Thomas Gives information.
Major Meigs' boat, the Hornet"
which was shipped to Des Moines
from Keolluk last week, arrived in the
Capital City and the trip begun last
night. The party, aside from Major
Meigs. comprises: Engineers George
Hartel and T. T. Meyling Of Keokuk
and Howard Young of Des Moines.
Before leaving Des Moines Major
Meigs had the following to say re-
garding the surveying trip and credits
Captain E. H. Thomas of the South
Ottumwa postoff1ce with having fur
nished him most of his data for the
trip:
Mississippi river steamboats, have
gone up the Des Moines river as far
as Fort Dodge" continued Colonel
Meigs. Capt. E. H. Thomas of Ottum-
wa, an old river. man who has given
me much valuable information, told
me recently that he had known of
forty boats to be on the Des Moines
river at one time
During the civil war some eastern
capitalists came to Iowa and built
dams and locks in the Des Moines
river between Keokuk and Ottumwa.
The locks We're about ten or twelve
miles apart and at that time the lar
gest boats on the Mississippi came up
to Ottumwa. The company improved
the river, sold the surrounding land
and then let the dams fall to pieces.
There is more water nthe river
now than ever before, partly due to
the new systems of drainage along the
valley The Des Moines river has a
slope of foot and half to the mile,
while the Mississippi has but four
inches. The result is that the current
IS unusually swift and naturally boats
come up very much slower than they
go down."
Colonel Meigs says he has never
travelled on the Des Moines river and
much of the information he possesses
has been gained from former river
captains and from histories.
Il believe he added, "that the Des
-''oiiiSo 10 IlOIe nearly udV1SdDl6 now
than it ever has been. OF course, a
great deal Of work on the channel
Will have to be done before big boats
can travel the stream.
Just below Ottumwa the river is
full of huge boulders. In the old days
the steamboats, simply drifted over
them. If boat ran on top Of one Of
the boulders it either slid on over or
turned around and slid off backwards.
In those days dynamite was not in ex-
lstence and it would be a simple mat
ter now to remove the boulders."
Colonel Meigs and his party have
no provisions for sleeping and they
will not start until they have mapped
out the trip, so that they may arrive
at town each evening. They expect
to travel about forty,o or fifty miles
day.
The engineers will take SURVEYS
and measurements on the trip. get the
depth and width OF the river at diff
ferent points and report their findings
to the officials at Washington. Il

BATONYI DIVORCE
SUIT COMMENCED.
Second Trial of Case Against Noted
Whip Follows One Victory for
Defendant.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1S.-The second
trial of Mrs. Frances Burke-Roche Ba-
tonyi's divorce suit against Aurel Ba-
tonyi, the noted whip, began today. In
outlining her case, Mrs. Batonyi's attor-
ney told the jury that two of the ques-
tions to be decided related to the de-
PENDANTS alleged unfaithfulness.
Batonyi was ON hand when the case
was called. but his wife had not ap-
peared by the time a jury was obtained.
Mrs. Batonyi's first suit was discontin-
ued last June when her attorney walked
out of court after failing to get a delay
to secure an important witness. The
homseman pressed his counter suit for
a separation and won it, but his victory
did not interfere with the present ac-
ton.
-Four women were mentioned in
Mrs. Batonyi's complaint, but her coun-
sci announced today that the charges
involving two of them may be with
drawn, The first witness was Eugene
Arcourt. chauffeur He said that on
March f. 1908, he drove Batonyi and a
woman. whom he did not name, in his
taxicab as far north as 195th street,
and then returned. This taxicab trip
is the basis of one of Mrs. Batonyi's
charges. Arcourt said that he did not
see anything wrong in the actions of
the defendant or his companion that
night.
