other children in a vacant lot when
one of them suggested that they set

fire and before help arrived her back,
arms and legs had been badly burned.

BOATS FORCEDTO
RETIRE; DAM AT
KEOKUK is CAUSE
Power Concern Claims Right to
Withhold Water and I'm
perils Navigation.
COMPANIES MAY APPEAL
Danger of Being Driven from Through
River Traffic May Cause the
Owners to Take Action.

Because of the attitude of the Mis-
sissippi Power company, operating the
new Keokuk dam, in claiming the right
to withhold the flow of the river dur
ing the night, the Streckfus Steamboat
line has been forced to withdraw from
the through traffic.
A telegram received today by R. ].
Fullerton. local agent of the company
from the general Office at st. Louis
states that the action of the company
has resulted in such a fall in the chan
mel as to imperil navigation between
Keokuk and Charlottesville, Mo-, and
delay the boats beyond possibility OF
profit.
For this reason the last sailing date
of the steamer Quincy has been can,
celled while the ST Paul will close its
through season with this down trip
The Dubuque will continue as SEIZED
uIed.
MAY TEST CASE.
That the boat companies will appeal
to the government for aid before the
opening of navigation next spring is
the general belief.
According to their statements, if the
power company persists in its claim
to the right of Withholding the water
it will be extremely hazardous for the
big boats to attempt to come up the
river after the summer fall commences
and may ultimately mean the forced
withdrawal of through river traffic.

GOOD GAMES ARE
BEING SECUR Ed
High School Squad Will Have
Unusually Heavy Schedule
for This Season.
INITIAL CONTEST ON 9TH
To Meet Alumni on That Date-Rock.
ford Will Be Seen Here in
November.

Before a large crowd of football
men last evening Coach Corneal laid
down some new rules of practice and
training which must be followed by all
local high school football men during
the coming season. The football
meeting was the largest which has
been held in late years at the high
school, there being over 80 students
who will don togs tomorrow night and
begin the practice for The season.
Strict training is to be observed by all
members of the squad. A new rule is
to be enforced by the Athletic asso-
citation this season. Upon receiving a
suit from the association, the recipient
must turn in to the association treas
ury $500 which will be returned 10
the player when the suit is returned.
From the number of candidates
and the weight of each. which was
taken by Coach Corneal, the local
high school should be represented by
a good team during the coming sea.
son. OF the men who won their let
tiers last year, six of them are back
at school and at present eligible to
play in high school contests. OF
these, Captain Willard Larkin, leads
the list and by his fast and heady
playing of the past two years, has
held down the position at the end of
the line. Glass will probably take his
tackle as of last year, and Phiibrook
will undoubtedly play. the center po-
sition. Chalk, the phenomenal run
ner of the local school, who played
part of the season last year al guard
is at school and will perhaps play his
old position. Criswell, who, although
he did not win his r. !. last year,
played in a number of games, has re-
turned to school and will try out for
the team. Kipp and Whistler are as
yet the only backfield men Of last
years team who have reported at
school, Glass will probably again do
the booting for the team. A large
amount of new material has reported
for practice, and 1t is probable that
the holes in the lineup will be filled
by good men.
THE SCHEDULE.
A good schedule has been arranged
by Manager A. G. Hill, most of the
games TO be played on the home
grounds. The season will open on
September 81 when the high school
eleven viii play the alumni. The fol
loving week Iowa City plays here AMI
then the local lads journey to Clinton
to play the up-riyer e.even. There
are as yet four open dates to be filed.

OPPOSITION TO
PARK PURCHASE
SEEMS REMOVED
Residents in Vicinity Of Tract
Hold Conference on the
Subject.
COMMITTEE IS SELECTED
Confer With Council and Get Prom.
lse to Have Parkway Opened
Up Through Tract

The only definite opposition to the
purchase by the city Of the Island
City Baseball tract for a public play
grounds and athletic field, has been
removed. At meeting last evening
of property owners in the vicinity Of
the park, a committee was named to
confer this morning with the city
commission, relative to the situation
and it was found that one condition
alone was the cause OF the disapprov-
al Of the project and that was. should
the plan carry at the special bond
election September II, 1t would mean
that no avenue east and west could be
opened up through the district, there
by causing much inconvenience to peo-
pie living around and beyond the
park.
GRANT CONCESSION.
The mayor and other members OF
the commission this morning readily
agreed to the opening up of a drive
way TO the north of the ball park, at
what would probably be continuation
Of Sixteenth avenue. The thorough.
fare would run east and west
60 feet wide and would be paved all
this, however, being on condition that
the purchase of the park is approved
at the approaching election. The
tract, which it is proposed to buy, vii!
contain about IL acres. The ball park
is located on Eighteenth avenue and
n street could not be put through al
Seventeenth avenue, since this would
mean cutting 1t in two. Therefore the
only other available place for a new
parkway. would be just beyond the
north end Of the park fence, at about
Sixteenth avenue.
REMOVES OBJECTION.
The plan TO put a thoroughfare
through the district which it is
proposed to buy, will In nc
way affect the original plans
for public Fairgrounds and
athletic field. 1t will merely mean
that the bail park will be south Of the
new thoroughfare and the Fairgrounds
north OF it. The residents in the vi
cinity OF the park have been afraid
that the permanent location Of the
fairgrounds IN that locality would re-
tard the growth of the city because of
the supposed inability to have an ave-
me through It but since this objec-
tcn has been obviatei by the city
commission, It is beloved that all op-
position 20 the ball park matter has
been overcome and al the same time
residents in that locality will get a
public improvement which ought to
be greatly appreciated.
