z CHICAGO, Jan. S-Emma Goldman,
leader of the anarchists, will address
four audiences in Chicago beginning
January 16, and persons who are
have requested the police to suppress
the dangerous gathering" Assistant
chief Schummer, after detailing men
to guard the meeting, said tonight:
while most of this talk about anar-
chists and their plots to blow up the
world is hot air, we are not going to
take any chances. The greatest dan
ger from such meetings is the noto-
riety they get in the public press. Some
poor half crazed fools mind becomes
super-heated not by the preachings OF
speakers but by the undue publicity
given them and national crime is
the result.
Personally, think the best way to
treat the Emma Goldmans and the
Ben Reitmans is to let them stew IN
their own grease. They will quickly
die out and when the lecture business
is no longer profitable, they will cease
to attract attention.
when Miss Goldman speaks here
she will be allowed her full constltu'
tional privileges of speech. But VII
have detectives in the hall to prevent
the incitation Of violence and prevent
disorder, and to arrest Offenders
Otherwise the anarchists may ram
their heads off
Miss Goldman will speak on Fran
Ncesco Ferrer", woman Suffrage,
Marriage and Love" and THE Drama
the most powerful diseminator o
Radicalism.' Her purpose, the printes

vindicate free speech.

People Failed to Lay In Supply Of

CHICAGO, Jan. S.-That the entire
west faces a serious coal famine Is
the belief here tonight. Inadequate
winter supplies have been drawn upon
until they are exhausted and experts
are now alarmed at the situation. Ad-
yances at from fifty cents to dollar
per ton is expected as the immediate
result of the famine. George H. Cush-
ing, an expert, in a report says:
The situation is the worst In
years. The scarcity has almost
reached the famine stage. Every big
manufacturer, railroad and steam
plant discounted the necessity Of lay
ing In an extensive supply of fuel
because of the mildness of the three
preceding winters. Unexpected cold
weather has exhausted coal SO rapidly
that not more than one-fourth of the
normal supply is on hand.
An almost desperate condition faces
/ the people in South Dakota towns west
! of the Missouri river, on the Milwau-
kee road, according to adyices from
/ Mitchell, S. d. tonight. Telephone
communication was had today with
eight towns with reference to the fuel
situation. At Oacoma there is no coal
I whatever, and the people are hauling
wood from the river to keep warm.
Chamberlain reports that its coal Is
i almost entirely gone Reliance. more
fortunate, has fuel to last month.
Il Belvidere has seventy-five tons on
hand. Draper is fast running short,
with no more in sight. Murde has
4 fuel to last three or four days, but
no prospects for more Vivian almost
1 out, while at Kennebec there is good
Il supply.
] Dakota Wesleyan university at
Mitchell was on the verge Of closing
J, today on account of coal shortage, but
| two cars came in during the after
!; noon The Milwaukee company is now
able to handle little more coal each
| day. The thermometer registered II
, degrees below zero throughout South
Dakota early today.
Nebraska In Danger.
OMAHA, Neb., Jan. S-Conditions
tonight show that Nebraska is in dan.
ger of coal famine. In the western
part of the state there is practically
no coal of any kind Appeals have
been made to Omaha for help, but the
Omaha dealers will not sell.
The railroads say they are doing the
best they can to relieve the situation,
: but no coal is moving. Orders have
been issued, however to give coal
trains the right of way.
At South Omaha, where the big
packing houses are located, there is
scarcity of steam coal amounting
to famine Unless coal comes in
before Monday, two of the packing
houses say they will have to shut
down. Armour's, and at least one
other packing house, have a reserve
supply of steam coal and are hiding ".
The other packers are offering bo-
muses. for steam coal, but cannot buy
it, The packers employ large per
cent of the residents of South Oma-
ha. They would all be thrown out Of
work should the packing houses close.

said: Nov that the people are
aroused to the devltries of the sys-
tenn by which, during forty years, less
than 1000 men have become possessed
of more than three-quarters of all the
wealth of the whole nation, three
things are essential to the preserva-
tion of the systems structure.
Observation-Disclosures must have the
privilege of resorting to long delays
in meeting any action brought against
them for violation of the interstate
laws.
Second-Railroads must have the
privilege of increasing rates without
being stopped by the law until the
/ final decision has been delayed to the
limit OF time-the limit OF time being
the firing out of those protesting In
jured ones-the people.
"Third-The courls having decided
that monopoly trusts must go and the
supreme court being on the point o
giving the final shove to their going
the monopoly trusts must have thu
\ anti-trust laws changed to allow 'goot
& trusts to continue their deviltries
which means that all trusts would b.
good trusts.
s'If the system cannot be assured
of these three conditions their struc

"The president emphatically say
the SYSTEMS privilege of firing ou
the protesting wronged ones must b
done away with, and he says, Wit

WILL COMPLETE GREAT DAM
WITHIN THIRTY MONTHS

work must start at once
on the building of the DAM With |
the cold weather, it will be impossible
to force the work much until spring |
comes, but when the days become /
mild and the river is free from ice, !
hundreds of men will be put to work
with the latest improved machinery,
to build the dam.
It will be piece of work, the like
of which was never seen in this ,icin-
ity. The work is to cost over $14,000,-
900, and when it is taken into consid-
Grafton that the government canal cost
about one half of that sum, it can be
seen what a gigantic undertaking 1t
is.
The work will start from the Illinois
side and be- pushed forward across
the river toward the Iowa shore. ihe
dam will begin at the OHara proper
ty in Illinois. which was sold to Mr.
Cooper Saturday, for $1,000 and with
in a few days tsere will be large
government franchise specifies that
actual construction worE must be un-
der way in February.
There is no definite date set for the
completion of the work, but it will be
pushed forward as rapidly as possible.
Contracts have already been let for
power to be furnished ST. Louis and
as there will be no income from the
project until electrical power can be
transmitted and the project calls for
an enormous investment of capital, 1t
il obvious that the work will be hur-
ried to completion as fast as possible.
! Thirty months is estimated as the
! length of time necessary to complete
| the dam.
! While it is being constructed, this
locality will be busy place and Keo-
| kuk and Hamilton will benefit from
the great pay roll which will be car.
ried by the promoters.
Orders have been placed with the
Streeter Lumber Co., of Hamilton te
deliver lumber Tuesday for the ware
nouse, to be built on the O'Hara prop
erty.
Navigation Interested.
Navigation is much interested in the
building of the power dam for the rea
4 son that 1t does away with the cana
and proves of great benefit to the
4 steamboat interests.
At the present time there seems tt
be an awakening all along the Missis
,ppi river and other streams, for
revival of the good old steamboa
days. and the building Of the waite,
power dam, comes as great boos
70 the rivermens interests.
One of the finest stretches alon:
the upper Mississippi will be formed
by the back water pool and but on
lock will be required for the passs g
of boats.
Steamers will save time when th
dam is built.
The government will have super
vision of the erection of the dam an
lock and will also maintain dry doc
as at present The location of tn
dry dock will be at the Iowa end Q
the dam, thus bringing it nearer t
Keokuk than at present.

upper Mississippi River improvement
association, heard the good news an

creased and prospects looked more
bright Had the announcement been
made that Mr.. Cooper had failed to
finance the great project, it would
have been hard blow to Keokuk,

The welcome news came at the noon
hour and was made public by means
of an extra edition of The Gate City
and the ringing of the fire bells,
which was turned up to high pitch

tories. With the street filed with peo-

During the morning The Gate City
\ received dispatch from its st. Louis
representative who has been ION the

finitely announced there that Mr.. Coop
ter had financed the project This dis
patch was shown to Mr.. Cooper, wht
confessed that he had been success

and thus assured the building Of tht
dam. Possibly he would have volun
tarilly given out the glad news withir
a few days had not he been corneret
and accused of being successful, bu
through the energy and hustle of Th'
