NEGRO FELL
INTO SLOUGH
Hamilton Authorities Thought that
it Was a Case Of Suicide.

The Hamilton Press has the fol-
lowing to say of the negro who fell
into the slough. mention of which was
made in these columns recently:
What promised to be a case of sui
eide by drowning was unearthed by
Marshal Parsons last Saturday. but
the appearance of the real live article
spoiled the plot and another good
news item was lost to the world. Last
Saturday morning Mr.. Parsons found
coat vest and hat lodged in some
drift in the slough Just north of the
covered bridge. On the bank was a
lady's photograph neatly tied in a
daily paper dated the day previous.
An empty" also added to the mys-
terry, and altogether it looked like a
case of jumping in" In the coat
was number of letters. which shows
that the owner was negro by the
name of Adams and that he had at
some time or another made his home
in Keokuk, as well as many other
places. Messrs. Wilson and Tanner,
who have a fishing camp near there,
were set to work dragging for the
body, but In the meantime the marshal

TAFT PRESIDED AT
CABINET MEETING
BaIIinger and Wilson Present Their
Case to Cabinet, Concerning In
depreciation Of Land Laws.

WASHINGTON May Probably
for the first time since the civil war
the cabinet at a meeting today, lis
tened to discussion of serious diff
ference of opinion between two mem
bers. Ballinger and Wilson, who
have been at odds over the proper in
depreciation of the law concerning tue
withdrawals of the public lands, pre-
sented their cases. The cabinet was
practically court, with Taft presid-
ing. 1t was really trial of the Roose-
welt policy of conservation Ballinger,
in recent letter to Wilson, refusing
to make certain withdrawal of lands
required by forest service, which is
under the department of agriculture,
said he considered such withdrawals
extra-legal. He also charged other
things done by forest service unlawful
Wilson replied the withdrawals we're
proper but decided to leave the pres
ent matter to Taft for settlement.
Both Ballinger and Wilson were
armed with great documents of evil
uSUCe. HG Ddi liCuIdl pOllI d. lSSut
is whether ranger sites may be with
drawn from entry, in the forest SER
vice. Ballinger holds that the forestry
appropriation of 1907 prohibits addi
tions to the forest reserves in seven
northwestern states. where the range
sites are requested. Wilson, pre-
senting his case is said to have
argued that Ballnger's refusal to
withdraw the lands upon the request
of the department was at variance
| with the custom for years. He asked
an Interpretation of the law. Reply
ing to the subterfuge charge, Wilson
is said to have admitted that the
ranger sites were withdrawn during
the last administration and was a
prearranged plan agreed to by himself,
Garfield. and Roosevelt, to prevent
land grabbing. The president expects
Wickersham and other legal lights OF
4 the cabinet to file written opinion
on the controversy.

7elknap Post Desires That Sunday be
the Day For the Public OBJ
servance in This
City.
GOVERNOR WANTS s1sT
The Selection Of the Day Rests with
the People and They Can
Take Any One They
Desire.

Memorial day which is always on
tEe goth day of May, falls on Sunday
tnls year and for that reason there
VIII be public observance of the day
at different times in different places.
Some cities will celebrate on Sunday
While others will hold their exercises
on Saturday or Monday.
Inc governor recently issued proc.
lamation suggesting that Monday, May
81, be observed, but he did not set
that day officially. having no right to
do SO, merely suggesting that May 81
be observed.
keokuk has as yet taken no action
IN this matter, which will probably
be left to the mass meeting which
will be held some evening next week,
at which the plans will be made for
the usual observance of the day.
Belknap Post No. 515 of the G. A.
R. Is in favor of observing Sunday,
believing that it would be the proper
day and that If the public exercises
were held on that day, that the larg-
est crowd ever assembled at the Gem
ietefy would be out.
At the meeting of the post held on
Wednesday evening, the following res
olution was adopted:
The Resolution.
| Whereas congress has set the Goth
day of May as Memorial Day to be
observed in respect of the soldiers
who served their country that this
nation might live, therefore we do not
believe that anyone has the right to
substitute any other day, Sunday be-
ing the proper day. Therefore we
would respectfully ask his honor, the
mayor of Keokuk, to issue his proc
/ lamation that Sunday, May 30, be OBJ
served as dedicated by congress, as
i Memorial Day.
L. A. BERRYHILL, p. C
G. LOCK, j. v. G..
A copy of this resolution has been
sent to Mr.. Off and the post com
mander of Belknap post expects to be

further urge the setting apart of Sun
