At this point, after consultation
among members, Jacob NJ. Lowe OF
the committee announced that Miss
Tobin was exonerated.
Morris G. Gault, brother of Sol
Gault, alleged to have been badly
beaten by Moore, got in bad with the
committee when Miss Tyson pro-
duced a note bearing Morris name
addressed to the teacher and stating
Sol was home sick while he was
down before the committee yesterday
testifying.
Morris said he wrote the excuse
because he was afraid if his brother
told the teachers he was testifying
before the committee he would be
punished. The boy then declared
that his sister Fanny, Is, came home
from school crying that Miss Tyson
said she couldn't graduate. Morris
said he interviewed Miss Tyson and
she told him that Fanny couldn't
graduate because she hadn't gotten
certain cloth to sew in school, which
her parents couldn't afford to buy for
her, and he stated that she wasn't
permitted to graduate for year be-
cause of this. ..,
Lowe declared the boys testimony
would not be listened to because he
had written false excuse yesterday
and ordered him put out of the build4
ing.
H. Gault, Ali S. Marshfield, father
of Sol, told him his boy had come
home badly beaten up and after in4
effective interviews with Miss Tyson
he had sworn out a warrant for
Moore and had him arrested After
two continuances the case came up
before Judge Fry, but Gault said Miss
Tyson had asked him to let the mats

"easy" and Moore cried and told the
story of his life and he got off. 5

PUPILS BLAME TEACHERS AND
TEACHERS BLAME PUPILS
That "strong-arm methods have
been used at the Marquette school
there seems to be no dispute. The
dispute is as to who used them. The
children blamed the teachers and the
teachers blamed the pupils in the
hearing before the trial board COM
mittee of the Board of Education
yesterday.
Miss Mary E. Tobin, principal of
the school, accused of giving teachers
word to discipline pupils by corporal
punishment, was exonerated by the
committee as "she must maintain
discipline and was sent to that school
in order to bring about discipline.

pounds ringside, for his ten-round con.
test with Mike Gibbons next Satur.
day, and from now on plans to develop
his speed.
The Chicago Irishman is convinced
that he'll be returned the winner over
Gibbons and today discussed his chan.
ces, as lie sees them against one Of
the greatest boxers of his day.
From the start it was a question of
whether I could make weight without
hurting myself" said Packey. Il have
been out of the game for nearly two
years, and naturally i took on some
fat. l have been careful in other ways
neither smoking nor drinking, but to-
put it plainly l like the old eats and
l have put a lot of good, substantial
food under my belt in the last two
years.
"Well, when Gibbons and myself
signed articles in Chicago a month
ago | was as big as a house. l weigh
ed 1859 pounds IN the day the match
was made. The articles called for 147
pounds ringside. You can see for
yourself what a task / faced in the
way of reducing weight.
"Tve taken all that fat off. qYestgr;

That's close enough. I couldy loaf

battle and then dry out enough 0sget

and in tie meantime I'll keep away
from the big cats.
you can say for me that I am If
tip-top condition, and expect to enter
the ring next Saturday night without
a fear of the outcome. / will beat
Gibbons if it is possible to do it, and
If I don't I will have no excuses to
offer-unless something happens be-
tween now and Saturday. q " " II
"They're asking 10 to Z in your
town with Gibbons as the favorite."
Packey a told. ri
Here in New York, it seems to be
a 10 to 8 shot. What's the reason?"
Packey laughed. "Well I'll tell you
about that" he said. when this
match was made Gibbons was at his
best. He has been working while I
was resting. He -was training down
to the point where he looked fifty per
cent better than I did as a betting
proposition. Why shouldn't he be
favorite in the early odds?
@z5 '"Odds never made the winner of
a fight. I don't ware whether they are
laying 10 to Z On or against me. /
am satisfied in my own mind that I
am the Packey Mcfarland of former
days, and that's all ! care about"
A veteran fight writer here who has
watcher Packey closely during his
training stunts said today:
"The only difference l can see be.
tween the present day Mcfarland and
the old-timer is a little difference in
his foot work. He seems to be a
little slower on his dogs than he used
to be. The old boxing skill IS still
there. He is blocking as cleveerly as
he eve did, is thinking as fast and
is punching harder. I never saw him
show the kick ne is putting into his
blows. If he car speed up a little on
his feet he will be the same old kid
SO far as | can see, with some i'm
provement in his hitting. Now that
he has ceased to worry about weight
he ought to be able to get a little
mor pep into his legs"

ing crane for the speedy and economi-
cal loading and unloading OF freight
barges. With the completion of the
Panama canal the time has come when
the cities in the upper Mississippi val
lev must seriously and Immediately
consider the practical use OF the Mis-
sissippi river for freight transpOrta-
ton if they are to compete success
fully with the cities OF the Atlantic
seaboard for trade on the Pacinc
coast or in foreign countries. Their
home trade, even, is seriously endan-
gered by the changed conditions
brought about by the effects of the
canal. There is not an important
manufacturing, commercial or agricul-
tural interest that is not directly at
fected. All-rail rates to the Pacific
,,osst are the same on the principal
commodities from New York, Phila-
delphia, Baltimore and other eastern
cities as from Keokuk. Though many
miles nearer. We possess no advantage
over eastern cities on the all-rail
movement Of commodities to or from
Pacific coast terminals. To obtain
ocean rates our manufacturers and
merchants must pay all-rail rates to
the Atlantic seaboard. Against such
odds successful competition is impos-
sible. Relief from this state of affairs
is to be obtained only by making the
Mississippi river an actual carrier OF
commerce. The situation admits OF
no delay. In order to bring this mat
ter directly and forcibly to the atten-
ton of the people OF Keokuk a public
meeting will be called at an early
day at which the subject will be dis
cussed at length and receive the at
tention it deserves.

RIVER FRONT.

Great credit is due our predeces-
sors in Office, particularly former
Mayor Elder, for retaining the river
front from the railroads and Kidding
it from Blondeau to Bank streets Of
the unsightly structures which marred
its appearance With a view OF con-
tinuing the good work the present
council has entered upon a systematic
system OF river front Improvement.
Already considerable progress has
been made and more is planned for
the near future As evidence OF its
interest in the matter and its willing
ness to cooperate with the city the
Mississippi River Power company con-
tributed $1,000 In cash to the river
front Improvement fund. In addition
to this sum the city raised $S,139.23
by taxation. After some delay in me-
gotiations owing to the absence of the
owner from the city, the council Sc.
cured the earth above grade on por-
ton of the high bluff on the block
bounded by Second and Third, Des
Moines and Carroll streets There
were many men and teams out Of en-
ployment during the winter and early
spring Thesa were given employment
removing this earth and depositing 1t
on the river front between the bridge
and the Streckfus line warehouse at
the foot of Main street About $3.50
was expended In this way Approx
mateiy one half OF the earth to be re-
moved remains in site. This Is being
reserved until next winter when it is
anticipated the demand for employ
rient on the part of the poor and
needy will be greater than 1t is at the
present time.
Under the direction of the engf-
neers of the war department the
river channel is being deepaned at
the steamboat landings from the
bridge southwestward up to the har-
Dor line which is some distance out
in the river even at low water mark.
The bottom of the river in this vicinity
is solid rock. This is being blasted
out and loaded on barges. Through
the courtesy OF Major Thompson, en-
gine.er in charge at Rock Island, and
Major NJ. A-t.gs of this city. in charge
Of local river work, the rock thus
taken from the river is placed at the
disposal of the city and is being I'M
loaded along the river front on the
land side of the harbor line with a
view OF affording needed protection to
the earth fill which will be gradually
extended into the river.

FINANCIAL AFFAIRS.

The condition Of the city's finances
is set forth very exhaustivaly and
clearly in the report of the superin-
tendent of finance 1t shows that all
current bills have been paid and 9TH
er liabilities met as they came due.
There was, however, a burden OF
nearly $4,000. inherited from the pre-
vious council Owing to the loss of
the mulct tax after January 1st next,
there will be about $4,000 less revenue
during the current year To meet the
financial condition thus presented is
the problem to which this council is
giving its best thought. One thing is
certain: The most rigid economy Is
absolutely necessary Fixed expenses
must be reduced TO the minipum. re-
gardless Of who is affected thereby,
and street and other improvements
must be limited to the cash available
for their payment Every effort should
be made to get the city out Of debt
and then to keep 1t out. This cannot
be accomplished in single year, or
even in two or three years under the
lessened revenues occasioned by the
repeal OF the mulct tax, but 1t can be
brought about in time If effort is
steadily, earnestly and persistsntly
directed to that end

THE NEW BRIDGE.

Early in its existence last spring
the council entered into negotiations
with the Keokuk & Hamilton Bridge
company relative to the western ap-
proach to a proposed new structure
across the Mississippi river at this
point The Bridge company plan the
erection of a double-decked bridge
costing between 100000 and s4O0, 900
to take the place of the present
bridge. The council took the position
at the outset that any change in
grade or in the general character oI
the approach must be in the nature OF
an Improvement over the present one
and that the city should not be at any
expense whatever by reason OF the
change It adhered steadily to this
position throughout the negotiations
and in the end secured an arrange
ment highly advantageou to the city.
From the western end of the bridge
proper will be yiaduct which will
cross the railroad tracks and Water
street at the elevation OF about TWEEN
! ty-nine feet, landing at parapet in
block five. Thence to the east line
| of First street will be modern
I street to be known as Bridge street,
| with sidewalks fifteen feet wide on
each side. The city will construct
/ this street, but the cost will be met
| by the bridge company The money
for the purpose has already been ad-
vanced by the bridge company and
the right-of-way decided to the city.
! In consequence of the foregoing ar
rangement the 10 percent grade on
Main street from Water to First
street will be avoided and in its place
will be a grade of only 2.40 percent

FOUR main POINTS IN
MAYORS ANNUAL REPORT

The great gain to traffic of all kinds
thus assured need not be dwelt upon.
In this connection earnestly recon-
mend and urge that as soon as the
finances of the city will permit, right
of-way be secured from the extension
of Bridge street diagonally across lots
10, IL and ~, In block twelve to a
junction with Main street directly east
Of the property owner and occupied
by the Blom-C Collier company. The
grade OF the viaduct and of Bridge
street to First was planned with this
ultimate end in view. The extension
of Bridge street to this point would
afford 2.40 percent grade all the
way from the bridge to within $50
feet OF the top of Main street hill.
The present grade OF Main street be-
tween First and Second is II percent.
Avoidance of as much as possible of
this steep declivity is greatly to be
desired. ~

of this city, are taken up by Mayor S.

aid the need of greater powers for
the city administration OF the state
are the four points.
The following is his report in full:

teTal departments during the first year
of its existence. Effort has been
made TO make them as fun and ex-
plicit as possible with a view to CIV
ing the community all the information
available concerning the condition of
municipal affairs. This has necessi-
tsted longer reports in some instances
than usual, but it is believed that this
is more than compensated for by the
value OF the information they contain.
Could certain facts and events have
been forseen. notably the repeal with
in the last few months of the Iowa
mulct law. the Official program for
the year would probably have been
modified in certain particulars. but as
this was impossible changed condi-
tons had to be met as they arose.
