About ten o'clock Friday night, ex-

HOTEL BUILDING

MIR. Cooper Explains That the Delay
Is Due to the Prospective
Manager Declining .

WORKING ON THE PLANS
Builder Of the Water-Power Says He
is Going to Keep Right on and
Make Delay as Short
as Possible.

That there viii be several weeks
delay in breaking ground for the new
hotel building, chargeable to nobody
in Keokuk, but due to the determina-
ton of Hugh L. Cooper to be sure
that everything is exactly right be-
fore he goes ahead is the tenor of an
open letter to the Keokuk subscrib-
ers of the $4,000 stock allotment
from Mr.. Cooper today. The letter is
as follows:
September 81 1912.
To the subscribers to the preferred
stock for the new hotel.

the reasons hereafter given, there
will be some delay in the oreaniza.
ton of the hotel company and the
commencement of actual construc-
ton.
| have employed the architect, Mr..
Guy G. Mariner, of Saint Louis, to
prepare complete set of plans, spe-
cifcations and estimates, covering the
cost OF a six-story hotel building at
fOuTlD anu VMdlu SttCOtos anu 6oost
progress has been made on this end
of the work. It will require another
two weeks, however, for Mr.. Mariner
to complete his work to such point
that may, upon examining it, deter
mine to my own satisfaction that the
improvement can be made within the
amount of money available.
Another reason for this delay is
that the party whom we expected to
take the $4,000 issue of common
stock and operate the hotel has with
drawn from the proposition because
of the fact that I, representing all the
preferred stockholders, would not
agree to certain conditions imposed
by him as to the privileges and rights
of the preferred stockholders, which
Objectionable conditions were only
brought up by him within the past
few days and were contrary to the

him.
In justice to the Keokuuk stock
holders, who SO generously and
promptly subscribed to this issue, |
could not agree to his proposals even
though by rejecting them delay in
the building of the hotel might be in
volved.
The present status of the matter is
as follows:
/ propose to keep right at this mat
ter and secure as soon as possible a
competent hotel operator, who will
make this investment with us, and to
make every effort to have the delay
as short as possible
/ want it particularly understood
that the delay is in no way caused
by any action of tire local subscrib-
ers or any one in Keokuk, but is
solely on account of our having been
unable, up to this time, to make as
good bargain for the outside money
as / believe you are entitled to and
as believe can secure.

Editor Vinita Daily Chieftain:
The citizens Of Vinita don't seem to
appreciate the fact that they have
right in their midst gold mine, that
is waiting for development and as the
proposition is for the benefit of all our
citizens, it will require the co-opera-
tion of all its citizens.
We have an unlimited supply of
Radium water the same as Claremore
has, at depth of only a hundred feet,
besides we have our own artesian
water and to combine the two we will
have much superior water than that
at Claremore. Now then let our citi-
zens get together and drill a well,
build suitable building at the Elec-
trie park around the swimming pool,
first to cement the entire pool, then
advertise and get patients and ship

monials of people who have been bene-
fitted by our water and can soon fill

invest and perhaps locate.
| am willing to donate my services
and do all can to help deal along
these lines.
The new interurban line from Bal
Hesville to Galena will pass through
Vinita and this also will assist vers

PROGRESSIVE PARTY
CONVENTION CALLED
Teddy Supporters Will Gather at Chi
caso August 5.--Dixon Makes
Move.

New York, July IA call to the
people of the United States who are In
sympathy with the national progress
siye movement" to send delegates to
a national convention to open at Chi
cago August S, was given out this aft
ernoon by United States Senator
Joseph NJ Dixon Of Montana, Theo-
dore Roosevelt's campaign manager.
The call is signed by members of the
committee chosen at preliminary
meeting held in Chicago and includes
signatures of Roosevelt followers in
forty states.
The territories have no place in a
national convention and will not be
considered" declared Senator Dixon in
commenting on the signatures. "As for
the missing eight states, the most of
them probably will send delegates, al
though they have not taken part in
the call.
Maine, for instance, postponed any
definite action because there is a
strong fight on in the primaries with
the sympathy running in favor of the
progressive movement. Delaware,
North Carolina, Arkansas and Nevada
probably will take part in the conyen.
tion Mississippi and South Carolina
may possibly be unrepresented.
The call lays down no rules as to
the methods OF choosing delegates
since each state win be expected to
select its delegates by its own para
phernalia The representation will be
cut down to just one half that of the
previous conventions. This was con
sidered advisable since this conyen-
tion is notably to be a deliberatiye
body and will certainly be composed
of class of men altogether different
from those who usually attend conyen-
tons
In all probability the convention
win adopt the name National Progress
sive for the new party but cannot
say definitely what will be done. Thus
far no issues have been authoritatigely
stated

TEXAN KILLED

SPOKE At TULSA

Tulsa, Okla, July 5.-Senator Rob
ert L. Owen concluded an eventful day
in Tulsa county tonight when he spoke
to two thousand people in the court
house square. The senator spoke fol-
lowing the band concert and barbecue
despite very threatening weather and
his speech was greatly appreciated.
Mrs. Owen and the senator's daughter
mingled with the crowd during the
band concert. Last month former Gov
ernor Haskell spoke here to only one
hundred and seventy people and the
contrast between this and the sena-
tors audience indicates that Tulsa
county almost unanimously is for Sen
ator Owen.

MORE ROADS
ARE NEEDED
President Yoakum Of the Frisco Says
This Section Will Require
Mileage.

President b. F. Yoakum of the
Frisco states that if Oklahoma, Texas.
Missouri, Arkansas and Louisiana are
to continue to increase in population
during the next twenty years as they
have during the last twenty, there
would have to be constructed during
that time a total of 27,520 additional
miles of railroads and in addition to
that at least half as much in new see
ond and third tracks, sidings, yards
and terminals This would require a
total cost of more than 81 10000. .O00
estimating the main line at $45,OOO, the
mile and the other trackage at 10000
the mile. In other words an average
of more than $S2,5OO,OOO per year
would have to be expended during the
period
In Oklahoma alone" states Mr..
Yoakum, only 100000 out of total
of 44,324,100 acres are in cultivation.
Besides this great state has a large
coal area and extensive oil lands, all
oi which will require m roetrackage. .
Other high railway officials state
that the railroads will not hesitate to
provide this additional milage, if the
state laws are so modified as to make
the enlargement of already establish
ed systems feasible. They state that
present statutes seem to have been
designed especially to prevent the en-.
largement of large systems and it is
up to the people to see that they are
so modified as to make such invest
ment attractive. They state that the
history of railroading in this and other
countries indicates that the larger tue
administrative unit the more economi-
cal the operation expenses and the
more efficiently is traffic carried out

TO GRANDFATHER
ARKANSAS NEGROES

Little Rock, Ark, July Sin an EN-
phatic statement issued today. Cover
nor George w. Donaghey takes the
position that the grandfather clause"
proposed as an amendment to the Ar.
kansas constitution, eliminating the
negro vote, should be adopted by all
means.
In explanation of his position Gov
ernor Donaghey declares that the ne
gro, 'by virtue of racial conditions,
cannot participate in government in
the south" and that the best thing
that can be done for him is to make
this clear to the negro himself.
1--WE have already virtually taken
the ballot from him." said the COVER
nor. ''for he is not now allowed TO vote
generally. Why not do by law what
we are already doing without law?
Besides it will be better for the negro
by taking from him the incentive to
mix with something for which he is
not fitted in his relation to the rest
of the south. am positively in favor
of the proposed amendment and trust
it will be adopted at the September
election"

TRADE TONE IS
NOW OPTIMISTIC
Favorable Weather For Crops Helps
All Lines of Business.

New York, July -Bradstreets to-
morrow will say:
"The weeks developments have been
mainly favorable These include the
arrival of much needed moisture in
parts of the northwest; the regaining
of some earlier ground lost by the
corn and cotton crops the eontinu-
ance of exceptional activity in finished
steel outputs; the enlargement of fall
trade in some markets close to the
soil as for instance, the northwest and
parts of the south, and last but not
least, the expansion due to hot weatt-
er and midsummer holiday influences.
of demand at retail which has relieved
final distributors shelves and even iii
duced some measure OF filing in de-
mands of jobbers,"
The net result is the growth Of a
rather optimistic feeling in general
trade and industrial circles and a dis
position to look more to the bright
side of things.

Railroad Passes to Women.

While it has been customary for
railroads to give passes to employees
who haye been in continuous service
for a number of years, it remains for
the Frisco to introduce an innovation
by which passes may be awarded to
the feminine heads of employees fam
lilies.
The Frisco having been foremost ii
the southwest to appreciate the inn
portance of the sofety first movement
and to further emphasize the interest
which it takes in it, has inaugurated a
plan by which the reward of actual in
terest in this movement will be passes
to the wives, or mothers, or sisters of
the employees on the division which
has made the best record in the reduc-
tion of personal injury accidents for
the year ending June 80, 1912
Vice-President W. C. Nixon an
nounces that after the winning division
has been determined, special time
passes signed by the superintendent
of that division, will be given to the
wives, or mothers, or unmarried
daughters, who are actual heads of
households of employees and depend
ent upon them for support
These passes will be good for six
months on that division and will be
limited to employees who have been in
the service for one year or more in
most cases; in the others, three years
or more. They will also be given to
the women who are in the employ of
the company on that division.
Careful Investigation will be made to
ascertain which of the divisions has
made the greatest improvement, based

G|DD|N9S CLIMBED
IN WRONG WAGON

Oklahoma City, July Be J. Gid
dings or Gid as he is known here,
lis the man who mistook the band wa
gon for the steam roller in the Balti-
more convention and thought by climb
ing aboard while the going was good,
to break into print in the eastern pa
pers. After Gid got his smoked
glasses off, he discovered that he had
taken a seat in the wrong vehicle and
tried to get off. Just where he will
get off mo one knows at present but it
is predicted that the getting off place
will not be in the vicinity of the White
House in case Woodrow Wilson be-
comes the occupant.
Giddings was a Wilson delegate to
the convention. In the state conven-
ton in which he was chosen a dele
gate, he succeeded in making himself
known to the democrats of his state by
delivering strong address which press
dispatches said electrified the crowd"
During his residence in Oklahoma, Gid
dings has pulled off many "electrify-
ing" stunts.
Mississippi claims the honor of be-
ing Giddings' native state. Since COM
ing to Oklahoma he has taken more
or less active part in politics.
