Governor Proclaims
May 30 Memorial Day
A PROCLAMATION.
In accordance with the custom
which our country ha adopted in
grateful remembrance of the sacrifices
and services of her soldier dead. I. Ed
ward F. Dunne, Governor of the state
of Illinois, do hereby proclaim Satur
day, May 30. 1914, Memorial Day.
I urgently request that the citizens
of nilnoia devote the day to participa
tion in exercises appropriate to com
memorate the heroism and devotion of
the American soldier and In the dec
oration of the graves of those who
have passed out of the ranks of the liv
ing to their last resting place.
Each succeeding observance of this
day should bring to us a deeper realis
ation of the debt of patriotic gratitude
owed by our nation and by ourselves
to those dead heroes and .erve as an
inspiration to us who are enjoying the
peace and prosperity which is the fruit
of their labors and suffering.
The generous use of flowers In the
decoration of soldiers' graves is a
beautiful and appropriate tribute to
those who have won so large a place
in the esteem and affection of the
American people. I would suggettt as
a fitting observance of the day the
wearing of a flower by each citizen in
token of his personal participation in
the sentiment and ceremonies of the

fell
turned on here last December. It ia
one of the most complete pumping and
filter plants ia the country of its size.
The raw water is taken through a 11
inch main extending 400 feet into tbe
river on the north side of the island.
A pump at the river bank forces it
into the filter and pumping plant.
Here it is treated with alum and later
with hypo, and after passing through
sedimentation and sand filter basins,
goes into the clear water well in as
pure a state as it is possible to make
it. It is then pumped Into one of the
two tanks which supply pressure suf
ficient for ordinary uses. There are
two electrically driven pumps and an
emergency strain driven pump. Used
l:i series, the electric pumps give a
pressure cf 120 pounds in the mains
all over the island, while a steam fire
engine in addition is capable of raising
this to 100 pounds.
Tbe average daily amount of water
used on the island is 300,000 gallons,
the quantity being somewhat less in
winter and more la summer when
sprinkling is done.
In passing from one shop to another
the Rock -Islanders were shown the
corner between north wings of one of
the buildings where concrete telephone
poles are made. These are turned out
a few at a time to replace the wooden
poles as the latter decay. About a
hundred are now ready to be erected.
They cost 112 each, but are supposed
to be practically Indestructible.
Much Steel Stored.
In the steel storage room are great
racks piled with all kinds and shapos
of metal. Cars unload inside this
building. The material is in charge of
a storekeeper who Issues It upon order
from the various shops. Here are also
cutting machines which turn out the
bars and rods in the lengths most con
venient. The cutting is done by auto
matic saws running under a water
j bath, one man attending half a dozen
oi tnem. Metal other than steel la
also kept here.
w ith the other steel is material suf
ficient to make 15,000 Springfield rifles,
When the small arms shop was closed
a few months ago orders were received
to keep enough material to make this
number of guns. This material "alone
la worth 160,000 and It occupies only
a small apace in tbe building.
The jarty were shown through the
small arms plant, which is being oper
ated In only a few departments and
by but a few men. The processes were
described. One of tbe most Interest
ing wag that of rolling and tapering
gun barrels before they are bored.
Many ponderous forges used in the
manufacture of rifle parts now stand
idle. Most activity exists in the de
partment where repairs are made to
arms broken or worn in service. Many
of these are given new barrels. The
method of inspection after the work 1s
complete was demonstrated, the gun
being taken apart and put together
again with marvelous speed.
See Automatic RHle.
In this department was also shown
an automatic rifle such as is in use
among the marines now at Vera Cms.
This one is of French design. The
United States has no patents on these
weapons though it makes them, pay
ing a royalty for the privilege. The
rifles are set up on tripods which sup
port most of the 30 pounds weight.
One man fires and another feeds cart
ridges to them. They may be fired at
the rate of 400 shots a minute. They
are of the same calibre as the Spring
field rifle and have about the same
range. They are carried from place
to place on mules, each gun having
6.000 rounds of ammunition with it as
its regular supply. There Is an extra
barrel with each gun. Though the
barrels have radiators such as are
used on motorcycle motors, they get
hot quickly and then it Is necessary to
change and put on cool ones. Heavy
asbestos mittens are provided to make
the change with.
One man supervises all the tool
hardening and tempering at the arsen
al. This work is done in a small but
j thoroughly equipped room. Appliances
are there to do nearly every 'kind of
hardening and tempering. On one
wall are a set of pyrometers by which
it ii possible to accurately measure
the temperature of the furnaces at
any time. This is done through vary
ing resistance to electrical currents at
different temperatures.
See Museum Last.
The last place visited was the muse
um which is perhaps most interesting
or all. since in it are shown nearly all
the products manufactured at the ars
enal now and in the past, and along
side them are exhibited similar equip
ment used in foreign armies.

The last regular meeting of the Trin
ity Men's club for this season was
held last evening in the parish house.
After an inviting supper prepared by
the wives of the members had been
disposed of, the program for the even
ing waj carried out.
P. G. Linter opened the program
with an interesting and instructive
talk on Rock Island arsenal. Fifteen
years ago. repairing of army equip
ment was about all that was done here.
The Spanish-American war, however.
opened the eyes of congress as to
what could be done at the local plant.
Since that time new departments have
been opened, new machinery installed
and vast improvements made in every
department. Every article of the field
servl e is made with the exception of
the guns, which are made at the
Springfield arsenal. Of 600 field serv
ice articles 100 are made by private
concerns, although the ones made by
the rovernment are much superior in
workmanship and made much cheap
er. Mr. Linter also told of the high
rates charged by the armor plate con-.
COl S:S.
Lose Appropriation.
The local arms plant is now a thing
or the past. W hen the last appropria
tion for the manufacture of small arms
was made the entire amount. $600,000
went to the Springfield arsenal where
practically all of the smail aims are
nade. A committee from the local
arsenal prevailed upon the congress
men in the middle west to .make a
fight for half of this appropriation to
keep the local armory going. How.
ev-r. politics played a large part In the
question, and they were unsuccessful.
In t'is connection the speaker paid a
tribute to the late Congressman Pep
per and Clyde II. Tavenner for their
fight for the local arsenal.
All of the saddles and other leather
parts and ail equipment for the soldier.
such as knives, forks, canteens, etc.,
for tbe entire U. S. army, militia and j
reserves are made at the local plant.
The new canteen is made of aluminum
in the shape of a flask and is greatly
superior to the old style, and much
more sanitary.
In touching on the Taylor system re
cently partly installed here, Mr. Linter
said that as it now' stanus It is not
detrimental to the workmen, and that
they are satisfied. The obnoxious feat
ure of the system, such as timing the
workman has been done away with.
Mr. Linter was followed by W. L.
Ogden, who spake on the Modern
Woodmen. The society was first or
ganized in January, 18S3, and now has
a beneficial membership of 924,432 and
a social membership of 15,584. The
death claims paid in 1913 were $11,-
966,337. Mr. Ogdea told of the sana
torium in Colorado and of the work ac
complished there for the members. W.
J. Bryan, now secretary of state, made
the address at the laying of the corner
stone for the first office building here
in 1S98. Mr. Ogden also told of the
work of getting out the official paper
of the order, and how the Woodmen
contributed over 40 per cent of the
local postoffice receipts.
He also paid tribute to Major Hawes
for the great work he has done for tha
society.
Tells of Waterworks.
R. W. Sharpe. city chemist, gave an
interesting talk on the city's water
works. F. W. Jones read a paper on
the life of John P. Hodges, the oldest
member of the parish, paying tribute
to his long and useful career. C. II.
Castetter closed the program with an
address on "Our Boys'' and suggested
the organization of a boys' club. This
matter was referred to a committee,
which will lay plans for such an or
ganisation.
At the business session of the club
it was decided to hold a picnic at Long
View park sometime during the sum
mer, to which the wives and sweet
hearts of the members will be invited
The plans for this outing were referred
to the entertainment committee. A. J.
Lindstrom presided at the meeting,

L. C. PFOH GROCERY
Phone, R. I. 1729. 1400 3rd Ave.
A brawl in the rear of the saloon
conducted by Emile Van Den Hende,
2211 Third avenue,, resulted in the ar
rest last evening of the proprietor of
the place, C. H. Boyd. G. Hamilton,
W. A. Reid, Cammile Wiley, and John
Smith.
Boyd sustained a badly bruised and
cut face. Included in his injuries was
a black eye, and his appearance this
morning gave the impression that he
had been the butt . of the entire on
slaught. The story gleaned from the testi
mony in the court was to the effect
that Reid and Boyd met Hamilton yes
terday afternoon, visited several thirst
parlors on Third avenue, and ended
their trip at the Van Den Hende sa
loon. According to Hamilton. Boyd
became too noisy and boisterous with
the result that he and his pals were
ejected from the saloon.
He stated to Police Magistrate Smit'a
that he was too drunk to remember
who hit him. At any rate, when the
fistic battle had ended Smith led him
away from the yard.
The police were called and Detective
Tom Cox end Patrolmen Ginnane,
Holzhammer, Sullivan and Gruby mad
the 'arrests.
Boyd was dismissed on payme-it of
the costs. Van Den Hende paid $5
and costs. "Wiley $1 and costs, and
Reid the costs.
O. J. Johnson and F. O. Williams, ar
rested by Officer Kell on a charge of
disorderly conduct, were dismissed on
payment of the costs. Ira Slater,
charged by Officer Ginnane with hav-
ing been disorderly, was fined $25 and
costs, in default of whio'.i he was sen
tenced to the county jail for five days
