DISPOSAL OF TRASH
NEAR BAY FAVORED
Bell Tells Twentieth Century Club
This Would End Dump-Fund
Shortage Is Handicap.

Tho need of larger appropriations
for street cleaning and to take care
OF city refuse properly was stressed
by Engineer Commissioner J. Frank
lin Bell in an address before the
civic section Of tho Twentieth Cen
tury Club at 1884 I street yesterday.
Employees of the street cleaning di-
vision are paid small wages and there
are not appropriations adequate to
hire enough men to care for the
streets and otherwise aid toward
Identification of Washington, the
Commissioner continued.
Maj. Bell said that the best means
of disposing Of trash would be to
haul 1t down the river in barges and
dump it near Chesapeake Bay. In
New York City trash Is disposed of in
the ocean, and, If such d procedure
were adopted in this city. 1t would
do away with Objectionable dumps,
he pointed out
Under the present system, he said,
dumps have to be located as near as
possible to reduce the length of the
haul, and thus save money. This also
Is true, he explained, because OF the
lack Of appropriations.
Following Commissioner Bells ad-
dress. the association made a recon-
mendation to him that a stockade be
built around the District Jail. to en-
able prisoners to exercise. The
recommendation followed reading of
a report. sent to the organization by
the chairman Of its Jail committee,
Adelia F. u. Bauer, in which she pro-
posed the stockade be built.
Mrs. Robert c. Howard, chairman of
the civic section. who presided. an
nounced that a special committee
hA nyo. l. l..
with all bills coming before Con-
gress which affect the District. This
committee is to report to the civic
section from time to time. The sec
ton will also work for an adequate
educational program for the District
and also request certain improve
ments in the jail, Mrs. Howard said.

Old Fight Re-Echoes.
But the charges have brought an
echo OF old times when Looney rode
roughshod over all who opposed him
In his domination Of city affairs
through gang control. Those were
times or murder, with nine persons
Killed here in 1922 alone before he
was crushed and the underworld rule
broken.
Looney came to Rock Island 80
years ago, starting his Rock Island
News.
In 1912 the citizens, outraged at
conditions, stormed the city Jail, and,
on order of the mayor, shot into 1t,
Killing three persons. At that time
the mayor, Harry NJ. Schriver, openly
announced that he would get Looney,
and he did beat him SO one night that
he was expected to die. But he re-
covered and again In 1918 came into
the llmelight when the Federal Gov
ernment took hand in attempting
to enforce prohibition. Then In 1921
his newspaper plant was dynamited.
About that time two Of his editors
were sentenced to prison for a year
for criminal libel. Looney was
against the wall. Then came the big
1922 flare-up. The Government sent
Federal men here to Investigate
conditions. Bill Gabel, ono of the
lords of the underworld, who tired
of the life, opened up to the inspec-
tors. He was killed.
Argus Attacked Looney.
The Rock Island Argus opened an
attack on Looney and his cohorts,
who were then in control Of local
affairs. Later Looney and his son
were attacked while in their auto
mobile in front of a local hotel and
the son was shot and killed, while
the elder Looney escaped to his 2O,-
0Oo-acre ranch in New Mexico. Five
men were then killed here and troops
were sent in to preserve order.
That marked the beginning Of the
end of gang rule. A new city ad-
miniStration turned out the old rul-
erS and the resorts were closed
There still is a flicker of life in
the old gang. however. AT least that
is the Interpretation given the move
at this time to connect the leaders

city with the murder of John Looney,
