Chairman Adamscn, In the following
special telegram sent to the Dayen-5

tlmated that the ,Keokuk Inter City
Bridge Co. will not be granted the
right to construct bridge across the
Mississippi at Keokuk, and is also
said to have made the statement that
the bridge company already here will
either have to build bridge sufficient
to meet all modern requirements or
get out of the river. The following
telegram Is sent to the Davenport

WASHINGTON d. c., Feb. 3.-Rep-
resentatiye Tayenner OF Illinois again
is commanding the attention OF con.
gress in the consideration of one Of
his ideas.
Taking advantage Of the numerous
complaints received against the Keo-
kuk power dam, Mr.. Tayenner shortly
will introduce q resolution for an In
yestigation OF the feasibility OF having
the government erect a commercial
power dam across the mississippi
somewhere between Davenport and
Rock Island or Moline.
80 into the power business, Mr. Tav-
enner feels certain of winning the
support OF all active conservationists
in congress, In view of the fact that
these latter oppose the granting OF
any more private franchises for power
dam construction across navigable
waters. Unless the government adopts
policy of experimenting the gener
| ating of power more strictly than in
the past, or continues to grant pri
vate franchises. there will be no de
selopment of power sites unless the
government goes into the business it
self.
During last congress, the late Repre-
4 sentative ISPpei vi iuMd lItlUuuCcu
bill granting power rights at the tri
cities to the Great Northern Develop
ment Co. This bill was beaten be
cause of the opposition of the con
servationists to the granting Of furth
er power privileges to private con
Germs without some remuneration TO
the government.
AT the time, engineers who had in
vestigated the tri-city scheme de
clared it was the best site obtainabl'

Korea Is Losing Its Picturesqueness

way of rebellion. But there remain
some strong feelings among the func-
tionaries of the old regime who have
ben thrown out of Office, and among
the young student class, which Is per-
vaded with an interest in politics like
that found among students in Japan
proper Neither of the opposing
forces, however, have as yet given
that opposition any concrete form.
Among the missionary workers,
those of the Presbyterian Church of
the United States are at present con-
spicuous by increasing their ctivity.
A recent report accounted for 1913
Presbyterian missionaries in the
Korean field and also showed that the
evangelical work is carried on by
fiftythree native ordained ministers
and by 219 unordained preachers
in 134 organized and 1,135 unorganized
churches. 1t Is said that in the field
of 100000 population where the
Presbyterlans have been carrying on
their work 100000 have Joined the
church.
The denomination has established. a
theological seminary with 204 stu
dents, medical school with seventy
seven students, six boarding schools
for boys, four similar institutions for
girls, and 402 primary schools, with
an enrolment of over 5000 boys and
nearly 1000 girls
All of the American missionaries
are exertlng themselves in the prac-
tical education of youths, including
manual training, and it is this phase
of their work which is most satisfac-
tory to both the Koreans and jap
anese, who see in it the first step
toward industrial prosperity.

ANOTHER HENNEssY FAILURE.

Senator Hennessys skill in the manufacture Of
legislative bills has under serious suspicion
Whatever comes from his hands in a legislative way
seems to be full of holes. His Home Rule COM
mission act holes big enough to drive horse and
cart through in the courts for the judges to
wrestle with, and various commission governments
are waiting to see how really bad the law is
The Bergen Senator is also the sponsor for the
voting law which was first tried in lrv-
ington on Tuesday. 1t happened that out of all the
candidates no single one got majority The alleged
intent the law when it passed was to get the
majority sentiment of the voters, which is seldom
had in an election of more than two candidates.
If this is the intent of the Hennessy law the object
signally failed in the Iryington election. majority
of the votes poed would be 9S7 votes, and the high
est candidate got combined vote of only S22 and
the lowest candidate GIG.
In another respect the law proved failure. The
alleged intent break down partisan lines. But
all the highest candidates Republicans, showing
that political partsanshp rife as in any other
election.

sLANDER OF PUBLIC OFFICIALS.

How far deliberate misrepresentation amount
ng to gross SANDER of public officials go without
criminal penalties is question that may well be
tested by the members of the Kearny Town Council,
although the purpose of assaults of this character
uuon them by men connected with the Commission
Government League was signay defeated in the
special election on Tuesday. Criminal action is con-
templated.
But slander of individual officials is still not as
bad as slander of whole community and the smirch-
Ing of the fair fame of a city This is not Grim
inaly indictabe offense and hence it safely be
resorted to- Newark has had some experience of this
kind of SANDER
Newark's financial credit has been unscrupu-
Iousy attacked, Newark morals have been malgned
snd the city has been held up to the scorn of the
outside world by a few with objects to serve
Their ISLANDERS have been dished up day after day
by Newark newspaper dependent for its existence

The long and laborious gathering of petition sig
lures by hired canyassers for commission gov
ernment has been prosecuted by those who have
been active deamng the city and there will doubt
less soon be a recrudescence of the abuse in the
recent past which, while failed of its purpose, hurt
the reputation of the city abroad

will be similar rebuke In special election in New

Natural Phenomena

and evaporates as if by magic; wood
work becomes as dry as tinder. and
great precautions are necessary to
prevent the occurrence of the dis
astrous fires known as "fohn fires"
that often destroy whole towns and
villages No cooking is permitted
while the fohn is blowing, and not
even a pipe or a cigarette may be
lighted. Many persons suffer with
fohn sickness whenever this wind
prevails. The chinook of the west
ern United States is similar in char
acter and origin to the fohn.
Over the water of the Bay of Cha
leur, in Canada, a mysterious phe-
nomenon known as the "fireship" is
sometimes seen by night. 1t is a
roughly hemispherical mass of lu-
minosity, with it's fiat side to the
water, but sometimes it rises in slen-
der moving columns that resemble
the flaming rigging of a ship. 1t
is supposed to foretell a storm. No
satisfactory explanation of this phe-
ncmenon has ever been given.
Andes lightning" is the name
given to very striking luminous
discharge of electricity seen over the
crest of the Andes, in Chill; in a.
region where ordinary thunderstorms
are almost unknown. The mountains
appear to act as gigantic lightning
rods, between which and the clouds
silent discharges take place on
vast scale.

Modernization has begun to make
itself felt in Korea. American visi-
tors will find the white-robed Korean
with his sparse black beard, his ma
jestlc walk and stovepipe hat still
moving picturesquely through the
wide streets of Seoul ceaselessly puff
fling his long bamboo pipe, but the
general life of the city has lost much
of its languor and ease. A new energy
has sprung up since the arrival of
the Japanese.
The immediate problems of the
Japanese administration concern edu-
cation and the arranging of employ
ment for the people. The correspond
ent of the Associated Press was re-
Gently informed by the Japanese au-
thorities that the government was
greatly in debt to the American mis-

government is pushing forward the

The government will erect a new
set of buildings for it's offices on the
grounds of the old North Palace. AL
though the principal Imperial Korean
buildings there will be preserved a
number of the smaller historic struc-
lures will be razed to give additional
space and to eliminate expensive up

A Man S Paradise

William K. Vanderbilt, jr., had a
very interesting motor trip through
Northern Africa He reports that it is
an ideal country for winter touring,
full of picturesque scenes and people
and sufficiently off the beaten track
to have piquancy. This is the way
he describes some of his excursions
there in the Journal of the Automo-
bile Club of America:
During our journey across the
plain we met numerous bands of
Bedoujns and several large caravans.
On one occasion, when passing one of
these caravans, an amusing incident
occurred. A camel, on which was
seated a majestic-looking Arab was
pleased to take fright at the car and
performed a waltz, spinning round at
a tremendous pace two or three times.
The rider stuck gamely to his seat,
but in a few seconds the inevitable
happened and he was ANONYMOUSLY
flung from his lofty saddle.
THE Arab was not hurt. This in
cident occurred in Tunis, in which a
run of 1926 klometers was made in
fourteen hours and twenty minutes
without any casualties save the kill
ing of a bird, which was struck in
flight by the radiator of the car.
THE Arab women" says Mr. Van
derbilt, wear white garment known
as a haik. which covers them from
head to foot, with thick black veil
entirely concealing the features with
the exception of the eyes. The face
is never to be seen. The Bedouin
women appear to pay rather less at
tention to the actual garments, being
dressed usually in rags, with a
bright-colored bandana handkerchief
as headgear Bracelets, rings, ear

WHY non DO RACK no Bows AND ARRows?

Nothing could show in clearer light the utterly
visionary notions of people who expect to abolish
by the whereas and resolved process than the sugges
prohibit the of flying machines and airshps
in warfare. Ar-fghting is going to be the very
of the next conflict between great nations and every
important power has put its best thought and hun
dreds of millions of dollars into preparation for the
battles of the air. The Hague doctrinares now sug
gest that the worlds costly air fleets planned to
utonize the art of and built up after years of
study and at the sacrifice of hundreds of lives be
thrown into the Junk heap. Why not suggest that
gunpowder also be forbidden by unanimous consent
and that fight if fight they must, with battleaxes
pixies bows and arrows?

eighteenth century. AS a young girl
she was forced into a marriage with
"fat, snuffy, sulky, quarrelsome,
siXty-year- man." instead of be-
ing permitted to marry the penniless
young man whom she really loved.
Fortunately for Mrs. Delaney her
quarrelsome husband died when she
was twenty-four, and, fortunately for
the many literary men she aided, this
quarrelsome old man left her a large
fortune. Thereafter Mrs. Delaney
spent her time and energy in cultir
waiting the literary society of the day.
and so successful was she at this
chosen pursuit that she probably
learned to be thankful that she had
married the old man who had given
her the wherewithal for her activi-
ties.
Among Mrs. Delaney's most famous
friends were Dean Swift, the poet
Pope and Burke, who speaks of her
after her death as the 'rFairest model
of female excellence of the days that
are past" But Mrs. Delaney was O.
true English woman at heart and she
always took greater pride in her
slight acquaintance with King George
III. than in all her literary friend
ships, and the fact that that monarch
sometimes referred to her as my
dear Mrs. Delaney" filled her loyal
heart with joy. In token of his re.

age a house at Windsor and pen

PRAYERS AS A RAILROAD INVESTMENT

One of the mysterious items of expense on the
books of the New Haven road. as disclosed in the
Commerce Commission inquiry, is S3S1.9O for
5 900 prayers. Former Vice-Presdent Byrnes could
not explain it, he admitted that the bill was paid
The incident naturally brought forth the facetious
remark that probably the company needed a great
deal of praying for.
1t is certain that the payment was not intended
for the benefit of the widows and orphans, owners of
the New Haven stock who we're so pitilessy plum
dered for the plundering going on when the
prayers bill was rendered and paid
Other testimony, however makes it appear that

bogus associations to the Legislature for legislation

sentiment bought and paid for. is a familiar device

S5OO,OOO Pipe

Among the royal treasures of Per-
sia is a pipe set with diamonds, ru-
bies and emeralds to the value, 1t is
estimated, of no less than s5OO,0OO.
This pipe was made for the late shah
and is said to be even more valuable
than his famous sword
In the matter of swords it is said
that the Gaekwar of Baroda. who, on
the occasion of the coronation of
George V. in India, added to his fame
by snubbing the monarch, possesses
the most precious blade in existence.
Its hilt and belt are encrusted with
diamonds rubies, sapphires and en-
eralds, and it's value has been put at
81, 000,0
There are many costly swords in
the treasure rooms of Eastern and
European rulers, notably those of the
Car of Russia, the Sultan of Tur-
key and the King of Siam, but the
sword of the Gaekwar outshines them
all. The most valuable sword in Eur
ope is that presented by the Egypt
ians to Lord Wolseley. The hilt is
set with brilliants and the whole sa-
Der is estimated to be worth $4,000.
The Maharajah of Ghened is the
owner of the most costly brougham

doors are of solid gold, while the rest
of the vehicle is of silver.
The new Emperor of Morocco came

as It appeared that the former
emperor firmly refused to trust them
to the care of his camels, which
formed the only other available
means of transport. This expensive
musical instrument was made prin-
cipally of tulip and orris woods
inlaid with unpublished jacaranda
parquetry and decorated with scroll
work of pure gold. The actual sun
paid for it was $4,000.

has fallen and the problem Immediately faces the ad-

It was the conviction of strategists that navy
should have occupied both Vera Cruz and Tampico.
Our provocation occurred the latter port, and it
would have been logical step to take it.
With the two seaports in our possession the frat
ricdal bloodshed yesterday would have been spared,
we could have had command of the Mexican custom
houses and therefore control of foreign supplies
without blockade and we would then be in good
position to deal with Carranza
