WASHINGTON, July ~1.-senator
Works, of California, progressive Re-
publican. presenting in the Senate to-
day a resolution to investigate recent
campaign contributions and expendi-
lures, declared that President Taft's
denomination had been procured un-
justly and illegally.
California needed no new party, he
said, and the Republican party might
better go down to defeat for the sins
of it's leaders and come up four years
hence, than to form a new party.

KEOKUK DAM WILL BE
FINISHED JULY /, 1913
Engineer Hugh L. Cooper Teiegraphs
This Fact to the Burlington
HaWk-Eye.

Not only has the Keokuk dam and
power house resisted all onslaughts of
the ice jam in the river at that point
and come through without a particle
of visible injury, but the work on it
has not ceased for an hour In all the
time of the great outrush of grindins
cakes. Engineer Cooper wires the
Burlington Hawk-Eye that this test
being successfully past insures the
finishing of the dam by July 1, 1918,
as originally planned Mr.. Cooper's
telegram is as follows.
"Keokuk, Iowa, March 81. Editor
Hawk-Eye: The river here dropped
five feet last night. An examination
this morning shows all the work,
even temporary character, Is COM
fortably and easily intact and not
needing any attention whatsoever.
Yesterday when the flood was at is
height We had one OF the best days
OF progress on permanent work since
the construction began.
The passing of this flood with its
ice without interrupting the construc-
ton program guarantees that the
plant will be in readiness for opera
ton and delivery of power IN the Mis-
sissippi river valley by July /, 1913.
