Bootlegger Plead Poverty Stories
of poverty and deprivation which
forced them to resort to the illicit
Bale of intoxicating liquors without,
first having obtained a government li
cense, were told by the majority of
the ten defendants who appeared be
fore United States Judge Smith Mc
pherson. All were held on the charge
of bootlegging, nine of the offenders
being r'Kidpnts of Muscatine. Per
haps the most pitiful cane was that of
Mrs. Mary Reams of Muscatine, who
told a story of misfortune that ame
lorf'.tr-J her offense In the eyes of
JudZf; McPherson to the extent that
hliP ran released with a suspended
Bcpifhoir' of thrr-e months In the coun
ty jail. According to Mrs. Kearns,
he is -50 years of age and Is a laun
f'refs. Her first iris hand was kilU-d
In an accident and ft her impover
ished and forced eo provide for a fam
ily of five children. She married a
fehort time afterwards and her second
hufbiind became insane and w?s com
mitted to the state hospital. Shortly
aftf-rward, one of her children was
drowned, and to add to the list of
misfortunes, she was seriously injured
in an accident which has left her par
tially crippled. The story told by the
woman and the heretofore good repu
tation which lihe had borne in Musca
tine, brought clemency from the court,
and the wsis released uftcr being giv
en a lecture on the evils of bootleg
ging. Closely resembling the story
told by Mrs. Kcarus was that of Mrs.
Mary Pearson, who was also indicted
by the grand jury for bootlegging. She !
claimed that she was the mother of i
tight children, all of whom were prac
tically dependent upon her for sup
port. Her husba.id had been laid up
with rheumatism and the family was
driven to desperation because of their
poverty. She had sold only a few
botUes of liquor before the federal
officers made the arrest. A three
montha' sentence was suspended over
her.

New Boliers'for Waterworks As a
result of the visit to Mollne of Dabney
Maury, consulting engineer, decision
has bean reached as to the type of
boilers and grates to be Installed in
the made-over Moline ' waterworks.
Commissioner Jahns and Mr. Maury,
after careful investigation of models
and types made In American factories,
have agreed that the two 75-horse
power water tube boilers now In use
at the municipal plant shall be re
placed by two 200-horse power water
tube boilers of a standard description.
Installation of these two new boilers
will nearly triple the present boiler
efficiency. Mr. Maury located several
desirable sites for the proposed new
atandpipe In the bluff district and the
commission, in ordering purchase of
property for this purpose, will be con
sierably influenced by the expert en
gineer's recommendations.
Patriarchs Win Prize Patriarchs
Militant of Canton Moline, to the num
ber of 33, have returned from the Btate
meeting in Galesburg with $35 in well
earned prize money to their credit.
Wednesday was the most brilliant, day
of the whole session and when it
came time for the dress parade the
chevaliers from Moline were the most
conspicuous set of men In the half
mile line. The prize won was for
having the largest delegation of any
canton lw the state in line. Canton
Moline won a similar prize in 1911,
when the annual department council
was held In Peoria. At that time there
were 36 chevaliers from the Plow City
in the procession.
More Curb Lights Sixteenth street
between Third and Fourth avenues
and possibly' for another block south,
is to be decorated with ornamental
cluster lamps. Owners of property on
Sixteenth street have already signed
for the improvement between Third
and Fourth avenues, and they expect
that the lights will be installed within
a fortnight. A movement is under
way at the present time for the exte
sion of the project along Third avenue
between Sixteenth and Seventeenth
streets.

Home for Reserves If the tentative
plans develop as there Is every reason
to believe they will, Moline naval re
serves will be quartered in a $10,000
armory at this time next year. Lieu-
tenant W. C. Jitdinston has been
working upon this feature ever since
taking charge of the division early in
the year, and has worked out plans
which will give Moline the crack
division of the state and the most
modern housing facilities. It is the
idea of the commanding officer to
erect this structure for the use of
the sailor lads exclusively. The armory
!s to be located oa the river bank,
just east of the present reserve boat
house at the foot of Twentieth street.

All you have to do is to ask for Schlitz
in Brown Bottles.
Sunlight grows hops, but spoils the Deer.
"Beer acted upon by light soon takes up
the very disagreeable, so-called 'light
taste and also a repulsive, skunk-like odor,"
says no less an authority than the Wahl-Henius Institute
1
of Fermentology, the scientific authorities on
the subject. "Beer so affected, they say, "is
offensive to the palate of most consumers.
Light starts decay even in pure beer. Dark glass
gives the best protection against light. The Brown
Bottle protects Schlitz purity from the brewery to
your glass.
Why don't you, too, drink Schlitz? More and
more people every )rear are demanding it.
