MACHINE GUNS USED
House Was Set on Fire by the FusI-
lade and the Barrlcaded Men
Were Burned to
Death.

LONDON, Jan. s.-The greatest
fight In the history of London be-
tween the police and gang OF IN
archists took place oday in the
slums district.
The anarchists took, refuge in their
house and with Flenty of ammunI-
tion, held back the offic IS for nearly
six hours during which time hundreds
of shots wero fired and the men were
not conquered until machine guns
had been brought into use and the
/ house set on FIRE.
Thousands OF people watched the
battle and the faraes spread to ad-
4 joining houses.
4 On one side were the anarchists,
4 Two were wanted for the Hounds
Ditch fight with the police on De-
I cember 16, when two police were shot
i to death.
Those attacking the anarchists in
their house on Sioney street were
!. first 800 police, then 1000 and then
J 300, finally enforced by company
r Of mounted infantrs and Scotch
, guards with machine guns.
} The house caught fire from the
9 machine guns and the anarchists
= were burned to death. Six hours o.
E fighting was INDUCED in and several
q lof.ieers were shot and wounded.
Two private citizens were fatally
= shot One was a brewery worker
r and the other was struck by a stray
bullet while in his home several
o blocks distant.
e Just as the police entered the burn
:. ed house and reported the finding o
b the bodies, fiell guns arrived AM
0 this led to the report that the an
archists had escaped and their new
/ hiding place was to be razed by tht
J. artillery. How the anarchists were
< enabled to hold back sucn ar army al
e. long as they did is almost mex

It's up to Keokuk.
Are we to be a city or a
distributing station?

The most momentous error
this city can make is to COM
placently receive the water
power enterprise as an all
sufficient panacea for her COM
mercial ills. This city doesn't
want commercial absolution.
It wants industrial ginger and
the biggest dose will be admin
istered when the current sup
piled by the Keokuk and Ham
ilton Water Power Go. shoots
through the wires and for this
enterprise how thankful and
not how indolent- we should
be.
It's up to Keokuk to meet
the new conditions IN a spirit
and method commensurate
with the magnitude of the EN-
terprise and The Gate City has
faith that the citizenship is
broad enough, patriotic enough
and generous enough to meet
all coming problems, no matter
what they might be. But the
sooner this city dismisses for
all time the opinion, or hope
that the water power will solve
all our troubles, the better of
the city will be. This is nj
time for castle construction OF
delightful romancy or peaceful
contemplation. It's a time fol
rigorous and vigorous action

0OCS uAAO 0OOVO SVHVSAAVAAs
made by Hugh Z Cooper, chief
engineer of the Keokuk and
Hamilton Water Power Co., to
a Gate City representative,
have any significance to this
city?
Does the visit made here
yesterday by members Of the
commercial clubs and munich
pal organizations Of Fort Mad
ison and Burlington to confer
about the relative price Of
power with the concurrent in
tention of locating factories in
those places, mean anything?
Does it mean anything to
Keokuk that other cities on the
transmission line from Keokuk
! to st. Louis will be in a fortu-
nate position to make attrac-
/ tive presentations Of their ad-
4 vantages as factory cities have
!. any significance?
Did it ever occur to you that
\ the merchandise Of the Eeokull
and Hamilton Water Power Go
!, will consist exclusively in elec
} tricity and that such merchan
disc must and will of necessity
4 be sold to as good advantage
! as possible by the company?
Do the above, and many 9th
er things that could be suggest
ed, mean anything to Keokuk
In very plain language they
: mean that unless Keokul
wakes up to her opportunity
the one she has dreamed Of fo,
! fifty years-will still be

CHAPTER XII. Confirming a Rumor

ALL evening the telephone was janglng and the wire
was warm with invitations declarations OF irleni-
ship and Socitudc for the nerves OF the royal niue
rider who had been all but thrown in the park Through
ont all ,wclliom the vcry alarms were tlnking some
as bald warnings TO beware Of sham, some in sheer
trepdation of spirit and some mere relief to beings
hopclessly burdcncd with cnnul.
On the following day which was AhCe afternoon al

French or German she replied in their chosen tongue
