Fate Of Public Utilities.
.rUnited Press Leased Wire Ser,

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
DIES MONIES, Ia., Feb. 10.-The
fate OF every public utility in the
state will be in the hands Of the gov
ernor and home rule will be killed,
If a bill now in the hands OF a sub
committee of the joint public utili-
ties committee becomes a law The
bill would increase the railroad COM
mission from three to five members
and place control of all public utili-
ties under II.
The nomination and election of the
commissioners would be taken from
the voters and given to the governor,
who, with consent of two-thirds of
the senate, would appoint them
The commission would have dras-
tic powers in the matter OF rates,
rent and charges by public utilities,
and, according to observers, the bill
seems to nullify existing contracts
and franchises between municipali-
ties and utilities corporations.

ing that an election be held on the
question of relinquishing the com
mission form of government for Ham
ilton and return to the old time
mayor and aldermen style of city
council.
The petition had been filed with
the present council a week before,
but it was rejected as being deficient
in a number of things the law says
it must have. The action in court
is a sort of appeal from the council.
and an action to compel the latter to
hold the election.
But under the rules of notice, the
county court can not hear the case
until a week from today, and if the
Hamilton council received the pre-
cipe of the court "next Monday and
acted on it that night, the election
could not be held until March 20,
under the Illinois election laws.
That is practically too late to fit
into the present program and time
schedule for the city election. So,

militarily or politically. it was learn
ed from reliable source today 1t
is possible to state further in this
connection they will carry out their
intention to withdraw as rapidly as
possible the troops now on Russian
territory.
This is the outcome of the Anglo
American representations. made to
France ten days ago, which was ex-
clusively reported by the United
Press.
Advices from northern Russia in
dictate it will be impossible to get
boats to Archangel for several weeks
as that port is tightly frozen in. The
allies do not desire to withdraw their
forces from Murmansk while their
troops are still on the Archangel
front as that would leave the latter
exposed to an attack from the west.
The British, however, are under.

to expedite evacuation.
Before the joint conference con-

lieved that an understanding may be
reached by the soviet government
and the associated powers regarding
cessation of hostilities since this
would be acceptable. under present
conditions to both sides.

Four Out Of Six In February.
CHING back thirty years. there is a
record of an ice harvest here in the
latter half of March with the ther-
mometer eight degrees below zero.
prt that was a different kind of win
tG. yet again.
Much of the ice harvesting here has
nen done in February in the past ana
Mis- is the month that the ice men
rather call their own.
In 1918. 1914, 1916, and 1917, the
whole harvest was in February. This
Is four years out OF six years that
lake Keokuk has been in existence.
The lake changes ice forming condI-
tions here completely from what OBJ
tanned in the old government canal as
an ice field.
Some Statistics for Curious.
The railroad records of Mr. Max
well show that the harvest was be-
tween February 1 and 8. both inclus-
i've. in 1913, and in that eight days two
harvesting concerns here shipped $40
cars Of ice listed in the Keokuk sta
ton.
IN 1914, the harvest was from Feb
ruary IA, to March 5, nearly three
weeks long, and In that year three con-
Germs loaded 900 cars of ice here.
In 1916, between February 4 and 10,
sixteen days, two concerns loaded 4OS
cars Of ice at Keokuk.
The railroad record for 1917 shows
only sixty-four cars loaded by Azinger,
and the harvest was from February
3, to February Ia. :.
Most of It Goes Into Houses.
While much ice is shipped in rail-
road cars from the Keokuk station
every year, this now represents the
minor portion of the crop harvested
here.
Ice for other points by the train
load, and ice for the uptown ice hous-
es, like those of Azinger, is loaded out
OF the lake upon cars.
But the larger quantity OF ice which
is stored in the big ice houses along
the Iowa shore of Lake Keokuk, goes
directly from the water into the
houses, and this is a total of more
than goes into the railroad cars.
There are no exact figures available
as to the quantity Of ice cut in Lake
heokuk in any one year.
