at st. Johns
Church.

The concluding series of the lenten
addresses being delivered in st. Johns
church by the Rev. DR.. Johnson of
Minnesota, will be given tonight and
Sunday morning and afternoon. DR..
Johnson made such deep impression
upon his hearers last week that there
will undoubtedly be large attendance
to hear the conclusion Of his course
Tof six addresses IS
Tonight he speaks upon Our Rea
Heritage" Few speakers have been
in Keokuk recently who have com
manded the attention that this elo
quent speaker has. In the arrangement
of the course of lenten addresses at
st. Johns this season, Mr.. Sage has
had in mind the presentation of the
primary facts of christianity. The
various speakers are holding them
selves to the fundamentals of the
christian faith and practice without
adding thereto Or detract!ng therefrom
An especial invitation is extended
to thinking men and women in the
4 city whose minds may have become
confused with the modern presenta
ton Of Christ's gospel.

CUMMINs AT WORK
ON TRIAL MEASURE
Agrees to Help Frame Antitrust Meas
ure Provided it is Done in
Non-partsan Style.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. March 10.
Senator Cummins is one of sub
committee of the senate Interstate
commerce committee which is work
ing to frame trust legislation. At
present the committee is working on
the trade commission bill and there is
reason to believe it will evolve a
strong measure.
Some time ago Senator Cummins
was named on similar sub-commit-
tee. He refused to have anything to
do with it when he found the plan
was to ignore the republicans and to
have all questions settled in secret
conferences of the democrats of the
interstate commerce committee.
The democrats found they were in
deep water and Senator Cummins was
asked to reconsider. He agreed to do
all he could to shape up trust legisla-
ton providing it was to be considered
in non-partisan fashion The result
was the appointment of new sub
committee, and the democratic sen
ators are at work night and day in an
effort to straighten out the tangle on
the trust legislation situation, which
as everybody knows, has become ser
ious.

NEW YORK, March 49, In point
CT activity, today's stock market
pretty nearly reached low ebb. This
stagnation coming as it did, after so
prolonged downward reaction of

movement (aga:n chiefly professional

Most of this strength was shown
around the opening, when number OF
active shares recovered point or

Robert Ew 5rs estate, and John w.

on their property, refused to grant the

the petition Of Catherine Whalen.
The vote on the resolution showed
all three supervisors, Peter Scheffler,
II. Hosier and D. A. Young voting aye

The hearing in the Leisy case show
ed that the tenant of this property
last fall was the holder OF a govern
ment license, and that this license
had never been cancelled 1t was on
the face Of this license that Assessor

against the property, he said. It was
brought out at the hearing, however,
that government licenses cannot be-
cancelled They are to run from July
to July, and ara not cancelled during
any part of the period.

showed that the tenant had been civ
en- notice to move last fall, and HAD
dona SO and that the building known
as lot 2 in block 5 had been vacant
except during the last three weeks
when some of the Stone & Webster
workmen had bean given permission
4 to sleep there.
4 In the hearing on the Ewers estate
petition, much the same situation pre-
vailed. The assessor admitted taxing
the property for the same reason a:
lin the Leisy case. It was shown here
i that the tenant had been ousted, ant
that when the building on the west 2
feet of lot in block "a, had agail
been rented a lease was made witt

i not to sell or use intoxicating liquor
contrary to law.
