Moline and East Moline
ENGINE HAS NO
LICENSE; TWO
ARE ARRESTED
Mysterious Car With Jugs and
Liquor Is Stopped-Suspect
Booze Runners.

Frank Zipp of Burlington, iowa,
and Anthony OCary of Keithsburg,
Ill.,, were arrested by the Moline
police last night for driving a car
without an engine license. There
were two empty jugs and a flask
of liquor in the car and officers
suspected that the men might be
booze runners.
Both prisoners denied this, and
leaving their automobile at the po-
lice station returned to their homes
to obtain proof of their innocence.
If found guilty of the charge of
having car without an engine Ii
cense they can be fined from 5000
to $500 or Jailed from so to $50
days or both.
If they are convicted the court
is compelled to order the engine
scrapped and sold for junk.
The two men were arrested at
3:45 this morning at Eighth street
and Eighteenth avenues Their car
was without license plates, which
first excited the suspicious of the
police. The car and men were
searched and it was then that the
absence of number on the engine
was discovered. Two empty jugs
were also found.
The police also claim that one
of the men emptied pint flask
containing liquor rs they were be-
ing taken from the automobiles into
headquarters.
Zipp and O'Cary admit that the
engine does not carry a number.
They also admit having the empty
Jugs and they state that they pur-
chased liquor in Aledo.
They deny. however. that they
are "hooteh hustlers" and contend
that they only recently purchased
the car and have applied for a Ii
cense They declare that they can
prove this.
I'VE had just fixed it up" said
Zipp, land we thought we'd take a
ride. We left Keithsburg at 10
O'Clock last night and were going
70 use the jugs for fishing"
