Closing Of the Canal to Navigation,
Contrary to Reports, Has Not
Been Decided Upon as
Yet
EARLY CLOSE PROBABLE
Text of Communication From Maj.
Keller Indicates That Navisa-
ton viii Profit by
Early Closing.

The question as to the closing of the
canal for navigation purposes, con-
trary to number of reports sent out
from Washington, has not been def
nitely settled, according to communi-
cation received in Keokuk from Maj.
C. Keller, of Rock Island, of the gov
eminent corps of engineers. Mai.
Keller has issued call for a public
meeting to be held here next We'd
nesday, when an effort will be made
to arrive at some definite conclusions
satisfactory to all parties concerned.
That at least the Rock Island branch
of the government service is favorable
to the early closing of the canal is
evident from the text of the commune
cation, which follows:
| United States Engineer Office,
Rock Island, Ill. Aug. Z, 1912.
A public meeting in regard to early
closing this season of the Dies Moines
rapids canal will be held at U. S. Engi-
tneer Office, Lower Lock, Keokuk
Iowa, at 10 a. m. Wednesday, August
ia, 1912.
All persons interested in the naviga
ton of the upper Mississippi river are
invited to attend.
The Mississippi River Power Co. de
sires an early closing, in order that II
may sooner complete its work, which
will benefit navigation. An INTERRUPT
ton of navigation for time this fall
will prevent a longer one next season

WATER TANK
A QUESTION.
City Commissioners Wrestle With a
Proposed Ordinance for the
New Water Street
Level.
WATER CO. OBJECTS
Proposed Plans for the Ordinance
Would Run Through company's
Tank and els
tern.

Opposition on the part of the Water
works Company, and disposition on
the part of the city cor missioners to
work along lines intended to prove the
most satisfactory to all concerned, are
responsible for the holding UP of a
proposed ordinance with which the
commissioners have been wrestling,
and with which they are still wrest-
ling. The resolution which has been
suggested and which. will probably be
framed in a satisfactory manner, has
to do with the creation of the new
level of Water street, and the portion
of the street that is causing the trou.
Bile lies between Main and Morgan
streets, with an intermediate obstacle
at the foot of Concert that is practi-
cally responsible for the delay in ar
irving at a decision.
AT first the commissioners propos-
ed that the road from Main north on
the new level, should run between the
railroad and the river up to the dam
works, but it was at this suggestion
that the Water Works Company OBJ.
jected on account of large water
tank and cistern that lay directly in
the path of the road, and which propo
sition, if carried out, would force the
Water Company to move the tank and
cistern which would be considerable
of an undertaking. The water com
pany suggested that the road Of the
new street level should be on the in
side of the track, and that 1t should
cross above Concert street.
The question confronting the com
missioners in planning for the stree
level and road is in no way serious
one and the differences between tht
commissioners and the Water Com
pany. although slight, will probabl.
/ be adjudicated shortly.

LONDON, Aug. -Suffragettes who
have distinguished themselves by
past demonstrations Of militancy were
all under police surveillance today, in
anticipation of a retaliation of the
women for the sentencing of Mrs.
Mary Leigh and Miss Gladys Evans to
penal servitude on account of an at
tempt to burn the Theatre Royal,
Dublin.
The militants said freely that the
governments resort to such extreme
measures has precipitated crisis
and that the country may be prepared
for anything The police Know that
these threats are not empty and it is
unofIicially admitted at Bow street
that the liveliest apprehension is felt
there of attempts at assassination.
The government is worried at the
display Of sympathy aroused by the
severity with which Mrs. Leigh and
Miss Evans were treated. The public
has never taken the short Jail sent
ences imposed for previous suffragette
disturbances very seriously, but in
making actual convicts for long terms
of years out of two educated and re
fined women whose offenses was, after
all, most people agree, a political one
