MAY RESTRICT FLOW

WASHINGTON D. c.. Feb. 15.-Pro-
tests were made at special meeting
of the house committee on rivers and
harbors yesterday by st. Louis steam.
boat men and others against the i'm
pounding of water at night above the
keokuk dam by the Mississippi River
Power company. Among those who
testified were Capt. John Streckfus.
president Of the Streckfus line of st.
Louis. T
Captain streckfus declared the i'm
pounding of water above the dam and
the failure to regulate the flow of wa
ter below the dam had endangered
navigation between Keokuk and st.
Louis, and threatened permanently to
destroy river commerce between those
two points. The channel OF the river
between Keokuk and st. Louis, he
said. was rapidly filling with sediment
thus lessening the benefits of govern
ment improvement.
Captain Streckfus was accompanied
here by H. G. Mead. general counsel
of the Streckfus line. Hugh l.. Coop
err. engineer of the Mississippi Power
company, who built the dam. also is
here to speak in behalf of the com
pany. The hearing will be continued
today.
The investigation Of the Keokuk
dam, which supplies power for the
lighting of st. Louis and many other
cities and towns along the Mississippi
river, resulted from a resolution re.
Gently introduced in the house by Rep
resentative Rainey Of Illinois, in
which he sought to prohibit the war
department from authorizing the i'm.
pounding Of water above any dam, II
by SO doing navigation is injured.
At the hearing yesterday it develop
ed that in addition to interfering with
river navigation, the back water
above the dam also threatens to ruin
the sewage systems of cities north OF
keokuk. q. H. Pollard, city attorney
of Fort Madison, Ia. testified that the
Sewage system In that city had been
90 hampered by the dam and that
plans were now being made to bring
suit for damages against the Missis'
sippi River Power company.
Although no definite statement has
been made by any member Of the in,
vestigating committee, the indications
are that some sort of restrictive meas
ure will be urged for the operation of
the dam, even If the Rainey resolu-
ton, which would prohibit the i'm
pounding Of water Altogether Is not IA
vorably acted upon.
