Mr.. Wells Confident He viii be
Able to Build Seven Instead of
a Six Story Hotel.

n. P. Wells, who with George H.
Galley Of Chicago are to manage the
new Hotel Iowa, Is confident that he
will be able to make the hote! seven
instead of six stories. The original
plan was to build six story hotel,
but Mr.. Wells Is now confident that
he can arrange to make It seven
story, which will be good news as it
will therefore accommodate more
guests and keokuk is going to need a
lot of hotel room this year and for
mary years to come. The work now
going on Is beginning to make an
impression both as to It's mechanical
construction and on the public. The
forms are being erected for the sec
ond story, brick will be placed in po-
sition In a short time ard the concrete
for the three floor levels is going in
rapidly. The force is being increased
and there is an activity about the
hotel building that looks good. When
the conditions permit extra shifts will
be put to work and every effort made
to complete the hotel before the ceIe-
bration date which Is August S. and
with no unfavorable Incidents the
builders believe they will have it
ready for the public Inspection and
use.

Practices Among Motorists
In Htfv


Raymond Kinney was before Judge
Mcnamara in he superior court today
on two charges filed by Chief of Po-
lice Kenney charging him with VIOLA
tions of the laws regarding motor
vehicles. The first charge was for
driving without license tag on the
hack Of the machine and the second
for operating without light on the
rear of the machine. On each count
he was fined twenty-five dollars and
costs and appealed to the mayor in
the matter
It is understood hat the police
We're really after Kinney for speeding
but because of the peculiar nature of
the law it is difficult matter to prove
violation of the speed ordinance. Kin
ney declared that in the first count he
was using the license of the dealer
and in the second that he did have a
light.
Every effort will be made by the
police 10 break up the bad practices
