NO FACTORY ADDITIONS TO BE PUT UP IN 1903 Manufacturers Decide That Materials and Labor Are Too High to Warrant Further Extensions During the Present Year.

The high price of materials and the cost of labor is so great that the manufacturers of the city have decided not to erect a single building this season. They have erected so many in the last two years that they can all get along without any new ones for some time, and they will wait ti! there is a reduction in rates before they will do anything more in this line. BARNARD IS BEGINNING TO SHOW INTEREST IN AFFAIRS Alderman Barnard showed a lively interest in the waterworks project in the council session last evening. Mr. Skinner has had an interest in this improvement ever since he has been in the council.

He has had a like interest in all the matters and things for the betterment of the city and for its progress in all directions. His interests are centered here and he does not have to take long trips away from home that would keep him from giving proper attention to the duties of the mayoralty. He's a safe man to elecL Interest paid on regular savings deposits of $1 or more for all cal- lendar months. 4 PLEASANT VALLEY SITE Begin to Lay Permanent Track for the Big Machine Shop Swift Co. Delayed by Failure of Material.

Work was started this morning at Pleasant Valley upon the new mar chine shop spur and is to be completed by Wednesday so that Swift Co. can transport the material for their contracts directly to the shop sites and thus save the time and expense of haul ing. The spur starts a few lengths west of the junction of the wagon road and the right of way and runs east from the westbound track along the ridges to the south of the highway. The track is to be permanent and is to enter the shop thru the west end and to run its entire length. The Swifts have been delayed' a little by the non-appearance of their men and material, and by the Winston people.

Altho Mr. Donaldson is in receipt of four carloads of this ma terial, it is not upon the ground and ready to be used. He has the requisition for fifty more loads which have not yet ar rived but are on the way. These ship ments will consist of lumber, trestle work, derricks, and concrete machines. The grading has been turned toward the lowlands just south of the main line embankment where the switching tracks are to go in and is to be filled to an equal level with the grade.

SOCIAL NOTES. 30 HEW MEMBERS Local Men Now Included in Retail Association Number 112 Spend Much Time Over New Constitution.

ELECT SECRETARY LATER Selection to Be Made Next Week Liquor Dealers Barred from MembershipAs to Premiums. Thirty-eight new members were added to the roll of the Retail Merchants' association at the meeting last evening -to consider the revised constitution. The total membership now is 112, indicating an increased interest since the association has decided to incorporate under the state laws and become a permanent institution. The constitution was gone over section by section and with a few changes the sections stand according to the copies sent out to the members. The constitution was not adopted as a whole owing to the lateness of the hour.

The prohibition of "combination" sales was stricken from the clause referring to premiums, prizes, advertising in programs and giving to charitable objects. The change was ordered owing to the lack of understanding of what "combination" sales are, some considering them to be where one desirable article is bunched with shopworn goods and offered at a reduced figure. The feature may be inserted by a committee after a consideration of the matter more fully. Advertising, on programs, will hereafter be sanctioned only after the promoter of such, enterprises has consulted with the secretary and he has referred the matter to a secret committee. The selection of a permanent secretary was left to, a meeting next week.

It was voted to bar liquor dealers, wholesale or retail, from the membership. Otherwise the association admits merchants, professional men, ladies in business, factory men. 42 Interest paid on time certificates of deposits. t.4.4 t.4 4- TRACT III SUBURB E. H.

Guyer Files Deed Transferring Much Land from Classification as Lots to That for Farmland. LOT OWNERS IN PROTEST Objects to Abandonment of Streets and Alleys Which the Vacation of Land Precipitates. A deed of vacation of a big tract of land in the plat of East Moline has been filed in the county clerk's office by E. H. Guyer, and this action has aroused considerable talk among the lot-owners who have purchased ground in the suburb.

The desire of Mr. Guy er -in filing the deed is said to be to place the land on the basis of farm land valuation rather than the valuation of lots, to make taxes lower. The land for the most part includes that tract which lies between the river and the railroad tracks, and is said to cover about half of the ground in the plat of East Moline. The lot-owners are protesting loudly against the vacation of streets and al leys in the plat from the fact that they made their purchases on the under standing that the plat would be car ried as outlined. A similar objection some years ago in Stewartville was raised by the lot-owners against Dr.

Stewart and they carried the day in the courts. Headquarters For men's fine suits the best there is you will find at Mayer's. SATURDAY. Special Men's and Boys' Shirt Sale New York Store. 100 dozen soft negligee shirts, just opened.

COURTS TO DECIDE ISSUE General Manager Roberts Says Com pany Has Expected to Meet Problem Gluesing for Delay. By the action of the city council last evening, the Central Union Telephone Co's. plant in Moline is-operated with out legal right so far as the city ordinance is concerned.

The aldermen passed by unanimous vote the ordi nance repealing the company's franchise to use the streets and alleys. The franchise was granted July 20, 1885, and on its face is of the nature of a perpetual grant. An amendment to the franchise was passed Nov. 7, 1892. City Attorney Kohler offered for passage the same repealing ordinance which the council had hesitated about passing when the repeal of the franchise was first taken up some months ago.

Alderman Gluesing spoke in fa vor of additional delay on the argument that the city should first determine the attitude of the new president of the Central Union who is expected" assume his office by May 1. He held that it was inadvisable for the city to undertake a fight which promised to involve the expenditure of considerable money without first learning more of the company's attitude. He favored some sort of cooperation with Rock IsJand, where the council repealed the franchise some months ago. It was not fair, he held, that Mo line should fight the battle of all the cities. Mayor Wessel replied that it was the city's duty to compel the company to show its hand, that the company had paid no attention to the council's effort to come to an understanding over the terms of a new franchise and that it was useless to expect to secure a franchise with terms as favorable to the city as the franchise which the independent company has.

indorsed without expending money. Manager W. B. Roberts of the twin- city exchange was asked to speak for the company. He pointed out that the policy of the retiring president, Mr.

Sabin, had been a radical change from that of his predecessor, and that an other change might be expected from the new president, who is an eastern man, the opposite extreme from which Mr. Sabin had come. He suggested that the new man might regard the situation in a much different light than Mr. Sabin, and the possibility exists that other new men may go in with the new management. The company expects to have to fight the issue of a perpetual franchise in the courts, and Manager Roberts suggested that a delay might not make it necessary for Moline to fight the battle of forty or fifty other cities in Illinois where simi lar franchises exist.

Refuse an Extension. Owing to changes made in the loca tion of pipes, the Continental-Jewell company which is to install the new filter plant here has asked an exten sion of two months in the limit of their contract, owing to the necessity of hav ing the special patterns manufactured. The council refused last night to grant the extension. It was also voted to raise the em bargo against sprinkling the asphalt on the Fifteenth street hill. SATURDAY'S SPECIALS.

Supervisors Etend Grant, of Twenty Years' Duration, for the Extension to Pleasant Valley and Rock River.

TO BE BUILT THIS YEAR To Touch Rock Island Shops and Spur Will Reach to Watertown and Campbell's Island. A twenty-year franchise was granted by the board of supervisors yesterday to the East Moline interurban street railway to build an extension from East Moline to Rock river. The action Insures the construction of the interurban to the Pleasant Valley shop site and on to Carbon Cliff and the river. E. W.

Woodcock appeared before the board in presenting the matter for the interurban company. The interurban people, in accordance with the grant, build from the present East Moline terminal on east to the Vulcan shop sites. From there a. spur will run due north to the Mississippi river, passing thru Watertown. The main line will continue from the Rock Island road shops to Carbon Cliff and will pass on thru the town to the Coldna road on streets to be designated by the highway commission, ers.

The line will then run east on the Colona road to the river. The whole line" is to be constructed under the direction and to the satisfaction of the highway commissioners of Hampton township. The article appearing in one of the other papers last evening to the effect that the line would build thru Gene-seo is based on groundless rumors, nothing to that end having yet been done, tho the fact that the interurban, in less than six months of service, has decided to extend to Carbon Cliff and Rock river, shows to be running on the same progressive plans not long ago expressed by one of the -ffias of the Tri-City Railway Co. as theirs: That they are in the field to serve the public and that when the occasion demands they will be ready to do that which will be to the best interests of the public. NOTORIOUS SALOON MAN QUITS BUSINESS HERE Dick Rowland, gambler and divorcee, who operated a place on the -levee in Davenport, and whose health required a change of scene, which caused him to take charge of Joe Decker's Moline saloon, where started the quarrel which led to the murder of an officer of the Naval Re-cerves not many weeks ago, has grown tired of the strenuousness of the Moline ordinances, and the vigilance of the police, and has decided to quit the business there.

He has sold his interest in the Palace saloon to a Mr. Lear, who has taken charge, and Dick will return to Davenport. The present atmosphere of Davenport does not suggest any sucn" disagreeable interference with his business by impertinent authority as he has been encountering, but he will have to close at night. GOSSIP OF THE DAY ON THE SOUTH SIDE The funeral services of the Tate Clyde Redfern will be held Sunday afternoon at 2:30 at the Second M. E.

FRANCHISE Republican County Committee Chairmen to Meet in Bushnell Monday to Fix Date of a Judicial Convention. The bill establishing the new Second supreme court district has been passed by the senate and has become a law. This law adds the counties of Rock Island, Mercer, Warren and Henderson (all strong republican counties), to the district, and cuts out the counties of Pike and Scott, two strong democratic counties. There are none of the counties in the old district, except McDonough, which are normally republican. A republican convention for the nomination of a judge for the new district will soon be held.

A meeting of the chairmen of the various county committees of the counties comprising the district, for the purpose of fixing on the date for the judicial convention and apportioning the delegates to the various counties, will be held at Bushnell Monday next at 2 o'clock. Already a number of gentlemen of Moline and Rock Island interested in Judge Gest's candidacy have signified their intention of attending this meeting, and it is expected that a large delegation of his friends will be present at Bushnell Monday. Here's a list of the counties in the new district: Rock Island, Mercer, Warren, Henderson, McDonough, Hancock, Fulton, Adams, Schuyler, Brown, Mason, Menard, Morgan and Cass. FOOTBALL HEADGEAR IS PUT UNDER A BAN New Rule Adopted by College Committee Which Is Designed to Discourage Mass Plays and Reduce Danger. At the intercollegiate football rules committee meeting at Allantic City this week, there was a long discussion on changes in the playing rules, and the committee adjourned to April 18 to finish the discussion.

Two changes were decided upon. In the first place the side scored against will have the privilege of kicking off or making the other side kick. This will give the losing team a chance to get the ball and try to work it down the field, instead of having to go on the defensive again. The other change provides that in future games hard headgear will not be allowed on the field, and pads will be forbidden except when they are soft With this change mass play will be dangerous, and it is thought it will be hard to get men strong enough in the head to buck a line under the changed conditions.
