he must have been on the ship which
was in collision.
The Nieuw Amsterdam was at an
Choir off the coast of England when
the shock came, and the boat which
struck her was not identified. There
was a heavy fog. and 1t was due to
this that the collision occurred.
There was no immediate danger for
any Of the passengers or crew, so that
no concern need be felt for the safety
of the passengers, who have. by this
time, been landed at their destinations

who was here last week inquiring into
labor conditions, but who refused to
divulge the reasons for his inquiries,
has been found to be claim adjuster,
according to the st. Louis city direc-
tory. Further than that, inquiry which
was made regarding the man and his
errand. fails to reveal anything.
Mcbride came to Keokuk the first
part of the week and visited the In

he was looking for information re-
garding labor conditions. 1t was in-
timated that the information he asked
for might reach the eyes of big fac
tory which was looking for location.
The man, however, divulged nothing
OF the nature OF his errand.
He visited labor union officials here,
but they could find nothing about his
errand. He seemed to be good deal
like one of Charles FELTON, Pidgin's
heroes-nobody knew from whence he
came, or what his errand was. It was
suspected by the association officials
that Keokuk was not the first town
he visited. Mcbride asked for infor-
nation concerning all branches of Ia
Dor. The fact that he asked about
chefs, walters, together with structu~-

and the like. made it appear that he
might be seeking such Information as

ARE RAISING BARGE
SUNK LAST SUMMER
Work Of salvasins Boat Which Went
Beneath Waves In Forebay
Has Been Commenced.

Work of raising and saivaging a
barge which sunk in the forebay last
year, half way between the. power
house and the end of the ice fender,
has been carried on for several days
now. A couple of dredges, one equip
ped with "clam.shell, dipper and the
other with an Orange peeP' dipper
are at work. The barge was the prop
erty Of the power company, and the
work is being done by the power COM
pany.
The barge which carried some ma
chinery, sunk suddenly last year. 1t
entirely disappeared beneath the wat
er. Being at the side Of the forebay.
and beyond the boat channel it did
not interfere with navigation.
Work of raising the barge has been
started now, and is proceeding as fast
as possible. Some of the machinery
already has been taken off. The
dredgas pulled up some timbers dur
ing the progress of theswork.
Some little time may be consumed
in getting hold of the barge and the
machinery which is being sought for.
