JOURNAL HOSTILE TO
j. 5. SUPPRESSED
Germany Puts Ban on Anti
American Utterances Of
Count ReventIoW.
BY CARL w. ACKERMAN.

BERLIN (via The Hague). June aa.-
That the German foreign office wishes
to avoid anything likely to interfere
with the peaceful understanding with
the United States Is the Interpretation
placed today on the suspension of the
Deutsche Taees Zeitung.
Announcement that the paper would
not appear for an indefinite period was
made last night. The ban is said to
have been ordered because of an edi-
torial that appeared yesterday morn
Ing. While no further explanation was
onered. 1t was accepted here that Count
Reventlow's comments upon the Lusi-
tania sinking and the German-American
negotiations furnished the reason.
Significant Developments.
The American colony considers the
suppression Of the Tages Zeitung, the
most significant development of the
whole situation. Reventlow, the Tages
Zeitung's widely quoted naval and mill
tary writer. has shown the least ten
dency toward conciliation of all the
German writer's. The fact that the pa
per that carried his articles has been
suspended is, therefore, looked upon as
matter of great Importance.
Germany's reply to the second Ameri-
Sau Will De delayed for
at least ten days more. An official of
the foreign office said today that the
situation at present Is such that II is
impossible to state exactly when the
reply will be completed.
In Won Tirpitz's Hands.
The matter is now in the hands Of
Admiral Won Tirpitz, personally. While
he is formulating his suggestions, the
foreign office is analyzing the data
brought to Berlin by Dr. Anton Meyer
Gerhard.
Count Rev entlow has been psearded
as one Of the flrcbrands Of the present
German. American situation. AS a
writer he won attention by his un-
compromising stand for greater
German navy. Since the sinking of
the Lusitania he has repeatedly in
| sisted that the German government
concede nothing to the United States
| that might hinder the German sub
] marine campaign. During the past
1 week. Reventlow launched several at
| tacks against Dr. Eugen Zimme rman
director of the Berlin Lokal Anzeiger,
! for suggesting that possibly America
| was legally right in permitting the
sale of munitions OF war to the allies.

TO BE HELD IN APRIL
Four Hundred Men Will Attend Con.
vention to Last Four Days
Dam viii Attract
Many.

Arrangements for the convention of
the Iowa section of the National Elec-
trio Light association, to be held In
this city some time in April, will be
made at Des Moines tomorrow when
j. P. Ingle, general superintendent OF
the Keokuk Electric company, and Z.
w. Kellogg, manager of the Missis-
sippi River Power company. will meet
the members OF the executive commit
tee of the association.
MT. Ingle and Mr.. kellogg left this
afternoon for Des Moines. The meet
ing will be held tomorrow morning.
Among other matters to be decided
upon tomorrow will be the date for
the convention. 1t already had been
decided to hold the convention some
time in April but definite date had
not been set.
1t is expected that about four hun
bred men will attend the convention
which will continue four days. Prac'
tically all who attend will be com
rany managers and department heads
Many expect to bring their wives to
the convention and plans to entertain
them will be made.
Three organizations, all closely al
lied, will meet here at the same time
Besides the Iowa section of the Ma
tional Electric Light association, the
state organizations of electrical con
tractors and of street and interurban
railway men will meet here.
From letters that have been receiv
ed here from various parts OF the state
lit is believed the meeting will be
very largely attended. The public
utility men seem very enthusiastic
about the selection of this city as tbs
site for their convention as 1t will
give them an opportunity to make
careful and thorough inspection of the
power house and dam here. The
model substations of the Keokuk Elec
trio company as we'll as the down
town street lighting system here also
will be subjects Of much interest t.
the visitors.

OBSERVATION END
MAY BE ABOLISHED
Several Railroads Have Already TAX.
en- Steps to do Away With
This Extra Expense.

The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific,
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul,
and the Burlington railroad companies
are planning to abolish the observa.
ton platforms on the limited trains,
following the removal of the illumin.
ating signs on the rear end of the
last coach, which latter move has al
ready been decided upon. All of the
forty-three big western railroads will
do similarly.
Only few can ride on the observa-
ton platform, which is in use only in
the summer time. Such devices create
an additional expense, and when they
is difficult to replace them. In adj
dition they always have to be placed
on the rear end of the train, and have
to be turned at every terminal. It is
believed that within this year they
will be abolished.
The companies have already voted
to abolish the illuminating signs on
the rear platforms, which has been
done in accordance with the policy Of
retrenchment, which has been In
vogue for the past year. These signs
cost about $1s each and are illuminat-
ed by electricity generated in the axle
of the car. While the first cost Is not
prohibitive, yet they are frequently
smashed, due to rough handling by
switch engines.
Too, while these signs give attrac-
tive appearance to the rear end of the
train they do not attract any bust
ness and are regarded as useless ex-
Eense. They do not draw attention
to train until after it has left the
station, and appear to be an item of
expense that can be dispensed with
and without objection upon the part
of the travelling public.
