ARREST ELEVEN
IN S!LvIS RAID
Officers Use Sap When Inmates of
House Resist Arrest - Some
Leap From Second Floor.
Especial Moline serv1ce.)

Four women and seven men were
taken in a raid on the residence of
Henry Buysse, POS First avenue,
Silvis, at 1915 o'clock last night.
One woman, Martha George, and
several men escaped by leaping
from a second story window.
A number of those taken in GUS
tody gave bonds for their appear
ance for trial before Justice Mar
chant this afternoon, while the 9TH
ers were detained Mrs. Buysse
and her two daughters were among
those arrested.
The raiding party was headed by
Marshal J.-P. Johnson, and includ-
ed Deputy Sheriffs Willis and Graf
ton and a member of the Silvis po-
lice force. Occupants of the house
were completely surprised. The
door was opened at the knock of
the marshal, but recognizing the
officers, someone on the inside
quickly slammed the door and lock-
ed it.
The officers forced their way into
the house, using their saps on the
heads of those who attempted to
block their way Marshal Johnson
stated this morning there were IA
men in the house. During the par
ley at the entrance it is believed a
quantity of liquor was destroyed.
Only a half gallon of hooch was
found. One of the officers caught
the jug containing the liquor as it
was thrown from a second story
window.
Buysse was arrested in a raid
several months ago. He was tried
before Justice Marchant and fined
, $500. whereupon he took an appeal
to the circuit court. The case is
pending.
1t was intimated by the authori-
ties this morning that there might
be further startling developments
in connection with the case.
Marshall Johnson declined at
this time to give the names of
those arrested, hoping that by
showing consideration in this re-
spect several of them might be in
| fiuenced to- give the Information
which the police are seeking.

URGES SUPPORT
OF HOME TOWN
Exchangeites Told by Civic Engi-
neer That "R0ck Island
Makes Davenport"

w. J. Fitzgerald, "ciyic engineer"
of Chicago, told the Exchange club
this noon in the Rock Island club
that man who is not patriotic to
his home city is not patriotic at
all.
Promising to make his talk like
the modern style of skirts. long
enough to cover the subject, but
short enough to be interesting" he
gave a multitude of reasons why
Rock Island folk should be proud
of their city and boost for it at all
times.
He complimented the Exchange
club organization throughout the
United States for doing practical
ly what many societies are theor-
etically attempting and said he was
particularly pleased to know that
the Exchange club members in
Rock Island were showing their in
terest in the Servus Rubber com
pany, new industry, by getting
back of the movement, and sub
scribing to the stock of the corpor-
alton This is showing civic pat
riotism practically, he maintained.
Referring to the era of prosper
ity that came after the war, he
said that many thought it would
continue always and began to
build ten-story structures upon a
foundation intended for two-story
buildings. "Men." he said, forget
there must be such d thing as pro-
duction before there can be distri-
button. The result is over-produc-
ton.
1.-The times must learn the les
son. that the foundation of true
prosperity rests upon integrity
vision, industry and cooperation.
James F. Pound. president. in
formed the club that the Exchange
organization had grown more with
in the last three months than il
had in the past 10 years. He pre-
dicted that the Exchange organiza-
ton would before long be the
strongest of any society of its kind
in the country.

MILK DEALERS
FIGHT CHARGES
Claim Law Against Less Than
Eight Ounce Bottles Is
Unconstitutional.

Lawrence P. Strayer, Walter a..
Strayer and F. H. Peterson, Rock
Island milk dealers, have filed mo-
ton in county court to dismiss
charges of selling milk in contain
ers carrying less than legal capac-
itI. 1t is intimated that the con-
stftutionality of the law may be in
volved in the defense.
The Strayers, who conduct the
Sanitary Dairy company, and Pc
terson, a resident of Vandruff's is
land, were arraigned in county court
recently on Information furnished
by City Health Inspector L. X. Eihl,
who charged the defendants with
selling milk in 6-ounce bottles for
half-pint capacity. The state law
specifies an S-ounce bottle.
Motion to quash the information
in each case was filed yesterday
afternoon after the defendants fur
nished $500 bonds each. The de-
tense contends that the law is I'M
constitutional in that it deprives
the defendant of property without
due process of law: that it is I'M
just, unwarranted and in illegal re-
straint of trade and contract

nue., Moline, and Frank De Greve,
546 Eighteenth avenue, Moline.
They denied trying to dismantle
the car and said that they were
only standing nearby looking at it.
While the police were out on the
first call another call came into the
station reporting the theft of a car
belonging to A. E. Eden, which dis
appeared from Fifth avenue and
Fifteenth street, Moline, sometime
