SAFEAND AUTO
F0UND;SCHMIDT
ISLOSER $500
Property of Rock Island Man Re-
covered After LOOfing Of
Safe.

Safe stolen from the residence of
Albert C.. Schmidt, 1923 Twenty
fourth street Tuesday evening and
his auto, which was used to carry
it away, have been recovered. The
safe was recovered along the Coal
town road, six miles south of Mo-
line, shortly after noon and the
automobile found a few hours later
on Railroad avenue, Moline, be-
tween Fourth and Fifth streets.
The burglars drove the stolen car
OF the main road by way of a lane,
shut off from the main highway by
a wire. 1t was obvious that they
had this spot chosen and had
planned this part Of the burglary
far ahead.
The safe had been opened in the
usual way, but when the police
swung open the outer sdoor, they
found the inner one locked, and it
was necessary to use a pass key.
Inside were found papers of all de-
scriptiOns, valuable only to their
/ owner; a broken string of pearls
and a bracelet These articles had
been neatly replaced by the burg
lars after they had taken the money,
watches and other things on which
they might realize some cash. Not
paper was found on the ground
near the safe.
The tip regarding the safe came
to the Moline police from d man
named Wendell, who saw the iron
box while he was grading the roads.
Chief of Police Ben DeJaeger of
Moline and Chief of Police Tom Cox
of Rock Island went out to investi-
gate. The safe was taken back to
Rock Island.
While the two chiefs were out
after the safe, the Moline police
were informed that the Studebaker
car, stolen from the garage of Mr..
Schmidt the night of the burglary,
was on Fifth street between Fourth
and Railroad avenue, Moline, where
1t had been abandoned by the
cracksmen when the gas gave out.
The seat cushion had been dis
carded to make room for the safe,
and the brakes would not hold The
car was tOwed to the police station
behind the police department Ford.
Aside from the condition of the
brakes, the car was unchanged, but
the mud on the hood land tenders
Indicated that it had been driven on
the country roads.
The haul was made between s
and 1880 o'clock Tuesday night.
while the family was away. En-
trance was gained through a second
story window at the rear of the
house. The 500 pound safe was
taken out of the house and loaded
INTO the automobile without dis
turbing the neighbors.
Contents of the safe were valued
at $500 by Mr. Schmidt.

this year by the late ..ustlce Gould
of the District Supreme Court
A few weeks ago the nj ,tric, COR.
of Appeals reversed Justice Gould

II the United States Supreme Court
should uphold the .apDel;are c.urt,

slderation. Mr.. Steph ems explained.
In 1917 the utilities commission or
dered the power company to reduce
the electric light rate to private resi-
dences from 10 to s cents per kilo-
watt hour, which the commission be-
lleved would yield the company per
cent on the valuation fixed by the
commission.
The company contended the valua-
ton was too low and obtained from
the District Supreme Court an in
junction restraining the commission
from enforcing the Scent rate, pend
ing a final decision by the courts on
the fairness Of the valuation.
Difference Set Aside.
Under the terms of the injunction
the consumers have continued to pay
the 1O-cent rate. but the company has
had to set aside the difference be-
tween the two rates until the litiga-
tion is ended.
More than 100000 has already
accumulated in the impounded fund,
and it is predicted that the amount
will be close to 100000 before the
case is finally settled.
II the last court decision is against
the commission, the large sum ac-
cumulated will go to the company II
