Colonel w. B. McCord says that the
statement that President Johnson started

1910, made a stage coach trip to st. Louis
Colonel McCord was boy 10 years Old,
on his fathers farm In eastern Illinois, not
far from Paris, and he remembers when
the, president came through the country,
and that .he travelled in al stage coach with
very few attendants: The colonel says

see the president go by. . "a. Va

bowed from the window Of the coach;
which seemed to him like very gracious
thing for the president of the United
States. to do to an old farmer and his boy.
His father was an ardent Van Buren, mani

RAILROAD RUMBLEs
Thought to Be "Hot Air"

Special to The Journal. s':s -@ - !,
Iowa Falls, Iowa, April 1.-The report
appearing in a Des Moines evening daily
to the effect that A. B. Stickney of the
Chicago Great Western was negotiating
for the purchase of the Des Moines Short
Line with a view to building an extension
and using the link as new short cut out
between st. Paul and Kansas City, is
received with much amusement here, as it
is regarded as hot air story without the
slightest foundation. The officials Of the
Des Moines Short Line, when shown the
article, stated e1nphatically that there was
not word Of truth in the story as no
representative of the Great Western had
preached the subject alluded to-.
The road 50 much sought by other lines
may maintain it's independence and be
operated as such by the present manage
ment as it is believed the property can
be made a paying one with the excellent
trunk line connections at Iowa Falls, Nc
Callsburg, Nevada, Cambridge and Des
Moines. - - = =

i TWO CRIMINAL COURTS
The Plan Necessity for the April
Term-criminal Cases : :.
; Piling Up.

= The plan of having two judges of the
district court assigned tt, try criminal
cases during the coming term Of court as
suggested a few days ago, is meeting with
much favor among court officials. The
rule has been to have one judge try Grim.
inal cases; but now the Importance and
number of cases seems to warrant q
change for the term at least.
Criminal business is piling up Ion JUS
so fast that one judge cannot take care
of it this term said Court Clerk c.: N.
Dickey this morning. 1.-THE trial of the
important cases which are docketed for
the April term will consume so much of
the time that the Jail cases will have to
be left out and the prisoners kept in Jail
through the: summer or more than one
judge will have to be assigned to that
branch Of the work.
- The idea Of having two judges regu-
lar1y assigned for criminal trials is a
very: good fone. If it is adopted as be-
lieVe it should be, we would set the civil
cases so as to have four or4f five on each
day instead Of six as heretofore This
would make a better proportion The
calendar is heavy for the April term and
at best the courts will have to work UP
to July 1.

JOIN THE Y ACH1 CLUB
Oarsmen Will Work Hand in Hand
With Sailors in Calhoun
Organization.
Two Sites Are Under Discussion for
Clubhouse Which Will Be
Erected.

Minneapolis oarsnen, who have been for
some time agttating the formation of "a
rowing club, have definitely decided to join
hands with the Calhoun Tacht club, and
work with The sailors under the name of
the old organization. Officers will be
elected by the club at a meeting to be held
Tuesday night at 8 o'clock at sBerry's hall,
Forty-second street and Queen avenue.
Definite action will also be taken at
Tuesdays meeting upon site for new
club house, work upon which will begin at
an early date. Two propositions have
been laid before the members Of the club
One Is to build at the intersection Of
Thirty fourth street and Calhoun boule-
ward; the other, to construct a house upon
pilings, on the sandbar which lies about
opposite Thirty-fourth street. Advocates
of the second site urge that there will be
no difficulty in building over the sand
bar since the park board only claims rights
ninety feet from shore. A floating dock
can be constructed for the shells OF the
oarsmen, and clubhouse situated at this
ponit will be splendid stand for the
judges in either rowing or pacht races
Part of the lower floor Of the house can
be used for, storing shells and the rest will
be occupied by a kitchen and lunchroom
The upper floor will be used for q ball
room. r.. .... .... y. ., ,... - :., ) !
The club intends to purchase the old
shells of the Lurline club, now the prop
erty Of the Mnikahda Club These in
clnde about twenty boats, two gigs, four
four cared shells, and a number of pair
ored and single shells. Interest in rowing
has experienced a great revival and Carl
Sturck and Walter GODDARD, who have APP
piled for membership in: the club, have
already bought two ..of. tie old Lurline
shells. -: - 80. -: 49, ~ go ~
About thirty oarsmen have applied or
will apply for membership in the Calhoun
club, and with this impetus, both yachting
and rowing at Calhoun are expected to
experience a boom this. summer.

and was struck across the eyes, Williams
could have been prosecuted on very
serious charge. But as the st. Paul judge
said he would require Williams to give q
