For a Great Curve.

The plan which looks the most feas-
ible to the surveying engineers at the
present time, is one, which when the
trackage is changed, will bring the
road into the union station on giant
curve. Those familiar with the pres
ent track situation, know that the
road makes curve at the first lock,
into Water street and for distance Of
five. or six hundred yards, a distance
of almost half a mile, continues to
the station This curve will be a
continuous one and is probably the
best plan under consideration at the
present time.
AS mentioned before in these col
umns, the elevation of the tracks will
place the road bed on the shelf which
encircles the bluff on which the city
is built, about half way. up. The
foreman of the surveying party stated
this morning that the elevation would
not be abrupt but gradual and for this
reason, the large curve would become
necessary.
The surveyors have placed their
stakes. probably a distance of sixty
feet on the river side of the present
track location. In a number of places
it will become necessary to excavate
and grade which will be no small
proposition to handle but will become
easier as the work gets under way.
The surveys made today are merely
preliminary but will serve to give
those who are handling the work, an
idea of how to proceed.

Railroad and Water Power Engineers
Surveying for Track Change
Of the KLINE this
Morning
DEPOT TO REMAIN SAME
Starting About First Lock, Con-
tinuous Curve Would Bring
Trains of @ Into the
Union Station.

This morning, the first preliminary
survey work, to determine exactly the
road bed of the c., B. & @. railroad
after the overflow from the dam, has
been caused, was being made by the
engineers of the Keokuk and Hamil-
ton Water Power company and of the
@.
Since the announcement of the
building of the dam and long before
many have said, that the @ tracks
would have to be moved to the upper
part of the city and the depot would
be moved uptown, necessitating
the change of other roads which
are part of the union depot COM
pany. This idea, however, is at once
dispelled by the plans of the engi-
neers which show that with forty
foot elevation, the tracks of the c.,
B. & Q.'s main line, can be raised with
practically little expense and in a
position that is perhaps much better
than that used at the present time, by
the road NJ

What He is Charged With.

At the present time there is but
one charge in Keokuk against the
hyponist. In it an information filed
in the superior court by Miss Kate
Van Dyke, who charges him with OBJ
tanning SIS under false pretenses. She
reports that he obtained this amount
of money from her with which he was
going to start restaurant and with
her as an equal partner. 1t is I'M
stood that he performed the same
trick in Burlington. Police of that
city sought to apprehend him at one
time and whether there will be
charges emanating from that place
is not known.

ACTION AGAINST
SUNDAY THEATRE
Announced Today That Within Next
Twenty-Four Hours Mayor Of
Will Receive Request to
Close Them.
MINISTERS BACK OF IT
Ministerial Association Foremost ii
Movement, but Federation Of
Laymen Cooperate
With it.

Believing that hmdreds OF young
people of the city are attending moving
picture shows instead OF attending SER
vices in the various clutches, the
Ministerial Association will make a
formal request to Mayor Off within the
next twenty-four hours. that he close
all such theatres on Sabbath day.
Cooperating with the Ministerial as
ISOLATION in this movement is the
Federation of Laymen.
Already the mayor has received an
informal request, which came IN the
form of suggestion, following a re-
cent meeting of the Minister al asso.
citation. This was male seceral days
ago, but as the mayor has taken no
definite action, announcement was
made today ahat formal request
would be made
Ministers of Keokuk are not at all
reticent in admitting .nat this action
is being taken because of the alarming
drift of the young people away from
places of worship Sunday evening.
Older and more staid members OF the
congregations have come to thelr pas,
tors with complaints about children
being drawn to the moving piatlre
shows rather than accompanying their
parents to places Of worship.
If this law is enforced it viii be 4
great blow to moving picture shows of
the city, and there are three of them
now being conducted. In fact it can
be readily seen that these ten cent
theatres depend largely upon sreir

ing the first thing to bring the mat

What Law is.

Whether the law regarding breach
OF the Sabbath covers moving picture
shows does not seem clear to local at
tohneys and judges. Section 5040 of
the code, under the title, Breach of
Sabbath says: IF any person be
found on the first day of the week
engaged in carrying firearms, dancing,
etc, or in any manner disturbing a
worshiping Or private family, or in
any labor except that of necessity or
charity, he shall be fined not more
than SIS, nor less than ST.
