The only incident to mar our trip was
about 10 O'Clock Sunday night. as we were
passing over the center of Morgan county,

Penn party. and on the three tickets he
secured nearly 5000 votes. He defeated
Lank, the regular democratic nominee, by
more than $500 votes and carried many
republican strongholds by big majOrities.
The fight against the republican organi-
zation was embittered because of the
stand taken by Mayor Reyburn and Di-
rector Clay in the early stages of the
recent trolley strike. The labor element
made this personal ISSUE and together
with the alleged apathy of the republican

KEEFE GONG ON JOURNEY.
Commissioner Tells of Trouble Over
Philadelphia Immigration Site

Commissioner General Keefe OF the i'm

Thursday for an extensive trip through
the northwest, along the Pacific coast
and the Mexican border, embracing Chi
cago, Seattle, Vancouver and other points
in connection with business of the immi-
grafton service.
Mr.. Keefe said today, referring to the
selection of a site for the immigrant
station at Philadelphia:
THE Department of Commerce and
Labor had been wrestling, figuratively.
with the old problem of fitting a number
shoe to number 10 foot Congress has
given US $25O.OOO for a station complete,
including site, buildings and furnishings
Desirable sites that have been offer
ed are held as high as $1,000 a front
foot. By the time we pay for the site
and build suitable wharf and pier
there will be nothing left for the build
ings.
Il think it is the purpose of Secretary
Nagel to get the bidders together and ex-
plain the situation to them. They can
then get together themselves and decide
what to do
Until some sort of decision is
reached the station at Philadelphia will
have to wait"

All were residents of New Orleans. The

stead she ran into a dock built especial
ly for skiffs and small craft. This small
wharf was pulled by the steamers ropes
entirely away from the main pier and
seventy people went into the lake in about
eight feet of water. The shrieks of those
precipitated into the water brought many

work of rescue already begun by the Of
ficers and crew of the Margaret. The
bodies were all taken to New Orleans
