WASHINGTON. Dec. "a Endorse

expert treatment was given today by
DR.. Rucker, of the public health serv-

ANY system which will lower the

greatly to be desired" he said.
Dr. Rucker declared that the use

But 1t must be handled by experts.

FouHo Onuer Basement Door.
The officers entered the basement
and found the Mexican laying at the
top of the stairway leading to the
main floor of the store. The door at
the top Of this stairway forms par.
of the floor above, and had been seal.
ed over with a heavy coating Of pa
per during the winter months. When
first found, the man acted as II he
were drunk, but the police found a
large knife at his side which he had
been using to cut the paper on the
floor above In order that he might
open the door.
At the station this morning the
man refused to talk, trying to create
the impression that he did not under
stand English. Later he answered a
few questions, giving his name, and
saying that he was drunk when ar.
rested. He said that he had been
working at the water power for the
last year.

For Original Purpose.

Since the committee planned to
make the visit to keokuk, there has
come up the proposed Rainey investi-
cation which the gentleman from HI
inois is urging on his colleagues. He is
urging an investigation of the rates
charged for electricity and the effects
of the dam on navigation and the like.
1t is not probable that a congress.
sional subcommittee would make such
a sweeping investigation on a one
day visit here, as the original program
called for. 1t is quite generally be-
lieved that the committee will adhere
to Its original purpose, and will only
Investigate the matter of an inter-city
bridge.
1t is barely possible that Senator
Cummins will join the party here, and
that two representatives from Mis-
souri, and Nebraska may be added to
the party.

Kennedy is Confident.

When the matter of the bridge bill
was FIRST considered and the first
visit of the committee scheduled, Con
gresham Kennedy wrote that he was
confident that the visit would result
in favorable reports and favorable
action. This view Is still held by the
congressman, and by the local people
who are concerned in the matter.
The plans for the coming of the con
gressmen are that they will come di.
rectly to Keokuk from their homes, ar
irving here on Monday morning, Janu-
airy H. They will make the tour of
inspection and look over whatever
plans they wish to see, and will de-
part the same evening for Washington.
Should Rainey's Investigation come to
anything, the committee may spend
more than a day here. but this is con-
sidered very unlikely. The sub-com-
mittee is directly concerned with the
inter-city bridge bill, which has al
ready been favorably reported in the
senate. Senator Cummins is confident
that it will be carried for the second
time by the upper houes, when it is
brought up.
