Great Boat Speedway.

The prospect of a thirty mile lake
of still water above the dam seems
to interest Quincy about as much as
anything else, especially because that
city is headquarters of the Central
States Association, the officers of
which decide where the regattas ev-
cry year shall be held; also because
Quincy has motor boat club, and
many motor boat enthusiasts. In
future years it would not be difficult
to influence officers to turn their at
tention 10 this stretch on the river as
a place to holding these big events.
The Herald says.
Motor boat and rowing organiza-
lions each year have to tackle the
same problem of where to hold the
next regattas At the present time
the Central States Amateur Associa-
lions of officers are worrying about
the 1910 meet. The North Side club
has asked that it be held here, but
none of the other nine clubs have
made bid or let out a peep that
they would care for it. The principal
reason for this seeming hesitancy is
the lack of the right kind of racing
course. Where can be found body
of water, long enough, wide enough
deep enough, still enough for events
/ of this kind?
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1910-01-20

would develop 100000 horsepower OF
energy, which, being produced close |
to the City of ST Louis, would meet a
ready market. The dam also would
supply depth of water of from 80 to
40 feet in the harbor Of st. Louis and
make possible the installation OF
vertical docks, such as are used in
lake ports instead of the floating
wharfboats, which are now rendered
necessary by the shallowness of the
water close to shore.
THE dam as Commerce, Mo-. would
not find as ready market for the
power it would develop, but as the
district settles up the market for the
power would improve / do not believe
that with the present price of copper
the electric energy developed at Com
merce could be transmitted to st.
Louis with profit. I make this state
ment in spite of the fact that pro-
ject has made considerable Roadway
| for transmitting electrical energy by
wire from Keokuk to st. Louis
worked on that Keol1uk project in its
inception and advised against any at
| tempt to transmit current to St.
Louis as impracticable.
THE installation of these two dams
would help to clear UP the fate of the
stretch of river from st. Louis to
Cairo. The dams would ultimately
develop about 100000 horsepower, and
in the meantime would deepen the
channel over the stretch mentioned"
Message Will Not Hurt.
Mr.. Cooley declared the message of
President Taft would have no adverse
effect on the waterway project.
THE message of President Taft will
not harm the movement, principally
/ because the message shows a deplor-
able lack of knowledge on the sub
tject," said Mr.. Cooley yesterday. In
i the message the president favors the
! project which was devised by the
/ Window committee back in 1877. The
| Committee on Rivers and Harbors has
studied the question more closely and

YOUNG D'JARNFTT WAS ACQUITTED Fourteel-Year- Old Boy at Rison Acquitted by
 Jury.
WAS ABLY DEFENDED
Case Attracted Considerable Attention on Account of Life History
 of the Boy.

Felix DeJarnett, the fourteen-year- Old boy who was arrested at Rison. Cleveland county, a short time ago on charge of burglary and grand lar ceny, was discharged by the court yesterday after the jury had returned verdict of not guilty
 On account of the tender age of the lad, the fact that lie had been depriv- ed Of 6 mothers care and teaching almost from his infancy, by reason Of being kidnaped at a tender age and reared by reckless and perhaps a vicious father, coupled with the inter- est taken in him by Mrs. Stanfield, friend to his mother, public interest had been aroused to high pitch and more than ordinary interest was felt about the outcome of the trial
 The story of Mrs. stanfield finding the lad in jail is still fresh in the minds of the people; the resemblance of his mother when a girl; how the correspondence was at once started between her and the boy S mother; the identification by the scar; the meeting of the mother and son, and the story of the robbery, the arrest of the boy and the escape of the man who was with him at the time of the robbery.
 His mother was with him through out the trial and he was ably defended by MT. Geo. T. Bryan of Rison, T. Havis Nixon, of this city. and c. s. Marcelli, of Memphis, Tenn.
 At the time the lad was arrested he was going under the name of Ed win Holman which he had been taught was his own name.
 Thus ends another chapter in life The lad accompanied his mother to her home in Memphis, where he will begin the first lessons of new life and learn something of the influences of mothers love.

NEW QUESTION
 FOR CONGRESS- New Census May Precip: tate Political Controyersy
 of Vital Interest.
NO CHANGE IN HOUSE
Present Ratio Is l94,DOD Which Nav Be Changed to 225,OOO for
 Each Member.

Chicago, July 16.-A special from , Washington says:
 The new census promises to precipi- tate political and sectional contto- versy of vital interest to the people Passed upon the population it reports Congress will have to determine Haether the house of representatives, shall be numerically enlarged which will make the body more unwieiIy than it is now, or whether the aggre- gfte of persons entitled to a member will mean that the house will retain ts present membership, and may be possibly reduced. Some states, if the latter plan is adopted, will lose rep rcsentation in congress through a diminution of population during the last ten years, while others are cer- tain of an increase, due to growth in the number of inhabitants. The present ratio of apportionment is one member for every 194 900 inhabi- tants The present house consists of 391 members.
 If congress were to adopt for the present census the ratio of apportiOn- ment observed in 1900, the house of representatives would be increased by 6S members This would bring the to- tad membership up to 460. It is not expected, however. that this ratio will be maintained.
 It is expected that when the appor- tionment bill is considered the number of the members of the house will be fixed at one for every 225,00O. This would mean that the house would re- main practically at it's present fig ures
 A hard fight undoubtedly will bs made against the adoption of such a large ratio, especially by sparsely settled portions of the country. The more thickly settled states probably will raise no objection to a proposi- tipn of this kind, and indeed would be inclined to favor it, since 1t would insure relatively larger representa- tion

 The story of the tragedy as told by

It is stated that yesterday afternoon about 4 ,p' clock; the husband of the unfortun- hte woman came to the rooming house.

A SUGGESTION
 WORTH CONSIDERING

How about those band concerts? Are we going to have them? It would be an easy matter if anyone will take the task himself to look after it. We would suggest that arrangements be made to hold band concerts at Forest Park three nights out of each week. say Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sun days, and on these nights the owners of the park could open the old places of amusement and thus add other at- fractions to the band concerts. NO doubt the Citizens Light & Transit Company would do liberal part to- wards this. and we have the assurance of several citizens that they will as- sist with cash contributions. Wno will take the initiative step?

club house at a point conveniently
near Palisade Junction were consid-

at nominal price of a plot of land
in Edgewater Heights, was not ac-

Decoration Day. in spite Of its
wayward moods, brought many visi-

the Merry Go-Round Club, with their
friends, enjoyed an outing in the
woods near Fort Lee. In accordance
with the old-established custom, the
plots in Edgewater cemetery were
beautifully decorated by the survlv-
ing owners.
The Decoration Sunday sermon at
Trinity Episcopal church was preach
ed by Mr.. Leicester Lewis of the
General Theological Seminary. In it
the young preacher feeling exorted
his hearers to observe the coming
holiday fttingly, and not to neglect
the opportunity to bring back to re-
membrance, at least the forms and
ways of the vanished ones: to make
it day of mental and spiritual COM
munion, and not wholly one of tangi-
bic and audible companionship.
In nature, the decoration idea was
carried out with the usual splendor,

showing itself spread through the
trees in wealth of brilliant green
foliage, and out of the yellow mud,
in fair covering of multi-formed
weeds.

FOR BIG CELEBRATION

Washington, May 11.-President Taft
who entertained the California commit
tee that is booming a Panama canal
exposition at dinner at the White House
tonight, declared he could see no reason
why a double celebration of the COM
pletion of the Panama canal should
not be held in this country in 1915, "A
celebration at San Francisco on the
Pacific coast and a celebration at some
other designated point on the Atlantic
coast" said he.
The President authorized the expo
sition committee to make public his
views expressed to them.
From present Indications" said the
President, 1.-The canal will be completed
by 1918; therefore the time for prepa-
ration is none too long, and Congress
should act at once In the selection of
the city or cities where such celebra-
tons should be held. fl fl
The California delegates cheered the
Presidents sentiments when he said II
Congress should decide but one cele-
bration be held, then "Unreservedly l
say San Francisco is the logical place
and should be chosen"
