Wife and Son Survive-Home Was in
Louisiana, Missouri, and Body
Will be Buried
There.
HE WAS % YEARS OLD

George Wright, twenty-eight years
old. an employe of the shoe factory,
died this morning at $50 o'clock in a
local hospital. after two weeks ILL
ness from typhoid-pneumonia, with
other complications.
Mr.. Wright came to Keokuk about
five months ago from his old home,
in Louisiana, Missouri, to begin
work at the shoe factory. He had
worked here continuously, and had
become very skillful in the use Of
the tools of his trade. He had lived
at No. 222 Concert street.
He was married, and leaves one
son, Jay.
The body will be taken back to
Louisiana for burial tomorrow morn
ing.
Although Mr.. Wright had only liv-
ed in Keokuk a few months. he had
made many friends, both among his
fellow employees at the shoe factory,
and in the city at large. He was a
young man Of fine character, and his
genial disposition and mannerisms
served to make friends for him with
great readiness.
His sudden death will be a great
shock to all who knew him, and his
untimely passing will be mourned.

A saerlleoe on Mature.

Minneapolis Journal: In Glacier
National park, Montana, are peaks
bearing such names as Rising Wolf
mountain, Bear Head mountain. Go
ing-to-the-Sun mountain, Red Eagle
mountain, AlmostIa-Dog mountain.
In the same park are noble sum-
mits disfigured with such appellations
as Stimson mountain, Pinchot noun
tain, and 1t is proposed to rename
some crest with a sonorous or sug-
gestive Indian name after our pres
ent inconsequent secretary Of the
navy. No wonder the Blackfeet In
dams protest.
AS one goes west across Montana,
from the vast convex OF the great
plains there rises southwark mass
called the Bear Paw mountain, while
a little farther rise upon the north
the Sweet Water hills. How euphoni-
Gus. even poetic are these names
There are in Montana counties
named Silver Bow, Deer Lodge. and
Beaver Head, but even Montana could
not get off without naming one coun-
ty the eternal Cass. Just why there
should be a Cass county in about ev-
cry western state no one knows, for
Lewis Cass is now all but forgotten.
But the practice Of disfiguring a
noble landmark with the ugly cog
nomen OF a pifhing politician should
be sternly repressed. The propensity
is no more than the grown-up edi-
ton of the small boys itch to scrib-
BILE his name on the back Of the barn.
Our grandchildren are going to be
more critical than we. They will bet
ter cherish their folklore and Will
have more regard for their America.
When they run across Mount JOSE
plus Daniels and Williams Jennings
Bryan gulch, they will scott at their
grandfathers' taste. We hope they
will do better still-take the Slim
son and it's stigma off one grand sum-
init and restore the picturesque old
,Blackfoot Indian name.

COMBINATION
is FAVORED
Cement Curb and Gutter Meets With
Approval of Commissioner
Hickey.

The combination cement curb and
gutter. which has been recommended
by Gate City correspondents severa,
times in the past, is approved by T.
J. Hickey, commissioner of streets.
Mr.. Hickey believes that the combi-
nation is very good thing, but
states that the cost is somewhat
higher than the ordinary curb.
However, where street is being
paved with brick. cement combination
cutters and curb, extending out into
the street about eighteen inches on
either side, would no doubt materially
reduce the cost of the street because
of the fact that much less brick
would be required.
The combination Is admirable from
the standpoint Of drainage. There is
no place for the water to leak
through, as in brick street where
the bricks are laid to the edge of the
curb. It Is said that the tar and
other materials between the bricks
also retards drainage and that this
would be done away with in the COM
bination.
Many local people are in favor Of
the combined gutter and curb and it
is probable that it will be tried out
here. A short stretch of Johnson
street was constructed in this man.
ner, and has given entire satisfaction,
it is said.

TELLS OF SALE
OF MANY GIRLS
One Dollar Per Pound Was the Price
Paid In Slave Market in
New York.

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-One dollar
pound is the price actually paid in
several instances for immature young
girls auctioned Off by white slavers to
proprietors OF disorderly resorts in
New York, Assistant District Attorney
Smith, prosecuting the campaign
against the vice trust declared today.
From men and women now under
arrest and awaiting trial, Smith has
obtained the most amazing confess
sions Of workings of the white slave
gang. Not only did they systematical-
ly set about to obtain school girls for
resorts, but on East Twenty-second
street they maintained a house, where
young girls, sometimes partly and
sometimes completely disrobed, were
sold to the highest bidder.
we learned today that in one In
stance agents for two dfsorderly
houses got into a dispute over the
value of girl who had been put up
for SALE" said the assistant district
attorney. They finally agreed upon a
price OF dollar a pound. After that
1t became common practice to weigh
all girls and announce weight to bid
ders. Information regarding the
white slave auction was obtained
after the arrest of Dubitz Zubier alias
David Parish and his wife, Kate Par
ish in the Twenty-second street
house. The district attorneys office
Is investigating reports OF other SINH
lar places maintained. It was re-
called today that only a few months
ago minister's daughter was kid
naped and auctioned off nude before
gang in an Italian dance hall.
The vice trust now under IRE did
not by any means, conf1ne its activi-
ties to New York, Smith said. Most
of the girls were obtained from poor
families here. Some Of them were
kept in New York resorts, but others
We're shipped to Chicago and western
cities. The trust maintained repre-
sentatives in several western towns.
In one instance, Smith learned, the
earnings of a young girl in one resort
totalled 5000 for a week She received
1922 of this amount but was forced to
pay 1920 to the white slave auc-
tioneer or "Geschetor' and $25 for
board. The proprietress of the resort
receiveod $751; in addition to the $25
for board.

closed Of course there were few
farmers who occasionally took glass
