to continue the good work which it
has been carrying on in Keokuk for
the past several months looking after
the city's welfare, in helping fallen
animals and children who would other
wise have been neglected.
Today request is made of the good
citizens of Keokuk to come to the aid

ciety the organization can continue
its splendid work.
Following is letter addressed to
the citizens by the society and which
should be read by every one VINO is in
clined to be kind hearted and with
humanitarian instinct
The attention of the community is
urgently called to the fact that the
Keokuk Humane Society needs the
support of every one in THO city who
believes in protecting and caring for
dumb animals and little children who
are the subjects OF abuse or neglect
and who cannot protect themselves.
The Humane Society was started a

demand and it has been doing a fine
work-there is hardly a day passes
but brings its call to one Of the officers
to relieve the distress of some poor

way. These calls are always met
promptly and attended to thoroughly.
! The Humane officer, John Liendecker,
! has been and is now accessible to all
who have complaints to make and will
see that all cases are investigated and
remedied if possible.
The cost of this work is small but it
takes some money and the society
needs funds right away-No one is
asked for any large subscription-one
dollar being the membership fee.
There should he several hundred peo-
pie in this city with humanitarian in
stincts who will volunteer to take
these memberships. If they do not dc

The Several Railroads and Boat Lines
Have Arranged With the
Street Fair Com
mittee.
TO HANDLE THE CROWDS
Lighting Can Also be Arranged
For It is Thought if Neces-
sary Equipment is
Secured.

On Friday evening in the CONNER
cial club rooms, meeting of the
street fair directors and committees
was held. Reports of the transporta-
ton, soliciting, lighting and various
other committees were heard. There
is a deficiency in the funds gathered to
date by the finance committee and it
was plainly shown that more money
must be raised to give first class
celebration this year. However a
street fair will be held though ex-
penses must be reduced one way or
another and a way to do this Is to
reduce the number of bands which
we're to furnish music during that
week and employ only the two local
bands, the Fiftieth Iowa band and the
Water Power band. The large band
carried by the Parker Carnival COM
pany would also help matters out
greatly.

WOMAN As PILOT
AT BALLOON MEET
Sails Away from st. Cloud in
Strong Breeze-Goes Too
Fast for Auto Chase.

PARIS, June 1.-THE fair sex was in
full possession of the grounds of the
Aero Club. in st. Cloud, yesterday
afternoon for the inaugural fete Of the
Stella Women's Aero Club.
There were six balloons, each one
decorated with flowers, solidly attached
to bags of ballast. The first ascension
was a delicate operation. The huge gas
bag was caught at intervals in squalls
and carried hither and thither, despite
the efforts of a group of helpers.
Mime. Surcouf. who has obtained a
pilots license, was in charge and had
Nine. Airault and Mile. Tissot with her.
Taking advantage of a temporary calm,
'lachez tout was ordered and, to the
manifest relief of the women, the bal
loon shot into the air in graceful style
to the accompaniment of a march
played by a military band. The next
five ascensions were equally difficult.
The wind carried the balloons at q
rapid rate in ,southwesterly direction,
probably causing them to pass over
Fontainebleau and Orleans toward Bor-
deaux. An automobile pursuit was in
tended as part of the program, but in
view of the speed of the balloons 1t
would be impossible for even the fast
machines to overtake Them 3

ARCHBISHOP TELLS POPE
OF BASEBALL GAME.
Farley Tells of Pitching First
Ball in Match.

ROME, June 17.-Archbishop Farley,
of New York, the Right Rev. Michael
J.. Hoban, bishop of Scranton, and
Bishop Maurice F. Burke. of st.
Joseph, Mo, were received in private
audience by the Pope yesterday.
Archbishop Farley's audience lasted
for half an hour. The Pope said to the
archbishop: II have been told that
yesterday you went out to Castcl
Gandolfo and played baseball The
archbishop replied: Yes, your holi-
ness, I pitched the first ball. 1t was
the first game to be played at Castel
Gandolfo, and I wanted it to be opened
by one Of the Oldest of the alumni"
The Pope then wanted to know how
Mgr. Kennedy had played, saying that
as rector of the American College he
was fatherly, but firm.
The conversation Their turned on
the generosity of the American people
to the Messina earthquake sufferers,
and the pontiff told of the provisions
made to help them.
Archbishop Farley intimated that
having this year presented his report
for seven years administration of his
archdiocese he would not come to
Rome next year, when his regular
visit was due. The Pope objected to
this arrangement, saying that he en-
joyed personal intercourse with Arch
bishop Farley too much to let him off.
Furthermore" he added, you must
come, because New York is getting as
near Rome Is is Naples"

CHINA MAY YIELD
TO us. DEMANDS
German Bankers Insist that
Loan Stand as Now
Made Up.

PEkIN. June 17.-Following a several
hours conference yesterday the mana
gers of the German, English and French
banks cabled at length to their Euro
pean principals urging that immediate
arrangements be mode for participation
by Americans In the railroad loan.
Fears are freely expressed that unless
Americans r promptlyt admitted the
whole deal will fall through.
German bankers are representing to
the Chinese hat for them to break
their agreement under American infiu-
ence would demonstrate China's weak
ness, furnishing Japan with a warrant
to force China to break other agree
ments. The Germans are particularly
insistent that this agreement, which
necessarily is tentative pending the
thrones approval, be regarded as valid
and binding upon China.
The American syndicate, which de-
sires to participate in the loan is COM
posed of the following New York banks.
National City Bank, the First National
Bank, Kuhne, Loeb & Co., and ]. P.
Morgan & Co. 1t Is said the syndicate
will claim the right to choose its own
engineers and arrange, If possible, for
American equipment concerns to have
an opportunity of furnishing their share
of the material for the Hankow-
Szechuan road.
