The Misses Amy Hayes, Edith

Mabel Rhamey were Houghton Lake
visitors over the week end, where
they enjoyed fishing, and other var
ious good times. George Burt who
drove the young ladies to the lake, and
then rowed them around seeking good
places to fish, is slowly recovering
the use of his arms, the use having
been lost through overwork in rowing
to spots where good fishing might be
found, and these were every place ex-
cept where the boat happened to be.
To Miss Hayes went the honor of
catching the biggest fish, but the
others are telling of the big ones that
got away. They report a very en-
joyable trip.

Shipping Bill Now Before Congress
Has Been Amended According
to Word received
Hers.
SEA AND LAKES ONLY
Boat Lines Operating on These Bodies
Of Water VIII be e.
fected BY LeoIs-
iatIon.

Through a fight waged by the Ma
tional Rivers and Harbors congress,
the shipping bill now before con-
gress had been amended by the com
merce committee of the senate so
that boat lines operating on the Mis-
sissippi river do not have to come
under the Jurisdiction of the Inter
state Commerce Commission If fin
ally passed. The bill will only apply
to lines on the great lakes and high
seas. II the amendment fails and the
ally intended, small boat lines on the
rivers will be put to great expense to
comply with its provisions.
Secretary James M. Fulton Of the
Keokuk Industrial association has
Senator w. S. Kenyon notifying the
Industrial association Of the change
and the following communication
from the National Rivers and Harbors
congress further comments on the
amendment:
The shipping bill On. r. 1860, has
committee Of the senate that it ap-
plies only to common carriers by
water on the high seas or the great
lakes.
/ This amendment, II adopted. will
ions of the bill all boats plying on
waters inside the three mile limit:
but every boat, great or small. which
plies the. great lakes or goes outside
the three mile limit on its run, will
be subject to all the provisions OF the
bill and all rules and regulations
made by the proposed shipping board.
Another amendment so changes the
definition of the "other persons sub
ject to the act'' that ferry boats. tow
boats, lighters, draymen and steve
dores are exempted from the provis-
ions of the bill.
These changes are in the right d.
rection and, IL adopted. will greatly
improve tho bill. Many weighty
reasons have been advanced against
applying such regulations as are
contained In this bill to shipping in
any waters or in any trade. But
regulations which would merely be an
annoyance to boat OF 5000 or 10000
tons would be absolutely disastrous
when applied to = motor boat or =
little schooner. II we must have
regulation Of the larger ships, It
seems to me that an boats up to 100
or 200 tons net register ought to be
exempt
The bill will certainly be taken up
by the senate In short time, pos
sib1y by the latter part OF next week.
II, therefre, you want the present
amendments to stand, or further
Observation-Disclosures you should COM
municate with the senator's from your
state at once, preferably by wire.
And sfncS amy amendments made
by the senate must also be adopted
by the house before they can become
a part of The law, you should also
take the matter up with members OF
the house of representatives.
Very truly yours,
s. A. THOMPSON,
@t5e Secretary.

TROUBLE WITH WOMAN
Arrest and Subsequent Finding Of
Hop Outfit Started From This
His exciting
chase.

Concerning the capture of Burt
Ross, colored, alleged hop vender, in
Fort Madison, an account of which
was printed IN The Gate City last
evening, the Fort Madison Gem City
has the following:
After an exciting chase through
of Police Richard Willard captured
Burt Ross, negro accused OF viola
ton of the Harrison act, as a shop
vender" and who may also be ac-
cused OF violation OF the Mann act,
Sunday afternoon. The chase started
on Market street and ended when
Ross bounded into an open window at
the rear OF the Antilles hotel. ROSS
lit on bed in the room. The bed
showed sudden activity. The negro
fugitive went under the bed. A col
ored porter sat up, wondering what
had struck him. Then he looked I'M
der the bed and left. The man locked
himself In the room but finally sur
rendered.
( The arrest of Ross followed trouble
with negro woman who the authort-
ties say. he had enticed to this city
from Keokuk. The negro woman who
gave her name as Olive Dore, and ap-
peared to be very intelligent, told
the police that she received letter
from Ross asking her to come to Fort
Madison to play the piano at a dance.
She arrived here Sunday. In the
morning he said that he was leaving
town and when the woman asked for
her fare back home he demurred and
finally refused. She then set out to
find the police and made complaint.
The man eluded Assistant Chief
Willard who had arrested him and
escaped. Then the chase started. The
officer fired once into the air but it
merely increased the speed OF the
negro.
The negro ran to the rear Of the
hotel where he jumped into the open
window, onto another colored man
who lay asleep on bed in the room.
After the arrest Ross was searched
and his belongings were ransacked.
In a small valise, the police found a
quantity Of opium, and a smokers out
fit. There was nothing lacking, that
was needed to roll pill"
Deputy u. s. Marshal D. G. Crow
ley OF Keokuk was informed OF the
arrest here and he came to this city
yesterday morning. He accompanied
the negro to Keokuk where he will
face charge of violating the HART
son act, which provides against the
sale or having in possession narcotics
and drugs of any kind. He may also
face a charge under the Mann act.
He will be brought before the United
States commissioner at Keokuk.

Country writers spend a large part

merchant oftimes drifts from one
source to another to get free adver-
Using or advertising that they can
get free and In the end hguratively
get something of value for nothing at
the expense OF the writer in the rural

will sometimes send away to some
other town for their letter heads and
envelope printing instead OF giving
this small amount to their home Of
fees. This column would like to be
