SENATE
GETS DOWN
TO ITS WORK
BILL TO ABOLISH CAPITAL PUN.
ISHMENT is EXECUTED BUT
WILL HAVE REHEARING, MANY
OTHER BILLS PASSED.

Senator Patton's bill as amended
by the judiciary committee and which
provides for the adjustment of capi-
tai punishment went down to defeat
yesterday afternoon in the senate but
motion was made to reconsider it
and make it a special order of busi-
ness on Tuesday afternoon and at
that time the advocates of the bill
hope to secure enough votes by hav-
ing the absent members present to
pass the measure. 1t is known that
several of those absent are in favor
of it and it will likely pass as but
16 votes are required to pass meas
ure.
The bill provides for the complete
adjustment of capital punishment
and while it places the pardoning
power in the hands of the governor,
he is powerless to act until a suffi-
cient showing has been made before
the supreme court to warrant in the
judgment of that tribunal the issu-
ance of a pardon.
Other Bills Passed.
Senator Burgess bill requiring To-
cal agents to report the time of arri-
val and departure of trains, was
passed and so was Senator Joseph's
bill providing for the creation of a
state naval reserve. Similar action
was taken with relation to a bill pro-
viding that counties may issue bonds
for the construction of roads.
Senator Dimick's bill providing a
procedure for incorporated cities to
pursue in extending their boundary
lines where none is defined by char
ter, received a majority vote and was
declared passed
Favorable action was also taken by
the senate on the bill of Senator
Sinnott providing for the rotation Of
names on the election ballots. Sena-
tor Sinnott's bill providing that in
cases of divorce that written notice
on the district attorney might be
waived and legalizing all divorces
where the district attorney had not
been served was also passed.
Senator Merrymans bill prohibit
ing the location of saloons within six
miles of any public works went
through without opposition and but
two nays were registered against the
bill of Senator Albee defining va
grancy and prescribing a penalty for
persons existing in idleness when
work had been offered them.
Senator Carson's bill providing for
the boarding of county prisoners did
not have the smoothest sailing but 1t
went through and bill introduced
by Senator Dimick fixing the bound
ary line between Clackamas and Mar
ion counties, experienced no opposi-
ton.
Senator Calkins' bill making sa-
looms answerable in damages for
selling liquor to intoxicated persons
received a unanimous vote.
The senate will convene for busi-
ness again Monday morning at 10
o'clock.

Scout Mccormick Looks
Ed ReichLe Over a Bit

Ed Reichle, the greatest of all CEN
terfielders, may still go up into high
er fields to conquer. Scout McCor1n-
lex of the st Louis Browns, is here
to look him over and the big fellow
made pretty good showing for him.
SER Saturday before the big leaguer's
trained eye
Mccormick is making tour of the
Three-Eye and central Association
clubs. He will not try to go every
where in both circuits, but will slant
his glims at the best they produce.
He says he came to Keokuk to look
over Reichle, who once was covered
up by the Browns in a charity act for
Keokuk, but will probably take as
keen peep at some of the other
youngsters. Mccormick will remain
here over Sunday, seeing Muscatine.
Reichle performed in manner true
to his form Saturday At bat he
doubled and dropped neat sacrifice
and In the outfield he accepted every
chance and made the best catch of
the day. 1t was beauty; one of
those short flies which he picked off
his shoe strings.
Muscatlne Comes Today.
Muscatine will be in Keokuk today
for the first time, when Walters and
his fast slipping Camels open a four
game series. Keokuk is going better
right now than at any time this sea

Palisadian., 1911-06-01

George Beckman, who was OH the
outlook for some one Of the enemy"
himself. Finally, however, after a
few moments Of hard work, George
was "kil1ed" by Glen, and the latter
went on as though he had really put
soldier out of business. The final
outcome of this sham battle was that
one side won-that is, it got the most
men into the cabin, the enemy" be-
ing for the most part "killed." Each
side won a victory, and then the boys
did not want to come home at all, and
it is barely possible that they would
have been there still, if Captain Harry
had not thought some of the mothers
of Palisade would get uneasy about
the boys in kahki
1t must be stated that the same
afternoon of the sham battle the
cadets were given two 'hikes that
is, marchings, and that this part of
the fun was not nearly as interesting
as the sham battles. The boys are
dead game sports on this crawling
war game, and are anxious for an
other Coytesville seat of war to be
established. The drilling of the boys
has been greatly improved, now that
their guns have arrived, and the great
est interest prevails among all of the
members. Captain Elkan deserves
great deal of credit for his untiring
energy in getting the boys to continue
their interest, and Captain N. A.
Paul. also, come in for his share of
the praise.
Palisadian., 1911-06-01

am head over heels in love with the
new game. Beats all the baseball
there is
The fun about the game was that it
was a sort of sham battle devised by
Captain Elkan. He had found an old
log cabin in the woods near Coytes-
vile, where the trees and under
9ro yth were very thick, and where a
real Indian could be lost within
twenty feet of the enemy. Around
this old cabin the boys were de
ployed in two squads, placed some
500 feet apart in a semi-circ1e, and
each side was to advance on the cabin
in real snoopy fashion, crawling on
all-fours, lodging behind trees, run

so as not to be seen, if there were
any way possible to prevent it. If
boy happened to be seen, he was
called to and his name spoken The
boy calling out first put the other
fellow out of the fight, and he was
put on the "killed" list. In this way
the boys worked for several hours.
Captain Elkan SO placed himself that
he could watch the work of the boys
without being seen, and he admits
that it was almost as much fun watch
in the efforts of his boys as they had
themselves in doing the work. At
one time, while Ben Douglas was
crawling along noise1ess1y on his
stomach, he was peering in every
direction for the enemy, when he was
at that moment within twenty feet of
