WILL REMODEL KITCHEN Reolut'cn Waited by Commission Providing That Bid for I m proverriert Be Called for. 3rd Avenue through to 2nd Rock Island, Illinois mm Rock Iiand is soon to hare a "day; lftt court room." The deplorable cosditlon under which Police Magis trate C. J. Sinit'a has been working at tha citv hall, are soon to be remedied. At tie meet:Eg of the city commls ion yesterday afternoon Mayor H. M. Sctriver presented a resolution, which passed, providing that J. H. Stapp. building inspector, be authorized to f-irniah estirrates on the cost of re- mndellnK the kitchen at the station In to a court room. For years the police court has been inducted in a room underneath the ain leadiLK up to the second floor for the city hail. The room has no windows or doors which open into the ftreet and light U afforded only through artificial sources and the vea illation by an electric ran. The year around electric lights fur ih the light. In the winter time the o'ce becomes etuffy and la the sum mer time, even with the fan In opera tion the heat and air Is almost un bearable. Fan Is Annoyance. With the fan turned on. the noise resulting makes it hard for the magls trite to bear the testimony and oft- times he is forced to shut it off. Sev eral times this summer he had held eourt In the lobby of the police sta tlon on account of the poor ventilation la the Inside room. The room is very i-l and accommodates but few over i tcore of people. la the new court room, however, tbers are three windows and a door firing entrance from the street will be be provided. ThU will mean better veatllatlon, and light and more room. Magistrate Smith for the past year nas petitioned various members Oi the council asking their aid in remedying the matter. It has been broached by the commissioners several times, but so formal steps to arrange a change were taken until yesterday.

Bredar & Sons' bi cycle shop at 2S29 Fifth avenue, was completely gutted in a fire which started at 4 o'clock yesterday after noon. A valuable horse.. the property of Charles Evans, who rented the barn, was rescued in the nick of time. Smoke was seen to issue from the barn by neighbors, who notified Mr. Evans. He just had time to get the animal out of the barn when it burst into a mass of flames. An emergency hose was first used on. the flames by rmclorei of the Rock Island Lumber comnany's barn, which is situated across the alley, not 25 feet away. The fire grew so hot it was feared that the lumber company's barn would catch fire, and Instead of pouring the water on the flames employes soaked the bie barn with water and when Chief Newberry arrived he had to take the hose away from uiem to play it on the flames. A small barn Just to the west ot the burning structure caught fire from the Intense heat and the shingles on a house to the soutnweet also were ablaze. The paint on the residences In the vicinity oa the walls facing the fire were badly blistered. Much credit J Is due the firenin for saving the sur rounding structures, as the neighbor hood Is crowded with inflammable buildings and the strong northeast wind was blowing the sparks toward them. The total loss will reach several hundred dollars and Is entirely cov ered by insurance.

BEST & RUSSELL CO., Chicago, III. Hazel Ham, 11 years old, told the details of the relations which had ex isted between herself and her step father, Joe Stone, in police court this morning. Stone Is charged with hav ing committed rape. The alleged assaults, according to the story told by the little girl, oc curred frequently before and eftUi Christmas of the past year, and It was only through the absence of letters. which the defense claimed would en tirely clear Stone, that the case was again continued, after some testimony was taken, until next Tuesday. Hazel stated that while in Burling ton with her mother and stepfather the assaults occurred. She also stated that while staying at the home of Mrs. Lucy Yates, in Moline, they were continued. Mrs. Lucy Yates, of Moline, took the Island after the girl and told of Ston his wife and Hazel staying at their home. She stated that several times the mother went to dances and left in structions that the daughter was not to sleep in their rooms, but with Mrs. Yates. She said that in each of thae Instances after the mother departed Stone would rail the girl to his room. She said she reported the mat ter to Hazel's mother and that It was as a result of this that Stone was ar rested in Moline last winter and tried on a similar charge to the one he now faces. Throughout the cross-examination of both the girl and Mrs. Yates, At torneys Harry McCaskrin and Ben Stewart, representing Stone, attempted to show that the mother of the girl and Stone had not lived peaceably together and that as a result the case, now be ing tried was but a persecution. Assistant State's Attorney A. C. Edward-,, who conducted the case for the state, introduced no further witnesses, and Attorney McCaskrln stated that he did not intend to produce any testi mony from Stone. He asked, how ever, that Attorney Edwards present Did you get them this morning? BEST & RUSSELL CO. Chicago, 111. t the court letters which Mrs. Salis bury, police matron of Moline, turned over to him at the conclusion of ; the last trial in "Moline. Attorney McCaskrln claimed that in those leters which were written to Stone by Mrs. Stone lay Stone's ac quittal of the charge, as la the last case the same epistles resulted in his dismissal. Attorney Edwards stated he could not produce them, as he did not know where they were, and he stoutly ar gued against any continuance of the case, as asked by Attorney McCaskrln. Magistrate Smith, however, granted a postponement until next Tuesday afternoon, so that Mr. Edwards could hunt up the letters and present them to the court. He stated that both sides should have an equal chance to pre sent all "testimony. In this life each man gets only as s much happiness as he makes himself. And to make happiness for yourself ' you must make others happy.
