South Carolina War Claims.

Washington, Jan. 15.-For six
wears the war claims which have
been considered by the federal court
of claims at Washington have been
hung up by the refusal of the senate
to pass the houses measure provld-
ing for the payment of such judg-
ments unless the house will accept the
French spoliation claims as rider to
the bill
The committee on war claims, of
which Representative Byrnes, of
South Carolina, is member, has just
drawn up the war claims bill for this
year. It includes only claims on
which the court has given judgments.
Th total amount of the payments to
be made under it would be something
over 81, 100000. If the senate again
insists on the French spoliation
amendment Involving more than
s4,OQO,O0O,) last years performance
will doubtless be repeated, as the
appropriations committee of the
house is not in a mood to allot more
than s1,5OO,OO0 to war claims at this
session.
The bill as reported by the COM
mittee carries the following items for
South Carolina:
To A. J. Buero, administrator of
the estate of Angelo Buero, deceas-
ed, of Charleston, s725.
To J. B. Matthews, administrator
of Nathan Gradick, deceased, late of
Richland county, s1,180.
To Robert B. Howard, heir of Jas.
B. Howard, deceased, of Charleston
county, $1,1o0.
To the trustees of the Baptist
church, of Beaufort, $4,000.
To the vestry of Trinity Protestant
Episcopal church, on Edisto Island,
$1,000.
To the Mount Zion Society, of Fair
field county. $4,000.

NEGRO CHARGED WITH MURDER
Eleven-Year-Old Negro Youth Shot
Girl at Florence.

Negro Youth Shot
Girl at Florence.
At Florence Fred Lane, a negro
boy, II years of age, was arrested
Saturday night charged with the
murder of girl, Estella Burnett, IA
years of age. There was no malice
apparently in the killing. The boy
pointed the gun at the girl and said
he was going to shoot her-and he
shot. She warned him to put it up,
and did not seem to anticipate his
shooting. His family say that it
was purely accidental, but he is in
jail awaiting the action of the So
licitor in the matter. The solicitor
is now in Columbia in attendance on
the general assembly.

.KEOKUK FREIGHT RATE
CASE TO WASHINGTON.

4 is the greatest individual water power
on earth. that it is capable of SUP
porting the population of million
people, that there remains enough
power yet unsold to support a poDl-
lation of over 100000 people. This is
all realization of a dream you peo-
/ pie have been struggling for since
1854 but as frequently happens, realiz-
alton does not equal anticipation,
Mr.. Cooper says that If Keokuk ex-
poets to reap any benefit whatever,
| from this dam, she must get on a
basis where she can compete on an
equality with Quincy, Hannibal and
st. Louis for factories and jobbers.
Unless she Is able to do this within
the coming year Mr.. Cooper's COM
pany proposes to sell this power else
where. Already 80 per cent OF the
power is sold for SO years to st. Louis.
If Keokuk is not on parity with
these rival cities. the dam will nom
inally be located at Keokuk, while in
reality, the gigantic dam will be do
ing its great work in st. Louis and
Quincy.
"On traffic handled from territory
east of Illinois originating anywhere
in Ohio, New York, Massachusetts or
other eastern states, to Keokuk, then
re-shipped to any other point in the
United States, west OF Missouri, there
is tax on every hundred pounds SO
handled Of from five to ten cents
more than if you lived at Quincy or
Hannibal.
On every pounds first class from
New York and Atlantic sea board ter
ritory, passing through Keokuk re-
shipped to the west, there is a bridge
toll of five cents; the same hundred
pounds would pass through Hannibal
Quincy Or st. Louis without the pay
ment of any bridge toll. Keokuk
manufacturers and jobbers in addition
to the bridge toll pay 122 per cent of
the Chicago rate, while manufacture
ers and jobbers at Hannibal, Quincy
and St. Louis only pay III per cent
of the Chicago rate, without any
bridge toll.
What is the inevitable answer a
prospective manufacturer or jobber is
going to give you when he learns
there is a tax of five or ten cents on
practically every hundred pounds he
handles through Keolluk which he
would not pay if he lived at Quincy 2
The evidence shows that this diff
ference alone in the handling of many
staple articles is three times the
saving you would have if you secured
all your power absolutely free of cost.
The loss in transmission to Quincy
in power will be ~ per cent which is
estimated to be able to support pop
ulation of 10000 human beings. Here
is tremendous economic waste.
1t is inconceiyable that the U. S.
government will permit this condi-
ton to continue. Keokuk must and
believe will be placed on parity with
Quincy. 1t is up to the interstate com.

Iowa Railroad Commissioner
Goes to Washington Next
Tuesday to be Present
at the Hearing.

Hon Clifford Thorne, member of the

be present at the hearing when the

The controversy before the inter-
state commerce commission on March
90.
The Importance of victory in this
case was emphasized by Hugh L..
Cooper and other witnesses when the
hearing was held in the federal court
before Judge Burchmore. 1t was con-
vincingly pointed out that an equitable
adjustment OF freight rates was abso-
iutely essential to the industrial
growth of Keokuk 1t was pointed
out that an equality of freight rates
must prevail so that Keokuk could
meet competition OF other nearby
cities. That is the goal the Keokuk
Industrial Association and Keokuk
shippers and Commissioner Thorne
are working for. and strong case
was presented by the shippers at the
Keokuk meeting.
Commissioner Thorne in tele-
phone message to The Gate City Fri
day said that he would start for Wash
ington Tuesday to be present at the
hearing when the railroads will pre-
sent their case. The arguments will
be presented one month later and
Commissioner Thorne expects that
the commissioners will be able to
give decision sometime in June.
The importance OF victory in this
contention was forcefully SEATED in a

of the hearing in Keoknk and it is
