London s Dock Neighborhood is
Practically Under Mob Rule

road car men quit this morning and
several stations were practically in
stage of siege, strike pickets pre-
venting by force all attempts to handle
goods. II was the intention of the
strikers to tie up all street traffic un-
less their demands were conceded
within few hours. Should they sue
ceed London would be near actual
famine.
Thousands Of tons Of fruit, vegeta-
bles and provisions are rotting on the
wharves and in the railway freight de-
pots. Unless they can be moved soon
they threaten to endanger general
health. The Central meat and pro-
visions market are short Of supplies
and prices have advnced alarmingly.
Today the temper Of the strikers ap-
peared ugly.

costed have been SO excited that no
accurate description has as yet been
obtained of the man. but determined
effort will be made to capture him.
| The assertion that the "hugger" Is
crazy is borne out by the fact that
his only clothing is ferocious grin

waist. He is described by some as
being q. man of medium height with
black mustache, while others insist
that he is tell and heavily built. All
agree that he ia crazy

NO PARDON FOR
LIFE PRISONER
State Board of Parole Believes Bad
Precedent Would be Established
In Watson Case.

The state board of parole yesterday
recommended to Governor Carroll
that the application for parole of
Thomas W. Watson, a lifer. at the
prison at Fort Madison be turned
down.
In a lengthy opinion the board
holds that there is not sufficient reas-
on for giving Watson his liberty.
The board states that the law pre-
scribing life sentences for persons
who commit first degree murder
should mean a life sentence. Hence
the board states that it cannot see
it's way clear to grant the application
of Watson.
The board says. however. that II
it were only Watson to be consider
ed that it would not hesitate mo-
ment to recommend his release, but
the effect upon the state would be
such as to make this inadvisable. SO
the board declares.
Watson has been a central figure
in the charges and countercharges
which have been hurled back and
forth between Editor Brant of the
Iowa City Republican and Governor
Carroll over conditions in the peni
Tertiary and the alleged laxity Of the
parole board, the governor and pris-
on officials in caring for prisoners
Editor Brant charged that Watson was
on the point of death. yet his case
has been given little if any attention

vites the Public 60 Come and
Have Good Time.
PARKER CARNIVAL co.

See That the People Are Abund-
antIy ertaIned-Merchants
Are Cooperating.

Keokuk will have fall celebration.
The Independent Order of Owls has
contracted with the Parker Amuse-
ment Co. and the first week in Octo-
Der has been designated as the date
tor the entertainment. For time
appeared that Keokuk would not give
q fall celebration but the Owls have
taken up the question of giving the
people an opportunity to come to
Keokuk this fall and be entertained
and see the dam and Judging from
initial indications they will meet with
splendid success.
Yesterday afternoon committee
from the Owls visited the business
men on the south side of Main street
from Second to Eighth and with one
exception got unanimous consent to
waive any objection to the use of the
streets. Such a cooperation was
necessary SO the promoters can pre-
sent the request to the city commits
sioners who would want an expression
from the merchants as to their willing
ness. Today the north side of Main
street was canvassed and an equally
hearty response obtained The Owls
were pleased with the cooperation
displayed and with the help of the
business men hope to make the first
week in October a pleasing and profit
able one.
The Parker Carnival Co. will bring
TO Keokuk twenty-eight cars of equip
ment and high class of performers.
While this company carries fifteen
paid attractions ample provision Will
be made for sufficient free entertain
ment to give satisfaction. It is no
easy task to arrange and successfully
execute an entertainment of the kind
proposed and the Owls will start out
on their arduous undertaking with
the good wishes and encouragement
of the merchants The people resid
ing near Keakuk have for SO many
years looked to this city for some
kind of amusement each year that to
miss this one would be considered I'M
fortunate, as Keokuk is In the public
eye in a large way, now that the wa
ter power is in progress of construc
ton.
1t is believed that during the week
of the carnival the steamboat SEIZED
ules can be changed so as to run the
boats into Keokuk each day instead
of out of Keokuk. The committee al
work yesterday reported from ever,
source assurances Of the fullest co
operation.

Look
At the
Doctors
Game

country are work
ing a nice little game.
It goes like this. The
family physician de-
cides that the services Of
a specialist are needed.
He suggests a man.
Then he gets a part of
the specialists fee as a
commission. This al
ways increases the cost
to the patient, and has
even caused needless
and dangerous surgical
operations. And it has
got to be a general prac-
tice. You can stop it,
and nobody else. Some
doctors have tried. But
it's up to you. The
s4ory begins on page286
of Pear5on's Magazine
now on sale. Big ply
sicians and surgeons
give the facts. Read
the story. It's worth
a lot to everybody who
has doctors bills.
