WARM DAYS AHEAD
TEMPERATURENOW|
10 ABOVE AVERAGE

Even yesterday, with its 10 de-
grees above the average mean tenn
perature for that day, failed to sur
pass the high temperature reached
by the mercury today.
AT O'Clock this afternoon the
thermometer had already passed
81 degrees, the high mark reached
yesterday. The mercury was pre-
dlcted to go degree or two high
er this afternoon. However, tenn
peratures of 80 and 81 degrees dur
ing the last of June and first of
July are very common, since the
sun shines the longest part of the
day, Andrew Hamrick, weather
man, said this afternoon.
The warmest July 16 recorded
was in 1918 when 80 degrees was
reached. Last year June 16 was
81 degrees, and in 1920 it was so
degrees. The average temperature
for June Is is 81 degrees.
A high pressure which is over
the Rocky mountains is moving in
this direction and will bring fair
and warmer weather with it for the
next two or three days. Until about
July 4 the hours of sunshine will
be longer than at any other time of
the year, the longest day being
June p. There are 1872 hours of
sunshine now, the longest day be-
ing only fraction of an hour more
than this figure.

Two women, Mrs. Edward B.
Kreis, 1912 Twenty-second street,

Twenty-third street, for the first
time in many years will seek
places on Rock Island board of
education, They will oppose J. F.

terms expire and are candidates for
reelection. The election will be
held Tuesday, June 81.
Mrs. Edward Berry, sos Twenty

rotary of the board before O'Clock
tomorrow night, 10 days before the
election. No other petitions have
been filed in opposition to Mr.. Wit
ter and Mr. Clevenstine.
The petitions for Mrs. Kries and
Mrs. Ward are the result of a wo-
mans movement, not instigated by
any particular woman'S organiZa-
ton, but by a feeling among the
women that they should have rep
resentation on the Rock Island
public school board of education,
it was explained today.
Earlier rumors that women can
would seek places on the
board were denied by women whose
names were mentioned in this con-
nection.

ROCK ISLANDER
is FIRED UPON
BY POLICEMAN

Oscar Samuelson, 1888 Sixth ave-
nue., Rock Island, was the target
for a famous marksman of Moline
police department yesterday after
noon.
Samuelson, II is said, selected a
pair of shoes in the Krissberg shoe
store, 604 Fifteenth street, and ne
elected to pay for them. The prC-
Prietor of the store caused so much
excitement the police suspected
that a murder or robbery had been
committed. Samuelson, however,
was not injured by the shots. In
police court he displayed a frater-
nal card, and he received a lecture
from an official who is a member
of the same fraternity.
At the end of the lecture Sam
uelson was arraigned on a charge
of disorderly conduct. He pleaded
guilty and was fined SO.

SCOTT BRANDS
BOARD RUMORS
AS ALL LIES
Says Alleged Story About Him Is
Attempt to Discredit City
Administration.

John K. Scott, city attorney, APP
peared before the board of super
visors this afternoon and chal-
Ienged members of that body TO
repeat charges which he said had
been made in it's star chamber ses-
sion rejecting upon himself.
The star chamber session heard
plea of committee of three mem
bers of the May grand jury who
asked Feappointment OF the whole
body to continue its Investigations
against the inside" of a bootleg
cling ring which it asserted was
operating in this county The board
was advised by B. S. Bell, state s
attorney, that such reappointment
on request of the men named, would
probably invalidate every act of
the body.
According to Mr.. SCOTS infor-
nation the board had been told
that he was approached by boot
logger recently who offered two
pints of liquor. Mr.. Scott, SO the
rumor averred, advised the man to
leave the city.
There isn't a fabric OF truth In
it," Mr.. Scott vehemently informed
the supervisors. The man who
originated that story is a liar and
a coward and l will brand him that
now or any time. Even if l had
made such a retort to a bootlegger,
it would be my own business.
1.-The whole thing is an endeavor
to discredit the city administra-
ton and l am informed fostered by
a man, not SO far removed from
this body, who has the mayoralty
bug"
The supervisors heard the city
attorney without comment.
The next order of business was
rejection of three groups of cleo
ton judges nominated by Super
visor W. F. Bradley of Rock Island
to sit at election precincts in that
section of the city south of Eight
zenith avenue. The rejection was
another formal act of the board in
the alleged annexation
of South Rock Island territory 10
Rock Island township.

"Put One Over" and Position
"AbOye ReprOach.7

Chicago, June 16.-Adolphus
Busch has put one over" and his
present position in reference to en-
forcing the prohibition law on
American ships is above reproach
and deserving of the highest com
mendation." Virgil Hinshaw. chair
man of the Prohibition National
committee said today in a state
ment.
1t is a sad commentary upon
our government that it has re-
manned for Americas foremost ex-
brewer TO reveal the big leak in the
national administration of the pro-
hibition amendment" continued the
statement.
4 The joke of the whole thing is
that some people seem to thing it
necessary TO get behind the Busch
instead of coming out into the open
the same as he has done, and seek
ing to amend the wrong done.
"Adolphus Busch has issued to
us challenge, high and open. Are
We big enough TO meet it?"

RATES OF TAX
Objected To
BY RAILROADS
Burlington and d. Ri Il n. W.
Lines File Protests In
County Court.

Objections to alleged excess tax
rates were filed in county court
yesterday afternoon by the Bur
1ington and the DIR L. & N W
railways. June WIS the last day
allowed for filing such objections
but in each instance Acontinuances
were granted.
The Burlington objects to an ex-
cess rate of As cents in county
taxes, amounting to S2,72z26. For
Rock Island the alleged excess is
s5S36S and for Moline, $779.1L
East Moline and Silvis. are includ-
ed for lesser sums and practically
all amounts levied in the school
districts are objected to- For the
Rock Island school district, this
sum amounts to $2,769.44, based
on an alleged excess rate of GO
cents.
In their objections the railroads
cite the following specific in
stances and their reasons for re-
fusing to pay the levy:
County tax-The county clerk has
extended a rate of IS cents for
county tax which includes a rate
Of 80 cents for ordiary county pur-
poses and rate of 20 cents for a
tuberculosis sanitarium. and rate
of % cents for county highway tax.
The question of establishing a
tuberculosis sanitarium has been
Submitted to the voters and car
ried, but no resolution was ever
adopted or submitted To the voters
for levying an additional tax for
ia
purpose IN addition to the limita-
ton of so cents for ordinary coun-
ity purposes is authorized under
court decisions. There is no au-
thority for levying a county high
way tax in addition to 50-cent rate
for ordinary purposes.
Moline-Street and bridge, pub
lie benefit, police pension fund and
fremen 8 pension fund are not au
thoriZed in addition to the limita-
Iion of S1.33 13 for general pur-
poses, for the reason that the acts
under which these taxes are levied
do not by their terms authorize a
tax in addition TO the limitation of
levy for general purposes under
lsection i, article 8, of cities and
villages act.
In addition to the elimination of
these items, the rates for park tax,
garbage tax and hospital tax
should be scaled under section ,
of the JUL law. The total rate
authorized for all city purposes,
including the rate extended for
street and bridge tax, is a rate of
$2.37. making the excess rate ex-
tended for city tax and street and
bridge tax, 63 cents.
Rock Island-The tax rate is ex-
tended at the rate of % cents in
excess of that authorized when
properly scaled under the require
ments of the JUL law.
Objections of the Rock Island
Lines were filed early in June, but
these did not include opposition to
the collection of street and bridge
taxes and sanitarium, taxes. In
other respects, however, the Rock
Island Lines objections are similar
10 those filed yesterday.
