INVESTIGATION
Chairman Adamsor NosfIes Green Of

WASHINGTON, D. c., March "a
Representative Green was informed
yesterday by Chairman Adamson of
the house committee on interstate
commerce that hearing would be
given by the committee Tuesday on
the Green resolution for an invsstiga-
ton Of the Rock Island railroad.
While this does not necessarily in
dictate that the committee will order
the Investigation, the probabilities of
an inquiry are believed to ba strong.
Judge Green will go before the COM

regarding the financial jugglery of

Archbishop Mora del Rios argument
was a strong and simple one, as it
reached the ears Of Huerta through

''Huerta has done the best he can"

Mexico, brought to light the fact
that there were certain members OF
the Catholic party in Mexico who
were recedving extensive favors from
Victoriana Huerta, Mex1co's dictatol i.
and who, in return for these favors
went so far as to lodge charges OF
meddling in politics against Arch
bishop Mora del Rio, the charges
being placed in the vatican itse'f.
On first hand information the Unit
ed Press correspondent is able to ex-
plain the activities of archbishop
Mora del Rio, which formed the basis
of the charges at Rome.
About the first of December the
archbishop began a campaign Of per-
suasion among Huerta's friends with
the object Of endeavoring to persuade
Huerta that he ought, for the sake
Of his country, to step out OF office.
This campaign was highly effective

Nichoias g. Roosevelt, Distant ReIa-
tive Of Bull Moose Leader,
Stops over Here
on His Trip.
MAKES TRIP OVER DAM
Asks Many Questions About Keokuk
and Says He Hears 1t 10
Growing
City.

Nicholas G. Roosevelt of New
York is in the city. He admits the
soft impeachment that he is a rela-
tive Of the colonels. Hs says, how
ever, that he is only a distant cous-
in of the bull moose leader who is
now in South America. Mr.. Roose-
velt's visit here was business, not
political He is not in the political
game. He is here in the interest OF
a big Philadelphia company, and this
morning made trip over the dam and
power house.
Mr.. Roosevelt is a representative
OF the firm of Day & Zimmerman.
They are experts who doctor factor
les when those institutions acquire
the spring fever in their operating
systems, and don't turn out the divi-
dends they should. His firm also
helps factories already on good
basis to acquire the maximum of ef-
ficiency.
| Mr.. Roosevelt was here on his way
from one of the big plow factories in
the west, where he has been looking
over the ground and will report on
the way in which this business can be
enlarged He stopped over In Keo-
kuk to view the big power house and
dam, and to talk over the industrial
situation with the Industrial associa-
ton officers.
Mr.. Roosevelt bears some OF the
family resemblance which is familiar
to everyone who has seen the pic
lures of the strenuous member Of
the family. He does not have the
prominent teeth, however. The fore
head and eyes show some resemblance
to the other branch Of the family,
however.
The visitor expressed no small
amount of interest In Keokuk this
morning. He inquired If this brand
OF weather was the usual kind, or If
it were a special order. He asked
about the population, and said that
he understood the city was growing
one.
There are traces Of the big biz.
zard still left in the east. according
to Mr.. Roosevelt. He said that was
one Of the biggest storms the east
has had to battle with for some time.
Mr. Roosevelt was furnished with
passes over the power horse and dam
this morning and spent the time
looking over the big engineering feat
in the river. He was greatly i'm
pressed with what he saw.

Declared.
rs COVERED BY LAW
Problem Of What to Do With tho
Pupils In White Oak and Val
10y District is
Pending.

That the proposed extension OF the
city limits, to be voted on next Mon
day, will automatically enlarge the
Keokuk school district some square
miles and require some new country
school houses in this Keokuk district
and that If the city ever contracts
again, this territory will rsmain in the
school district practically forever
was brought ont by visit Of County
Superintendent Lynn to this city last
evening.
In conversation, Superintendent
Lynn mentioned that charging city
automatically enlarges its school dis
trict, but contracting a city does not
contract the district. The law is in
section 2793 of the code emphasized
by supreme court decision found in
the 120th., Iowa 119.
Affects Two Country Districts.
This presents some difficult and
peculiar problems in school manage
ment. The proposed city limits ex-
tended go far beyond the present linn
it's Of thu independent school district
of the city of Keokuk. The new city,
if the proposition to extend the limits
carries, and the new Keokuk district,
will include part of what is now the
White Oak school and the Valley
school districts. Children there can
no longer attend the Valley or the
White Oak school and must be pro
vided for by the Keokuk district-the
stats law compels provision for con-
venient schooling for all children.
Keokuk school officers say that this
means new school houses out there.
within the new limits, or else trans
portation of pupils into Keokuk at the
cost Of the district. Prices Creek and
Hilton schools are not situated to ac-
commodate the new residents of the
city. If the limits are extended as
planned, they say.
Same Thing in the Past
This brings up some interesting his.
tory of similar character.
Back in 1857, the city limits we're
farther out than now and later were
brought in to the present lines. This
left two and a half square miles Of
country inside the Keokuk school dis
trict but outside the city. This coun-
try territory is cared for by the Hill
ton and Prices Creek schools which
have been a worry to the Keokuk
board OF education for years.
They cost out of all proportion to
the attendance or the value they give
the pupils. They can not be disposed
Of, for Jackson outside persistently
refused to take them, and they can
not be detached without the consent
of that outside board Of directors.
The peculiarly of the school law is,
that territory is acquired without any
action by the boards but can not be
Getach ed without the consent Of both
school boards concerned
The probability that the enlarge
ment of the city will enlarge the
territory, cost and troubles OF the
Keokuk school district for all time is.
