! SAILING DATE ADVANCED

The new navy collier Jason will be
the Santa Claus ship. The announce
ment was made through the Chicago
Herald today in story from John
O'Loughlin at Washington. TIE
collier is one of the newest type OF
the government craft, and will be
manned by sturdy blue jackets.
Mr.. O'Loughlin's story OF the choice
Of ship will interest the children of
Keokuk who are planning to send
their gifts that Santa Claus may come
to the children OF Europe, whose cries
are being heard above the roar OF
battle:
Children OF America, hasten with
your gifts for the Christmas ship! The
sooner you turn them in the better.
They have to be sorted and packed
and distributed among the warning
nations. This will take time.
And the ship will sail from Brook
lyn on NOV. 10.
Of course the work Of sorting and
packing and slowing will take some
days.
So you can see the need of haste.
But you have been asking:
What ship has been designated py
the secretary of the navy to convey
the gifts to Europe?"
Now I can tell you.
1t is the big, new collier, Jason, ON.
cered BY Americans and manned by
Americans.
Every one Of them Is bluejacket.
Every one OF them belongs to your
country. Every one Of them will have
a personal interest in seeing that
your gifts arrive safely at their sew
eral destinations.
Such a stout ship Is the Jason.
She belongs as much to the navy,
she is as much part Of the fighting
feet as is a battleship.
without her, and vessels OF SINH
lar type. the battleships could not
operate across the seas. It is the duty
OF these vessels to carry supplies OF
coal and oil and spare parts Of ma
chinery to points where they are
transshipped to the waiting fighting
craft.

such as the drives on both sides Of
me lake, easily shown over roads
which are not built at this time. The
,ains az last week have left some Of
the dirt roads around Keokuk In bad
shape The lake shore bouleyards on
( both the Iowa and Illinois side Of the

and automobiles had no trouble on
these roads yesterday.
Belknap boulevard and Main street

the point is reached where the ma

natural road. The highway imme-
diately becomes one on which it is
hard to drive because Of the slippery
condition of the road bed, and soft
mud allows the wheels to cut deep
ruts. It is much worse for autos
than for horse drawn vehicles. al
though it makes hard going for either.
The ideal fall day yesterday
brought out almost everybody in
Keokuk, and there were hundreds OF
machines on the street during the
day. They confined their running,
however, for the most part to the
made roads around here, and to the
city streets The drives on both sides
of the lake we're alive with machines.
There were quite a few machines
here from out Of the city, but they
all bore marks Of travelling through

Rand park was popular spot yes

benches were empty for very long at

motor boat enthusiasts took advan-

The flower beds are still beautiful
in the park and many people visited
them during the day.
While the dam still proves popu-
lar, the crowd which came here yes
terday was not as large as on some
previous Sundays, owing to the fact
that the roads were not in as good
condition and 1t was harder to make
the run. -

|BLAKE'S OPINION
ON VACCINATION
Burlington Attorney Tells School
Board He Believes II Has Right
to Order It

CITES SOME DECISIONS
This Question Arose Last Spring Dur.
Ing "scare" Here and Board
Considered Ordering
Vaccination.

The question Of whether school
board has the power to compel vacci-
nation OF children, or keep them out
OF schools IL not vaccinated, comes up
every once In awhile The question
as to whether the local school board
should order wholesale vaccination
OF the school children came up at a
board meeting last spring when there
was a small pox scare here.
The Hon. w. e. Blake of Burling-
ton, one of the attorneys for the Mis-
sissippi River Power company, has
written very comprehensive opinion
on this question as regards the Bur-
lington schools. It will be OF inter
est locally, and is given in part here.
Mr.. Blake holds that the school board
is within its province in ordering vac
cination
He says:
] am requested by your president
to give you my legal opinion concern
ing certain rule Of the school board,
to-wit: Rule 100, which reads as fol-
lows:
Rule 100-No child shall be admit
ted to the schools for the first time
unless upon satisfactory evidence
that the child is five years old and
has been vaccinated."
The particular portion of said rule
In question is as to th.e provision re-
quiring vaccination as condition Of

Many States Have Laws.

Vaccination is, by common consent,
administered with view to anchor
ate or prevent smallpox. The COM
mon belief is, as recognized by deci-
sions OF very many states, and the
supreme court OF the United States.
that vaccination has decided ten
dency to prevent the spread OF this
fearful disease. To such an extent
has this belief extended that in many
states and nations compulsory vacci-
nation is the law of the land. There
are laws concerning the matter Of
vaccination in nearly every state in
th., union encouraging, directing, and
in many states, compelling the same.
and decisions of many Of the statee
OF the union. unfolding compulsory
vaccination have been rendered. to-
wit: California. Connecticut, Indiana,
Georgia, North Carolina. Vermont,
Missouri, Pennsylvania. New York.
Minnesota and Utah, and the matter
of compulsory vaccination has been
upheld by the supreme court OF the
United States on several different oc-
casions.
There are a few states. to-wit: ILL.,
nois, Michigan. Wisconsin and pos
sibly Kansas, which have announced
opinions not in harmony with the
above views, but even the opinions Of
these states are based principally on
the fact that no statutory authority
existed, and concede that il such
statutory authority had existed, their
ruling would have been different.

NATIONAL PREPARES
FOR LEGAL BATTLE

NEW YORK, Jan. 3O.-A conference
was held at the National league offices
today. al which the legal status OF the
war between organized baseball and the
Federal league was thoroughly discussed.
The meeting was attended by Attorney
General John c Rell of Pennsylvania,
personal counsel for Governor John K.
Tener president Of the National league
John c. Toole, attorney for the National
league. John a. Heydlsr secretary of the
league. and Leroy Reeves, secretary to
President Tener.
The legality OF the old and new forms
OF National league contracts was dis
cussed, Mr.. Toole drew up the new con-
tract two years ago, and Mr. Bell ex-
pressed his opinion that the clause by
which player is paid 20 per cent Of his
salary ae an option on his services the
following year would hold In any court
Both lawyers asserted that the reserve
clause was legal and constitutional and
would be upheld by any Jurst, In tae
event that ii shall be necessary to take
legal action, the lawyers said, the case
will be taken TO the highest court In the
United States, and they were positive
that the supreme court would hold the
reserve clause valid and uphold organized
baseball.
The Killifer case was discussed and the
National league is prepared TO go to any
length TO prevent the Chicago Federals
from trying to get tAe catcher away from
the Philadelphia club, II was said
