ANTHONY TALKS
ON BUILDING DAM.
Engineer Makes Speech Before the
Clinton Commercial Club and
Relates Some interesting
Details Of Work.
NAVIGATION TROUBLES
Believes These Occurred Before the
Company Learned to Regulate
Flow Of Water for
Level stage.

H. F. Anthony, one Of the engineers
on the Keokuk dam, made an address
before the Commercial club of Clinton
Friday in which he spoke OF the con-
struction OF the big monolith and
gave number Of interesting details.
In regard to the complaints of steam
boat men. Mr.. Anthony is quoted as
having said some of the complaints
were we'll founded but that the trou-
Bile had occurred before the problem
of regulating the flow OF water had
been successfully worked out. He
considered that problem now would
not cause further trouble.
|, Mr.. Anthony gave a history of the
FKeokuk dam project from the time
the subject was preached sixty years
ago by General Robert G.. Lee to the
present time. The franchise was
granted by the government in 1905
and Engineer Hugh L. Cooper under
took to finance the company, the first
work being done in January, 1910, at
ter the Mississippi River Power COM
|pany had been financed by eastern
and European capital. On May 81,
1913, the last bucketful of concrete
was poured in the great dam, which
has a total length of 1850 feet,
height OF fifty-three feet and width at
the base of forty-two feet.
GirdIe Earth Thrice.
Were 60-watt Mazda lamps to be
placed 100 feet apart, Mr. Anthony
said, the plant would be able to light
8 girdle three times around the earth.
Power is being delivered now to Keo-
Ikuk, Fort Madison, Burlington, Quin-
Icy, Hannibal and ST. Louis. Discuss
ling the effect of the dam on naviga-
tion he said that where steamers for
merly passed through three locks IN
passing the Des Moines rapids, they
now pass through one in about one
quarter the time, and the deep water
in Lake Cooper makes it possible for
them to save about an hour between
Keokuk and Burlington.
The government receives, he said,
the new lock and dry dock capable
|of handling the largest steamers that
will be afloat on the river In years,
the improvements built at a cost of
IS1,Oo0,0O0 to the company. If the whole
were capitalized, he declared, it would
mean about a 100000 investment
for the government. Discussing the
economic effect, he declared that
cheap power is one of the biggest at
fractions for Industrial plants and as

ARTILLERY
ASSAILS COURT IN
I HAW CASE AGAIN
Arguments Heard Before Su-
preme Court in Final Battle
Over Extradition of Slayer
From New Hampshire.

WASHINGTON. Dec. Illegal ar
tnlery of Harry X. Thaw and the state
of New York was today directed
against the United States supreme
court in the final battle over the eX-
tradition of the slayer of Stanford
White from New Hampshire to New
York to stand trial for conspiracy in
his escape from the Matteawan in
sane asylum.
Thaw's battery consisted of Phil
ander G. Knox, former United States
attorney general and former secretary
of state. retained especially to eX-
pound the constitutional questions in
the case. former Gov. William A.
Stone of Pennsylvania and George r.
Morris and Merrill Shurtleff attorney
from New Hampshire.
New York demands that Thaw be
extradited and and the reasons for ii
We're explained by William Trayers Je-
rome, who has been Identified with the
ThaW case from the start
The case is before the supreme court
on an appeal by the state of New
York from rulings of Federal Judge
Aldrich of New Hampshire, sustain
ing ThaW's appeal for a writ of habeaS
corpus and declaring invalid the eX-
tradition process reSOrtcd TO by New
York to secure Thaw's removal from
New Hampshire. The big legal ques-
ton in the case concerns the validity
of these extradition proceedings.
Jerome argued that the eXtraditiOn
process was regular that it infringed
upon none OF Thaw's rights and that
the state of New York had shown
clearly that the proposed extra dition
was for the purpose of Furnishing
crime-conspiracy. He declared that
the federal courts haG no right TO
enter into the motives of a state in
extraditiOn proceedings and asked the
supreme court TO reverse Judge Al
drichs ruling.
Knox asserted the eXtraditiOn
papers on their face were invalid be-
cause they did not show that Thaw
was a fugitive from crime. Instead
they showed that Thaw was a fugitive
from the custody of New York, a
thing that could not serve as the basis
of ,eXtradition.
Former GOV. Stone argued that as
FAR as the courts of New York were
concerned. Thaw legally has been de-
clared insane, hence he could not be
extradited He asked the court to
dismiss the appeal of the state of New
York.

BRITISH REpEL GERMAN
ATTACK ON DOVER. SINK
ONERAIDING SUBMARINE

LONDON, Dee. 11.--Dispatches
from Dover state that in the attack
made by the German submarines yes
terday at least one of the German
vessels was sunk and possibly more
The Star prints the following dis
patch describing the German attack
on Dover:
For nearly half an hour the guns
protecting the eastern entrance to
the Dover naval harbOr were engaged
in repelling a German submarine at
tack. A submarine had been sighted
off the western entrance at 20 min
utes to 5, but it was frightened off by
the first shot that was fired at it by
one of the big guns. Before further
shots could be discharged the un-
welcome visitor had disappeared.
Just after 6:3O a second attempt
was made by the German submarines
to force a passage. Several of the
underwater craft were then engaged
in an effort TO enter the harbOr
through the eastern passage.
British warships lying at anchor
in the harbOr were undoubtedly the
real object of attack The weather
conditions at the time were favorable
to the attacking forces. The morn
ing was very dark with fog and rain

falling which obscured the view Of the
gunners in the forts.
The effect Of the fire from the
land batteries was keenly watched
under the glare of searchlights which
swept the harbor, and the outside
seas from piers and the breakwaters.
AS soon as the first shot gave the
alarm great activity developed on
board the torpedo boat destroyer
FlOtil!a, and they quickly steamed out
to sea in search Of the daring Ger
man submarines.
Meanwhile the guns from the bat
teries from the eastern piers were
keeping up shot fire directed at the
surface of the water all around the
spot where the perescopes of the at
tacking vessels had been seen. More
than 100 rounds of shells were fired
in all The gunncrs attached TO this
battery claim to have sunk at least
one of the submarines and TO have
hit three of the invading craft. They
declared that there must have been
at least six submarines in the flotilla
but the German visitors were unable
TO do any damage. The cannonade
threw the town into a panic, as the
residents Immediately surmised that
the long expected German raid was
under way.

Warsaw Now Threatened

Headquarters reports that the Ger
mans have made no progress in Fland-
ers, but to the east and the west of
the Argonne forest the enemy's artil-
Iery positions have been attacked
with good results.
The official report continued:
1.-TWO French attacks in the forest

Mousson were repulsed.

Fighting i'm Streets.
Fierce hand-to-hand lighting has
been in progress in the streets Of
Lowicz, Poland. for II hours and the
Germans are in complete control of
the outskirts of this important rail-
road center. says a dispatch received
from Breslau.
This news, together with the Ger
man successes north of the Nistula led
Berlin military authorities today to
predict that Warsaw would soon be
attacked from two directions. They
say that in this eVentuality the Rus
slams probably will evacuate Warsaw.
The fall of Warsaw would open the
way for the investment and capture of
Novo Georgievsk, which would leave
the Germans master of western and
northwestern Poland, and remove all
possibilities of the Russians making
any blow at Thorn. The lul in the
fighting east Of the MaZurian lakes in
dicates that the Russians there have
been weakened in order TO reinforce
the forces in western Poland.
