vhen the tickets collected by the
tjcket takers were counted, It was
ascertained that there were but 646
persons on the boat. Any boat that
carries 600 persons this year has a
bie crowd There have been only a
very few out Of Quincy that have
had 600 or more. The largest crowd
was at the street car mems moon

boat had q total OF 942. Every Sun
+ day the Keokuk and Black Hawk have
excursions to Keokuk, and often 9TH
er boats have made Sunday trips to
| the Dam City. But all day Sunday
excursions out of Keokuk have been
scarce, and the Moose's crowd was
the seasons largest, SO the visiting
Moose claimed.
The Hill landed here at 1910
o'clock. At the landing, was a recep.
ton committee of about twenty-five
members Of the Quincy lodge Of Moose
to welcome the visitors and escort
the Keokuk Moose and their families
to the local Moose hall. The COM

beef roast lunch was served, 100
pounds roast with trimmings having
been prepared In advance in antici-
patton OF a big crowd. The LADIES
were served with icescream and cake.
After dinner, the visitors ewere enter
timed NTH musical program follow
ed by dancing There were about 200
at the hall. The others from the Hill
went to hotels, restaurants and lunch

spent the afternoon at the Soldiers

tire afternoon here as the boat did not
start back until o'clock.
The Wisherds went aboard the boat
for the afternoon, and today H. Ed

bis former position on the Hill as
purser, his nephew Rollin Wisherd
also going on the boat az clerk. Both
were on the Hill last season and again
this season until the Majestic was
ready for service when they were
transferred to the new boat. Both
were on the Majestic when 1t sank
and as the boat may not be in SER
vice again this year, both win resume
their former duties on the Hill. Mon
day night, the Hill was scheduled to
have moonlight excursion. out Of
Fort Madison and from there will go
north. All Of the Majestic's excur-
sons for the last half Of June and
Of July have been cancelled and those

started West, on their way to Oak
land, Cal, to be married. Back of
this simple statement is the story of
a real romance; the fairy-tale type
which always ends happily after
many vicissitudes.
Years ago these two young folks
we're boy and girl sweethearts in
Jemtland, a little Swedish town with
in the Arctic circle. When they grew
up they both left their native country
and practically lost track of each
other A short while ago each re-
turned to little Jemtland for visit.
And they met again! She had
come all the way from her present
prosperous home in Oakland, Cal. He
travelled across from London.
Because the rosy-cheeked Swedish
maid declines to live anywhere ex-
cept in the United States, Gustav has
given up his home in London and is
journeying, together with Miss Mas
and seven trunks of homemade
Swedish house linen, to the Pacific
coast to be married there.

Ford Says He Is Not in Position to Talk on the Subject of
 Discussion

That he was not in position to state what agreement had been reached
 in New York as to the ridewater street railways using the lines of the Br- mingham Railway, Light and Power company, and that he could not fore tell when a communication on that sub ject would be addressed to the city commission. was the statement of A. H. Ford president of the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power company, yesterday upon his return from New York
 He was accompanied home by Lee c. Bradley. vice president of the com pany. and it's general counsel They met in the metropolis George Bullock, head of the controlling company and others interested in street railway lines here, including Fred Morris of Morris Brothers. and George l. Brown, pres ident and vice president respectively of the Tidewater
 MT. Ford said that the conference of officials of the two lines was for the purpose of talking over the mat ter of amicably adjusting the question of compensation which may be charged the Tidewater by the Birmingham Rail way, Light and Power company for the use by the former of the downtown tracks of the latter. MT. Ford said that he was unwilling at this time to make any statement as to the result of the conference or what had been agreed upon, if anything. It is stated that the conference In New York between the officials of the two competing lines was held with the cordial approval of the city commissioners. who are anx- ious that the two sets of officials agree as to the terms of compensation which must be paid to the Birmingham Rail way, Light and Power company if the Tidewater uses the tracks of the for mer company. The commissioners would be forced In the event they started to adjust the matter of compensation to spend considerable time and no little money in an effort to arrive at cor rect basis

LETTERS TO EDITOR
'Tis Up to the Voter

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Interest in the Alabama primary election between Underwood and Hobson for sem atorial honors extends beyond the limits of the state, because of probable future contingencies to the south These two aspirants should stand alone upon their record as members of the lower house. If the individual voter can measure up to the responsible duties placed upon him, then the primary system of choosing senator and President will work out all right. There are certain problems that pertain to the statesmanship of the nation, and there are other questions than come with in the legislation of the different states. Female suffrage and prohibition are state issues. We personally favor these two problems, but do not believe in filing suit in the wrong court"
 By reason of many years of long and close friendship for Billie Boyd" the father of Romaine Boyd. we would be glad to see the son elected to the supreme court. We know more of the life history of Romaine's father than any one living. Private Billie Boyd" of Company c, Fourth Alabama infantry. was little fellow. but every inch soldier. After the war we were room-mates. Pure fin thought and act. cheerful and suave, he made the voyage of life. and went over to the great majority A. F. KENNEDY.

CONTEST OVERTRASH|
 CANS GROWS WARM l
Merchants on Both Sides of the Question Are Very
 Active

Probably never in the history of Birmingham has as insignificant an ar ticle as trash can stirred up as much new trash cans which the city commis sioners are considering installing.
 The activity among the merchants in both directions. for and against the new cans, is little less than the rush of perfectly healthy political can didate at the present. Added impetus to the melee was given by the state ment of John E. Shelby in yesterday mornings Age-Herald. Mir. Shelby stated yesterday he was sorry he had unwittingly stirred up such commo- tion, but that he had merely given his own personal views in the matter and he had as much right to his views as anybody else. Some merchants yester- day told MT. Shelby he had made mis- take and many others congratulated him on his good sense.' The trash can campaign has almost overshadowed the gubernatorial campaign, as far as the local merchants are concerned
 Members of the city commis ssion gave assurance yesterday that they had no desire whatever to ram the trash cans down anybody's throat" If the people don't want the cans the commits sioners are not going to force them on to them, although two members of the commission believe that the cans are a very good thing in every way. These same two commissioners, how ever are still of the opinion that 8. majority of the merchants are not Op- posed and they are patiently waiting "to be shown
