gasoline tax bill provides an
additional tax Of l cent per gallon.
which will practically mean that
small gasoline dealers will be put
out Of business, the association be-
lieyes. Gas purchased from the
small dealer will cost the consum-
er / cent more than it will from
wholesale stations, since the small
dealer must pay cant tax to the
wholesaler.

MEXICAN FACES
SERIOUS CHARGE
Said TO Have Brought Woman From
Indiana Beth Taken In
Raid.

Joe Brown, Mexican, aged 40,
was held TO the grand jury under
$1,000 bond by Magistrate D. J.
Cleland in police court this after
noon on a charge Of pandering.
Brown brought Alice Mccormick,
aged 81. to Rock Island from indi-
ana Harbor, Ind, three weeks ago.
He and the woman were arrested
at zoos Third avenue last night In
a raid by Detectives Herman Sch
merit, Dennis Bennett and Charles
Ginnane.
The warrant sworn out by the
state charges Brown to be guilty Of
pandering. This charge was made
instead of one of white slavery. for
the reason that it gives the state a
chance to prosecute, where prose-
cution under q white slave charge
would have to be carried by the
government
The woman was not arraigned
under any specific charge, but was
remanded to the county Jail to be
held as a material witness. The
police have been unable to learn
from the woman whether she was
brought here against her will.
