POLICE NEWS
II
John Davis, a burly specimen from
the Dakota harvest fields and a new
arrival in Rock Island, yes'erday aft
ernoon absorbed too much red liquor
and entering the W'eckel grocery
store, 1706 Third avenue, demanded
that a clerk present him with a slight
token, 1. e. one dozen oranges. When
the custodian of the provisions in
formed the mendicant that the store
was not a charitable institution and was
operated on a cash basis, the harvest
hand became peeved and threatened
to "bust" the clerk on the nose. Of
ficer Kell was called and the bellijr
erent one taken into cus"ody. , This,
morning Davis was told to make him
self scarce around these parts and was
dismissed. -Horace
Wilson, the 12-year-old col
ored boy, is 'in bad" again. Yesterday
afternoon he started a fight with t a'
white boy . In the. lower end of town
and when the Btruggle waa at its
height bounced a brick bat off his op
ponent's knob. Horace was arrested
and . his case will be taken before
Judge Bell. A short time ago Horace
was arrested for stealing a bushel of
pears, but pleaded for another chance.
He has a long police record and the
authorities are now determined to
commit him to some state institution.
The hearing of John and Fred Ray
mond, the boys arrested yesterday
morning for stealing watches, razors
and tobacco from. some bunk cars in
the railroad yards at Thirteenth street
and First avenue, has been continued
for several days, pending a complete
investigation by the authorities.

WAGE INCREASES
RIVALRY CAUSE
Trainmen's Scale in the West
Makes Employes of Eastern
Roads. Uneasy.
New York, Oct. 10. Wage rivalry
exists between the trainmen of the
eastern railroads and those of the
western roads and brotherhood of
ficials who are accustomed to hand
ling situations involving threats of
strikes are -unable to check it and do
not know where it will end, according
to testimony yesterday before the fed-
' eral beard that is arbitrating the
' wage demands of 80,000 trainmen 'on
astern roads.
i This rivalry. It was declared, is in
I part responsible for dissatisfaction
among the eastern employes, for
western trainmen, getting better
wages meanwhile, ridicule the men on
the eastern roads.
This testimony was given by A. B.
Garretaon and W. C. Lee, respective
headn of the conductors and train
men's brotherhoods, witnesses in re
buttal for the men.
Mr. Carre.tson, comparing eastern
and western wage schedules, declared
the eastern men are more poorly paid
and said that the men in Jjha east
were prepared to accept the wage
rates of the western roads.
In rep'y "jo questions by counsel for
the roads Mr. Garrettson said it was
ail he could do to avert new wage
movements In various parts of the
country.
Mr. Lee, testifying along the saw
line, said: "
"On Oct. 28 we hope to be In Chi
cago to assist In arranging wage dif
ferences in the western territory. At
