bridge Sure to be Reconstruct
ed During Present Year,
Says Moorhead After
Conference.
APPROACH IS APPROVED
New Plans For Illinois Ap-
proach Meet Approval Of
Keokuk and Hamilton
City Officials.

That congress will sanction the re
construction of the Keokuk and Ham
ilton bridge on its present level, max
Ing it legal" bridge and that the
work of reconstruction will be done
this year, was the belief of Mayor s.
W Moorhead this morning, followins
the conference yesterday afternoon be.
tween the city officials of Keokuk and
Hamilton at Hamilton.
The conference was held on the
matter of the approach to the Illinois
side of the bridge. The first plans
drawn for this approach were unsatis-
factory to the officials of both cities.
It was not learned until some time
after the close of the conference that
these plans already had been changed
BY the bridge company so that THEY
now are satisfactory to all parties
concerned.
The bridge company owns the land
upon which the Illinois approach is TO
be constructed. Hamilton official ),
therefore, were unable to dictate thu
method in which this approach should
be built, as was the city council Of
Keokuk. The influence of the local
officials was to have been used in
forcing the bridge company to con-
struct the Illinois approach so that it
would be satisfactory to the people
who are to use it, had this action
been necessary.
Present plans for Approach.
According to The present plans of
the bridge company. the Illinois ap-
proach will be constructed on grade
OF six per cent. There will be one pas
sageway for vehicles travelling both
ways. This will be eighteen feet wide
The approach will land on the north
side of the bridge so that it will not
be necessary for vehicles to cross the
Wabash and T. p. & w. tracks. These
plans are satisfactory to officials of
both Hamilton and Keokuk..
Under the first plans drawn there
were to have been two approaches.
one for traffic goins each way. One
or these was to have been landed Oh
the north and the other on the south
side of the railroad tracks. Each ap-
Droach was to have been but eight

CONGRESS- WILL SANCTION
PRESENT LEVEL Of BRIDGE

uidh1uS IL QlmCuit IOr Von1CleS TO
leave or enter the bridge and making
1T almost impossible for load Of hay
to enter the bridge.
Serious objection to these plans
would have been entered by the local
council had not the voluntary action
of the bridge company made this I'M
necessary.
! At the present time the bridge IS
not legal bridge, it was learned
by officials of the company recently,
because it is constructed but eight
feet above the water, while the federal
law provides that it must be ten feet
above high water.
Delay Of Year Was Threatened.
A delay of year ints the recon-
struction of the bridge was threaten
ed on this account, because, it was
said, permission OF congress to recon
struct the bridge on the eight foot
level would have to be secured before
bonds could be sold to raise money
for the improvement. 1t was stated,
also that if necessary to raise the
piers two feet, more time and money
would be required.
Local city officials as we'll as those
of Hamilton are anxious that congress
permit the bridge company to rebuild
their bridge on the present level and
Illinois and Iowa congressman from
the Hamilton and Keokuk districts
have been informed of this desire.
Mayor Moorhead said today he was
confident congress would authorize
the reconstruction OF the bridge on
this level.
Sent Wire to Congressman.
The desire Of the local officials
was made known to the congressman
through a telegram sent after the
conference yesterday as follows:
Hon. c. A. Kennedy, M. c.,
House Offices, Washington, D. c.
Important that bridge be recon.
structed on present level If new act

approve it. We are not satisfied that

twelve feet in width, with openings

eighteen feet, retaining maximum six
per cent grade? Assured OF this, we
can endorse bridge coDipany's bill,

S. W. MOORHEAD,
Mayor OF Keokuk, IA.
A. D. BARBER,
Mayor OF Hamilton, M.
1t was not learned until after this
telegram was sent that the bridge
company already had decided upon a
change in the plans for the Illinois
approach.
Congress VIII Sanction.
Actual work on the reconstruction
OF the bridge will not be started for
two or three months, according to
Mayor Moorhead. He said today that
The company would start this work
in time to have everything but the
draw span completed by the time
navigation closes next fall. There Is
no occasion for them to start work
earlier than will be necessary to get
all but the draw span completed at
that time.

The Harrisburg Memorial
In East Harrisburg Cemetery

This cemetery contains the most
ideal location for a masoleum. which
has appealed to numerous Masoleum
Companies. In taking the matter into
consideration the full Board of Trus-
tees have thoroughly investigated
mausoleum construction by personally
visiting buildings, have investigated
systems of desiccation, or methods of
sanitation, and ways of entombment.
BY unanimous vote have awarded the
franchise to the Sanitary Mausoleum
Company, of Reading, Pa, on a basis
of deserved merit. This location has
been much sought. At the west end
of the central drive, against a back
ground of natural forest trees tower
ing above. will stand this stately and
sublime structure, within easy reach
by street car and funeral car over
paved streets. This leaves 1t beyond
speculation as to what will be done in
the future. The cemetery itself is
now undergoing extensive improve
ments and is not so located as to block
the future development of the city

Some excellent vaudeville shows

Park Theater this summer, but 1t is
| doubtful If any of them quite euualed
the offering at the park playhouse this
week. The Box Car Duo, an act that
consists of two very clever singers
who give their audience q series of
well rendered parodies makes one of
the most original comedy acts tnat mas
played the park this season. This act
is mounted with a complete set of
scenery representing a box car on a
siding and the two comedians, made
up as tramps, make their entrance
from the side door pullman"
This situation furnishes the basis
for snappy line of comedy dialogue
by the two tramps. Other acts on
the bill are The Krells, a renned musi-
cal Offering, Mae Dale with an excep-
tionally funny monologue; Sprague
and McMuse in classy roller skating
act and Rice, Elmer and rom, In a

THE ETERNAL CITY"
At THE REGENT
Film, Taken From Story by Hall
Caine, Presents Many Beautiful
Scenes and Elaborate Stagings

The idea of dramatfzing books for
motion pictures has long sfnce lost
Its newness, for to-day most of the
big plays thrown upon the screen have
for their foundation the story written
by some noted author.

from the story by Hall Caine.
Filmed In eight reels, "The Eternal

more than worth while seeing. Given

scenic beauty, THE Eternal City
would still hold its charm. For moth

Filmed for the greater part in Rome

tional value that is found in but few
And what is true of the picture is also
true of the players. Donna Roma, the
title role is entrusted to Pauline Fred
erick, star of Joseph and His Breth-
rem in which as Potiphar's wife she
probably scored her greatest stage
triumph.
In her work, one could scarcely wish
for more. In her role. first as the lady
of the court when she scurned and
leading the Italian Socialists hurled
his invective at the royalty, and later
as the wife of that man, she gave her
self up and took his crime upon he1
shoulders; Pauline Frederick lnfuses
an artistry into her work which makes
