The bandits were in an automo-
bile that had been stolen from the
garage of Cyriel DeCIaercq, 131
Fifth street. Silvis. The machine
was later found in Sylvan park,
foot of Nineteenth street.
Zahn was attracted by the ma
chine for the reason that it was
without lights. The policeman
was driving Magistrate Gustafson
to the latter's home at 1920 Fourth
avenue when he first observed the
bandit car travelling east on Fifth
avenue toward Twenty-seventh

are believed to be bandits stopped.

CHAMBER FIGHT
EXPECTED OVER
BOARD PROGRAM
Especial Moline Service }

The proposed plan of eliminating
social activities of the Moline
Chamber of Commerce and aban-
doning present quarters of the or
ganization in the Leedy building,
it is rumored, will be strenuously
opposed at the membership meeting
tomorrow evening.
The membership, it seems, is di-
vided on the proposition, but those
favoring the continuing of social
activities are in the majority, judg
ed by the dissenting rumors af1oat.
In letters sent to members re-
Gently the directors outlined a pro-
gram. in the shape of resolutions.
which proposed the abandonment
of the club rooms in December
when the lease expires. This ac-
ton would necessarily eliminate
the social features. The meeting
tomorrow evening was called by
the directors for the purpose OF
sounding sentiment of the members
regarding the plan.
Unless a peaceful settlement is
made between the two factions in
the meantime tomorrow's meeting
promises to be a lively session.

ISLAND BRIDGE
PLAN FAVORED
| East Moline Chamber OF Commerce
Takes Formal Action; Toll
! Is Suggested.
Especial Moline service.)

The East Moline Chamber of
Commerce has taken the initiative
in promoting the construction of a
bridge for pedestrians and vehicles
to Campbells Island. r. NJ. Har-
per, acting executive secretary of
the chamber, planned to present
the suggestion formally to Off
Gals of the Tri-City Railway Co.
today. Whatever action is taken
by the Tri-City Railway Co, how
ever, will have to be determined
by the board of directors, it was
announced yesterday.
Mr.. Harper and members of the
board of directors of the East Mo-
line Chamber of Commerce will
make determined effort to have
the island popularized by providing
more adequate means of transpor-
tation. Members of the chamber
believe it would be to the advant-
age OF the railway company, in
added patronage OF concessions to
provide vehicle bridge.
Cooperation OF the Moline and
Rock Island Chambers of Com
merce will be requested in promot-
ing the bridge plan. Interests of
Moline, Rock Island and East Mo-
line are believed to be identical.
1t is estimated that a street car
bridge would cost $4,000. This
amount would pay for a structure
much more substantial than the
old bridge A bridge for vehicles
and pedestrians would cost consid-
erably less, it is said
How the proposition will be fin
anced in the event the Tri-City
Railway Co. directors veto the pro-
posed vehicle bridge plan, remains
question. Someone. has proposed
that the necessary money be adj
vanced by the Tri-City Railway
Co., and that toll be charged. In
order TO collect toll it will be nee
essary to have a permit from the
federal government, as the law
provides that toll can be charged
only for passage over federal
bridges.
