Washington, D. c., Feb. 25. Snow
today invaded sections of the South
where it has not been seen before in Is

of years. New Orleans probably was
the point farthest South to report the
first there since 1903.
An area of extremely cold air and a
disturbance over the eastern part of the
Gulf of Mexico were responsible officials
of the Weather Bureau stated today
More snow was forecast in the east Gulf

CANAL TO BE OPEN ON JULY l

Washington, Feb. 81. Colonel George
Goethals said yesterday that, barring
unforeseen accidents, the Panama canal
will be open for merchant ships July l.
The colonel added that he had always
been opposed to the exemption of Amer
can coastwise shipping from the pay
ment of tolls, because that would de-
crease the revenues of the canal, and in
his opinion, would not accrue to the
benefit of consumers, but merely in
crease profits of the shipowners. The
colonel declined to discuss its legal as
pect or its bearing on treaty relations.

adequate, said the canal builder, land

ger of the canal being captured by any

DOESTOWN CLERK
HAVE TO RECEIVE
PARTY PETITIONS
Republican Speakers Declare
Nominations Must Be Filed
With Folsom.
HIS FATHER WON'T DO
AIIeae That Official Cannot DeIeqate
Right to Relative to Act in His
Capacity.

Are the nominating petitions for Of
fees in Rock Island township invalid.
because the town clerk is not in the
city to receive them personally? That
is the question which is bothering local
politicians.
! The question was brought up last
/ evening at the republican ratifying
convention at Turner hall. C. j.
Searle, Col. C. L. Walker and other at
torneys who were present, declared
that tho nominating petition of the
party would have to be filed with Shir-
ley ID. Folsom in person by Monday.
1t was brought out that Mr.. Folsom,
who is studying in Chicago, dele
gated to his father, II. ID. Folsom, the
right to act as town clerk. The law
yers declared that the official did not
have the legal power to do so and that
the law provides that the clerk must
be named by the town board, when
that official resigns, dies or moves
away.
Telegraph for Folsom.
When the opinion was expressed
that the nominating petitions must be
filed personally with Mr.. Folsom, the
convention decided to send a tele-
gram at once to that official at Chi
cago, impressing upon him the import
ance of returning to the city to re-
ceive the republican papers by Mon
day evening, which is the last day for
filing petitions. Captain w. A. Rosen-
field sent the message last evening and
an attempt will be made to have the
official here by tonight
1t is understood that the local OPP
ton petition was not in danger of be-
ing thrown out on the above grounds.
since it was filed with Mr.. Folsom
personally and contains his signature.

option league.

Whether Rock Island, Moline and

will be determined during the visit
here of T. J. Moreau, representing the
American Park Builders, who now has
an exhibit on display at the Rock Is

Chicago concern which is prepared to
almost anything in the way
OF city planning. He has visited Dav-
export and on leaving here this even
ing will go to Moline and lay his pro.
iect before the people OF that city.
The exhibit shown gives detailed
plans which have been drawn TO meet
in other localities. There
is one which is of particular interest
here which was prepared for LaSalle,
Peru and Oglesby, where the situa-
ton Is somewhat similar 10 that in the
three cities here. There the business

PEACE PREVAILS
IN POULTRY MEET
Associations Fail Again to Form
Union But Prospects Are
Bright for Action.

A meeting of the board of directors
of the Mississippi Valley Fanciers' as,
sociation was held last evening at the
Offices of DIR. o. NJ. Myers on Eigh-
teenth street Many important bust
ness matters were disposed of at this
session.
At o'clock a committee composed
of o. +. Freeman of Moline, w. H.
Kelley of Rock Island and f. c. Bon
iger left for Davenport, where they at
tended a meeting of two similar COM
mittees from the Tri-City Fanciers'
and the Iowa State association. The
entire evening was spent in the dis
cussion of affiliating to conduct the
state show to be held in Davenport in
January. Although no definite de-
cision was reached, more harmony
prevailed than in any of the former
sessions and prospects are bright for
early settlement of the project.
Tuesday night the committee will
make a report to the directors of the
Mississippi association, who will meet
on that night at DR.. Myers offices.
Next Thursday night the board of di-
rectors from each of the three so
cie;ies will meet again in Davenport
to discuss the affiliation. Every ef-
fort will be made to get a final de-
cision at this session, as all concerned
are anxious to have the question set
tied as soon as possible The meet
ing will in all probability be held at
the Commercial club.

having action taken by the city coun-
ellis The result is that scheme has
been outlined which If followed out
will undoubtedly add greatly to the
attractiveness of the cities not only
from the standpoint of beauty but of
utility also. Lincoln, Neb, is another
city which has undertaken work of
this kind.
Is Field Here.
There is no doubt that there is a
great field here for a work of this
kind The three cities are growing
rapidly, but without any general idea
of proportion. Streets are being laid
out and improved without much con-
as to the real needs of trans
portation. Railroad tracks are laid
where none should be and rail facili-
ties are being denied TO localities
which need them. Residences are be
ing built in districts which should be
reserved for industrial or business pur-
tions which viii interfere with future
residence development. Suburbs
which might be made beautiful resi-
dence districts are being cut up rather
with view of returning the most
ready money for the real estate men
than with any especial consideration
OF the future welfare of those who
make their homes there.
These are only a few of the disad-
vantages OF haphaZard growth of
cities such as is in progress here. 1t
is altogether desirable that some def
mite, comprehensive plan be adopted,
which will insure economy of effort
and money in improving and beautify-
Ing the three cities.
The problem is big one and one
that cannot be met In day or a year.
The question is not whether the Ameri-
can Park Builders or any other firm
shall he given the contract TO prepare
plans but whether the people are ready

ing announced as Partnership" Mr..
