announcement is Made This Morning From In
dustrial Association Of Securing Live Concern
For the City.
IlRFs AND TUBES WILL Be ITS OUTPUT
p,o,os;tion Which Was Submitted by Marion, Ind
Concern Has Been Accepted and Location
is Secured.

The promise Of the Indus
trial association, made less
than a month ago, at the time
the future policy was deter
mined, that they would have
something worth while for
Keokuk, has been fulfilled.
The Industrial association this
morning announced the secur-
ing Of a large factory for this
city. It is the Standard Four
Tire company Of Marion, Ind.
A-plant will De established in
Keokuk for the manufacture Of
automobile tires and tubes.
The association approved the
proposition m ade by the
Standard -Four people this
morning, authorized the gift
Of a tract of land of three acres
on the Rein tract, and ap-
proves and recommends the
plan for raising the first
amount Of money through the
purchase of preferred stock by
the citizens of Keokuk.
The Standard Four Tire
company comes to Keokuk af-
ter careful investigation of the
field here, and after the com
pany and its promoters and
the proposition that was Of
fered here were given close
scrutiny by the Industrial as
ISOLATION of Keokuk. The men
behind the company are all
solid business men Of Marion,
Indiana. They felt that Keo-
kuk had great possibilities for
the field which they expect to
cover. The result is that the
industrial association, after a
little less than thirty days Of
negotiations, is able to an
nounce the first of the really
Dig factories which are coming
70 Keokuk, and to this section
Of the power zone.
The reason for the Marion
'ompany's coming here is to
'ut Its product right in the
very center of the demand.
There are over 10000 auto
mobiles in Iowa. They make

at Is needless to say that

at is needless to say that the
directors Of the Industrial asso-
citation are very much pleased with
the very favorable agreement
reached with the Standard Four
Tire Co. This proposition came up
to US less than four weeks ago and
by sticking constantly on the Job
II has been brought to the point
where the citIzens Of keokuk will
certainly handle It. The getting Of
one factory on the Industrial field
means much to the future Of keo-
kuk and the Industrial association
as Il makes available other factory
sites at great deal less expense
for trackaae, roadways, water, ets ,
than the initial factory. The d.
rectors feel that the people Of
keokuk are with them and that
keokuk has secured today most
valuable addition to its labor en-
pIoyIng industries.
"Before all Of the directors had
left the Industrial association
rooms this morning, after consun-
natino this agreement, MIR. Fulton
had already received by telephone
an order for ten shares Of stock
from a local enthusiast. From the
Interest shown in this project by
all people who havs heard OF II, It
appears as though the factory may
be started even before the time
specified In the agreement.

LONDON, May 12.-Serious anti
German riotine was renewed in east
London today. Crowds of men and
women paraded the streets, breaking
windows OF several butcher shops con-
Quoted by men with German names,
and throwing the furniture and sup
plies into the streets. The crowd
also threatened Germans with ply
sical violence. The police were tenn
porarily poweriess.
Several German butchers were
mobbed in Smithfieid Market and
thrown into the street. One was chas-
ed to the Farrindon street station and
finally drew a revolver with which he
withstood the crowd that was threat
ening him wlth death until a train
came aIonu which he boarded and
escaped.
The rotlng and anti-German demon
strations seem to be spreading
throughout the islands. At Liverpool,
Germans are unable to appear on the
streets and many have voluntarily
sought intern1ent in the prison camps
to protect themselves from violence.

many. Bryan and Blrleeon, It was
said, were not opposed, but wanted
more time to consider this plan. Gar
rison feared that 1t might lead to war.
but the president is said to have point
ed out that the majority Of instances
where ambassadors have been re-
called, that act alone has not been SUI
ficient to bring war declarations.
Withdrawal OF Ambassador Gerard
from Berlin, 1t was pointed out here
today probably would at once put .
stop to American relief work In those
portions OF Belgium now under Ger.
man control. The German govern
ment naturally would request the with
drawal OF relief commission officers
from Belgium at once. This Is one
of. the secondary factors to be reck-
Eoned with before the government
makes its decision, II 1t becomes nee
essary to decide SO grave matter
Administration officials emphasized
today that while the German circular
received at the state department yes.
ter1ay did indicate a willingness on
the part Of Germany to recede at least
a step in her submarine policy, 1t IN
no way affected the Lusitania matter.
On the question of torpedoing un-
armed merchant vessels carrying non

make a personal appeal to Emperor
William instead of proceeding through

WASHINGTON, May 12.-Washfns-

a fairly accurate idea of President
Wilson's plans relative to the Burop-
can war situation. He would call on
Germany, 1t was deemed certain, for
more accurate definition OF its policy
toward American shipping, cargoes
and lives In the zone of hostilities:
he would point out that in all three
respects the United States has lost
heavily and so far as the evidence In
