MAYOR FACES CONTEMPT
CHARGES FOR REMOVING
PLACARDS FROM PARK
Gives $4,000 Bond to Ap-
pear Before Judge
FitzHenry.

Criminal contempt charges we're
made against Mayor c. P. Skinner.

were served by United States dep
uty marshals while the mayor vas
at dinner in his home. 1217 Eley-
enth avenue, Moline.
The mayors removal Of two in
junction placards, posted on . tree
and q pole in Riverside park. d.
rected to striking shopmen. was
the immediate cause Of the arrest.
He is charged with criminal con-
tempt of the United States district
court, and with obstructing United
States deputy marshals in serving
orders Of the court
Mayor Skinner gave bonds Of
$4,000 for his appearance before
Judge Louis Fitxhenry In Spring
field, Aug. 2&. The mayor and Ben
DeJaeger, Moline police chief, were
sureties.
The Injunction placards were re-
moved yesterday during a meeting
in Riverside park under auspices
Of the Silvis federated shop crafts.
Removal of the cards passed almost
without notice and did not rouse
the strikers to q demonstration.
Mayor Skinner contends that the
Injunction notices were removed
to prevent any disturbance. He
said: There was no occasion to
post the injunction in q city park.
The city had given permission for
the meeting, and l attended the
meeting first as citizen and sec
ondly to prevent the utterance Of
any ant-government remarks."
| The placards were printed no
tices containing the provisions Of
the court injunction issued to re-
strain the Silvis >shopmen, on
strike, from picketing and violent
demonstrations, as well as from IN
terfering with employees Of the
road.
| The arrest Of the mayor is al
most the sole topic Of discussion
among the strikers and large
part of the rest of the population
Of the quad-cities.
The deputies who we're 1t Mayor
SINNERS home last evening did
not have a warrant and that fact
led to some controversy. The var
rants we're not served until ~
mayor voluntarily went to the Of
flee of T. P. Sinnett, United States
commissioner.
The entire episode Of the arrest
seemed surrounded with some H,Ee-
terry early last night. Mayor Skin
ner and others assumed that the
matter of the placards was a closed
incident when the shop meeting
ended.
Later it appeared, according tC
Mayor Skinner, that Emore H.
Stafford of Rock Island, attorney
for the Rock Island railroad, vas
called on by one Of the deputy
marshals and asked to give his as
sistance in obtaining the authority
of Judge FitzHenry for the mayors
arrest.
