War In Europe and Mine Strikes In
the West Reasons for Expect
Ing Much Crime
This Winter.
CONDITION IS GENERAL
Police Departments In All Parts OF
the Country Preparing for IN
usually Bad
Winter.

That there will be more crime In
this country this winter than ever
before and that Keokuk will get its
share of 1t, is the opinion OF CHIEF
Kenney who says that police depart
ments the country over are preparing
for it as far as possible. The war in
Europe and the mining strikes during
the past year are given as reasons
for this belief
Thousands Of men will be out OF
work during the winter and many OF
these men will have to steal to live,
is the opinion Of many officials.
There is little we can do to pre-
pare for It," said Chief Kenney In
talking yesterday about the. expected
conditions this winter. I'VE expect
many more than the usual number OF
"sleepers and tramps." Chief KenneJ
plans to keep officers stationed In the
railroad yards and it will be the duty
Of these men to prevent tramps from
getting OF trains and stopping here.
BY preventing tramps from stop
ping over in this city 1t is hoped by
the police that what crimes are COM
mitted here during the winter will be
the work OF "local TALENT
Every winter the 1ails in this city
are filed with "sleepers." These are
made up OF professional tramps as
well as men who are willing but I'M
able to secure employment. Last win
ter there were as high as eighty OF
these men at one time in the county
jail Often the city jail was filed to
capacity. These men are given an
evening and morning meal, place
to sleep during the night, and then
are sent on their way the next morn
ing.
The "open season" for sleepers has
not yet started but the first really
cold weather will bring them out in
big numbers. Many OF the real no
boes are already on their way south
and if the weather were colder would
frequently be seen at the local police
station.

A cyclone visited Clark county
Monday night, passing over strip
of territory to the east and west OF
Kahoka. In fact there appears to
have been two cyclones, both coming
from the southwest. The big wind
on the south and east commenced its
work of destruction at the home OF
VIM Owens. south of kahoka, where
u large barn was completely demol-
ished and some minor damage done.
Passing on to the northeast to the
farm Of G w. Andrews several stacks
OF hay were scattered to the winds
and fences blown down. From here
Jump was maze to the VIM. Pol
lcck farm just south OF Clark City,
where large barn was completely de-
stroyed. portions Of the structure be-
ing scattered for great distance.
The house was not damaged. From
here it struck the two story brick
residence Of Samuel Brown. The roof
was carried away and the east ana
vest walls knocked out, leaving the
south and north walls of the resi-
dence standing. Mr.. Brown was in
the kitchen, a one-story structure,
reading, and was compelled to scale
the walls to make his escape. His
wife and a girl who makes her home
with them, were in the east front
room, and while badly frightened,
were uninjured. The residence OF

away, was turned about-ope-fourth way

Long Faced Louis
Stood on the Corner

streets two years ago. Louis spends
most OF his time standing on the cor
ner. Louis was all broken up. He
pointed out the ruins Of the old Ma
sonic building and bewailed that keo-l
kuk was NO GOOD. He was positive
that one-story frame building would
be built over the ruins. That was
why he was so sad.
LONG FACED LOUIS was standing
on the postoffice corner two years
ago. He. pointed out the old medi-
cal college building and bewailed that
Keokuk was NO GOOD. He could
hardly keep from crying when he
looked at the old vacant building.
AS THE STORY BOOK SAYS:
Two long, bitter years passed by"
It is 1914 and Long Faced Louis again
stands on the corner of Fourth and
Main. He squints his eyes at the
new seven story Hotel Iowa. Does It
look good to him? 1T DOES NOT
He Just knows that every room Is not
occupied He just knows that the
hotel is too big for the town. He has
ONE HUNDRED OBJECTIONS

BUT NOT ONE KIND WORD.
HE HAS FORGOTTEN that he pre-
dicted a one-story frame fire trap.
But he HAS NOT FORGOTTEN how
to knock.
/ SAME THIiJG OVER when Louis
gazes at the new Masonic building
At Seventh and Blondeau. Where once
he bemoaned the old medical college
building, he now takes no pride in
the handsome building which has
taken its place. He is TOO SMALL
TO appreciate the change for the bet
ter that has been made.
JUST SO with every change for the
better which has taken place in Keo-
kuk during the past few years. JUST
so with many a man whose name is
not LONG FACED LOUIS. They are
blind to the actual conditions. They
base their knowledge, opinion and ap-
probation Of their home town, not by
the ACTUAL FACTS but upon

about the school enrolment Being an
actual proof Of an increase In popu-
lation. And yet K. N. o. is q high
school graduate and passed high In

1873 more children attending school,
means more population, or any i'm.

WHAT WE WANT is more men,
not school children" he exclaimed. Rest
easy K. N. o. It Is a wellknown
fact that wherever children are found,
there usually will be at least few
men hanging around. You might as
well argue: What we want is dol

ANTI-RACE BILL
SURE TO PASS
Complete Wiping Out of
Gambling in Maryland
Now Seems Likely.
OPPOSE HAVRE DE GRACE
Hartford County Citizens Protest
Against Track-Certain to Put
Through Hall Bill.
OPPOSE HAVRE DE GRACE
SPECIAL to The Washington Herald.

SleNlal 10 lue N4-llngt0n hGraiu-
Annapolis. Nd. Feb. S.-The Hall bill.
which provides for the complete wiping
out OF race track gambling in the State,
next Monday by the house judiciary
chances are about even that IL will be
passed.
The Trippe and Hammond bills. which
provide for the establishment of a State
racing commission to have control and
regulation of all tracks in the State. will
be held uP. it is said. pending action
on the Hall bill.
Senator Williams. Of Cecil County. to-
day introduced in the senate a bill TO
abolish race track gambling. which is
drawn along the lines of the Hughes Iaw
OF New York. The bill is practically the
same as the Hall bill. Mr.. Hall, in per-
pairing the latter measure, also followed
the Hughes law.
There also were presented in the sen
ate this morning two memorials pro-
testing against the Havre De Grace race
track. One of them was signed by citi-
Zens of Hartford County.
Much surprise is being expressed at
the possibility, almost the probability
that the Hall bill will be passed by the
house without much OF a fight.
After the Hail bill shall have been dis
posed Of in one way or another-and
il is bv no means certain that his bill
will not be passed-will come the DISPOSE
ton OF the Trippe and Hammond's bills.
If the Hall bill is beaten II is likely that
there will be a merging OF the other
two bills and that a very serious ef-
fcrt will be made to pass them.

Giants and was opposed by Jim Scott.
Later Death Valley James was sue
ceeded by Joe Benz with Andy Slight,
who belongs to Des Moines. of the West
ern League. back of the bat. Otherwise
the lineup for both sides was the same
as other games on the trip.
Praise from London Press.
The Daily Mirror tomorrow morning
is saying that Londoners succumbed to
the magnetism of the game and all the
papers are enthusiastic in their praises
of the spectacle.
Bill KLEIN, standing back of the bat,
unterrified by whizzing balls, attracted
special note. Now and then during the
game some Americans would forget them
selves far enough to suggest killing Bill
in true Polo Ground style, while other
comments that he was rotten seemed
TO give our consins quite laugh.
The fielding stunts were the biggest hit
of the whole game, two double plays by
the Giants getting a big hand. This was
the first game of professional baseball
England has witnessed in twenty-five
years, or since the visit of Anson, Spald-
ing and their players.

Special to The Washington Herald.
Savannah. Ga, Feb. 26.-Connie
Mack. manager of the worlds cham
piOns Athletics. reached here early to-
night on his way to jacksonville,
where the Mackmen will do their early
prepping. He was accompanied by
Father McCloskey, who will be a reg

Manager Mack denied that there had
been any salary difficulty between
Plank and the club. and said the vet
eran looked even better than when he
reported last spring. Mack was Joined
here by President Nick Corish, of the

Nationals to Savannah, from which
club he was purchased on the optional
agreement last fall, will join the Ath-
Ietics before they return North. Rob-
ertson lead the South Atlantic League
