RIVER IMPROVEMENT.
COMMUNITIES EXPECTED TO DO
THEIR SHARE SAYS CON-
GRESHAM TAWNEY.
ALTON NEXT MEETING PLACE
Main Officers Reelected by Upper
Mississippi Observation-Disclosures

Aid in Waterways Work.


every state and every municipality
along the Mississippi river to show
it's appreciation of the recent apprO
priations made for river improvement
by providing proper terminals and
maintaining proper freight handling
facilities so that the river can be util
lied for transportation. This is the
statement of Congressman Tawney OF
Winona, chairman of the committee
on appropriations. Mr. Tawney gave
a short address before the convention
of the Upper Mississippi Improvement
association at it's closing session.
Congress was glad of the oppor
tunity to appropriate money for this
purpose of improving the rivers, but
it expects that the states and cities
will now do their part" said Mr.. Taw'
ney.
Thomas Wilkinson Of Burlington
Iowa, was reelected president of the
association; Lewis B. Boswell Of Quin'
cy, Illinois, secretary, and J. P. Eek
hart, treasurer, were both reelected
The following were named as vice
presidents of the association: J. G
Arneson, Saltwater, Mimi; Wendell A.
Anderson, La Crosse, Wis; w. A.
Meese, Moline, ILL.,; L. A. Hamell, Keo'
kuk, Iowa, and j. J. Martin, St. Louis
Mo-
Alton, ILL.,, was selected as the place
of meeting for next year. There was
no opposition to the selection.
Resolutions thanking Congressman
Tawney for his work in getting in
creased appropriations were passed.
The reservoir system of the upper
Mississippi was Endorsed and the con
vention asked not only that it be main
tanned but that it be enlarged.
Now that congress has appropriated
the money for a six-foot channel and
other extensive improvements in the
river, the convention went on record
as believing that it was incumbent on
municipalities and business organiza
tons to see that proper terminals and
landings were constructed and that
freight handling facilities were provid
ed. 1t also recommended that the
building of modern steel craft be en-
couraged.
The Upper Mississippi River I'm
provement association will continue
its membership in the National Rivers
and Harbors congress and will also
cooperate with all other kindred or
CARNATIONS in securing improvements
for the river. This intention was in
cluded in the text Of the resolution.
Minneapolis -four is the product
most demanded by the states of the
lower Mississippi valley, and for that
reason these states are willing to CO
operate in securing improvements in
waterways in the upper Mississippi
This is the opinion of Thomas H
Lovelace, secretary of the Lake to the
Gulf Deep Waterways association, who
addressed the convention in the morn
ing.

at the going scale was signed by
him on a typewriter and did not
contain his bona fide signature.
That this is probably true was
shown this week when the North
Coast started to put a crew of men
at work within the city. The men
were hired through the different
employment agencies at $1.75 per
day and had to pay $3.50 for the
job.
This is another sample of how a
railroad keeps a contract, if such
an agreement we're ever made. But
it is thought that Strahorn never
gave the promise, and for this rea-
son the bogus agreement was circu.
lated among the union men to fool
them.

HOW STRAH0RN LOVED
The WORKING PEOPLE

Again, It is another illustration
how the people are fooled when
some organization or interest
wants something at the hands Of
the people.
During the summer, when the
franchises of the North Coast and
the Milwaukee were pending, R. e.
Strahorn, president of the latter
road, gave written promise-at
least it was made to so appear at
the time-in which he said that he
would employ union labor on the
work within the city and pay the
scale.
1t now develops that Strahorn
gave no such promise, but that the
agreement to employ union labor

FORGOT MISSIONARY DIGNITY

Jesse Sewell, a colored mission
worker, was so anxious that his
mission at 612 Front avenue,

he took considerable of the furni-

mission properly. When his wife
objected, Sewell forgot his mis-

Quence he landed in cell at the

Amerlean Murder II london.

British and American police are search
ing for Or. Hawley H. Crippen, an
American physician located in London,
wanted for the murder OF his wife, form
erly an actress known as Belle Elmore.
The woman disappeared last February.
DR.. Crippen gave out that she had left
for California and had later died there,
but this turned out to be false. Then,
when ths police took it up, he told them
there bad been q quarrel and his wife had
left him. At this stage, few days ago,
be also disappeared, and with him pre-
sumably went Ethel Clara Ieneve, a
French girl who was his stenographer,
and to whom he claimed to have been
married after the disappearance Of his
wife, The police searched his London
home and buried in clay in the cellar,
mixed with quieklime to hasten dissoiu-
tion, were the remains of a woman, sup
posed to be the real Mrs. Crippen. The
body had been dissected and the bones
removed, so that Identification was not
easy. The case is much like that of
Porter Charlton, the American, who also
killed and mutilated his American actress
wife in Italy recently. Il is probable
that on account OF the lack Of an extradi-
