morning, it is believed here transport
could be on its way by nightfan or
soon thereafter
A practical demonstration on a large
scale of the efficiency of the new or

years naval receiving ship at New

A thousand marines are to be or

been loaded with unperishable food

medical supplies, even wagons and
possibly live stock, constituting a COM

Keokuk. Aug. Ex-Governor Edward
F. Dunno, of Illinois, was among the
first of the state Legislatures to arrive
for today's governors day program
in connection with the dedication of
the immense concrete waterpower dam
across the Mississippi river here to-
morrow. The celebration formally op-
ened this morning and chief executives
or their personal representatives from
several states were present. The gov
ernorS were en- route to Colorado
Springs for the conference to be held
here this week. Clear skies and ideal
weather marked the opening day.
Keokuk was brilliantly decorated in
honor of the distinguished visitors, and
the streets We're crowded with specta-
tors. After meeting at the Elks' club
the governors and their hosts were eS-
corted to the dam in automobiles and
were taken on a trip through the pow
erhouSe and out on the dam. Here the
governors were Joined by Governor
Dunno and party and boarded a special
reservation train which carried them
over the dam to the Illinois shore. At
this point the governors embarked on

Paris. Aug. 25.-The French foreign
office cabled instructions to the French
minister in Mexico on Friday last to
support the policy of the United States
toward Mexico by making friendly rep
resentations to President Huerta. The
French government declares itself con-
vinced by its advices from Washing

indications are that President Poincaire

READY FOR ACTION.
The Marine Corps Can Be Moved on
Short Notice.

Washington, Aug. 25.-While the
United States Marine Corps has NOS
been preparing for any particular
emergency officials declare today that
branch of the service has been made
so mobile that on a few hours notice
it could start for any place its services
We're needed. This applies in general
to the entire personnel of the corps
but more particularly to that portion
stationed at Philadelphia. From that
station the 1000 marines in barracks
there would be ready to take transport
and sail on the shortest possible no
tice. So far as the men themselves are
concerned every one would be at his
post with all paraphernalia in two
hours after call came, every man
would be in line, for the marine corps
is the one branch of the fighting ser
vice of the nation which is filled up to
the last man. OF the 1922 marines
not counting officers, many more are
stationed at Philadelphia than any
other point. At Norfolk there are al
most 700 but many are recruits, not
ready for service without at least ten
weeks training.
The especial preparedness of the
marines at Philadelphia is due to the
advance base" training given them
there. Speed is the element which
enters to greater degree probably than
any other, into the training. An hour S
loss of time in reaching and holding Z
some particularly desired strategic point
in an enemy'S territory or elsewhere
might give the enemy an advantage
which would engender weeks of hard
fighting and manuevering. For this
reason the necessity for speed in an
swering every call is instilled by con-
stant practice.
AS TO provisioning a transport to
carry marines from Philadelphia it
was said that it would require some
hours more than it would take the
men themselves to get aboard. How
ever, unless a call came at night it is
believed all the food needed fer an
extended trip could be taken aboard

TO TAKE ALAY OFF
Mrs. Pankhurst Advises Her
Followers to Rest.
Only One Suffragette Now Is
in Jail.

London. Aug. 25.-Rumors which
have been current of a truce between
the militant suffragettes and the Brit
ish government seem to find support
in a letter written today by Mrs. Pank-
hurst to her followers advising them
to take a holiday for the present.
She says: Il am gathering up
strength for a renewed battle when the
holiday session is over. 1 hope that
every one of you also will take advan-
tage of the present IuIl in political ac-
tivity to take the rest and change you
all so richly deserve"
Another indication that an agree
ment has been reached is the cessa-
tion by the authorities of the enforce
ment of the "Cat and Mouse act.
Out of 43 suffragettes sentenced to
imprisonment for various offenses,
only one now is in Jail.
1t is widely believed Mrs. Pankhurst
has at least agreed to a truce in or
der to strengthen the hands of those
members of the British cabinet who
are working to make the enfranchise-
meTt of women a government meas

A MADMAN'S ACT
Newton Edison of WOOdStOn
Killed His Wife.
Then Turned Weapon Against
Himself.
10 CAUSE FOR THE DEED
Wife Dies in Sight of Neigh
bOrs Coming to Aid.
Little Girl Pleads With Father
Not to Kill Mother.

Woodston, Kan, Aug. 25.-Crazed
because of business difficulties and
family troubles, Newton Edison Sunday
murdered his wife and killed himself
The double killing followed quar-
rel in the Edison home in the morning
when the husband, a barber. told his
wife Of the uncertainty of business
affairs and expressed a desire to end
his trouble with a gun.
Mrs. Edison became alarmed when
she heard her husbands threats ana
ran into the yard and screamed Tor
help. Seeing Mrs. H. L. Triplett, a
neighoor woman, in an adjoining yard,
Mrs. Edison screamed to her for aid.
Hes going to kill me- screamed
Mrs. Edison. Get help"
The neighbor rushed to the tele-
phone and called to Mayor Still and
J. N. Brickell, the town constable.
But they arrived too late. Edison had
followed his wife into the yard and
renewed his threats to kill her and
then end his own life. Selling the
woman by the throat, Edison was
beating her head against the side of
the little house when the mayor and
town constable arrived at the Edison
home. Edison saw them enter the
yard. Probably he realized that he
had but a few seconds in which to
accomplish his purpose and he
Reaching in his pocket, Edison drew
a revolver and pointed it at his wife
Almost at that instant Edson's little
5-year-old daughter rushed into the
yard and, seizing her mammals skirts
in her hands. pleaded with the father
and husband not to shoot.
Don't shoot mamma, please don't"
screamed the little tot, who seemed to
realize the Importance of the crazed
mans threats.
Edison only pushed the child aside.
Mayor Still and Constable Bickell
heard the report of a revolver. They
saw Mrs. Edison sink to the ground.
The bullet had penetrated her heart.
AS the two town officials hesitated
and looked on the murderous scene.
they saw Edison lean over the pros
trate body of his wife and fire two
more bullets into her breast. Then
Edison turned and looked at the Off
GERS with a grimace that indicated
satisfaction over his success. All the
time the officers were approaching
But Edson calmly turned the gun to
his own breast and sent the fourth
bullet crashing through his heart. Ten
minutes later he was dead.
Mrs. Edison was daughter of John
LaRue of Natoma. Edson's parents
are both dead, but he has three broth
ers and a sister living. Funeral SER
vices will be held separately

SLAVES IN MANILA
Human Bondage Exists in the
Philippines.
According to a Report by Com
missioner Worcester.

Washington, Aug. 25.-Slavery in the
full meaning of the word exists
throughout the Philippines even in the
city of Manila and peonage is general
i'm the islands according to a special
report Commissioner Dean Worcester
has made to the insular government
1t has not been received by the war de-
Dartment but copies are in the hands
of other officials. Filipinos in parts of
the islands commonly capture children
and sell them into slavery for profit
Some are sent to China, where they
are dressed in the native fashion.
Some children have been enticed from
their homes by slave agents upon
promise of scholarships in schools, and
some of these in an instance which Mr..
Worcester reports in detail, were sold
and others were farmed out for money.
He cites the case of u 3-year-Old girl
bought for some pigs and a cloak The
supreme court of the islands released
tb. slave trader on the ground that TO
crime had been committed because no
physical force had been used This
one case Mr.. Worcester says, has
blocked laws for the suppression of the
traffic, because many of its members
come from provinces where slavery
fourishes One of his reports on the
traffic he says. lies tabled in the Phil
ippines assembly.
Mr.. Worcester declares he had great
difficulty in getting 1actS OF Save cases
and intimates that reports are with
held by the officers of the Philippine
consta buIary. He cites the case of a
Philippine assemblyInan caught red
handed owning Il slave girl in Manila
and says;
Il could obtain conclusive evidence
of a hundred of them but why multiply
cases. 1t is simply a case of time and
work
He charges that Philippine assem-
blymen maintain peonage on their own

WIVES COMPLAIN
Autos Used as Bath Houses at
ROckaWay Beach.
Women Can't Get Husbands to
Leave Front Porch.

New York, Aug. 25-Police Captain
COleman's orders forbidding the use
of automobiles as bath houses at the
Rockaway beach have proved ineffec-
tive. Some of the cars in which bath
1ngs suits are donned are fitted with
filmy curtains, and some have no cur
tainS at all.
The police have received many pro-
tests lately from wives who were un-
able to induce their husbands to leave
the front porches, even at meal time,
so today two policemen were assigned
to Rockaway park to call a halt when
ever white shoulders and arms were
hared in automobiles The two Off

gone daily to the beach and there

HUERTA'S TIME SHORT.
President Wilson Plans to Read His
Message Tomorrow.

Washington, Aug 25.-President
Wilson made it plain today that unless
there was a change in the attitude of
the Huerta government within the
reXt "a hours he would carry out MS
intention to personally read to con-
SreSS tomorrow a message outlining
the policy of the United States toward
Mexico. He will discuss the message
tonight at the White House with the
entire membership of the senate for
eign relations committee and the
house foreign affairs committee. The
message is couched in very kind
the world generally ought to recognize
that the situation in Mexico is abnor-
NAL, being controlled by small group
Of men. That circumstance, the
president believes, ought not to ob-
scure~ the real feeling of the United
States toward MeXicans which is one
of generous friendship. The president
does not wish to use words of harsh
Iess or hostility.
That foreign powers generally are
exercising their good offices in Mexico
City. pressing Huerta to yield to the
American proposals, now is openly ad-
mitted by administration officials.
When questioned today whether such
participation by European govern
ments in the politics of the western
hemisphere was considered an IN
fringement upon the Monroe doctrine.
1t was pointed out by administration
conStrue an act of friendship, i'm
pairing at any time, the Monroe doc
trine. 1t was pointed out also the
activity of foreign governments was
rot due to any request by the United
States or assistance, but that this
government had decided on a policy
of keeping the nationas of the world
generally informed of the steps being
taken to bring about peace, leaving 1t
TO the countries of the world to do
spontaneously what seemed eXpedienV.
A copy of President Wilson's mes
sage will be delivered to the diplo-
matte corps here after its reading 20
congress. The document is longer
than usually has been the case with
nj 1essages from President Wilson.
When he was asked today to estimate
its length he laughingly told friends ke
had written it on a new typewriter
and could not estimate but it is
thought 1000 words. At the White
House it was said there was nothing
pending, so far as this governm ert
was concerned. which might prevent
the president from reading the mes
Sa ge tomorrow.
