The fact is--and il is the crux of the

Keokuk's big power plant is rich in

Here is Mr.. Bennet's story about the
ulant and wherein Keolruk failed TO
get much but glory out of the deal:
What did Keokuk get out Of this
colossal power plant which it pro-
noted into being and which ranks
among the most majestic and most
useful works of human hands?
Not much. relatively speaking, be-
yond glory.

but hardly more than half score of

A Dream We. Far Away.

It is also probable that the I'M

forward.
In the present stage of the science
of hydraulic engineering the creation
OF frequent power plants along the
Mississippi would mean. owing TO lack
of such gorges as the one at keokuk,
the flooding of the countryside for ter
miles wide. At Keokuk there are no
bottom lands TO speak OF.
II you flooded seventy-five square
miles, with farm land worth at least
500 an acre, you would soon bump
into damages totaling five or six mil

Another Defendant Added To Pan-Motor Conspiracy Charge Hearing In Chicago

CHICAGO, Oct, 29.-On charge of "conspiring to violate postal laws Paul w Hyde of Chicago, a witness in the Pan Motor trial, was held to a grand jury by Federal Judge Lan- dis today. His bonds were fixed at S10,000. The episode came as an interlude in the trial of 13 officials of the Pan Motor company, charged with using the mails to defraud.
 It was during the examination of MT. Hyde by attorneys in the case that Judge Landis heard some tes. timony which he believed warranted further examination
 MT. Hyde stated that he had been connected with "The Banker, The Merchant and the Manufacturer" and another trade journal, which had ac cording to testimony, printed articles boosting" the Pan Motor company
 The Pan company, witnesses said had purchased extra copies of both journals, paying $45O for them. Let ters introduced as testimony tended to show that the articles had been submitted to MT. Pandolfo before they were used in the journals.

Steps Are Taken To Obtain Recognition Of U. s. Delegates At Labor Conference

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-The in ternational labor conference, which formally opened today, took steps to obtain the virtual participation of the United States in the conference although congress had decided against the appointment of delegates prior to ratification of the peace treaty.
 On motion of Baron Mayer des Planches, iItalian government dele- gate, United States employers and workers organizations were invited unanimously to send representatives to take part in the conference.
 While no attempt was made to obtain the appointment of z govern mental delegates, as such action would have been in conflict with the decision of congress, the United States will be represented in the con- ference through Secretary of Labor Wilson, who opened today's session and probably will continue as con ference president. MT. Wilson will be proposed by the organizing com mittee as permanent chairman dur ing the period of organization" at the meeting tomorrow and no ob- lection is expected.

Two youths who were mounted on unshod ponies, and who are be- lieved to be the youths who have been perpetrating a number of rob- berries throughout the county, were seen yesterday by the members of a road crew near Tombstone, accord. ing to word brought here later.
 The chief depreciation of the boys occurred at the home of William Davis, about three miles from Bisbee on the Tombstone road, several days ago. Davis and his family were in the mountains, and his home was being watched by his lson-intlawj Charles Malcolm. The boys stole 8 saddle and a number of other ar ticles, and the tracks of unshod ponies were found in the soil about the place. They also broke sev- eral jars of fruit preserves.

s KILLED; Al INJURED IN
 R. R. WRECK
Southern Pacific Train Jumps Over Embankment Near L.
 A.; Carries Tender and 5 Day Coaches Along With It

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 29-Nine per sons were killed and 40 injured when Southern Pacific train number 50, southbound, was wrecked near Acton at 3:2O o'clock this afternoon, accord ing to a telephone message received here from Constable Dl. Hunter at Ac- ton.
 The cause of the wreck was unde- teilnined early tonight, but according to railway officials, it occurred on a ten-degree curve and on a sharp downgrade. The engine, tender, two baggage cars and five day coaches wenc over the embankment, tearing down telegraph and telephone lines. Three standard sleeping cars, a amer and tourist car, composing the re- meinder of the train, remained on the track.
 First information of the wreck reached railway officials here through Conductor Alexander Cameron, who caught an automobile and rode to the nearest telephone at Acton, two and half miles distant from the scene of the accident.
 Among the killed were H. J. Fielder, engineer, Los Angeles, and l.. P. Forece, fireman, Mojave.
 At o'clock it has Deen learned definitely that at least six passengers had been killed, but as work of clear ing away the debris was proceeding slowly, it was not possible to ascer- tain the exact number at that time.
 The relief train bringing passen- gers here has approximately 40 in- jured persons aboard.
 The passengers maily were from San Francisco and northern Califor- mia points. They had gone south on ''stub" train to a caved-in tunnel on the Tehachapi mountain, been trans ferred around the cave-in in automo- piles, and were on their way to southern California destinations.

only unjustifiable, but unlawful, refer ence was had only to the conditions lin the impending situation.
 "The proposed strike was ordered in a manner, for a purpose and with a necessary effect, which, taken to- gether, put it outside the pale of the law. After the war began, the pro- duction of fuel was regarded as one of the subjects of such peculiar public importance as to justify a special statutory enactment. The fuel admin istration was created to supervie the subject and matters of wages as well as prices were considered and sanc- toned by the fuel administration. After the cessation of hostilities the fuel administration suspended certain of it's orders, but did not terminate them, and they are subject to rein statement at any time upon the pres ident's order, and the statute under which the orders were made is still in full force.
 With this situation existing, the convention of the United Mine Work CTS at Cleveland last September de- cided to annul all wage contracts on November 1, and took the unprece- dented step of deciding in advance of any opportunity for consultation, either with the government or with the coal operators, to strike on No vember l, unless satisfactory new ar rangements should be made.
 Without any expression from the workers themselves, the organization promulgated demand for a SO per cent increase in wages, six-hour day, and five-day week. and author ized strike, to be effective Novem- Der l, before the demands were even presented to the operators. The de- mand for new wage agreement cov- cred only portion of teh coal fields, but the strike order was sent broad cast to workers in other fields where operators had been given no oppor- tunity to cen consider demands for increased wages or decreased hours. All this has been done while the miners in every field, through their right of collective bargaining, had en-

LAST AMENDMENT n TREATY
 PASSES INTO HISTORY WHEN SENATE DEFEATS PROPOSAL TC
 REVISE LEAGUE VOTING POWER
Two More Proposed Changes Recently Brought Up by n- dividual Senators Also Voted Down; Debate During Day Relates to Everything From Literature to Religion Today's Fight Will Center on Ef-
 fort to Eliminate Labor Section

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-The 46th amendment to the peace treaty pass ed into history today when the last survivor, a proposal by Senator Moses, Republican of New Hampshire. to revise voting strength in the league ofnations, was defeated in the senate, AZ to 36.
 The senate then upset two more proposed teXtual changes brought in by individual senators. One, present ed by Senator sherman, Republican of Illinois, and proposing to write into the treaty preamble to the deity, was laid on the table by a vote of 57 to 2. The other, sponsored by Senator Johnson, Republican of California, as a new solution for voting inequality in the league, was killed, 49 to 35.
 IA adjournment, however, the effort to hasten final action had been brought up against an obstacle which seemed likely to prevent further pro- gress for several days.
 Tomorrow a determined group of senators will launch a fight to elim- mate the labor section, opening a de bate which will last, leaders expect, for a week The battle is expected to be the more spirited because it is regardd as holding out whatever hope remains of writing any amenGment into the treaty
 Nine Republicans joined the Demo cTats in overthrowing the Moses amendment, which provided that none of the rBitish dominions should vote in any league controversy directly af fecting any one of them. Three Dem ocrats voted with the Republicans supporting it. On the new. Johnson amendment, proposed as a substitute for the one rejected last week, the lineup was the same as on his orig inal proposal, the only changes in the record vote being due to absentees and pairs. Most of the Republican leaders helped to defeat the Sherman amendment.
 The greater part of the days de bate related to subjects not directly under consideration. The labor sec tion- got the biggest share of atten. tion, Senator LaFollette, Republican of Wisconsin, centering discussion

 During consideration of Senator Sherman's amendment, the debate got into the realm of literature and re- ligion, MT. Sherman deciarmg Vol taire would have rejoiced to see the collection of Goddess men" who gathered at eVrsailles, and Senator Lodge, Republican of Massachusetts, replying with Macbeth's exclamation, "I cannot say, God bless us.'"
 It would be travesty, said MT. Lodge, to invoke divine blessing on such a treaty.
 Opposing the amendment, Senator Thomas, Democrat of Colorado, said if the chaplain's daily prayer in the senate chamber hada ccOmplished any improvement, he had been unable to perceive it. He added that he did not favor "saddling the Almighty with all the sins of man." Other opponents pointed out that the American con- stitution had entered without contain ing reference to the deity and de- clared such a reference in the treaty would make trouble, because of the many religions supported.
 The chair was unable to control the galleries when Senator Sherman, say ing he was not member of any church, got into a tilt with Senator Robinson, Democrat of Arkansas.
 'I have never prayed in my fife" said MT. sherman.
 Doesn't the senator think" inter jected Senator Robinson, "that it is about time he began?"
 "No," MT. Sherman shouted. mo. not at the appearance of any such an tagonist as the senator from Arkan- sas. I can take of him myself" The motion to table was made by Senator Robinson after Senator Walsh, Democrat of Massachusetts. who had voted for several committee amendments, pleaded that senators who were consistently opposing all amendments as a matter of principle. should not be asked to go on record directly in regard to the one proposed by Senator Sherman.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. 29-That "a strike of bituminous miners can not be avoided was the outstanding conclusion of a statement issued late today by the conference of the United Mine oWrkers of America officials. Blame for the situation was laid at the feet of the operators because they had refused to negotiate a wage agreement, notwithstanding the fact that the mine workers representa- tives had urged and beseeched them to do SO"
 The miners, the statement claims, will be exercising constitutional rights in striking. The statement also sets forth that the union officials gave profound consideration to the statement of President Wilson as 1t appeared in the newspapers, and add ed that no communication on that subject had been received from the federal administration.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 29-The posi- llOu Ol llS SONSInLuellJ III tIle lLup6Hu- ing coal strike was announced tonight as follows:
 There can be no doubt that the government has the power, in the public interest, under the law, 10 deal with the projected strike of the hituminous coal miners, without in- fringing upon the recoenized right of men in any line of industry to work when they please an,G quit work when they please. The illega1ity OF Hnfs strike can and will be established without in any way impairing the gen eral right to strike. and the general right to strike is not an issue in any sense whatever in the present situa- tion. This is true because the cir cumstances differentiate this case from the case of any other strike that has ever taken place in the country.
