Thanks for the Elks.
Asaph Buck moved that the thanks
Of the committee be extended to the

vote to writing, have it properly sign

Wills on the Hotel Situation.
Ira Wills spoke on the necessity for
larger hotel accommodations. The
present hotel was all right so far
as it's facilities went but they were
too abbreviated for the present needs
OF the city and would continue to fall
much below the requirements as the
city advanced. He thought one of the
first things the Industrial Association
should do would be to get larger ho-
tel accommodations and that promptly.
Mr. Wills remarks were endorsed
by the gentlemen present. Mr.. Coop
er said the people of this city had no
idea OF the number Of people that the
dam would bring to Keokuk and moth
ing would do so much good as a first
class hotel. He did not want an ex-
travagant one. but one suitable to ac-
copmodate the patronage and send
them away pleased. Nothing dampen.
ed enthusiasm SO much as insuff1c.
lent and inefficient hotel accommoda-
lions. His company appreciated this
fact and would be willing to subscribe
literally for stock in a new hotel.
This remark created enthusiasm. The
hotel project is an important one
and from the feeling manifest today
it promises to be solved in short
time Certainly there Is no time tc
be lost in this important matter as
the. visitors are coming every day to
see the big dam and the number will
/ steadily increase. 1t Is imperative
that modern hotel be erected to ex-
tend the proper entertainment.
Luncheons Once a Month.
l.. A. Hamill believed that one of the
things that had accomplished so much
good was the noon day luncheons that
had been given at the Elks club. He
wanted them continued 1t was &c
I cided to hold business mems lunch

will arrange for this meeting. Mr.
Hamill said the luncheons had done a
great deal to get the business men
into closer touch with each other and
a better spirit resulted.

AS to the liability of the Ward line
to passengers who were losers on the

avoidable, and one for which all would
probably be losers except to the extent
of insurance carried The passengers

and will seek to recover from the

mitted late yesterday afternoon to the

tured rib and severe bruises on the
head The superintendent was unable

injuries. DR.. Greenbaum, when ques-
toned, Stated that he had been called
TO attend the man several days ago,
and that he had peer told the man
had fallen from a ladder while cleaning
windows. He was not sure, however,
if this statement vas true.

DARKNESS MAY

Mass Meeting of Merchants to
Act on Discontinuance of
Flaming Arcs.

That street which nearly VieS with day

Next year-alas-it's hard to say
May rival blacklist night.
South Broad street business men-
that is the seventy-three Of them who
have been paying for the flaming arcs
enjoyed by 1T5 merchants and prop
erty-owners along the thor oughfare-
intimated today rather strongly that
unless there was q fairer division of
expense BroaG street could retur.. to
Stygian darkness ana worse, for all
they cared.
The arrangement made with the city
of Newark In 1908 expires January, 1912.
and, according to a very plainly
worded resolution adopted by the
South Broad Street Merchants Asso-
citation and sent to all of the Broad
street merchants today, il will not he
renewed unless q considerably larger
percentage of merchants is willing to
do its share toward the maintenance.
To Meet Mny 16.
This plainly worded resolution and
its explanation follows:
Whereas. the arrangement made
with the city of Newark in the fall OF
1908 for the present flaming arc lights
in South Broad street expires in Jan
uary, 1912; and
Whereas, the burden of the cost for
the maintenance of these lights has
fallen on seventy-three merchants and
property-owners out of the 175 mer-
chants and property-owners in South
Broad street, be 1t
Resolved, That ii is the sense of the
South Broad Street Merchants Assoc
citation that no arrangements be en-
tered into by said association with the
city for renewal, and be It further
Resolved, That a copy of this reso-
luton be sent to every merchant and
property-owner In South Broad street
and adjacent streets and that a meet
ing be held at the Hotel Broad Tues
day evening. May 16. at p. M, to vote
upon the adoption or rejection of this
resolution.
What does this mean? 1t means
that unless the old subscribers and
many new subscribers are added to our
list that the city will probably place
upon South Broad street the old arc
light system.
Do you WANT l iStuih " ehO
ness of three years ago? IL not, attend
this meeting on Tuesday evening, May
l6, prepared to pledge your financial
support toward the continuation of the
present lights and vote down the reso-
luton. Don't think you are not needed,

WEST ORANGE FINDS IT
CAN'T BUY FIRE ENGINE,

Complying with the request of the
West Orange Town Council to find out
IL they had the authority to appropriate
SIS. 900 to purchase an automobile fire
engine Town Attorney Simeon Rollin-
son last night submitted a State ruling
to the council which prohibits the
spending of more than 10000 at one
time. It was expected that the council
would be able to appropriate the SIS. 00C
and immediate steps we're to be taken
to purchase the machine.
The matter has long been agitated
by the council. and about a week ago
several wealthy residents of the st.
Cloud section appeared before the
council and demanded that the ma chine
be purchased. stating that unless bet
ter fire-f1ghting facilities were furnished
insurance companies would refuse to
insure their property. Several of the
councilmen were absent and no action
was taken.
