This Will Probably be One of the
Subjects Taken up This Even
ing After Disposal Of
Business.
WOULD IMPROVE THINGS
Park Could be Built on the Land Just
Below West End Pier Of
Bridge and Maybe
Club House.


Aside from the important business
which will be brought before the spec
ial meeting of the Keokuk Motor
Boat club this evening, discussion of
the plan of giving that part of the
levee on which a lumber of boat
houses are built, a thorough cleaning
up. will also be agitated before the
members of the club.
At meeting of the club last fall It
was decided to ask the council to
grant money for this purpose but
nothing definite in the way of cleaning
up Keokuk's river front and improv-
ing greatly the front yard of the city,
was decided on. If other plans and
business necessary for immediate at
tention are disposed of this evening in
time, the discussion of cleaning up
the river front will also be brought UP
and the members of the club given a
chance to give their opinions on the
subject.
To Build Park,
Should enough money be raised and
permission granted by the council
for the purpose. after the levee in the
Motor Boat house district has been
given thorough cleaning, which is
sadly needed, plans for. the building
Of pretty little park on the river
front could be made or rather in fact,
members of the Motor Boat dub have
thought and planned just how the
park would look for the past several
years but not enough concerted action
was put forth by those members Of
the club and city to think of the plan
for any great length of time.
Lately however, this has been differ
ert and members of the motor club
an the citizens in general have be-
gun to wake up to the fs ct that the
steamboat approach, harbor and gen
eral river front are what go long
way of making outsiders, like the
looks of a city. Keokuk has one of
the best locations along the Missis-
sippi from source to mouth for the
building of a fine boat club house and
park for the citizens in general on
the river front. Other cities along
the river have fine river fronts, not
all. but many of them and such an
Innovation would mean much for this
city.

Sent to SaIonica.

(By Bysantius Moschopoulous, staff
correspondent for the United Press.)
CONSTANTINOPLE, April Is
Abdul Hamid, the deposed sultan, has
been sent to Salonica under guard OF
the Young Turks. After dec'ding to
imprison Abdul in Tcheragan palace,
they changed their minds and sent
him to Salonica. Salonica is a great
stronghold of the Young Turks, and
it is believed Abdul will lave less
chance to engage in intrigues there
than in Tcheragan palace. Abdul
took eleven wives with him. They
were placed aboard train during the
night with such secrecy that their de-
parture was unknown until today. He
accepts his deposition peacefully, and
does not again intend to overpower
the Young Turks and stir up dissen-
tions and it is said he may be per-
mitsed to return to Constantinople
and become prisoner in Tcheragan.

H Abdul Is Feeble.

SALONICA, April 2S.-Abdul Hamid
arrived here this afternoon aboard a
special train from Constantinople. A
heavy guard attended him. The de-
posed ruler appeared feeble and brok-
en-hearted. His faithful eunichs had
to almost carry him from the train
to carriage waiting He was taken
to the residence of General Robilant
at Villalapini. General Robilant is
commandant at Gendarmerie. The Sa-
lonica air is very enervatirg and it is
believed the change will seriously af-
feet Adults health. The general opin-
ion is that this is what is hoped by
the new administration, and is a
source of constitutional anxiety An
attempt of the sultan to send out a
message was frustrated by the guards.
The only comment he made on the
reinforcement is that it is the will of
Allah.
